Oh, very good. The perfect after-dinner entertainment.
"Dr. Shambhu Shastry showed that the chatuyuga and manavantara
schemes of Hindu chronology are directly from natural astronomical
cycles and based on this, he stated, that the human race is about
five million years old. He concluded that this helped demythologize
the Mahabharata and Ramayana and placed them in the last descending
Chaturyuga segment over a time span of not more than 6000 years."
*snort*
Shiv, is this Shambhu Shastry a relative? :-)
