Kumari Kandam?

                                                                  A MAP OF LEMURIA/KUMARI  KANDAM

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.
