Jambudwipa i.e. Central Asia Thesis of Vedic Civilization

The Central Asia thesis for Vedic Civililaztion is a new concept that postulates Central Asia (Jambudwip) the cradle of human civilization. This was the land where earliest hymns of the Vedas were composed and this was the land where Indra fought and killed Vrittra and several early episodes referred to in the Rigveda and in the Puranas took place.
There are several benifits of this postulation that have solution of many controversial theories like Aryan Invasion Theory of India and question of Indo-European and Proto-Indo-European etc. It was here that Manu arraived about 120 million years ago and from him emerged the whole humanity. Modern investigators are advocating off and on that this was the region from where frequent movements of human tribes have been taking place.
Thus combining the archaeological and literary material we can unfurl the early history of humanity.
Not only this Puranas record several episodes that can be interpreted in terms of geology and geography of this period. There was a time when most of Europe and Asia was submerged in a Sea which scientists call Tethys Sea and the Puranas Uttara Samudra or North Sea. The Indian landmass collided the Asian landmass to give rise mountains like Pamira and Himalayas etc.

We have much to share with you on the subject and we propose to be in contact with you in future.
