The truth is that both the Atlanteans and the pre-Columbian civilizations of South America were, in fact, from India. But they were not "driven out of India for mismanagement." They left on their own, because they were tired of Vedic high-pressure salesmen trying to badger them into buying a "Vastu" house at 3-4 times market value and trying to sell them yagyas that didn't do a damned thing but make the priests rich. So they moved to where none of these money- grubbing assholes lived, and created their own form of architecture to thumb their noses at India and everything about it. :-) More seriously, temple ruins recently found and carbon-dated in South America now predate all but a handful of the oldest structures ever found in India. Kinda makes Maharishi's claims about India being the "home of all knowledge" sound like nationalistic religious hokum, eh?
