"'Telugu binds us all" #Telugu

The Eastern Gangas were great temple builders, the Mukhalingeswara Swamy Temple at #Mukhalingam and the Nrusinghanath Temple at #Simhachalam, #AndhraPradesh, stand as majestic examples of their artistry and devotion.🛕

మనకు చక్కని తెలుగు పదాలు ఉన్నాయి. కానీ ఎందుకో వాటిని వాడటానికీ, ప్రోత్సహించటానికీ ఎవరూ పెద్దగా ఆసక్తి చూపరు. తెలుగు తెలివిపరులు ఏమో ఎప్పుడూ నిద్రపోతూనే ఉంటారు. ప్రపంచంలో ఒకే ఒక జాతి ఉంది ~ నాకు #తెలుగు రాదు అని గర్వంగా చెప్పుకునే #జాతి అది మన తెలుగు జాతి.

The archaeological site of Gottiprolu, situated on the right bank of a distributary of the Swarnamukhi River in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, was excavated during 2018–20. Covering about 40 acres, the fortified mound known as ‘Kōṭa Dibba’ revealed an extensive Early Historic fortified settlement featuring brick-built structures of elliptical and rectangular shapes. #AndhraPradesh #ASI #HeritageSites #ArchaeologicalSurveyOfIndia #CultureUnitesAll (1/2)

In #AndhraPradesh's SPS Nellore district, near the banks of the Swarnamukhi river, lies #Gottiprolu, an ancient maritime trade center that flourished nearly 2000 years ago. It spans over 40 acres, with massive brick-built enclosure walls over 75m long, 3.4m wide, & 2m high. 🧵1/3

The #Bhattiprolu script later influenced the Kadamba script, which in turn gave rise to the Telugu-Kannada script. 🧵2/2

After 2 weeks of intensive learning, the Sri Lankan Telugu descendant students have successfully developed the ability to read, write, and converse in Telugu with confidence. Beyond language acquisition, they have also embraced and mastered traditional Telugu cultural arts.

URGENT measures necessary to create a ON SITE MUSEUM at Hanumanthunipadu, to Protect and safeguard all the archaeological findings at Hanumanthunipadu Pre Historic Archaeological Site, in Markapuram District, Andhra Pradesh. The scientific testing was conducted at a highly prestigious institution in India, and the results completely stunned the global archaeological community. 1. Where the Testing Took Place : The sediment samples bound tightly to the excavated stone tools were sent to the Luminescence Laboratory at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. PRL is a premier national research institute for space and allied sciences. Its specialized dating laboratory measures the last time the mineral grains (like quartz or feldspar) surrounding the stone tools were exposed to sunlight before being deeply buried in the earth. 2. Why the Scientists Were Stunned : When the researchers at the PRL lab calculated the final data and realized the tools were 2,50,000 years old, it sent shockwaves through the scientific community. Scientists were surprised because of The Geographical Gap (The Africa vs. India Debate). Until this result was printed, mainstream global archaeology firmly believed that Middle Paleolithic technology (characterized by the smaller, sharper points and prepared Levallois cores found at the site) was invented exclusively in Africa and brought to India by migrating modern humans (Homo sapiens) around 125,000 years ago. When the laboratory at Ahmedabad proved the tools were nearly 250,000 years old, it meant: The tools were twice as old as anyone expected. They were crafted roughly 120,000 years before modern humans even left Africa for India. An ancient, native, "archaic" hominin species living right there in the Paleru River Basin of Andhra Pradesh was intelligent enough to independently invent this advanced technology all on their own. The surprise completely shifted the spotlight of human evolutionary history away from the traditional African migration routes and placed Andhra Pradesh at the center of independent global human innovation. The prehistoric site at Hanumanthunipadu is highly valued by archaeologists because its deep geological stratigraphy acts like a time capsule. The tools found here do not just belong to a single period; they span hundreds of thousands of years, showcasing a massive technological transition from heavy, large implements to highly complex, miniature tools. The hominins (early humans) at Hanumanthunipadu primarily relied on Cuddapah quartzite (varying from coarse-grained brown varieties for older tools to fine-grained varieties for later ones). For very late, tiny tools, they utilized materials like quartz and lydonite. The various tool types discovered across the site's distinct historical layers are categorized below. 1. Lower Paleolithic: Late Acheulean Layers (>250,000 Years Old) These represent the oldest tool traditions found at the base of the excavations. They were crafted using a soft hammer technique (such as using bone or wood instead of another hard stone to chip the edges), resulting in thinner, sharper, and more symmetrical heavy-duty tools. Finely Worked Hand-Axes: Teardrop and almond-shaped bifacial tools (flaked on both sides). These were remarkably thin and well-finished compared to earlier, cruder Acheulean variants. Cleavers: Heavy tools with a broad, flat, axe-like cutting edge at the front, predominantly used for hacking wood or heavy butchery. Flake Tools & Scrapers: Large stone flakes struck off from a central core and minimally retouched to create thick, durable edges for rugged scraping tasks. 2. Early Middle Paleolithic Layer (The Famous ~2,50,000-Year-Old Horizon) This layer represents the major technological breakthrough that shocked scientists. It marks the shift where heavy hand-axes shrank, and the complex Levallois method (prepared core technology) took over. Levallois Cores and Flakes: "Cores" are the parent rocks that were meticulously shaped first, so that a single, calculated final strike would release a pre-determined, razor-sharp "flake." Diminutive Bifaces (Miniature Hand-Axes): These are tiny, highly refined, pocket-sized hand-axes. They showcase a transitional evolution, proving the toolmakers were adapting their traditional designs into smaller, lighter versions. Point Tools: Triangular flakes with intentional, sharply tapered tips. These are monumental finds because they were designed to be attached (hafted) to wooden handles or shafts to form early projectile weapons, like hunting spears. Winged Flakes: Distinctive flakes with wide, wing-like side projections, created during highly specialized core shaping. Specialized Scrapers: Flakes heavily retouched on the borders to process animal hides and shape wood or bone. 3. Late Paleolithic Layers (~50,000 to 10,000 Years Old) Found embedded near ancient inland sand dunes, these tools demonstrate a transition into specialized blade industries. Blade Cores: Elongated stone cores designed specifically to strike off long, parallel-sided, narrow stone strips (blades). Finished Blades: Strips of stone that were twice as long as they were wide, offering incredibly long, continuous cutting edges. 4. Mesolithic Layers: Microliths (<10,000 Years Old) Discovered on the top surfaces of stabilized sand dunes, these reflect the final prehistoric phase of hunting and gathering before agriculture. Micro-blade Cores: Tiny stone cores prepared using highly delicate pressure flaking and bipolar techniques (pounding from both top and bottom). Micro-blades: Extremely miniature, razor-like stone fragments. Geometric Tools: Tiny stone flakes shaped into precise triangles, crescents (lunates), and trapezes. These tiny pieces were glued into slots on wooden or bone handles to make multi-toothed sickles, arrows, and harpoons

Kalidas (1931), directed by H. M. Reddy, is considered the first talkie of South India & #Telugu cinema. Though primarily featuring Telugu dialogues, it also included Tamil songs & some Hindi lines. Sadly, this landmark film of Indian cinema is a lost film. 🎞️
