Question: Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???


Question Description:
Whenever ancient statues, idols and other Hanuman related remnants are excavated, the physique and body structure of the hanuman imagery is muscular and built to such an extent that he must have been advaned in bodybuilding. The ancients must have been aware of the effects of bodybuilding on the body structure to be able to build statues so accurate in so far as the physique. Moreover, when carbon dating is used to ascertain the age, the age is classed as being thousands of years old - a time when bodybuilding didn't even exist.Moreover, the ancient vedic civilisations was believed to be advanced in sports and fitness and the hindu texts encourage wrestlers and bodybuilders to worship Hanuman. In Greek Mythology there is a deity that is described in terms strikingly resembling Hanuman and the Greek deity was also renowned for his bodybuilding prowess. Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???

Answer#1: I do not believe so as he was in reality a mythical character, but he was married to a mermaid!


Answer#2: Could be! Arnold Schwartzenegger looks a bit like Hanuman!


Answer#3: Unfortunately the authenticity of vedic history is questionable.Their is no reason, why people should not be aware of advantages of body building.The desire for looking smart or muscularly handsome cannot be one man's innovation but an attribute of human nature.But poor Hannuman as portrayed in Hindu idolatry is really abnoxious what to speak of its acceptance as model.


Answer#4: get a life


Answer#5: well id say so seeing as hinduism is the oldest religion ever and hunuman played a huge role for being one of the strongest disciples god in the world then yes,his physical body has to be potrayed that of strenght as that was his role..not sure.thats what i think


Answer#6: The Vedic civilazation discovered the truth of creation itself so it is not a surprise if what you think is correct.


Answer#7: i think it was the Spartans


Answer#8: dont kno, check the internet
