very interesting indeed.

also i have heard of a place somewhere in the middle of the jungles where scientists suspect an ancient nuke was set off as nothing has grown there for as far back as anybody can remember and there is still to this day higher than normal levels of background radiation. there are some sri lankans that know of the place but most locals in city have forgotten the ancient past.
also there is a point at Adams peak (which i have not been to myself but know countless people who have) where if you stand there are sunset it casts a perfect triangular shadow over the land. it looks like a giant pyramid.

Im thinking the flood happened globally because the "great flood" legend of swallowed mountains can be found all around the world. But that leg end about "Adams Bridge" did make me scratch my head...

Its a good thread and I am surprised at the above information. But there is a temple in Rameswaram called 'Gandhamadana Parvatham'- where it is said that Lord Ram stood and 'watched' Lanka before he actually built the bridge. The place now holds a temple with this foot print model and one of my elderly relatives(my uncle) was a priest on that temple a while back. Your information is somehow similar to this one.
Good philosophy in life to live by. Karma that is.

If you look and the peak opening of the island there is an underwater canal that has been submerged.The bridge runs from 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock
Predating them (Han Chinese, Japanese) and today reduced to around 2% of Taiwan’s population are the so-called Taiwanese aborigines, tribal groups like the Saisiyat who speak (increasingly, spoke) Austronesian languages. Though the chronology remains in dispute, linguistic as well as genetic and archeological evidence points to Taiwan as the Urheimat of this (Negrito) family — the root of a many-forked tree of tongues lolling from Madagascar to Hawaii and Easter Island.
