The story of India - amazing BBC documentary series part (5 of 7)

The Story of India is a BBC TV documentary series, written and presented by historian Michael Wood, about the 10,000-year history of the Indian subcontinent in six episodes. It was originally aired on the BBC in six episodes in August and September 2007 as part of the BBC season "India and Pakistan 07", which marked the 60 years independence of India and Pakistan. In the United States, PBS broadcast the series on three Mondays, January 5, 12 and 19, 2009 from 9 to 11 PM. An accompanying text was published by BBC Books.

As in most of his documentaries, Wood explains historical events by travelling to the places where they took place, examining archeological and historical evidence at first hand and interviewing historians and archaeologists, as well as chatting with local people.

@994722 Amen Brother it is complex. This site is located in the: Bactria-Margiana Archaelogical Complex...BMAC.

This BMAC area is possibly the region in which the Indo Iranians seperated.

This is possibly a Zoroastrian site, with the Vedic Aryans continuing on to the Punjab. Evidently this split up was due to Idealogical/Philosophical dispute, to put it diplomatically

Origens Aryans (before split) 07:45 is Weastern Siberia and Asiatic Steppe: Andronovo Horizon (Sintashta-Arcaim Cultures etc)
