What was happening in Europe during Ramayana and Mahabharat?

What was happening in Europe during Ramayana and Mahabharata? this is kind of weird question right.
but this actually makes sense that really what was happening there 

This is fascinating question. Yet it’s very tough to answer because of multiple aspects this question touches.

First and foremost thing here is whether Mahabharata and Ramayana really happened?

The important thing -if we want to validate whether Mahabharata and Ramayana really happened - is archeological evidences.

In case of Mahabharata, archaeologists may have found sunken city of Dwaraka which may give boost to the fact that Mahabharata really happened.

You can read it here:

Significant finds at Dwaraka

Lost city could "rewrite history"

Basically we need to know timelines of events in both these epics so as to know what was happening around the world when events Mahabharata or Ramayana were folding out.

Timeline of Mahabharata and Ramayana:

The timeline of Mahabharata/Ramayana is volatile topic. Many different people come up with different timelines for Mahabharata. In case of Mahabharata western scholars believe it happened in 1200 BC while Indian scholars believe it happened in 3100 BC.

But If we go by Hindu calendar then Ramayana happened in Treta Yuga and Mahabharata in Dwapara Yuga.

It is believed that Mahabharata happened at the very end of Dwapara yuga and Kali yuga started with the death of lord Sri Krishna. So if we go by this timeline then Mahabharata war happened in 3138 BC. So what was happening in Europe at this time?

Interconnection of different mythologies:

If we go by the description of events in Mahabharata, we can see that the India was very prosperous and scientifically advanced. And if we check what was happening in Europe in similar timeline then we can see that nothing much on this advanced level was happening in Europe. Why is such a dichotomy?

Well researchers like Eric von daniken may have answer to this. People who belong to school of thought like Eric von daniken believe that Mythologies around the world are connected in one way or other.

For example, in a book which is considered as scripture for Egyptian mythology ‘Egyptian myth and legends’ there is very perplexing thing mentioned - Ancient Egyptian king - Pharaoh Ramses’s maternal grandfather’s name was ‘Dashrath’. Isn’t it surprising?

Let’s go to Greek mythology now. In Greek Mythology there is one God named Zeus. Zeus is considered as King of Gods and if we look closely then Zeus resembles with Hindu king of Gods Indra. Like Zeus had thunderbolt as a weapon and Indra has Vajra which is again similar to thunderbolt.

In Greek mythology, there was legendary island of Atlantis which sank abruptly. Similarly in Mahabharata we had island city of Dwaraka which sank after Lord Krishna left earth.

Many people equate Mahabharata with Homer’s Iliad.

In Mahabharata, king Kalyavan attacked city of Dwaraka with the army of 3 million yavanas. It is believed that Kalyavana was Greek king. (Yavana= Greek)

In Ramayana, wife of king Dashratha, queen Kaikeyi was from Kekaya kingdom, some people believe that Kekaya was modern day Ukraine.

So if we go by this logic then we can say that Mahabharata war and Ramayana war were world wars. And so as to answer your question, ‘What was happening in Europe during Mahabharata and Ramayana?’ (Based on off course above mentioned hypothesis) Europe or kingdoms in Europe were also involved in them.

But all these theories are hypothesis i.e. don’t have evidences, so if we really want to know what was happening in Europe during Mahabharata and Ramayana then we will need time machine.

Thank you!
