About the Book

The book reveals the mysteries of civilizations concealed in proper and personal names in ancient Indian texts. In a nutshell, using numerous examples of similar names and events, the author establishes that the geographical background and historical contexts of the ancient Indian texts such as the Rig and Atharva Vedas, Samhitas, Brahmanas, Puranas, and even the later two Epics were in the Ancient Near East. The proper names that often indicate the geographical regions are well connected with Asia, Greece, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria, and particularly, with the territory called Canaan. Canaan's location in between Mesopotamia and Egypt makes it possible to speculate the Near Eastern geographical background and historical context of the ancient Indian texts. Dr. Liny Srinivasan traces these connections with the help of historical linguistics tools such as systematic changes that may have taken place during history of languages like Sanskrit, Greek and hieroglyphic Egyptian. The toponymic names indicate some of the geographical regions that cover a large area from ancient Syria-Palestine to the coasts of Asia Minor, Egypt and even to Ethiopia. That makes it possible to think of the time of the Hyksos rule of an Empire extending from Egypt to Asia. The Rigveda authors may have been in Egypt during the rules of the Hyksos foreign kings of Egypt. The book will open up some different ways of explorations in history, language, archaeology, and culture. The scholars interested in culture and history of the entire region mentioned above will find the book exciting as this change in concepts has the potential not just to shed some light on the missing links in ancient Indian texts, it could also fill the gaps in the ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern history.
