Sync between time history and ages

Archaeological studies reveal that the first human inhabitation happened in

Sri Lanka around 1,750,000 years ago and it’s been proved that the bridge’s

age dates back to the same equivalent. To top it, the dates mentioned in the

text of Valmiki matches with that of primitive age as well.

Research of University of Delhi

New research carried out by anthropological scientists from the

Estonian Biocentre and the University of Delhi claims that events of

the Ramayana occurred in reality thousands of years ago. Scientists say

that results of their genetic studies, with existing data, show genetic

signatures of tribal groups featured in the Ramayana such as the

Gonds, Kols and Bhils. Gonds are a prominent group in Adilabad

district of Telangana.

The color of the soil of the ancient battlefield is still red today, and is still surrounded by lighter colored earth. One of the airports of Ravana, torched by Hanuman when he came looking for Sita, still has a scorched-earth look. A patch of darker soil surrounded by brown earth.

Sanjeevani Mountain, Dunagiri

Hanumana carried the entire mountain that had SanjeevaniBooti when Lakshmana lost his conscious during the Lanka war. This mountain was named as Dunagiri. In most re-tellingsof Ramayana, after the medicines were used, Hanuman flies again to replace the mountain in its rightful place.

Ramayana a Myth or Reality?

The thing is, it is a little pointless to argue about the historical accuracy

of the Ramayana . Whether it happened or not, is not as important as

the message of good triumphing over evil it has spread throughout the

passage of time.
