VEDIC CIVILIZATION ancestor of Egyptian Civilization

Author: Amlan Roychowdhury

In my previous article, I have probably written a year ago, I mentioned about the similarities between the Vedic civilization met and the Egyptian civilization. Even then, I would like to list some striking similarities to keep my readers informed and therefore make it easier for them to understand the context of this article.

I read a book by Bob Bryer, a famous Egyptologist, entitled "The Murder of Tutankhamen". While read the book, I found that very basic similarities between the Egyptian civilization and then of the Vedic civilization is, the actual life of the Hindus everywhere.

The similarities can be enumerated as follows:

1. When the father of Tutankhamen, Akhenaten, the pharaoh changed his capital to a place called El-Amarna and erected a temple to the sun god and appoint the temple as the temple of Karnak. The sun god in the Hindu pantheon is an important deity and a temple dedicated to the Sun god is located in the State of Orissa, built in 1278 by the EC Narasimha Deva. This temple is called the Temple of Karnak. We see a similarity not it?

3 The Egyptian phonetics, the word "Wadi" waadi means prounced as beautiful lush green valley. Devnagri in the phonetics of Hindi language, which is derived from the word "Wadi" also means the same thing.

Seeing these similarities that I had wanted to make a more or less detailed of civilization of the two with a look at the antiquity of Vedic civilization.

The two most important epics of Vedic culture is the "Mahabharata" and "The Ramayana". Both epics not only the result of someone's imagination, but in reality, the facts were told. The Ramayana is dated around 8000 years BC and the Mahabharata is dated 5000 BC. (See my articles on the Ramayana and the Mahabharata). These dates show that the Vedic civilization is a reality and a thriving civilization with all its majesty and grandeur, along the banks of the river Saraswati, Indus and Ganges. This civilization was technically very advanced. The Vedic literature, including the four Vedas and the Upanishads have volumes of a scientific treatise known as "Kala". There have been thirteen Kalas in those written by different scholars.

The first to be mentioned is the encyclopedic Shastra has been called Akshara-Lakshar. This was written by the sage Valmiki. All modern mathematics classes, including geometry, algebra, trigonometry, physics, applied mathematics, mineralogy, hydro, the methods of measuring air heat and even electricity, and geography is said to have been treated in this Treaty. The science of the day, it sabda-Shastra Written by Rishi Kandika deal with sounds, echoes of moving and non moving objects in creation.It also deals with the mechanics, measurement of height and speed. Sage is the author of Sakatayana Lakshan Shastra deals with the science of sex in creating determinig animate and inanimate. Sage Kasyapa is the author of Shilpa Shastra and includes 22 varieties and their thoughts have been incorporated in the above Shastra. The science of metal called dhatuvada was written by Ashwini kumaras.In there are 7 chapters dealing dhatus or primary substances and combinations of transmutation. Alchemy or converting copper, gold, etc. has been described in this paper.

Ashwini Kumar was a great Rishi, who also Visha Shastra wrote. It is also an exhaustive work where 32 different types of venom from their properties, their preparation and their antidotes. The next line is the science of the fine arts which was composed by Sage Bhima and this treaty is called karma Chitra shastra. The uniqueness of this science is that students have learned to create a person after I saw a single strand of hair or nails. Very advanced form of forensic science? Then there is the question Mala Shastra gymnastics and sports necessary to preserve health.

Sage Vatsyana wrote a book on Ratna Pariksha which means that test gems. Sage Vyasa has composed a work on Artha shastra has three chapters on how to earn money legitimately. Sage Agastya [Agastya Muni] is the source of Shakti Shastra. Nuclear fission and nuclear science, was part of this science.

Yantra Shastra by Sage Bharadwaj said that 339 types of land vehicles, 783 types of boats and ships and 101 aircraft types by the use of mantras and Tantras artificial means.

I mentioned some of Kalas only to understand the world, which forced the civilization to move the base and somewhere during that time, Egypt emerged. When we talk about Geographic distribution of Vedic civilization, not put them in the political boundary of India as it is today. The Vedic civilization spread toward Iran west through Afghanistan to Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal, Burma all the way to the islands of Java and Sumatra, Borneo, east. Therefore, it was not difficult to the large group of people turn to Egypt to go, let's say, Iran. Now, when you change the large group to a new place and begin to address what will change in them, their culture material, which is determined by the environment and current conditions. What will change is the social organization, rituals, religious and language process.

The name Egypt comes from the word "Jap" in Sanskrit Ajapati which means that the Lord Ram's most illustrious clan indulgence Aja. Aja's grandfather Lord Ram. The word means Ram God and the Vedic tradition in which governors were regarded as representatives or descendants of Egyptians have also God examined their Pharaoh as God or their descendants and their Pharaoh was also named Ramesis I or II. Here, allow me to mention one of the interesting facts about the sphinx. The pyramids have been dated to 3000 BC and the Sphinx dates from 6000 BC. This means when the pyramids were under the sphinx stood before them as a reminder of an ancient civilization that was for them and full of intrigue.

Dr.SKBalasubramaniam in his book "Hindu mythology and prehistory," the story of Egypt dates back to thousands years in time for the period Yayati who had two wives and know Devayani Sharmishtha. Yayati by certain forces of nature grows old before and was very depressed. He asked his eldest son Yadu Devayani who was to relieve him of his situation by sharing his youth, with age. Yadu refused to take the necessary measures and make any other child. Puru and Sharmishtha was the youngest son who agreed to help his father. Henver king was crowned king of the world, will replace his older brothers. Purus Puravida were descendants became known as the Pharaohs of Egypt who ruled the area with older siblings from his father as it is subjected.

According to Conde Biornsttierna in his book "The Indian Theogony" has much information about the Vedic culture in ancient Egypt. She said that the temples Upper Egypt are of greater antiquity than those of Lower Egypt and therefore the religion of Egypt, according to the testimony of the monuments, came from India. Conflicting opinions Sias temple in Abydos testify and that the religion of Egypt has made in India. Professor Brugsh agrees with this view and his book "History of Egypt," says: "We are entitled to more than suspect that India, in 8000 BC, sent a colony of emigrants who brought with them their art and advanced civilization in what is known such as Egypt. The Egyptians came, according to their records of mysterious land now known to be found in the Indian Ocean coasts "In this context there is no prude for me to say that 8000 years before Christ when the Lord Ram ruled the Indian subcontinent and this is why Egypt has obtained the name of his grandfather Lord Ram "Aja."

Nav Bharat Times In (a famous news paper in India), dated April 18, 1967 reported that one of the excavation took place in Egyptian Pyramid and date of 3000 BC C., Gita Bhagawan recorded verse is found. The verse was "Vasama jirnani Yatha vhiaya" This means that "as a person puts on new clothes, abandoning the old, the soul accepts the same, a new material body to leave the older and more unnecessary. This explains the ritual of making the mummy and burial of the system developed in the Egyptian civilization, where efforts are made so that the soul at ease with everything, because they believed that the soul needs of all these to is a body material. Reincarnation shortly. Among the Vedic Hindus today, everyone believes in the concept. This certainly find foster the idea that Egypt is a part of culture Vedic and was formed by immigrants from India.

Professor PNOak in his world famous book "The World Vedic Heritage, said the Egyptians called the India as the land of Punt or rather Pankht and considered that the divine land populated by Punts sense gurus, sages, prophets and gods. Further evidence of the roots of Vedic Area of Egypt, as mentioned in the book "Evidence of global cultures Vedic Existence" by Stephen Knapp, we realize when we understand that Rama was Rahm said that in the west. Later, the "R" has been abandoned and therefore, the textbooks in Africa, saying that Africans Ethiopian child (item Kush Ram) Ham speak as the father of Cush. The twin brother of Luv and Kush was the area that bears his name was known in Sanskrit as it is now Lavii pronounced like Libya.

Conde Biornsttierna says, in the same book, in the comparison between the religious system of the Egyptian civilization and the Vedic civilization is beaten by the capital each UEet like thei trinity with the unit, the pre-existence of the transmigration of souls, the division of the caste of priests, warriors, traders and farmers are the cardinal points of the two systems. Even the symbols are not even on the banks of the Ganges and the Nile Thus, we find the lingam of Shiva temples in India in the phallus of the temples of Ammon of Egypt. We find lotus as a symbol of the sun both in India and Egypt and are not symbols of the immortality of the soul, both in India and Egypt. The power to make fruitful infertile women is attributed to Shiva temple in India is also attributed to the temple of Amun in Egypt. "

Contacts between India and the Western world date since prehistoric times. Trade relations, preceded by the migration of peoples, inevitably develops in cultural relations. Evidence of contact with the ancient civilizations of India in the west, however, is true. Vases in ceramic pin Sumer came to India and so did cotton. In the Akkadian language, cotton in India has been expressed by ideogram meaning "plant tissue. Ashurbanipal (668-626 BC) grown in India, whose wool "tree that is "of India. According to the Purana Skandha, Egypt (Africa) has been called Sancha-continent dvipa mentioned in the trial of Sir Willliams Jones in Egypt. In Alexandria Egypt, the Indian scholars were a common sight: As mentioned in Dio Chrysostom (c. 100 AD) and Clement (c. 200 AD) an indirect contact between ancient India, Mesopotamia and Egypt Grace is generally accepted, but evidence of a direct relationship between the two is at best patchy. Peter Von Bohlen (1796-1840) German orientalist, cons India with ancient Egypt. He thought it was a cultural relationship between the two in antiquity. There are elements of art people, language and rural culture of Bengal that have an affinity with their counterparts in Egypt and have not been explained satisfactorily in terms of Aryan, Mongolian, or Dravidian influences. There are similarities between the names Places in Bengal and Egypt and, recently, an Egyptian scholar, El Mansouri said that in Egypt and India, the worship of the cow, sun, snake, and river common.

Recently, more definitive evidence suggesting contact between India and Egypt is now available. A clay mummy vaguely resembles Lothal Mummy Egyptian mummy and a terracotta is also similar to Mohenjodaro. In this context it is interesting to note that Egyptian mummies were wrapped in muslin of India. Similar Characters those of the Indus seals have also been found in excavations tables of Easter Island. Of all the Egyptian artifacts and patterns that indicate that contacts between India and Egypt during the Indus Valley, "the heart of the model that occur on a copper plate in the Indus Valley and the three seals of Egypt is more surprising link between the two countries. Gordon Childe, said: "In other words, in the third millennium BC in India and are able to contribute to the construction of the cultural tradition constitutes our spiritual heritage as it has been known since the time Alexander. "

Neither the historical events, nor against the cultural currents can explain the unique parallels in the myths and images of ancient Egypt and India. Walafrid Strabo (c. 809-849), German scholar said: "The lotus flower, dedicated to Buddha and Osiris, has five petals symbolize the four limbs and head of the five senses, the five figures, and as the pyramid, the four parts of the compass and the zenith. Other myths abound esoteric meanings are rarely simple and not irresponsible. "Indeed, the pervasive influence of Hinduism seems to go much earlier to Christianity. American mathematician, A. Seindenberg has, for example, showed that Shulbasutras, Vedic science, mathematics, are the source of the mathematics in the ancient world, from Babylon to Greece: "The arithmetic of Shulbasutras equations were used for observation of the triangle by the Babylonians and in building the Egyptian pyramids, especially the funeral altar of the pyramid in the world known as Vedic smasane-kit. "The Flower as prolific in the imagery of India and Egypt, grows out of the water and opens its petals to be heated by the sun to be fertilized. Since the first images in stone at Sanchi, the first century BC in India, the lotus flower associated with Sri, the goddess of fertility, which is then used as Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and abundance – to be worshiped by Buddhists, Jains and Hindus. The lotus in each hand of Surya, which means the fertilizing power of the sun as it travels across the universe.

In Egypt, The Blue Lotus is in the murals of the first dynasty of the pyramids of Saqqara VI and all the gravestones. Are offered to the dead, and holding in his hand thinking they have the power to revitalize: Move victim to life. Falcon carved in lapis lazuli and gold, and sun are symbols of the god Horus, the lotus appears among the funerary objects from the tomb of Tutankhamen.

The lotus becomes a leitmotif, a symbol more suitable for the waters of its links with the sun, the earth to heaven – which means fertility and regeneration in Egypt and India. Because it is the seed of the plant sets the cycle of birth, death and decay and rebirth that are the essential foundation of faith both in the coastal societies and agriculture. In India and Egypt, and the Saraswati rivers Ganges and Nile have provided sustenance, land and nurture the civilizations that have survived for five millennia. These two rivers, the Ganges and the Nile, are personified and worshiped. They provide a spectacular backdrop for the contras, and even myths created to explain the topographical conditions of the territory.

Since its birth in the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal, the Ganges flows around two thousand five hundred miles across the region Delta is known as rich Aryavarta in the most densely populated India. Puranic myths speak of the divine origin of the Ganges falling from heaven to earth in response to repentance by the Bhagiratha wise: the power to bring water to a parched earth for over a thousand years. In the seventh century, the port of Mahabalipuram in southern India, this issue is highly epic carved into a granite rock that extends into the feet of almost fifty years. A crack in the natural rock allows water from rain falling in torrents great – as if the descent of a mighty river. In addition to this slot is cut serpentine shape devata Naga (serpent deities), the sun and moon, and Kinnari Gandharva (celestial beings), hunters and forest animals – all to celebrate this great event where the divine Bank as El Salvador is celebrated throughout the whole humanity. Here is a spectacular example of how the myth is used to connect the man with the environment. In this myth, you feel very aware of the ecological balance must be maintained: the vapors rising from the sea to the sky by the heat, which is described in myth as covers, then again because the sacred river, which flows through the matted locks of Lord Shiva in the Himalayas to flow into the sea.

Since India, then in Egypt, the river is personified in human form. Easing sandstone temple of Ramses II at Abydos represents Hapi, the god of the Nile, taking in a couple of stalks of blue lotus flower in his hands, suspended from his right arm of God is The ankh, the symbol of life. Contrary to the Ganga, the Blue Nile god is male, but female breasts to symbolize the nurturing role – the release of water each year to provide the sustenance of mankind. The main deity pantheon of Egyptian president, Osiris, as Yama, the god of the dead, including the history of life, death and regeneration has been sent to us in great detail by Plutarch. Some special Parallels with the myth of Osiris is one of the myths and images of India. Lord Vishnu lying supine on the ocean bed asleep, like Osiris lying prostate and died on a stretcher. The Hindi word also means a cow "ray of light" and the Egyptian tradition of a cow is sometimes presented as the source of light in the sky.

Also important is the fact that Lieutenant Speake, in planning for their discovery of the source of the Nile, won the best information on the card again with the Puranas. (Journal, pp. 27, 77, 216; Wilford, in Asiatic Researches, III). The shape of the river, the Grand Krishna through Cus-dvipa, a large lake Chandristhan, "Land of the Moon" giving the correct position on the islands of Zanzibar. The name of the native Swamp Unya, with the same meaning, and the map correctly mentioned another native name, Amara, applied in the region bordering Lake Victoria Nyanza.

"All our previous information, Speake, said," in the hydrography of these regions, goes back to the ancient Hindus, who told the priests of the Nile, and all these busy Geographers Egypt, which disseminates knowledge to be recognized for their vision long term to solve the mystery that shrouded the source of holy river are so many hypothetical humbugs. Hindu merchants had a sound basis for Truth in relationships, however, the fact is that it was actually an ancient renaissance monotheistic religious tradition. Unknown to most is the true nature of this religion. This was not only Vedic religion, but was in fact a form of indigenous Egyptian Vaisnavaism. Search the Vedic roots has been shown through of Akhenaten family relationships to Hurrian / Mitanni peoples. Everyone agrees that the Mitanni were one and the Sanskrit-speaking people who write and worship the Vedic gods. What is overlooked is the fact that Akhenaten's father, mother, and his wife were connected with the Vedic Mitanni. Therefore, it is not surprising that religion Vedic similarities Akhenaten. Find BhaktiAnanda Goswami showed the character of the Vaishnava religion. In ancient Egyptian religion, the creation began with how NHRYN (Narayan), based on the primordial waters. A lotus grows in the navel, and that Lotus seems that the four armed and directed four Heliosphaner (Brahma), speaking it. Ancient Mediterranean Vaishnavism can be properly understood as the authentic sources on Vaishnava scriptures, especially the Bhagavad-Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, viratarupa is revealed (Universal Form) conception of the Supreme Lord. For example, the revelation of the self of Krishna in the "I Am", the verses of the Bhagavad-Gita Parallels directly the great hymns of HR-Heri ancient Egypt. Therefore, the ancient Egyptian religion considers HR-Heri origin of all gods and deities. That's why we use the name of Human Resources or Heri-ASU (Vasu) along the deities regarded as aspects of Heri. Thus, the god of wealth was called KPHR / Kepe Heri-because in the Gita, Krishna says: "I am · Kubera. At the age of eighteen, who came to power in the Kingdom. At this point, Gods. Some have claimed that a worshiper of the sun, Akhenaten rather it was an admirer of nature in animistic rather than a devotee of a supreme deity. But Akhenaten's own words confirm that this is not the case. Akhnaton spoke Sun disk as the Eye of Aton, and a representative of the Aten power. In the Bhagavad Gita, the Sun is described as one of the universal form unlimited eyes of God. In the Brahma Samhita, Sun also describes God's eye. Akhenaten reverence to the sun is well understood in this context.

The symbol of the Aten, submitted by Akhenaten, is an image the solar disk with an area of great amount of sunlight, ending his hands in a sort of triangular shape. Some researchers have also noted that the pyramid shape represent the sun shines on earth, in a triangle, with the peak is the source and spread widening as it reaches Earth. The similarity between the Aten Akhenaten and Surya is surprising. The description of Sanskrit divine light source fits perfectly with the image of Aton hymns contained in the Egyptian king.

The Puranas have an extraordinary relationship with one of the most important discoveries of the 19th century. In 1858 (1827-1864 John Hanning Speke) – Speke was commissioned in the army British India in 1844 – made the discovery that Lake Victoria is the source of the Nile in Africa. Speke wrote that for some experts in India (Hindu scholars), the Nile was known as Nila, and as Kaali. Neela means blue and a dark Kaali – both descriptions of APT to the Nile, near its source. They are mentioned in several Puranas including Bhavishaya. This was contrary to conventional wisdom, for Lake Victoria was unknown at the time. Sir Richard Burton, the leader of the expedition of the Nile, Lake Tangyanika was identified as the source. Speke, however, following the advice of a Benares (Varansi) Pandit, insisted that the real source was much more big lake was north. After this review was to Speke discovered Victoria. The Pundit also told that the peaks were the real source Somagiri Twins, "Soma" in Sanskrit means moon and "giri means peak and Somagiri are but legendary Mountains of the Moon in Central Africa! The Pundit should have known all this. He published his book Diary of discovering the source of the Nile in 1863.

The similarities of Egyptian civilization, science and religion with the knowledge Vedic is more surprising than those in the Jews. Specifically, in philosophical and religious. The details of temple worship practiced in Egypt are strikingly Similar to the worship of the Vedic Temple, including three meditations on the sun Sandhya (Amon-Ra the main deity in Egypt), the form of God, as men and women (Osiris / Isis, identified with the Sun and the Moon), bathing, dressing and decorating the deity (with a red, always regarded in India as the traditional color of the fabric to be offered the gods), Arati with offerings of food and incense, etc. The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an almost exact replica of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which comes to us through Yaksa Saivite Tantric tradition of the Himalayas, which has greatly influenced Vajrayana Buddhism or Lamaism. The Egyptian priests were aware of the various organs complicated subtle and astral travel (as do Tantric Buddhism), and some pieces of knowledge about yoga, too. The Egyptian priests were strictly vegetarian (even do not eat eggs), followed brahmacarya wishes and abstained from drugs, and went through several initiatives to make their service. Meat was consumed only by them in the subsequent periods, and derived exclusively from the sacrifices of fire. (It is therefore very misleading to say that the Brahmins "become vegetarian" in a subsequent period, after leaving their "origins" as Jews).

They have also been in charge of medicine and astrology, and had immense knowledge of both. Even the decor temples used the lotus as a symbol of purity and beauty. The list could go on and on. Several ancient Greek philosophers (including Plato, Pythagoras, etc.), visited Egypt and India to gain knowledge. While reading the teachings of Plato and Pythagoras, we Vedic knowledge are exactly the same explained in the Greek language. Now we know from the Puranas that when Parasurama avatara of Bharata varsa Kshatriya kings were scattered everywhere on the planet, while fleeing the wrath of killing avatar. We know that a group of Ksatriyas such, followed by their priests, family and his entourage arrived ancient Egypt and established a kingdom. Other groups were established in South America, Mesopotamia, Northern Europe and the lost continent of Atlantis mentioned by Plato and others. Similarities can be seen, such as the pyramids that is almost exactly the same in South America, Mesopotamia and Egypt. And that also resemble the great domes and senior oldest Vedic temples.

There is ample evidence that the Vedic civilization was the forerunner of all civilizations in the world. Similarities between the Egyptian civilization and the Vedic civilization and the evidence that will later be the ancestor of the oldest but one example.

There are many similarities between Celtic and Vedic civilization, Vedic civilization between Anatolia and between Vedic and Mayan civilization, etc. The question is similarities between one and many.
