St. Thomas’ two skeletons (Mylapore, India; Ortona, Italy) Can you name the only Saint who left behind his two skeletions?: One was the skeleton as a youth (Found in Mylapore, Chennai), and the second skeleton as an old man (Found in Ortona, Italy).

Ancient metallurgy and mleccha writing on pure tin ingots

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:58:58 GMT

Metallurgy of tin ingots and a writing system of ca. 3rd millennium BCE Abstract The discovery of two pure tin ingots in a ship-wreck near Haifa has produced two “Rosetta” stones to decode the “Indus script” of ca. 3rd millennium BCE. The epigraphs on the two tin ingots have been decoded using the rebus method, resulting in the averment: Indus script encodes mleccha speech. There are 'rosetta stones' within the corpus of inscriptions and inscribed objects. Let me cite a few.

Mother divinity: River Sarasvati, Hindu civilization traditions and metaphors created by rishi-s and artisans Hindu civilization has a unique metaphor: river as mother, river as divinity; vedic River Sarasvati as mother, as divinity. In many parts of India, the lingua franca phrase used for a river is: nayi maa, (mother river); in Ca_ran.a sahitya (the songs of bards) of Rajasthan and northern India, the word used for a river is amba_ ‘mother’, evoking the Rigvedic phrase ‘ambitame’ (best of rivers). Rigveda also refers to River Sarasvati in the following exquisite terms: sarasvati_ saptathi_

Excavations at Harappa, somewhat south of Lahore, and at Mohenjo-Daro show that the pictographic script was welldeveloped. Careful investigations have indicated that it is comprised of four hundred characters with a variety of diacritical marks, symbols and other signs.

OCEAN CURRENT MOVEMENTS IN PALK BAY – GULF OF MANNAR REGION AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN RELATION TO THE SETHUSAMUDRAM SHIPPING CHANNEL PROJECT By K.Gopalakrishnan and V.Subramanian (31 March 2008) A detailed study of the zoomed-in portions of the Google Earth picture of Palk Bay – Gulf of Mannar region (Fig. 1) brings forth some very interesting features about the ocean current movements in this area.

Common artistic motifs on metal in Mesopotamia, Luristan, BMAC, Sarasvati hieroglyphs (including Tepe Hissar seal finds) Many artistic bronzes from Luristan indicate a close connection with the artistic motifs of Sarasvati hieroglyphs. Particularly noticeable are the ligature techniques (ligaturing of animal bodies with wings and human faces, two tigers flanking and held apart by a (perhaps) feminine figure, long-horned ibexes and antelopes, apart from long-horned bulls (like brahmi bull or zebu). Another common thread is the use of bronzes. It has elsewhere been argued that the Sarasvati hier

At the outset, let me inform you, the answer isn’t going to be pleasant. It may even come as a rude shock to some. Just like citizens of great democratic nations, often we too are kept out of the information loop on intricacies of major projects. But that’s ok I suppose.
