Q: Aban Yasht and Rig Veda

[Guest guest]

This is probably a dumb question, that has to do with an out-dated

translation, but here goes any way :

 

The Aban Yasht that has the Avestan river goddess Ardvi Sura Anahita

clothed with beaver skins, also has the river goddess having a

thousand cells and channels, each with a hundred windows, a thousand

columns and ten thousand balconies.

 

Did the Avestans have such palaces while the Rig Vedic Aryans were

still dwelling in huts ?
