<ul>According to the Ramayana, King Ravana landed his flying machine the “Dandumonara” with Queen Sita from India, at the Thotupola Mountain.<br>
<br>The archaeological research done by Prof. R. Premathilake of the University of Kelaniya confirms that the incipient management of barley, oats, and herding, possibly of wild and domestic cattle, occurred around 15,500 BC in the Horton Plains, as evidenced by pollen and other multi-proxy records.</ul>
