Do stones float in water

Do stones float in water?

Trust India to stir up some controversy! Modern science tells us that stones cannot float in water :-p For the island of Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu, stones, it seems, do float in water. Difficult to believe-but it’s a reality.
Here’s where the mythological twist comes in- According to the Hindu mythological epic Ramayana, (supposedly took place over 17 million years ago!) Lord Rama and his army of monkeys used stones to build a bridge across the Palk Strait to link Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka, According to Hindu legend, the bridge was built to transport Rama, hero of the Ramayana, to the island to rescue his wife from the demon king Ravanna.

Space images taken by NASA reveal the bridge´s unique curvature. Composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge´s age is also almost equivalent
