How old is our civilization? While historians give diverse views with many not going beyond 5000 years of evidenced history, what do the following evidences prove? 19000 years? 35000 years? 75000 years? Or beyond this? #Thread1

Irony that West and even Wikipedia shows 1500 BCE as start of Vedic era! And they don’t consider Ramayana and Mahabharata events as History!

Going by a mix of literary, epigraphical, inscriptional, astronomical calculations from the scriptures and epics... #Thread2

....we have recorded history dating back to at least 15000-19000 years. And archaeological evidences with carbon dated artefacts prove this to beyond 75000 years. Let’s delve in gist on the archaeo evidences: #Thread3

1.350 archaeological remains claimed to be 50,000 years old were excavated from Mehtakhedi village of Narmada valley. Another discovery of the “only human fossil skull in Asia” believed to be 600,000 to 700,000 years old in Narmada valley surprised the world. #Thread4

2.Bhimbetka Caves, spread across 10 kms and housing 750 rockshelters, have evidences of paintings and human habitation that date back from 3,000 to 1 lakh years. A Nataraja painting here dates back to Mesolithic era, i.e. beyond 20,000 years. #Thread5

3.Foreign scientists proved Ram Setu to b man-made n carbon dated it to around 6000 BCE, ie. At least 8000 years old.

4.Under-sea findings led to discovery of the ancient city of Dwarka and of remains of more ancient habitation that dates back from 4000 to 12000 years

5.Saraswati and Indus river valley excavations led to discovery of artefacts dating back from 3000 to 9000 years. Genetic evidence (DNA analysis on 5000 year old human skeleton) from Indus Valley rakhigarhi site reinforces 'Out of India' theory #Thread7

and proves Aryan Invasion/Migration theory false not to mention many other evidences that prove this theory as fake. DNA analysis also proved North and South India inhabitants were one, not as per the modern ‘divide and rule’ theory/policy. #Thread8

6.Edakkal caves Kerala have archaeological evidences of a civilization that flourished in this region 8000 years ago. Part of the carvings have a link with Indus Valley civilization.

7.A 2500-3000 year old habitat under a 110 acres of coconut plantation...
#Thread9

- an entire civilization claimed to be as big as Harappa/Mohenjodaro was excavated at Keeladi, Tamil Nadu.

8.Excavations at Asurgarh Fort Odisha led to discovery of artefacts/structures that prove flourishing of a 2300 year old advanced civilization in Odisha.
#Thread10

Houses/streets were tiled, excellent water management techniques followed, and more evidences found. Same evidences also found in Saraswati/Indus belt.

List goes on. Now, what do u have to say about the antiquity of our civilization and of our civilizational identity?
