While some point to high radiation levels in certain locations, no concrete proof of ancient nuclear weapons exists. Some people believe that nuclear wars happened in ancient times, pointing to places with high radiation levels, strange ruins, and ancient texts that describe fire from the sky. Sites like Mohenjo-Daro in present-day Pakistan and parts of India have been mentioned in these theories because some ruins appear to show signs of intense heat or destruction.
However, scientists have not found any real evidence that nuclear weapons existed in prehistory. Natural causes, such as radioactive minerals in the ground or past meteor impacts, can explain high radiation levels in certain areas. Some ancient texts, like the Mahabharata, describe great battles and powerful weapons, but historians believe these are mythological stories, not records of real nuclear wars.
While it’s fascinating to imagine lost civilizations with advanced technology, there is no solid proof that nuclear weapons existed before modern times. All known evidence suggests that nuclear technology was first developed in the 20th century during World War II.
