could soma come from swayam meaning of itself,nectar?
the secretive agni(fire) worship every 16yrs or so in kerala has a special part:offerring soma made from soma lata(vine) and handled with wood ladels specially made for the worship, and the soma is fed to the fire(the form of the Sun on earth?)
@poonamstoryteller soma "Somalatha" is there in kerala .which is used for yaga's .He should have asked for it in india(Bramins of kerala), rather than going to pakistan and asking for it and telling that its not part of hindu religion
...What a load of crap...this whole Aryan migration theory is a bunch of crap...Every North Indian is an Aryan...the correct word is not even Aryan it's Arya...the original name of our country Aryavrat before it was named after the Great Indian King Bharat ( not to be confused with Lord Ram's younger brother of the same name)....'N talk of the Greek gods and this whole migration is again bull...The Greeks are actually worshippin' Hindu Gods and Godesses...!!!!
The only difference was that the Greeks called 'em by different names...which is understandable...for example Zeus the god of thunder and lightning...It's no mere coincidence that he's the same as Lord Indra...who's also the god of thunder & lightning..there are several other examples of such Indian Gods and Godesses being worshipped in other Cultures....India as we know it ruled most of the world if not all of it...but Kings of those nations were allowed to rule as Proxy Kings..!!!!
@Rahsum, Well, West was only able to explore its knowledge base till Greece, so the limitation. To study the Orient, one needs a lifetime as Indian History goes back to yugas...Sat Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapar Yuga and Kali Yuga.....,Most knowledge from the Vedas still remains to be deciphered....
I see a lot of bias in the entire series. Why no one ever spoke of several distorted facts and missing data in the series, lack of which should have led to banning this series? We have enough evidence that civilization in India existed long before what they are calling migration of Sanskrit speaking Aryans - which is wrong. Ramayana and Mahabharata are two great historical facts sufficient enough....
there is a theory that the Vedas were brought by Noah (Manu) who after the flood populated Mesopotamia, Persia nad then from there to the NWFP. Even the Indians say that it was a foreigner who brought it and that it was handed down word for word.
My understanding is that there are 100 times more Sanskrit Manuscripts than Greek and Latin combined. Most of them waiting for qualified Translators and Scholars; unfortunately this precludes me. I'm allright with Sanskrit; presently working through a very technical treatment of the Epic Dialect: Panini's "Astadhyayi"...Patanjali...Kashika and so forth. I have a preferrence for the Vedic, especially Rig Veda; and just went through that in some detail. I'm aware of what is at Universities...etc.
the mother of all languages are greek . Greeks have much more Ancient scripts than 15.000 years old . As a matter of fact the only nation that can be compared in matter of ancient civilization are the egyptians and still .. :)
The racist British are at it again. Fabricating history, distorting the truth of our people's history, disconnecting Iran and India, so they can rule. The British impoverished India as they did Iran. The British fund death squads (i.e. radical islam) to terrorize the people in the middle east and prevent progress. It is the British who have stolen Iran's pre-Islamic culture, art and re-labeled it "Islamic". PUT AN END TO BRITISH TYRANNY IN ASIA - THE BRITISH ARE VILE BLOOD SUCKERS -- VAMPIRES.
@r052476577 hi i am from india. soma drink is old name used by kings but now many peoples do no what is mean by soma drink. for your knowledge soma drink is called as SOMA BANAM in india. bye
To me, this video series seems biased. Why don't they do there research comprehensively. The man in this video is talking about human migration to india 40,000 years ago, whereas there is concrete evidence in the stone paintings that humans were there much earlier than that around 100000 years ago, in Bhimbetka rock shelters. Why dont they do unbiased research.
@rahsum I also agree and see a lot of bias in the entire series. Why no one ever spoke of several distorted facts and missing data in the series, lack of which should have led to banning this series? We have enough evidence that civilization in India existed long before what they are calling migration of Sanskrit speaking Aryans - which is wrong.

@asafilmaker I do accept that West is currently ahead of East, but they have always remained biased to East. Yesterday, I was watching a documentary 'How big universe is' yesterday, it introduced the documentary by saying: it were greeks who first tried to look at universe scientifically. West believes everything started from Greek civilization onwards. Thus, completely neglecting the contributions of Indian and Chinese civilization.
"soma" as described in Vedas is a creeper plant and "soma" is actual juice drawn from fresh stem of that plant. It is possible that a type of plant can extinct with time as climate changes as it is happening today. Its not a root as shown in this video. Well, as an Indian i read our scriptures with out help of a translator as Mr.woods did in this video and added a bit of his imagination. Also, there is a good physical description of Indra which exactly fits today Indian than an Iranian/European.
the indus civilization, founder of human civilization were not aryan, sanskrit speaking then..because sanskrit's source comes from outside india..meaning the vedas are nt from india...but the indus civilizations were what??, obviously not sanskrit speakers..vedic gods not indian??..but the cult of shiva started in indus civilization..also aryan means civilised?? what about the harrapan civilization(thats nt civilised)??
@satchi123 Sanskrit, Latin, Celtic, Greek, Hittite, Russian, English and many more are all members of the "Indo-European" root language family that is thought to have originally developed many thousands of years ago in the steppes around the Caspian Sea (tho the exact details are still debated). That is, they all have a common origin that comes from pre-historic times well before Sanskrit. Approximately 1.7 Billion people speak some type of Indo-European language today.
Why would "Aryans" not from India and brought Sanskrit and Vedas mention only the places that are in India. Why didn't they mention the places from where they suppossed to have desended even once in the Vedas. They moved to a foreign land started liking it (India) and suddenly forgot about their origins!!! Why do they suddenly consider India as their only Mother & Father land. Can any one please explain? A good documentary though

@SHOOTER0072003 You are 100% right, Sanskrit is the mother of all laguages. Of course the Europeans wont believe it because they speak a laguage that derives from Sanskrit as well. If they admit it, it would make us (Indians) superior than them. So, obviously they will never admit this fact.

Vedic Sanskrit is the oldest form known of Sanskrit, it came from one of the oldest civilizations on earth in the Indus Valley. Persia did not even exist yet.
madar, persian for mother, , great, and mutter is hindi for peas, so what does it matter , woods is not a prejudiced anything, he is just a historian, the most important part of that title is story in history. calm down and enjoy
@kit007yes dude....sanskrit isnt derrived from persians.
persian is different language. although both sanskrit speakers and persians were the first and the only true aryans.(note: real , ie. having black eyes and hair)
in all hindi,marathi,punjabi
mata =matru =mother.
mutter is not a hindi word,its a loanword.
and this british man spews lies, aryans didnt come from uzbekistan ...its boorish, even recent genetics claim r1a originated in india.
@kit007yes I believe that persians and hindus were ancient enemies of each other essentially their leaders are criminalized. eg indra appears a evil figure in the zorashtrian gatha(gatha=in marathi/hindi/sanskrit=goshta=story).
but in india indra is title for king of gods,
in rigveda there is one king who fights 10 tribes and defeats them, he is called Sudasa.And the war is called war of 10 kings.
Pater (greek) pater (latin) Pitra in sanskrit, pedar is persian. in sanskrit its not pitar,its PITRA ...and a is not to loud.,... so sanskrit is not where from iran, and what persia was using 2500?
@kit007yes Eastern Iran and/or Western Afghanistan are the most precise areas we have. The seem to be nomadic and sometimes warrior horsemen from all calculations.
@MrIammyfav The Aryans .. whether of Indian or central asian, european origin, started to write in India only. IAIT creators/supporters said that their language was a simpler "proto-sanskrit" first and then it evolved to Sanskrit. But there is no evidence at all of any Sanskrit script to be found in the claimed origin places of Aryans, except north western India.
@MrIammyfav Aryans in their literature have NOT at even a single place mentioned that at some point of time their colony became so congested that a lot of their brothers set out on search of new place. This claim of kinship from west came only in 18th-19th century when they had to justify their occupation of Indian via racial supremacy and kinship.
@kit007yes Persian is another Indo-European language and is therefore related to Sanskrit -- just as it is related to English or Latin or Russian. However, Sanskrit is a substantially OLDER language than even the "Old Persian" of the original Persian Empire from the 6th Century BC. Therefore, your claim cannot possibly be correct.
Thank you "skinnysim" for posting such a wonderful documentary. I am Spanish, but I like to know about the beginnings of all cultures and the civilization of human beings in general. Documentaries are entertaining, but I think true knowledge comes from ones own research from reliable and scholarly sources.
let me educate a little on western theory, what they call indus river was never called "indus", it is "sindhu" river, when the western archaeologists came to do their studies they called it "indus" to give their own term and thus came the term "india", "india" is a not a native name of this country they are talking about, "bharat" is more then 3K year old name. This is just one of the points that I call "BULLSHIT" so shut up when you have no clue of what or who you are talking to!!!!
mr. amityaadav, first of all please appreciate that someone has taken interest in doing such a work...
Even if they are wrong as per you i guess you can appreciate the work they have done, so please dont be an ass and if you really have knowledge and details of the truth you can send the details to all the people who are interested in learning about Indian culture
