History of Mankind

I still remember my first history lesson in Secondary School over 40 years ago. The teacher's name was Miss Blount – an eloquent, tall, slim young woman with short mouse-blonde hair. We were taught that the "Cradle of Civilisation" was Mesopotamia, the area around the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, which equates to modern day Iraq, or the biblical Babylon, or something like that. 

Instinctively and intuitively I knew this was a lie. I don't know why or how I knew this, I just knew. It turns out that European scholars had connected the dots using chinese whispers to come up with a 'version' of history that promoted their Eurocentric 'Christian' view of the World. They purposely advanced by several millennia the dating of the Vedas and fabricated a mythical 'Aryan Invasion' to make everything synchronize with The Flood to fit in with their narrow-minded theology...  to quote:

 “The Aryan invasion theory thus turned the "Vedas", the original scriptures of ancient India and the Indo-Aryans, into little more than primitive poems of uncivilized plunderers. This idea - totally foreign to the history of India, whether north or south - has become almost an unquestioned truth in the interpretation of ancient history. Today, after nearly all the reasons for its supposed validity have been refuted, even major Western scholars are at last beginning to call it in question.”   http://controversialhistory.blogspot.com.au/2007/04/myth-of-aryan-invasion-of-india.html

The familiar saying "a little learning is a dangerous thing" could never be more applicable in this instance.

Precedents and Subsequent Plagiarisms

Baudhayana provided the first documentation of what was later to become known as the "Pythagorean" Theorem about 300 years before Pythagoras travelled to India and studied the Vedas in the course of learning yoga. Even though the knowledge predates Baudhayana it was orally transferred without writing it down, which is why his Śulba Sūtra is the earliest record of the theorem.

There is no evidence that Pythagoras claimed authorship and this was most likely ascribed to him by the Greeks in promoting their nationalistic fame and fortune. As a humble ascetic he opened a monastery and accepted disciples to spread the teachings of ancient Vedic wisdom that he brought back with him.  

This is just one of many incidences dotted throughout European history where credit was never given to the actual original source of knowledge, but instead was claimed by plagiarism. Always, there is a gap of a hundred, perhaps two or three hundred years - even millenia sometimes - between the original "discovery" and the European authorship. The famous early Greeks Hippocrates, Plato, Euclid, etc all sourced from the Indian Subcontinent and the later Europeans Fibonnaci, Newton, Pascal, Bell, etc were notoriously slow off the mark.

All of the "dicoveries" that made these people famous were preceded by examples. There is virtually not a single Art, Philosophy, Science, Law, Theorem, Proof or Doctrine that is purely their own work. The newly formed empires and sovereign states of Europe were devoid of the ancient history and culture of established civilisations of not just India but China and even Meso-America. Their plundering didn't stop at physical property - the wealth of intellectual riches was also mined.

Many Western "discoveries" can be traced directly to Eastern origin.

Dates for the various Vedas vary due to disputation by Western "authorities". In many cases they were passed down orally for centuries if not millenia. Written scriptures are a more 'recent' addition to the Vedas - only a few thousand years ago!
