In fact, there are not many exact clues about the migration route of ancient Indo-Europeans before 1500 BC. Because there is no literature, we can only explain the origin and early migration of ancient Indo-Europeans according to language relations.
About 1500 years ago, an ancient Indo-European-speaking people suddenly appeared in the Indian subcontinent. They were called Aryans. Since the ancient Indo-European language family originated in the plains of Eastern Europe, the only possibility to bring this language family from distant Europe to India is the migration of people who speak this language.
The early Aryans were quite backward, and their habitat camps were extremely simple, leaving no valuable remains. They don't care about recording history, so there is no special historical record in some religious classics they left behind. Even their existence has been confirmed by the written materials of non-Indo-European peoples who are keen to record the history around them.
Around 2000 BC, primitive Aryans crossed the Urals from the Eastern European Plain to the Afghan Plateau, and one of them went south to the Punjab Plain in the Indus Valley. The other is in the opposite direction, heading west into Iran. In Iran, they first appeared in Assyrian records in the middle of the 9th century BC.
A common misunderstanding that needs to be mentioned here is the improper use of the term "Aryan". This name only applies to Indians and Iranians, because it is the name they use to address themselves. For a period of the 20th century, European ethnologists unexpectedly extended the word "Aryan" to refer to Indo-Europeans, which was equivalent to calling all China people Suzhou people. During Nazi Germany, the use of the word "Aryan" reached its peak. As a result, Hittites, Greeks and Germans all became Aryans, as if they had immigrated from the Aryan homeland in the East. But in fact, the branch of Indo-European race is the indigenous people of ancient Indo-Europeans in Eastern Europe, and Aryans only expanded eastward after separating from them.
Aryans 1300 BC, due to the compilation of Rigveda, the Indian classical civilization represented by Aryan civilization was called Vedic civilization. Archaeological relics show that in many ways, the early Indus civilization was much superior to the Aryan civilization. Aryans defeated the original Indus civilization with their military strength and established their own society. Some indigenous residents were absorbed into Aryan society as the lowest caste "sudra", while others retreated to areas that Aryans had not reached for the time being.
By the 6th century BC, after 65,438+0,000 years of continuous migration and war, Aryan Varta, the territory of Aryan people, was finally extended to the whole northern India, the Himalayas in the north, the Indian mountains in the south, and the sea in the east and west. The conquest of Aryans and the spread of Vedic culture, represented by Brahmanism Committee, made the whole Indian subcontinent merged by a culture with the same identity. This culture has influenced today, and Aryans are the founders of this same culture.
Da Yue people.
In the Afghan Plateau, the hometown where Aryans lived, there was once an ancient Indo-European who crossed the towering green hills (now Karakorum Mountain) and the Tarim Basin full of yellow sand and came to the Qilian Mountains in Gansu, China today. For the first time in history, a connection was established between ancient Indo-Europe and splendid Chinese civilization. They were called "Big Moon Family" in China ancient books and were expelled by Xiongnu. Their leader was hacked to death by Attila, and his head was made into a hip flask. Later, it was extinct by the Han people, and it was also called Tuholo people in the west.
