These stories coming down to us from hoary antiquity speak of lost cities, vanished peoples, extinct creatures, strange ruins, weird prophecies, eerie happenings, bizarre visitations, mysterious deaths, unexplained sicknesses and unspeakable horrors among other things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">This book covers many such mysteries from the whereabouts of Ravana\u2019s kingdom, the legendary Naga race and a missing race of dwarfs to man-eating ogres, cannibalistic women, feral children living in the wild, water sprites, female spectres, demons scared of iron, human sacrifices, lost gold mines, hidden redoubts, buried treasures and mysterious phenomena to name just a few.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">All this and more has been dealt with by the author who takes his readers on a most fascinating journey not only to understand these inexplicable accounts and the context in which they emerged, but also to unravel their mysterious origins wherever possible. This he has done by subjecting them to careful scrutiny through rigorous research whereby he has succeeded in demystifying many of these. Others however continue to remain a mystery as they have been for ages past though here too the reader will find possible answers and explanations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Our Edenic Island holds more mysteries than one supposes even in one\u2019s wildest dreams. To read this book is to embark on a journey of a hundred delights only to discover a country you never knew existed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color:
