Indic chronology starts from Skanda who lived before Vaivasvata Manu. Legends of Vishakha, Deva Senapati & Shura samhara reveal hidden facts on cataclysmic events from sky & volcanoes witnessed in SE Asia. Bali & Tiruchendur part of his story
Skanda's time deduced from climatic records found in birth legends given in Valmiki Ramayana & Kalidasa's Kumara Sambhava. He lived at the start of Younger Dryas, 12k years ago. Rama and others coming after Manu are after this date only.
Skanda's times marked end of an epoch, of a cycle of eccentricity when earth came to the present near circular orbit. Abhijit (Vega) part of the zodiac in the past was found left out of the zodiac. Skanda re-designed the zodiac as a result.
Skanda performed 1st Vedic Homa by offering oblations to Agni with utterance of 'Svaha'. This was regarded as marriage of Svaha-Agni conducted by Skanda. 6 works done by Skanda were represented by 6 faces of which middle one guards Homa.
Skanda's existence during 'Younger Dryas' is corroborated by Tamil Sangam references on duration of 3 sangam ages given by Nakkeerar. Per that Skanda started 1st Sangam around 10,190 BCE /12,190 BP. This is within Younger Dryas duration.
