With old civilisations like the Hindu, much proof and evidence is lost over time. Everything seems like "stories". After the "holocaust" and "programs" from the 10th to the 15th centuries, the Hindu intelligentia and along with them much useful and accurate histories have been lost. Read, V.S. Naipaul's "India: A Wounded Civilisation" - it is a must read for every Indian, of all religions. Without going into details, there are good reasons to think Sri Rama lived around 8,000 years ago, about 1500 years after the last ice-age. He must have been an extraordinary man because people, his contemporaries WANTED TO remember him for his great qualities and prowess. They made a full record of his life. Even before Valmiki wrote down his life history, The Ramayana [The series (of events) of Rama] was being sung in the form of "folk songs" by the people of North and East India. Valmiki, codified all the songs into proper Sanskrit. He also recorded faithfully all the geographical names of all the places Sri Rama and Sri Lakshmana visited. I am of the view that the "monkies" they met were "Neandrathal Humans" = another species of humans. VA-NARA in Sanskrit means "OR HUMANS", that is "Alternate or Other Humans". Valmiki is not lying when he reports the conversations between Sri Rama and the people of Kishkinta. Sri Hanuman, was a master of the language, his power of speech, correct speech, endeared him to everyone. Monkeys cannot speak. Sri Hanuman was over 7 feet tall.

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.
