Dear All,

This could be a significant question, even if the MBh originates millennia later than Mature Harrappan civilization. It is significant because of the number of civilizations that have shown to be destroyed by climate change.

Cheers,

Dear Scholars,

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 Mahâbharata.

Thanks!
Howard
