Mahabharata... Bhima

Mahabharata is the ancient history of the world. We understand from Mahabharata that at one time there was one ruler for the entire planet. Approximately 5000 years ago there was a world war in which civilization as it had been for thousands and thousands of years was ended. All the rulers of the world were killed in the battle and the planet was left in disarray. Much like we see it is today. There is much to be learned from Mahabharata and it is fascinating reading.
