  • Egyptians Ancestors Tamils Religion Sanatan Dharma

    I have ben exploring the spread of Sanatana Dharma and Tamil.

    I have written articles that Iran,Iraq,Mesopotamia),Sumeria,Russi,Arctic,Indonesia,Vietnam, Cambodia,Japan, Bali , Philippines, New Zealand Australia had the Sanatana Dharma as their roots.

    The Incas were the descendants of the Tamils

    I have found that wherever Sanatana Dharma is found Tamil is found!

    Egypt

    The Mayans had Sanatana Dharma origin (please read my Post on this).

    More to follow on this.

    Now it seems that the Egyptians were the descendants of the Tamils!

    The presence of Narasimha as Naram Sin, Images of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana,Ancient Tamil scripts being found in Oman and Egypt(I have posts) point in the direction of Sanatana Dharma having been in Egypt.

    Of more interest is that the Ancestors of the Egyptians were the Tamils.

     

    ‘”Under the reign of Viswamitra, first king of the Dynasty of Soma -Vanga, in consequence of a battle which lasted five days, Manu -Vina, heir of the ancient kings, being abandoned by the Brahmans , emigrated with all his companions, passing through Arya , and the countries of Barria, till he came to the shores of Masra [Cairo].” (History of India, by Collouca-Batta). Unquestionably this Manu-Vina  and Menes , the first Egyptian King, are identical.Arya , is Eran (Persia ); Barria, is Arabia, and Masra, was the name of Cairo, which to this day is called,Masr, Musr, and Misro. Phœnician history names Maser as one of the ancestors of Hermes .”

    This tallies with the information that Viswamitra banished his sons to the Dravida Desa (History of Tamils by P.T.Srinivasa Iyengar)

    “The four principal groups in ancient India were the Asuras (Assyrians or Indus Valley people), Panis (Phoenicians), Yakhus or Yakshas (subjects of Kubera, god of gold and treasure a.k.a. Nagas) and Mayas. We know them today as the Dravidians (Tamils, Malayalam, etc.)

    The non Indus Valley people in ancient days were exceedingly superstitious and fearful of the Mayans. The latter were excellent international shippers and traders, builders and astronomers. Their superstitious enemies thought their accomplishments had to be magic and beyond human ability. They were ultimately driven to Ceylon where they inhabited the province of Maya. Later, they went to the Americas, having been taken there by Kubera and his Yakshas.”  ‘Ceylon’ in those ancient times was more than likely the now sunken land to the south of India and connected geographically to the Ceylon of today, Sri Lanka. This is the ancient Tamil country of which today’s Tamil Nadu in India is but a small remnant:

     

    “Egypt  herself had, in those unknown ages when Menes  reigned received her laws, her social institutions, her arts and her sciences, from pre-Vedic India.”

    Menes the Ancient Egyptian King was Manu.

    ‘Menes is undoubtedly the Manu of the second subrace (5.2 Ancient Egypt) and there is a close connection to India which persists to this day – as any traveler to both nations will attest. If the Mayans have a ‘perfect identity of the rites, ceremonies, traditions’ of Egypt then it is further proof that their genesis is in India, also known as ‘Bharata’ in ancient times.

    This strenghtens my thory that the Sanatana Dharma was in the South and spread throughout the world and the ancient people of Sanatana Dharma lived in the Dravida Desa.

  • Tamil City In 2200 BC Sumerian Akkadian Text Ellu எள்

    I have , based on the available evidence, that there was a close contact between the Tamils and the rest of the world, specially with the Middle East ,South East Asia and Italy.

    To cite a few archeological facts,

    Potsherd with Tamil Inscription in Oman.Image.png
    Potsherd with Tamil Inscription in Oman.

     

    A Tamil-Brahmi script inscribed on a potsherd, which was found at the Khor Rori area in Oman, has come to light now. The script reads “nantai kiran” and it can be dated to first century CE, that is, 1900 years before the present. The discovery in the ancient city of Sumhuram has opened a new chapter in understanding the maritime trade of the Indian Ocean countries, according to specialists in history.

    Tamil Brahmi Script in Egypt.Image.jpg
    Tamil Brahmi Script in Egypt.

    1.Lord Rama’s Chapel was found in UR, Iraq.*

    2.A burial ground called as Nagar is fond in Syria. It is called Tel Brak now.

    3.Idols of Rama,Sita and Lakshmana are found.*

    4.Ancestors of the Syrians were the Halaf and Ubaid.

    They date back to 6100 BC.

    They had connection with the Tamils and this is reflected in the ruins of  Nagar.*

    These people traded with the Tamils.

    ”Naram-Sin traded with Meluhha (almost certainly corresponding to the Indus Valley civilization), and controlled a large portion of land along the Persian Gulf. He expanded his empire by defeating the King of Magan at the southern end of the Persian Gulf, and conquering the hill tribes to the north in the Taurus Mountains.

    5.Akkadian’s( Forefathers of the Sumerians) Moon God was Naram Sin, Narasimha.*

    6.There are repeated references in the Sumerian/Akkadian language to Meluuha.

    The interpretation and location of this place is hotly debated.

    Sumerian texts repeatedly refer to three important centers with which they traded: Magan, Dilmun, and Meluhha. Magan is usually identified with Egypt in later Assyrian texts; but the Sumerian localization of Magan was probably Oman. Dilmun was a Persian Gulf civilization which traded with Mesopotamian civilizations, the current scholarly consensus is that Dilmun encompassed Bahrain, Failaka Island and the adjacent coast of Eastern Arabia in the Persian Gulf.[1][2]

    The location of Meluhha, however, is hotly debated. There are scholars today who confidently identify Meluhha with the Indus Valley Civilization (modern South Asia) on the basis of the extensive evidence of trading contacts between Sumer and this region. Sesame oil was probably imported from the Indus River region into Sumer: the Sumerian word for this oil is illu (Akkadian: ellu). In Dravidian languages of South India, el or ellu stands for sesame”

    7.Ancient Tamil Brahmi Scripts were found in Oman and Egypt.

    These facts establish that,

    The Tamils were an advanced civilisation by 2200 BC(Akkadian Empire)

    The Hindu Gods and Goddesses were worshiped in Sumeria,

    Names of Lord Rama and Bharata were found in the Kings List of Sumeria.

    I am aware that there is Rama in Dharpa Sayanam near Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu.

    It is said that Lord Rama was awaiting the arrival of the Lord of Oceans, Varuna, to seek his permission to build the bridge to cross over to Lanka.

    Thee is another temple, Vengampatti, near Panruti,Tamil Nadu in Venugopalaswamy Temple.

    In th temple dedicated to Venugopalaswamy (Krishna), a separate Sanctum is provided for Lord Rama.

  • Tamil Kings In Mahabharata

    Tamil and Sanatana Dharma are so intermingled that one finds numerous references to The Tamils and  Tamil Kings in the Rig Veda, Ramayana, Mahabharata and other Puranas.

    Ramayana mahabharata Dynasty Chart. image.png

    I have written quite a few articles on this.

    The Chola Kings trace their ancestry to the Solar Dynasty.,Surya Vamsa.

    Chera King Udiyan Cheralaathan fed both the Kaurava and Pandya armies.

    Krishna killed a Pandyan King(5:48)

    Chera and Chola Kings were defeated by Krishna (7:11)

    King Sarangathdwaja wanted to attack Dwaraka to avenge his father’s Death, the Pandya King,  after obtaining weapons from Bhisma, Drona, Balarama and Kripa.

    However wiser counsel prevailed and he dropped the idea.

    Later he fought alongside the side of the Pandavas against Drona(7:23).

    He was rated as an Athiratha by Bhishma( (5,172)

    When the mighty Pandya, that foremost of all wielder of weapons, has been slain in battle by the Pandavas, what can it be but destiny?(9:2)

    Pandya, who dwelt on the coast-land near the sea, came accompanied by troops of various kinds to Yudhishthira, the king of kings (5:19). There hath come Pandya. Remarkably heroic and endued with prowess and energy that have no parallel, he is devoted to the Pandava cause. (5:22).

    Pandya was  present during  the Rajasuya ceremony of Pandava King Yudhisthira.

     

    The Kings of Chera and Pandya, brought numberless jars of gold filled with fragrant sandal juice from the hills of Malaya, and loads of sandal and aloe wood from the Dardduras hills, and many gems of great brilliancy and fine cloths inlaid with gold.

    Singhalas gave those best of sea-born gems called the lapis lazuli, and heaps of pearls also, and hundreds of coverlets for elephants (2:51).(2:36,43).

    Draupadi Swayamvara.

    Pandya King took part in the  event Panchala princess Draupadi’s Swayamvara (MBh 1:189)

     

     

     

  • Indus Valley Harappan Writing Found Hampi Karnataka

    I have often wondered about the antiquity of the South of India,. called Dravida Desa, the Ancient Langauge Tamil which is often quoted by the Vedas and Puranas and tamil Kings being mentioned in the Ithihasaas ,Ramayana and Mahabharata.

    Rig Veda refers to Pearls, Sandalwood,Akhil( a type of Incense wood),Elephants and intricate silk from the Dravida desa,pointing out the Chera Kingdom, now called Kerala, which was once a part of the Tamil Chera Kingdom.

    There is also this reference of Viswamitra banishing his sons to Dravida Desa.

    Their descendant, Apasthamba compiled the Apasthamba Sutra, incorporating Tamil practices into Vedic Culture.

    Indus Valley Harappan Inscrption found in HampiImage.jpg

    Tamil Records show that Lord Krishna attendd the Tamil Poets’ Conclave, He married a Pandyan Princess and had a Daughter through her.

    Arjuna performed Tirta Yatra, Pilgrimage to South and married a Pandyan Princess.

    He had a son through her , Babruvahana, who was the only one to defeat Arjuna and killed him(Arjuna was revived by Krishna)

    Parashurama created what is Now Kerala .

    Balarama visited the Dravida Desa and worshiped Lord Subrahmanya, worshiped there as Murugan.

    Chera King Udiyan Cheralaathan  and another Pandyan King participated in the Kurukshetra War of Mahabharata.

    While Udiyan Ceralaathan fed both the Kaurava and Pandava armies during the war and performed Sraddha for the slain in the Mahabharata war,a Pandyan King Darshak fought on the side of the Pandavas.

    Lord Krishna  fought with a Pandya King and killed him.

    There are references in the Bhavatham and Tamil Classics that during one of the Tsunamis,Satyavrata Manu, the ancestor of Lord Rama migrated to South and his son Ikshvaku founded the Ikshvaku dynasty.

    The Chola Kings trace their Lineage to the Solar Dynasty of Rama and one of their early Kings called Sibi belonged to Ikshvaku Dynasty.

    Mahabharata and Raghuvamsa of Kalidasa record this.

    The archeological finding in Arikkamedu in Pondicherry and a Vedic Homa Kunda is found with references to Vedic Rites in Kanya Kumari dating back to 280BC.

    More archeological finds are reported from Tamil Nadu linking Sanatana Dharma and  the Tamils.

    Tamil Brahmi script was found in Harappa.

    Now comes the startling find.

    Drawings of the Indus Valley Scripts are found in Hampi, Karnataka!

     

    The writing system of the Indus Valley Civilization is not deciphered and it still remains a mystery. All attempts to decipher it have failed. This is one of the reasons why the Indus Valley Civilization is one of the least known of the important early civilizations of antiquity.

    On the goddess Kotamma temple woollen market way there is a rocky roof shelter for shepherds and sheep to stay at night up to morning.

    The sentence emerged after a set of 19 drawing and pictographs discovered on a hilltop in Hampi (Karnataka, India) were deciphered using root morphemes of Gondi Tribe language.

    Eleven of the Hampi pictographs resemble those of the Indus valley civilisation. This innocuous sounding statement could actually be a revolutionary find linking the Gond or Gondi tribe to the Indus Valley civilisation.

    The Gondi people are a Dravidian people of central India, spread over the states of Madhya Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra (Vidarbha), Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana and Western Odisha. With over four million people, they are the largest tribe in Central India.

    “Eleven of the Hampi pictographs resemble the Late Harappan writing of the Indus Valley Civilisation”, says Dr KM Metry, professor of tribal studies at the Kannada University. The professor claims that this shows that after the collapse of the civilisation situated in North-West India, the Harappans moved to other parts of the country, with some of them settling in Central India and a majority of them in the South.”

    My surmise that the Dravida connection with Sanatana Dharma is more deep than considered and may be the Vedic Culture prevailed here along with the Indus Valley civilization, if not earlier.

    * I have noticed a curious fact about Harappa.

    The name Harappa is very differnt from the other Northern town names.

    In fact, as far as my search goes, it is Unique

    Among all the Indian languages,only Tamil has the word ‘Appa’ for Fathere.

    And Shiva was called father in Tamil anitquity and He is addressed as Appan in medieval Tamil literature of the Shaivas and Vaishanava Saint , Azhwar calls Him , Mukkannapa, father with three Eyes!

    Following is the definition of the word Haran, a name for Shiva.

    Intriguing to find Tamil name for God in Harappa!
