Chapter 550 Indian Gods in India

The sun goddess Alina defeated the sun god Mithra, only to temporarily lose the power of the sun god Mithra to interfere with human beings.

If the Athenian Empire wanted to include the Persian Plateau and even the Central Asian Grasslands, it also needed Gilgamesh to conquer all the Aryan tribes in the Persian Plateau and the Central Asian Grasslands with an army of Athens.

This doesn't happen overnight.

In a blink of an eye, time entered January of 1597 BC.

The [-] Athenian army advanced at the fastest speed on the Persian plateau, and had actually ruled two-thirds of the Persian plateau.

In order to make up for the lack of troops, Roy personally recruited fifty thousand Aryan knights from the conquered areas.

Just when Roy was about to hand over [-] Aryan knights to Gilgamesh, so that Gilgamesh would have enough troops to conquer the eastern part of the Persian plateau and enter the Central Asian grassland——

An envoy from the Indian region found Roy in the Helmand River Basin, and asked Roy to join forces to deal with the Aryans and Vedas who worshiped the god of thunder.

"You say you are the envoy of King Vritu?"

After hearing the purpose of the envoy's visit, Roy was full of curiosity about King Vritto who the envoy served.

Because Roy was no stranger to the name Vritu.

In the Indian mythology of another world, Vrito was a powerful monster who even once defeated Indra [Zeus], ​​the king of the gods.

With the evolution of the myth, Vishnu, one of the three gods, even fought against himself, and Indra defeated Vrito.

As a result, in this world, Vrito turned out to be just a human king who fought against the Vedic people who worshiped the god of thunder.

Vrito's envoy was an indigenous Dravidian with darker complexion, shorter stature and curly hair.

He pleaded to Roy respectfully.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor of Athens! The Vedic people who worship Indra, the god of thunder, are our enemies and the enemy of the Athenian Empire. As long as you join us to deal with the Vedic people, the great King Vrito is willing to give the beautiful Yue I want the princess to marry you."

Princess Yueyi——

In the Indian mythology of another world, she is the daughter of King Asura and one of the concubines of Indra, the king of the gods.

The so-called Asura and Rakshasa are based on the contemptuous names given to the indigenous forces in India after the Aryans entered India.

King Ashura or King Rakshasa was the native king who was the enemy of the Aryans.

Many Asura princesses who became the wives of Indra in Indian mythology were based on indigenous princesses who were conquered by the Aryans.

When the Aryans conquered the native kingdom, they sacrificed the native princesses to Indra, and these native princesses—Princess Asura became Indra's wife.

Looking at the dark complexion of the envoy of Vritu, the image of a black beauty princess emerged in Roy's mind.

Then Roy couldn't help shaking his head, keeping a respectful distance from Vritu's daughter, whom he had never seen before.

"I have enough wives, so I don't need the princess of King Vritta to be my wife. But I am very interested in destroying the Vedic people, so I can lead [-] knights to India to save you, provided that King Vritu will provide us with food."

"No problem! The generous King Vritto is even willing to marry his beloved Princess Yueyi, so why would he be stingy with food?"

After Roy reached an agreement with Vrido's envoy, he immediately summoned [-] knights, and the envoy led the way to India.

1597 BC.

February.

Roy led an army of [-] men into the Indus Valley between the Suleiman and Kiltar mountains.

Ancient India is one of the four ancient civilizations.

Scattered early human fossils found in the Narmada Valley region suggest that at least Middle Paleolithic India has been inhabited.

After about 6000 BC, India entered the Neolithic Age.

The oldest known Indian civilization is the Indus Valley Civilization of the third millennium BC.

The Indus Valley Civilization flourished in 2500 BC and declined in 1900 BC.

The reason for the decline of the Indus civilization in the history of another world is unknown.

The world is a linked whole, and the reason for the decline of the Indus civilization may be traced from other regions.

3000 BC.

The ancient Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder invaded the eastern part of the Asia Minor peninsula and the Mesopotamian plain.

Part of the ethnic group that worshiped the ancient earth goddess migrated westward, and some migrated eastward.

The tribes worshiping the ancient goddess of the earth migrated eastward, first entering the Persian plateau.

After hundreds of years of development and population increase, the ethnic group worshiping the goddess of the earth continued to migrate eastward into the Indian region.

This is the truth about the Indus civilization flourishing in 2500 BC.

It is also the reason why there is the earth goddess Sepandalmaz in Persian mythology, and the goddess worship in Indian mythology is very similar to the goddess worship in West Asia.

Some ancient earth goddess statues unearthed in India are regarded as evidence that India had maritime trade with West Asia in ancient times.

However, the real situation is likely to be that the ethnic groups worshiping the goddess of the earth migrated to India.

Around 2000 BC.

The Aryans, who worshiped the god of thunder, entered the Persian plateau from the Central Asian steppe.

The Aryans, who worshiped the god of thunder, conquered the local tribes of the Persian plateau, wiped out many local gods, including the goddess of the earth, Saipan Dalmaz, and invaded the fertile Indus River basin. This is the decline of the Indus civilization. The reason why it was replaced by Aryan civilization.

When Roy entered the Indus Valley, he discovered that Phineus had led the Aryan branch of the worship of the god of thunder, the Vedic people, to conquer the northern part of the Indus Plain and complete the localization of the Aryan gods.

In India, the god of thunder Indra [Zeus] is the king of the gods, the god of fire Agni [Poseidon] is enshrined as the head of the gods, and the god of death Yama [Hades] is the lord of the underworld.

In order to rule the local indigenous Dravidians, the Vedic people accepted the local water god Varuna and made Varuna one of Indra's brothers.

Because of the painful lesson of being defeated by the sun god Mitra, the Vedic people also created the sun god Surya.

Soma [Dionysus], the god of wine, is the son of Indra [Zeus] and also serves as the moon god, so the moon goddess becomes Ushas, ​​the goddess of dawn in Indian mythology.

The most unexpected thing is that the priests of the God of Thunder actually added the water god to the trinity of Indra [Zeus], ​​Agni [Poseidon], and Yan Mo [Hades]. Luna and Surya, the sun god, created the image of the five-headed Brahma in five persons.

The strength is not enough to make up the brain——

Because of the wave started by the priests of the god of thunder, the heads of the Indian gods became more and more. In the end, after the Aryans worshiping the god of thunder weakened, not only the Aryans who worshiped the sun god Slaves, even the Lord Shiva and the Elephant God worshiped by the indigenous people all have ten heads to symbolize the identity of the Supreme God.

However, in this era, as the indigenous gods, Lord Shiva and Elephant God were still weak gods.

So they were not absorbed by Indra like the water god Varuna, and became the five-in-one clone and brother of Indra.

Even Soma [Dionysus], the god of wine of the Aryans, was given the elevated status of the moon god just because the drinking culture began to rise.
