Summary: A significant Vedic research based on astronomical references, carried out over a century ago, which suggests that the astronomical method of research is certainly superior to the linguistic method in as much as it supplies us with certain definite and indisputed facts which can be made the nuclei of the diferent periods of history. We can then use the literary or linguistic method to supplement these results. A non-technical book on a fascinating subject related to India's heritage and its influence on world history. The obscure and unintelligible passages in the Rigveda disclose the polar attributes of the Vedic deities or has traces of an ancient arctic calender, while the Iranian Avesta expressly tells us that the happy land of Airyana Vaijo, or the Aryan Paradise, was located in a region where the sun shone but once a year, and that it was destroyed by the invasion of snow and ice, which rendered its climate inclement and necessitated a migration southward
