Continuing the spirit of trying to connect philosophy, history and science in an endeavour to understand and separate early history and myth I and two of my mates Siddhartha and Shaounak have been discussing interesting issues. For example, why is it that every civilization has its origins connected to a massive flood. Be it Indian mythology or the Biblical accounts , are they all referring to same catastrophe. Or are the time periods being talked about are different. Further all these myths have a common theme in terms of lone survivors of different species. So question that arises is are the Biblical figures and Manu in Hindu mythology same with differences in interpretation or are they two different remnants of an erstwhile civilization that was well developed. This assumption would be of course possible only if the two floods being mentioned are one and the same. Continuing this line of inquiry could it be possible that, what these survivors of pre-historic civilizations carried with them was not just some animals but also sources of knowledge in the form of books or some other communicable form. That would mean that those knowledge sources could construe the ultimate knowledge lost to humankind. Is it possible that the Hindu vedas are nothing but a portion of that exquisite knowledge that was being passed by the survivors to the next generations. If all this is true that would mean that there is a body of knowledge that was somehow saved during floods but scattered across the world, which could together help us construct our early history prior to last ice age. The existence of sophisticated civilization prior to ice-age may not be completely wrong, bringing us to the idea of a possible lost world like Atlantis.
