Thinking technically..

Almost 1,750,000 years ago a bridge (Rama's Bridge) was built between India (Rameshwaram) and Lanka (know as Sri Lanka in modern age). Forget the epic "Ramayana" and just think about of those people who were the architect of this bridge who can make a bridge, chain of shoals, of 18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka।

It can be easily concluded that how strong the architecture of that age was. In this modern technology age where we have several modern equipments available we cannot even think of making such type of bridges.

Now it's a question worth million dollar that where did such a intense thinking about architecture design gone? I think that, technology should improve as the time passes and we should be able to make better architectures. Now if we see that Rama's bridge was made 1,750,000 years ago, so after 1,750,000 we should be able to at least make a bridge on say Pacific Ocean. But that is not the case.

Also if we consider this epic (Ramayana) true (on the grounds of Rama's Bridge) then in Ramayana, there was a aerial car (known as Pushpak Viman) that travels with the speed of mind and it was able to grow large and small at a wish. Now in this modern age we are able to make aerial car but still it cannot fly with the speed of mind, so we are lacking in technology compared to that age's technology.

At this point my only question is "where has all that technological thinking gone?"

I didn't know that you believe that Ram/Rama Setu/Sethu or Adams bridge is a man made creation that too 1750000 years ago.

1) There is no evidence that Ramayana happened that long ago. Trained historians put Ramayana around 3000 BC (give or take few hundred years). Some lunatics and self acclaimed historians also do not dare go beyond 10000 BC. I have no idea from where this 1750000 thing originated.

2) There were no homo sapiens before 200,000 years.
