Mahabaratham is one the best ever mythological story know, If you consider about a person that he/she be characterized already in that story.
True, Mahabharatham every character of human being in it. and also have all the life lessons a human should need. Mahabharatham and Ramayanam are my most favourite mythological tales.

More than that the magical things that mention there are proven as possible as new inventions.
I never know that the magical things were proven true.
