Recent Indian archeological find could rewrite history:

Mysterious sunken city found near Surat

 

WARANGAL, India – Could the recent discovery of a sunken city off the

Northwest Coast of India near Surat revolutionize our concept of history?

Michael A. Cremo (aka Drutakarma Dasa), 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. He recently

attended a meeting of ranking Indian governmental officials at which Murli

Monohar Joshi, Minister for Science and Technology, confirmed the

archeological find by an Indian oceanographic survey team. 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.
