It's fascinating that the difference between early indus and late Indus is longer than the difference between time of jesus and modern day

[@jesseberg3271]

That's true of several "Old World"/Eastern Hemisphere societies. Cleopatra was closer in time to us than she was to the Pharaohs who built the pyramids. I'm sure there's an equivalent in China, but I'm not sure what it would be.

[@abhinavjha8062]

That's true of even T.Rex who lived closer to us than earliest dinosaurs in its timeline. Mind boggling stuff!

[@chris894r]

Neolithic/bronze age civilizations tended to last much longer than subsequent iron age ones. This happened in South Asia, but also in Levant and Europe. The shift was mainly due to the domestication of horse cca 3.000 BC, then apparition of chariots around 2.000 BC and radical changes in warfare brought by them.

There're also theories that it is "Mohan jo Daro," meaning "the mound of Mohan." Also, the common spelling is Mohen, not Mouan, in Sindhi Mu-an means dead, Mohen is no word. Mohen jo Daro would mean "The mound of Mohen" not "the mound of dead".

Indo Aryans came from Southern Russia Yajurveda 13/37, "O wise men, learn from the sages of old, who are hospitable, like charioteers who harness their horses, who are well controlled by the skilled, and who have seated themselves on the seat of justice." Here the Vedas ask to learn from the ancient sages, that is, there were ancient human civilizations when the Vedas were written. Then I saw who were charioteers, horsemen. As we know, Ratharohana, i.e. the chariots was invented long after human civilization The oldest known chariots have been found in burials of the Sintashta culture in modern-day Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, dated to c. 1950-1880 BCE

[@Kalki0025]

Sinauli, India had chariots at the same time as Sintashta. Sinauli is one of the earliest archaeological sites in the Indian subcontinent that provides evidence of chariots and royal burials with warfare elements during the Ochre Coloured Pottery (OCP) and Copper Hoard culture in the Ganga-Yamuna doab, more than 4,000 years ago. The material culture recovered at Sinauli indicates that the Sinaulians were involved in warfare activities. The antiquities recovered show a high degree of sophistication in wood and copper craftsmanship. Eight burials have been excavated so far. Among them was a unique royal burial with a copper-decorated coffin with legs, and a lid that featured high-relief carvings of anthropomorphic figures. These figures wore headgear with two horns and a Ficus religiosa (sacred fig tree) at the center. The figures, besides having detailed faces, were depicted with broad shoulders and torsos. This burial also contained two chariots, a copper pot, a helmet, two stick tops, a copper channel, a copper-decorated whip, gold-steatite beads, and pottery, suggesting the individual was of royal status, possibly a chief or clan leader. The discovery of three full-sized chariots in these royal burials suggests warfare took place in the region. The chariot wheels were decorated with three rows of copper triangles radiating from the center. This discovery indicates that Indians were using chariots, helmets, and swords in warfare more than 4,000 years ago. Additionally, the recovered items include antenna swords with wooden hilts and copper spiral wiring

@@Kalki0025 The distance between these two place (Chelyabinsk and Sinauli) is over 4400-5600 km even on todays roads, which is huge. and takes 40+ days of walking time without stopping, to make it, so with 8 hour walk per day it takes 122 days or longer. Chariotry could have developed simultanously as well... Or there could have been a civilization that domesticated horses, and spread fast with this military advantage. But even then 100-200 years feels really fast to get this distance in actual ways of domestication, so i feel simultanous discovery is more reasonable...

Fun facts, out of some of the words rigveda uses for indus people is Mlechha, which comes literally from meluha, a term used in mesoptamian texts for indus people Some other words rigveda uses for them are anindra - indra less Anyavrata - someone with different (anya) vows (customs) Ayanjya - those who don't yajnya Shishandeva - those who worship lingam My favourite of the word rigveda used for indus people is नृषद् meaning someone who sits among humans. Meaning the types of creatures who are not humans but still sit among humans.

[@spacexfanclub6529]

"Shared History of India and Pakistan" is not an accurate description . History of India (or Bharat) is more than 5,000 years old starting from Early Indus Valley Civilization and at its peak under Emperor Ashok Maurya (3rd Century BC aroundish) , the Mauryan Empire (Hindu[Chandragupta Maurya] to Buddhist [Ashoka Maurya]) spanned over modern day Afghanistan , Pakistan & India. This was all before Islam even existed. History of Pakistan starts from only 1947 because Pakistan is primarily just people of Indian religions who were forcefully (or not) converted into Islam & their descendants later demanding a nation of their own where Islam would be the main & (these days) only religion.

@@llawliet57807 Wrong, People who first migrated out of Africa 70,000 years back long but changed in fact the oldest remnant of pre harappan ancestry i.e so called indigenous AASI component itself contains 30% Neolithic component. And it's not Iranian Neolithic farmers but pre farming populations who settled in india from about 12,000 bce as shown by recent genetic analysis. Hence it's now believed that these populations intermixed with indigenous AASI populations about 5000 years before formation of Indus valley On the basis of which modern studies indicate even farming was independently developed. Now coming to average IVC person genetics it's about 80% Neolithic and 20% aasi. Whereas the modern population is about 65% IVC Neolithic, 20% aasi and 15% steppe indo european.

Dravidian people migrated from ancient Iran. These proto-Iranian farmers Dravidianized ancient India and also influenced Hinduism or animistic religions that existed alongside the hunter-gatherer populations there The impact of Dravidian migration on the region was possibly more significant than later Aryan migration to southern India.
