Bhimbetka

We have already seen that Bhimbetka’s prehistoric cave art timeline goes till 30~35,000 BCE, 37,000 BP. Those art have Horses, Wheels and Chariots with Lance hurlers, bow and arrows, axe, ropes, many animals including giraffe etc in them.

Khambat

In the Gulf of Cambay civilization attempts already appear to have been made in experimental pottery making. These are seen from effects of fired clays (for making pottery), which gave ages of 20130 ± 2170 BP (Location 21 o 13.720’ N; 72 o 26.190’ E) and 16600 ± 1150 BP (Location 21 o13.80 ‘N; 72 o 26.10 E), by OSL as determined by the Oxford University dating lab.

In the Gulf of Cambay a variety of microlithic tools have been obtained in continuation of late palaeolithic tools. The presence of highly evolved experimental pottery from 13000 BP, organized living, sedentary well planned habitation, advanced sanitary and town planning activities in the southern metropolis indicates that it had developed to be a established civilization from about 13000 BP. Already there were evidences for control of fire, making pottery etc. from about 16840 BP. The southern metropolis so far has provided datable objects up to 8500 BP.

However strong evidence supports the presence of humans from at least 31000 BP who were evolving and developing and formed a great hitherto unknown civilization that were submerged by the flood, giving credence to local and global flood myths.

(Report by BADRINARYAN BADRINARYAN, chief geologist with the scientific team from the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) responsible for the underwater surveys in the Gulf of Cambay.)

The Folk song of Kutch

The folk songs in local Kachchi dialogue, mention about 4 major towns of ancient past. Three of these have been identified as Mohenjadaro, Harappa and Dholavira. Obviously the fourth one and the biggest of them all and oldest is the Gulf of Cambay metropolis.

Taittiriya Brahmana

The evidence of Vernal equinox in Uttaraphalguni from Taittiriya Brahmana takes it back to 10,000 BCE. The text of Taittiriya Brahmana also solves the mystery of Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere

Ramayana

Ramayana has already been dated in the range of 12000~13000 BCE, exact dating has been done to 12209 BCE for Rama Ravana Yuddha( Nilesh Oak et al). Rupa Bhaty et al has already shown two pole star condition existed during Ramayana times. Such two pole star conditions were also prevalent during Suryasiddhanta’s time( Rupa Bhaty and Nilesh Oak et al). Suryasiddhanta itself was edited and persevered with new correction by Mayasura which is self evident from the texts of Suryasiddhanta. The same Mayasura was proficient in city planning and has given Mayamata, architectural treaties.

Parasharatantra

The story of Agastya crossing south of Vindhya (Parasharatantra) is a story of Canopus crossing Vindhya latitude during 19000 BCE (Rupa Bhaty et al). The paper dealt with the refutal to Shri KD Abhyankar’s claim that Canopus was not visible from any part of India before 10,000 BCE.

Rigveda

By now we are well versed that the mightiest river Saraswati eulogized in Rig veda cannot be later to 22,000 BCE (singh et al). Later emergence of Sindhu’s and Ganga’s eulogization is also noted in RV. Apart from the river analogy we find that there is a mention of Rishi Agastya, He is mantra drashta also and has been praised in the mantra also. He is identified with Star Canopus in Astronomy treaties books including Suryasiddhanta (dated as from 12000 BCE, latest). Rigveda has the word Agastya, which can only be formulated when it had contended in the first hand as a pole star and can date from 39,000 BCE in RV. In the latest finds of Arakshya, son of Riksha and contemporary of King Trasadasyu of Rigveda gives us a lower limit of 50,000 BCE. We are just at a nascent stage of understanding archeoastronomy, archeology, geography, river morphology, oceanography, anthropology, lithic culture and diachronicity of the ante-words and their patterns of holding information in Rigveda.
