HEY. HOLD ON. ANCIENT TIMES DOESNOT MEAN ONLY LAST 2000 years or so. The universe is coming since ages, which spans across millions of years. The entire creation goes on in cycles from being very intelligent like everyone in the world at that time having higher level of enlightment and then moving in to ignorant levels and then again in to the enlightened stages. The cycle is divided into an Ascending Arc and a Descending Arc, each of 12,000 years. Within each Arc fall four Yugas or Ages, called Kali, Dwapara, Treta, and Satya, corresponding to the Greek ideas of Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Golden Ages.
The above is an excerpt from the "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda. here are acclaims for this book from all over the world - http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap16.html
Search for the word Yuga and you will get the exact breakdown of these evolutionary cycles of life in endless cycle of divine drama.
WHEN IN DOUBT, SEEK THE SUPPORT OF THE ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE AND THIS IS WHAT MY INTUTION SAYS. AND HERE IS THE ANSWER FROM THE ENLIGHTENED SAINT THAT THE WEST IS UNDENIABLY SAYING IS THE AMBASSADOR OF THE INDIAN SPIRITUALITY TO THE WORLD. THINK ABOUT IT DEAR FRIEND.
