In the introduction, it is written that the work was done 10,000 years ago which can not be true! NicolasDelerue 20:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- According to Vastu 2 Vaastu Consulting and Audarya Fellowship, Brahmarishi Mayan is supposed to have lived over 10,000 years ago in a now-submerged land south of India and then migrated to southern India. He is supposed to have written many mathematical and physical texts at the level of modern science (nuclear physics, etc.) which were not understood by past scholars so they excluded them from the Vedas. V. Ganapati Sthapati claims to have recovered those texts. Vedic astrology includes the "Ancient Surya Sidhata" by Maya. I have doubts that this is the modern Surya Siddhanta, so I am removing that entire paragraph. Furthermore, no specific source was provided, just the government of Tamil Nadu, whose capital, Chennai, is where Sthapati is headquartered. If Mayan is supposed to have written at the level of modern science, how did he manage to write a treatise that had to be revised at least twice and is still inaccurate? — Joe Kress 03:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
