Greek vs Vedic memories (the lack thereof) of an Urheimat
Memory of the Urheimat, from
UPDATE ON THE ARYAN INVASION DEBATE by KOENRAAD ELST
The Vedas do not preserve any veneration, not even any mention, of an Urheimat. Compare this with the Thora (the first five books of the Bible): edited in about the 6th century BC, it gives a central place to Moses� exodus from Egypt in about 1200 BC, and of Abraham from �Ur of the Chaldees� in about 1600 BC. Similarly, in the 16th century, the Aztecs in Mexico still preserved the memory of Aztlan (probably Utah), the country from which they migrated in the 12th century. Postulating that the Vedic people kept silent about a homeland which they still vividly remembered, as the invasionists imply, is not coherent with all we know about ancient peoples, who preserved such memories for many centuries.
One problem with this argument is to consider the Greeks, and Romans who had no memory of an Urheimat.
