BRAHMAN: THE DISCOVERY OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM: M. M. NINAN<br />

No iridium anomaly , the characteristic of all impacts from the mammoth K/T Chiczulub crater [<br />

ALvarez ] to the Sudbury intrusive, has been found in the Indus valley of the required age.<br />

No shocked glasses , or tektites with the requisite shock deformation features, have been found<br />

anywhere near the Indus valley.<br />

Thus, although a cometary candidate for the extinction has been found in Comet Enke [ ], this is a<br />

far-fetched theory, to say the least. The destruciton of several civilizations simultaneously requires a<br />

global catastrophe. But some civilizations, eg. in Central and South AMerica, and China, survived<br />

the 1500 BC discontinuity. Asteroidal impacts tend to leave larger craters and more iridium, so the<br />

arguments against this variant of impact apply more forcefully.<br />

Flooding . Undisputed evidence of flooding has been found in the form of silt deposits and barrage<br />

system erected as a defensive measure. Flooding thyus remained a serious candidate until it was<br />

pointed out that several Vedic scholars had realized that the Aryans had destroyed the irrigation<br />

and dam system of the Indus. Thus flooding is a natural consequence of Aryan invasion and not an<br />

independant mechanism.<br />

Internal Decline<br />

1. To suppose that, after two millenia of stability some internal revolt was the cause behind the<br />

downfall is stretching the imagination.<br />

2. No evidence has been found for this, and when indisputable evidence of violence perpetrated<br />

with new weapons exists, it is disregarding evidence.<br />

Other Opponents<br />

Although the following may seem rather harsh, yet it is necessary to expose the real designs of<br />

some of the opponents of one of the most well-established theories of all time.<br />

The opponents of the concept of Aryan invasion fall into 3 categories:<br />

Aryan Hindu Fanatics<br />

Neo-Nazis<br />

These mostly have ulterior motives. The former oppose any vilification of their "gods" who are<br />

implicated in the worst massacres and atrocities recorded in history. They wish to see the Vedas, in<br />

acutality the songs of promitive cow-herds, as the repository of all science. The latter do not want to<br />

accept that their ancestors perpetrated such crimes. One religious fanatic who opposed the notion<br />

of Aryan invasion during its infancy was Narendra Nath Datta, later known as Vivekananda. All he<br />

could do was to vilify honest schloars:<br />

" And what your European pandits say about the Aryan's sweeping from some foreign land,<br />

snatching away the lands of the aboriginals and settling India by exterminating them, is all pure<br />

nonsense, foolish talk. Strange, that our Indian scholars too say amen to them, and all these<br />

monstrous lies are taught to our boys. This is very bad indeed.<br />

In what Veda, in what Sukta, so you find that the Aryans came to India from a foreign country?<br />

Where do you get the idea that they slaughtered the wild aborigines? What do you gain by talking<br />

such nonsense?"<br />
