I have read the article "PROVING THE HISTORICITY OF RAM" VERY GOOD ARTICLE INDEED FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE EXISTENCE OF SHRI RAM. BUT I HAVE GOT ONE DOUBT IN YOUR CALCULATION OF YEARS BASED ON THE CHATURYUGI.
YOU HAVE STATED THAT IF RAM EXISTED IN THE END OF 24TH CYCLE OF TRETA YUG THEN HE EXISTED SOME 1,81,49,108 YEARS AGO. BUT IN THIS CASE IF WE DO BACK CALCULATION THE NO. OF YEARS IS AS FOLLOWS:
28TH CYCLE OF CHATURYUGI-38,93,108 YEARS
27TH CYCLE OF CHATURYUGI-43,20,000 YEARS
26TH CYCLE OF CHATURYUGI-43,20,000 YEARS
25TH CYCLE OF CHATURYUGI-43,20,000 YEARS
24TH CYCLE OF CHATARYUGI- 17,28,000 YEARS OF
SATYUG & 12,96,000
YEARS OF TRETA YUG.
SO TOTAL NUMBER OF YEARS WORKS OUT TO 19,87,7108 YEARS INSTEAD OF 1,81,49,108 YEARS. I THINK YOU HAVE LEFT THE SATYUG OF 24TH CYCLE OF CHATURYUGI.

the kachvai jaipur raj claims to be suryavanshi. its library contains a family tree of this line in which ram figures at 64. their calculation also appears to be based on data in valmikiya ramayan,which places ram some over 7000 years ago. the birth details of ram by valmiki appears more reasonable as he happened to be his contemporary. The story based on 28 chaturyug can be put on backburner till some new uncontrversial evidences emerge.
