The Vedic People worshipped Fire.
The Rig Veda, the earliest known Literature known to humanity speaks of fire first.
Its date as 5000 BC is debatable.
Indian Philosophy considers Time as Cyclic and not Linear( For a clear understanding of this,please read my blog’Time,A Non Linear Theory’)
The world retracts at the end of Brahma’s end and is revolved.
The world is dissolved by Fire.
The present world Time frame is called Kali Yuga.
The preceding one is called Dwapara Yuga, which ended about 5007 Years back.
Time rolls on and stays still.
Time exists eternally and an event is happening, happened and will happen.
And all the events occur simultaneously.
Please read my blogs on different planes of existence-marked as Third.Fourth and up to 11 th level.
Refers to:
Scientists say they have new evidence that our ancestors were using fire as early as a million years ago.
It takes the form of ash and bone fragments recovered from Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa.
The team tells the journal PNAS that the sediments suggest frequent, controlled fires were lit on the site.
The ability to use fire is regarded as a key step in human development because it gave us access to cooked foods and new technologies.
Stone tools found at Wonderwerk Cave indicate the ancestor in question may have been Homo erectus, a species whose existence has been documented as far back as 1.8 million years ago.
Establishing precisely when humans first acquired the ability to control fire has been very difficult.
There have been several claims that the skill was in existence even earlier than at Wonderwerk.
But they have all been challenged, with sceptics arguing the fire remains from open sites could have been the result of natural blazes ignited by lightning.
In contrast, the PNAS team, which consists of scientists based at US, Israeli, German and South African institutions, says statements about the Northern Cape cave are far more secure.
If correct, the Wonderwerk discovery would push the earliest indisputable controlled use of fire back by about 300,000 years.
