About The Book

"Our Ancestors and Their Science" by renowned scholar Niranjan Ghate is an intriguing exploration of the hidden scientific knowledge of ancient civilizations, particularly focusing on Indian heritage. Challenging conventional skepticism, this book boldly examines whether our ancestors were far more scientifically advanced than typically acknowledged.

Ghate presents compelling discussions on topics that often come up in science lectures and debates—the Bermuda Triangle, the power of pyramids, atom bombs in ancient texts, aircraft in the Mahabharata, and the theory of extraterrestrial visitors. Rather than dismissing these as mere myths, he encourages scientific curiosity supported by archaeological and historical evidence, referring to studies by Egyptologists, archaeologists, and other experts.

The book draws on the works of global researchers, including George Adamski, while integrating findings from excavations and historical texts. Ghate critically connects the scientific practices of ancient India to modern developments, revealing how much was already known in fields such as:

• Plastic surgery and brain surgery

• Anesthesia techniques

• Use of artificial organs and dental prosthetics

• Personal hygiene and reproductive health appliances

• Evolution and migration of flora and fauna

• Ancient sports and evidence of match-fixing in Greek culture

• Cross-continental ties between India, Africa, and early America

• Astronomical studies of Omar Khayyam and Al-Biruni (Arberuni)

The author’s scientific background (M.Sc. in Geology) and his extensive editorial and research experience shine throughout the narrative. With over 97 published works and 28 books with Mehta Publishing House, Niranjan Ghate is a trusted voice in science literature in both Marathi and English.
