adjusted knowledge
Ancient people had to resort to symbols to refer to things existing now which were not existing then. For example, all the weapons purportedly used in Mahabharata War actually exist now. Hence that Mahabharata War has never happened, but it is yet to happen, in our time. Because people reportedly to have been killed in Mahabharata War is much more than India's present population. Hence Indian Epic called Mahabharata is prophetic of our time!
