Incredible Ancient India. ORIGIN of all civilizations worldwide, Rock Carvings, Konkan (10000 years old)
AS I SAY, Ancient India (Bharat Sanatan) was ORIGIN of all civilizations worldwide : Prehistoric art hints at lost Bharatiya Civilization (Konkan) :
1. The discovery of rock carvings believed to be tens of thousands of years old in India's western state of Maharashtra has greatly excited archaeologists who believe they hold clues to a previously unknown civilization. "Our first deduction from examining these petroglyphs is that they were created around 10,000BC," the director of the Maharashtra state archaeology department, Tejas Garge.
2. So far known petroglyph sites in -
Ratnagiri tehsil are Jaygad, Ramroad, Chave, Deood, Parchuri, Ukshi, Pochari, Jambhrun, Kapadgaav, Nivli, Umre, Kolambe, Gavkhadi, Mervi, Karbude,
Masebaav, Golap, Ganeshgule, Kurtade, Vetoshi, Chindravali, Kolambe (Varche)( Total-23).
Rajapur tehsil are Kasheli, Rundhetali, Devihasol, Rajwadi, Upale, Sakharkombe, Goval, Basru, Panhale, Solgaav, DevacheGothane, Nate, Kondsar, Vaadi (khurd), Bhalavli, Kotapur, Vikharegothane, Shedye,
Sogamwadi (Total-19).
Lanja tehsil are Bhade, Ravari, Harche, Khanawali (Total-4)
3. Dr Shrikant Pradhan, a researcher and art historian at Pune's Deccan College who has studied the petroglyphs closely, said that the art was clearly inspired by things observed by people at the time.
4. Most of them were hidden beneath layers of soil and mud. But a few were in the open - these were considered holy and worshipped by locals in some areas.
5. The sheer variety of the rock carvings have stunned experts - animals, birds, human figures and geometrical designs are all depicted. The way the petroglyphs have been drawn, and their similarity to those found in other parts of the world, have led experts to believe that they were created in prehistoric times and are possibly among the oldest ever discovered.
