RESEARCH

 

Present research evidence

 

  BHAGAVATA-PURANA, 10^TH SKANDA.

Prof. Lewis Ashwal of WITS University, South Africa researched coastal areas of Mauritius and found stones that are about 3 crore years old. The findings show that these were parts of a landmass that were earlier on the Indian Ocean and that the landmass submerged due to a tectonic movement 20000 years ago. Research in 1970 also says that there had been 3 huge tsunamis in the ancient period about 15000 years ago, 12000 years ago and 8000 years ago respectively.

 

The average depth of the Indian Ocean is 4 kilometers. But in some places, it is only about 2 kilometers. For about 300 km of surroundings from Kanyakumari, the sea is no deeper than 0.6 kilometers, which proves that a landmass had existed earlier.

Graham Hancock, British journalist has researched on Tamil Nadu coastal areas and had said that the civilization of Poompuhar was about 11,000 years old. He adds that it is surprising that no steps are taken for archaeological research and that the land is left unconsidered. 

 

All these theories can only be proven or disproved only if research is done in these areas. Being a developing country, India may not be able to fund such projects. But in the future, research must be done to bring out many hidden truths which can change the history that we’re presently believing in. It’s our responsibility to share the word to future generations.

There is a lot of literary evidence about Kumari Kandam in the ancient Tamil scripts. Though most of these had been lost and destroyed, a few remain and they have mentions of this ancient land. A poem from the oldest existing epic ‘Silappadhigaram’,

This poem mentions that ‘ since the southern regions consisting of River Fahruli and many mountains like Kumarikkodu had been submerged in the sea, you’ve conquered the northern Himalayas and Ganges, great Pandya! Long live theel.

 

This mentions that the Kumari Kandam had many mountains namely Kumarikkodu and river Fahruli. Another poem of the Silappadhigaram mentions the submerging of the Pandya capital Kabadapuram, which was a part of Kumari Kandam. From this, it is evident that Kumari Kandam was ruled by the Tamil kings namely the Pandyas. The submerging of Lemuria is also mentioned in ‘Radhavali’ Buddhist literature. Evidence of Kapadapuram are also found in the Ramayana.

 

In 1941, K. Appadurai has written a book, Kumari Kandam alladhu kadal konda thennadu wherein he mentions the findings of his research. Taking into accounts the literature, there were 49 countries including 7 thenga naadu , 7 Madurai naadu , 7 munpaalai naadu , 7 pinpaalai naadu , 7 kundra naadu , 7 kunakarai naadu , 7 kurum panai naadu .

 

Also, the word kodu  means mountain and Kumarikkodu was a mountain region. One can still see names like ,  Adhankodu in regions of Kanyakumari. These are considered as remains of Kumari Kandam.

 

From all these literary evidence we can see that the language used was Tamil. Aborigines of Australia and African tribes, still use Tamil words in their language. Also, genetic research shows striking similarities between people of these regions. Flora and fauna of these regions are also found to be similar. The results show that these lands were once part of the same region, supporting the theory of Lemuria. According to the plate tectonic movement, which is scientifically accepted, all the continents were once we’re on the same tectonic plate. Such theories are valid proof of the existence of a landmass like Lemuria.

Lemuria – Kumari kandam – A Mystery Unsolved

 

   Lemuria– a submerged land that is known to be the cradle of human civilization. There are a lot of questions and theories about Lemuria and its people. This article is just to put forward the facts and findings and evidence that shows that the people of Lemuria were Tamils. 

 

Why the name ‘Lemuria’? 

  In 1864, Philip Sclater, zoologist, and biogeographer discovered fossils of lemurs in India. Lemurs were an ancient monkey species, existing earlier than gorilla and chimpanzee species. They are species endemic to Madagascar. According to Darwin’s theory, if a species is found to exist at two different parts of the world, they should’ve existed together at earlier times. Due to earthquakes and other disasters, the land where they lived should have been destroyed and so they must have migrated to different places. Considering this, Sclater proposed that a landmass existed connecting India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and extending from Africa to Australia. He named it Lemuria.

AN OVERVIEW ABOUT "KUMARI KANDAM"

 

 

The truth behind the continent of the “Kumari Kandam”. India is a country of many bizarre and incredible things. From one of the oldest civilizations in the world to the most powerful kingdoms; its history is brimmed with rich culture and scientific inventions which have shaped the world as we know it. However, there are still some mysteries revolving around our country which we are digging for answers for even in modern times. India, as we see it today, was not always like this. A billion years ago, its surface looked quite different, and not just India but the whole world looked different. Most of the countries we know today did not even exist, instead, they were all combined in a landmass called Pangaea. Around 200 million years ago, there was a moment in the tectonic plates that created continental drifts and broke the Pangaea into two new continents, Laurasia and Gondwanaland. This in result let to the formation of mountains, submerged lands, volcano eruption, earthquakes, and tsunamis with this, many life forms and landmasses came into existence and vanished over some time.

 Today, we will get some knowledge about one such landmass which lost its presence in the Indian Ocean. In ancient times since Plato gave the theory of the lost city of Atlantis, scholars from different countries started to believe that there are still some undiscovered cities similar to Atlantis. As a result, several theories and discoveries took place to claim the lost cities and nations.

In the 15th century, some Tamil scholars revealed that a whole continent known as “Kumari Kandam” or “Lemuria” was submerged in the Indian Ocean due to the rising sea levels after the last ice age ended. The mythical continent is said to have existed in the South of Modern-Day India and is located below the Indian Ocean. Tamil people consider “Kumari Kandam” as their lost home continent. According to them, the now-drowned “Kumari Kandam” was ruled by Pandiyan Kings for over 10,000 years; making it the oldest civilization on the planet. At that time the land was divided into 49 Nadu or territories: thus are Seven Coconut Territories, Seven Madurai Territories, Seven Old Sandy Territories, Seven New Sandy Territories, Seven Mountains Territories, Seven Eastern Coastal Territories, And Seven Dwarf-Palm Territories; but when the continent started drowning due to rise in sea level the Tamil of this continent migrated to other parts of Africa, India, and Sri Lanka and mixed with other groups, leading to the formation of new races, languages, and civilization. This is how the Tamilians claimed entire humanity is descended from the inhabitants of “Kumari Kandam”.

According to their belief, it is the cradle of civilization, the place where everything started. However, the word “Kumari Kandam” was first mentioned in a 15t-century version of the ‘Skanda Purana’- the largest ‘Mahapurana’ which was written by Kachiappa Sivacharaya. It is described as the kingdom of the earth in the ‘Andakosappadalam’ section of ‘Kanda Puranam’.

In the 19th century European geologist Philip Lutely Sclater came up with a new term for “Kumari Kandam”. He called it “Lemuria” as a way to explain the migration of Madagascar Lemurs to India. In his 'Theory of a Landmass', he said the continent was extended from Africa to Asia agreeing to the Tamil nationalist belief but all these theories and research, do they have any truth in them, or they are just a myth?

According to researchers at India's National Institute Of Oceanography about 14, 500 years ago, the sea level was lower by 100 meters and about 10, 000 years ago it was 60 meters low. This study strongly suggests that there was once a land bridge connecting the island of Sri Lanka to mainland India; one piece of evidence can be found in the contemporary times which support the existence of “Kumari Kandam”, is 1.7 million-year-old artificial Adam's bridge in the Palk Strait, in the Indian Ocean also known as ‘Rama's Bridge’ but this lone evidence is not enough to prove the existence of such a civilization for years, many researchers and geologist have looked for answers and proof behind the lost continent, but apart from its mention in Hindu scriptures, no one could prove anything on a larger scale.

However, in the future, if anything related to this vast civilization is proven, it would mean that the treasure of our knowledge is deeply rooted in the depths of the sea and there is so much we still don't know about our planet. So this was the mysterious tale of the great “Kumari Kandam”.
