Who lived in Dwaraka, the world's oldest settlement?

I am producing an article by an eminent Indologist, Dr. Kalyanaraman on Dwaraka finds. For those unaware, recently, Indian geologists discovered a 9000 year old settlement complex off the coast of Gujarat. Hindus believe that to be Lord Krishna's city. Read on:

 

By Dr. Kalyanaraman:

 

I suggest two hypotheses for consideration and further validation in the context of the finds of a neolithic settlement submerged in the Gulf of Khambat:

 

1. That this neolithic settlement is a precursor to the Sarasvati Sindhu Valley CIvilization, exemplified by the stone structures at Dholavira, in the Gulf of Kutch.

 

2. That this neolithic settlement is relatable to the bharu-kaks.a described in the Great Epic, the Maha_bha_rata and to R.s.i Bhr.gu and his lineage described in the R.gveda (yes, R.s.i Bhr.gu, the

preceptor of the asura-s; were they mleccha-s speaking Meluhhan?).

 

The hypotheses are elaborated in the folowing two pages which collate and evaluate the marine archaeological and textual evidence:

 

1. Bhr.gu, va_run.i, son of Varun.a: Provenance of Bhr.gu: Gulf of Khambat http://www.hindunet.org/saraswati/khambat/bhrgu01.htm

 

2. Submerged city in the Gulf of Khambat: neolithic precursor of the Sarasvati Sindhu Valley Civilization

I'm real interested in these new findings. If it is proven that these cities are over 9000 years old that will be monumental. There is a former reporter for The Economist of London named Graham Hancock who has written some interesting things about ancient civilizations. His most famous book is called "Fingerprints of the Gods". One thing that he tries to prove is that the Sphynx and pyramids are like 10,500 years old. Everyone said no way since civilization is only 5000 years old. If that date barrier is discarded, then a whole lot of other dates may go the way side as well. Should be interesting.

The programs I’ve seen with Graham Hancock have always been very interesting. He seems reasonable enough, but I have found some of his explanations a bit too circumstantial. One point that he continually makes is that many of the great structures of the world are mapping a certain constellation. Whether it is the pyramids, stone henge, or Inca ruins. Still, the most they show is a computer simulation of the movement of stars, and that these match some of the layouts of these structures. All of these maps come out to a constellation setup that would only occur like 10,500 years ago. Its an interesting theory, but since I have zero knowledge of star movements, I’m kind of left with only his side of the story. Still, like I said, he does present some interesting points, and comes across as rather intelligent (must be the English accent).

First of all, the Indus Valley civilization is inaccurately and prematurely dubbed Sarasvati Sindhu...

Now claiming that this settlement to over 9000 years old is another insanne rush towards custodianship.

Claiming that it is an Aryan Vedic civilization is something that is absurd, unless proved..
