The Trident of Peru in Ramayana

Dr. P. V. Vartak from Pune has written a researched version of Ramayana which is titled Vastav Ramayan (Real Ramayana). According to this version, South America was known during the Ramayan era. Indians migrated to South America which is called "Patal Lok" in sanskrit.

The book highlights many places in South America which reflect Indian culture, such as a Sun Temple, Elephants, Lord Ganesha, snakes carved on ancient monuments and even Lord Hanuman, etc.

In Ramayan, when King Sugriv directs his men in all directions in search of Sita, the wife of Sri Rama (who ruled India from the city of Ayodhya), after she is abducted by Ravana, the king of the mighty Lanka kingdom. He instructs one group to go towards the east direction and asked them to look for a Trident etched on a mountain.  King Surgive says that the Trident is “A long Golden flag-stick with three limbs stuck on top. It always glitters in when seen from sky”.

The Sanskrit shloka, from the Valmiki Ramayan is the one in which these instructions can be seen: (Kishkindha-39/47-48)

The Paracas Candelabra of the Andes by David Stanley from Nanaimo, Canada (Wikipedia)

This trident is on the west coast of Peru – Lima and it really can be seen glittering from the sky even today! Trident is called The Paracas Candelabra of the Andes. The Ramayana refers to the Andes as the 'Udaya' Mountains. 'Udaya' (उदय) is Sanskrit for 'Sunrise'.

The perfect description can only mean that either Sugriv or somebody even earlier must have seen this trident from the sky, probably from an airplane (Vimana)! Around 100 miles from this hill with the Trident, there are the now well known Nazca lines, massive geometric shapes drawn on land spread over miles. These can be seen only from the sky. Was it an ancient airport?

Nazca lines

Dr. Vartak says that the trident, a sign of the east was created by Lord Vishnu around 15000 – 17000 years ago. And the Nazca lines, according to him, are the signs of the ancient airport of King Bali, Sugriva’s brother, around 15000 years ago! It may be also be noted that Maya, who started the Mayan civilization, is also mentioned in Ramayan as Ravana’s friend who eventually assisted him in the war with Ram. Ravana, as is well-known was a friend of Bali too. So were Bali and Maya close associates too?

In Ramayana, Sage Valmiki describes about a circular city which is towards west of bharata khanda (India). This could be the city of Yerevan in Armenia, which is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities of the world.
