NASA Discover Ram Setu Bridge
The NASA Shuttle has imaged a mysterious historic ram setu bridge between India and Sri Lanka.
The ram setu bridge was once purportedly satisfactory on foot till 1480 AD when a cyclone moved the sand around.

This recently-discovered ram setu bridge has been located to be made of a chain of limestone shoals. Its special curvature and composition through age exhibit that it is man-made.
· Why Ram Setu is Called Adam’s Bridge
The ram setu bridge is called presently named Adam’s Bridge (most popularly recognized as Ram Setu) ram setu bridge length is about 18 miles (30 km) long.
This data is an integral issue for perception into the mysterious legend known as Ramayana, in accordance to which the bridge used to be constructed below the supervision of Lord Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.
This ram setu bridge begins as the chain of shoals from the Dhanushkodi tip of India’s Pamban Island and ends at Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island.
Water between India and Sri Lanka is solely three to 30 ft (1 to 10 meter) deep. Owing to shallow waters, this bridge provides a hassle in navigation as huge ships can't journey in the shallow waters of the Pamban channel.
The discovery of this ram setu bridge is now not solely necessary for archaeologists, however, it additionally offers a probability to the world to be aware of historical records linked to Indian mythology.
Ram setu is also called Adam's Bridge, is a series of natural terrorist attacks, between
P Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the northeast coast of
Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, on the northwest coast of Sri Lanka.
Geological evidence suggests that this bridge was the site of international ties between India and Sri Lanka.

The feature is 48 miles (30 mi) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) and talk Strait (northeast).
Some of the regions are dry, and the seas in this area rarely exceed 1 meter (3 ft) in depth, thus preventing movement.
It is reported to have been on foot until the 15th century when hurricanes deepened the route. Rameswaram temple records say Adam's Bridge was above sea level until the storm erupted in 1480.
· Ram Setu Bridge History mentions and etymology
The ancient Sanskrit of ancient India Ramayana (7th BCE to 3rd century CE) was written by Valmiki on a bridge built by the god Rama and his army of Vannara (monkeys) in Lanka and rescued his wife Sita from the king of Rakshasa, Ravana.
The Lanka area in Ramayana is widely interpreted as modern-day Sri Lanka which makes this distance to the Nala or Rama bridge. Analysis of several ancient Ramayana translations by archaeologists has led to the discovery of Lanka Pura not far south of the Godavari River.
This is based on archaeological, botanical, and ram setu bridge historical evidence as no archaeological evidence has been found.
Scholars vary according to the area of Ramayana but most of the suggestions are based on H's work. Sankalia finds epic Lanka elsewhere in the eastern part of present-day Madhya Pradesh.
Some of the earliest Islamic sources refer to a
mountain in Sri Lanka as Adam's Peak, (where it is said that Adam fell to the
ground).
Sources describe Adam crossing from Sri Lanka to India on a bridge after his expulsion from the Garden of Eden; which leads to the name of Adam's Bridge. Alberuni (c. 1030) was perhaps the first to describe it this way.
A British cartographer in 1804 prepared the first map naming the site after Adam's bridge.
· Where Is The Sam Setu Bridge Located
The bridge begins as a series of shoes from the summit of Dhanushkodi on the Indian Ocean Island.
It ends on Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. The island of Pamban is located in India, at a distance of 2 km long. Mannar Island is connected to Sri Lanka by a highway.
· Ram Setu Bridge Geological evolution
A great variety of ideas and confusion exist about the nature and origin of this structure.
By the 19th century, two important ideas were prominent in defining the building. Another thought that the process of expansion and expansion was underway.
At the same time, one assumed that it was founded by separating Sri Lanka from India. These sharp edges later broke into large rectangular blocks, which may have given rise to the belief that the road was the work of a man.
According to V. Ram Mohan of the Center for Natural Hazards and Disaster Study of the University of Madras, "the reconstruction of the island is a challenging task and must be done based on specific evidence".
comprehensive field studies explain much uncertainty about the nature and origin of Adam's Bridge.
It mainly consists of a series of parallel leaflets on a ram setu bridge stone base and conglomerates that are strong on the surface and grow rough and soft as they descend on a sandy beach.
Studies have varied to describe the structure as a series of fragments, coral springs, a wall built in the region due to depletion of the earth's crust, double tumble, sandstone, or barrier islands.
One account states that this form of the land was once the largest number in the world. The tomb is divided into a series of shoals with a slight rise in sea level over the last few thousand years.
The numerical model ensures a stable sewage source and a long single-directional or the bi-directional (monsoonal) current line.
The Marine and Water Resources Group of the Application Space (SAC) of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) concludes that Adam's Bridge is made up of 103 small rivers.
SAC research, based on satellite remote sensing data but without verification of the field itself, finds rocks lying on a straight pattern.
The feature consists of a rock wall (flat, protruding, especially during low-level waves, or near the emerging part of the rock), sand cays (a collection of loose coral sands and sea rocks), and deep channels that occasionally enter. Some studies differentiate different coral sources such as ribbons and atoll tools.
The geological process that created the structure is based on a single study of demolition, error prevention, and woodworking.
On the contrary, another theory puts it in the continuous deposition of sand and the natural process of geology that leads to the formation of a series of barrier islands associated with rising sea levels.
Another theory confirms the origin and unity of the bridge over the old sea (meaning that two parts of India and Sri Lanka were once connected) where coral reefs were established.
One study claims that the origin of the building came from seawater that ran in a straight line north and left south of Rameswaram and Talaimannar. Sand could be disposed of by a line pattern near the present shadow site between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar by the later collection of corals over these straight sandy bodies.
From a completely contradictory point of view, one group of geologists suggests the idea of crustal thinning, block faulting, and the community built in the region due to depletion and ensures that the development of this space increases coral growth in the area and, the coral cover served as a 'sand trap'.
One study concludes that there is insufficient evidence to suggest a strong emergence and that the raised canal in southern India is likely to be caused by altitude.
Another study concludes that during the recession of 100,000 years ago, ram setu bridge provided an inland link between India and Sri Lanka. According to renowned bird scientists Sidney Dillon Ripley and Bruce Beehler, this supports the vicariance model of speculation in other Indian Subcontinent birds.
· Ram Setu Bridge Age
Studies under the "Rameswaram Project" of the Geological Survey of India (GSI), which includes coral cooling, indicate that Rameswaram Island emerged 125,000 years ago.
The observations of Radiocarbon samples in this study suggest that the domain between Rameswaram and Talaimannar may have been exposed sometime between 7,000 and 18,000 years ago.
Thermoluminescence dating by GSI concludes that dunes between Dhanushkodi and Adam's Bridge began to form about 500-600 years ago.
Some studies suggest that the emergence of rivers and other evidence indicates their recurrence, and the coral sample gives 4,020 ± 160 years of radiocarbon.
A team from the Center for Remote Sensing (CRS),
Bharathidasan University led by S.M. Ramasamy talked about the beaches of the Adam's
Bridge building for about 3,500 years, concluding that the land/beaches
between Ramanathapuram and Pamban were formed due to the flooding currents of
the sea.
About 3,500 years ago, the currents moved in a straight line on the north and left sides south of Rameswaram and Talaimannar. In a similar study, the carbon footprint of some ancient beaches between Thiruthuraipoondi and Kodiyakarai indicates that Thiruthuraipoondi beach dates back to 6,000 years and Kodiyakarai about 1,100 years ago.
· Rama Origin legends
Indian culture and religion incorporate the myths of the building as having a supernatural origin.
According to a Hindu article, Ramayana, Ravana, king of demons from Lanka (Sri Lanka) kidnapped Rama's wife Sita and took her to Lankapura, in retaliation for Rama and her brother Lakmana by cutting off the nose of Ravana's sister, Shurpanakha.
Shurpanakha had threatened to kill and eat Sita if Rama refused to leave him to marry Shurpanakha instead.
To save Sita, Rama had to cross into Lanka. Brahma created an army of vanaras (clever war monkeys) to help Rama.
Led by Nila and under the direction of Nala engineering, the Banaras built a bridge to Lanka in five days. The bridge is also called Nala Setu, the Nala bridge.
Rama crossed the sea on the ram setu bridge and followed Ravana for several days. He shot hundreds of golden arrows that became serpents that cut off Ravana's heads but eventually he had to use the divine Brahma arrow (which had the power of the gods and did not miss its target) to kill Ravana.
None of the first Ramayana species provide a local identification that suggests that Lankapura was Sri Lanka.
The Ramayana versions arrived in Sri Lanka in the
sixth century but the identification of Sri Lanka and the land of Ravana is
first mentioned in the 8th-century texts in southern India.
The idea that Sri Lanka is the Lankapura of the Ramayana is thought to have been inspired by the tenth century by the Chola rulers who wanted to invade the island and the identification of Sri Lanka as the land of Ravana was supported by the rulers of the Aryacakravarti king who regarded themselves as guardians of the bridge.
The idea of Rama Setu as a sacred symbol to be allocated for political purposes was strengthened after protests against the Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project.
