@DrFrancisYoung @HarperCollins Thank you. I take on board what you say about mythology, nevertheless people don't seem to stop trying... I'm interested in the fact that some linguists eg @riccginevra argue that if you do attempt it, you must start from the language.
@kaeshour Your confidence is impressive. India didn't exist 4,000 years ago, and Sanskrit was spoken long before it was attested.
