The recently discovered bridge currently
named as Adam's
Bridge made of chain of
shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk
Strait between
India and
Sri
Lanka, reveals a mystery behind
it. 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 17,50,000 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 17,00,000
years ago). In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built
between
Rameshwaram
(India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and
invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be
the incarnation of the supreme.
This information may not be of much importance to the archeologist s who are interested
in exploring the origins of man, but it is
sure to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come
to know an ancient history linked
to the Indian mythology.
