> Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in  
> the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently  
> discovered bridge currently named as Adam´s Bridge is made of chain  
> of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.
>
> The bridge´s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that  
> it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal  
> that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to  
> the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge´s age  
> is also almost equivalent.
>
> This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the  
> mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken  
> place in tredha yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).
>
> In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built  
> between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the  
> supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is  
> supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.
>
> This information may not be of much importance to the archeologists  
> who are interested in exploring the origins of man, but it is sure  
> to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come  
> to know an ancient history linked to the Indian mythology.
