Nine Landmass Ancient India Map Two Parts of Sanatana Dharma

A part of Sanatana dharma was in place from the Arctic to the Pacific ocean running through Russia, Central India to Pacific.

This consisted of South India, south asian Countries and extended to Pacific.

Another part extended from the South of India towards the west of India running through Midddle east, Europe,Africa , Americas and culminating at the Arctic.

There are some interesting differences between the two areas and I shall write on this later in detail

I have taken references from Russian Legends, folklore ,history and the history of South India, as described in ancient Tamil literature and references in the Puranas ,Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Purana Saptha Dweepa Five Landmass of Tamil Gondwana Geology

The earlier findings called this land mass as Lemuria.

But the areas of Lemuria could have been in existence only as apart of a greater continent, Gondwana, if one were to take into account the descriptions found in Puranas,Ramayana, Mahabharata and Tamil Classics and the great flood references in Indian Literature.

interestingly the Puranas mention seven islands,Saptha Dweepas and seven Oceans.

They are,

Jambuu Dweepa; Plaksha Dweepa; Saalmalii Dweepa; Kusa Dweepa; Krouncha Dweepa; Saaka Dweepa and Pushkara Dweepa.

Look at the map of the Gondwana.
