"Watery Humpback Cattle Pattern in the Rigveda and the First Archaeologically Recorded Route of the Rigvedic Aryans Migration from India to Anatolia"

Semenenko, Aleksandr Andreyevich

Abstract

The article analyzes the main religious and mythological symbol of the Rig Veda - a water humpbacked bull and a cow. The material embodiment of this pattern was discovered in the Indus Valley in 4000-2000 years BC NS. And most noticeably around 3200-2800 BC NS. The same pattern spread further west in 2800-1000 BC NS through Afghanistan, Bactria-Margiana, Iran and Central Asia. Thus, the first in the history of Indo-European research, the exact archaeological route of migration of specific Rigvedic Indo-Aryan tribes from South Asia to Anatolia was registered, and the theory of the settlement of Indo-Europeans outside India was proved.

Keywords: Indo-Europeans, Indo-Aryans, Iranians, Rigveda, watery zebu image, archaeology.
