Vedic Aryans and the Origins of Civilization: Forth Expanded Edition with Additions on Natural History, Genetics and the Closing of Aryan Myth Paperback – October 9, 2014

by Navaratna Rajaram (Author), David Frawley (Author)
4.7 out of 5 stars 33 ratings
This is the fourth edition of the acclaimed work first published nearly twenty years ago. In this significantly expanded edition, the authors summarize the progress to date and set the stage for future research by incorporating recent discoveries in natural history like the Toba explosion 75,000 years ago. This allows them to show Vedic ideas and language to be late Pleistocene and early Holocene evolutionary phenomena that made their way to Europe some 10,000 years ago leaving their imprint on the languages and cultures of Europe. This provides a scientific explanation for the 200 years-old puzzle of why Indian and European languages are related. All these make the present edition the definitive work covering the discoveries of the last three decades and the starting point for all future work in the area following the collapse of the Aryan invasion myth

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Book On Indian Civilisation
    Reviewed in India on May 10, 2022

    This is a wonderful book for us who have been living in the darkness of the ominous spell of Friedrich Max Muller, an established German Scholar in Indology and a staunch exponent of Aryan Invasion Theory(AIT)/AMT. I read the AIT of Max Muller when I was a student of Standard IX and his theory was so mesmerizing that I used to share with my colleagues till recent past. But after finishing this book which is jointly authored by Sh.Vamadeva Sashtri(Dr. David Frawley), and Navaratna Rajaram the seemingly robust and infallible citadel which was built gradually in my mind around this AIT of Max Muller and others following the same line, has started crumbling. It is an eye opener for all of us who love our glorious past civilization, and take pride in the way our Vedic culture enriched other contemporaneous civilizations and still continue to influence western thought and philosophy.

    The splendid efforts made by the authors to bring to light the correct chronology of events starting from Rigvedic Period to war of Mahabharat(3102-BCE) through Sulbas Period which establish beyond doubt that even Pythagorean Theorem (credit of which is accorded to Greek Mathematician Pythagoreus) was developed by Indian Rishis and applied in practical day to day life especially in Sacrificial Altars.

    It is shameful act on the part of all stakeholders of our education system that we have not been taught the correct history for some ambitious politicians, community leaders with vested interest at the expense of supreme national interest. Now, I feel it is our sacred duty to share and disseminate the correct history to all although some will definitely try to oppose tooth and nail.

    Many thanks to the authors for their painstaking endevours in bringing to light the facts and truth which ultimately prevails. Satyameva Jayate!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener book on Aryan myth and ancient Indian achievements

    This is an exemplary work by N Rajaram, where not only literary but scientific evidence is used to prove that Aryan invasion is just a myth. The book also proposes and proves that Indian geometric algebra of Kalpasutras is older and is the source of not only Greek but old Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics. A must read for anyone interested in the true history of India.
