Description

This paper was presented synoptically by Dr N. Kazanas at the Conference "The Sindhu-Sarasvati Valley Civilization: A Reappraisal", in Los Angeles (Feb 2009). — 24 pp.Argument: There are misconceptions about rigvedic pur, ratha and samudra based on the Aryan Invasion/Immigration myth. Then, there are some 10 characteristic features of the Sarasvati-Sindhu Culture which are not found in the Rig Veda. Moreover palaeoastronomical evidence (mainly N. Achar's work) places some Brahmana texts c 3000 and the oldest layers of the Mahabharata 3067. All this (and more) suggests that the (bulk of the) Rig Veda should be assigned to well before 3200 BCE - however unpalatable to mainstream thought this may be.
