"More recently, Archar (2003) has argued for a date of 3067 BC for the war described in the Mahaabhaarata He argues that the various astronomical events he has relied on to arrive at such a date must have been observed and could not have been back calculated by a clever astronomer to be interpolated into the text And, indeed, the different points that are brought together to indicate a date of 3067 BC for the Mahaabhaarata war are too scattered and partial to indicate just a remembered tradition, as Witzel has argued for Achar’s Śatapathabraahmana date His argument is indeed forceful, and I do not quite know what to make of it because it seems way too early"
