A few things about this seem curious.
1. Seems like more news outlets would've picked up on a story like this.
2. How could this bridge not have been discovered before? Our satellites have been going around the earth for decades now.
3. How could they determine the date?
4. If it were so old, where does this fit into a timeline concerning other ancient origin stories. It seems to be way off, even by Sumerian accounts, where the Sumerians had several kings who lived and ruled for thousands of years each, before the Deluge.

Well, we are finding amazingly old traces and artifacts all the time, Cotes777. Like the hidden cities and pyramids recently showing up in satellite imagery of the Amazon. Concerning this 'bridge' I've not seen either Archeological confirmation it's manmade yet though, nor any dating. From many hours glued to Discovery Channel docs a memory lingered concerning the Sanskrit/Hindu holy writings containing a tradition of 2 million years of human history. 1,750,000 years Before Present would fit right in there I suppose. The westernized understanding of History measures some 12,000 yrs BP. The oldest modern human finds have been dated merely 350,000 old. Perhaps our Indian friends know (and remember) something we don't? purr |

Hi Purr - The past to me is the greatest of mysteries, when it comes to humans and earthly matters. One or more cataclysms have occurred to humans in the past and has left us with virtual amnesia as a species. There are many gaps in time concerning a Biblical timeline. I do not mean to say that there are errors or flaws, but to say that the Bible skims over many things. This skimming over includes long periods of time between events as well as skimming over entire detailed histories of other civilizations [such as the Hittites], making them side references. Because of this, it is difficult for me to understand how many fellow Christians over a variety of denominations have such a strict and rigid view of past events as described in the Bible. It is actually very open. The only thing I can think of concerning tight-knit views are due to a worry over any outside pagan type doctrine creep in. Common sense here should prevail and it should be understood these are not doctrinal issues, but ideas and thoughts from not only our viewpoint but from other civilizations and cultures from around the world who may have different beliefs, but still share information concerning historical events concerning humans and earthly matters. To understand other culture's history we must understand where they are coming from. This includes not only geographical location but belief systems as well. Looking at the Sumerians view of our solar system's creation, we would need to understand that they viewed some of their "gods" turned into the planets. Interestingly enough, one of their "gods" [planet] was killed by another [planet] and was destroyed. Today we can see that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter was likely another planet at one time but it got thrown off its course and destroyed by Jupiter. Jupiter, to the Sumerians could have been Niribu. This is one of the viewpoints anyways. But the point is; different cultures means different ways of describing perhaps some of the same events. Like you were saying Purr, the Indians and those of the Indus Valley have a very old accounting. It is very interesting, but also vast.  |
