I have written on Ramayan being history also Lord Rama being a historical figure.
I have provided proof based on,
Archaeology,
Astronomy,
Astro Archeology,
Indian and foreign literature,
Kings’ List of Sumeria which mentions Dasaratha,Rama and Bharatha as kings,
Rama’s Chapel in Ur, Iraq,
References in African legends where Rama tribe still exist,
References from Atlantis legends
And more.
Though Indian authors right from Kalidasa,Kalhana have been writing on Ramayana stating it is History, Indians tend to dismiss them because they are written by Indians!
So I am providing references from some foreign sources about the authenticity of Ramayana.
Will be sharing more.
Description by Al Biruni.
‘
Next a great bay in which Single Dib lies, i.e. the island Sarandib (Ceylon). On the coast is Ummalnara, then Ramsher (Rameshar?), opposite Sarandib; the distance of the sea between them is 12 farsakh. Between Ramsher and Setubandha 2 farsakh. Setu Bandha means bridge of the ocean. It is the dike of Rama, the son of Dasaratha which he built from the continent to the castle Lanka. At present it consists of isolated mountains between which the ocean flows...

One response to “Rama Sethu Adams Bridge Description Al Biruni and Foreign Historians.”
The present book by son called AL BERUNI is the greatest DUBAKKUR for the following reasons:
Al Beruni does not mention CHALUKYAS OR CHOLAS
ALBERUNI DOES NOT MENTION GREAT SIVA TEMPLES IN GUJARAT/KARNATAKA/CHOLA MANDALAM but speaks about VAISHNAVISM only nor JAINISM
During eleventh century AD only Saivism and Jainism flourished
Vaishnavism referred by AL BERUNI corresponds to VIJAYANAGAR KINGDOM
The present bookis 15th century translation of ARABIC BOOK into English
Al Beruni mentions Pampa in Kerala is the Pampa of Kishkinda which is very near Srilanka
