الملك نبوئيد - 🇸🇦
620 ق.م – 522 ق.م

بعد سقوط بابل بيد الفرس، إنتقل آخر ملوكها (نبوئيد) نحو الحجاز

أسس دولة شملت منطقة تبوك والمدينة المنورة - وإتخذ تيماء عاصمة

أغلب رعاياه مهاجريين (عراقيين/سوريين/يهود) +سكان محليين ثموديين

Wrong.
Much before Savitribai Phule, it was Hotee Vidyalankar.

Around the 1770s, Hoti Vidyalankar, a renowned philosopher from a kulin Brahmin family of Bengal, established her own chatuspathi (a traditional center of higher learning) in Kashi. Her school became a sanctuary, where women, particularly young widows, could access advanced scriptural education.

Hoti Vidyalankar was a scholar, philosopher, and educator, who ran a traditional Sanskrit institution. She was a profound authority on Sanskrit grammar, poetry, Smriti (law), mathematics, Navya-Nyaya (logic), and Ayurveda. Her profound erudition deeply impressed the pandits of Varanasi, who officially hounored her with the title ‘Vidyalankar.’
She taught advanced many subjects, which included intricate grammar commentaries, Hindu philosophy, and medicine.

You need to get over the fake of narrative Phule starting the first girls school in India!

Six animals surrounds the Pashupati seal!🔥

Elephant (on the right)
Tiger (on the right)
Rhinoceros (on the left)
Water Buffalo (on the left)
Two deer (or antelopes), depicted looking backward so their horns nearly meet in the center below the throne!

All animals found in Indian geography!🔥

Yet Audrey Truschke tried to argue that a deity surrounded these Indian animals is Iranian - Elamite.

If it is Indo European, then she just conceded that Indo European languages and PIE originated in Sarasvati Sindhu Region.🔥🙂

[Nick Collins @nickcollins1953]

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.

I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.

Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."

Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.

What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.

When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.

In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.

So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

Sogdian sculpted depictions often resemble garden gnomes.

They look like magical people that travel and pass down wisdom.
That's were Zoroaster(Zarathustra) was likely from.

This is the Kaaba in Mecca in 1880.

Islam’s holiest monument stood, until recently, in the middle of a settlement made of mud and stone.

What is called the Islamic Golden Age was simply the work of conquered peoples, Persians, Christians, Jews, Greeks, and others, whose achievements were claimed as Islamic simply because they lived under Muslim rule.

Zarathustra - Protector of the Cow

Antialcidas Nikephoros is famous as the first Yavana to bow to Vāsudeva/Krishna the Cowherd (Heliodorus pillar).

However, the Greeks had been fascinated by Zoroaster since the 5th century BC, 200-300 years before the Vāsudeva pillar, and in his own hymns Zarathustra is the cow's appointed protector. Likely, the Yavana road to a Cow-revering figure was way older than 100-113 BCE.
