Look at those pix!




Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam´s Bridge is made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.

The bridge´s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge´s age is also almost equivalent.

This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in tredha yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).

1. Thanks for this post!

I needed the distraction and it is very interesting to find links to our past.

K & R just because.

2. Check out this book on how modern humans expanded beyond Africa

The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey - by Spencer Wells

Goes into pretty good detail about genetic markers throughout the world and how the paths taken by early travelers can be noted. This bridge could explain how modern humans expanded eastward out of Africa surprisingly quickly.
