Adam's Bridge, The oldest bridge

Adam's Bridge
Adam's Bridge, or Rama's Bridge is often called one of the "Mysterious Places in the World's" is a chain of artificial limestone (it is not a natural events) between the islands of Mannar, northwestern Sri Lanka and Rameswaram, on the southeastern coast of India. Hindus believe this bridge built by Rama incarnation of Lord Vishnu to rescue the abducted Sita to Lanka by Ravana, as written in the Ramayana. Many of the inscriptions, coins, old wanderer guide, reference the old, ancient religious map indicates this structure is considered sacred by Hindus.Mysterious ancient bridge along 18 miles (30 km) which connects between Manand Island (Sri Lanka) and Pamban Island (India) is estimated has aged one million years.

The bridge, named "Vanara Sena" or the NASA called it Adam's Bridge reap a wide range of estimates related to age and history of the bridge.Hindus believe Adam's Bridge is closely related to the Ramayana epic in which the mentioned bridge built by Rama and his allies, the ape-man, who helped the Gods to help Rama to reach Sri Lanka to rescue his wife, Shinta, the giant king, Ravana.While Sri Lanka Archaeology Department said Adam Bridges ages ranging from 1 to 2 million years. While archaeologists and geologists as well as the Team's Center for Remote Sensing, which examined the bridge concluded that Adam's Bridge is only a natural phenomenon that was only about 3,500 years ago.Even so, the NASA issued a commentary to the contrary. That there is no strong evidence that Adam's Bridge made by humans but merely a natural group of islands forming a chain. Even Nasa has said that by using Remote Sensing and imaging from space does not provide information about the originality and age of the bridge. It added there was no evidence of human presence in the vicinity (subcontinent) India more than 350,000 years ago.

The image of Rama Brige itself very easily visible from above sea level because it was not too deep, lasting only as deep flooded approximately 1.2 meters (if the sea water is receding).The status of the bridge they will be remains a mystery until today, according to the interpretation of the experts, it is estimated may Rama Bridge is closely associated with the famous Indian epic, Ramayana.Srilankan Archaeology Department has issued a statment which mentions age Rama Bridge may range between one million to two million years, but whether this bridge is completely formed by nature or man is a masterpiece that they can not explain.SUDeraniyagala, Director General of Archaeology of Sri Lanka which is also the author of "Early Man and the Rise of Civilization in Sri Lanka: the Archaeological Evidence" said that human civilization has appeared in Foot Himalayas approximately 2,000,000 years ago, although according to the historian of civilization The earliest civilization of India is a nation on land Ca, it is not a guarantee that there is a much older civilization than they were before.



Scholars considerate that perhaps this ancient bridge built after the Indian mainland Sri Lanka separated by millions of years ago.In the epic Ramayana, the bridge was built by the ape-man army under the supervision Rama.the point of its own development is as a place of crossing into the country on a mission to rescue Alengka Shinta Dewi, at which time Dewi Sinta in this time of his abduction by the King of the Kingdom of Alengka, namely Ravana.

From the facts there is no doubt that there is a way to reach to SriLanka from India. But the question is, Is it a completely natural phenomenon or a man made structure. It is found that It is an array of limestone. Now the question remains is, is it possible that there exists an array of limestone that can be 18 km long which can be a natural phenomenon. If the answer is yes, there must be a limestone bed somewhere on the planet which can even be greater than 18 kms. Joining of land can be a random event as well. Now will it be wise to bring certain characters in to picture as long as one does not know if the writings were preexisting or the bridge was. If the writing is preexisting then the bridge is formed/made later, if the Bridge is preexisting the writings are made later. If the writings are latter, One can also not remove the possibility that writing are made after observing the existence of the limestone bridge.


Let the darkness of ignorance and bias be removed, Let every individual think logically and intellectually.

thanks for the facts :-)

Well anonymous the largest tombolo in Britain is 500 km. (Chesil Beach which is 30 km long is a barrier beach and not a tombolo).

Wikipedia has a list of tombolos 50 notable without lengths. Look up each length and calculate the average and standard deviation (you can use Excel). If Rama is more than 10 standard deviations from the mean you can say its not a tombolo via statistical analysis. Even if you were to show it is not a tombolo that doesn't mean it isn't another natural formation. How come nobody has any pictures of its blocks?
