In Ramayana, a mythological Indian epic, tales are told of bridges constructed by the army of Sri Rama, a mythological king of Ayodhya, from India to the island of Sri Lanka, a feat thought to have been impossible in that time period. However, space imt es taken by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration reveal an ancient bridge, called Adam s Bridge, in the Palk Strait with a unique curvature and composition that indicate that it is man-made.
