Vedic History
According to some estimates Earth is said to be 4 Billion years old. The history of Earth and her human being’s origin, all are estimates based on the chanced findings of evidences, where human imagination is also mixed. 1
The contradictions on periods sometimes overlapping on time period must be understood in the light of human endeavour in piecing up the jig-saw of their own historical evolution.
Prehistoric India: It is estimated that humans set foot in India about 200,000 to 40,000 years ago
2
Palaeolithic Age: (first Stone Age)-lasted till 8,000 years BCE, they (humans) learnt about fire too.
Mesolithic Age: from 8,000 to 4,000 years BCE, they learnt farming.
3
Neolithic Age: from 4,000 to 2,500 years BCE. Wheel was invented; metals like copper & bronze were invented and used.
Bronze Age: It is the age when Indus Valley Culture prospered around 3,300 BCE onwards.

#weekend #thread 5
(Sanatan Dharma) is world’s oldest Civilization having history over 12k years; had influence almost across the World till western Abrahmic religions formed some 2.5k years back which are rejecting/destroying great ancient human heritage wherever they spread!
1/
Sanatana Dharama (Hinduism) is eternal (beyond the time).
but we can say that Sanatana Dharma is 155.52 Trillion Years (50 years of Brahma) old.
The current date
Currently, 50 years of Brahma have elapsed. The last Kalpa at the end of 50th year is called Padma Kalpa. 2/n
We are currently in the first 'day' of the 51st year.
This Brahma's day, Kalpa, is named as Shveta-Varaha Kalpa. Within this Day, six Manvantaras have already elapsed
and this is the seventh Manvantara, named as –
3/n
Vaivasvatha Manvantara (or Sraddhadeva Manvantara). Within the Vaivasvatha Manvantara, 27 Mahayugas
(4 Yugas together is a Mahayuga), and the Krita,
Treta and Dwapara Yugas of the 28th Mahayuga have elapsed. This Kaliyuga is in the 28th Mahayuga.
4/n
This Kaliyuga began in the year 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian Calendar.
Since 50 years of Brahma have already elapsed, this is the second Parardha, also called as Dvithiya Parardha.
The time elapsed since the current Brahma has taken over the task of creation can be calculated
432000 × 10 × 1000 × 2 = 8.64 billion years (2 Kalpa (day and night) )
8.64 × 10^9× 30 × 12 = 3.1104 Trillion Years (1 year of Brahma)
3.1104 × 10^12× 50 = 155.52 Trillion Years (50 years of Brahma)
6/n
(6 × 71 × 4320000 ) + 7 × 1.728 × 10^6 = 1852416000 years elapsed in first six Manvataras, and Sandhi Kalas in the current Kalpa
27 × 4320000 = 116640000 years elapsed in first 27 Mahayugas of the current Manvantara
7/n
1.728 × 10^6 + 1.296 × 10^6 + 864000 = 3888000 years elapsed in current Mahayuga
3102 + 2016 = 5118 years elapsed in current Kaliyuga.
The current Kali Yuga began at midnight 17 February / 18 February in 3102 BCE.
