Lost History : The True History of the World
Here is the first ever account of the true history of the World, constructed from the cultural accounts of Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Mesopotamia, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and other cultures.
Some of the verses of the Rig Veda and Zend Avesta are referring to the ice caps of the Arctic region. Our forefathers lived somewhere in the Arctic region before the start of the ice age deglaciation, at around 19,000 BP. The rest of the world did not have free-flowing river systems before that time and was therefore relatively uninhabitable because of lack of water. Even if rivers existed, many of them were frozen most of the time. Our forefathers found some means of sustenance there in the Arctic region.
And at about 19,000 BP, we have an end to ice age glaciation. Deglaciation starts across the planet - Ocean levels rose suddenly by around ten to fifteen meters around this time. The habitat of our forefathers got submerged in the oceanic waters and they became displaced. The survivors then started moving south.
As deglaciation started, river systems start forming at various places as ice melts and flows into river waters. Even frozen rivers start flowing freely. The Nile starts flowing freely in the Egyptian region. Similarly, rivers start flowing in the northern Indian Saptha Sindhu region. And then some rivers flow in southern India, in the extreme south, and the Sri Lankan region.
The Survivors came toward central Asia. At this place, they split. One group goes to the Egyptian region and settles there on the Nile delta. Another group goes toward India and settles there in the Saptha Sindhu region. A section of this group goes further down south and settles in the Sri Lankan region. We have another set of forefathers who belonged to Africa. Even they started migrating from Africa and started settling in these three places after 19,000 BP. While the migration from Arctic Region was one-time, the migration from Africa was gradual and prolonged.
Together, our two ancestral groups started forming habitations and, later, full-fledged societies. Settled in this manner, they have an unfettered civilization for six to seven thousand years, all the way up to the great flood and colossal destruction of 11,500 BP. We can understand what nearly 7,000 years of unfettered progress of a civilization would do. They had actually advanced greatly. This is the reason why, on occasions of archaeological findings, we find that our forefathers must have been comparatively more advanced than us. The presence of the ancient Tesla network, which we are still incapable of implementing with all of our technological progress, is a case in point.
Civilization was mainly present in these three places only—Egypt, northern India (Saptha Sindhu), and Sri Lanka. As the scriptures attest to, it is probable that these three communities had frequent wars with each other. Probably, the Egyptians and the Sri Lankans were often at war with each other, and the northern Indian group played the ally of Sri Lankans because of the proximity they have with them.
A few thousand years into this existence, the northern Indian group split up. Brothers in arms against each other, theological differences, fight for wealth, etc., whatever might be the reason, they split. One section went and settled in Mesopotamia and Persia. Another group went and settled in the nearby Orissa region of India. Another group that split away was that of the Indonesians. Some people of the Orissa region, must have been either displaced or voluntarily migrated to the Indonesian region at about 14,000 BP. Eventually, civilization came to exist at more than three places about two to three millennia before the 11,500 BP flood. And the Sri Lankan kingdom grew quite mighty and dominated the world at that point of time.
Apart from these main actors on the stage, there were other small tribes like that of the Yakshas, Kinneras, Kimpurushas, Nagas, and other tribes at various places on the Indian subcontinent, and possibly a large number of small tribes existed at different places in Europe and Asia, though these people might not have been sufficiently advanced to be counted among the main actors; nor were they properly civilized. There were a lot of such small tribes scattered across the continents.
At various places, religion develops. Northern Indians had worship of Brahman, Persia had Zoroastrianism, Sri Lankans had Purushism, Oriyans had sun worship, and Indonesians were animists. Egypt had some cults of its own. Apart from these, other small tribes had their own religions, like Nagas being snake worshippers.
Then comes the colossal destruction and catastrophe of 11,500 BP, which annihilates a large part of the civilization across the continents, causing large-scale displacement. Sri Lankans, sun worshippers, and other small tribes, including Yakshas and Nagas, then come and converge on the Saptha Sindhu region with the Devas. A single language of Sanskrit and a single religion of Vaishnavism take shape here, adopted by all groups that moved in. Purushism of the Sri Lankans is the basis for this religion, with others identifying and integrating their gods into Purusha. Indonesians, destroyed and displaced by a Volcano, move in and settle in the northeast of India, eventually advancing their stone worship into Saivism after some sort of integration with the Vedic religion. The bygone era, which represented a different socio-economic reality, was called Satya Yuga. And the current epoch came to be called Treta Yuga. Some of the Indonesians also get scattered to the Yellow River region of China and to other far-off places of eastern Asia. Chinese civilization started taking some shape.
The survivors of Sri Lanka and their kings, despite bearing the largest brunt of fury of nature, are still quite powerful, and they start troubling and harassing the Indian civilization for more than a millennium. Eventually, a great king called Ram comes about and becomes the savior of the Indian civilization by ridding them of this menace.
Civilization progresses in this manner until another great flood rocks it, the catastrophic flood of 8000 BP. It once again leads to large-scale migration from all over the world onto the Indian subcontinent. A large number of tribes, including Yadavas, Dravidians, and others descend onto the Saptha Sindhu region. It takes on a truly cosmopolitan atmosphere in India with several languages and races existing at the same time. Indonesians migrate from the northeast to the Gujarat region and, on their integration with Dravidians, Saivism gets adopted in Gujarat. Because of the complete change in socioeconomic, religious, and linguistic climate, this era then comes to be called Dwapar Yuga.
Some of these tribes that moved in to inhabit India grow in strength, become quite powerful, and rule most of the country. A fight erupts among them, culminating in one of the greatest wars of history, the Mahabharat. Krishna is born into the Yadava households and is the key player of the war and the events around this time. He is believed to be God himself who walked on earth. He dies accidentally and is believed to have risen from the dead on the seventh day after being pinned to a tree for six days.
A few years after Krishna’s death, another flood displaces the civilization along the west coast of India; Yadavas have their Dwarka destroyed. The flood is followed by a great famine of three centuries, the Great Drought of 2200 BC, completely destroying the fabric of the civilization and causing large-scale displacement. Yadavas move out of India and settle in Israel under a derived name of Jews. They give up idol worship and settle there in the worship of Krishna as Yahweh. Under instructions from Moses, any references to places in India are removed and replaced from their scriptures, as Moses did not want Jews to trace their roots back to India. However, their entire theology, including their covenant with God, can be easily traced back to Krishna. Likewise, other inhabitants of the Saptha Sindhu region move out and settle in distant parts of Europe and Asia. These migrators from Saptha Sindhu are joined by other migrators from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, and other regions, who are also displaced by the drought, and a new gigantic civilization springs up in Europe. The migrators from Saptha Sindhu region take their religion with them. The legends of Krishna go in different forms and shapes, leading to several cults of Christ like saviors across the world, ultimately being adopted into Christianity—the names and the entire theology being that of Krishna, including that of the Purusha-Nara-Narayana Trinity, while the actual personality is that of some other enlightened soul. Dravidians in India move downwards from Gujarat toward Tamilnadu. The despondency of the drought makes people call the new era as Kali Yuga – the age of suffering.
Meanwhile, in India, the despondency of the Great Drought leads to skepticism regarding the presence of God – this leads to extinction of Vaishnavism in India and the subsequent rise of two atheistic cults of Buddhism and Jainism under the guidance of two influential thinkers: Buddha and Mahavira. They rise and flourish. However, as the memories of drought recede into the distant past, the needs of theism soon catch up with the people, who then convert back into Vedic religion under the guidance of a great philosopher called Sankara. Under the influence of Sankara, Saivism spreads from Bengal, Gujarat, and Tamilnadu to the rest of India and becomes the main religion of India between 500 BC–900 AD. Buddhism, however, survives and flourishes in Tibet, Sri Lanka, China, and elsewhere. Vaishnavism makes a comeback in India after 900 AD under the influence of philosophers like Ramanuja and Madhva.

- Prithvi Raj
- Born into a deeply devout family, Prithviraj Rathod was born and brought up in theology. He traveled widely in India and observed huge differences between the religious cultures of different regions, which led to a realization in him that India is probably a melting pot of a large number of races, and not a mixture of two races as told by present-day historians. He felt that India as well as other cultures faced several to and fro migrations throughout their histories. This book is a product of two and a half decades of research in religious studies, in which he traces IndoEuropean as well as World history to an ancient culture that originated in the Arctic region 19,000 Years ago.
