Short evolving thread on assumptions made by researchers:
It’s a Saturday so start with Saturn first:

For 3067BCE, one need not say “I won’t take planetary positions into account because the year I chose does not permit it”

Any astronomer/Jyotishi will tell you that since Saturn is the slowest moving of all planets, we must take it’s position into account.
What happens if someone says that “No the planetary positions don’t matter?”
Ans: The theory collapses!

How many verses does an astronomer need to ignore to say that “We won’t take planetary positions into account and we will just ignore Mahabharata evidence of Yuddha starting after Kaliyuga started?”
Ans: Umpteen verses ARE ignored.
If ignored, this is “belief” and NOT “science”

Now, if astronomers decide to ignore Axial Precession also and follows a model which propagates that the Sun and planets revolve around the Earth, then what should we call the theory?

You decide. It’s not scientific and it’s not real and It’s not fact in that case.

As I said earlier, plucking a date from the sky and then just saying that the war must occur in that year is unfortunately not going to cut it.
That’s basically an assumption based, non reproducible model for Mahabharata
