Thanks for the bit, b_m

Has he shown any evidences that suggest characters "Abraham/Ibrahim" existed in the "Hebrew literature or epics" were "older" than that of the character "BrahmA" existed in the Sanskrit literature of Hindus

From the way it proceeded, Dubois presented that piece as somewhat conclusive and my assumption is that he was of the mind that the Torah was older than the Vedas. I was surprised when I read it.

I did not see any character comparison. You are welcome.

The Bhagavata Purana claims that this Manu (of the flood) was actually a Dravidian (South Indian) king of the name Satyavrata, who was adviced and guided by the Matsya incarnation of Vishnu to build a boat and transport himself and the Seven Sages to the northen mountains.

The Bhagavata Purana story regarding Manu and the flood is detailed in Canto 8. The particular reference to Manu as a Dravidian king is in 8.24.13 I was getting ready to bring in linguistic evidence to show that the word Manu is a Dravidian /Tamil word. Also, that in his book there may have been insertions later because of certain contradictions which were also adverted to by one of our hubbers in the now-removed Manu Smirithi thread. It awaits completion.

I believe that Manu was from South. Thanks to Ramraghav for his illuminating post.

The Arabs believed that Nabi Adam descended in Tamil Nadu. Please see my post under thread Kumari Kandam. It may have some relevance.

From an account given by naavalar aRinjar abduR Rahim, in his introduction to Muslim Poets, (Universal Publications), the Tamil Land was the first place the first man (Adam according to MiddleEastern tradition) stepped his foot on when he descended from heaven .................................................. ...etc.................etc.....................and also have been found in Arabic (see Swami Njanaprakasam's works) , it is not suprising to find words common to Arabic and Northern because all those words came from the common source Tamil.
