Look up Kumari Kandam for what (we) Tamils think as the origin of mankind.
Edit - Not sure why I am being downvoted. I didn't claim it to be true. It seemed relevant and a lot of folks around me believe it.
- flukus 9y agoTLDR: It's Lemuria, the Atlantis of the subcontinent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumari_Kandam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumari_Kandam). It has about as much relevance as the biblical garden of eden.
- Bakary 9y agoJust read about this, it's a pretty cool origin myth! I had never heard about the legend of Lemuria before.
- arjie 9y agoHaha, thanks. This is quite entertaining. A modern origin myth. Never thought I'd see something like that widespread uptake. It says that textbooks as late as 1981 had this stuff in them. Fascinating. Boy am I glad they got rid of this stuff by the time I was in school in the '90s.
