The first vascular plants lived during the Devonian Period, that is 405
to 345 million years ago. Based on plant fossils, six ancient landscapes
of the world existed during various geological periods going as far back
as 405 million year ago. These maps reveals that the only portion of the
world that has been in continuous existence as land is southern India,
while all the other countries of the world have been submerged in the
ocean either in part or fully during some period or other since 405 million
years. This has permitted the development of a culture of unusual antiquity
and stability.
Vast tracts of land existed around Shri Lanka. South Indian
manuscripts called this "Kumari Nadu". These lands are now identified
as Lemuria. They extended far beyond the present day Kanyakumari the southern
most tip of India.
