Who Were the Aryans? Hitler's Persistent Mythology

 There are serious problems with this argument. First, there are no references to an invasion in the Vedic manuscripts, and the Sanskrit word aryas means "noble," not "a superior cultural group." Second, recent archaeological findings suggest that the Indus civilization was shut down by droughts combined with a devastating flood, and there is no evidence of massive violent confrontations. Findings also show that many of the so-called "Indus River" valley peoples lived in the Sarasvati River, which is mentioned in the Vedic manuscripts as a homeland. Thus, there is no biological or archaeological evidence of a massive invasion of people of a different race.

The most recent studies concerning the Aryan/Dravidian myth include language studies, which have attempted to decipher and discover the origins of the Indus script and Vedic manuscripts to determine the origins of the Sanskrit in which it was written.
