: A scientist at the Indian Institute of Science here has claimed to have found the period of the Mahabharat to be between 1493 B.C. and 1443 B.C. based on eclipses and planetary observations made in six printed versions of the epic.

The "Archaeo-Astronomy" claims have disputed the earlier known dates of the event in Dwapara Yuga based on historical and archaeological evidence as between 3100 B.C. to 3000 B.C.

"The eclipses and planetary observations of the Mahabharat should belong to 1493 B.C. to 1443 B.C. of Indian history," IISc department of civil engineering Prof. R. Narayana Iyengar said here on Sunday.

"The 23-day Kurukshetra war between Kauravas and Pandavas should have taken place in 1478 B.C.
