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.
