Where are the horses that the Aryans rode into India, hmm?
Because they never went to India, that’s why.
Thanks for the comments. This is the graphic with which I’m most familiar re: language relationships. This will make a good conversation starter for our homeschool.
If they never went to India, why do they have such similar, and rather unusual burial customs between India and Russia? And why are there similarities in language between Russian and Indian languages? The original reason for the proposed existence of Aryans and their travels is due to language similarities between European, Asian, and Indian languages, not any particular archeological sites.
Thirty or so kilometres off the southern coast of India lie drowned cities made of stone, some with pyramids.
These cities would have been above sea level 18,000 years ago. The Aryans didn’t invade India; the movement of people northerly as the sea levels rose has been corroborated genetically.
Those peoples from southern India were ver dark skinned, and the prejudice in believing they had anything to do with spreading Indo-European languages is strong. I suspect Sanskrit is quite a bit older than most historians would acknowledge and dates from before the end of the Ice Age.
You’re welcome!
“Finnish contains borrowings from all stages of Indo-Iranian, that is from Pre- and Proto-Indo-Aryan (precursor of Old Indic ~ Sanskrit), from Pre- and Proto-Iranian, from Pre– and Proto- Balto-Slavic as well as Proto- and North(-East)ern Baltic, and last but not at all least from all stages of Pre- and Proto-Germanic development.
The very earliest borrowings appear to come from a dialect close to Proto-Indo-European (PIE) itself. In some of these oldest borrowings speakers of Finno-Ugrian have reproduced so called laryngeal (‘H-like’) sounds of PIE, which later disappeared from all IE languages except Hittite and its closest relatives. Borrowings with laryngeals which appear only in the western Finno-Permic languages, often only in Baltic-Finnic or in Saami (“Lapp”), may also originate from an early Pre- or Proto-Balto-Slavic IE dialect, a dialect which may well have been a very archaic one in comparison to others within the Indo-European language family a couple of millennia B.C.”
