Sarasra Dynasty
| History of Cananganam |
|---|
The Sarasra Dynasty is the first, sometimes considered second, dynasty in Cananganamese historiography. According to Cananganamese tradition, the Sarasra dynasty founded the first kingdoms after the Sunset Flood. In Cananganamese historiography, the dynasty is followed by the Agharttee Dynasty, though some traditions place the Sarasra dynasty as an intermediary period within a greater Agharttee dynasty.
There are no known contemporary records from the time of the Sarasra dynasty. The dynasty is usually dated in tradition to sometime in the 3rd Millennia BCE, meaning the dynasty would predate all known forms of writing leaving little in the way of the ability to record the events that occurred aside from oral traditions where the first mention was later written down in either 591 BCE or 518 BCE. Many scholars today discredit the existence of the Sarasra, though studies continue for the sake of understanding more of the early migratory period of Asuranesian peoples. The topic of the dynasty is particularly popular in Nagu, where many theories as to the origin of the dynasty has led to nationalistic fervor over who is the "original rulers" of the region.
The dynasty is recorded as ending during the reign of Lata, who failed to stop many disasters from occurring as dated by a solar eclipse in either 2110 or 2109 BCE. The disasters recorded include failed crops, large floods, and social unrest over "eaten stars".
