SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD …. AS RAMAYANA SAYS RAVANA’S CASTLE WAS GAURDED BY FOUR TUSKED ELEPHANTS …..
Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America.

From today’s scientific point of evolution of animals in accordance with the geological eras go back to millions of years back. How, then such description could be found in Valmiki Ramayana?
The antiquity of Valmiki Ramayana, there has been specific references and description about certain strange animals as found in Sundarakandam is as follows:

1. The grand palace of Ravana was protected by many strange fierce animals.
2. Certain characteristic that horses were neighing.
3. There were many elephants and they had four tusks.
4. Protected by fat animals and birds.
5. The palace was protected by four tusked elephants and as well as three tusked animals. However, three tusked animals are not named.

The first four depictions are in Sundarakanda (4.25-30) and the fifth one also in Sundarakanda (9.5) of Valmiki Ramayana.

Thereafter, Hanuman the glorious one neared and observed the best residence of Rakshasas and the house of Ravana, containing elephants with four tusks and also those with three tusks, those with two tusks and still not crowded. It was protected by soldiers bearing raised weapons.

Four-tusked Trilophodon lived from the Miocene epoch (26 million years ago) to the Pleistocene epoch (2 million years ago) in Eurasia, Africa, and North America. Also seen in the Miocene epoch were the downward-curving tusks of Deinotherium. Platybelodon, with its lowered, flattened, shovel-shaped tusks probably used for scooping vegetation from the water, occupied Asia and North America in the late Miocene epoch and the Pliocene epoch (7 million years ago). The largest proboscidean, the Imperial Mammoth, Mammithera imperater, was well adapted to the cold in Eurasia, Africa, and North America during the Pleistocene epoch. Its teeth were much like those of the modern elephant.SHRI RAMA AND THE HISTORY OF RAMAYANA …..MORE THAN A MILLION YEARS OLD ….
