People need to realize that when tv crews come and film things they like to say that this is the oldest this, or the largest that. I'm sure Dwarka is a wonderful site, but there is no need to start a beef on this page.

@legitfreek Sri Krishna According the Vedas he incarnated 5000 years ago In India for destroying the demonic influences on earth and fight the epic battle of Kuruksetra!....NOT OLDER MY FRIEND!

Correction.Dwarka is the worlds oldest submerged city. Its not even a town. Its bigger than that.Lack of funding and bad waters prohibits extensive diving in the arabian sea. On another note the tsunami uncovered 4 temples half a mile away from the coast of Chennai that are believed to be about 11000 years old and are a part of a 7 temple complex with the remaining 3 that are still functional on land.Read Graham Hancock 'Underworld' for his extensive research on ancient submerged Dwarka.

In India we pray in 1500 yr old temples near where I live - its considered normal not an architectural find. Dwarka has submerged 6-7 times and has always been reconstructed. The first city was linked to the Harrapan civilization - some consider it to be older than 8000 yrs.
-
Wrong Im afraid - Dwarka is only about 1500 years old. Whats your evidence?
