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.
