Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Since you are on the topic of DNA, I thought you might enjoy reading some articles about DNA recovered from ancient mummies and other very old and odd sources. http://www.isogg.org/ancientdna.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNA_tested_mummies I tried to absorb the very long file submitted for "free" about Aryan invasion theories...but it just goes to prove that trying to nail down Indian history is a brutal task full of alternative explanations. If among India historians themselves the truth remains illusive, then how can one expect a non-Indian historian to make any absolutely accurate conclusions? It's a lot to wade through and leaves one almost numb with theories and guesses and counter-theories. I think that building up DNA profiles is absolutely essential to achieve any historical understanding. By the way, it IS Diwali! Happy Diwali to all . (OK so I went off-topic just a little) All the best, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Biblical account of creation was used to fix the breakup of the hypothetically reconstructed " Proto Indo European " language. The Rig Veda was dated at 1500 BCE as a consequence. Next the late, vague and sparse Greek accounts of " India " were used to date important figures like Panini and Chandragupta Maurya. M.
