This is why i “promote” certain tweets. Too much damage has been done by communist historians of india to distort our history and history books. I’m going to use my money to do my best to spread awareness about communist lies. I think its a perfect answer to them.

An outstanding interpretation of the "Pleaides" seal, by the artist Jano Bell, published in Expedition Magazine, Penn Museum. She was the wife of Walter Fairservis, the archaeologist. She acquits herself well, there is a natural depth and gravitas befitting the seal's imagery.

A new preprint, led by IIT Jodhpur, looks into the ancestry of eight Thar Desert populations - Rural pastoralists have a high IVC Periphery ancestry and affinity to BMAC groups. They exhibit high lactase persistence. Steppes ancestry arrived in 400 BCE - 200 AD

Another addition to the #hallofshame by @ASIGoI: Jhamarkota in Rajasthan houses stromatolite fossils aged at 1.8 billion years. These ancient relics capture the presence of cyanobacteria, Earth's earliest life forms, known for pioneering photosynthesis and independent food

A Celtic lore coin that can be purchased for 20 €. Cross-legged while seated, He is Cernunnos, and is surrounded by animals. The name derives from the IE word for horn. Near equivalent imagery and cognate words (Śṛṅga-शृङ्ग) are found in Indian archaeology & literature.

Indus Valley had Sanskrit names. Samar and Nanaza are the only names attested of the Meluhhans. In Sanskirt Samar means Battle Strategist or Warrior
It is finally available on https://t.co/cG6LyF3Jck Personal names of Meluhhans with some context... @yajnadevam

"Satyameva jayate" in the Indian emblem, from the Muṇḍakopaniṣad, is considered to be a post-1000 BCE work. However, the exact equivalent of this phrasing is in the Spenta Mainyu Gatha, a direct Zarathustra composition. The latter is dated to at least 1200 BCE by scholars.

Indian Trilemma Immigration theorists have to juggle - entry points for various languages - assign genetic clades to them - resolve archaeological data Only two of these can be resolved simultaneously. Example - the below conjecture leaves no identity for AASI and the Deccan
Dravidian languages in India are most likely associated with the migration of Neolithic Iranian goat herders, who initially settled in Mehrgarh & by the late Chalcolithic era, migrated further south into the Deccan region (Chalcolithic pop. of Inamgaon, Maharashtra).

The Rigveda comprises 1,028 hymns organized into 10 books. Scholarly consensus holds that these books were not composed in their current numerical sequence. In this thread, we explore the chronology proposed by Shrikant Talageri for the 10 Mandalas of the Rigveda.

An Indian archaeo-musicologist, Shail Vyas, made an eclectic research discovery - deriving over 30 commonalities in Sanskrit & Sumerian for musical instruments. He is also a recipient of the Homi Bhabha Fellowship. I would date this interaction to before 2000 BCE.
One of my absolute knockout moments, while reading his research, were the close match between Sumerian and Sanskrit words for musical instruments.

The Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal (1500 BCE) follows a notation, that is close to the Rgvedic triṣṭubh metre, for twenty percent of its verses. The odds of this by coincidence are "one in a million".
I don't think they learned music from Mitanni Aryans, it can be something more ancient that confirms the affinity of Rigveda with west Asian cultures

Aryan Invasion Theory --> Aryan Migration Theory --> Aryan Trader Theory Next will be, Aryan Pen Friend Theory, where Aryans would have pushed Vedas and Sanskrit and Chariot designs through weekly letters to Harappa. The Aryan fantasy never ends.

Beautiful @Jijith_NR's map of the Rigvedic rivers to mandalas. The earliest Mandalas are close to the Ganga and Yamuna and as the Harappan sites spread out in a radius, new rivers are named and listed. This is essentially Talageri's OIT argument.

M Halsam et al. 2010 show the lithic assemblages recovered from below the Toba ash layers (74000 years ago) at Jwalapuram in Andhra Pradesh, India. The million dollar question is whether they were made by AMH (anatomically modern humans).

1/2 The use of perforated vessels in funeral rites at the cremation ground is mentioned in the Bhardwaj Pitrmedhika. This suggests that these vessels were used in certain rituals related to Burial offering. @Devasakha @kalyan97 @Aatma_the_soul4 @sanatansamiksha @Param_Chaitanya

David Mumford, Professor Emeritus at Brown and Harvard, notes the similarities between a Old Babylonian tablet from 1900-1600 BCE and a Baudhāyana Śulbasūtra form in his 2022 book, Numbers and the World.

Bookmark this post. No discovery can change the fact that R1a is NOT of Indian origin. I am saying the above, and I still say with confidence that Aryan migration is nothing more than a myth as per all the data we have: genetics, archaeology, and textual records.
Bookmark this for a decade. A discovery in India of very ancient R1A genetics will prove an "Out of India" origin of all Indo-Europeans. It will also be proved that Humans used the sea to spread farther and faster around the world than via land. And India was a pioneer in ships.
