  1. The theory states that the proto-indoeuropean people traveled from their middle east location down towards asia and displaced the indus valley population at around 4000-3000BC. The Indus Valley residents were pushed to south india and have populated south india since. while the aryans have populated north india and Nepal. The theory has no strong footing and has been used to exacerbate the racism that exists between lighter skinned north indian and south indian darker skinned dravidians.


  2. I'm not as sure about the answer either. I assumed that the last global warming when the ice cap over North America and Canada melted, the huge freshwater sea that formed overflowed into the St Lawrence into the Atlantic. The sea-levels rose so that during a storm in the Mediterranean, the saltwater poured over the Bospherus and enlarged the freshwater Black sea and flooded thousands of square miles. (Not far from Mount Ararat). The Indo-Europeans were displaced so spread south looking for somewhere to live and terrorized everybody in the chariots and horned helmets. Some were Hittites that the n**i's thought were of good brute Ayrian stock. They occur in Deuteronomy advising the Jews how to run a religion so they get the best of everything.

  3. I think Rishi got it right except that I think it probably did occur.  India has been at the cross-roads of many invasions and there are a large number of ethnic groups and languages as the result.  It is unfortunate that centuries (or millenium) old conflicts are still used for fomenting racism or divisions.

  4. I'll add to Jim Z. that early on it was thought that what were called Aryans invaded violently, but recent reinterpretations in the last several decades of archeaological evidence has shown no sign of violent invasion, and more likely what was called Aryan invasion was rather a process of many gradual migrations. Possibly it involved bringing new forms of technology -- metal working, irrigation agriculture, etc. --, urban society and state forms of organization, new divisions of labor and associated ideologies, new kinds of religious specialists and military organization, etc. that put the newcomers in a position to dominate the indigenous societies.

  5. Henry Kissinger, after the Oklahoma bombing,  spoke and said: "It is time to play the ET card."  According to many alternative historians we were visited and the Aryan race was created.  The term Aryan  referring to the white race. These were the crossbreed bloodlines created from the genetic manipulation of the Anunnaki. The Aryan invasion theory was invented to solve the riddle of languages. However the invasion theory itself is filled with problems. We could say that the Aryan invasion theory is an attempt to solve one riddle by postulating another.
