mummy of ravana

A tight slap on so called “scholars” who profess scientific approach,the recent discovery by Srilanka govt has certainly caused ripples amongst such people.
The Archaeological department has found convincing evidence suggesting existence of Ravana, in the mountain range of Noroliya.The experts say that Ravana ruled SriLanka about 10000 years ago, and he possesed ’Pushpak Viman’ (Aeroplanes) and had constructed about 5 Airports on the highest point of Noroliya mountain ranges.
Also a mummy of Ravana has been found in a cave located in one of the hills.Some balm seem to be applied to the body for preserving it, along with some metallic ornaments.
Ravan had his own Aeroplanes,which resembled ‘Eagles’ and also constructed a workshop for repairing the same.Aerodromes which were built by him were destroyed in attack by Lord Ram with a fire weapon(when he had gone to Lanka for retrieving Sita mai).The stones which were damaged during this fiery attack are still found there.And dating has revealed them to be about 10,000 yrs old.
When Ravana had kidnapped Sita mai and was returning to Lanka by his plane,he had given some tablets to her so that she doesn’t experience physical strain,which was thrown by her in fit of rage.These tablets are known as ‘Sita goli’ & are being tested in Japan.

Indeed this should serve as an eye-opener to those anti Hindu rationalist,who never question existence of gods and prophets belonging to other religions.All the talk of rationalism and scientific tempor comes up only when Hinduism is talked!
The same intellectuals dont question the veracity of Hazrat Bal in jammu and kashmir where a strand of hair is beleived to be belonging to Prophet Mohommad.Neither they question how a virgin Mary could give birth to Jesus christ.Also how could Moses cross the Red Sea along with his followers without any ship and reach present day Israel from Egypt.
Its clear that dont dare to question certain fundamentals of other religions & accept it as truth and part of history.While Hinduism is myth and every incident related to it as mythology.
June 2008 Update:
From the blog stats i have noticed the unprecedented interest of many visitors in this article regarding evidence of Ramayana in Srilanka–hence i decided to do some research and post some more information on this subject and present few more facts.
Tourism dept of Sri lanka reports:
Researchers have identified over 50 places and sites in Sri Lanka connected with the names of Lord Rama, Seethadevi and King Ravana who is said to have ruled Lankapura. There are many devotees in Sri Lanka, who worship at these sites where special temples are built. These include areas where it is believed that King Ravana has had Seethadevi in captivity. Many Sri Lankan sites have names associated with the Ramayana such as Seethaeliya, Ram Bodha (Ramboda), Ussangoda and Roomassala.
Prominent News paper of Srilanka Daily times carried following news:
According to the Ramayana, Ravana abducted Sita to Sri Lanka in a flying machine called Pushpaka Vimanam by the Hindus and Dandu Monara Yanthraya by the Sinhalese Buddhists.Detailed documents prepared by the Sri Lankan Tourism Ministry said the Pushpaka Vimanam could have landed at Weragantota, about 10 km from Mahiyangana.
Sita was then taken to Goorulupota, now known as Sitakotuwa, where Ravana’s wife Mandodari lived. Seetakotuwa is about 10 km from Mahiyangana on the road to Kandy. Sita was housed in a cave at Sita Eliya on a highway that links Colombo with Nuwara Eliya, another exotic hill station.A temple dedicated to her exists there. According to the document, Sita is believed to have taken bath in the mountain stream flowing beside the temple. These are not the only sites in Sri Lanka associated with the Ramayana, the Tourism Ministry document said.
In Matale district, is Yudhaganapitiya, where the Rama-Ravana battle took place. According to a Sinhalese legend, Dunuwila is the place from where Rama shot the Bramshira arrow (Brahmastra) that killed Ravana. Ravana was making battle plans in a place called Lakgala when the killer arrow struck him. Since Ravana was a Brahmin, it was considered a sin to kill him, even in battle. To wash off the sin, Rama prayed at the Munneswaram temple in Chilaw.
Rumassala and Ramboda, also in the tea-growing central highlands, are associated with Hanuman. Believers say that Hanuman dropped the Dronagiri mountain, which he brought from the Himalayas, at Rumassala. At Ramboda, known for its massive waterfalls, a temple for Hanuman has now sprung up.
The documents state that at the Buddha Vihara at Kelani, there is a representation of Rama handing over the “captured” Sri Lanka to Ravana’s brother Vibheeshana, who sided with him in his conflict with Ravana.
