The tectonic shifts of around 1900 BC led to the complete drying up of the river. Since the Rig Vedas mention the Saraswati as a great river flowing from the mountains to the sea, it implies that the Vedic Age had ended at around 4000 BC, as pointed out by many scholars. For how long the Vedic civilization existed prior to 4000 BC is subject to conjecture. It could have existed for tens of thousands of years before it ended.Bibhu Dev Misrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388473714672380058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-5692473805852379052014-09-18T16:46:38.802+05:302014-09-18T16:46:38.802+05:30Saraswati river is mentioned even today while doin...Saraswati river is mentioned even today while doing sandhya vandana by the hindus. All other rivers mentioned are still flowing in India, However, Saraswati river is not flowing today. This has an implication to say that Saraswati river stopped flowing long back even before the so called useless theory of Aryan Invasion theory by the britishers/germans to show their superiority. Thus, Hindu civilization must not be less than 8000 to 10000 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864653463177413678.post-91516796663924595062014-09-09T00:12:39.075+05:302014-09-09T00:12:39.075+05:30Thanks.

However, we have not yet identified any material evidence associated with this culture. The Dwarka of Sri Krishna has not yet been found, while the modern day city of Kurukshetra may not necessarily be the place where the war was fought, since according to the Puranas Kuruskshetra was located between the Saraswati and Drishadvati rivers.

However, there is no information at all about the connections between Buddha and Ptah.

In my opinion advanced civilizations existed simultaneously in many different parts of the world - Egypt, Greece, India, Mesopotamia, China etc. for many thousands of years. These cultures also maintained contacts between them, and groups of enlightened people (e.g. the Seven Sages) moved between them, bringing about a common foundation for their sciences, philosophy and arts. Each culture had its own period of growth, when it shined brighter than the others, followed by periods of stagnation and decay. Groups of people also fanned out from these primary cultural centers to form sister cultures. If you take a broad sweep through history, this is the picture that emerges. The obsession with the fertile crescent area primarily stems from the fact that the colonial era historians wanted to locate the cradle of civilization in the land associated with Moses and Jesus. It has no basis in history. There is more and more evidence emerging that advanced cultures existed in many different parts of the world, going back to the farthest periods of prehistory.

We know that the Mitanni were Vedic people, with a Sanskrit vocabulary. <br />The root of the word Maitreya is "Mitra" which means friend. Interestingly, "Mitra" is also one of the Vedic deities,and we also know he was worshipped by the Hittites and the Mitanni since his name is mentioned in a treaty signed by them. Therefore, Nebmatra i.e. Lord Matra may be a reference to the Vedic deity Mitra. In my opinion this is a more likely possibility than the connection with Buddha.
