Try this with any other religion. Just try. Government agency turns sacred Shivalingam into decorative water fountain. Zero outrage. Zero FIRs. Zero arrests. Imagine this with any other faith's symbol. Just imagine. But Hindus? Apparently we're supposed to appreciate the engineering marvel. 🙏

1/7 ಕರಡಿದುರ್ಗ ಕೋಟೆ. Bear Fort. 2 km SW of Uchangidurga, Davanagere Karnataka. No plaque. No history book. ASI protected? Just steep granite, collapsed walls, and silence. This is what heritage neglect looks like. 🏰 #GemsofASI #MNI992

12000 years old Petroglyph found in #Ratnagiri Maharashtra is the oldest Map in the world. 12000 years ago when the last #Iceage ended. - The sea levels soared by 60 meters from 140 meters lower than present levels. - The average temperature also rose to around a level of 4°-6° celcius less than today. Someone or a group of people, or a generation of people travelled the length and breadth of India and itched it in #Ratnagiri Maharashtra. They probably perceived Indian shape as a big Elephant who has four legs like four directions. They engraved this imagination with whatever they found in different directions. It would have taken 10s of years a man to draw 14x12 meter pictograph bare handed using stone tools. Gathering of directions and peculiarities itself would have taken 100s of years. A set of generations probably did this humongous task. Features of the map - The head of Elephant has 2 man shown. It probably means that the narrators want to show that man only lived in Ratnagiri and Madhyapradesh at that moment. This is also possible because Madhyapradesh falls on Tropic of Cancer which were warmer than rest of the India post Ice Age. -The Elephant has got 7 mountains type figures probably the pre-cursor to India depicted in Mahabharata's. -Assuming the head in the West Position (Ratnagiri is in West), it depicts four animals found in each directions. For eg, -Bengal Tiger is positioned near Bengal region (East), -Langoor in North, -Pangolin in South-East , -Boar near present Ratnagiri and MadhyaPradesh. The petroglyph also houses a shark in the South-east area. - A Kangaroo 🦘 sort of animal can be seen near the trunk of the elephant. Could this be Australian continent who knows. - There are several birds and other animals (mostly unrecognised / extinct). Interestingly only Langoor and other predators survived and can be seen in today's environment. The marine life mostly shows fishes and sharks. There are few more elephant petroglyph found from the same region indicating the significance of elephant in Indian Ancient history. Please watch this video.

Ancient Mapping Discovered in Ratnagiri A 12,000-year-old petroglyph unearthed in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, holds the title of the world's oldest map. Early inhabitants possibly imagined India as a massive elephant, its four legs symbolizing the four cardinal directions. They carved out this imaginative vision using stone tools, laboring for decades to create a 14x12 meter pictograph. The intricate knowledge etched into this artwork likely spanned centuries and was the collective effort of multiple generations. At the elephant's head, two figures are depicted, suggesting that humans primarily settled in Ratnagiri and Madhya Pradesh during that era. This aligns with the idea that Madhya Pradesh, situated along the Tropic of Cancer, offered a warmer climate post-Ice Age. The elephant also features seven mountain-esque figures, perhaps an early representation of India as chronicled in the Mahabharata. Envisioning the head aligned to the West—where Ratnagiri resides—a fascinating depiction of animals associated with specific directions emerges. For instance, the Bengal Tiger is strategically placed near the Bengal area in the East, while the Langur represents the North. A Pangolin takes its place in the South-East, and a Boar connects to regions like Ratnagiri and Madhya Pradesh. The petroglyph also features a shark in the South-East quadrant. Within the artwork, you'll find various birds and animals, many unrecognized or extinct. Notably, only creatures like the Langur and other predators have endured to modern times, while marine life includes primarily fish and sharks.
