From Vedic/Puranic Civilization to Indus 

Valley Civilization

Aryans of Indus Valley Civilization:

Aryans, The name to which we all could relate. We can be said Aryans. But more precisely, Aryan was a word which was used for civilization that existed as Indo-Iranian people. There are various dates on which these civilization could have been existed. It is said the Indo-Iranian civilization started around 3000 BCE. And the Aryans came passing by the Hindu Kush hills. It’s located in Afghanistan and Pakistan. So, clearly they came through Persia, Mesopotamia, Misr (Egypt) or other regions which were existed even before 3000 BCE.

However, our scriptures and Puranas describe that we had civilization even before 10000 years. If we consider the Ramayana as a true story, Rama existed 10000 years ago, which falls around 7500 BCE. And according to those stories, they describe the facts about locations which are still present in India, and few unknown locations like Kumari Kandam, which might have been sunk in ocean during ice ages. And clearly, if so many realistic features are included in scriptures, we can’t simply deny their fiction. So, if India (Then, Aryavarta) had civilization 10000 years ago, how Indus Valley Civilization which are seemed to be started by Aryans, could have come and found nothing here?

Existence of other civilizations during Puranic/Vedic period:

Besides, the Mahabharata mentions other civilizations like Misr, existed during that era. In one of the story, Mahabharata mentions Misr. So, Egyptian Civilization existed even 5000 years ago. So, the existence and construction of pyramids make sense. But how come Aryans (Indo-Iranians) couldn’t find ancient civilization here? We know that Harappa and Mohenjo Daro civilizations were also part of Indus valley civilization and they made the areas of Indus River as their home. E.g., Punjab of Modern Day along with Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Era of Sanskrit:

According to facts, Sanskrit existed between the second millennium BCE and 600 BCE, which clearly proves that Indo-Iranians used Sanskrit as their language since they came. (2500 BCE- 600 BCE). Then, the other languages came in existence and adopted by modern civilizations.

However, the Sanskrit used by Indo-Iranians is said the Indo-Iranian version of Sanskrit. And scholars say the Vedic Sanskrit is much older than that. Now this makes sense, because we have actual manuscripts of Vedas and Puranas along with Ramayana and Mahabharata, which are clearly older than that. So, it proves that a civilization existed even before the Indo-Iranian started the Indus Valley Civilization.

Where the ancient technology disappeared?

And if we deny that thing and believe that after Bronze Age, when Indus Valley Civilization started, we came in existence, then it denies the existence of any events described in our culture. Besides, our cultures and scriptures describe Vimanas and type of nuclear technologies which existed in ancient India. If Misr existed in that era, they should have these technologies too. And the pyramids might be created using such high technologies. However, Pyramids are said to be built during 2550 BCE, which is parallel time when the Indus valley Civilization also existed. And if our scriptures claim those technologies, what happened to them in just 1000 years and disappeared?  If we see the era of Bronze Age during 3000 BCE, we should not have those high technologies like Vimanas. (Since the Mahabharata was is dated around 3138 BCE) But we had. And that follows the one thing that a civilization existed before the Indus Valley civilization, and technologies existed too. What happened to those technologies and civilization, is a mystery.

Is there any connection between Puranic/Vedic Civilization and Indus Valley Civilization?

However, people believe than Puranic/Vedic civilizations like the Mahabharata civilization might have any connections with Indus Valley Civilizations. But since we don’t have any particular link to connect with them, we can’t be sure about it. Besides, we know one thing that Aryans actually came from North Pole or any regions near Iran and Mesopotamia. And we know that theory of evacuation of Puranic/Vedic civilization, and if we believe those stories true, it can relate to Aryans too.
