Old wine in new Bottle what our telugu scholars told a century back like Venkatachalam
about ancient history based on RAJATARANGINI OF KASHMIR HISTORIANS
was aceepted by foreign and indian scholars now contemporary researchers have developed a more accurate picture of ancient India, assembling new chronologies based on a
highly reliable method dating scriptural references by their relationship to the
known precession of the equinoxes.Earth's axis of rotation "wobbles," causing
constellations, as viewed from Earth, to drift at a constant rate and
along a predictable course over a 25,000-year cycle. For example, a
Rig Vedic verse observing winter solstice at Aries can be correlated to around 6500 BCE. Some scholars states, "Precessional changes are the hallmark of Hindu astronomy. We cannot ignore them in ancient texts
just because they give us dates too early for our conventional view
of human history." Besides astronomical references from scripture,
there is much to support their dates, such as carbon-14 dating, the
discovery of Indus-Sarasvati Valley cities and the recent locating of the Sarasvati River, a prominent landmark of Vedic writings.
