<ol>WarDeaths.png</ol>So this is pretty fascinating. This man, Bibhu Dev Misra, (http://www.grahamhancock.com/forum/DMisraB6.php) has an alternate theory on the Yugas, based on older, more original sources. He bases them on the 3000 year cycles of the Saptarsi Calendar, and using the Mahabharata, puts the beginning of the last Dwapara Yuga, or Bronze Age, at 6676 BC. That puts the beginning of our current back-to-back Kali Yuga ("Iron Age") cycle at 3676 BC, with the border between the Descending and Ascending Kali Yugas at 676 BC. Now, if you compare that date to this chart from a separate source, you find something really interesting - War deaths per capita reached an almost exact peak in 676 BC. They were constantly ascending up to that point, and they have been constantly descending ever since. So when does the cycle end? According to Bibhu Dev Misra, there are transitional periods of 300 years that separate each 2700 year Yuga. The end of the Kali Yuga and the beginning of the next transition is slated for 2025. Very exciting stuff.
