Present research evidence

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.
