Floorless, shurely?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Your claim that Varanasi is not older than 4000 years does mean anything.
After few thousand years buildings start crumbling.
Those who make that study were clever enough to find temples dating back 4000 years.
Look at the colosseum which is about 2000 years.
Half is already crumbled down and the rest stand up thanks to continuous restoration otherwise even that would have gone by now.
No wonder that the experts find difficult to go behind the limit of 4000 years.

Oh... I think if there was something to find they should have found it by now... I mean, just look at what they found a few years ago:

Do I believe in .. what? WTF

No I don't believe in gods .. don't really know WTF that even means. Nor do I care. And, by the way, fuck you for asking. Please keep your fucking nonsense to yourself.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Not necessary Poc.
Different culture live in a different way and use different things.
Something could be invented and used in one place and not in other places.
In the past there was no much communication or internet so before some people living east would know what happen in the west or the opposite it would takes ages and ages.
If in one place people build houses or any form of construction with mud and straws these constructions would melt down well before constructions in other places build with some sort of brick would.
Your facts are all relative to times and places therefore do not represent the ultimate truth. Wink Shades

I try for the last 10 minutes to think what word is used to describe people who think in a malicious way about other people but i can't get up with the correct word.
Any suggestion? Thinking

In the near future i am sure that new technologies will be able to go behind that limit and find out the real age of Varanasi.

"In the near future, I'm sure we'll discover alien spaceships beneath the pyramids and confirm their alien origin."

"In the near future, I'm sure that the the advanced GPS imaging technology would pin-point the location of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster."

"In the near future, I'm certain that advancement in archeology would find the remains of Noah's arc and prove the biblical flood story."

All these statements and yours have something in common - they are forms of wishful thinking that don't justify your beliefs. All the evidence we already have indicates that we have uncovered the real age of Varanasi.

To practice yoga meditation you sit in the lotus posture which is the way Shiva is represented. - Not necessarily
To practice meditation you breath in and out by focusing on the mantra which is part of the sanskrit alphabet. - Wrong
The pratik with the svastika which is the symbol of spiritual victory is wear by those who practice yoga. - Wrong
So all goes hand in hand and all is connected whether you agree or not.

"Having a connection" - a tenuous one at that - doesn't mean they go hand in hand or that they originated at the same time.

When i say that Shiva was there 7000 years ago you asked me for evidence.
Now you make a statement in which you say that Shiva never existed.
Can you be consistent with your arguments and give me the evidence that Shiva never existed? Cool Shades

Once I see some evidence coming from you, sure.
You made the claim first and I asked for evidence first, so you'll have to give it first. After you've done so and I've examined it, I'll provide my evidence.
