NASA digital images discover ancient "Ramayana" bridge between India, Lanka
PTI
Washington, October 09 2002

The NASA Shuttle has imaged a mysterious ancient bridge between India and Sri Lanka, as mentioned in the Ramayana.

The evidence, say experts matter-of-factly, is in the Digital Image Collection.

The recently discovered bridge, currently named as Adam's Bridge and made of a chain of shoals, 30 km long, in the Palk Straits 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. Legend as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age, about 17,50,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent.

"I note that 17,500 years ago was during the last ice age -- ocean levels would have been lower."

Check the map in post #19.

The sea level at the height of the last ice age was about 380 feet lower than today.

Then, the land bridges between continents were broad and high. All the British Isles were part of contiguous Europe. The Alaska-Siberia bridge was hundreds of miles wide, not a narrow straight.

The Atlantic coast of America was a hundred miles into what is now the ocean.

So, it is no wonder at all that Sri Lanka was joined with India at that time. Quite natural.

Yup. No Persian Gulf and a landlocked Red Sea. I also suspect that the Gulf of Mexico was 'blocked off' from the world's oceans, as was the Black Sea.

The Hoax Of The NASA Bridge
THE recent story of NASA discovering a “mysterious 1.75 million year ancient bridge” is now clearly exposed as a deliberate fraud by Hindu fundamentalists. It was initially propagated by Vaishnava News Network an ISKON web site and was promptly hailed as a scientific proof of Ramayana by Hindutva internet sites. Not much notice would have been taken of such claims, which are after all periodic in the Hindutva sites, if PTI and television channels had not picked up the story. Finally, the fraud was exposed: NASA clarified that its pictures were neither mysterious nor new. These pictures, taken from space borne cameras of the 30 kms long sandbanks, have been around for more than six years and most certainly NASA did not certify them as man-made.

That would be 1.75 million. Here's a different link to a parallel article:

Is that 17 million or 1.7 million years ago? Anyhow, there weren't any "humans" back then.

You haven't read Forbidden Archeology, have you.

Guys you can find more information about this thing from this site. Whatever stated is true in this article, it is true that time is not staying it has been moving on it’s own, what we know about past is very less and beyond our imagination. Hindu dharma has explained alot about past and preserved most of the things. Rmayana is a part in protecting humans from devils on earth. It is difficult to believe that once upon time there is evil on earth. How you can understand by searching differetn things. I am just giving ancient history of INDIA. Through this website. It need more than English language to understand. If interested than try your best in understanding what happened in time.
