A Bit of Culture - Kum Kum: Proof of the Ancient Global Vedic Presence

Kum Kum: Proof of the Ancient Global Vedic Presence

Dear Friends,

I have recently learnt about another fascinating link between India, Egypt, China and the Ancient Americans. It is Kum Kum or Vermilion powder.

Archeologists are currently puzzled because nearly every ancient tomb they uncover has Kum Kum powder drenched all over the interiors of these sites. Whether its in China, Peru, Mexico or Egypt the use of vermillion/Kum Kum is used.

The question asked is," What significance did the red Vermillion powder have to the ancient cultures around the world?" Of course the western scholars have alot of speculation to offer, but to my knowledge not once have any of these so-called experts publicly considered the fact that nearly a billion people are still using Vermillion powder on a daily basis.

Just Perhaps these billion people might have some information as to the significance of Kum Kum Powder in the current era and by tracing its use we may come to the obvious conclusion that India's Modern Hindu Civilization is the only civilization that has maintained an unbroken link with the ancient world. This fact, once accepted, will allow the world's academia to begin to come up with accurate theories that actually make sense and can be easily verified by the ongoing practical and applicable realities of everyday life. In other words, an ancient potters wheel has the same use as a modern one, and it is easy to deduce its applicable usefulness even thousands of years later. The same method can be applied to Kum Kum. If the archeoligists really want to know why the ancient Chinese, Egyptians and Americans used vermillion powder they need to ask the Modern Hindus of India. Its only logical to learn from the people who have used it for thousands of years and are still using it. I am truly amazed at at the value given to the many ignorant theories about India that have been created without any input of those living the culture. Prejudiced theories can surely have no more value than the wholistic theories that take into account the traditional versions of a culture along with modern scientific research techniques. Only when these two are united can we ever cross over the tyrrany of politicized academia.

SO I HAVE ANOTHER CHALLENGE TO ALL THE ANTI-VEDICS. WHY WERE THE ANCIENT INCANS, MEXICANS, CHINESE, EGYPTIANS AND INDIANS USING KUM KUM?
MY ANSWER IS OBVIOUS. THEY WERE ALL BRANCHES OF THE ANCIENT GLOBAL VEDIC FAMILY AND THEY USED KUM KUM FOR THE SAME REASONS MODERN HINDUS USE KUM KUM.
