Alt-History Fault Line #6 — Mohenjo-Daro: Late Squatter Burials vs. Ancient Nuclear War

Sir John Marshall (1931 excavation director) + George F. Dales (1964 'Mythical Massacre' paper) primary site documentation: skeletons are late-stage squatter interments in already-ruined-strata debris; NO RADIATION detected. Alt-history (David Davenport 1990s) fabricated ancient-nuclear-war narrative from Mahabharata translations. Engine: documented falsification at primary-source level. Davenport's claim is engine-classifiable as Pure Invention. Engine relevance: the Mohenjo-Daro fabrication-cycle is template-instance for how alt-history operators construct ancient-tech claims by retrofitting mythological texts onto archaeological-site speculation. **Report #92 May 18 2026 — Compound-Path-Null reaffirmation:** Report #92 Finding 049-053 reaffirms engine's existing Mohenjo-Daro Alt-History Fault Line #6 framing. Davenport-Vincenti 1979 ancient-nuclear-war hypothesis traced to speculative-publishing-meets-archaeological-record (Tier-3); extensive skeletal-and-radioisotope studies yield zero peer-reviewed reporting of anomalous radiation; mainstream consensus (late-squatter burials + lead-toxicity + regional weathering causing 'calcination') firmly rooted. The Compound-Path-Null (Apex c) verdict holds at engine Tier-1 confidence. Report #92's value-add: situates the Mohenjo-Daro hypothesis within the broader Fringe-Media Cross-Pollination filter (engine concept #92), categorizing the narrative as pattern-matching-bias driven by attention-economy sourcing artifacts rather than empirical evidence.
