Synopsis: The first volume of a quintet is a comprehensive

life-history of River Sarasvati. Intertwined with this life-history

is

the life-history of Bha_rata's (India's) ancient civilization dated

to

ca. 5500 Before Present (BP). The volume details the exciting

discoveries related to the ancient courses of the river using

satellite images and evidence provided by archaeology, epigraphic

inscriptions contained on weapons, bangles, seals and tablets,

ancient

texts and the tradition of many parts of Bha_rata, that is India. The

sections of the volume include: River Sarasvati: discovry and

revival;

ground-truth; culture, arts and crafts; gold, silver-smith; bronze-

age

Bha_rata; archaeology, language, writing system; Goddess Sarasvati;

Concept of Cyclical Time; Rigveda and Linguistic Area; Bha_ratam

Janam. The next four volumes will relate to: script, language,

technology (including archaeo-metallurgy, Soma) and the continuing

tradition of Sarasvati Civilization in Bha_rata and many other parts

of the world.

 

Review Excerpts: A paradigm shift in studies related to Ancient

India.

The book establishes the indigenous evolution of culture in Bha_rat,

from the Vedic times and is thoroughly documented with an index and

bibliography. A possible break-through in methodology to decipher the

script is also indicated; the inscriptions may be lists of weapons of

the bronze-age in its evolutionary stages.
