Fossils Confirm Saraswati's Histrocity

[Guest guest]

Light on Ancient River Life

By Soni Sinha

 

An elephant fossil found in Rajasthan desert has drawn the attention

of historians who say it could provide vital clues to the existence

of the mythological river Saraswati. The discovery was made on the

Nagaur-Bikaner road, 350 km from Jaipur."Carbon dating in the fossil

would be the most important evidence in this connection," said B S

Paliwal, the man behind the discovery. "The findings will soon be

submitted to scientific journals."

 

The fossil in Rajasthan, the land of the Thar desert, indicates that

the region was once rich in biodiversity. Paliwal claims this is the

first time an elephant fossil has been found there.

 

Ram Singh Solanki, president of Itihaas Sankalan Samiti, or the

Organisation of Historical Evidence, said the discovery was yet

another proof that the Vedic river Saraswati once flowed in what is

today the Thar region.

 

"Evidence suggests that the Saraswati-Sindhu civilisation flourished

in an area of nearly 1.3 million sq km. "Investigations on the fossil

are important as it could throw light on the development of the human

civilisation, besides having a bearing on Indian history," said

Solanki. Numerous signatures of paleo-channels in the form of

curvilinear and meandering courses were revealed. IANS
