Their claims were as credible as Snow-white's story is.. with at times hardly any basis. Never have any scientific methods been used in learning from history by this &quot;intellectuals&quot;. That is why the Indian students' intellect has been insulted for last 300 years before and after independence with folk-lores such as Aryan Invasion theory.... which incidentally some bloggers - even highly educated ones still support despite its absolute farcical nature. Here is a video, where the author - David Frawley - uses scientific basis and knowledge gleamed from research by credible archeologists to weave the Indian past together. He shows how the beliefs of the &quot;Harrappan&quot;, the &quot;Aryan&quot; and the &quot;Dravidian&quot; civilizations were the same as were the artifacts and culture.  When I was a kid in the school and was taught the Aryan Dravidian conflict I thought the teacher was mad! The reason: Harrappans worshipped the Goddesses, the Shiv deity and the deity Vishnu; the so-called Aryans worshipped them too, and so did the &quot;Dravidians&quot;. Now, for three set of people divided by such a distance in space and time (different eras separated not by centuries but by millenia and by continents!).... this was too much of a coincidence in my eyes! Therefore, such a claim was fantastic if not completely idiotic, in my mind! But I could not say that to my history teacher without rebuke! Today Frawley explores exactly the same question! It is a rather long video - but worth a watch! Here is an introduction of the video:   A vast number of statements and materials presented in the ancient Vedic literatures can be shown to agree with modern scientific findings ... all \u00bb and they also reveal a highly developed scientific content in these literatures. The great cultural wealth of this knowledge is highly relevant in the modern world. Techniques used to show this agreement include: - Marine Archaeology of underwater sites (such as Dvaraka) - Satellite imagery of the Indus-Sarasvata River system - Carbon and Thermoluminiscence Dating of archaeological artifacts - Scientific Verification of Scriptural statements - Linguistic analysis of scripts found on archaeological artifacts - A Study of cultural continuity in all these categories."}
