Ek Lapata Pradesh: Kumari Kandam

India Classified

09-02-2024 • 10 mins

Ancient Tamil literature and some Sanskrit texts talk about a sunken continent- that connected Africa and South India. Some documents even provide the measurements of this massive region. Not just Indian, but Chinese and Greek literature also refer to it. Previously referred to as just a myth, now there exists archeological data to support the stories. Did Kumari Kandam exist? Did the Indian Ocean swallow a whole continent? If so, can present countries also vanish from existence?
