<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

K<strong>in</strong>g Yama Shah (Aryans)<br />

22<br />

In the first "Fargad" or chapter of Vendidad, the<br />

Golden Age of the ancient Aryans is outl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

with their greatest k<strong>in</strong>g, "Yima Kshaeta" (Yam<br />

Raj <strong>in</strong> the <strong>India</strong>n Vedas). Yima was able to<br />

conquer death and banish old age and death.<br />

Then, the ice age broke on the ancient home and<br />

the Aryans were forced to migrate southwards,<br />

to the southeast and the southwest.<br />

Mr. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a great Brahm<strong>in</strong><br />

(<strong>India</strong>n Aryan) scholar of <strong>India</strong> <strong>in</strong> the last<br />

century studied the Vedas and the Vendidad and<br />

identified this ancient homeland of the Aryans. The Vedas are scriptures<br />

written by the Indo-Europeans or Aryans after they migrated to <strong>India</strong>.<br />

From the descriptions of the weather patterns mentioned <strong>in</strong> the Vedas,<br />

Tilak concluded that the ancient home must be <strong>in</strong> the Artic regions <strong>in</strong><br />

Russia.<br />

Conflict with the Semitic Invaders<br />

The race known today as Aryan, orig<strong>in</strong>ated from the Hittite civilization,<br />

which dom<strong>in</strong>ated Mesopotamia from C. 2000 BC to 1200 BC. The<br />

Hittite civilization was almost unknown until excavations <strong>in</strong> the 19th<br />

century revealed the extent and importance of culture. In "The History<br />

and Geography of Human Genes", Cavalli-Sforza (1994) maps DNA<br />

evidence that traces Aryan ancestry to the Near East.<br />

He agrees with Renfrew (1987) <strong>in</strong> that Aryan language entered Europe<br />

from Anatolia and the Middle East. The article on Indo-European<br />

Orig<strong>in</strong>s (American Journal of Physical Anthropology Vol. 96, #2, Feb.,<br />

1995) asserts that Indo-Europeans entered Europe as the first farmers as<br />

the best fit.
