Was this a bridge?

NASA Images Find 1,750,000 Year Old Man-Made Bridge between India and Sri Lanka
Adam´s Bridge is 30 km long

"In the eighteenth incarnation (of Lord Krishna), the Lord appeared as King Rama. In order to perform some pleasing work for the demigods, He exhibited superhuman powers by controlling the Indian Ocean and then killing the atheist King Ravana, who was on the other side of the sea" - Srimad Bhagavatam

The bridge´s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge´s age is also almost equivalent.

This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in tredha yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).

In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.

This information may not be of much importance to the archeologists who are interested in exploring the origins of man, but it is sure to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come to know an ancient history linked to the Indian mythology.

If this was a 'man'-made bridge 1,75 mio BP then HE was Rama...

Why would "curves" indicate human activity? I'd think that humans would look to build in a straight line.

Because of the huge local religious interest in this bridge idea I believe there has been some extensive underwater examination of the area.

The NASA photos just re-ignited the interest.

I will try and find the references but I believe nothing manmade was reported.

I think the foundation is more important than how straight the line is. If there was a 'bridge', the builders would have been guided and limited, forced even, by the location and availability of a solid seabed as near to the water surface as could be. I can see how the underwater situation would dictate those curves in a 'bridge'...

But... a 'bridge'? 1.75 mio BP? What kind of 'bridge' could that have been? Surely not concrete or steel, right? Brick and mortar? Naaah... A construction like a bamboo bridge on stilts then...? For 20 miles?
And why a bridge there? Was there so much hominid traffic between Sri Lanka and the mainland that it warranted building a 30km/20 mile bridge? Sounds a bit absurd, doesn't it? Considering the projected total of 100,000 hominids max max on the entire globe at the time.
And who would have built that bridge then? Only HE was around, afaik, so only HE could be a candidate, couldn't he?
ORRRR... could this have been one of those mysterious mega structures of the Nehilim...?

And again the sea levels of the period ought to be taken into consideration, but I see no indication that they have been.
If those sea levels were 300 feet lower than today, for instance, and that is pretty likely, then Sri Lanka was a peninsula to India's mainland connected by a landbridge. Why a 'bridge' on dry land...?

Or could it have merely been a natural formation that was uncovered when sea level was low?

For starters I'd say leave out the "natural" in that sentence: "it was a formation that was uncovered when sea levels were low." Natural or not.
My point is: assuming it was uncovered, why would anyone build a bridge on it?

This is what the coastlines of the era would have looked like. Sri Lanka/Ceylon wasn't an island! No island, no water. No water, no bridge.

there you go, no need for boats - HE just built bridges to everywhere.

Yep. And Obama can't hold a candle to him!

I'd love for it to be true, but it takes a lot of believing I think, but fingers crossed.
