Is there a man made bridge in India which was built by Rama in 6th cenury B.C.?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a man made bridge between the Mannar islands of Sri Lanka and Rameswaram of India measuring 52 K.M. in length. It is 30 feet deep. 30 K.M. of its total length is above land and the remaining 22 K.M. is under water. It is also called Palk Strait or Adam's Bridge. But the Indians call it Sri Ram Setu, as it is believed to have been built by Sri Rama and his soldiers led by one of his generals Sugriva as the chief architect.

The site can be seen in Google satellite map very clearly. The NASA scientists have confirmed that it is not a natural shoal made bridge, rather it is man made. Further the NASA dates it around 1500 B.C. But the Indians say that it is at least 8000 years old. Sri Rama is said to be a historical figure of the Tretaya Yug which is about 1750 million years old from the present. The modern science does not have any apparatus to prove or disprove any thing which is said to be so much old.

Answer 2

The sethu was built by Rama with the assistance of Sughreeva's Sena, as per Ramayana. I believe in it, hundred percent. I have seen with my own eyes, the Sethu, near Rameshwaram. Our own people want to disbeleive it, unfortunately. It is 1.7 millions years old.

This is what wikipedia has to say about the bridge.

Rama's Bridge, also called Nala's Bridge and Adam's Bridge is a chain of limestone shoals, between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of India. The bridge is 30 miles (48 km) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep. This seriously hinders navigation. It was reportedly passable on foot as late as the 15th century until storms deepened the channel.[citation needed]. A ferry service linking the island and port of Rameswaram in India with Talaimannar in Sri Lanka has been suspended for some time due to the fighting between Sri Lankan government forces and the separatist LTTE; the Pamban Bridge links Rameswaram island with mainland India.

Answer 3

Science has its limitations in dating ancient relics which is called carbon dating. The bridge made by Rama now under water has survived many vicissitudes over last few millenia. Unless there is authentic proof to deny it we can not rule out its probability. It is established by the NASA scientists that it is earlier than 2nd century B.C.

Why the Government of India is trying to destroy it when the Pyramids and the Great Wall of China are being preserved as International Heritage? Are Indians not proud of their ancient culture. Are Tamils in India not part of Indians? These basic questions arise in the minds of persons from out side India.

Answer 4

There is something called "Rama's Bridge" that extends between two islands, one near India and the other near Sri Lanka - but it is open to discussion whether it is a natural formation, man-made, or made by the Hindu god Rama.

If it is a natural rock formation, it may be millions of years old.

Answer 5

Though the origin is not known, the Adam's bridge between Sri Lanka and India in the Palk Strait does exist.
PROOF
1. Satellite pics
2. Ships can't sail through that area

now, this has been mentioned in the ramayana, so people generally do agree that Ram did build it (though there is no scientific proof to support it)

Answer 6

tit was told that rama build bridge at rameswaram to go to srilanka but today it was not there as it was beleived to be collapsed yrs ago today some pieces of those floating stones are preserved in a small hanuman tenple in rameswaram which were believed to be from the same bridge any ways pasts happening are always faiths!!!

Answer 7

~Not anymore, it collapsed into the Ganges in 1142 A.D.
