Now Kerala Points to Harappan Civilization

KERALA, INDIA, September 29, 2009: A rock engraving, indicating clear remnants of Harappan culture, has been found in the Edakkal caves in neighboring Wayanad district, linking the Indus Valley civilization with South India.

“There had been indications of remnants akin to the Indus Valley civilization in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, but these new findings give credence to the fact that the Harappan civilization had its presence in the region too and could trace the history of Kerala even beyond the Iron Age,” historian M.R. Raghava Varier said.

The unique symbols integral to the Indus Valley culture traced in Harappa and Mohanjedaro region that stretched upto Pakistan, were found inside the caves during recent excavations by the State Archaeological Department.

Of the identified 429 signs, one was “a man with jar cup”, a symbol unique to the Indus civilization and other compound letters testified to remnants of the Harappan culture, spanning from 2300 BC to 1700 BC, in South India.

  1. The Harappan Culture is nothing but the Vedic culture. This has been proved time & time again by various researches. And now with the Aryan-Dravidian divide being debunked for good by the international community, the truth is finally coming out. These artefacts from the Harappan area being found in various parts of the country is not surprising at all since Southern India for long has been very closely associated with Vedic culture. Material evidence is now proving what was true all along. Also the "Indus civilization" (read the Vedic civilization) was far more developed than we could imagine, and spread from Afghanistan and Babylonia in the West to almost the banks of the Ganga in the East, and almost uptil the southern tip of the peninsula down South. The time frame given here (2300 to 1700 BC) is absolutely erronous, as the Saraswati and its tributary, Drishadvati, dried up c. 2600 BC, symbolising the end of the Vedic civilization and the beginning of the Kaliyuga. This is also the time of the end of the battle of Kurukshetra, as well as the sinking of the original Dwaraka (Bet-Dwaraka today); in other words the end of the Dwapara Yuga. The dates given here subscribe to the old Orientalist view of the Aryan Invasion.

  4. Temples are the beautiful place for tourist to spend a peaceful time. You can visit and experience the peace of mind with your family from Nashik during this weekend. You can plan this place easily and visit some more beautiful temple during the trip of Kerala.
