As for the movement of races in the pre-historic past is concerned, we are all acquainted with a theoretical premise of the dispersion of an Aryan race which is still a matter of great controversy. This race is said to have spoken a language designated as centum from which all dialects German, Celtic Greek, Latin, Iranian, Sanskrit etc. arose in due course of time on migrations. No part of this theory could be proved even to any extent. Yet this proposed movement could explain settlements in Middle East complex and Greece on one hand and Persia and India on the other around 2000 B.C., but it did not cover the previously talked of settlements at Sumer and Egypt, and the question haunting the imagination continued to loom large on our minds as to the identity of the highly cultured people who, implanted civilization at Sumer and Egypt in circa 3500 B.C. and who could be rightly looked upon as hailing from a land, the cradle of world civilization.
The theory, that Indo Aryan homeland was located in the wide region stretching from Black sea Denyub region to plains of Europe, attracted the attention of experts to such a great extent that they were ever busy searching, more acceptable sites for the homeland in Euro-Asian complex.
Thus in a way the scholars mind got stuck in the confines to the search for the Aryan homeland so much so that the scholars were not prepared to think of any alternative approach. The importance of this work lies in the fact that a new approach to the origin of civilizations based on comparative study of civilizations has been undertaken to come to some conclusion.
The material for such investigation could be based on available archaeological findings, authentic historical research and mythology of races, which is not totally devoid of historical records.
The first problem is that of the original homeland of Aryans and the second is that of the language they spoke before they dispersed from their homeland and the third problem is about the antiquity of human civilization. The problem of original language of the Aryans has been camouflaged by introducing several technical terms which are all imaginary and for which there exists no evidence of any kind anywhere. A code for training chariot horse has been deciphered from the tablets found in Mesopotamia. When the question of tracing the language of the code arose, the words like panchavartan (Pancha-Five vartan from root vrt meaning turning) and Aika (one), belonging clearly to Sanskrit vocabulary have been dubbed as proto-Iranian. Although history clearly acknowledges that these show no Iranian features, still the whole matter is thrown into confusion and uncertainty by conceiving a proto language to Iranian and naming it proto Iranian. Not only this, a language proto-Indic, another proto-Indic-Iranian have also been conceived. This is all brain exercise in a plane blank of all facts.
