      Scientific proof for Tolkaapiyam timeline

the scientific proof for Tamils antiquity !

By  MAHADEVAN.

Tamizh Nadu is in thai and maasi[january and february];which means there had been a shift in the positions of star constellations from the time of this record in the first Tamizh grammar book (and passed on from number of generations of masters and students upto the age of writing down of Tholkappiyam nool) to the present day - the aries(aadu iyal-mesha with aswini as first monthstar) constellation had moved from Tamizh spring day -january to april now;
That is:

Spring starts always at January 14 in Tamlzh Naadu;
The source of Tholkaappiyam says Aries(Mesha) constellation was usually seen at the start of Spring--Jan 14;
Presently Aries is seen as the evening star by April 21;

This means there hadbeen a shift of 3 months which is equivalent according to Dr.Frawley's calculations to about, 8,500 years from the present AROUND 6,500 B.C.E. derived as follows:

if 3.88 months shift=>10,500 years:so, 3 months shift=8076 years;or
if 3.00 months shift=>8500 years:so, 3 months shift=8500 years; or
if 1.33 months shift=>5139 years:so, 3 months shift=11563.2 years; or
if 1.1 months shift=>4500 years:so, 3 months shift=12272.73 years; or
if 0.88 months shift=>4350 years:so, 3 months shift=14500 years;

Roughly the date of the 1st Tamizh grammar work (or perhaps copied down second or later Grammar work or Tholkaappiyam itself) was between 8076 years and 14500 years from present;which goes from 6076 B.C.E. to 12500 B.C.E.
to locate the exact date we can take the following methods

Arithmetic mean=8,500/3 *3=8,500=6,500 B.C.E.,
Geometric mean={8100+8500+11563.2+12272.73+14500}/5=54935/5=10,987 years for 3 months shift =8,987 B.C.E.
Median=[midpoint of 2 extreme entries]=from above,{ 14,500+8,100}/2=11,300 for 3 months shift=9,300 B.C.E.
Graphical mode=8,500 years=6,500 B.C.E.,
{this is the way they usually do for calculating proximity dates in any scientific methods }
Therefore we can conclude that :
"a Grammar work in Tamizh was written atleast around 6,500 B.C.E."

Thanks to our member Mahadevan for these details. This is in line with the estimates given by Prof Ka Su Pillai AND other Tamil scholars. Europeans have a problem because they do not want the Bible Timeline speculated by them to be in jeopardy. Northerners would object because they fear that their "culture" will lose out to Tamils.       

Thanks to mayyam.
