 Linguistic Aspects of the Indo-European Urheimat Question
by Dr. Koenraad Elst
It is too early
to say that linguistics has proven an Indian origin for the IE family. But
we can assert with confidence that the oft-invoked linguistic evidence for
a European Urheimat and for an Aryan invasion of India is completely
wanting. One after another, the classical proofs of the European Urheimat
theory have been discredited... Linguistic Evidence |
 Indian scientist set to change world history
Was Max Muller at fault when he propagated the White Invasion theory? Did Aryan Invasion not take place? Are we going to witness a change in world history? If reports of Prof Lalji Singh — an internationally acclaimed biotechnology expert — are to be believed, recent studies and research work on tracing genetic lineage of primitive human species have already suggested a different world history, enough to prove a major breakthrough in this field. No White Aryan Invasion? |
 Decoding the Ancient Script of the Indus Valley
The ancient cities of the Indus Valley belonged to the greatest civilization the world may never know. Since the 1920s, dozens of archaeological expeditions have unearthed traces of a 4,500-year-old urban culture that covered some 300,000 square miles in modern day Pakistan and north-western India. Digs at major sites such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa revealed a sophisticated society whose towns had advanced sanitation, bathhouses and grid-like city planning.

Dr. N.S. Rajaram
The

and second, the Rigvedic people were
already established in India no later than
4000 B.C.E.... Aryan

Ganging up on biblical archaeology
A Times Op-Ed writer stubbornly dismissed evidence that shows an important artifact from the Holy Land may not be a hoax. Nina Burleigh ("Hoaxes from the Holy Land” Op-Ed article, Nov. 29) is unwilling to consider the possibility that the now-famous bone box (see left) inscribed "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" is authentic. |

Vedic Roots of Early Tamil Culture
By
Michel Danino

look at ancient India. For too long the
picture has been distorted by myopic
colonial readings of India’s prehistory

 Sculptures of the Indus Valley
The story of Indian art and sculpture dates
back to the Indus valley civilization of the
2nd and 3rd millennium B.C.E. Tiny terra-cotta
seals discovered from the valley reveal carvings
of peepal leaves, deities and animals. A golden
chapter of Indian sculpture opens in the 3rd
century B.C.E., when the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka
adopted Buddhism and set out to spread it's
teachings far and wide... Indus

Origins
of Iron Ore Working in India
 Recent
excavations in Uttar Pradesh have turned
up iron artifacts, furnaces and
slag in layers radiocarbon dated between
c. B.C.E. 1,800 and 1,000. This raises again
the question of whether iron working was
brought in to India during supposed immigrations
of the second millennium B.C.E., or developed
independently... Iron

Heliodorus Column
An archaeological

B.C.E., first came to notice in 1877, during
an archaeological survey by General Cunningham.
To our knowledge, Heliodorus is the earliest
Westerner on record to adopt Vedic principles... Heliodorus
