A groundbreaking archaeological discovery in southern
India has reignited debate over the origins of the Iron
Age, challenging long-held beliefs about early iron
production.

Stranger still, there appears to have been at least one nuclear
"accident" in India in those times.  Gets some mention(?) as
an event in the Vedas (an' mebbe Upanishads) possibly result
of placer concentration of beach deposits of Thorium. 
Unfortunately it can also happen without human effort:
