1 Million Year Old Man Made Bridge Found In India!
NASA Images Find 1,750,000
Year Old Man-Made Bridge
The Hindustan Times


WASHINGTON (PTI) -- 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 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge´s age is also almost equivalent.

There is no fucking way that is NASA´s official statment. If they said something like that either I am in the wrong timeline or something huge has changed. I don´t think this is how they would begin disclosure.

Re: 1 Million Year Old Man Made Bridge Found In India!
i am from east indian descent(but not hindu),

just 2 DAYS AGO, i was talkin with my parents about the the manipulation going on etc. and the subject came to religions and ther (obivously) being truth to the myth and legends in some of them, and the chakra system,

and started talkin about hindu mythology and the story was that there was a guy Ram and his wife Sita, wh was kidnapped by a guy called Ravan, ravan was a demon/badguy, Ravan´s domain was Sri Lanka(former Ceylon) and he took Sita back to sri lanka, so the story goes that Ram along with others like this guy called Hanuman who was half monkey and half human, got help from these flying monkeys (think wizard of oz) and they helped build a bridge from india to sri lanka, (i´m paraphrasing, not doing the true story justice, anyone who knows please tell us the full story)

so here i am today and BOOM this posts just validates all the doubts i had about this manipulations extent.

think about it, convetnional, science darwinism says that we evolved from apes, but the timeline is that 1,000,000 years ago we woulve been nothin more than cro magnon CAVEMEN, how could we have the technology to build a bridge from india to sri lanka, UNLESS we have been lied to,

it is becoming more and more apparent to me every day that, there was definately extra terrestrial, or even an indigineous race of creatures that had a ´hand´ in evolving us from our ancestors to our current ´intelligence level´, a missing link that conventional science hasnt figured out yet(more like they dont want US to know)

crazy shit folks

Because Christian idiots, for the second time in history, are abondoning things like common sense and logic, in favor of their more colorful (in their opinin) fairy tales.

They think the entire earth was created by God 6,500 years ago. imean formt he illerate dolts of the pasts with no modern technologie it was at least understandable.

I never have been able to embrace such willful ignorance and blindness, just because it comforts yu. It´s atragic thing that´s happening in this country, when completely illogical nonsense is touted as truth.

This earth is 4.5 billion years old. Fucking get over it. They want our epoch to be the only one. If there were eons of peoples, from different cultures and they dissaperared, then we can also, and since Jesus is their little mscot in life, who talks to them on a daily basis, that CANNOT happen.

Wow, that´s really something. And the article is 3 years old at that!

I am really (Not?) suprised that more hasn´t been made out of this since then. If the Hindu legends are correct, than this bridge is a miracle in that it has no support structure. It would defy all known methods of bridge archetecture.

There should be dives, excavations, etc. Maybe there have been, but the news is kept to India. Don´t know.

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there were ancient civilizations who were advanced, and it validates the Hindu myths if it can be shown that the bridge is miraculous.

If we can accept the bridge, then we must also consider Vimyanas (flying discs) and the other fantastic stories contained in Hinduism (Including Nuclear War.)

...But before we get too excited, these people seem to want to pee on the parade a bit:

Adam’s Bridge across Palk Straits only 3,500 years old


The land bridge (shallow coral formation), popularly known as ‘Adam’s Bridge’ and reputed to be the remains of the bridge built by Lord Rama, is only 3,500 years old and not 1.7 million years old, according to the findings of the Centre for Remote Sensing (CRS) of Bharathidasan University, Tiruchi. A CRS team led by Dr S. M Ramasamy engaged in unraveling the geological processes that took place along the Tamil Nadu coast during the last 40,000 years has come up with starting facts.

A NASA satellite picture had brought the existence of a stretch of land bridge into sharper focus. According to mythology, the ‘bridge’ was built by Ramah 1.7 million years ago. But NASA didn’t give any credence to this claim. Some reports had mentioned that it was only a coral reef dating back to 1.7 million years. Historians, too, don’t subscribe to the claim linking this stretch with Ramayana. Besides the NASA pictures, those snapped by Indian Remote Sensing satellites also showed the Adam’s bridge, between Dhanushkodi in the west and Talaimannar in the east.

Detection of bundles of ancient beaches – between Thiruthuraipoondi and Kodiyakarai-in satellite pictures and carbon dating of such beaches showed that Thiruthurajpoondi beach dates back to 6,000 years and Kodiyakarai to 1,100 years.

This indicated that the sea was near Thiruthuraipoondi 6,000 years ago and reached Kodiyakarai around 1,100 years ago. The IRS satellite picture also showed that the beach at Thiruth uraipoon continued up to Ramanatha puram and further down to Thoothukudi, three km from Manamelkudi, 2.5 km west of Thondi and 3 km from Devipattinam.

Carbon dating of ancient beaches found west of Uchichipuli in Ramanath puram district put their age at 3,500 years. These were clear examples that the sea had receded from Thiruthurai poondi and Kodiyakarai as well as from Ramanathapuram to the west of Unhchipuli, around 3,500 years ago. The sea may have receded to Pamban only during this period.

Because of such divergent littoral currents, there remained a current shadow zone between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar and hence the sand brought by the currents had been dumped in a linear pattern in the current shadow zone. Corals might have accumulated over these linear sand bodies, later on Ramasamy said.

So the land bridge is only the sand, which had begun accumulating in the current shadow zone 3,500 years back, and continues to the present day. Therefore, the age of the Adam’s bridge could only be 3,500 years old, he asserted.

But, as the carbon dating of the beaches roughly matches with the dates of Ramayana, its linkage with Ramayana needs to the explored, Ramasamy said. One thing that must be appreciated is the knowledge of our ancestors on the land-ocean configuration, he added.

Re: 1 Million Year Old Man Made Bridge Found In India!
For far too long priests and preachers have completely ignored the vicious criminal acts that the Bible promotes. The so called “God” of the Bible makes Osama Bin Laden look like a Boy Scout. This God, according to the Bible, is directly responsible for many mass-murders, rapes, pillage, plunder, slavery, child abuse and killing, not to mention the killing of unborn children.

It always amazes me how many times this God orders the killing of innocent people even after the Ten Commandments said “Thou shall not kill”. For example, God kills 70,000 innocent people because David ordered a census of the people (1 Chronicles 21). God also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value (Deuteronomy 3). He orders another attack and the killing of “all the living creatures of the city: men and women, young, and old, as well as oxen sheep, and asses” (Joshua 6). In Judges 21, He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married. When they wanted more virgins, God told them to hide alongside the road and when they saw a girl they liked, kidnap her and forcibly rape her and make her your wife! Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

The God of the Bible also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11), child abuse (Judges 11:29-40 and Isaiah 13:16), and bashing babies against rocks (Hosea 13:16 & Psalms 137:9).

Well, I thought I would see what other opinions were out there regarding the bridge. I don´t trust when I get too hysterical and all "Gosh, Gee Whiz!" and need the other viewpoints.

A bridge of that sort, regardless if it´s 3600 or 1 million years old is still a remarkable accomplishment way beyond what people were supposed to be capable of.

I am *VERY* interested in ancient Hindu stories either way and I often wonder if they exaggerate their time-frames. I wish there were more of them available in English.

To put it in perspective this thing is as long as the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway; currently the longest bridge modern man has ever built. And this is in the ocean, the Lake Pontchartrain bridge is over calm water.
