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.
