Is the Mahavamsa a tissue of Myths?

As a factual historical entity, the Mahawamsa has no equal in the history of mankind

The Mahavamsa is not tissue of Myths because most of the vital links in the contents are reinforced by strong archiological evidence. None the less its in sync with the international historical records around the region. Any one who have been to Sri Lanka and studied the history and culture knows that this does not and is not the only historical record available in Sri Lanka. And the Mahavamsa is not the reason for the present conflicts.

Absolutely right
Numerous academic publications have verified the authenticity of the Mahawamsa
It is a true historical record of the events that took place in Sri Lanka , the homeland of the sinhalese people

Ayoh!***frothing at the mouth****** the demila must be wiped out and driven into the sea..hahahahahhaha

Where is my Ola leaf- ahhh there it is. Let me finish wiping my backside - ok oooh this brown stuff makes good writin material....lets see..."once upon a time there was a Lion and he had the hots for slutty Aryan princess....etc etc..

It is worse than Wikipedia- it is the only historical publication which gets weekly and daily updates.

As so called Proffessor Samuel stated- has no equal.

The authenticity of the Mahwamsa as a historical chronicle is beyond doubt
The veracity of the statements in it have been proved by munerous publications
One would advise those who doubt its veracity to read up on this subject before commenting in a totally ignorant fashion

Mahawamsa part deux coming to a store near u.

scatered like the your brain

Our Sinhalese people although recognize as Buddhist, but their system still base on Believe, which Buddhism totally reject. But our Buddist monks too unable to explain what is neccessary for Mankind & what its nature?
Mahavansa is a older text definitely it is. If Vijaya from present Bangladesh he should be Mongolian origin, but how our color so changed, it is my question?

"These myths have asserted a ‘history’ of violence between Sinhala and Tamil and stress the Buddhist hegemony. The military units for example, who are engaged in conflict with the Tamil guerrillas, carry names resonant with the imagery of mythic history
These distorted texts are clearly providing a nationalistic advantage in contemporary times.

Using Sinhalese history, anti imperialism and the Buddhist tradition of the Mahavamsa, western ideas about development, a successful nationalist Sinhalese movement gathered potency and has been a powerful force in creating the Tamil nationalist movement as a response."

Silva and Bartholomeusz,(1998) Buddhist Fundamentalism And Minority Identities In Sri Lanka, New York Press

Tamils are the orginal inhabitants of the entire island.
Evidence
Sinhala language is not a unique one but copied almost entire Tamil alphabet and grammer and contains nearly 40% Tamil words.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MUSLIMS ADOPTED TAMIL COS TAMILS WERE THE RULERS OF THE ISLAND.
ANYBODY KNOW THE IMMIGRANTS ALWAYS STUDY THE LANGUAGE OF THE LAND.
MAHAVAMSA CREATED BY SINHALA RACISTS TO USE BUDDHISM FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING AND JSUTIFICATION OF THE ETHNIC CLEANSING.
THE MAHAVAMSA IS THE TERRORIST BOOK AND MUST BE BAANED FROM THE WORLD.

Tamils are the orginal inhabitants of the entire world.

If tamils are the original inhabitants of the island why are they onely like 11% of the population?

did they get their arse wooped over and over? hehehe...

Looks like they are going to get their arsed wooped till its like .5%

If we always talk about the ethnic problem then we will not get any solution. Now this is time to make understand each-other by developing our compassion & wisdom, what the Buddha taught us not as Buddhist but as mankind. We need 2share all good & bad, all defficulties together. I request to the people dont make abuse 2the Buddha when some people make wrong way & they introduce themselves as Buddhist. There is no permanent soul as Buddhist, but those who follow the teaching of the Buddha, he could definitely recognize as Real BUddhist as well. Make matual understanding, forget proud of Race, ethnically at one's we all were Aryan in Mohendo-Jaro-Haraappa Civilization.

Red Indians in America, Aboriginies in Australia and Newzealand, etc are less than 10% despite they were the original inhabitants of the island.
