The Arctic Home of the Vedas

[Guest guest]

Members-

 

I have just now gotten around to reading The Arctic Home ofthe Vedas by Bal

Gangadhar Tilak. My impressionis that the guy knew more than he let on and

that he just let out enough to make the British crown sweat a little. He was

one of Gandhi's freedom fighters. You know, " get out of India and I won't

take the analysis any further."

 

Regardless of whether or not he knew more than he let on, he went along way

in establishing that the origin of Indo-European culture was above the

Arctic coasts. Specifically, he uses Vedic and Puranic statements to

establish that the home of the Vedic culture was above Siberia, as opposed

to being above Europe. I mean, come on people- How did he know that! He knew

what he was looking for before he went and culled all those quotes and such

out of the Vedas. ( See attachment ) It is hard to arrive at such a

conclusion through the deductive process as he did.

 

Although I have flipped through the whole book, I have only actually read

the first chapter. Let me give a sampling of some of his comments from the

first chapter:

 

" The works of German scholars, like Posche and Penka, freely challenged the

Asiatic theory regarding the original home of the Aryan race and it is now

generally rocognised that we must give up give up that theory and seek the

home of the Aryans somewhere else inthe further North."

 

In The Hollow Earth and the Aryan Invasion Revised, I made a case for a

North-to-South migration of the Indo-European races.

Tilak casts further doubt on the idea that the Caucasian race/Indo-European

culture originated in Central Asia and cast its influence on the

Skandanavians. Then he said:

 

" ... For reasons like these it seems to memore probable that the Finns

might have borrowed the culture/words from the Aryans when they came in

contact with them, and that the Aryans were autochthonous neither in Europe

nor in Central Asia, but had their original home somewhere near the North

Pole in the Palaeolithic times, and that they migrated from this place

southwards in Asia and Europe, not by any ' irresistible impulse, ' but by

unwelcome changes in the climatic conditions of their original home."

 

Also:

 

" Dr. Warren in his interesting and highly suggestive work the Paradise

Found or the Cradle of the Human Race at the North Pole has attempted to

interpret ancient myths and legends in the light of the new scientific

discoveries, and has come to the conclusion that the original home of the

whole human race must be sought for in regions near the North Pole."

 

Members-

 

I think that it is incredible that some archaeological and anthropological

writings would be so supportive of the Hollow Earth Theory. Has anybody ever

heard of the above book by Dr. Warren?

 

I always knew that the Vedic culturewould be a source of anthropological

information in support of the HET, even more than the Tibetan. It always

struck me as odd that the HET drew so much on Tibetan legend but that

theVedic, indological evidence was practically unknown. The more we scratch

on the surface of the Vedic evidence, the deeper down we go.
