Part of the original email I tried to send to Graham Hancock. But since the mail-server seems full I will post part of the message here.Hope someone will find this interesting.
--------
The purpose of my email is to share information with you about another remarkable yet relatively unknown stone masonry and megalith site in Sri Lanka, known as Ritigala: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritigala
According to traditional archaeology, it is attributed to the 1st century BC. However, having visited Peru (and also Angkor Wat), I observed striking similarities in this site, and it definitely appears to be much older than its assigned timeframe. The entire site is constructed using granite, employing interlocking techniques similar to those seen in Peruvian megaliths. Some stones are as large as 5m x 2m
According to local legends, there is a belief that an ancient technology existed to soften granite. Furthermore, the legends suggest that the site dates back over 10,000 years to the time of King Ravana (famous in Indian mythology for the Rama-Ravana battle). Later, it was inherited by kings and eventually donated to Lord Buddha.
The site has seen minimal excavation by the Department of Archaeology, and the tour guide informed me that what we currently see represents only about 5% of the entire ancient city.
I have shared some videos I took during my last trip here :

I trust you will find the site intriguing, and I hope you might consider visiting it yourself someday. I believe this discovery could contribute another significant piece to the narrative of our long-lost, ancient advanced civilization.

1) Old trees have outgrown the stones, clearly indicating that the site is much older than its attributed age:
