INDIA, January 7, 2003: Mr. N.S. Rajaram, organizer of the Mythic Society conference, writes that statements reported in numerous news stories about the conference discussions on Tamil Nadu’s ancient cities possibly predating Mesopotamian civilization are not accurate. Mr. Rajaram states, “Mr. Hancock’s theory is based on the findings of the National Institute of Ocean Technology on the West Coast. The findings off the East Coast are less extensive. Glenn Milne was also interviewed and he only spoke about the sea level rises and did not confirm Hancock’s theory. In fact, Hancock propounded no theory but made only some general observations about Indian flood myths and how civilization is much older than 3000 BC or so accepted by historians. The finds are significant, but we have a long way to go. The genetic findings are also still too tentative for any definite conclusions.” Readers wishing further information on this subject kindly contact “source” above.
