Quote:

A hypothesis is projected 'that the Indus-Sarasvati civilization goes back to 9000 years and that it had an earlier episode of hidden pre-history. It was founded by the survivors of a lost Indian coastal civilization destroyed by the great global floods at the end of the Ice Age.' (ibid., p. 205)."

You mean, a peer-reviewed journal published such stuff? Citing Graham Hancock and hinting at the "hinted pre-history" of lost Civilisations? And this from the President of the Geological Society of India (which publishes the Journal). In-bloody-credible.

> ... We should build up a strong indigenous school of research in this vital area, with modern tools of underwater sampling, videography and mapping. Only then, can we come out with bold hypothesis to alter the entrenched 'semi-colonial' perspectives of history and pre-history that will stand the test of time.

Ah, the ideological mission statement at last.
