Wow this is so cool. I know I am delving into mythology, but they say underwater explorations are being carried out near Gujarat as well to hunt for Krishna’s Dwarika which had apparently sunk after his death. Ppl say that a few artifacts that corroborate with that era hv also been found. I don’t know how far it is true, but all this sounds exciting.

I know... I have been hearing this story forever now but for some odd reason no one has ever come up with anything concrete about Dwarka!!

Something came of off the shore some years ago....which was more likely to be connected to indus valley civilization or something even older.....
butit went into oblivion due to our charactaristic apathy and ignorance towards our own heritage

Discovered in 1981, the well-fortified township of Dwarka extended more than half a mile from the shore and was built in six sectors along the banks of a river before it became submerged. The findings are of immense cultural and religious importance to India.

If a fraction of the funds spent on land archeology were made available for under-water archaeology, more light could be thrown on Dwarka, which had much archeological signifi-cance because it was built during the second urbanization that occurred in India after the Indus Valley civilization in northwestern India.

Dwarka’s existence disproves the belief held by Western archeologists that there was no urbanization in the Indian subcontinent from the period between 1700 B.C. (Indus Valley) and 550 B.C. (advent of Buddhism). As no information was available about that period, they had labeled it the Dark Period.

Are the looking to find traces of Atlantis? That’s exciting. The good thing is they can stumble upon something totally unknown. All the great archaeological discoveries have been serendipitous encounters by fortunate travelers. Let’s hope they do the same.

@Nithya

Thanks a lot for the info.......Definitely there can’t be such a long Dark period...The epics must have a historical basis which must have happened in this period...

The Caribbean is a must-visit destination for scuba divers from around the globe. It’s awesome when I hear about underwater explorations because most of the times the finds are break taking. A lot of unknown species are discovered from time to time; let’s hope we find something just like that over here too.
