Except for the section on astronomical corroboration; there isn't anything of interest. The book talks about Vanaras and humans in different stages of evolution and also says Vanaras occupied the land of Adi dravidas. The book repeatedly quotes the greatest scholarly work of our times; Amar Chitra Katha.The books justifies everything from puspaka vimana; hanuman carrying the mountain to Ram Sethu built in 5 days. Yet another project aimed at "rediscovering" the golden age of the Vedic people.In short; read this book and delude yourself if you believe our Rishis were experts in everything from aeronautics to nuclear physics and we lost this ancient knowledge due to Islamic invasion and conspiracy hatched by Christian missionaries.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great proof to prove Rama's existance...By vivek malpaniExcellent logical conclusion and shows various scientific methods to arrive at dates. More importantly; to prove that Rama did rule and its not just a good work of fiction..Superb.
