ONE of the world's earliest cities was destroyed 3,700 years ago in a nuclear war, an entrepreneur and conspiracy theorist has claimed.
First Class Space Agency CEO Billy Carson said the supposed existence of radioactive skeletons proved that a nuclear device was detonated.
The unorthodox scientist also claimed that civilisation on Earth was kick-started by a race of alien "gods", and that humans were genetically modified by aliens to believe in deities.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience , Billy said skeletons at Pakistan’s Mohenjo-Daro archaeological dig contained abnormally high levels of radiation and proved that a nuclear blast occurred.
He said: "The buildings [at the Mohenjo-Daro site] turned to glass, the sand turned to glass, and the bodies are still laying in the street right now today, holding hands, never been scavenged by animals.
"Dead bodies, still laying in the street, thousands of years later."

The ancient city in Pakistan's Sindh province, said to be one of the most important to the Indus civilisation between about 2500 to 1900 BC, was deserted some 3,700 years ago and rediscovered in the 1920s.
It was incredibly advanced with sophisticated civil engineering and urban planning.
The conspiracy theorist said the Harappan society which populated the area was even more advanced than academics accept today.
He claimed: "There's bodies that are sitting on the edge of steps next to their own buildings that they lived in, and the building has turned to glass."

Billy alleged that conventional archaeology had no explanation for the city's sudden destruction.
He believes the remains could only have been formed by "3,000C-temperature weapons fire" - akin to a nuclear fallout.
Given remains were found to be relatively complete and undisturbed, and did not show signs of injury consistent with swords or clubs, Billy claimed the civilisation could not have ended due to an explosive event triggered by an asteroid or meteor, as has been suggested.
Billy said: "Their bones would have been splattered apart and broken up into pieces.
"They don't have any evidence of any injury of any kind of attack or any cutting from swords or anything."
The space agency CEO said historical accounts recorded on tablets of the ancient Sumerian texts mentioned "an evil wind" that blew over the city, supporting his theory of a nuclear war.
It was his belief that an extraterrestrial race of giant humanoids - the "Annunaki" - landed in ancient Sumer with the goal to mine gold.
And he said the beings built a megalithic structure in South Africa, known as "Adam's Calendar", where carvings supposedly told of how they went to war.
He said the aliens were on the Earth from the beginning of time and manipulated humans to act as slaves and mine gold for them.
The "scientist" went on to claim that the aliens wanted gold to repair their own atmosphere.
Billy also alleged, in one of many wild claims, that the aliens manipulated human DNA to make them want to worship deities.
He professed: "They inserted something called a 'Worship Gene' which was just discovered recently.

"Human beings have a gene inside of them that can be turned on and turned off."
He added: "When it's off you don't want to worship anything outside of yourself, you look inside, and when it's on you look to get something from the outside."
Theory of 'ancient civilisation' widely debunked
MAINSTREAM science has widely debunked the theory that an advanced civilisation existed 12,000 years ago.
Some believe that long before ancient Mesopotamia, Babylonia, and Egypt, there was a civilisation that was wiped out by a comet strike.
The strike is alleged to have zapped all evidence of its existence except only the faintest of traces.
American science writer Michael Shermer said he was sceptical of the theory, as it was "inconceivable" that every last thing could be erased.
He wrote for in 2017: "From the origin of the universe (big bang), to the origin of the moon (big collision), to the origin of lunar craters (meteor strikes), to the demise of the dinosaurs (asteroid impact), to the numerous sudden downfalls of civilisations documented by Jared Diamond in his 2005 book Collapse, catastrophism is alive and well in mainstream science.
"The real magicians are the scientists who have worked this all out."
