I’ll be buying these books as I love fictions around Mythology.
I personally always believed in the theory of humans being treated as Gods.
Strongly believe Ram, Krishna were super human beings who by their Karma attained a state of God.

I loved this book … am eagerly awaiting for the second part …
hello sir, nice attempt to make a film on such a great topic, what it requires is a master piece director like Mel Gibson, truely this movie should be made like “Apocalypto(2006)” was made. Please drop in a reply if you like my suggestion.
There was already a similar attempt by Dr. Chandraprakash Dewedi — a story on Pandavas. Cant remember the title…
PIcked up the book @ an airport, not yet finished the book. Very gripping till now
Great work. However you ought to follow up on our research into Pre-History which demonstrates that Rama actually ruled the world from the center of the earth, according to Ramayana. The Center of the earth is a place called ‘Median Biafra’ now located in Nigeria. Acrchaeological disoveries in a place called Igbo Ukwu in modern ‘Biafra’ are replete with what art commentaors have caled ‘Indian wares’ curved swords, elephant heads with heavily beaded decorations, Shiva’s entwined serpents cosmic weapon, and lots more. A woman, probably Sita was buried there and she wore a crescent crown with a total of over 11,000 beads… The archaeologist was a British – Thurstan Shaw. U may contact him for details and make your work more Africa based; which is where your Dravidian ancestors come from – the original Nagas.

A very gripping and intersting Novel. Waiting for the subsequent parts. A nice treatise and well researched book. A muist read for all youngters.
The book is excellent.
sir i wan see this movie searched but did not found if pls send me link to down load film in my id hellonaya2002@gmail.com
Very very poor book. I am sorry, but considering the world standard, it has got a weak plot and a boring narration. THe concept and the last chapter can be given some credit, but overall the book seemed worthless to me.
It is the best book i have ever read.you can`t just stop reading.
Read this book. Liked the concept but was not impressed with the research behind. The author has imagination but did not go the distance to understand history or pre-history. The storyline reads like a Hollywood movie and is rather weak.
We have completed our triligy on the origins of world civilizatuions. Our second book They Lived Before Adam won the 2009 International Book Awards in USA in the Multi-cultural Non-Fiction Cetegory. Our third book The Lost Testament of the Ancestor od Adam, provides even more proof of Dravidian origins in West Africa.Rama and Osiris were actually two names for the same person, and Sita was Isis. Egypt did not exist then. It was in Punt/Meluhha that tese things happened. In West Africa. Rama was the ruler of Atlantis before the Deluge, but due to sibling rivalry he had to leave Atlantis and he settled in the West African rain forest and still ruled the world from there. He was the first Christ/Avater of the world. Archaeologists have unearthed the city he built in the rain forest – there are many Indian artifacts there. It was he who sank Atlantis with Naga magic of Hanuman – the leader of the West African cavemen, who has been identified as the god El (Ele in Igbo and Ela in Yoruba). Osiris/Rama latter conquered Asia (including India) and created a new civilization there and imported African mythologies and legends into Asia through his West African followers who settled in Asia/India.

This is a theory similar to that of Jesus’ – a great mortal deemed as God. This is how legends are created, after all.
Overall the concept of the book is really nice. The author takes elements from Indian mythology and combines them properly with his own fantasy.
In an interview over here http://www.whackk.com/july-2010/karma-shiva-and-adventure
the author said that, “I need to take feedback honestly and sincerely to keep improving. But if the point is specifically on the modernity of the language, I don’t intend to change that. Language is a means to an end. The end in the case of a fiction book is to tell a story. If the language makes it easy, then the language is doing its job. If the language is too difficult and ends up making the story slow, then it is not doing its job. And the best way to make the language easy is to use words that people use every day, not trip them up with some classical words for which they would have to rush to the dictionary”
Anybody in the USA has this book who can ship it to me? I’m ready to pay the retail price and shipping.
