Prehistoric Bori Bk

Bori is a multi-faceted village situated on the banks of the Kukdi River in Junnar Taluka of Pune District, has a glorious rich heritage of prehistoric and stone age and proven its distinct identity and archeological existence through every era of history.

From the volcanic ash (tephra) in Sumatra island to the existence of the fossil age primitive man, pre-Shiva and Shiv period, pre-independence and post-independence transitions to today, Bori villages, which are modernized while preserving and enriching all the heritage, are a huge treasure that every Indian should be proud of.

Bori dates back millions of years from Tekra ash found in and around the Kukdi river bed. The question arises, where did this ash come from? The eruption of the Toba volcano on the Indonesian island of Sumatra was devastating. And the volcanic ash that comes out of this is called tephra. The ash layers found in Bori and the area are 5 to 10 meters high and it is generally said that this ash is similar to the ash of Masco Island these ash layers should be 74 thousand to 8 lakh years old from the research of Deccan College Pune. Due to this eruption on the island of Sumatra, the mouth of the volcano erupted 30 km from that place. By 100 km. The crater that formed such a huge crater can be seen today in the form of a lake. The ash released from this eruption affected the Earth’s atmosphere and climate. So much ash was released into the atmosphere that there was no summer for the next 6 to 10 years, so the whole earth experienced a mini ice age of about 1000 years. This resulted in a life-limiting threat to all living beings including humans. Therefore, the fact that the human population on Earth decreased by 3 to 10 thousand during that period shows how much change can be made in the environment and living creatures due to climate change.
