Talk:Kumari Kandam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've just redirected Kumari kandam (lowercase) here. It contained the same barely legible and at times incoherent text inserted here by 61.247.245.72 (talk • contribs), which I've also reverted. If someone more patient and knowledgeable is able to extract additional information from that, feel free to check the history. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 15:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I made some minor modifications in this page today. Very, very little is really known about the legend and lots of additions have been made over the millennia, but I think I have managed to modify or add a bit to what was here before.

I have removed the reference to tamilguardian.co.uk. This was a literal hoax by the 'great' Graham Hancock and the single irregular, shapeless structure off the coast of Poompuhar has been proven to be a natural rock formation by conventional oceanographers more than three years back. Numerous such structures have been found all over Asia, Africa, Europe and North America at similar and even greater depths.

[edit] Myth vs fact

Kumari Kandam is a myth. Claims about it are unverifiable (not merely unverified). I have added the OR tag to it, since unverifiable content is considered Wikipedia:OR. Discuss here if you disagree.-- ॐ Kris 07:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Kumari Kandam is a myth. And the myth has been explained according to what is available in the epics Cilappatikaram and Manimekalai. In fact, the article starts out by indicating that it is a 'legendary' landmass. As long as the subject is notable, and the article is clear in indicating that it is a myth, I think it's fine. Are we going to purge WP of all articles related to myths?

Also, I think what is in the article is mostly what is in the epics (except for the map etc). So, I don't see why the article was tagged with OR. --Madhu 17:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Section on Atlantis moved here from article page

South of the World was very important because there did live people who did build great civilization and contributed to bring their knowledge in the upper parts of the world. The most mysterious name that comes in mind is Atlantis (Atlan Island).

ATLANTIS which the whole world was looking for so long is the Land of Atlan or Atlas, the Sun Land that was located in the South Asia. Which big island is still in that part of the world now? AUSTRALIA. There is even the name Atlas (inside it) still.There were many islands around the big Island. Some of them are still around now. From that beautiful part of the World the Paradise Civilization has moved and rebuild in many other parts of the world like Asia, Africa, Europe, and Americas. For that we have so many similarities in all the old civilizations that were build to copy the Highest Civilization of the Golden Age which was in Atlantis. For that many people have planted in their mind the Lost Paradise idea. But we are not that lost. Atlantis lives and we find it still in the remains of the Southernlands; Australia, New Zeland and many islands around it as far as the Pacific Ocean. After the Natural Destraction maany of the Atlantians were relocated. That is the reason that the Atlantian "models" did show later everywhere in Europe, Americas, Asia and Africa. India and Somalia, Iran and Egypt, Greece and Italy is the main direction of these great people (superhumans)who did move from the Lost South Civilization to other lands where they created new civilizations. There were other direction of their move up to Asia and Americas. This red, olive skin people did contact with other white, yellow and black race people and they did changed them and their life. But after many years pass and many of the people of the Sunland did forget their past. But never they lost their contact with the Southern World. Did Phonicians and Egyptians later go to Atlantis; Autralia and other islands? Yes they did and not just them but everyone who still knew where has come from or knew that there was a big island somewhere in the south. And they did go there and visit from different directions, from the Mediterain sea, passing around Africa or direct from the Dead sea and Asia. Australia was the land of the Giants too and this round continet was called Sunland. Its red skin people did mixed with Asians and Africans and Europeans to come back again one day as a mixed race to the Land where the Golden Age's knowledge has come from.
