Indian or Indo-Iranian groups who worshiped the Vedic deities were found in and to the north of Syria in the middle of the second millennium B.C. Prof. S.A. Cook writes “In what may roughly be called the 'Mosaic' age, viz, that illustrated by the Amarna letters and the “Hittite” tables from Boghaz-Keui, Palestine was exposed to Iranian (Old Persia) or Indo-European Persian Empire…. In the Mosaic Age, Varun, the remarkable ethical God of ancient India, was known to North Syria.” In the 14th century BC, there appeared in North East Syria, a people called Mittani, whose kings had Indo-Iranian names and whose gods were very similar to the Aryan gods – Indara (Indra), Uruvna (Varun), Mitira and Nasatiya. Some other chiefs in Syria and Palestine also had Indo-Iranian names.

The presence of Aryan Sumerian empire can be found in Iraq, Egypt, Oman, Port land of Magan i.e. a name for the Sinai Peninsula located at east of Suez, Syria, Arabian Sea, Asia Minor, Palestine, Persia, Indus, Baluchistan and Makran, Red Sea, Indus, etc.

All the above countries names also show Aryan lands.
