			of a mysterious weapon 
			 
			The archaeological expedition, which carried out excavations near 
			the Indian settlement of
			
			Mohenjo-Daro in the beginning of 
			the 1900s, uncovered the ruins of a big ancient town. The town 
			belonged to one of the most developed civilizations in the world. 
			The ancient civilization existed for two or three thousand years. 
			However, scientists were a lot more interested in the death of the 
			town, rather than in its prosperity.  
			 
			 Researchers tried to explain the reason of the town's destruction 
			with various theories. However, scientists did not find any 
			indications of a monstrous flood, skeletons were not numerous, there 
			were no fragments of weapons, or anything else that could testify 
			either to a natural disaster or a war. Archaeologists were 
			perplexed: according to their analysis the catastrophe in the town 
			had occurred very unexpectedly and it did hot last long.  
			 
			Scientists Davneport and Vincenti put forward an 
			amazing theory. They stated the ancient town had been ruined with a
			nuclear blast. They found big stratums of clay and green 
			glass. Apparently, archaeologists supposed, high temperature melted 
			clay and sand and they hardened immediately afterwards. Similar 
			stratums of green glass can also found in Nevada deserts after every 
			nuclear explosion.  
			 
			A hundred years have passed since the excavations in 
			Mohenjo-Daro. The modern analysis showed, the fragments of the 
			ancient town had been melted with extremely high temperature - not 
			less than 1,500 degrees centigrade. Researchers also found 
			the strictly outlined epicenter, where all houses were leveled. 
			Destructions lessened towards the outskirts. Dozens of skeletons 
			were found in the area of Mohenjo-Daro - their 
			radioactivity exceeded the norm almost 50 times. 
			 
			The great ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata, contains 
			numerous legends about the powerful force of a mysterious weapon. 
			One of the chapters tells of a shell, which sparkled like fire, but 
			had no smoke.  
			
				
				"When the shell hit the ground, the 
				darkness covered the sky, twisters and storms leveled the towns. 
				A horrible blast burnt thousands of animals and people to ashes. 
				Peasants, townspeople and warriors dived in the river to wash 
				away the poisonous dust."  
			 
			
			Astounding mysteries of India's ancient 
			times can be found in the town of Shivapur. There are two 
			enigmatic stones resting opposite the local shrine. One of them 
			weighs 55 kilograms, the other one is 41 kilograms. If eleven men 
			touch the bigger stone, and nine men touch the smaller stone, if 
			they all chant the magic phrase, which is carved on one of the walls 
			of the shrine, the two stones will raise two meters up in the air 
			and will hang there for two seconds, as if there is no gravitation 
			at all. A lot of European and Asian scientists and researchers have 
			studied the phenomenon of 
			
			levitating stones of Shivapur.  
			 
			Modern people divide the day into 24 hours, the hour - into 60 
			minutes, the minute - into 60 seconds. Ancient Hindus divided the 
			day in 60 periods, lasting 24 minutes each, and so on and so forth. 
			The shortest time period of ancient Hindus made up 
			one-three-hundred-millionth of a second.
