- No precedence exists for the copper antennae tilt swords from mature harappan sites
- No precedence exists for the cart burials
- Sanauli finds are efinitely a bullock-cart, round wheels too heavy to be pulled by horses. Word for bullock cart in Sanskrit is from Dravidian and replaced IE anas.
- Daimabad late harappan finds definitely show it was a bullock cart.
- Sanauli burials are 100% a part of the OCP culture, OCP vases found there
- Also confirms Copper Hoards are part of OCP culture?
- Iconography of bulls found in the burials but no horses or horse bones, confirms they are bullock carts
- Parpola suggests BMAC influence/origin for the swords
- Corrects a lot of his grossly incorrect takes from The Roots of Hinduism. No longer believes that Catacomb is Proto Iranian. Does not believe Abashevo is Proto Indo Aryan, but that PIA was Fedorovo/Eastern Andronovo while Srubnaya was Proto Iranian.
- He points out that post-urban BMAC settlements are surrounded by Andronovo pastoralist campsites but south of this region, neither Andronovo pottery, nor its barrows are found. So logical assumption is Aryans adopted BMAC culture and continued their southward spread in the garb of this BMAC culture.
- Thinks a wave of Proto Indo Iranians came to India from the Petrovka culture, a Sintashta successor, and that these PII are responsible for the Sanauli finds (extremley implausible). Then these Indo Aryans introduced a magic/tantra based pre-Atharvavedic cult.
He slays the foe and wins the spoil who worships Indra and Agni, strong and mighty Heroes, Who rule as Sovereign over ample riches, victorious, showing forth their power in conquest - Rigveda 6.60.1
