Division of globe in ancient Indian literature.

King Priyavratha had seven sons each with names synonymous with Agni or fireGod.The purana considers the world as 7 dweepa or islands belonging to these 7 Agni or fire,who were brothers.
Jambudweepa Agneendran
Plakshadweepa Idmadwajan

According to Blavatsky the Plaksha ,kusa ,salmali and Krouncha had been under the sea for a long time and surfaced again and Sakam which is at present submerged is the legendary lost Atlantis.A part of sakadweep called the swethadweepa or white island(Shet land)is the present Greenland and parts of Siberia.Bhavishyapurana says that swethadweepa lies beyond the salty sea and Magha Brahmins of this land had once built a sun temple for Sambha,the son o f Krishna and Jambavathy .(Varahamihira was adescendent of Magha Brahmins).Jambavathy,the daughter of Jambavan,the oldest root race of inhabitants of the world(partly human and partly Riksha-the bear-ape man)was asouth Indian wife of Krishna and belonged to the oldest Adivasi of the continent.Thus ,the relation of Atlantean race and Indian race is mentioned in scriptures.

Maya is a generic name for the people of sakadweepa.or Atlantis.In other words ,Maya,the yavanasilpi or architect of olden times was also a Magha Brahmin and who knew solar and lunar calendars and vaasthuvidya.He was the one who built Indraprastha during Yudhishtira’s time and another of his race with the same generic name was the father of Mandodari .(Ravana’s wife).He was an original inhabitant of sakadweepa(Atlantis)and he had come to live in present Rajasthan during Ravana’s time.The word Asura and Azorus ,Atlantis and Atlantic ocean and Athalam of the scriptures are from the same root .According to Sounakahora ,Maya was a astronomer of excellance and he taught astronomy to the great Rajarshi Viswamithra.The original abode of Maya according to Indian scriptures is Romakapura in Athalam.(The Romakapura spoken by the Mahg ha Brahmin Varahamihira ,is this Romakapuram of Atlantis and not Rome.)Romakasidhantha of Maya,the yavanaguru came from Atlantis and not Rome as the historians of Astronomy think.The knowledge came to India in very very ancient times .When Viswamithra accepted the southern stars as polestar there was agreat debate between his disciples and disciples of Vasishta who followed the northern star clusters.
Jambudweepa had 9 divisions.Between the two poles run the Meru and around it the aretic region Ilavritha is seen.Around Meru are the Bharatha,Hiranmaya,Ramyaka on one side and Kethumala and bhadraswam on the other side of the Globe.The orthographic map(Fig 1) shows this division clearly The tropical landmasses above equator ,speading almost 270 degrees on the globe’s surface around equator represent Jambudweepa.Therefore,Indians,Lankans,peoples of Atlantis,Arabians,Babylonians and Nazreans belong to the race of Agneedran ,the firstborn son of King Priyamvada,In Puranas Jambudweepa is compared to a lotus flower.(fig 2)When Atlantis sank,parts of Jambudweepa also sank,since they were continuous landmasses in the tropical belt.It also includes parts of central and south America,When these landmasses sank people of Plaksha and Jambudweepa lost all communications between them .People who had already migrated to other parts of the world continued the culture there.(As mentioned in Ramayana ,when Kaikasi ,daughter of Malyavan is married to sage Visravas in Nepal and Ravana born to them)Readers digest publications The last mysteries of the world “Voyage to Atlantis”gives the evidence of this migration of culture.The people of central and south America ,people of Crete ,of Timbukthu,South India and Lanka and probably the people who built stone henges in England are descendents of the same race.The interchange of the Azorez(Asura)race and Indian race started even before Atlantis was lost and continued even after that.The reason why Ravana was married to Maya’s daughter(who had been earlier inhabitants in Rajastan)was precisely the fact that Maya and Kaikasi belonged to the same race.Both were Azores people.In central America there is still a mountain called Maya and an old culture called Mayan culture was there.The Mayan people of central America were great builders,architects,astronomers,and sun worshippers just as the Puranas of India describe them.If these facts considered just as coincidence and left out,our reconstruction of history would be incomplete.
In Skandahora.the globe is divided to 4 halves,each about 90 0.They are Bhogavathy,Samyamani.Sidhavathy,and Romavathy.The globe is further divided to a sixpointe dstar (shanmukha or 6 faced one)each arm with 60 0.(fig 3) If these divisions are computed on to the globe given by Varahamihira in Panchasidhanthika we get the following.(fig 4)which is a tortoiseshape ..The route of Arjuna when he did his digvijaya all over the world as given by Mahabharatha of Vyasa is the same as we get in this figure.Vyasa was a person belonging to the kaivarthaka or seafaring parathava of Tamil nad.
Kimpurushavarsha is the Rusha or modern Russuia.Ramyakavarsha is present China.According to Gargabhagavatha Hari once took birth in Swethadweepa as its king and it was then called Harivarsha.
Was this division known to Rgveda?Rgveda speaks of the division of Globe by the Ribhus.Rishi vamadeva says we don’t know the exact date on which this first division happened.(Ch 8.sooktha 51.Mandalam 1.Rgveda).The first Ribhu divided the globe into 2 parts of 180 each.Vibhu ,the second Ribhu divided it into 3 parts of 120 each.Vaajan ,the last Ribhu divided it into 4 parts each with 90 0(ch 7 sooktha 33) Rishi prajapathi speaks of 6 horses of sun ,5 in succession .These are 6 seasons and the 5 years of panchavarsheeyayuga.She speaks thus:-“There are thus three areas above or on the back and of these only one is visible and other 2 invisible.Below there is a beautiful core with three yoni ,three breasts,and three heads of dharma.In each of these three parts the sun stays for 4 months.The sun makes love with one devi for 4 months.Then leaves her for 8 months to stay with the next two devis.He repeats the cycle every 12 months.These areas are called the varsha because the sun gives varsha or rain to each of these successive devi areas while he stays with her.Varsha is the love of sun for the devi.The people in the 3 varsha are the devas.The devis are Ila,Saraswathy and Bharathy”This passage clearly shows that the rishi knew the seasons of India and its effects in 3 different parts(ie the monsoons were known)And all men were called deva.Asuras were people of the western hemisphere or people of Azorez/Atlantis.All of them were sons of Vishnu .In his three consorts mentioned above as rivers.Ila I ais Nila or Nappinnai of South Indians.
When globe is divided to 12 parts of zodiac (on a different scale)only 9 are visible landmasses in equatorial plane.2 are on other side of globe and hence invisible to Indians.The rest is Aleutian islands from where we see sunrise.The 2 invisible and the Aleutian sea(3 divisions)were called Thribhonam by ancient Indian astronomers.
Thri=3
Bham=zodiacal sign or raasi
Oonam=minus
That is the word means minus 3 signs (or minus 90 degree) The first landmass visible on east of Bharatha was therefore called Ribhonam which was pronounced as Rippon or Ribbon in Japan as the name of their land in early times.The meaning is the first landmass in east of Bharatha where the sunrays touch after traversing the 3 divisions of the globe invisible to the east (or eastern landmasses).The land of the rising sun.
From this point landmasses divided into 3 divisions comprising 90 degree each.The northeast part represent the Arctic area is Ilavritham .Middle Bharathy,lowest southwest Saraswathy.When sun rises in Lanka or Ujjain sun sets in Kethumala and Sidhapuram.At kuru and Romakapura it is midnight while Bhadraswa and yamakoti it is noon ,says Varahamihira.
Kethumala is the present Guatemala and Chethumal in gulf of Mexico.Sidhapuram is Theothihuacanand Tula in Mexico.Kuru includes part of Sahara and west boundary of republic of Mali.Romakapuram locate din Azorus islands in Atlantic ocean ,the place of old Atlantis.(Plato had mentioned Atlantis in Greece).For Indian mythology this great landmass belong to Azura.And was submerged by Vishnu(God).They have faithfully recorded the history and science of the survivors in scriptures.
Bhadraswam and yamakoti along with ar e along the Aleutian bay in pacific ,sakalin and kuril islands including.From this it is evident that ancient Romakapura of astronomers is not the modern Rome.The social,cultural links between the oldest inhabitants of Romakapuram and Kuru (which surprisingly includes Sahara desert and Mali republic).and the evidence of caves in Sahara desert where humans lived millions of years ago and the Dogon tribes of MALI (Thumbukthu)knowing the Sirius star and its binary (which is known to samavedin Dalbian rishi of India also)and some of the aspects of Romakasidhantha the links are more wide and ancient than suspected by the European enthusiasts like Max Muller.It goes to roots of world history .Not to Indian history alone.
