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 Archaeological 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). 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 archeologists 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.
