Hinduism is a religion that existed in Ancient Times alongside the Egyptian religion and is still existing and thriving. Hindu mythology is therefore our key to understanding the level of scientific development, lifestyle and social behavior of the Ancient humans. Luckily for us, Hindu mythology provides this information in great details. Hindu mythology is our window into the Ancient world as it existed, as well as their understanding of the world around them. While the stories of the Ancient times are still intact in Hindu Mythology, over the years we seem to have lost the perspective in which these stories were told. Here, one by one we will untie the knots and understand this lost perspective in order to understand our own origins, our lost sciences and our lost perspective.
For anyone who has ever wondered why our mythology gives such detailed descriptions of vimanas/ aeroplanes and nuclear bombs when according to modern science aeroplanes were invented by the Wright Brothers, and humans were hunters and gatherers at the time when these technologies were supposed to have existed or anyone who has ever been curious about what and why do we practice the rituals that we do in Hinduism, this book is an attempt to bridge the gap between mythology and modern history.
There are aspects of our modern day recorded History which the Historians themselves are unable to explain. According to History as it stands today, humans were hunters and gatherers/ nomads for a very long time and then all of a sudden two great civilizations i.e Indus Valley Civilization and Egyptian civilization, came into existence whose origins are still a mystery to all historians, this evolution from hunters and gatherers to all of a sudden developing great civilizations with advanced technology and skills is the page that is missing from present day recorded history. This page lies hundreds of feet underwater across various places around the globe and was discovered in 2002.
In 2002 Indian oceanographers discovered two cities, the size of Manhattan, off the Gulf of Khambat, lying 100 ft under water (these cities are different from the much discussed discovery of city of Dwarka discussed by popular media) (For more information go to the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_archeology_in_the_Gulf_of_Khambhat ) .
The most interesting part of this discovery is that the only time this land; where the cities have been discovered; was above the sea was before the last Ice Age (For more information visit the following link 
please see this link Graham Hancock famous British researcher visits the underwater sites). Now if we go by the description of modern history as it stands today, then during the last ice age humans were merely hunters and gatherers and could not have built any cities, especially not two cities, the size of Manhattan as have been found in the case of the submerged cities of Dwarka.
The significance of this discovery is manifold for Hindu mythology, as well as for world history and mythology, because all across the world there are many of flood myths like Noah’s Arch and the myth of Manu, that describe how great floods had taken place on earth and thereafter, the survivors of the floods struggled to re-establish human civilization again on the planet. These flood myths are spread across the globe and across the cultures including Asia, West Asia, Africa etc. West Asia and Europe have the Sumerian Creation Myth, Gilgamesh Flood Myth, Genesis flood narrative of Noah’s Ark, Classic Antiquity has Ancient Greek Flood Myths, Irish Flood Myths, Finnish Flood Myths. Many African cultures have an oral tradition of a flood myth including the Kwaya, Mbuti, Maasai, Mandin and Yoruba peoples, many such similar flood myths have been passed down through generations across the globe.
