The History of Earth: the Indian Version Prashobh Karunakaran

The History of Earth taps into the ancient culture of India to infer what transpired from the very beginning of earth till now. It enumerates the events that started occurring 8.6 billion years ago down to this day. This book aims to amalgamate the findings by these ancient 'scientists' with the knowledge gathered by scientists of today. Ever since humans evolved into thinking beings, their minds have always wandered in questions like: What is this life all about? Why are we here on earth? Where are we going? Why are there stars in the sky? Why do we really have relationships and quarrels? Could the destructive World War II and the wars since have been prevented if people really learnt from history (HIS-story)? How many trillion dollars would such knowledge be worth? International criminals like Hitler could have foreseen from historical evidences that their vile adventures in the wrong directions would lead to failures. Realizing how important the answers to these questions are, Indian 'scientists' since ancient times have worked and thought hard using various methodologies. On the other hand, today's scientists have to wait for evidences like the discovery of the ripples of the original Big Bang to infer its' history. This is because the methodology used today dwells in the physical realm. Focusing purely on this realm will lead to the same truths that these ancient 'scientists' discovered, but it might take a longer time. 'Scientists' from magnificent ancient cultures like ancient India, China and Greece/Rome have recorded down their findings. We should delve deep into their wisdom and not reinvent the wheel.
