V.R. Ramachandra Dikshitar. (1995) The Purana Index. pp. 16 This Jambudvipa was divided into nine varshas (geographical regions) of which one was Bharatha Varsha. The other eight varshas were Ketumula Varsha, Hari Varsha, Ilavrita Varsha, Kuru Varsha, Hiranyaka Varsha, Ramyaka Varsha, Kimpurusha Varsha, Bhadrasva Varsha.
“Listen as I now recount the isle of Tamraparni below Pandya-desa andKanyaKumari, gemmed upon the ocean. The gods underwent austerities there, in a desire to attain greatness. In that region also is the lake of Gokarna…Pulastya said… Then one should go toGokarna, renowned in the three worlds. O Indra among kings! It is in the middle of the ocean and is worshipped by all the worlds. Brahma, the Devas, the rishis, the ascetics, the bhutas (spirits or ghosts), the yakshas, the pishachas, the kinnaras, the great nagas, the siddhas, the charanas, the gandharvas, humans, the pannagas, rivers, ocean and mountainsworship Uma’s consort there”. Mahabharata. Volume 3. pp. 46-47, 99.
Tamraparni” is related “Search the empire of the Andhras, the sister nations three, Cholas, Cheras and the Pandyas dwelling by the southern sea. Pass Kaveri’s spreading waters, Malaya’s mountains towering brave, seek the isle of Tamraparni, gemmed upon the ocean wave!

Mahabharata reference. Listen, O son of Kunti, I shall now describe Tamraparni. In that asylum the gods had undergone penances impelled by the desire of obtaining salvation. In that region also is the lake of Gokarna, celebrated over the three worlds.( 3.88)
Greek references. The name “Tamraparni” was adopted into Greek asTaprobana, called as such byOnesicritusandMegasthenesin the 4th century BC.Megasthenes shares inIndicathat “Taprobane is separated from the mainland by a river; that the inhabitants are called Palaiogonoi, and that their country is more productive of gold and large pearls than India.”
Taprobana”, which also finds mention inDe MundoofAristotleand in the world map of another of his students,Dicaearchus. One of the first Geography in which it appears is that ofEratosthenes(276 to 196 BC) and was later adopted byPtolemy(139 AD) inhis geographical treatiseto identify Sri Lanka as the relatively large island “Taprobane”, south of continental Asia.
And we have Paadal Petra Sthalas, temples praised by saints,
108 Divya Kshetras,
Vaippu Sthalas,Added because of special presence.
I have written on Five elements temples, Panchakrosa Sthalas, Shakti peetas,Geographically aligned Sthalas,Astronomically aligned Sthalas and special effect temples.
Many unique Temples are in Thirunelveli and Kanyakumari Districts,Tamil Nadu.
Ever since I wrote about the presence of evidence of early Indian history, I have been searching for further authentic information.
I had earlier written on,
A Million year old Advanced Tamil site near Chennai, India,
Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu being 30,000 years old,
Lemuria, home of Tamils, 230 Million years,
Jwalapuram, Andhra, India, 74,000 years,
Thiruvannaamalai, Tamil Nadu 3.94 billion years,
Thirupathi, Andhra Indiay, 2100 million years,
Bengal was in existence and was ruled by kings 25,000 Years ago,
Dwaraka is at least thirty years old,
…
I had also written on the fact that the first human migration took place from India and earliest Human DNA had been traced to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Kindly search Google +relevant search term from the above for details.
Now I have come across evidence that suggest human habitation of India 1.5 millions years ago.
‘
The peopling of India refers to the migration of Homo sapiensand earlier hominids into the Indian subcontinent. Evidence of human populations in India may stretch as far back as
1,500,000 years before today.
Modern humans settled India in multiple waves of early migrations, over tens of millennia. The first migrants came with the Southern Coastal dispersal, ca. 60,000 years ago, whereafter complex migrations within south and southeast Asia took place. With the onset of farming the population of India changed significantly by the migration of Dravidians and the Indo-European, while the migrations of the Munda people and the Tibeto-Burmese speaking people also added new elements
‘Acheulian stone tools which is about 1.51 million years old, have been discovered in Chennai near Attirampakkam. These stones were found by researchers from the Chennai-based Sharma Centre for Heritage Education.
The discovery indicates that early humans (hominins), used these tools. The tools are much older than those found in Europe. These tools are also found in several countries in South Asia, including India, Nepal, and Pakistan.
More than hundreds of different tools have been discovered from the Attirampakkam site. The most common ones are hand-axes, cleavers and small flakes. The stone axes are elongated teardrop or ovate-shaped with bifacial symmetry.
Unlike the hand-axes, the cleavers have broad cutting edges.
I have written about ancient civilizations,which have been dismissed as myth not long ago.
Now ancient history is getting a new look,thanks to new findings in archaeology around the World and the availability of information worldwide,thanks to Internet.
People or Nations find it no longer easy to stem the flow of information.
Earlier history was written with a political agenda,be it the compilation of the Old Testament by Constantine,or the misinformation about Indian History.
Now it is difficult to misinform people and the research findings are for everyone to access.
The problem lies in the fact that the one who finds something new is unable to link the information found anywhere else because he may not be familiar about a fact,event,records of another culture.
For instance the sea floor anamoly in Newzealand was linked to the Great Flood mentioned in Tamil classics,thanks to the input provided to me by a Researcher in Oceanography in New zealand.
Thanks to him I was able to corroborate the fact that Poompuhar in Tamil Nadu can be dated 30,000 years back.
Similarly I could get valuable inputs from US on the presence of Sanatana Sharma in the Caribbean and the connection of Italy with Hinduism from a Researcher in Italy.
So even though information is available in the web,it needs some effort to link information available elsewhere.
Fortunately,two oldest Languages,Sanskrit and Tamil provide enough data.
Resources available around the world indicate the presence five ancient civilizations.
Uyghur Flag.
Uyghur,
Atlantis,
Hyperborean,
Lemuria and
Rama Empire.
Of these I have touched upon Hyperborean civilization,written in detail about Lemuria being 230 Million years old,Rama Empire covering the world,Atlantis and Ramayana connection and Lemurians being the ancestors of Rama.
It is essential that one remembers that the landmass of ancient age was different from what it is today.
There was no Europe,Americas,Africa,Australia or Asia as we know of them now.
In this connection I have written on Rodina,Pangea,Lemuria,all being Super Continents.
There was another area lying in the periphery of Lemuria,the Home of Tamils.
It also had Tamil Culture.
The area was called MU.
The MU civilization was quite advanced and a document linking Tamils with MU people is reported to be in a room in Ekambareswara Temple,Kanchipuram,Tamil Nadu.
This has been brought forth by Churchward in his research works.
There seems to have been an advanced civilization ,which we can point at some point NorthEast of Australia,going by the present map of the world.
This civilization extended towards the west encompassing the entire land mass,including what is now Africa,Atlantic and Americas.
On the northern side it seemed to have extended to Arctic through China,Russia.
(Remember all these events were before the Himalayas formed some forty million years ago.
And Shiva’s Marriage with Parvati took place after the fformation of Himalayas. )
At that point of time evolution seems to have taken place in this region and an advanced culture developed.
Then three Great Floods struck and people had to migrate.
Manu,the ancestor of Lord Ramayana moved north of Vindhya mountains and Manu’s son Ikshvaku founded the Surya balsa,The Solar Dynasty.
Some people were left behind and among them was Ila,daughter of Manu and she founded the Lunar Dynasty,Chandra Vamsa.
One curious information at this juncture is that Shiva worship seems to have been prevalent during this period and this period predates The,Vedic age.
One finds only an indirect reference to Shiva in the Vedas,in the Sri Rudram addressed to Rudra as ‘Nama Sivaaya cha,Sivadharaaya Cha’
Shiva seems to have left the area during the flood ,along with his son Ganesh towards the west traversing all the way to Arctic where The Rig Veda was composed.
One can find references to Shiva in The Middle east,Africa,Americas ,Europe and Russia.
I have written articles on these in detail.
After the Rig Veda was composed Shiva seems to have returned to India from the Arctic through Russia,Iran.
One can find references to Ganesha and Shiva in Azherbaijn as well.
This entry by Shiva was interpreted as Aryan Invasion.
Shiva’s other son Subrahmanya,called Murugan traveled towards the east.
Note the letter MU,the first letter of Murugan.
In classical Tamil the prefix of MU indicates very ancient.
Elders are called Moothoor,Old age as Mudhumai and Madurai was called as Madurai Moodhoor.
In the process of Shiva returning to India he passed through the area,which probably had a civilization or Shiva founded one.
It was the Uyghur Civilization.
I am providing excerpts from an article on Uyghur Civilization below and the Link.
I shall be writing more on Uyghur ,Dravidas,and Santana Sharma.
Uyghur Empire was possibly the first, and unquestionably the largest, most important, and most powerful of all the colonial empires belonging to Mu. Colonization commenced just north of Burma more than 70,000 years ago.
The Uyghur Empire stretched its powerful arms from the Pacific Ocean across Central Asia and into Eastren Europe from the Caspian Sea on. This was before the British Isles became separated from the continent of Europe.
The southern boundary of the Uyghur Empire was along the northern boundaries of Cochin China, Burma, India, and Persia,and this was before the Himalayas and the other Asiatic mountains were raised.
Their northern boundary extended into Siberia, but how far there is no record to tell. Remains of their cities have been found in the southern parts of Siberia.
Legendary history states that the Uyghurs extended themselves all through the central parts of Europe. The Book of Manu, an ancient Hindu book, says: ” The Uyghurs had a settlement on the northern and eastern shores of the Caspian sea.”
They settled in northern Spain, northern France, and far down into the Balkan region. The late archeological discoveries in Moravia are Uyghur remains, and the evidences in which ethnologists have based their theories that man originated in Asia have been marks left by the advancing Uyghurs in Europe.
Chinese legend tells that the Uyghurs were at the height of their civilization about 17,000 years ago. This date agrees with geological phenomenon.
An ancient record in a monastery states: “The capital City of the Uyghurs with all its people was destroyed by a flood which extended throughout the eastern part of the Empire, destroying all and everything.” This ancient record is absolutely corroborated by geological phenomena.
ancient record in a monastery states: “The capital City of the Uyghurs with all its people was destroyed by a flood which extended throughout the eastern part of the Empire, destroying all and everything.” This ancient record is absolutely corroborated by geological phenomena.
At the time the Uyghur Empire was at its peak, the mountain had not been raised and what is now the Gobi Desert (Teklimakan)was a rich well-watered plain. Here the capital city of the Uyghurs was situated, almost due south from Lake Baikal. In 1896 a party of explorers, upon information received in Tibet, visited the site of the ancient city of Khara Khota. They had been told that the Uyghur capital city lay under the ruins of Khara Khota. They dug through these ruins and then through a stratum of boulders,gravel and sand fifty feet in thickness, and finally came upon the ruins of the capital city.
The history of the Uyghurs is the history of the Aryan races, for all of the true Aryan races descended from Uyghur forefathers. The Uyghurs formed chains of settlements across the central parts of Europe back in Tertiary Times. After the Empire was destroyed by the great magnetic cataclysm and mountain rising, the surviving remnants of humanity or their descendants again formed settlements in Europe. This was during the Pleistocene Time. The slaves, Tautens, Celts, Irish,Bretons and Basques are all descended from Uyghur stock. The Bretons,Basques, and genuine Irish are the descendants of those who survived the magnetic cataclysm and mountain raising.
Some Chinese records, bearing a date of 500 B.C. Describe the Uyghurs as having been “light-haired, blue-eyed people.” ” The Uyghurs were all of a light complexion, milk-white skin, with varying color of eyes and hair. In the north blue eye and light hair predominated. In the south were found those with dark hair and dark eyes.”
The Uyghurs had reached a high state of civilization and culture.They knew astrology, mining, the textile industries,architecture, mathematics, agriculture, writing, reading, medicine, ect. They were experts in decorative art or silk, metals, and wood, and they made statues of gold, silver, bronze, and clay and this was before the history of Egypt commenced.
The history of Central Asia is the history of the Uyghurs. The Uyghur people are a distinct, vibrant cultural element of Central Asia. Whether you examine the role of Uyghur scholars in Genghis Khan’s court as administrators, peruse the artistic wonders of their architectural accomplishments involving the Buddhist, Christian or Islamic periods, or read translations of the numerous written works on medicine,history or just their humor, one cannot but realize the unique and vital contributions of the Uyghur people to history.[Jack Churchward]
Currently, the majority of the Uyghur people live under the rule of the Chinese government. I would be remiss were I not to mention that this centuries’ old culture is under attack. Uyghur language text books are banned from classrooms and book burnings have consumed thousands of books, just for being correct about history. [Jack Churchward]
In the late 1930s, Turkey’s Independence leader Ataturk promoted research on Mu and other lost continents, in the hope of establishing connections between the Turkish civilization and other ancient cultures, such as the Uyghur, Indian, Mayan, and Aztec.
I have written on the relationship between Tamils,Mayans and Aztecs.
And the Gobekli Tepe Temple was built by Brahmins.
Caspian sea was Kashyap Sagar.
River Danube was named after Chanukah,mother of Dhanavas.
The period belonging to recorded history seems to a revisit.
This is because of new archeological findings that predate recorded history and one finds a lot of anomalies in regard to our advancements in almost every field.
Things that were there during that period should not be there ,going by our recorded history.
The Wheel was used during the Period of Ramayana,Mahabharatha and even much earlier according to Indian texts.
Chariots were used.
Advanced concepts in Physics,Chmistry,Biology,Astronomy,Quantum Theory are found in Indians texts,along with Atomic theory and theories in almost all disciplines and practical applications of theories in building Aircrafts,Radar,Space Suits,diet for Astronauts.
I have written on each of these.
And there is ample evidence to prove the existence of UFOs,UMOs(unidentified marine objects,classified data released by the then USSR.
On UFOs,the released classified filed from the US are voluminous,including the testimony of Apollo Astronaut.
Then there is Area B51 in the US which is a secret location and A BBC crew was arrested for trying to enter the area.
There are proven UFO sightings.
I have written on these,under UFO,Astrophysics.
And there is this instance of US troops disappearing in Afghanisthan,while investigating the remains of an ancient Vimana,Aircraft.
There is a tunnel from Mount Kailash to Iraq,through Romania.
Three stone platforms were found,in one ,one can find his life flashing by,in another the sky map appears.
Nobody is able to understand the Third Table.
Then we have Anamolies,
Human history,
Science Anamoloies,
Artifacts,
Time travel anomalies,
I shall be writing on each of these in detail.
I shall be examining the Civilizations of the world of prehistoric times.
Civilizations do not develop overnight.
They take thousands of years.
The same with languages//literature.
And when we speak of ancient times,We should remember that the landmass then was different from what it is today.
There were Super Continents,Rodina,Pangea,Lemuria ,Atlantis.
The effort to discredit Atlantis and Lemuria has come to nought,with archeological and geological evidences surfacing and with advanced dating tools like infra red dating and Plate tectonics studies.
We also must remember that Ocean floor is not explored even by ten percent!
Amazon is explored only by 10 percent.
We can not understand how marine beings could live under the oceans,miles deep,with water pressure crushing everything.
As to Stars,We are yet to understand the Magnitude of the Universe.
The known Universe is of Matter made of Atoms in the conventional sense.
That is Electron with negative charge,proton with positive charge and neutron,neutral.
Now we find that there is anti matter,which has these three with Electron with positive charge,Proton with Negative charge and Netron,Neutral.
Then we have Quantum Theory.
An atom is present in more than one place at the same time.
Your perception of an object,atom,changes it,and it also changes your perception of it.
Atoms communicate with each other at long distances.
Very scarce information is available on Magnetism,Gravity and Time.
Such bein the real case our knowledge is very limited and we should not abrogate ourselves into believing what we know now is the truth or facts.
Considering these points,one must be prepared to look for additional sources of Knowledge,including Intuition,theories of Interstellar visit of Aliens,Aliens manipulating our DNA.
And we should also examine the circumstances leading to the Great Flood mentioned in all mythologies and almost all legends.
Unless we can disprove them,they are data to be verified.
What has been dismissed as legend, myth is proved to be fact.
For example,Ramayana,Mahabharata,Krishna,Dwaraka,Madurai,Poompuhar,Tamil Sandals..
I shall be attempting to understand these issues in forthcoming articles by verifying all these thoughts with the help of modern technics and wherever it is called for with Intution and from Authentic sources where most facts are verifiable except some areas,which may be due to our limitations in understanding.
To begin with I will start with the first prehistoric civilizations.
