Mainstream academia says that Mesopotamia was the cradle of civilization. But did you know that there are some who argue that this is a false history, and that it was in South Asia that the world’s first urban society appeared? In this video, Dr. Miano takes a deep look into the ideas presented by Hindu teacher David Frawley, who argues that the world’s greatest ancient societies are cultural descendants of India. Are his claims in keeping with the facts?
