The following scenario is attractive, as supported by famous researcher Graham Johnson.

Before the last ice-age ended around 10000bce there was a progenitor or Atlantean civilization whose coastal cities were submerged by sea levels rising 130 metres with the melting waters and which are seen in many world regions including off the Gujarat coast at Dwarka, Krishna’s capital.

This civilization understood the timeless philosophical thought of India and used Sanskrit, the language of nature with its correspondence between sound and thought; after its decline the main retainer and guardian of Altantean culture for whatever reason was India.

This also equates with the four Indian yuga time periods taken as around 2700 years with the oldest being the most spiritually developed. Thus the various Indo-Aryan arguments are explained by Sanskrit indeed coming from India when India is seen as Altantis yet it also had direct influences in Europe from its previous widespread use.

Photos by me of Dwarka, its Krishan temple and the sea where the ruins are-

Greetings,

Do you mean Graham Hancock and his 2003 Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization?

Hello folks, yes Gujarat is an interesting place with several IVC sites including Lothal where I managed to get to; thanks for asking.

The state isn't as colourful as some and it reminded me of the more monochrome feel to Pakistan, where I've also been in pursuit of the IVC.

Graham Hancock is a great non-mainstream British thinker and his ideas are always inspiring.

Namaste.

Very nice pictures, indeed! =)

A few years ago, I heard they found Ancient Dwarka (a few years too late, mind you).

Now, to the topic at hand.

How I think Sanskrit originated was from a 'Common World Language' which can be found engraved on stones in both Mohenjo -Daro in the Indus Valley and also in South America. It is called the Brahmi Script.

Over the Milllennia, this became more stylised and spread throughout the North of the Indian subcontinent, then down through Asia to Indonesia.

Yes, the language could have been used by Atlanteans at the time as well (even though my latest guesstimates places Atlantis about 1km under the South Pole ice cap OR in the middle of the Mediterranean).

Aum Namah Shivaya

Namaste,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts; the step well is simply beautiful, I am inspired by these creations, having learnt a little of their function in a system of water management; both beautiful and practical.

Here is Ptolemy's world map depicting a Hellenist view, I found this to be simply fascinating:

Are the Himalayas perhaps, blocking the view?

Kind regards.
