There's a curious, partially submerged land bridge between India and Sri Lanka. It's called Adam's Bridge due to the Muslim tradition that the original human, Adam, crossed it after being cast out from the Garden of Eden into Sri Lanka (then called Sarandib by Arabic geographers — the same name later gave birth to the word "serendipity" in English because of an old Persian tale of a Serendip prince making discoveries by accident). It's also called Rama's Bridge because the ancient Sanskrit epic Ramayana mentions a bridge constructed by the god Rama and his monkey army to reach the island Lanka and rescue his wife Sita.
