One of the most baffling mysteries of prehistory is where to find the original homeland of the Indo-European people. Where did our earliest ancestors come from?
Over the last two centuries an incredible number of locations for the Indo-European Garden of Eden have been offered, including the North Pole.
Just about everywhere from Germany to Kazakhastan has been considered a viable homeland site, with Turkey being a current favorite. The issue remains highly controversial and evidence for new contenders continuous to be brought forward every few years.
Recently a number of authorities have raised an intriguing new possibility. The Veda is the oldest surviving record of the Indo-European people, or at least the only one of any length. So wouldn't it be interesting to see the Veda has anything to say on the topic they wondered.
It turns out the Veda has plenty to offer in this connection. According to some Hindu researchers, tribes the Veda calls the Parthians, Persians, Druids, and Alinas may be the parthians, persians, Druids, and Hellenes (the Greeks). The Veda says all these groups lived in India at one time. It also explains that many communities migrated out of India. Might northern India be the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans peoples?
It will take years to sort out the complex historical issues involved here. For now, no one knows for sure. Still, it's intriguing to think there's a slim possibility that the fascination some Westerners feel for Hindu religion may be an unconscious attraction toward their own original spiritual homeland.
