@a_south_indian @SkandArya999 @Jonn7310 Pretty good summary on movement of Chaff-Tempered Pottery and Indo-Europeans, very well aligned with genetics and archaeology. Still needs some work on exact archaeological trace. Maykop would be CFW (Chaff Faced ware), so is Novosvobodnaya

New: Trump’s crackdown on immigrant work visas is spurring a Wall Street hiring boom … in India.

@HondaWang I’m just Indian man, we built different

The word "Janaka (जनक)" has been found attested at the PGW level in the Bahaj excavation. It was a terracotta sealing & the marks are clearly proto-Brahmi. Found at a depth of 398 cms, it's stratigraphy has not been established. The lowest date (700 BCE) can be safely assumed.

Spiderman and Proto-South Dravidian DQ Fuller captures a remarkable archaeological trail of fibres, seeds and spindle whorls from the Harappan heartland into Bronze-age Deccan. All these terms in S.Dr langs come from the tadbhava form of Sanskrit jālika (जालिक) - a spider.

What a time to be alive, Trump truly deserves Nobel Peace Prize

The key question he should have answered is what language did Shahr-i-Shokt/Gonur BA1 and BA2 people speak? Because those BA1 and BA2 samples form the majority ancestry of modern Iranians and Indians respectively, with post-1000BC steppe input. BA1/BA2 spoke Indo-Iranian language

New Niraj Rai video: repeating same stuff about Sinauli Royal Burial from 1700BC. No Sintashta ancestry (aqua blue component). It has WSHG ancestry (green component https://t.co/I89ERoYTqU . Also he says if RV was written around 1000 or 1200 or 1500BC it cannot come from outside

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

@RichardHanania @SkandArya999 @a_south_indian repeat of history: Mitanni/Kassites are brought as elite soldiers (H1B), go on to become rulers of Mesopotamia (US CEOs/founders/inventors/VC/doctors/politicians). This is just start of Indian dominance, will continue for thousands of years in future

Given the Wild Horses were present in Northern Syria, Northern Iran and South Caucasus (NW Zagros is surrounded by these regions) in 6th millennium BC, it makes sense that Proto-Indo-Europeans were familiar with Horses in Northwest Zagros. https://t.co/yJN6ZbPZ7f

Given prior research on how R&D-intensive companies in the US respond to new limits on H1Bs (link/screenshot in next tweet), this EO should be called the "Offshoring Innovative US Industries Act of 2025"

@SkandArya999 I mean just look at the extent of AASI ancestry (AHG)

Two takes 1.Mehrgarh+ (PIIr) → Helmand (later BMAC as Ir) and IVC (IA) 2. Mehrgarh+ → Helmand (PIIr) → Sarazm → BMAC (Ir) and NW India (IA). IVC is archaic IIr traded as Meluhha (which Sarazm called Mleccha) Sarazm migrates west as Mitanni/Kassites. https://t.co/Y6TII6EeX3

Continuity from early Indo-Iranian influence on Sumerian religion:“Milking the udder of heaven: A note on Mesopotamian and Indo-Iranian religious imagery” by Gordon Whittaker to recent paper by Dan Baciu on similarity between RigVeda and Hyms to Sumerian goddess Ningal in Hurrian

Very interesting to see continuous contacts between South/Central Asia and Greater Mesopotamian region (including South Caucasus) from 5th millennium BC (Indo-Iranian migration) till Iranian migration west and takeover of entire region between them IVC maintained strong contacts
