I shall. Thank you. I need convincing before I revise the way I present
Sanskrit-speaking cultures to my classes from 1500 BCE back to 4300 BCE.
The rest of your post is welcome, too, though most of the story and details
(though without the helpful sanskrit quotations) can be found in George G.
Joseph's _The Crest of the Peacock_ (which I recommend to anyone in sight at
the drop of a trapezoid).
