"According to Indian mythology and customs, from the time of Lord Krishna we are burning crackers prepared from gunpowder.

The Mahabharat fight which was fought several centuries before involved weapons that were prepared from mercury and gunpowder and they are as powerful as nuclear weapons. American research institutes have conducted experiments and concluded this in the war areas and nothing grows in those areas. ".

Did you just use a mythology story as a scientific fact? It's like saying Greeks invented electricity because in their mythology Zeus can control lightning.

To create gunpowder you need to be really advance in chemistry. How is it possible to invent it "before involved weapons".

"Prepared from mercury and gunpowder and they are as powerful as nuclear weapons" - Good. World does not need nuclear energy anymore. All we need mercury and gunpowder to produce same amount of energy.

"American research institutes have conducted experiments and concluded this in the war areas and nothing grows in those areas. " - So if use an explosives with gunpowder, than nothing will grow on that land for more than 2500 years. Right. Because. Radiation?

Gunpowder was invented in China while alchemists attempted to create a potion of immortality.

Chinese military forces used gunpowder-based weapons (i.e. rockets, guns, cannons) and explosives (i.e. grenades and different types of bombs) against the Mongols when the Mongols attempted to invade and breach city fortifications on China's northern borders.

After the Mongols conquered China and founded the Yuan Dynasty, they used the Chinese gunpowder-based weapons technology in their attempted invasion of Japan; they also used gunpowder to fuel rockets.

Gun powder is used by Indians even before the birth of Jesus Christ. According to Indian mythology and customs, from the time of Lord Krishna we are burning crackers prepared from gunpowder. The Mahabharat fight which was fought several centuries before involved weapons that were prepared from mercury and gunpowder and they are as powerful as nuclear weapons. American research institutes have conducted experiments and concluded this in the war areas and nothing grows in those areas.
