BACKGROUND AND RELEVANCE First thing is that there are a few previous works on this topic or project. Everyone work on a project which is relevant to him. But my plan is unique and has a unique way of searching ancient history. I use mythology in a modern way and try to prove that myths are real and I try to prove in a logical manner. We all are busy in our life we never try to understand the myth that our ancestors wrote for us to understand the past, present, and future. ORIGIN: HUMANKIND There was nothing in the universe (observable universe) or our galaxy, we can say that the universe is in comma or died for a long time, THE BIG BANG THEORY, DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION and THE ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY of Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and all other religion, is Real and all the events happened in Ancient Time According to The Big Bang Theory, The universe is created by a supermassive blast, and according to the mythology the universe is created by their God or Supernatural phenomena. But as we all have MIND so we Think That Why God Create Us, How God is Created, Who created God But my question is why all Ancient Ancestors are Different in shape and size, some look like Animals, birds in Egypt, dragon face in china, and snake king in Maya. The next question is why Ancient Ancestors had different languages and different symbols? The next question is why ancient ancestors do rituals and sacrifice animals for God (did God was a non-vegetarian). all civilizations had God but the similarities are that they all had the same God-like, sun god, water god, air god, thunder god, knowledge god, moon, sea, and all god are live at Peak of mountain Why? There are many similarities in all ancient civilization:- like all citizen had A KING and GOD, Every civilization had Some rituals except Indus, every civilization makes big Pyramid or Pyramid like structure, Indian temple look-alike structure like Dravidian, language is different but they all had a language that is a similarity, (not like gods or alien they talk directly without writing and language system ), THE GREAT FLOOD is Universal similarities around the world and at that time they are no way of (communication through civilization to other civilization) , but the stories had had similarities, after flood only a man(m) and 7 sages and animal and seed are survived is a similarity in all civilizations flood myth, making of the ark or build an ark is also similar, flood for 7 days is also similar. According to the great flood myth the ancient civilization was flourished by god and only one person was alive with help of god. It means it is true that the ancient civilization are real and the myths are also real, just we try to find out the truth that can help us to prove the myths are real and this can be done by using modern technology . My research are relevant and i have proper references and past experience of some scholar give ideas to de-code the mystery of ancient mythology. 25. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES change the world , every human begin should know about their past, knowledge to tribes to develop them self, religion and rituals, Understand the Mythology, New generation must try to find their origin and their ancestors, New way to de-code Mythology, Use Modern Technology to find Ancient technology, No more hate On the name of religion and god, study hard not for getting a job but study for yourself, Be Like albert lin and never lose hope, Try to de-code human origin, Try to de-code Ancient language, all humans have faith on their ancestors(god), 26. METHODOLOGY Human: Origin and Evolution Mythology-cal | Page 3 My method is unique it is a mixture of many branches of science and social science. Like Paleo-anthropology study of human evolution. It is a sub field of anthropology, It helps me to study human culture, society, and biology. This is a unique and effective way to analyze my plan and it helps me to know that my work goes in the right direction. Paleography, The field involves an understanding of the similarities and differences between humans and other species in their genes, body form, physiology, and behavior. This is the mixture of different methodologies that gives a logical explanation, about ancient humans. and how they change with respect to time. my work area is very far from my location and risky too. Indus valley, in Pakistan, so the method to discover or explore the region is based on the data found on the internet. but little clues help to de-code the unknown clues and one day this little clue gives a big clue. and that's how a new methodology will provide a logical way to de-code the ancient code of human origin. No more questions against mythology. Every myth was real just think and try to solve the myth by using different branches of science. Hominid evolution starts in Africa and goes towards the Asia. Mainly Indus valley civilization and it is hard to go there But, my methods of exploring are different and it is based on logic. Today we have the Internet which provides every information within some seconds. Google Earth:- This is the best way to explore areas like the Indus valley, the Great pyramids of Giza, the Maya civilization, and many more things like The Nazca Lines. It is a group of very large geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. without google earth we never able to see that geoglyphs. So there are many other methods that help me to understand the concept, related to the Project. I choose the method because it saves time and it gives real and original data. Ancient maps and google (Maps) earth can solve many mysteries. The best part is it is free, fast, and modern. Very few can understand the methodology of exploring with the help of google earth. Wikipedia the source of resources. It provides references, which helps me to understand the method which I use is right or wrong. 27. METHODOLOGY JUSTIFICATION 28. OUTPUT SUMMARY 29. OUTPUT DISTRIBUTION SUMMARY This is the only thing which i can do easily. once my project got grants, i will share it with my community and tell them that everyone can do this type of work, No more study only for government job study hard to get you're goals. If i need to involve local communities i can do it easily because i understand their nature and behavior i can convince them whether it is an individual or a group of communities. The main factor is language and way of talking which is god-gifted in me. Hindi is my mother tongue so it is easy to communicate and engaged any local communities or other stakeholders. My area are mainly in India, (rajasthan, Gujrat, haryana, delhi, up, and south india) and it is very easy to communicate with them whether it is private or Government organisation. I have a Blog and social media account too, But my work is only on my blog and all things have proper references and cite. https://indianmeena.wordpress.com/ But there are a lot of post which i have on my blog draft .Not all content is available on my blog. 30. OUTPUT GRANTEE EVALUATION SUMMARY Human: Origin and Evolution Mythology-cal | Page 4 Measurement! I just love measurement. That’s because it tells you how you’re doing and how much progress you’ve made. Progress checks can motivate you, help you catch yourself when you’re slacking, and tell you when to change course. Without giving thought to how you define progress, however, you can measure the wrong thing, or measure the wrong way. You might end up demoralized for no reason, or falling behind unknowingly on a project, or missing opportunities. So if you’re going to measure progress, do it right! Turn off auto-pilot “gut checks” and measure progress thoughtfully. Measure process goals. If you’re Type A like me, you probably overwork yourself, under the assumption that more work gives more progress. But does it? Have you ever measured? Just being busy and stressed doesn’t mean we’re getting anything done. We need to track how far we are from our goal, and whether we’re closing that gap. First determine the kind of goals chasing. Outlines the difference between outcome goals and process goals. Outcome goals, are measurable actions that help you get closer to your outcome goal. On a daily basis, measure progress through movement toward my process goals. It doesn’t matter how much i work, only whether that work takes me closer to finishing that day’s process goals. Then check that my process goals are doing what they should, by tracking overall movement toward an outcome goal. Success as short-term wins. Sometimes your most notable achievements, like becoming an executive or finally making a considerable profit on a startup business, are the easiest to focus on. However, you may also define success as short-term wins, like reaching daily, weekly and monthly goals. Viewing success as a process can help you focus on the small accomplishments that lead to a major achievement. and that what i do from last many years work hard without thinking the success is small or large but success is important to achieve my goals. I measure my success on behalf of my thinking, when i think about something i put that thought in my diary but now in my blog. And once my thought are written i try to find their references and once i got reference it gives me a lot of more information. I don't know how many people can understand my thoughts but i know that if anyone wants to know about my plans and project i can surely convenes them. face to face . I achieved my goals can understand by the change in community and it's thinking. once every person free to study not for a gov. Job but for improvement of it's community, country and the world. my Goals are achieved when every person should understand it's responsibility toward it's ancestors and the upcoming generation. 31.

ISSN 0049-0857. 33. CAREER GOALS (Early Career Grant only) Human: Origin and Evolution Mythology-cal | Page 6 I am from ST(tribe). Not only me but all ST tribe children have no career, we get 7% reservation by Bhim Rao Ambedkar(father of Indian constitution) only in a government job. Due to which in our society, we are allowed to study only for government jobs. We cannot even think of going to any other field or we can't go to any other area like scientists, explorers, travelers, bloggers, journalism, and any other such field. There are many people like me who want to do something for society, the country, and the world, but they could not do anything. NAT GEO is the only way that can change our society and its thinking. Our society is afraid that if my child does not get a job, then how will he live in this country where the Dalit people have to commit suicide every day due to untouchability. Sometimes when they don't get a government job they can't even fill their empty stomach, no private company hires a Dalit.No media shows her because he is from a Dalit society, there is no cost to his life. Nat Geo is a way where they give an opportunity to everyone, irrespective of the society, tribe, or country. If I get a Nat Geo grant, I can convince everyone to write and study but not for getting a job, but to change society and country. Now I am searching and blogging on my project but I never tell them about my project because my family members also believe that study only for government jobs and nothing else is useful for us. As Valmiki had written the Ramayana, he said that caste and religion are not great than knowledge. Bhim Rao Ambedkar wrote the constitution of the country and then proved that there is nothing more important than knowledge. If I get a grant, I will be able to do my search easily. This is not just a discovery or project, this is a new way that will help us to understand the mythology. The subject that I am working on is an area from which humanity was born, from where our ancestors laid the foundation of humanity. This is the case of the Indus valley civilization, which very few people pay attention to. This is the matter of a language that has not been de-coded till today because the people of Indus valley who are alive today are running toward only a government job. They even don't know that they are the descendants of the Indus people. If Nat Geo supports me, I can change the way of thinking about Mythology. With the help of Nat Geo, I can get the tools that can show us some glimpses of the past. Technology like Albert lin used to find the lost maya. LiDAR, drone, temperature measuring instrument, AI technology, and much more, can be get only with the help of Nat Geo. Some of the locations are in Pakistan where it is difficult to find anything without any tools. The desert has many ancient things that can help Archaeology. It can also help us to de-code the Dravidian language. Now I'll tell you about my plan for the next five years. I am preparing for UPSC(Union Public Service Commission Government agency) and if once I selected in UPSC my all plans and project will be finished because the job will important and I get a lot of power in the field so and I have to work not for me but for my country. UPSC is the highest position in a government job in India, there is a lot of responsibility and then I am working for my country only. My project which is important for me for my community for my country and for my mother earth will be diminished in front of my eyes that will be the worst time, and I don't want to lose my project because this is not just a project this is a new way of searching the ancient history which is beneath under the desert, forest, and sea. The ancient souls of our ancestors waiting for someone who will uncover them. Nat Geo is the only way for me to uncover the ancient lost history, seriously I don't want a single penny for myself I need technology and modern equipment. My project can help us to know more about our past and once we know about it we can prepare us for the future. 34.
