Michael Wood travels throughout the subcontinent, tracing the richness and diversity of its peoples, cultures and landscapes. Through ancient manuscripts and oral tales Michael charts the first human migrations out of Africa. He travels from the tropical backwaters of South India through lost ancient cities in Pakistan to the vibrant landscapes of the Ganges plain. In Turkmenistan dramatic archaeological discoveries cast new light on India's past.In Turkmenistan, there they find a civilisation named "Zorashtrian", and there they also find horse drawn carts or chariots called Raths which are mentioned in the Rig Veda.

Wood also attempts to re-create soma, an ancient drink recorded in the Rig Veda.

  • Fascinating!!!

  • @MrNewkingjames Noahs Ark was a golden egg?

  • @TheWhitefisher Nope, this has been shown to be false. The Aryan invaded much later, after the Vedas were written, after India was highly advanced, above that of Egypt.

  • I thought indians were descendants of a caucasian migration.

  •  Golden egg=Noahs Ark

  • The beginnings of the English Language.

  • Africa!
