What has the Indologists,Srchaeologists & linguists like Max mueller,,Ralph.T.H.Griffith ,Prof.Micheal witzel,Albrecht Weber,Nicholas Kazanas , John Marshall ,J.M.Kenoyer to do with Indus valley..? Their rep[orts are considered to be the most authentic about Indus valley |

The second post is a write up by Prof.Michel Danino. Who had given several comparisons of Indus valley scripts with Elamite,Dravidian & Easter Island scripts.

The difference is that European scholars are not bias, a tamil or south indian scholar will always try to connect south india with indus valley civilization, because they are convinced that indus valley was dravdian

I have in my earlier posts in other treads clearly mentioned that Indus valley civilization was not dravidian but had interactions with dravidian civilization. Dravidian today is only a language family ie South Indian language family. Agnicayana and other vedic Rituals were introduced to South by Brahmins and Kshatriyas who migrated to South India from gangetic plains. Nambudiris and Nairs are known to have migrated to south from Ahikshetra(presently Ahichatra) of Uttar pradesh. Nambudiris are Sroutha Brahmins whio strictly follow Vedic Religion and their is the oldest type of "oral tradition" ever known. And that is why Indologists are coming to south India for seeing vedic Rituals. 700 years of muslim rule in North India has destroyed the vedic tradition of north India.And now Agnihotris & vaideki brahmins of Andhra and Nambudiris and some other brahmin clans of South only practices vedic rituals.

Your statement that European scholars being not biased is not right.There are many who are biased. And your concept about South Indian scholars is also wrong.I have no biase towards anything and have never claimed that Indus valley is dravidian. They may be direct ancestors of people of Northwest India and pakistan.But their culture and religion now exists only in India. And many branches of Indus saraswati valley people due to natural calamities and other reasons had migrated to gangetic plains and different parts of East & South India spreading the culture and religion from very early ages. Tamil Scholars like Iravatham mahadevan who is a very strong proponant of Aryan Invasion is claiming the Indus saraswati Valley civilization to be dravidian and He & "Asko Parpola" had also put forth a dravidian decipherment of Indus valley scripts. They say that Harappan wasa dravidian civilization and the blue eyed white skinned horse riding Aryans came from central Asia/Germany/Greece/Russia and destroyed all the harappan cities and conquered it resulting in the southward migration of dravidian speaking people. This theory is not justified by even the earliest tamil literature.Genetis and Archaeology also is against such a theory.Genetical studies had proved consistancy in the skull(cranium) sizes of indus valley remains from a perion from 7000BC till 600BC showing no signs of an invasion or a genetical distortion or racial mixing. To claim the Indus valley ancestry you dont need to justify the false theory of Aryan Invasion. Harappan civilization was a very large civilization which spreaded on a very large land scape.The Rakhigarhi site is only a 100km from Delhi.ie Yamuna is only 100km away from this site Ganges(Meerut) is only 35 km North East of Delhi ie 135 Km or even closer to Rakhigarhi.There are many new arxchaeological sites excavated on the banks of ganges at different locations in Uttarpradesh and they have shown homogenity in utensils ,art & crafts and culture with that of Indus-saraswati valley.The archaeological sites of Jhusi and Lohardewa were of farming communities and were dated bck to 7100BC by well known archaeologists. The first sites of the civilization to be uncovered were Moenjodaro & Harappa. Only time will tell the real span and impact of the civilization. |

^ but why are you so sure they were hindus??? there is no proof of it. I mean they might have a similar idol worshipping religion but that doesn't mean they were hindus just like today. |

Proofs ...? proofs are plenty that too attested by archaeologists,Pashupati.Lakshmi idol,fire altars and many.. And those just mean they were following Vedic religion like us Hindus..,even if you disagree. |

Will you provide some proof & photo graphs for the same... ie of other civilizations For Idols similar to that of harappan shivalinga,proto shiva,fertility goddess dating back to 3000BC and fire altars with kiln fired bricks placed in 5 layers in different patterns dating back to 2900BC..

And for your information these fire altars of which I have posted photographs earlier were attestedby all leading archaeologists. The Pashupati idol along with shivalinga & other idols were discovered by sir John Marshall a British Archaeologist during his tenure as Director of Archaeological survey of India from 1902 -1928 and it was attested by all leading archaeologists of his time.This happened before the formation of present day India & Pakistan.

I'm going to fire up this discussion with a few "possibles" and some "what ifs". First though, I have to caution Balochii. The topic is "Connections with the Indus Valley Script and Rongo Rongo from Easter Island". Nothing else. Okay? No anti Hindu bias.
There is a group of linguists and Archeologists who have been working with a script they have been calling "First Tongue". They have found many inscriptions in 5 continents from Yemen to North America that conform with both Indus Valley and Rongo Rongo. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
 http://www.viewzone2.com/expo2002.html - http://www.viewzone2.com/expo2002.html This a link to the whole article. Following is a link to the Translator.
http://www.viewzone2.com/negev/z.html - http://www.viewzone2.com/negev/z.html
The first examples of this script were found in the Negev Desert, hence it's designation as "Old Negev".
Balochii, I don't understand your problem with the Hindu religion. It's quite possibly the oldest organized religion on the planet. Get used to it. Study it, it might well have all your answers. At the same time you might well get used to the idea that Civilization on our little rock is a hell of a lot older than what we have previously thought.

I don't see anyone forcing anybody to do or believe anything here. I certainly don't see anything remotely viewable as "Hindu Nationalism". He is relating history as he knows it. Either through teachings or observation. No different than you. If you can over-ride your bias, you might be surprised at what you find.

^ i have debating with hindu nationlistics for a long time, i am from pakistan afterall. i am not really talking about ranjith, but most hindu nationlistics have really wild theories, they think they ruled pretty much all the world just like afro-centric people. I agree that ranjith is probably not like that but i know which school of taught he is coming from, just look at all his postings. All i am saying is that they have to be open minded, i am open minded and i open to say ( i can be wrong) but their universe is just running around india, every thing is india or hinduism to them. |

Balochi I dont have a hindu centric mind.The society which I live in is a multicultural society.We are taught to respect all religions in India and festival days of all religions ie ,Diwali,Dussera,Bisakhi,Ramzan,Ganesh chathurthi,Bakrid,Christmas,Easter,Buddha Purnima all are national holidays. To my knowledge I havent posted any wild theories on this forum.If you feel my posts are wild then prove them wrong ie provide proofs against my posts, instead of claiming them to be wrong and calling names.... thats it

As time goes on the cautionary advice I recieved from a very fine archeaologist who was one of my first instructors rings more true. "Look carefully, be prudent, for all is not as it seems". With recent discoveries of a sunken civilization under 90 meters of water in the Indian Ocean [which by the way is supported in the Vedic verses] the possibility that the Indian civilization is the oldest surviving on the planet begins to have substance.
And for Balochii, there are more than a few authorities who believe that at one time, the Hindus may well have ruled the world, or more precisely the world as it was at the time. There is so much we as yet, don't know.

I guess I must now state my beliefs! I believe that the catatrophic collision of the "island of India" happened not millions of years ago, but merely thousands!
Early maps, even until the 17th century CE, do not seem to denote the collison of the Isle of India into the Asian continent! Thus, most every thing in India is younger than most every where else! But, this is merely my theory, and it has the weight of nothing! ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

The gap between the latest Indus seal ( ca 2000-1500 BC ) and the earliest known Easter Island Rongo-rongo tablet ( anyhow way after 1000 AD ) is enormous ; at least 2500 years.

The Himalyas didn't happen in a few thousand years. The Mountain range was formed by the collision you speak of. You can also get a rough dating on when the collision took place by examining the Marine fossils that are on the summit. When the uplift happened the summit of the Range was a sea floor. ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon.

Ranjithvnambiar asked if I could be more specific!
Technically no, since our modern dating techniques tend to side with the "rulers" of chronology! I, however, consider them as frauds! If they actually have a science it is voided because they are confined to dating certain things based upon past datings that were considered as in-valid and then they adjusted their measuring ratios, ect., and finally came into contact with the "consensual" chronology, with but a few exceptions! What I really believe is that it appears there does not exist any certain written documents from anywhere in India that can be dated with certainty to before the 1st century CE!, and maybe even the 14th century CE! You see, I place more importance upon real facts, that is those which are found in documents, that can be repeated upon a printing press, than anything else! Just like this site pretends to examine, that is, is there anything that can connect the child-like script of Easter Island to that of India, is much like asking if child-like drawings made by Indians and Norwegians are similar! Of course they are, and as well they should be! But, please ingore me and my theories, since it seems most all of you, and all of the missing and dead prior posters, tend to become more "one-sided" than "open minded!" But that is one of the most common things found in any relay of information found upon any site like this one! By the way, I have been particularly impressed by the lack of hatred usually found upon similar sites! Regards to all, ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

In that case I have to say that you are technically right but you are wrong too. Earliest
writings or signs were found in Indus
valley ,Mesopotamia , Egypt , China , Greece etc. To
be more specific the signs on several seals and tablets found from Dholavira
archaeological site of Rann of Kutch India was dated back to 3500BC.Ofcourse
you don’t believe in Cabon dating, but many others do. I need to say that I dont find rongorongo or any other scripts as childlike. You were more specific about your not believing the dates in certain cases and that’s enough for me to understand you too are not devoid of prejudice. Most of the Ancient Indic literature like Vedas,Upanishads,Brahmanas, puranas,itihasas and others were composed in pre-historic period and was preserved through oral tradition. As
you correctly said the scholars gave it a date based on relative chronology and
gave it much later dates like 1200BC, 800BC, 600BC etc.But they never bothered
about its content during the dating. Most
of these texts are explaining about many astronomical events like
equinoxes,eclipses and others which
took place much before the dates attributed to them. Please
find a link attached to the works of an Astro Physist from Memphis university
who based on the astronomical data given in the Indic text Mahabharata found
out the exact date of its occurrence with the help of Planetarium Software http://sites.google.com/site/sarasvati96/reclaimingthechronologyofbharatam:narahariachar%28july2006%29 - http://sites.google.com/site/sarasvati96/reclaimingthechronologyofbharatam:narahariachar(july2006) Even the date of Birth of Buddha as told by the stars were 1300 years earlier than the dates given by scholars. I
personally believe that stars or relative stellar positions will tell truth
which will be far more reliable than the dating based on the relative chronology of rulers as told
by you. Regards |
