Ok, I've studied Sanskrit (and the Egyptian Hieroglyphs for that matter, but far less so), and trust me when I say I am neither a physicist, a hindu nationalist, or a conspiracy theorist (check my comment history). I don't think the evidence being debunked in this article is very good however, there is such a vast quantity of highly destructive weapons described in ancient Indian and even ancient near-eastern texts (like the Epic of Gilgamesh) that we are really left with only two possibilities: either bronze-age people were very imaginative, or there really was this sort of ancient city of Atlantis type technologically advanced civilizations that collapsed during the bronze age and the peoples who came after them struggled to describe the scale of destruction in the stories that were passed down (there is a play based on this premise, Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play[0]). There's a lot we don't know about the ancient world but fortunately since we have such a wealth of Egyptian texts and evidence of material cultures, its far easier for us to separate the myths from their place in social life. But there is still a lot we don't know, and even if they are (very) fanciful I don't think it's fair to criticize people for coming to these far reaching conclusions unless, as argued in the article, the material they are working off of is partially or entirely fabricated. Even if its kind of crazy it does question established narratives of history, and I think there is some value there.
