The Mystery of Ram Setu: A Massive Ancient Bridge Built By The Gods

- Visible from space, a mysterious formation of stones extends over the 30-mile stretch of sea separating India from Sri Lanka.
This is the Ram Setu, also known to many as Adam’s Bridge. Stretching between India's Pamban Island and Sri Lanka’s Mannar Island, its origins have been fiercely debated: is it a work of nature, an artifact of human hands, or was it forged by gods for an epic adventure recounted in ancient legends?
Steeped in age-old myth and surrounded by unexplained scientific anomalies, this limestone bridge lies at the center of a compelling historical mystery. And now, recent discoveries promise to shed new light on this controversial structure, offering a fresh perspective on what we thought we knew and providing hope that we may finally unravel some of its many secrets…
Given that water levels were over 100 meters lower 12,000 or so years ago during the last ice age it certainly was a land bridge in the past that humans used. People would certainly have left behind evidence of their occupation and travels.
I was just about to mention this.
I read some were you could walk across in the 1400s.
Yeah, it only stands to reason that word of mouth to explain how things that appear to be unnatural are given the reasoning of "by the gods" by people. I still find ancient relics of the fact that humans liked to explore truly fascinating. One of the really cool reasons the fact we crossed the land bridge in the Bering strait. One of the reasons proposed (among many other things) as to why Neanderthals died out was that they lacked the urge to spread out and explore vast regions.
As the waters rose, it makes sense people would keep using the bridge and figure out ways to try to keep it intact. Hence all the limestone brought in lying on top of the sand. This was clearly an effort to stabilize the bridge to prevent it from eroding away faster.
@@brianwhedon8442 We don't give enough credit to ancient civilizations understanding that sea levels will rise. That, apart from a shit ton of other things lol.
why not both ? a natural formation that was fortified with human additions till it got so smashed by weather it was abandoned
Many are interested in pre Columbian Atlantic trade. Norse, Celt, Pict, the "Sea Peoples", Egyptian coca and tobacco, African-Olmec, Phoenician, Thor Heyerdahl, etc.. and the Polynesian DNA in Zapotec and Chileans as well as Native American DNA in Polynesians pre-dating Columbus.

Love this addition to the Dark5 family of channels. Keep up the great work!
Nice video. Ram Situ is a fascinating subject, I have heard many of the stories about it.
I think that it is a natural formation that humans have added to over many thousands of years....probably since the heyday of the Harrapan culture. Those folks understood building with stone near water, just look at the artificial harbors that they included in their inland cities. Sure, they were shallow, but they were deep enough for skiffs and rafts to move along. They connected these to the coastal cities with well made canals,showing a degree of understanding of hydrology and engineering that most people think would be impossible for "primitive " people.
Just remember, people will surprise you.
It makes sense to me that there is human meddling involved in Ram Situ.
Spot on. Although I'm an indian Christian , evangelists subdue and dismiss anything outdates biblical timings and stories as well. It's baffling that they even brainwash poor uneducated villagers saying Jesus is the son of Shiva and he is the true God and last resort . 1000s of ancient temples are being targeted and labelled as satanic cult
God, the Lord Jesus Christ loves you! Restore your relationship with God by repenting of your sins and putting your faith in Jesus Christ, "... that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
Do you know why is it called Ram Setu? when you know this...that day you will feel the hard work of writing this 500 Words comment was worthless
@@trueindian6332 Well,as I understand it, Hanumat and his subjects built it to assist Rama in his efforts to recover his wife Sita from the asura who had kidnapped her in his jealousy.
I encounter arrogance enough from the Christians who surround me here in Texas. I would hope that a Hindu would be less of a hassle, but I see from your reply that you are afflicted with the same intolerance as the fanatics I am forced to deal with on a daily basis. There are many paths in life, and we don't all follow the same ones. The Muslims have a wonderful saying "May Allah be praised for his creation of such diversity."
@@lordjesuschristisgodandsaviour ,I'm not a Christian ,I don't believe in the Abrahamic religions, despite being a white skinned American. I just cannot bear the arrogance and intolerance of the version of Christianity that predominates here in the west. Perhaps if you would take the time and make the effort to learn about other religions you might feel a little less like trying to convert people to yours.
I was raised in the church, and I rejected it for moral reasons. I doubt that you would understand,but I feel that I am a better person now.
That "bridge" might have been natural and yet still very significant for the people in the area. It could be mostly natural and the people added to it to make it a bridge, then the man-made part washed away. It looks that way to me. There was probably a shallow spot with natural coral or rocks that made it possible to make a bridge by adding to it.
That sounds legit
Yes I believe it's was natural and man added to it
There are bridges in India made of ficus tree roots that are trained to cross a river. The roots fuse together where they touch and over time it creates a structure people can add to and make a bridge that gets used for 100s of years.
It seems logical that people would add to a chain of islands to make a bridge, sort of like the root bridges.
This video was fascinating while being simultaneously informative and curiously lacking in important details.

I don't know why everyone thinks it can't be man-made. Humans built things all over this planet that are spectacular, pyramids in Egypt and Central America, Angkor Wat, The Amazon, Turkey...and on and on. A simple bridge was an easy project.
The Indians think it's gods, the West know it's just normal submerged land now, possibly humans threw some extra dirt on it through slave labour. Or they didn't. Nothing mythical about it
Wow, the mystery of the Ram Setu (or Adam's Bridge) is truly captivating! 😊 I love how it's nestled between lore and science, and the debate around its origins just adds more intrigue. Whether it's nature's marvel, a man-made wonder, or a testament to an ancient legend, it's incredible to think about. Thanks for diving into this topic! Cheers from a history and mythology enthusiast! 🌉📖✨
Love the Awesome historical accounts you upload mbro! 💯 👍😝✌️
Great job on this video.
I look forward to everything you post on this channel and the others. Love it
I love when a tsunami creates a once in a lifetime low tide that reveals entire cities that emerge from mythology to reality. The aftermath I don't like so much.....also what do you see at 5:33 😂
I'd like to hear about the Ark of the Covenant. How it was seen as weapon by some, caused sickness to others, links to its whereabouts in the Dead Sea scrolls, is it of holy origin or a lump of uranium etc.. This channel rocks.
It cannot be a lump of uranium because uranium doesn't just come out of the ground like that. It comes out of the ground as ore that requires very technical refining to turn into the uranium you're thinking of.
It's neither, you don't actually believe in those stories of ancient weapons and gods 🤣

Thank you
Was told years ago , that the Adam's bridge , was built by the forest people that lived in the trees like monkeys
It's not your Abrahamic Adams bridge...it's native name is Ram Setu 😢
I was at the train station in 2016 going home from my sister's funeral and I was in a very sad place. Out of nowhere a man asked me about some people there and I told him they were Amish. After explaining he said, "Like the Jain's in my country". He was an Indian man with really blue eyes. He then went on to tell me of Rama and Sita. And then said that NASA satellite images just confirmed it was man made. It was like divine intervention. There was a noticable change in the weather as well as my spirit. It really helped me on my journey.
Considering what we know about the water levels, seems reasonable there would have been structures, if not an entire city built on that strip of land.
A fun look into modern controversy
As you can see that there is a stone pathway under the water, this also prove that it was there but sections of it were put together to makes it a bridge so it was not entirley build but it was added bit by bit as there were cut off section between the already rocks you see, so yes it makes sense. As the water level rose it basically sunk to the bottom so there is a perfect simple explanation for it as I described it... but the rest of the stories of gods and angles and fighting it is upto each person what they make of it....
my consensus too, it was never complete, but used ferries for the larger gaps
@@thelastdruidofscotlandYes, it looks like boats were added together while on the top was the walkway so it does make perfect senses but not as people think.
Became an invasion route to the island
Thanks, Dark5 Ancient Mysteries.
The Sri Pada footprint imprint is 67 inches long and clearly carved. It is also symbological in design rather than anatomical. There are many near identical impressions in Thai Buddhist temples claiming to be the footprints of the Gotama Buddha, but as they are similar in size to Adam's footprint it is obvious they are symbols not actual impressions. Unlike the Sri Lanka footbrint, most of Thailand's are on vertical surfaces.
In Scotland and parts of northern England are carvings that are more anatomical in size and shape that are variously named as St. Columba's Footprint and other saints such as St. Bede. It seems the pre-Medieval world had a common practice to mark the travels of their holy men.
“The rocks predate the sand itself”
Pick a lane y’all keep saying you can’t date stone at Giza so you can’t date these rocks either
And hey stop throwing reality on the poor boys, it will sizzle their brains. That's why we came up with the "aliens" answer for them. It keeps them warm and cozy on their Internet away from people
You can date when a stone is formed by natural processes, you can’t date when the stone was shaped by man made processes.
Someone improved an existing land bridge.
BLASPHEMOUS how dare you trample on the Hindu myths !! (Keep going😊)
A video about Dwarka the fabled city of lord Krishna. It was supposedly sighted off shore during a tsunami. Interesting story.
Yes that's what I was thinking about. Dwarka, I couldn't remember the name of it. It was right before a terrible tsunami but it has always amplified my imagination when it comes to ancient history.
That's not ancient history, that's an ancient tale. Historians have the esteemed job of separating the two
nice use of sanskrit font - and great work as always!
That’s neat
When was the full structure last above water? And how would it have been affected by the sea level rise at the end of the younger dryas?
Do a video about star-forts please
There needs to be a study on if the megalithic sites of nan Midol and Gadam Padang are related they both use the same pentagonal rocks in their construction. Padang is the oldest construction ever discovered.
The Nan Madol ones are crazy the people we now that have lived there to our knowledge just make up lore about it but none of them ever knew who made it because they all migrated to the island way after the structure was built .
I believe they knew the scale and difficulty in that construction.
3:00 I work at a CNC machining shop thought someone blew something up lol
people have always built bridges that obviously need building-it could have been originally built out of practicality because an older land bridge was no longer above water-it's amazing and should be preserved
6227 maden ave los angeles ca 90043 fbi going to raid them migers
But why build it. I'm not saying we didn't but what in the island was so important that we built a 30 mile bridge to get there. And why not just sail. It's all strange.
The older limestone on the younger sand leads to the conclusion that someone tried to preserve the bridge by reinforcing it with rock. Most likely to prevent it from eroding away faster as water levels rose
@@Spectre-wd9dl this is the key. There needs to be more extensive research done into the ancient sites of Sri Lanka to determine their ages and their importance in the past. No doubt something coincides with the ages of the bridge
It’s a volcanic ejection/ plate movement feature
The volcano transported square limestone rocks from various distant places?
Juxtapose the image of Ram Setu ‘bridge’ to the DaVinci painting where Adam almost touches the Hand of G-d. The bridge connections are quite similar in shape.
It's a wonder created by man. We are wonderfully creative... for good and evil.
That was a pretty cool fairytale. The Great flood of Noah’s time explains everything in this video. The limestone boulders were deposited there when the flood waters subsided. You’re welcome.
Before sea levels rose it must have been possible to travel along it...
Isn’t that arrow thought to be a nuke
🌟🌠🌟
It is actually quite easy to lift large stones if they are underwater ☝️ this is also how the pyramids were made 💯
Natural formation and children's stories.
Could it be due to glacial movement? Like the edge or end of a glacier maybe. That would explain older boulders on “younger” sand.
Preposterous!
@@dmitriho3671 give me proof it is or shut the hell up troll.
What the hell... The first story MOST be the next God Of War storyline 😊
Linguistic Analysis indicates that numerous cultures share a developmental origin indicated by preference to use particular letters of alphabet in names and words. There is migration from America to Africa of Male Tswana leaving behind a shared ancestry with Toltec and Aztec. Proving that might require genetic testing of Tswana male DNA.
Made me think of ramuh from Final fantasy. I know that summons are based on certain beings and gods but I wonder how close they are too them.
Oh yeah, I forgot about Ramuh... There's also Shiva 😅

You need to make a similar video on SoCal ancient bridges. If you go on google earth and zoom into the seashore, and just scroll up and down. You will see perfectly strait lines that go from the shore, all the way into half the Atlantic. They are very thin, and extremely long and strait. Impossible for it to be geological. It’s like an ancient railway thin
33°37'04"N 117°58'10"W · -1.56 ft
33°55'17"N 118°27'20"W · -2.73 ft
That's the Pacific Ocean. The Atlantic is on the other side of the country.
@@dpopps2003 i just woke up, your right lmaoo, I should know I live a stone throw away. But my google earth coordinates are on point. It’s unnatural and I’ve never heard an explanation
Those are normal. You only think otherwise because you don't understand how their formed.
@@dsdgdsfegfeg so you know how a perfect line is formed that splits into two, into equal parts and continues? Nature doesn’t make strait lines on a large scale. So do tell us?

That is an impressive sight regardless of its construction being natural or otherwise... It looks like a bridge of the Gods.
These Corporations are heartless. In this case, they want to destroy a 4000 year old bridge made for religious reasons so they can make more money. It's a sickness. Don't they have enough money as it is?
Theres abundance of thorium and gallium in and around the bridge worth some where between 400 to 600 billion. That's the main reason they even floated the project in 2004. Now One more reason to hate modi is she scrapped the project
It wasn't a corporation, it was members of the government of India that wanted to do it.
@@brianwhedon8442 it's wasn't indian previous indian govt alone. The project was proposed by clinton family in 2000 , usa offered to develop deep water port in the area
@@TheKing-xp7lq Foreigners do that all the time. The Soviets offered the same thing in the 1980s. The key here is around 2005 a majority of the government changed its mind and was open to the idea by their own accord. Makes sense, since India would reap all of the transit fees themselves just like how Egypt profits off the Suez Canal
@@brianwhedon8442 Soviet were bankrupt in the 80s and they never offer economic development in any other country.
As I recall the original story, their was a hero a villain and a kidnapped bride. The hero recruited monkeys to build the bridge so he could retrieve his bride from the villain in Sri Lanka. "Monkey" was a euphinism for any human who was not of your own race in Asian cultures. Son Wu Kong is an example of this.
The point is that the Ramayana is giving a story of the end of the Tretayuga which was also the end of the Chakchusha Manvantara. That it cannot have happened in India is confirmed by the fact that Manu Vaivasvata came to India by ship and landed in the Himalaya. To think that he would have sailed upwards an indian river would be unbelievable. His starting point was the now mostly sunken continent Kumari Kandam (scientifically called Sundaland) the remaining rest of which is Australia. Once it was a part of the biggest landmass on earth called Jambudvipa and consisting of Europe, Asia, Africa and Kumari Kandam. This is the location of the Ramayana.
So the fight against Ravana didn't happen in India (which until 6000 years ago was connected to Sri Lanka). You can see the real sunken island of Lanka with Google Earth looking under water. It is now located in the east of India and by this you can also identify the bridge build by the Kinnaras for Rama. And you also can clearly see evidence that this bridge (or dam) is artificial. Also from this you can identify the mountain Hanuman brought from the Himalayas to support the wounded Kinnaras with herbs.
Similar to the Bering strait land bridge.
Although i recall there WAS a detailed study of a mostly intact section. it was composed of alternating layers of sand and stone and such things, suggesting it was built very much like a modern road, and leveled to an even surface. The funny part was they had only checked because of the monkey building legend and were rather shocked to discover it did appear to have been artificially constructed. They found ancient dwarka under the ocean too around the same time near modern day dwarka, so archeologists were already reeling somewhat at the time by their world view of human civilisation only being under 8 thousand years old being so shaken.. and finding a city several times older than that, and then a mega project bridge just as old making our largest modern day bridges look rather pathetic, only freaked them out more.
Probably why it is hard to find decent write ups on it. Too many heads in the sand.
Modern academia doesn't like its foundations to be rocked. Too much grant money has been spent on building those walls😂
What they found is NOT the Dvarka of Krishna but a later new foundation just as the today Dvarka is also a new foundation. And Sri Lanka is NOT the Lanka of Ravana. It became an Island only 6000 years ago.

Wonder how many times bridge was said in this story
My guess is it's a natural formation that was paved with limestone for some reason.
Not the material I would've used for paving in that environment, but their thinking is anyone's guess.
I find it amazing the builders of Adam's Bridge managed to copy exactly the natural limestone geological formations found in limestone shoals all over the planet.
How clever to perfectly camouflage their construction to look like a natural formation...
It's not Adams bridge
Abortion is murder

Amazing
When did the gods build the bridge? What was the sea level at the time it was thought to be built? Just from the Ariel pictures alone it looks like it would have been exposed when the sea level was just a little bit lower. I imagine during the ice age that woolly mammoths could have walked over that two by two. Infact it looks like during the ice age there were just a couple of lakes there.
Not build by god's but by the species of the earth

things break and get fixed and replaced. so that shows difference in age of rocks.
I don't know if anyone would read this, but it would be cool to see something about Mesopotamia or maybe Noah's ark? Ark of the covenant? Gilgamesh and your thoughts on these subjects.
There are many partially submerged causeways in the world. They are natural in origin, partially covered by sea at high tide and then revealed as tide recedes. Undoubtedly added to and raised by humans for their convenience to make travel easier.
I don't think it should be destroyed by dredging though.
The rock used had to come from somewhere not excessively far away. A little sleuthing should turn up the limestones origin, if man made.
Um...on the subject of Adams bridge. WHAT HUMANS!?
before the waters rose it was more easily walkable. herder
The question is that Ram setu was not visible till 15th century.
Yet the story of this bridge predates 7CE (if we go by oldest bangali manuscript found) or 5BCE if we go by what indiand believe.
If the bridge was not visible how did people know there was once a bridge here? Manmade or natural the question makes me wonder.
The Ramayanna. Ram and Hanuman and the Bear King and many other animals build a bridge to save Sita.

I built it. Boom, mystery solved.
Why so serious
Note that noone has attempted map or photograph these bridge formations to stop the doubts or arguments on its structure. It seems revanlant to keep it shroud in mystery instead of the truth for Hinduism. To keep insisting that human civilization is not way older and documented to learn and not repeat the same mistakes of the past but with the technological advancement ongoing in India, China, Russia and African continents. That narrative will shift from a Western point of view to a truer historical perspective not deliberately lies.

10:05 stating “there is no evidence” is not evidence in itself to the contrary of any proposition or theory.
This argument is used when someone is backed up against the wall in a debate and they themselves have *no evidence to the contrary* of your theory or evidence.
If the geologist wanted to disprove the theory that the bridge was built by human hands he should show evidence that it was made naturally. If he can’t, there’s no evidence for his theory.
NO NOT!!! (Indian accent)
You can tell that's part of the geography, it's only human hype that comes up with all these theories
Read Ramayana
You Can not date how old a ROCK is, unless it contains organic material. Carbon-12 analysis won't work. You would need to find organics underneath the rocks to have a slight idea based on when that was deposited. ANYONE who claims to know how old a rock is, really ain't got a clue...
