Ancient Indian metropolis predating #Harappan found submerged in Bay of Cambay 27 km off shore. Most of the artefacts found predates ice age as per Graham Cock. The lost city is 5x3 miles #Archaeology
#1
During ice age, the water levels were 140 meters lower and shorelines were deeper. The flood story seems to be true with this new discovery. During of sea shore, may be the prime reason for ice age people to move northwards. #Archaeology
#2
The other reason supporting the theory was rise in temperature by 8 degrees as Northern part of India became warmer. Surprisingly, house mouse migration to rest of the world 12kybp also substantiates this theory. #Archaeology
Discoveries at Gulf of Cambay had many similarities to the CITADEL, GREAT BATH and grid-iron pattern habitation sites grannery, etc. of the #Harappan civilization.
Dwarka could be missing link between harappan and it's its mother creators.

Sonar image of a Bathing Facility similar to Harappan 41x25 meters
#5
Basement of a major structure on a high ground 200mx45m
#6
A Granary with dimensions 190mx85m was found during sonography
#7
Buried settlement of 74 x 48m structure. Here also man made foundations like column can be clearly seen emerging from below the seabed and occur as standout features. Foundations have been dug up to 3-4 m deep in the soil.
#8
Long walls submerged in deep waters
#9
This piece of potshred is dated oldest than any fired object in the world
#10
A paleo channel to the North was also found active during 19500 ybp to 3000 ybp.

1️⃣ The first diamond ever touched by human hands came from Indian soil. Golconda mines, 4th century BCE. We didn't dig for profit. We picked them from riverbeds like pebbles. 💎
Then someone realized they could own what the earth gave freely.
2️⃣ 1600s: Golconda diamonds weighed 23 million carats annually. The world's entire supply. Tavernier documented it. Shah Jahan embedded them in the Peacock Throne.
We controlled brilliance itself.
3️⃣ 1739: Nadir Shah walks into Delhi. Walks out with the Kohinoor and the Peacock Throne. Combined worth? Impossible to calculate. The throne alone held 26,733 gems.
You already know that for over 2,000 years, Indian smiths forged steel so sharp it cut European swords in half. So resilient it became legend across continents.
By 1900, those same smiths were classified as backward. Primitive. Incapable of innovation.
What happened between? 🧠⚔️ You don't know!!

Step 1: Extract the technique
Indian wootz steel arrived in British laboratories in 1795. Samples were analysed, chemical compositions documented, papers published in the Royal Society. The steel was credited to "Eastern origin." The smiths who forged it? Unnamed. Untraced. Irrelevant.
The technique was extracted. The technician was erased.

Step 2: Disrupt the ecosystem
Wootz steel required specific forests for charcoal, particular ores, seasonal smelting cycles. Colonial forest laws between 1855–1878 criminalized wood collection, turned smelting zones into "reserved land," cut access to raw materials.
The furnaces went cold. Not because knowledge disappeared, but because resources were locked behind permits the smiths couldn't obtain.
1/ When artefacts disappear from protected monuments, the response is usually administrative.
Files are opened, reports are written, and records are updated.
By the time this happens, the loss has already occurred much earlier.
2/ Many antiquities under protection are still incompletely catalogued, irregularly verified, or stored without consistent physical security.
In such cases, legal custody exists on paper, but effective control on the ground is weak or absent.
3/ Once local community presence was removed from many sites, informal and continuous surveillance disappeared with it.
As a result, losses are often discovered only years later, during audits or inspections, when recovery is no longer realistic.
