Many Hindus want to believe stuff like this. It´s sheer speculation, of course. Probably not true. It´s highly unlikely, to say the least, that the authors of the Ramayana had knowledge of the Americas. Their supposed knowledge of Central Europe or the Arctic could have come from Greek sources, transmitted through the Persians or the Macedonians/Greeks.

And while the Vanaras are fascinating, please show me the evidence of such an ancient race...
