You may want to read the posts we have written on this blog about the indus valley civilization. I do believe that proto-dravidian - a precursor to tamil was spoken in the Indus. i am intrigued by your Naal Meen and Kol Meen - i agree vinn meen is used still in Tamil for the stars. can you explain with citations why Naal Meen means the Sun? It will be very helpful for my research into the IVC. Vinothkumar,

Sreedhar, Aryabhata and his follower Varahamihira lived in the 5th& 6th century AD not BC as you said. Aristarchus of Samos (Greek) living in the 3rd century BC is credited to be the first one to propound a heliocentric model. It is well accepted that Copernicus just revived the idea and Galileo, Kepler and Newton provided scientific evidence. Most big temples in India are relatively modern, built in the last 1500-1600 years. Even then it will be interesting to see if we had adopted the heliocentric model eventhough Europe accepted it only in the 15th century. It is going to be difficult to determine the dates because Navagraha section may have been added to the temple later. Karthik, interesting info on the seven seas concept. thanks.

There is possiblity that seven seas could represnet Bay of Bengal,Indian Ocean,Arabian Sea ,Persian Gulf,Red Sea ,Mediteranean Sea and Agean Sea..These are seven seas one needs to cross from I go from present day Tamil Nadu to Greece.. Now all these talk of seven seas are not mentioned in puranas but they appear in sungam literature and later ones...when Cholas and Pandya were in touch with the Romans so one goes from Pumpoohar or Tuticorin .. Greeks must have been exotic to Tamils hence this story of crossing seven seas to reach exotic lands... this is my 2 cents Sreedhar ..about the 7 kadal and 7 hills…
