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.

  • They blocked the last two videos from me, thanks youtube.

  • its impossible to prove that aryan migration is from iran to india.

  • dont say that rigveda is not indian.

    dont say that Sanskrit is not indian.

    and more over when you are speaking about indian history, dont use the word Pakisthan. there is no pakisthan in indian history. only we should refer pakisthan when we are talking about present and future.
