INDIAN AND EGYPTIAN RACES

Ramses II was a renowned Pharaoh in history, lived during 1279 - 1212 BC. In an elaborate study of his mummy later revealed many interesting facts. During his time he is known to have link with the southern parts of India. With the available evidence it can be assumed that this great Pharaoh had visited Kerala at least once.  During a long period of time they had bought spices especially pepper from this region (today's Kerala)

There are many similarities between Hindu gods and Egyptian gods, prayers, heaven and hell, life after death, cycle of rebirth etc.

When we go back to the history of the world, it can be noted that the Indus Valley Civilization was flourished during 3,000 BCE. During the similar era the Pharaonic civilization was also prospered in Egypt.

If we conduct extensive studies we may find notable population in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh  that may substantiate the genetic races of Egyptian in India. There are also Egyptians and Arabs having similar face look of generally South Indians in those countries too. May be we all are sown in to the earth from the same basket.
