Abstract of the talk : Our knowledge grows from existing foundations, and so does the growth of science. A revolutionary theory solves the unsolved problem posed by previous theories, yet it gives rise to newer problems of higher complexities. This is the tetradic schema of the scientific method. If celestial evidence leads to the deep antiquity of Indian civilization, one naturally wonders what and if any terrestrial evidence exists in support of such deep antiquity. Is there archaeological, geological, oceanography,
physical anthropology, or genetic evidence that corroborates the findings of celestial evidence for the deep antiquity of Indian civilization? This presentation will explore decisive oceanography, paleontology, hydrology, astronomy, genealogy, genetics, etc. evidence that beautifully corroborates the sheet anchors of Indian civilization.
