The Mahabharata: Exploring the Mysteries of the Past | Christopher Doyle | TEDxBITSPilani

In this TEDx talk delivered at BITS Pilani in January 2019, Christopher C. Doyle, an author known to transport his readers into fascinating worlds, explores secrets buried in ancient legends, giving accounts of science and history behind them.

Christopher dreamed of becoming a writer from an early age and achieved this dream with 'The Mahabharata Secret', which went on to become a huge bestseller. He also pursued a career in the corporate world, graduating from St. Stephens College, Delhi, with a degree in Economics and from IIM Calcutta, a degree in Business Management. He has written articles on management and business for Indian and international publications and is also a regularly invited speaker for international conventions and conferences.

This man.. Huge respects! I don't know if he's being persecuted by religious trads for doing this but the amount of insight he has for Mahabharat and the amount of time in his life he invested trying to find the facts relating to the historic and prehistoric world wide events to the epic in the name of great global civilization simply blows my mind..

[manjugupta]

He shows these things because most people consider mahabharata as a myth because science has not been able to explain these things also. And by showing these examples he wants to revive The Indian History.

How did those massive hewn stones get so precisely carved, and lifted to such great heights- all over the world? There is SO much mystery to be found on every continent, in every human tradition, and each new archeological discovery further challenges our thinking and understanding of ancient peoples and the times they lived in. Thank you Christopher Doyle for pulling so many pieces together, for filling our minds with wonder, for providing fresh understandings of old stories, and for deepening our appreciation of the mysteries of the past, in order to better know our present!

Been to India once, will never turn back to modern day upbringings in Australia. As I’m interested in ancient history, personally this great nation has many many mysteries and history intertwined yet to be solved.
Someday the truth will resurface like always 🔴🔥

I am fascinated about the ancient global civilization theory. Have read Graham Hancock's Magicians of the Gods and so many other books that converge on this theme. I truly believe it!

[pbm]

Okay. So 2 points comes out of this presentation:
1. There was a global civilisation that's now extinct.
2. If point 1 is true then Mahabharata, an epic that predates Ramayana, must be true as well (even if there might be an absence of archaeological evidence associated with the civilisation for which Mahabharata was a culturally important text).

[vasanthin]

His speech on the Mahabharata and today's sceincetific happenings are great it is true we cannot say where we have to go

[anushdsouza]

am i only one hearing it in 3D in hearphones

[arelmurmu]

I might be wrong.. But my theory is that all these gigantic monuments were built by human species but they were way larger in size than we are today... Because of evolution, and climate changes etc, humans became shorter and shorter and we're here today...

[nilanjanaghosh]

Mesmerizing, gave me thrill and goosebumps. Hat's off to your efforts sir.

[padmamohankumar]

Waiting eagerly to hear about the Mahabharat. Where does the epic come in all this ?

[narottamperfect]

❤️ I want to know many things from past

[yogisnursing-nest]

New thoughts and discovery 💡... the spark for the real history of human being

[abhaynandeshwar]

You should check your captions in english according to captions
Krishnaraja = Christian
Mahabharata = mob
Please check it.
Along with these there are many other mistaks in captions which should be corrected.

[evekiraga]

The White Goddess by Robert Graves also talks about the connection between the Greeks and the Druids. Why not the Vedics? Will def read his books!

[vidyadharphadke]

What you have researched about Mahabharata I don't know.. Coz what I have watched till today you always show the foreign spots which are on Youtube . No talk or info what you have Researched about Mahabharata . In this there's nothing about Mahabharata 01.00 to 15.37 then less than 2 min. reference of it then Why using Mahabharata title saying nothing, showing nothing provoking nothing . OK Atleast send me ONE link on youtube of your talk which is related with title . Not necessarily about Mahabharata anything you like me to Watch and listen. Thanks.

From looking at histories put forth, religions and myths through the world it seems that to me that a lot of our references of the past are likely written by people a people that didn't fully understand what they were seeing so made connections with what they new, nature. See someone step out-of a flying craft, then depict that as a bird man and so forth, And anyone who can fly, must be godly. I'm guessing we lived alongside (or below) a far greater race than what we were at the time

[tycngaming]

He said everything similar in two more Ted

[manjugupta]

He mostly tells.about only those things which we will be able to understand. If u want to to see to what he dedicated his whole life, read his books.

[hey_aspirant]

Why this vdo is seen by 1lakh people only... That's why some Liberal Hindus saying mahabharata a myth story
