WARANGAL, INDIA, Feb 12 (VNN) — Mysterious Sunken City Found Near

Surat

 

Could the recent discovery of a sunken city off the Northwest Coast

of India near Surat revolutionize our concept of history? Michael A.

Cremo, historian of archeology and author of Forbidden Archeology,

claims that all the history textbooks would have to be rewritten if

this ancient find proves to be of Vedic origin. Radiocarbon testing

of a piece of wood from the underwater site yielded an age of 9,500

years, making it four thousand years older than earliest cities now

recognized.

 

According to Cremo, "The ancient Sanskrit writings of India speak of

cities existing on the Indian subcontinent in very primeval times.

Although historians tend to dismiss such accounts as mythological,

these new discoveries promise to confirm the old literary accounts."

A leading authority on anomalous archeological evidence, Michael

Cremo is currently touring Indian universities and cultural

institutions to promote the release of The Hidden History of the

Human Race, the abridged Indian edition of Forbidden Archeology

(Torchlight Publishing 1993). Asserting the recent find may be just

the first step, he says, "It is likely that even older discoveries

will follow."

 

The cultural identity of the people who inhabited the underwater city

is as yet unknown.

 

Most historians believe that Sanskrit-speaking people entered the

Indian subcontinent about 3,500 years ago, from Central Asia. Other

historians accept India itself as the original home of Sanskrit-

speaking people, whose lifestyle is termed Vedic culture because

their lives were regulated by a body of literature called the Vedas.

 

The case of the mysterious sunken city near Surat may offer further

definitive proof to support the ancient origins of man described in

Cremo's controversial bestseller Forbidden Archeology. With over

200,000 copies in print in a dozen languages, Forbidden Archeology

documents scientific evidence suggesting that modern man has existed

for millions of years.
