Do High Radiation Levels in Ancient Skeletons Support Theory Nuclear War Wiped Out Advanced Society 4,000 Years Ago?

A fringe-thinking scientist claims that a nuclear war occurred 4,000 years ago and that humans were genetically engineered by aliens to believe in deities.

Billy Carson, a conspiracy theorist, shared these claims during a recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast, as reported by Knewz.com.

Carson suggested that some skeletons at the Mohenjo-Daro archaeological site in Pakistan exhibit unusually high levels of radiation.

In a video posted on YouTube, Carson, who graduated from MIT, stated, "The buildings [at the Mohenjo-Daro site] turned to glass, the sand turned to glass and the bodies are still lying in the street right now," referring to the ruins believed to be the largest civilization of its time.

The region was inhabited by the Harappan civilization, which surpassed other early societies in size, such as Egypt, Mesopotamia and China.

Carson further claimed that this society, considered the most advanced of its time, was even more sophisticated than current academic circles acknowledge.

"There’s bodies that are sitting on the edge of steps next to their own buildings that they lived in, and the building has turned to glass," he asserted.

He went on to claim that the people of this region were killed by "3,000°F [...] weapons fire," similar to a nuclear fallout.

Carson dismissed the idea that the civilization ended due to an asteroid or meteor impact, like the 1908 event in Russia's Krasnoyarsk Krai described on EarthSky.

"Their bones would have been splattered apart and broken up into pieces," he argued. "They don't have any evidence of any injury of any kind of attack or any cutting from swords or anything," he reiterated.

Carson also mentioned "an evil wind" that blew over the city, as recorded in ancient Sumerian texts, to support his nuclear war theory.

He pointed to a megalithic structure in South Africa known as "Adam's Calendar," claiming that carvings on this ruin depict a war waged by these alleged alien beings.

Carson's theory parallels David Icke's ideas, suggesting that aliens have been on Earth since the beginning of time, manipulating humans into subservience before enslaving them to mine gold. According to Carson, this gold was part of a larger plan for the aliens to repair their own atmosphere.

"They inserted something called a 'Worship Gene,' which was just discovered recently. Human beings have a gene inside of them that can be turned on and turned off," Carson claimed. "It can be turned off in a laboratory setting, and it can also be turned off with a magnetic field around your head. When it's off, you don't want to worship anything outside of yourself; you look inside, and when it's on, you look to get something from the outside."
