I have posted the Ramayana Timeline verified by astronomical data.
To corroborate that further I shall be posting articles with Archelogical, Zoological evidence apart from references from Indian and Foreign literature.
After I posted on Ramayana Dateline, I have been asked to write on Mahabharata on similar lines.
This is a minefield.
One has to be remember that Ramayana had taken place in Treta Yuga while the Mahabharata took place in the Dwapara Yuga.
Treta Yuga lasted for 1,296,000 years and the duration of the Dvāpara-yuga is 864,000 years.
Mahabharata War took place towards the close of the Dwapara Yuga.
That is to say that the Ramayana and Mahabharata were separated by a minimum of 21,59000 Years.

All the twelve planets confirm their said positions on 16th October 5561 years B.C. along with two Amavasyas, two eclipses, Kshaya Paksha and a Comet. Thus, in all 18 mathematical positions fix the same date. Therefore, we have to accept this date of the Mahabharat War, if we want to be scientific. Please note that all the twelve planets will come in the same positions again only after 2229 crores of years. That means it will never happen again in the life of our earth, because life of the earth is only 400 crores of years. So the date of the Mahabharat War is pin-pointed as 16th October 5561 B.C..
The date of Ramayana is , the last recoded event for discusssion here, is ,
“Ravana is killed by Rama 15th November 7292 B.C.Rama returns to Ayodhya”
For Mahabharata,
Pandavas Going to forest 4th Sept. 5574 BC is the earliest event taken for discussion here. The dudifference between the last event of Ramayana and the first event of Mahabharata event is, 7292-/5574 is only 1718 years! So the difference between the last event of Ramayana and the first Mahabharata event is 7292-/5574. is 1718 Years! Now to confound further, 'Yet cross indexing the various Purans and the Astrological data supported by actual Astronomical phenomena like Rama‘s Birth chart,Eclipses during Ramayana andMahabharata forces one to the conclusion that Lord Rama’s Death preceded Lord Krishna’s only by 200 years." This anomaly can be answered only if one follows the concept of the theory of Cyclic Theory of Time. Even if we accept this, there is still the point of reconciling 200 years. But again, as Time calculation depends on the position of the observer, the dates mentioned and being proved n=by us might vary because our position differs from the recorded dates of Ramayana and Mahabharata.
