Harappans, Aryans, and the BMAC: Indian Origins

What is the cultural legacy of the Indus Valley / Harappan Civilization? How much continuity was there between the IVC and Vedic India? What is the truth of the much-discussed and controversial "Aryan Migration?" And what about those folks in the mountains on the way to India, known as the Oxus Civilization or BMAC (Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex)? All this and more, all extensively researched (see the list of links below). This video will actually kicks of a series on ancient Indian mythology which will cover the Harappan seals and the Vedic cosmic world tree, known as Ashvattha, Pipal, or Bhodi tree.
