Mahabharata Fact file 1:
35 years after Mahabharatha war ended, Krishna left this world. At that very moment Kali Yuga began. Now we are completing 5122 Kali years by mesha samkramana in 2021. This works to 3101 BCE as Kali first year and 3136 BCE as the year of Mahabharata war

Mahabharata Fact file 2:
Pramathi was the year name of the first year of Kali Yuga. This is re-confirmed by Aryabhata's age at 3600 Kali years when Pramathi was running.
Krodhi was the year running 35 years before Kali Yuga began.
Therefore Mahabharatha war took place in Krodhi.

Mahabharata Fact file 3:

The exile of Pandavas started in Khara (3149 BCE) Dakshinayana, Ashadha Krishna Dasami with the moon at Rohini at sunrise

The exile ended in Krodhi year (3136 BCE), Dakshinayana, Ashadha Krishna Dasami with the moon at Krittika at sunrise. War in Krodhi

Mahabharata Fact file 4:

Abhimanyu's marriage was the first event after exile ended. Probable month, Shravana (Krodhi, 3136 BCE)

Krishna started on peace mission in Karthika Shukla Dwadasi in Revati.(Aug 25, 3136 BCE) No hint that the upcoming full moon in krittika was eclipsed

Mahabharata Fact file 5:

Krishna's peace trip lasted for 13 days starting from Karthika Revati to Karthika Uttara Phalguni when he left Hastinapur. Most of the strange sightings reported in Mahabharata at terrestrial, atmospheric and celestial spheres occured within this period.

Mahabharata Fact file 6:

Krishna reached Hastinapur the next day but by then a natural calamity had struck a vast region from Sindhu to Ganga rattling Hastinapur from South west direction, causing fires, earth tremors, raising dust, forcing river waters reverse from east to west

Mahabharata Fact file 7:

Krishna's mission failed. Duryodhana prepared to march his army and installed Bhishma as it's chief on Karthika Pushya. At that time a comet (dhumaketu) struck, causing meteorite showers, whirlwinds, tremors etc hampering the march
Date 2nd Sep, 3136 BCE

Mahabharata Fact file 8:

Frequent meteorite showers were felt till Krishna left on Karthika UttaraPhalguni. The 13 day impact is similar to the crash of comet Shoemaker-Levy on Jupiter in 1994.
The discussion between Karna and Krishna shows that the moon was simultaneously hit

Mahabharata Fact file 9:

1st riddle of Mbh in Karna- Krishna dialogue.
Karna referred to Gara karana (1/2 of tithi) on Citra. But Krishna expected Amawasya in Jyeshtha.
Gara in Citra brings Amawasya in Vishakha, not Jyeshtha. Means Amawasya advanced to Trayodasi.Why he said so?

Mahabharata Fact file 10:

The implied Trayodasi tithi - Amawasya in Karna's talk finds an echo in Vyasa's version to Dhritharashtra that the never- heard-of Amawasya in Trayodasi occurred causing shock & anguish. This unusual Amawasya heralded Bodhayana Amawasya concept later.

Mahabharata Fact file 11:

2nd riddle of Mbh in Karna's talk.
'Somasya lakshma vyavrittam' - the mark on the moon became separated or parted with.
The same repeated by Vyasa to Dhritharashtra.
What did they see on the waning moon that is full of marks? Did a fresh mark appear?

Mahabharata Fact file 12:

3rd riddle of Mbh in Karna's talk -retrogression of Mars in Scorpio in Karthika month when the sun also was in Scorpio or closeby.
Mars, the outer planet cannot retrograde near the sun. Karna was appalled seeing Mars move backward. How did it happen?

Mahabharata Fact file 13:

4th riddle:
Full moon occurs in Krittika in Karthika month. It went on peacefully soon after Krishna started off from Upaplavya.
Then what did Vyasa mean by watching day &night the kshaya of Fullmoon in Krittika? Fullmoon in krittika seen in Margashira?

Mahabharata Fact file 14:

The 4 riddles point to a cosmic impact on a Pushya day when the moon was jolted from its path on being hit by a comet. This caused change in moon's speed and orbit by which Amawasya advanced and Fullmoon occured on the same star krittika in Margashira.

Mahabharata Fact file 15:

The comet hit suggested by Mbh is supported by 'Piora Oscillation' - the sudden cooling & change in weather that scientists attribute to a cosmic impact around 3200 BCE. Mbh points to 3136 BCE. Mohenjo-Daro in Jayadratha's region had taken a hit.

Mahabharata Fact file 16:

The comet that impacted the moon on a Pushya day had landed on the earth as fragments across Europe and Himalayas. The depression near Caspian sea is attributed to comet strike. Detected in Belfast tree ring, acid spike in Greenland ice core and more.

Mahabharata Fact file 17:

The comet- hit on the evening of 2nd Sep 3136 BCE, caused momentary change in refractive index causing 4 odd sightings.
1. Dhruva moved in reverse.
2. Mars moved in reverse when sun was near.
3. 2 planets rose up with red crest.
4. Arundhati shifted.

Mahabharata Fact file 18:

The cosmic impact on Pushya day seemed to have upset Duryodhana's plans who appointed Bhishma as the chief on that day.
Known from the fact that Krishna told Karna to prepare on upcoming Anawasya on Jyeshtha. But that Amawasya came earlier on Trayodasi
