a discovery made by a team of marine archaeologistsfrom india’s national institute of oceanography in march 1991 has begun to bring about a sea-change.working the off-shore of tarangambadi-poompuhar coast in tamilnadu near nagapattinam, a researchvessel equipped with side-scan sonar, identified a man-made object and described it as “ ahorse shoe shaped structureâ€. in 1993, it was examined again and nio’s diver archaeologistsreported that the u-shaped structure lies
Offshore Job Blogspot, at a depth of 23 metres and about 5 kms offshore. subsequent explorations carried out by grahamhancock and his team, who were working in association with dr glen milne, a specialistin glacio-isotacy and glaciation induced sea-level change, were able to show that areas at 23metres depth would have submerged about 11,000
years before the present time or 9,000 bc.the historical significance of that fact is that it makes the u-shaped structure 6,000years older than the first monumental architecture of egypt or of ancient sumer or mesopotamiadated around 3,000 bc and traditionally regarded as the oldest civilisations of antiquity.this ties in with the geological evidence of such happenings at that time as well asthe tamil traditions of the first two tamil sangams referred to earlier. the durham geologists led by dr. glen milnehave shown in their maps that south india between 17,000-7,000 years ago extended southwardbelow cape comorin incorporating present day sri lanka. it had an enhanced offshore runningall the way to the equator. the maps portray
the region as no history or culture is supposedto have known it. the much larger tamil homeland of thousands of years ago as described inthe kumari kandam tradition takes shape. it supports the opening of the kumari kandamflood tradition set in the remote pre-historic period of 12,000 –10,000 years ago.with its description of submerged cities and lost lands, the kumari kandam tradition predictedthat pre-historic ruins more than 11,000 years old should lie underwater at depths and locationsoff tamilnadu’s coast. literary evidence of the lost continent ofkumari kandam comes principally from the literature of the third tamil sangam and the historicalwritings based on them.. the silappathikaram, a well known tamil literary work, for instancementions, “ the river prahuli and the mountain
kumari surroundered by many hills being submergedby the raging seaâ€. the kalittogai, another literary work, specificallyrefers to a pandyan king losing territories to the sea and compensating the loss by conqueringnew territories from the chera and chola rulers to the north.in his commentary on the tolkappiyam, nachinarkiniyar mentions that the sea submerged forty-ninenadus , south of the kumari river. adiyarkkunelar, a medieval commentator, says that before thefloods, those forested and populated lands between the prahuli and kumari rivers stretched700 kavathams, ie for about 1,000 miles. there is ample scope for socio-anthropologists,archaeologists, geologists and scholars of tamil and tamil history to further researchthe subject. given that the first and second
sangams were a golden age of literary, artisticand musical creativity amongst the tamils, we are looking at a civilisation which hadreached a high level of development, organisation and cultural advancement from as early as11,000 years ago from today.
