Anyone heard about this island called 'Kumari Kandam' where the first and second Tamil Sangams were established?

  Lemuria is an ancient land predating any civilization we currently know. There is some disagreement about where it was located, what the inhabitants looked like, etc., but most seem to put it as a continent in the Pacific ocean. The name is actually "Mu", someone named an ancient land that sunk near India "Lemuria" and it seems to have stuck in reference to the ancient land that pre-dates Atlantis.

  Pandiyan Kings patronised Tamil language in a great way.They created Sangams to develop the language.The "Mudhal Sangam" was established in Southern Madurai which was situated in the land Kumari by the river called "Kanni".Iraiyanaar was the first scholar to preside over the Mudhal Sangam.Iraiyanaar,then popularly came to be known as "Thiripuram Eriththa Virisadaik Kadavul".
  
  Later, the capital was shifted to "Kabaadapuram" due to sudden and violent change in nature.This place was on the banks of river "Kumari" which is situated to south of Kanyakumari.The second Tamil Sangam or "Idai Sangam" is said to have been held in Kabaadapuram.Lord Muruga, who presided over this Idai Sangam hence came to be known as "Kundram Erintha Kumaravel".The famous epic "Tholkappiyam" was written during this period.
  
  The Pandiyan Kings then shifted their capital to present Madurai, after a debacle.The third Tamil Sangam or "Kadai Sangam" was held here.The great Literary Compositions like "Ettuththogai" and "Paththu Paattu" belong to this period.Lord Shiva performed his "Thiruvilayaadals" with Tharumi and Nakkeerar during this "Kadai Sangam" period. Many works belonging to "Pathinen Kizh Kanakku" were composed during this period.Tamil literature reached its glory during this period.This period is an epoch in the history of Madurai.

  did the Kanni theevu really exist?...thought it was an imaginary thing on "Dina Thanthi"(a newspaper in South India)...there is even a map connecting a land from Madagascar,South India,Ceylon and Australia. that explains a lot about tamil in Malaysia/Singapore and explains
  why Polynesian/Hawaiian/American Red Indians all look like us.
  there are theories that propound the fact that the Indian race described in Mahabharata might be the Atlanteans(or maybe the Mu's)..our ancient texts say that people in treta yug were 9 feet tall..same goes for the Mu's...weird...things are beginning to make sense...the Egyptian and Sumerian Civilizations infact came from us...and then they invaded us back...IRONIC!!!
  the "pralaya" could either be the asteroid that hit the ocean at 90000 miles an hour or tectonic shifts...around 64 million people supposedly died in this sinking.
  u can check out the map of Lemuria at http://www.thule.org/lemuria.html.
  more about this tomorrow.
