Answer 2

Rig Veda, which is now accepted to be 8000 years old,
mentions ships with 100 oars. The Buddhist Jataka
stories wrote about large Indian ships carrying seven
hundred people. History says that that Telugu King
Samudra Gupta went around the world several times. The
Harivamsa informs that the first geographical survey of
the world was performed during the period of king
Vaivasvata. The towns, villages and demarcation of
agricultural land of that period were depicted on maps.
Brahmanda Purana provides the best and the most
detailed description of world map drawn on a flat
surface using an accurate scale. Padma Purana says that
world maps were prepared and maintained in book form
and kept with care and safety in chests. Surya
Siddhantha speaks about construction of wooden globe
representing earth and marking of horizontal circles,
equatorial circles and further divisions. Accidental
finding of an old map some where can only open
questions. Any continued knowledge must have many
centuries of usage. Only India has it.

Ayithareya Brahmana of the Rig Veda mentions the
Andhras. Some ancient Sanskrit texts describe the
Andhras as an ancient tribe and as one of the
ancestors. The popular saying in Andhra
Pradesh is "Desa bhaashalandu Telugu lessa"; Telugu is
the best among Indian languages. Of all languages in
the world, Telugu has the largest number of alphabets.
We know that Sanskrit was not the mother tongue of any
tribe in India. It's very name says that it is a
reformation of an existing language. In recent times,
Esperanto was created to serve as an artificial
international language in Europe. In the olden days,
Sanskrit was created for the same purpose. Who could
have been the authors of Sanskrit? The name Amdhra
gives the hidden meaning Aadi Amara, the first Sanskrit
or the former language from which Sanskrit was made.
However, it is upto researchers to find out who was
best qualified for this task in the olden days. Which
language of India contains the largest number of
Sanskrit words? Telugu. The language of the old Telugu
texts contains more than 80 percent of Sanskrit words.
This percentage is the highest for all old books
written in the regional languages in India. The Andhras
are the only people in India to use Sanskrit for names
of months and other terminolgy words in the Hindu
calander. Which language of India has the most perfect
pronunciation? Telugu. An American university wanted
the vocal recordings of the vedas. They have gone all
over India to find who would recite the vedas with
highest perfection in pronunciation. They finally got
the recordings from the pundits at Tirupathi in Andhra
Pradesh. Some ancient texts in India say that Bhaarathi
(goddess of speech and knowledge) spoke Telugu when she
started speaking words and Sanskrit when she reached
puberty.

The interacion of Andhras with ancient Europeans is
evident from the legend of Aeneas in Latin literature
and Bhavana legend of Andhras:
