KumariKandam (குமரிக்கண்டம்) D'Lost Continent Of Tamil Nadu

Kumari Kandam or Lemuria (Tamil:குமரிக்கண்டம்)

Did you'll know Kumari Kandam was the largest continent in this world? This huge continent of the Tamil people was called Kumari Kandam or the Lemuria continent that was swallowed by the seas, and eventually lost forever. The lost world of Tamil Nadu which submerged in Indian Ocean thousands of years ago.There are many lost cities in today’s world one of the famous is Atlantis.

This Kumari kandam continient said to be ruled by the Pandya kings, and there are lots of scattered literary evidences to this lost land of the Tamils. As per Adiyarkunallar, a huge landmass extending from Kanyakumari to a distance of 700 kavatams (unknown, obsolete unit) got sunken in the sea. During this civilization, Kumari Kandam land was divided into 49 territories (nadu). It had mountain ranges, and also had two main rivers- Pahruli and Kumari. "

Then we had everything and now we have the least.Atleast appreciate of what we had.Remember our fore fathers and ancestors. 

Ancient monuments merging from the sea.large cities are lost for thousands of years.All over the world there are sunken cities.

But Kumari kandam has written and described in many manuscripts that also proofs existed and this is still being investigated further to discover the lost part of Tamil Nadu.Not only Hindu scripts but through the Tibetan and Mayan manuscript describes more to Lemuria .

Who are these people and where did they come from and where it this continent disappear ?

Kumari Kandam or Lemuria is the name of a supposed sunken landmass referred to be existing in ancient Tamil literature.This lost continent said to have been located in the Indian Ocean to the south of present day Kanyakumari district at the southern tip of India.

There are a lot of reference scattered in Sangam literatures .The whole history of the land conquered was among the great kings of Cholan, Pandiyan and Cheran.Which supposed to be another epic of this lost land, please Google further to know.Among the findings that I read about the Kumari Kandam nadu, explains this reference by saying that there was once a land to the south of the present-day Kanyakumari, which stretched from the Pahruli river in the north to the Kumari river in the south had a land divided into 49 nadu, or territories, which he names as seven coconut territories (elutenga natu), seven Madurai territories (elumaturai natu), seven old sandy territories (elumunpalai natu), seven new sandy territories (elupinpalai natu), seven mountain territories (elukunra natu), seven eastern coastal territories (elukunakarai natu) and seven dwarf-palm territories (elukurumpanai natu). 

All these lands, he says, together with the many-mountained land that began with KumariKollam, with forests and habitations, were submerged by the sea.Two of these Nadus or territories were supposedly parts of present-day Kollam and Kanyakumari districts. None of these texts name the land “Kumari Kandam” or “Kumarinadu”, as is common today. The only similar pre-modern reference is to a “Kumari Kandam” which is named in the medieval Tamil

In Tamil national mysticism, late 19th and early 20th centuries, Tamil nationalists came to identify Kumari Kandam with Lemuria, a hypothetical “lost continent” and these accounts, Kumari Kandam became the “cradle of civilization”, the origin of human languages in general and the Tamil language in particular. 

These ideas gained notability in Tamil academic literature over the first decades of the 20th century, and were popularized by the Tanittamil Iyakkam.The archologist and scientist or researchers are still deciphering  undeciphered Indus script as Tamil.

Scientifically the equator regions have always been most prone to natural catastrophes like earthquakes and volcano eruptions. A part of explanation is that planet rotation and especially the difference in rotation speed between poles and equator force earth mantel to strain and to break more easily where the strain is strongest, that is at the equator regions. These tectonic processes played important role in the disappearance of the ancient continent known as Lemuria to western scholars. Sri Lanka together with India, Indonesia and Malaysia were a part of this continent. Many islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans are remnants of this continent that in ancient time covered the whole area of today’s ocean.

Storetvedt, who seems to reject the theory of continental drift and plate tectonics, says that descriptions of cataclysms in early literature when land suddenly went underwater are logical. But they should be proven to be scientific facts. This can be done with the help of sea-floor analysis that is possible to carry out. Modern theories find supportive evidences both in ancient literature and language history.

This is how the people moved from the to other continents and we are everywhere in the world. Australian aborgines and the Mauritians are from these lost continents.
