Very interesting site!
Didn't have time to read it all, but what I quickly scanned seems to make some compelling arguments for being the oldest civilization.
Thanks for the link! Although I don't 'believe' anything as easily as I once did, this will make for some fine food for thought!

Do you mean "do you believe this:
Science historians have long acknowledged that the international numeral system (1,2, 3,), based on the concepts of placement and zero, as well as the decimal system were invented by the ancient Hindus. (Nonetheless many Western publications continue to call these numerals Arabic-- Arab historians themselves have always acknowledged the numerals' Hindu origins.) ?
I don't know, why does it matter? Are the Hindu people insulted that the Arab people stole their number system? Do they want credit for it after all this time? Did they patent it?
