People say that Vastu as a science is around 8000 years old. Architects back then were called Sthapatis and this technical knowledge was passed from the learned generation to their heirs. Proofs of vastushashtra can be found in Mahabharata, Ramayana, remains of Mohenjo-Daro and even Harappa. There have been proofs that human race has indeed benefited the human race. Vastu believes in treating the problems with a little reshuffling, redirecting, addition and subtracting colours and even with plants. But new archaeological inventions and innovations made the study outdated.
