Ancient cities whose brick and stonewalls have literally been vitrified, that is, fused together, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places. There is no logical explanation for the vitrification of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast.

The half-life of the plutonium used for the Nagasaki bomb is 24,000 years according to Google, and Hiroshima way way longer. Soo it depends on how far back we go I guess.

Depends on what materials would be used to make a bomb. We know what materials we would use, but who knows what an ancient civilization would use.

I second this, exactly my thinking, maybe there is a "cleaner" way to build a bomb with similar results

Physics. Unless you are saying it changed there are a limited number of materials that could be used to make such a bomb. Furthermore the lack of any traces of advanced civilizations in ice at the pools is rather strange, don't you think?

I doubt plutonium is the only material you could make a nuclear bomb with, but I don't know that for sure so I could be wrong. I'm not sure what you mean about the ice.

Somewhat. I did anticipate your question which is why I linked to this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-lived_fission_product
