“The great river of India spoken of in the Vedas—the Sarasvati—has recently been rediscovered and appears to have been the central homeland of the Indus Valley culture. This river, which flowed southwest in the region west of modern Delhi, roughly paralleling the Indus to the sea, contains hundreds of Indus culture sites positioned all along its dried banks. The Indus civilization, now renamed by many the “Sarasvati civilization,” came to an end with the drying up of the river around 1900 BC. As the Vedas speak of the Sarasvati River as having a wide course from the mountains to the sea, they must date from the period while the river was still flowing and must reflect the civilization located on it. This dates the Vedas well before 2000 BC, and makes them the oldest continuous religious and philosophical tradition in the world, contemporary with the pyramids of Egypt.”
