Kooragala

Kooragala- Puravidya Chakrawarthi Ven. Ellawala Medhananda MP

On the foot of the “Kooragala” mountain is “Sandagiriya” where 2 Bodhi plants from the sacred “Ashta Pala” Bo tree “Jaya Siri Maha Bodhi” in Anuradhapura were planted. The sacred land spreads over 25 acres of land with ancient monuments, inscriptions and ruins aging over 2^nd century AD where the inscriptions state of many “Rahath"monks.  [Puravidya Chakrawarthi Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thero. MP -1979 Sandagiriya or Sandagahanuwara] there are three stone inscriptions in each of the three main caves describing as, 1. Dattha and Samuddha’s Cave 2. Parumaka Sumana 3. Parumaka Summa, was built and officially dedicated to the holy monks as devotees. “Walipathayaya”  is just below 1500 feet of Kooragala and an ancient Stone Staircase and Brick Walls could be still seen. Below 500-600 feet, there’s another cave with beautiful Brick Walls. There are two other caves near “Kalthota” “Diyainnapara” which also have inscriptions each. On right to that is the “Budhugala Temple” and archeological land [resemblance of “Ritigala” road near “Bhandra pond” According to “Mahawanshaya”, during the reign of “Prakrama Pandya” in Polonnaruwa, it was mentioned as “Kaalachittha” [Kalthota]with ancient stone carvings. To the right of it is the “Waelpothayaya” “Puhulyaya” “Indurugahayaya” “Diyainna” “Girimakulugolla” “Handagiriya” “Lendara” “Pollamure” “Thewelagala” ancient ruins and inscriptions can still be seen. Mainly there are five stone inscriptions in “Girimakulugolla” where it has described of a king called “Shiva” who was the son of king “Thissa” and to the many more kings before him which was identified as Royal Grounds. The Katharagama “Kshadriyans” and the “Chandanagaama Kshadriyans” were the ones who descended the “Ashta Pala Siri Maha Bodhi” from Anuradhapura. The “Chandanagaama Kshadriyans” were the ones who planted the sacred tree in the “Ulgala Chaithya” near “Katupath Oya-Handagiriya” and the river “Walawe”. Bricks with ancient Inscriptions were found on top of the rock. At “Weediyayaya/Weediyapitiya” there’s an ancient road all the way to the river “Walawe” in the “Udawalawa Reserve” and from “Palamthota” there’s “Pilima Adda Ara” which believes to be the road made by dragging of a Statue to the river where it can still be seen. The “Hambegamuwa-Dattha Jeilani” means the “Tooth of Seilan” which the word “Seilan” is used by Arabs to identify Lakdiva as in Ceylon by the English.

“Kooragala” is actually “Kuhara Gala” which means the “Cave Rock”. In the book of “Samankoota Warnanawa” it has mentioned as “Panduleiiya Pabbatha” where people came to see the Holy one [Buddha]. The 2^nd century AD inscriptions written were identified as “Brahmin” where King “Vijayabahu” started reigning over from the “Soli” of India emphasizing the preservation of “Shiva Devala” and property.

Rathnapura Saddharmalankara Pirivenadhipathi Adhikarana Sanghanayaka Rajakeeya Panditha Shastradhipathi Ven.Vataddara Ghnanasaara Thero

[Special Thanks to – Hambegamuwa Gama Mahatthaya, U.M. Gunaratne[Koth-imburuwella Guardian], Diyainna Mahatthaya, Sirisena[Bera/Natum/Hewisi], Puhulyaya Attho and Ven.Kirielle Ghnanawimala Thero for the ancient Sabaragamuwa Scripts and Scrolls]

In 1971, according to a request made by the “Rathnapura Saddharmalankara Piriven Ven.Vataddara Ghnanasaara” Thero, “Kooragala” was declared as a reserve together with “Galtamyaya” and “Budhugala” since it all belongs to one unique relic. In 1972 Ven. ”Vataddara Ghnanasaara” Thero was handed over the guardianship of the relic by Ven. “Kirielle Ghnanawimala” Thero and Ven. “Khitale Narada” Thero. In 1932 Ven. “Vataddara Ghnanasaara” Thero had also got the blessings from the “Goanagala Ananda Myethree” Thero.

Since before the time of “Deepangkara Buddha”, “Kooragala” was a natural Bay. In 1932 The “Walawwe Mahawalathanne Unnahe” or the “Rate Mahatthaya” made "Kirihantha Upasaka” the guardian of “Kooragala” stating “never to let anyone trespass or destroy this ancient place” which he did with all his life. The “Gammuladani” at that time was Ven.“Mulgama Sunethra Hamuduruwanwahanse” ‘s father who were in-charge of “Mulgama”, “Ranjanthenna” and “Kalthota”. A rumor of a man name “Mastanda” lighting oil lamps in the sacred caves got the attention of “Kirihantha Upasaka” which made the “Mahawalathanne”,” Aarachhila”and the “Governor” come visit the site, and immediately after looking at the site the Governor ordered to “remove this man from this place”. Two times the man was removed but yet he claimed that the Brahmin inscriptions were in fact Arabic. Amongst the Medicine books and documents written by Ven. “Kirielle Ghnanawimala” Thero, are a “Puskola Potha” written about “Kooragala" Stone Inscriptions” according to traditions the “Perahera” and the “Girikhanda Poojawa” was held but the “Perahera” started from Ven.“Medabedde Sangharakkhita” Thero’s temple was underway through obstructions and disturbances to the way to “Kooragala”. 

The importance of “Kooragala” is that the “First ray of light” from the Sun in East is received by the “Maaraji Chaithya” near “Mahameru Parwatha” which was also described by the Holy one “Gauthama Buddha” in “Deeghanikaya-Paatika wagge-Aggaghna Soothraya” where it has illustrated about the beginning of this world. The world is 5000 million years old and was submerged 2500 million years before, where the water was up to “Bhamba Thalaya”. The 5000 million old world first started here in Lakdiva and it was here where it all began. “Harishchanda Wijethunga”  is another person who knows the actual story of how the world began. The “Ray of Light” from the Sun was first on a spot, which they call it the “Lakuna”, “Ilakkaya” [Mark/Target] which the word “Illangai” was descended later to the Tamil people. As the water started descending for 2500 million years, a “Point” appeared and that was the “Mark”. It is believed to be the first place where the first “Ray of Light” touched mother Earth. Then the Brahmas came down from heavens and appeared as “Fireflies” due to their own Self-Enlightment, who was excited to see the first bit of land and inherited it where it all began, proving all the theories wrong about “Aliens and Extraterrestrials” coming down to Earth and “Genetically Engineering Humans” the “Preethi Bhakka Bhavi Samaya” is the term used to say how happy the Brahmas were to see the land and to eat.

The word “Ravana” also stands for “Wana Rakshita” meaning the protector of all Trees and Animals and the word “Asura” [Nasuraa Asura] stands for a group of people who were free of all narcotics. Lakdiva was mentioned in literature around the world under various names such as, “Acchapabbatha”, “Acchoditha”, Pasaditha”, “Aaloka”, “Mayru”, “Sumayru”, “Maha Mayru”, “Girikhanda”, “Hirugala”[Sun Rock], “Girishikharakate”, “Sandagala”[Moon Rock], “Sakwalagala”[Universal Rock], “Samudramala Shikharaya”, Sathge”, “Acchagiriya”, “Acchapalla”[Accha-Pahan Pirisidu Aaloka/Prasadika-Aaloka-Parisuddhang], “Nivayakoota”, “Rangira”, “Muchalindu Pawwa”, “Saiilama”, “Seiilani” and “Ulaspada”[meant “Shri Pada” in Ptolemy’s map]. All the enlightened Buddhas, “Kakusanda”, “Konagama”, “Kashyapa” and “Gauthama” got their “Viwarana” [Self Realization through meditation]here in “Kooragala” because it was here before the “Tapas pilay Kap Upatha” meaning “Here before Everything”. On to the foot of the mountain is another place called “Rambagathnuwara” [Ramba means Plantains] where a vast cultivated land of Plantains could still be seen, and it is here where all the 24 holy Buddhas, [Atavisi Budhuwaru and Soovisi Budhuwaru]“Sannangkara”, “Saranangkara”, “Medhangkara” and “Deepangkara” got their Enlightment periodically. The plantains were transported from “Rambagathnuwara” to “Barawakumbuka” in Embilipitiya, to distribute around the world. 

The muslims around the “Kooragala” area knows the actual story and admits the shame others brought upon them because they believe that God doesn’t exist in caves or anywhere else but above. Inside the Cave however, there’s a huge Gem, in the Rock wall, which reflects bright when the Sun is upon it which the muslims claim is the “Light from Heaven” [the “Abhu Sali” trick]

“Kooragala” is also known as “Garundha Raaja Gala” because it resembles a “Garundha” lying down. In the ancient scripts of “Garundha Puranaya” it has mentioned that it is here that the God “Vishnu” had spoken to the “Garundha” and described the “Eight Worst Hells” on earth [Ashta Mahaa Narakaadiya] such as, “Sanjeewaya”, “Kaalasoothraya”, “Sanghathaya”, “Rauwraya”, “Maha Rauwraya”, “Thapaya”, “Prathapaya”, “Aveechiya”. Vishnu also described the rock  as “Waithunda Parwatha” and the “Mahaakaala Naagha Raajaya” means the “Naagha Parwathaya” [Snake Rock] where the “Naagha Loka”[Snake World] was.

“Goraura un avith watakrama umagewal esew thena thapas rakiminda,

Saara sankhyak waada banda yudha karapu wasawarthi helu gala menda,

Kooragala kanda mada pihiti ema thapas pila maykapa upathata palamuwenda”

Some of the “Chaithyas” and “Dagabs” in Kooragala, “Saluminisaeya”, “SiluminiSaeya”, “Aakashachethiya”[Maarajisaeya] were all built for the purpose to commemorate the establishment of the “Holy Footprint” [Paadaya Pihitawu Chaithya] long before the Holy “Gauthama Buddha” made the holy “Footprint” at “Siri Paadaya”, people visited “Kooragala” to embrace the holy shrine. There was a pond near the caves which is dried out now, but as the legend says, it was called the “Saanthuwarayange Pokuna”[Pond of saints] where people got cleansed before visiting the sacred area on top of “Kooragala” mountain.

“Kaalapabbatha” “Uthpalawarna” mentioned in “Vidhura Jathakaya” is known to man as the “Naagha Lokaya” or the “Paathaala Lokaya”[Underworld] and The “Siri Paadaya” was also called the “Yamagiripawwa” and the king of “Yama” was none other than the God “Sumana Saman” himself. “Parumaka Sumana” means the leader of all “Sumanas” which is also the God “Sumana Saman”. In the time of lord “Gauthama Buddha” there was a war between the “Sura” and “Asura” for a Gem Throne where the Chakrawarthi [Universal] King “Tharaka” was the “Asura” king. Lord Buddha came down here on invitation and resolved the problem by preaching the “Dhajagga Soothra” which took place near the first cave “Dattha and Samudra”. The original cave inscription is “Siddhartha and Samudra” but unfortunately a part of the inscription was destroyed by someone leaving only the “Dattha” part.

The entire Lakdiva was one Nation and one Race. During the reign of King “Dutugemunu” after the war, there was a drought, and it was called the “Buluthadha” where people only had the fruits from the Bulu tree. Also the “Girikhanda Saagathaya” where Professor Senarath Paranawithana had explained that people ate rocks. After king Dutugemunu, his brother king ”Saddhathissa” was crowned and his son “Watta Gamini” after him where another drought took place for 13 years without rain causes the kingdom to establish away from the drought for the welfare of the people. Apart from the Holy Scripture “Thripitakaya” monks from India such as “Buddhaghosa” and “Dharmapala” were the ones who came down and wrote the “Atuwa-Tika” to the later part of history. The “Sura” were the ones who lived beneath the mountain in “Wankagiriya” who were Non-Vegetarian and anti Narcotic.

In the 6^th Century AD where Lord “Gauthama Buddha” lived, there were no human inhabitations beyond “Pettigala” and “Dethaniyagala” but Animals. According to the story “Ramayanaya”, “Seetha Guli”[Rice Balls] was given to her by Gods to ease hunger and the dropped Rice [Stone] Balls can still be found on the plains of Sabaragamuwa with magical healing powers according to legend, which was later discovered that it was nothing but Wild boar Droppings. Basically the Wild Boar eats the most venomous creatures and yet survives, and scientifically it could have healing powers to some extent. Since “Kalthota” was a sea port in ancient times, Legends says about a Ship hitting on top of the mountain where it got petrified and the drawing are still visible to date. The holy “Deepangkara Buddha” and “Sumedha Taapasa”[later Gauthama Buddha]  both meditated here on top of Kooragala mountain where it was before everything else ever was before. There are stories about Tsunamis in ancient times which I believe could be cause by the land separation of countries of the Gondwanaland. 

“Mahama mera mudunathin yamagiri kuhara gala pita thabu pathul

Saema pelahara methak kala wata wadamawan muniduge pathul

Saema uwaduru duru karannata amathi piriwara waenda pathul

Ama maha sanda nivan dakinata wandimu muninduge siri pathul”

Recent excavations done by the Archeology Department of Sri Lanka [25.04.2013] discovered mass quantities of prehistoric artifacts and amongst them are Human Skeletons, Advance Stone Tools, Sea Shells, Animal Skeletons is yet to me Carbon dated. The Stone Tools found were smooth and symmetrical could be verified as “Microlithic tools” which were identical to the artifacts found near “Bellanbendipelassa”. The valley near the river “Walawe” is in-between the Dry Zone and the Wet Zone which believe to be a “Transmigration” area. Also have found artifact of Oceanic Crustaceans and Mammals such as, Shark and Crabs where the distance to the sea is 60 kilometers, which archeologists believe that the Prehistoric man exchanged foods. Catfish, Elk, Deer and Chevrotain are also among the artifacts found in Kooragala which believes to be ageing from 6000-10,000 years. “Kithulgala-Beli Lena”, “Batadomba Lena” and “Pahiyangala” artifacts believes to belong  to the same Mesolithic Period due to the similar Sea Shells found called “Akavos Phoenix” 

The Ancient Wind Iron Production Owens

M.P.P. Gunasinghe

The “Thanjanthenna Owen” is one of the Owens found in “Mahawalathenna” area. Owens similar to “Thanjama Owen” could be found throughout the vast plains of “Mahawalathenna”, “Hatharabhage”, and “Weralugasmangkada”. The Iron Industry in Lakdiva ages over 1000 AD. And it has been proven by Dr.Siran Daraniyagala’s excavations in Anuradhapura. The Owen at “Thanjanthenna” found near the “Mangara Devalaya and Raja Maha Viharaya” is similar to the Owens at “Hatharabhage” which was noted and drawn by Ananda Kumaraswamy. It is also similar to “Weralugasmangkada” Owens which shows the same exact layout. A woman named “Randuna” had seen her husband working in the Owens with her own eyes, which she sings lullabies to her son “Ran Hawadiya”.

“Kaeta kotalai Yamanaa

Karata ganin Yamanaa

Koawa daman yamanaa

Sam paagai yamanaa

Doi doi doi doi doiiyaa

Bai bai bai bai baiiyaa”

In the ancient times the Iron production area is verified as, to the right of “Idalgashinna” till the river “Walawe”, from East till “Bibilehela”, from south till “Kuruwita” during the reign of king “Rajasinghe II” it has mentioned in the scriptures that, the “Atakalampanna” are had sent 2228 Iron Balls to the Royal palace. And also it has mentioned that the”Sabaragamuwa” and “Kandepallakorale” areas were the official areas which supplied Iron to the Royal Treasury. The Iron Workers are called the “Yaman Kulay Attho”

Palestine

Professor Mirando Obeysekara

“Judha” was one of the close relatives of the great king Ravana, who was also a scientist, sent out to “Palastenna” to build a state 7500 years back. It’s stated in the “Ravana pusthaka” that “Judha”’s birth land was situated south of Lakdiva in the “Bheema Mandala-Raajagrama”  

“Judha” was an expert in chemistry, who took many of his relatives and friends to the new state to inhabit land and the new inhabitants faced problems by the “Rough Sea”.  The situation was informed by “Judha”to the Laankeshwara great king Ravana who then came down to ”Palastenna” and performed a “Sun God Ritual” with the prayers and “Mantra” to calm the sea. The “Rough Sea” became the “Dead Sea” since then, states the Ravana Pusthaka.

The meaning of the name “Judha” is “the one who’s born for war” [yuddha in Sinhala] states the Ravana Pusthaka, and the inhabitants were called “Judew” [warriors] because of that. All the Yakka inhabitants in “Palastenna” worshiped the “Sun God” under full courtesy of the great king Ravana, but later worshiped ““Judha” after his ritual performance. “According to ancient inscriptions and scrolls, all the advance civilizations worshiped the Sun before Christianity” states Professor Mirando Obeysekara. There lived a great saint called “Moosila” 2500 years back who had walked on the sea waters. The “Hela yakka Moosila” was called “Moogha” by the moors and the Europeans called him “Moosad” who were all decedents of the “Judha” In 7500 BP, the ancient “Siw Hela” built many states around the world and only the best Yakkas were chosen for the task. The discussion on “Palastenna” took place on a green carpet which was the reason to call it “Palastenna” which later became the Palestine. The language used by yakka “Judha” was called “Sabara-Habara” which later evolved into “Hebara”, “Hebbraeu” and “Hebrew” the bible written in Hebrew was later translated to Sinhala by canon Samuel William Dias Bandaranayake who has stated that the “Hebrew is an inheritance of the ancient Hela language” in one of his unpublished letters. 

Due to the protests by the moors in Palestine, the Hela Yakkas went on to build “Israel” and inhabited the new land. “After the Great King Ravana’s unconsciousness, all the Hela Yakkas around the world dispersed to different parts of the world while protecting the secrecy of the Yakka inheritance which has been proven by tests” said Professor Obeysekara. 

Under the leadership of “Judha” the Hela Yakkas had the full courtesy of the great king Ravana. It has stated in the Ravana Pusthaka that the Dead Sea holds miracles such as healing powers due to the rituals performed to the Sun God while walking on the sea by the Great King Ravana. A European scientist called Paul Peterson told that “The blood samples taken from the “Jedew” [Jews] shows great similarities to the “Aadiwasi” [ancient Sinhalese] blood samples” [Science -6’06 – 1970]

All the Yakkas living around the world had a close link to each other and built their own language and literature accordingly, like “Judha” built his own according to the decision taken on the green carpet. “Sabar” was one of the variations of the Hela Language which “Judha” used to develop it to “Sabarew” “Hebbraeu” to Hebrew with different ideals. A hero called the “Israel” who’s mentioned in the bible was one of the decedents of “Judha” Yakka. 

The “Judha” Yakkas were masters of war weaponry. They not only built, but offered guidance in producing nuclear weaponry as well. “Under all circumstances, these Yakkas still managed to maintain the link between countries since prehistoric times” this has been clearly stated by many foreign scholars and writers such as “Ibn Wahab” who came down to Lakdiva in the 9^th Century stated that Jews lived in Lakdiva.[Tenuant Ceylon – nn 586-8]. Also “Abhu Saheed” who came down to Lakdiva in 911 had stated that “a large number of Jews lived in Lakdiva”.

Prehistoric Sri Lanka and The Great King Ravana

Ravana The GreatKing of Yakka's

It all started after discovering 4 flying objects (Aero plane type) carved in a Pyramid wall in Egypt in 1986. Only then the world started believing that the Ravana and the “Dandumonaraya” ( Pushpaka Yaanaya / Vimana ) was real.

History of Ravana

Grandfather – Pulasthi Muni

Father – Wishrawas Muni

Mother – Kesini ( Daughter of King Sumalin )
Brothers - Kumbhakarna, Bara, Dushana and Vibheeshana

King Ravana was the eldest son of King Wishrawas Muni n Queen Kesini, King Wishrawas Muni was the son of King Pulatya Muni, who was the son of King Sumali, who was the son of King Sukesha, who was the son of King Vidyuthkesha, who was the son of King Heathiraksha, who was the son of King Dharmaraja, whos was the son of King Suryaputhra, but the country was ruled by a king called “Kuwera”. (Ravana’s Father’s first marriages’ son) but since his mother was an Indian, King Ravana was the rightful ruler to the Throne but Kuwera rejected King Ravana and therefore Ravana had to gather all the Yakkas from his Mother’s party to chase away Kuwera to claim the Kingdom rightfully his about 6000 years ago. Kuwera’s palace was built at Sigiriya by the famous architect “Mayadhanawa” and the Mayans were his descendents which was originally built for the King Wishrawas Muni. King Ravana was a wise and a great King at his time and his sister “Suparnaka” was the ruler of South India at that time who’s nose was cut off by king Dasharatha's sons Rama and Laxmana which made King Ravana to bring “Sita” Rama’s wife to Lakdiva as a punishment but didn’t do any harm because she too was his sister and also did nothing in return for revenge.

The "Ramayanaya" by Valmiki explains the greatness of King Ravana's Technology, Medicine and etc was at it's peak; but the untold story behind is that the Indians were into animal sacrifices and all the other unethical believings and teachings of the Bamunas. King Ravana on the other hand was a non-violent peace loving King which made the Bamunas hate him and make conspiracies against him and Rama and Lakshmana are some of them who've been fooled and used as allies. During his time with Bamunas, "Rama" accidentally saw "Suparnaka" while taking a walk in the Forrest and at once he gave up "Sita" and wanted to have her her for her beauty, but since she turned him down the Bamunas made them to cut off her nose for the shame they've brought. And even after the incident, King Ravana didn't want to go to war with India, but the Bamunas insisted and made the Indians go to war with King Ravana. Indians lost the war before it even got started, when Rama died from just one arrow shot by King Ravana but his brother Vibheeshana betrayed him and gave the secret of "Amurthaya" [herb of eternal life] to the Indians, thinking that he'll be king after the Great King Ravana but the people rejected him for his acts and also because King Ravana has already handed over the kingdom to Suparnaka as the new Queen just before he went into Meditation.

After the war was over, Rama was suspicious about Sita because the Bamuna's were behind that. Sita had 2 children of his but he wanted to test her through the "Agni Parikshanaya" [Test of Fire] and the results proved that Sita was pure and innocent. But due to the nature of Rama towards women made her suicide by jumping off a waterfall. Later his brother too suicide him self by jumping into a river called "Sayuru" at Ayodhya due to the barbaric acts of Rama. Indian people too had rejected Rama as a king due to his violent nature but due to the nature of the story been told, they were worshiped as Gods to date. Throughout our long running history, the Indians invaded Lakdiva on many occasions but got defeated effortlessly under mighty Kings such as "Pandukabhaya", "Wijayabahu", "Walagamba" and "Parakramabahu the Great"

At Ravana’s time, he used to travel not only in the Air but in Underground Tunnels as well, and like nowadays Highways, it was a massive Tunnel System. In villages there still are very few people who have the knowledge and know where the Tunnels are exactly. Recently they have discovered a Tunnel during road construction at “Saadinnagala”, which the archeologists believe is not an Entrance but a hole in wall in-between entrances.  The villages say that there’s a Pond and a Palace under 100s of feet inside these Tunnels which they’ve seen where Flowers too grow without any Sunlight. They said that the Tunnel System still functions and they could travel to different Cities without getting noticed or seen and Bandarawela “Dhoowa Temple” is one of the in-between Tunnels in the System. About 2 km above “Karandagolla-Odukirinda”, there is an Entrance to a Ravana’s Tunnel System. ( So far there are 3 Tunnels discovered, one in “Uva” in 1917, one in “Sthreepura” and the other near “Ravana Falls”)

Legend say that the great king Ravana is not dead but in an Unconscious like Meditation state after the war which explains in the “Hela Ayurvedaya” where people have lived for thousands of years without aging where their Hair and Nails still grow until they’re awaken and it has been proved by many Anjanam seekers. (Collyrium Method)

The time where we live in is a time where everything is based on Material such as, Coal, Ferrous, Oil, Minerals n such is going to end soon and the world will have to look back at the main ancient Energy source Sunlight where the great king Ravana will be re-awaken. According to the sources, there are 7 Underground Palaces recorded and the above mentioned and “Mawanella” are few of those which we haven’t explored yet.

And about 7-8 Generations before Ravana, there was a king called Maha Bali in Lakdiva who was taken to the Underworld by the 4^th Avatar of Vishnu the midget which could be the Tunnel system or as the Legend says which could be the Inca Civilization right across on the other side of Lakdiva. (Actually it’s no Legend but has mentioned in old books as well, since Sir Anthony Elephant has abolished all the ancient traditional teachings and methods, people used different methods of transmitting the knowledge from Generation to Generation and Rumors are one of them)

  

Prehistoric Sri Lanka

(Source: Dr. Gamini Adhikari)

According to Archeologists, the Sigiriya is well over 6000-10,000 years old where they’ve used Pots and different kinds of cooking methods, various Rituals as an Advance Neolithic group of people and altogether 14,000 years of Neolithic culture, and also have found 40,000 year old Geometric Microliths and a “Human Skelton in Balangoda”, “Bellanbendipelassa Cemetery”  15-20 other skeletons during excavations. and also have found proof of Lions living over 1000 of years which they believe that extinct because of the Climates and the Geography has changed over the rough periods of time.(Savanna grass lands)  Sri Lanka (Lakdiva) however has a history of over  500,000 years and altogether 125 million years where they’ve found fossils of Plants at “Thabbowa” belonging to the Jurassic Period. Excavations done in the early 1930’s by Dr. Deraniyagala have found a Tooth belonging to “Homopithecus Sinhalayus” and 2 pieces of Eye Lobe belonging to “Homo Sinhalayus” (A link between Homo-Sapiens and Homo-Erectus) in the excavated land (mines) and the soil has verified to be aging over 2 million years (Pleistocene) The first evolutionary stages of man were Australopithecus and Homo-habilis but Homo-erectus was the one migrated to Asia.

According to the Gondwanaland Theory, Archeologists believe that the humans were originally from the continent of Africa and Sri Lanka got separated from India about 10,000 years ago but I believe the whole Evolution process started here in Sri Lanka and then disperse into the world periodically

After Waylon discovering massive set of Stone Age tools from “Thambapanni” in 1915’s Archeologists have also found 2 skeletons in “Pothana” near Sigiriya (Dry Zone) and “Pallemalala” (Coastal Areas) in recent excavations have both got the same kind of skeletons structure but the Coastal skeleton’s teeth are small and heavily used assuming exposed to various kinds of food consumption. And in “Panama south – Miniha Gal Kanda” (Yala block II) they’ve found Stone Tools aging over 125,000 years (Mesolithic ) old but further 2 meters down from the first layer of stone tools they again found another set of stone tool aging from 800,000 years (Paleolithic).

*We still haven’t’ been able to do a decent amount of excavation due to Lack of Funding and Assistance by the Government and constantly losing the sites to Mining and lack of understanding the importance of Value.

the Signs

The signs indicating end, is basic to our common knowledge. It's the peak of their civilization. Striving to keep ahead of time to survive in this ever changing world. No time to think about the future. Gods has become a myth;d nature and humanity are no more.Wars and development causes Natural Disasters.  people against people and nations against nations, even the races are against races and the religions are against religions, because humans couldn't come to a conclusion. Everything begins with a Law and those days we didn't have laws because every human knew the importance of the Balance of Nature but as the later part of the human history, The Law became a much more literate and complex due to human nature and had to be amended under all circumstances
