Manvantara cycles and the history of the earth

[Guest guest]

Vedic texts extensively described the nature and the universe.

Scientific relevance of most of the descriptions is not yet clear.

Common view of these ancient thoughts is that they are mere myths.

These ancient thoughts were stamped as myths on the basis of 17th or

18th century understanding of the nature. Science progressed

exponentially in the later centuries. If we analyze the ancient

concepts in view of the latest developments in science, we find

extraordinary significance of these concepts to the science; at least

in the case of Manvantara cycles.

 

Manvantara cycles are not a mere myth. These are the Supercontinent

cycles occurring on the surface of the Earth from 2800 Million years

ago. Since then, six Supercontinent cycles were completed and the

present is the seventh cycle. Each Supercontinental period begins

with a rise in the sea level. Ancient texts also described about the

past six Manvantara cycles and mentioned the present as the seventh

cycle. The cause of the Supercontinent cycles also appears to be the

revolution of the solar system around the galactic center as

mentioned in the ancient texts. The understanding of the

Supercontinent cycle requires the knowledge of the interior of the

earth as well as the movement of the celestial bodies. From these

observations, ancient cultures appear to be intellectually developed

as early as the Bronze Age. It is difficult to perceive the

achievement of Bronze Age people with the present understanding of

the human evolution.

 

Ancient Hebrew texts also described the Adam as crossing the oceans

between the seven earths. Oceans between the ancient earths appear to

be the global deluge occurred in the beginning of each Supercontinent

cycle. All the seven Manus, Adam, Noah and the Ark appear to be the

symbol of life and its struggle through the Supercontinent cycles.

Instead of criticizing the ancient concepts as baseless on the

present understanding of the science, it is better to describe them

without any preconceptions for the outside world. Social and cultural

subjects should act as a bridge between the science and the ancient

thoughts. Developments in science may lead to the realization of

these ancient concepts or the ancient concepts themselves may guide

the science towards better understanding of the nature.

similarities to the ancient global deluge.

Manusmr`ti declares that uncountable manvantara-s have

passed since creation (ch. 1, verse 80). So, the 14

manvantara-s as the lifespan of earth has no basis.

Also, the 6 manvantara-s and the present manvantara

are in the present kalpa (of 14 manvantara-s) wherein

human race started and is flourishing. Previous

kalpa-s had other species dominating earth. Thus the

notions of floods between kalpa-s seem to be

imaginations.

 

Some stars in Milkyway are believed to be 16-18

billion years old. So, the 2 billion year age of the

universe does not fit.

 

Expanding universe(static universe model) is a joke in

Vedic cosmology.

 

If the supercontinental cycles are connected to

manvantara-s, why are they cyclic in time?

 

 

Neeman[1] has demonstrated with Monte-Carlo tests

that,

given enough parameters, tuning procedures can

successfully match data to an incorrect model,

resulting in an incorrect timescale as well as in a

false validation of the model. This applies to the

intellect of Indology/eurocentric mindset.
