प्रभु श्रीराम और पुष्पक विमान के अस्तित्व के शास्त्रीय और भौगोलिक सबूत
We are currently in the Kaliyuga of the 28th
YUGA CYCLE of the 51 st Day of Brahma. Hence Lord Rama was born not just Two
Yugs ago but TWO YUGS plus THREE CHATUR-YUGS before present!!
THIS is why digging for archaeological data to corroborate the existence of Shri Raam would be futile. There is no way we could find any man-made artifacts after millenia as the scriptures put Shri Raam's period to be 18 million (Before 1.8 Coror) years ago!

Ramayan - The
Adi-kavya
Numerous versions of Ramayan exist throughout the length and the breadth of the country and even outside its boundaries but the oldest of these is the Valmiki Ramayan and for our analysis, we will stick to the original as it is the most ancient and accurate one.

Let me begin with a
very interesting anachronism mentioned in this version of the Ramayan.Sundar
Kanda [4.27.12] states that Hanuman, on entering Lanka, sees FOUR-TUSKED
elephants guarding the palaces of Ravan. These elephants are tall and imposing
and have been trained to protect Lanka from invaders.
A similar account is given by Trijata, the ogress guarding Sita ji in Chapter 27 of the same Kanda when she dreams of Lord Rama coming to Sita's rescue riding an elephant high as a hill and bearing four-tusks.
So what is so special about these accounts?? Well, fossil remains show that there were many steps in the evolution of the 'Modern Elephant' and there DID exist four-tusked ancestors of elephants in various shapes and sizes such as Trilophodon, Tetralophodon, Gomphotheriumetc around 20 million years ago!
How in the world could Rishi Valmiki have known about the four-tusked ancestors of the modern elephant unless he had seen them himself or was told about them by Narad???

Once Ravan had captured Sita ji, he brought her to the place today known as Weragantota in Lanka close to Mahiyangana town; and surprise surprise the meaning of this name in the Sinhalese language is a 'landing place for aircrafts'!!
