Worlds oldest religion and civilization dated back to 7500 BC recently found.

That article is 7 yrs old, so there have been several published discoveries of even older civilizations since then. Here is the latest article dated just last month from Smithsonian magazine of a prehistoric temple that goes back 11,000 yrs. The pictures in the slideshow are incredible. It's amazing to think they did all the carvings with only stone tools! http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history-archaeology/gobekli-tepe.html

Religion was brought down-to-Earth by the first two humans (whatever their name may be). Since Islam, Christanity and Judaism believe in One God and the first human beings, which religion can be older than them? What the Scientist/Geologist have discovered are the first Pagan Religion (still existing in the eastern part of this world) ... So, it was nothing new!

Oh this is quite old news. When the explorations took place (2002), it was all over the papers and it was also thought that the submerged habitations could have been Dwarka, the lost kingdom of Lord Krishna. As we all know, after the end of Mahabharata, the yadavs (Krishna’s clan) fought among themselves and perished and Krishna’s capital was also devoured by the sea. However, after this initial enthusiasm, nothing much was heard of this exploration. A lot of effort is being made to properly date the battle of Mahabharata and to find out if this epic is all myth or had actually occurred. If the undersea explorations are further carried out and dated properly, the battle of Mahabharata will be get new importance.

WOW! it's the time before the first human being was created. how can that be?

True Choudary, this pushes back the date of Hinduism archaeologically to at least 7500B.C. As has been posted in a response below, there is a temple in Turkey aged 11000 years! This confirms temple culture and idolatory to as far back as that. However it is important to see the date of Dwaraka like city pushed to 7500 B.C. for it gives one date for one Krishna's existence. What interests me is that this still takes the date of Vedas further back. That is the good news part of it. Further, if the city is identified with Dwaraka, then we can start considering our Puranas to hold some part of History. Several such finds can help reconstruct Indian History without the deliberate corruptions to it from our Colonial Historians! But we must secure the scientific accuracy of the find and corroborate with our Puranas and validate some of them, so that we can start searching for newer sites by considering them to be at least part history. Take the mapping of the route of the vanished river Saraswati. The vanishing of this river is documented in the Vedas itself! Today we take them merely as religious documents!

My friend, this is a very interesting find. As far as I know, Egyptian, Indus Valley, Sumerian and Chinese- these are the very ancient civilizations. I have not made a good study of all these religions or civilizations, but the link that you gave was very interesting.

hi choudhary, very interesting findings ... but they did not mention in detail on other items found cheers
