Well, did the civilization that produced the text possess a elaborate and accurate grasp on and interest in astronomy, as far back as 2922 years ago?
And to date the war, one must operate under the assumption that it was an historical event, and shouldn't rather be understood as a part of vedic mythology

Reply to comment by truthlieswork in Has PTSD due to trauma and/or violence affected humans for centuries or is this a more recent phenomenon? Have there always been long-term effects when an individual experiences trauma and/or violence? by shooflydont
>And as for long-term effects, humans used to live to an average age of 35. By 1900 this was up to 46. Now it’s 70-75.
I totally think most of what you wrote is true, but those numbers are mostly due to high infant mortality

Used to love them, but their new more rock focused direction really doesn't do it for me
