There is now evidence emerging that Neandrathaler and other species of humans lived until about 8,000 years ago. When such evidence is found in the area of Kishkinta. we will be more convinced. The Ramayana bears a degree of devotion no other Puranic stories such as that of MANU or MAHA BALI bear. Because the first generation of people who knew Sri Rama and Sri Krishna, had so much devotion to them, that their lives and events were recorded in precise detail with all the geographical names also given. Only after the first Five or Six generations does memory begin to fade and people start adding some "extras" to the story, which is a problems. But these "extras" do not take away from the original truth of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna. They were some of the earliest Prohphets of Hinduism. They both were Vedic Scholars - many Vedic Scholars were not born into brahmin families, they were Kshatriyas and some like Veda Vyasa Muni were Shudras. They both invented many military weapons and war strategies to stop the "Asuras" from disturbing "Sanatana Dharma". They did not argue like some foreign Prophets that "non-believers" should be killed. They defended Arya Varta but did not invade other lands. Even after killing Ravana, Rama anointed Vibhishana as the King. Rama was deified because he carried the Divine Spark in Him. Hindus will "deify" anyone who is "super-human" and tries harder than the average person to be Dharmic.
