An Advanced Civilization on Earth Thousands Of Years Ago??, page 2

Discussed many times before. You might want to recheck and look for ORIGINAL sources on this.

Now how about the discovery of green glass in the ruins of Mohenjo Daro?

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.

I'm afraid that the information you found is both wrong and misleading. The town was found in the 1920's (not 1900) and was one of the most developed civilizations... AT THE TIME. It's an early Bronze Age technology.

Tools from this advanced civilization are here:

Those are real tools and real things that people used. While they're elegant AND advanced for that time period, they're not advanced compared to, say, the technology of the Roman Empire or even Medieval Europe or Medieval China.

So they told you A truth...but put it in the wrong context to persuade you of something that's not true.

Scientists Davneport and Vincenti put forward an amazing theory.

Have you gone on a hunt to see who these "scientists" are? I think you should. The FIRST thing to check in any report is "who said this" and "do they know what they're talking about?"

Many of the "out of place artifacts" or "amazing evidence" objects are certified and discussed by scientists that don't exist and never existed. Occasionally they're discussed by a scientist who is in a different field (like a physicist) and knows nothing of geology or archaeology.

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.

All that is fiction. As you can see from the above link and other links to the archaeology of the town, it's not been ruined by any atomic blast.
Several buildings and rooms are in the link below. This isn't how material from an atomic blast site looks -- but it is very typical for an abandoned town.

So what does one make of this?

Here..

As I'm sure everyone has told you by now, Pravda is a tabloid and they make things up. They're as trustworthy a source as The Onion.

Here's more about the real history of the area, where many towns were destroyed when the Ayras invaded the region and took control of it. Mohenjo Daro was one of the towns that was attacked. The destruction is simply Bronze Age warfare and not the same quality as Hiroshima.

This BBC article talks about Hiroshima and you can see some pictures of the devastation. Devastation from an explosion throws things to the ground in a direction away from the blast. Destruction from bronze age warfare doesn't do that:
