History - May 2007

One of the biggest lies in the entire history of India has been that of the so called "Aryan Invasion Theory".
This theory was first introduced to the world by the British, when they ruled India, and it's purpose was to keep Indian society divided in order to make it easier for them to rule.

The theory itself argues that ancient Indian society was ruled by Dravidians and there that there was a huge invasion by "Aryans" who were from Russia and central Asia. The theory argues that these Aryans brought the Vedic religion to India. The British also cooked up some stupid idea that all Brahmins and fair skinned Indians were of Aryan descent and all "lower caste" Indians and dark skinned Indians were of Dravidian descent.

The Aryan Invasion Theory is one of the biggest myths propagated about Indian history. Not only has there been no scientific / archaeological evidence to corroborate the Aryan Invasion theory, but furthermore, there has been an abundance of evidence to refute it.

I was watching Cities of the Underground on history channel this weekend, and they kept reiterating that ancient Rome is buried 30 feet under modern Rome. (For example, Circus Maximus is buried under 30 feet of dirt and all you can see is a grassy field.)They stated that only 10% of ancient Rome had been excavated in 200 years of excavations.

How did so much of the ancient city come to be buried under the modern one? I understand the concept, but how could the Roman people not realize what is under their city?

Historically adherents to Catholicsm are poor because it is in their teaching that only in poverty and suffering they will find salvation. That is why the people are poor and the church is the wealthiest in the world.

I know one evolutionist said: "I know evolution is scientifically impossible, but I'm still going to teach it because it is morally comfortable". He further said: " As long as I believe I am nothing but an animal, I can live anyway I choose. Frankly, I don't want to be morally responsible to anyone."

[21]almost everydody has heard of pasteurization, but how many people know what it is, or who originated it?[22]The French Chemis Louis Pasteur developed the process, which involves destroying disease-causing microorganisms by applying heat.[23]That was only one of many accomplishments of this Scientific Genius.[24]Born in 1822 in a small town in Eastern France,he made his fist scientific discovery at the age of 26.[25]As his reputiation grew, he was elected to the academy of the Capital City's most prestigious schools.[26]Pasteur's discovery that Microorganisms can cause disease led to recognition of the importance of vaccination.[27]The Great Scientist developed vaccines for rabies, anthrax, and a form of Cholera found in farmyard fowl.[28]Thanks to the support of emperor Napoleon III, a special laboratory was created for Pasteur.[29] In 1874,the French parliament granted him a lifetime stipend, and the Pasteur institute was inaugurated in Paris a few years before he died.

I know everyone is the hero of their own story, so it wouldn't shock me if kids in those countries are taught a very different version of history than Americans are. It may even be that our version isn't 100% correct either (blasphemy!). But I'd like to get the perspective of those outside America.
