2. Lemuria

The earth where we live was not as we see today in the past. It has changed it's water and land portions several times.

There was no Arabian sea or Bay of Bengal or Indian ocean as we see today in ancient days. There was a big land portion below the southern tip of India. That land portion spread upto 250 Kilometers on south. Also it extended upto Madagascar on west and Borneo island on east. It may be a surprise to know that there was no Himalayas. (There is no reference about Himalayas in Hindu Vedas). Himalayas was under the sea. Fossils of sea living insects were said to be found on Himalayan rocks.

Since there were many Lemurs (A kind of monkey), this land portion was called as Lemuria. It is also called as 'Kumari Kandam' in Tamil language.

Eventhough the world research scholars have not yet confirmed the existence of Lemuria, there are many references in Tamil literatures as evidence to accept this fact.

We understood from the references that the people in this region were speaking in Tamil. 'Silappadhikaram' and 'Purananuru' are the two ancient Tamil literatures where there are references about Lemuria. There are evidences to tell that Tamil was the spoken language through out India on olden days.

Tribal in Australia are still speaking a language which is very close to Tamil. In a recent Tamil conference, one Korean scholar spoke that his language is having many Tamil words. It is not necessary to tell that Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Thulu and few other Indian languages are the sister languages to Tamil.

It was established few years before that the DNA test on the present Tamil community people confirms with the oldest human skeleton found at an African forest. This again partly confirms the connection of land portion between present India and Africa (Lemuria continent).      

The above literatures refer to the erosion of this land portion by the sea. During first erosion, Africa was separated from India. Then, Australia, Ceylon, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other land portions were separated during consecutive erosions. We are understanding few more informations also from those literatures.

1. There were 49 nations (Nadu) in Lemuria.

2. There was a big mountain running from south east to north west.

3. There was a river with a name 'Pahruli aru'.

4. There was a place called 'Kabadapuram', where a Tamil academy started. It consists of 48 Tamil scholars who were judging the merits of new literatures. This place drowned first. Most of the people and their literatures perished.

5. The second Tamil academy was established at a place called 'Madurai' (Not the present). This place also eroded by sea. Again many people and their literatures drowned.

  The third academy was established during second century B.C. at the present Madurai.

It is understood that the escaped people from this Lemuria have migrated to various areas in the north. One such group went upto England. Their lineage still living in England as tribal and called themselves as 'Aryans'.

Exodus continues.
