The vedic civilization according to the vedas and other vedic scripts must have been highly civilised and scientific than most of us today!
what does the word veda really mean, veda is a sanskrit word which means knowledge!
We consider ourselves as the advanced civilisation since the the evolution of the mankind, but the people belonging to the era of the vedas were more advanced than we could even imagine.
There was a detailed study and research in vedas which was held in Mumbai or bombay on 1975.
there they found alot of shocking secrets in vedas,
they found the vivid description of subatomic level in the vedas which was written 5000 years ago!! which we now in the modern world knows only 100's of year back!!
It is stated in the Bhagavata Purana:

It is stated in the Bhagavata Purana:
maitreya uvāca
caramah sad- visesanam
aneko 'samyutah sada'
paramanuuh sa vijneyo nrnam
aikya- bhramo yatah
which means,
" The material manifestation's ultimate particle, which is indivisible and not formed into a body, is called the atom - Param anuh. It exists always as an invisible identity, even after the dissolution of all forms. The material body is but a combination os such atoms, but it is misunderstood by the common man." (Bhagavata Purana 3.11.1)
In Bhagavata purana itself the time scales of different era are explained, starting with the atomic. The theory of relativity and quantum physics can be substantially supplemented by information from the sanskrit texts. They were well aware of such concepts as superconductivity, nuclear and plasma weapons.
We have all read mahabaratha and how many of us know the usage of nuclear weapons in it! If you would have known then, krukshetra war is the power armed war you could ever imagine! The usage of the nuclear weapons in mahabaratha are described as the follows:
"It was as if all the nature's force have been suddenly unleashed. something dazzling like the sun revolved in circles. Burned with the heat of this weapon, the world was straggering as in fever"
The picture above is the modern age nuclear bomb blast! can you relate it with the above words?
And in section 1 of the Mausula parva the following is mentioned:
"It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death,, which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishis and the Andhakas"
There are also account in which the weapons used the nature's energy! was it an renewable source kind? Or some kind of hybrid theories!!
"... He (vasudeva) contracted brahmastra with another brahmastra, and the air weapon- with the mountain weapon".
There are also account of various complex machinaries that can have unlimited possibilites...
For instance, the Bhoja, It is a lightwood aircraft, which looked like a bird with two wings. The driving force was generated from the fire chamber with mercury, installed on it! The flapping of the wings do cause the machine to fly too...
They have also said about the devices of the second category which resembles the mordern ufo's. The main work which includes the classification of ships of all kinds, is called vimanika-shastra. They reveal all sorts of technologies which we use today in our day to day life, such as telephone and televions.
We have always imagined our ancestors as an ape-man with leaves attire, totally uncivilised, dont even think about it! the vedas have a surprise for you :
" I have heard that visvavasu, the great Gandharva, his mind stupefied with infatuation, fell from svad vimanat after seeing your daughter playing with a ball on the roof of the palace 'harmya-prishthe', for she was indeed beautiful with her tinkling ankle bells and eyes moving to and fro". (Bhagavata purana 3.22.17)
now stop colaborating the girl and the ape, The talk is about the skyscrapers!! The word "harmya-prishthe", the literal transalation of the word "harmya" means a very high palace!
and the word swad vimanat means his airplane! (this guy's got a private airplane some thousands of year ago).
There were even flying cities, let's take a look at Hastinapura- a moving city, it was a powerful armed city and protected against the external enemies!!
There are so many machines, logics and theories in the vedas... This is more than enough for the contribution of the science, mathematics and engineering in the mordern era! When Heisenberg and bohr were busy reading the vedic texts and studying quantum physics, We indians were fighting on the caste, relegion, varna etc. We always dont take in the positive stuff, do we?? There lot more to get enlightened with (:
