- ‘Hole in the Ozone was the reason for melted Icebergs,’
- Science accepts mentioning it as ‘40 – 400 meters of high tide made the sea erosion.’
- The present land is the residue of the Sea level that went off after the ice age.
- It gave rise to new land regions and new nations including India, Australia and Africa
Tamil continent Kumari Kandam – believed to be the connection between Africa to South India – was located in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and has long been identified and closely associated with a hypothetical “lost land” of Lemuria.
