The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Indus Valley cradle, where brilliant and original thinkers made groundbreaking discoveries. The history of these discoveries is recorded in the vast Sanskrit literature. In this study, author M. K. Agarwal explores the cultural and historical significance of the region. He explores Indus Valley culture, which encouraged creative thought as opposed to the Abrahamic faiths, which herded followers into dogmatic thinking. He holds that these religions prospered because of their unfettered hatred of the Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist peoples, who were demonized as pagans to be murdered, tortured, raped, enslaved, and robbed. He also considers the achievements of that culture, such as the creation of the most affluent, most scientifically advanced, and most spiritual of all societies, with archeological moorings that can be traced back to 8000 BC. No other region can even come close to transforming people and culture like the Indus Valley, but the world's Vedic roots have been ignored, shunned, and covered up. Uncover the history that has been lost and develop a deeper appreciation for the true cradle of human civilization with The Vedic Core of Human History.

The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Sindhu (Indus) and Sarasvati river valleys as of 8000 BC, or earlier, where the unparalleled ideation of enlightened philosopher kings (Brahmins) ushered in material and spiritual wealth that was to remain unchallenged until the 17th century CE. The fabulous archeological remains of the Mohenjo-Daro/Harappa complex are fully complemented with vast theoretical treatises in Sanskrit as proof of their innovation and originality in all aspects of human endeavor. The Vedic heritage, unsurpassed in its scientific inquiry, majestic resplendence, spirit of universal tolerance, and eternal timelessness, was to influence peoples, cultures and paradigms around the globe expressed as Pyramids, monuments, temples, architecture, sculpture, dance, music, games, sports, and much more. Whereas the Vedic-Hindu priest kings had envisioned man as the center of universe, the Abrahamic religions of the Middle East turned man into a slave whose suffering as God's will could be alleviated by prayer only through the priestly class. World wealth was subsequently looted indiscriminately as pagans and kafirs had no soul and could be slaughtered and enslaved at will, so sanctioned by Koran and Bible. Vedic Hindu cultural patrimony in Sanskrit was usurped as well and passed off as Arabic by false translations, distortions, omissions, and the like, as Arabs themselves were an illiterate lot and were both culturally and materially bankrupt. Arabic books translated into Latin became the backbone of European universities for several hundred years and sparked European Renaissance after Enlightenment. At the end of the colonial era, Europeans became masters of word wealth but could not link the genesis of their prosperity to anything significant in their own cultural past. An Aryan Invasion theory was consequently invented whereby Europeans were the original Aryans who had come from somewhere, anywhere, to civilize Brahmins in the Aryan heartland. The Vedic heritage was thereafter passed off as stemming from Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt and so forth, although these areas have neither the archeological ruins of antiquity nor literature to back such ridiculous claims. Furthermore, European Aryan invaders also imposed Sanskrit whose roots were to be found in a hypothetical Pro-Indo-European language that has never been discovered. Vedic ancestry was claimed successively by Germans, British and Puritan Americans as proof of their cultural superiority. This fight to claim Vedic ancestry forms the best proof yet of its unsurpassed ideation. Paradoxically, modern Indians, steeped in school book anti-history, despise their own glorious past, and look to the West as their cultural mother which is only repackaging Vedic patrimony of ancient Bharat.

Ancient History of India's Vedic Culture Vedic culture has its own history, the tradition of which takes it back to the beginning of time. This book is not a typical review of the history of India, but explains what the pre-historic traditional Vedic background is, its basis, and how it developed and expanded through time. We also look at a number of artifacts that prove the ancient existence of some of the most important aspects of the Vedic customs, and how the tradition itself describes its developments. This book also helps show that the spiritual philosophy of Vedic culture seeded many of the other civilizations in their beliefs that evolved in various regions of the world. Some of the topics we view include: * Descriptions in the Vedic texts on the way the world was created. * The prehistoric date of Vedic beginnings. * How the Vedic knowledge was given to humanity. * The way the Vedic texts came from an ancient oral tradition and then was compiled by the sage Vyasadeva, and then disseminated to society. * The antiquity of Vedic culture and the Indus Valley civilization. * The times of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, and proof of Krishna's existence. * The real time line of Lord Buddha. * The first recorded migrations out of ancient India of tribes that formed other civilizations. * Astronomical dating of the Vedas and events recorded in the Mahabharata, and more.
