Ancestors Smart, Us - Not so much. Amish is convinced. Are you?

A lot of people question if one person wrote the Mahabharata. Maybe, Maybe Not. But the critical question is whether something so complex can ever be written in the modern era irrespective of the number of people used. For those amazed by the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, remember that the Mahabharata is roughly 7X the length of the Iliad and Odyssey combined and 15X the length of the Christian Bible. Amish conducted a pop quiz, asking us the number of Indian manuscripts in existence. We failed miserably. And the number is astounding, especially when we compare it with other ancient civilisations and realise that 95% of these manuscripts are waiting to be deciphered. Imagine the wealth of knowledge just waiting to be rediscovered. That could be the tech project of the century. Any takers? Send us your feedback at 3TB@unblox.com. Learn more about your ad choices.
