[INDOLOGY] Record heat Mohenjo Daro

[Howard Resnick]

Is there any evidence that thousands of years ago, the weather in Pakistan and Northern India was significantly different than it is today? I ask because I’m trying to imagine the conditions roughly around the time of Mahābharata.

Thanks!
Howard
