    Default Ancient Indian texts mention Lemuria.

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths...-kandam-001941


    Most people are familiar with the story of Atlantis, the legendary sunken city as described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. Till this day, opinion is still divided as to whether this story should be understood literally or taken merely as a morality tale. Further east in the subcontinent of India is a similar tale, though it probably is less well known compared to that of Atlantis. This is the ‘lost continent’ of Lemuria, frequently connected to the legend of Kumari Kandam by speakers of the Tamil language.

    Ancient City Found in India, Irradiated from Atomic Blast

    We know very little of history, so much distortion and misleading information.
    I have no doubt that there was a human civilisation on Earth long ago that was possibly more advanced than this one.
    Chris



    Radiation still so intense, the area is highly dangerous. A heavy layer of radioactive ash in Rajasthan, India, covers a three-square mile area, ten miles west of Jodhpur. Scientists are investigating the site, where a housing development was being built.

    For some time it has been established that there is a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area under construction. The levels of radiation there have registered so high on investigators' gauges that the Indian government has now cordoned off the region. Scientists have unearthed an ancient city where evidence shows an atomic blast dating back thousands of years, from 8,000 to 12,000 years, destroyed most of the buildings and probably a half-million people. One researcher estimates that the nuclear bomb used was about the size of the ones dropped on Japan in 1945.

    The Mahabharata clearly describes a catastrophic blast that rocked the continent.

    "A single projectile charged with all the power in the Universe…An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as 10,000 suns, rose in all its splendor…it was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes an entire race.

    "The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. Their hair and nails fell out, pottery broke without any apparent cause, and the birds turned white.

    "After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves into the river."


    A Historian Comments

    Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian sacred writings are full of such descriptions, which sound like an atomic blast as experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He says references mention fighting sky chariots and final weapons. An ancient battle is described in the Drona Parva, a section of the Mahabharata.

    "The passage tells of combat where explosions of final weapons decimate entire armies, causing crowds of warriors with steeds and elephants and weapons to be carried away as if they were dry leaves of trees," says Ganguli.

    "Instead of mushroom clouds, the writer describes a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds as consecutive openings of giant parasols. There are comments about the contamination of food and people's hair falling out."

    The link I previously posted now leads to---This page does not exist.

    Well there you go.

    Just as well I pasted the report from another thread.

    Greybeard, the link is to an empty page (hope you can find the one mentioned). It is wonderful that we are beginning to hear more about earlier times on this planet. Here is a video about Graham Hancock's Underworld, Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age exploration in India.

    For those wanting to go deeper into alternative history here is a well researched series that goes back to Atlantis/Lemuria and continues right up to the present day. Its focus is on occult history and traces the bloodlines and their movements and bases of power. He goes into great detail and sources his information.

    I have put up a couple ' fun' posts about Lemurians a few years ago when Bob and
    Ion were discussing them . Apparently they have been living along side us for a
    for a very long time , and come from Lemuria which is two galaxies away from the
    Andromada galaxy which is the next one to ours . They look physically like
    humans , but with more reptilian traits and features and the large Moai stone
    statues on Easter Island are supposed to depict them. They are a bit like 'watchers'
    (who are humans from other worlds )but less emotional and do intermingle with us,
    as opposed to observing, and are even in high positions around the world but don't
    interbreed although they are sexually compatible. There were lots of questions on
    the live radio show at the time , and I remember asking a question on the
    inbox/chat . On their Achieve radio show , Is the UK Royal family Lemurian ? which
    would tie in with David Icke ' reptilian bloodline . ( Though that could be Annunaki
    or possibly Draconian ) The answer was not clear , I think Ion said no , but there
    were Lemurian influences or something. Anyway it has cropped up from time to
    time , but in unconnected Q & A , but I find it very interesting. Plus with all the new
    ancient humans popping up over the last few years ....Why not ?? ...I'l see if I can
    find one of the old posts....

    If you want maps of these ancient places just look at maps of the world during the last ice age. It's pretty obvious.


    The Atlantic Ocean during the last ice age (prior to about 10,000 BC):

    Indonesia during the last ice age (likely candidate for Lemuria, and ancient pyramids have recently been discovered on the remaining islands):




    Europe during the last ice age:




    Until today the biggest cities in the world are often built on the coasts, by the ocean. In the US we have New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami, New Orleans, among others, as examples of this. Elsewhere in the world you have Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Ho Chi Minh City, Mumbai, Naples, Alexandria (Egypt), Veracruz, and many others.

    Any cities in these coastal regions during the last ice age would now be under a lot of water.

    The cataclysm around 10,000 BC that caused the end of the ice age and global flooding, also nearly exterminated mankind as a species, if you go by all the various flood myths and legends. What was left on dry ground is often covered over in vegetable growth. The Pyramids at Giza are a notable exception, being in what is now an arid desert.

    Some time ago I came across the book "INANNA RETURNS" by Susan Ferguson who is still alive. It is a fascinating account of her memories from many thousands of years ago. The link I give goes to her webpage, on which you can download a PDF of her book.

    I highly recommend reading it, not only for accounts of ancient war, but for the amazing memory of "scintillating geometrics" that hold layers of memory/meaning/information. Some quotes:

    "Inanna contemplated her multidimensional selves, wondering why she could not break through to them. ...
    When Inanna decided to incarnate into a variety of human beings, she had no idea that life in a human body could be so confusing and dangerous. There was something so dense about the whole experience; no wonder the human race was having such a difficult time of it.
    ...
    "Inanna! Don't you remember, before you were born into the family of Anu? Remember a time before you were born into your lovely blue body, before Nibiru and Earth." ... "You mean before I became me, Inanna? What could I have been before me?"

    A vision came before the Eye of her Mind: an infinite number of colored geometric light forms constantly changed in rapid succession. She endeavored to make the forms stay still so that she could identify even one of them, but they refused to do so. "Inanna, it is me, your old mentor, Melinar!"

    The face was familiar, gentle and kind, an old man with sparkling green eyes that reminded Inanna of her favorite emeralds. Then she remembered why she loved jewelry; the rapidly changing vision Melinar presented was like thousands of mutating cut stones shining with transparent inner light. She had once been just this form and she remembered it quite clearly. She had once been a body of 144 geometric forms in perpetual motion known as the brilliants.

    One day she had become tired of being this radiant color show of creative intelligence, and had decided to experiment with other life forms."


    Here is Ms. Ferguson's page on which her books are freely available: http://www.metaphysicalmusing.com/

    A word of explanation as to why I have so enjoyed her work is that I feel a soul connection to her. I have flown into rather high frequencies and seen moving geometrics that form the blueprint of my largest oversoul, and I have glimpses of memory of some things she writes about. Her work may not be for everyone, but it is most interesting.

    People on earth were called "Lulus" and at the time of the great flood, Inanna wrote how sad she was to see her Lulus drowning as she rose up from earth in a spacecraft. As said, it is interesting reading.

    yes , Greybeard , the old Lyrians say there was an atomic war in the ancient past , it created the Gobi Desert , and also Death Valley in California ... the forefathers of Jehovah started a war that encompassed the entire world , they say it was a global war that began on another planet that was destroyed where now that planets remains circle as the asteroid belt( fragments of a planet go figure) ...

    This could be confirmation of an event mentioned in the ancient Hindu text "The Ramayana"

    Researchers discover a 1.7 million year old man-made bridge


    Quote It seems that researchers have confirmed that “Adam’s Bridge” is in fact an artificial bridge constructed 1,700,000 years ago. Located in the Palk Strait, in the Indian Ocean there is a particular geographical area, a thin strip of land that connects the south of India with Sri Lanka. It is called “Adam’s Bridge”.

    Adam’s Bridge is believed to be the remains of an ancient pre-flood bridge. Possibly, the first ever bridge built on Earth.

    Even though historians, archaeologists and researchers believe that the first complex civilizations appeared on Earth some 5000 years ago, today, with all the discoveries that have been made, we know that mankind existed much before on Earth than mainstream scholars tell us. Through the study of discoveries like this, we can understand the complexity of our distant past. This ancient bridge was reportedly passable on foot up to the 15th century until storms deepened the channel: temple records seem to say that Adam’s Bridge was completely above sea level until it broke in a cyclone in AD 1480.

    Mystics in India like this are commonplace. There is a gulf in consciousness between east and west.

    Holy Man Hasn’t Eaten In 75 Years – Confirmed By Doctors




    Quote His claims were scientifically studied by a team of 30 specialists during three weeks of a variety of tests at a hospital.

    They took him into then Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, India. They put him under 24 hour observation in front of cameras and found out that he did not take any kind of food or water in the 15 days that he was in hospital. No food or water for half that time would be a sure death for anybody else. And he did not pass urine or stool either.

    Dear Bsbray, Thank you for the very valuable maps. The one with the mid-Atlantic ridge turning into Atlantis is quite telling.

    Unfortunately, it seems that the one with Indonesia does not respond. Is it me? – If not, could you try and re-post it? Being highly interested in Mu and Mundaland, I would love to see an estimate of its contours in remote times.

    Thank you very much in advance for your considering my request!

    It’s good to hear that more and more people are putting these pieces together.


    LoveofLife,
    Great video post. I’ll put that in my list. He’s well-spoken, and it seems highly researched and information-rich. Btw, the Holy Man is Astounding! Did you see the Al Jazeera clip of it?




    Cidersomerset & Bsbray,
    Great Maps! Lines up with what I’ve heard about Atlantis sinking & breaking up. Hawaii and the Marquesas, etc. are only fragments of what once was. But Bsbray’s map has me thinking on new lines. Is it possible that the legendary sinking of Atlantis was also a physical phenomenon, as well? Perhaps caused by the ending ice age?


    Greybeard,
    The available evidence certainly suggests an ancient nuclear device was used in India, and I have the Mahabharata on my “to-read” list to study the passages for myself. Looks like I’ll have to keep my eyes out for the Drona Parva section!

    The different shape of the clouds upon detonation is interesting though.

    Any physics majors around here that could speculate?

    The Lost Continent of Kumari Kandam


    The story of Kumari Kandam is not regarded as just a story, but seems to be laden with nationalistic sentiments. It has been claimed that the Pandiyan kings of Kumari Kandam were the rulers of the whole Indian continent, and that Tamil civilisation is the oldest civilisation in the world. When Kumari Kandam was submerged, its people spread across the world and founded various civilisations, hence the claim that the lost continent was also the cradle of human civilisation.
    So, how much truth is there in the story of Kumari Kandam? According to researchers at India’s National Institute of Oceanography, the sea level was lower by 100 m about 14,500 years ago and by 60 m about 10,000 years ago. Hence, it is entirely possible that there was once a land bridge connecting the island of Sri Lanka to mainland India. As the rate of global warming increased between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, the rising sea levels resulted in periodic flooding. This would have submerged prehistoric settlements that were located around the low-lying coastal areas of India and Sri Lanka. Stories of these catastrophic events may have been transmitted orally from one generation to another and finally written down as the story of Kumari Kandam.
    One piece of evidence used to support the existence of Kumari Kandam is Adam’s Bridge (also called Rama’s Bridge), a chain of limestone shoals made up of sand, silt and small pebbles located in the Palk Strait extending 18 miles from mainland India to Sri Lanka. This strip of land was once believed to be a natural formation, however, others argue that images taken by a NASA satellite depict this land formation to be a long broken bridge under the ocean's surface.




    The location of Adam's Bridge between India and Sri Lanka


    The existence of a bridge in this location is also supported by another ancient legend. The Ramayana tells the tale of Sita, Rama’s wife, being held captive on the island of Lanka. Rama commissions a massive building project to construct a bridge to transport his army of Vanara (ape men) across the ocean to Lanka.
    As with most so-called myths, it seems likely that there is at least some truth to the ancient Tamil legends of Kumari Kandam, but just how much, is yet to be determined.
