Chapter 550: Indian Gods in India

The sun goddess Alina defeated the sun god Mithra, only temporarily making him lose the power to interfere with humans.

The Athenian Empire wanted to include the Persian Plateau and even the Central Asian steppes in its territory, and it also needed Gilgamesh to lead the Athenian army to conquer all the Aryan tribes on the Persian Plateau and the Central Asian steppes.

This was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

Time flew into January 1597 BC.

The 100,000 Athenian troops 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 50,000 Aryan knights from the conquered areas.

Just as Roy was about to hand over 50,000 Aryan knights to Gilgamesh, so that Gilgamesh had enough troops to conquer the eastern part of the Persian Plateau and enter the Central Asian steppes-

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 Vedic people who worshipped the god of thunder.

"You said you are the messenger of King Vritra?"

After hearing the messenger's purpose, Roy was full of curiosity about King Vritra whom the messenger served.

Because Roy was not unfamiliar with the name Vritra.

In the Indian mythology of another world, Vritra was a powerful demon who once defeated the king of gods Indra [Zeus].

As the myth evolved, Vishnu, one of the three gods, fought in person, and Indra defeated Vritra.

As a result, in this world, Vritra was just a human king who was hostile to the Vedic people who worshipped the god of thunder.

Vritra's messenger was an indigenous Dravidian with dark skin, short stature and slightly curly hair.

He pleaded with Roy respectfully and devoutly.

"Your Majesty, the great Emperor of Athens! The Vedic people who worship the thunder god Indra are our enemies and the enemies of the Athenian Empire. As long as you join hands with us to deal with the Vedic people, the great King Vritra is willing to marry the beautiful Princess Yueyi to you."

Princess Yueyi--

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

The so-called Asura and Rakshasa are the prototypes of the derogatory terms used by the Aryans to refer to the indigenous forces in the Indian region after they entered the Indian region.

The Asura King or Rakshasa King is the indigenous king who is hostile to the Aryans.

The prototypes of the many Asura princesses who became Indra's wives in Indian mythology are the indigenous princesses conquered by the Aryans.

When the Aryans conquered the indigenous kingdoms, they offered the indigenous princesses as sacrifices to Indra, and these indigenous princesses-Asura princesses became Indra's wives.

Looking at the dark complexion of Vritra's messenger, Roy's mind emerged with the image of a black beauty princess.

Then Roy couldn't help shaking his head and kept his distance from the daughter of Vritra whom he had never seen before.

"I already have enough wives, so I don't need the princess of King Vritra to be my wife. But I am very interested in destroying the Vedic people, so I can lead 50,000 knights to India to save you, provided that King Vritra provides us with food."

"No problem! The generous King Vritra is willing to marry his beloved Princess Yueyi, so how could he be stingy with food."

After Roy reached an agreement with Vritra's envoy, he immediately summoned 50,000 knights and led the envoy to India.

1597 BC.

February.

Roy led 50,000 troops into the Indus River Basin between the Sulaiman Mountains and the Kirtal Mountains.

Ancient India is one of the four ancient civilizations.

Some scattered early human fossils found in the Narmada River Valley indicate that humans have lived in India at least in the Middle Paleolithic Age.

About 6,000 BC, India entered the Neolithic Age.

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

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

In the history of another world, the reason for the decline of the Indus Civilization is unknown.

The world is an interconnected whole. The reason for the decline of the Indus Civilization may be found in other regions.

3000 BC.

The ancient Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder invaded the eastern part of the Anatolian Peninsula and the Mesopotamian Plain.

Some of the tribes that worshipped the ancient earth goddess migrated westward, and some migrated eastward.

The tribes that worshipped the ancient earth goddess migrated eastward, first entering the Persian Plateau.

After hundreds of years of development and population growth, the tribes that worshipped the earth goddess continued to migrate eastward into the Indian region.

This is the truth about the prosperity of the Indus Civilization in 2500 BC.

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

Some ancient statues of the Earth Goddess unearthed in India are regarded as evidence that India had maritime trade with West Asia in ancient times.

However, the real situation is that the tribes that worshipped the Earth Goddess migrated to India.

Around 2000 BC.

The Aryans who worshipped the God of Thunder entered the Persian Plateau from the Central Asian steppes.

The Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder conquered the local tribes of the Persian Plateau, eliminated many local gods including the goddess of the earth Sepandarmaz, and invaded the fertile Indus River Basin - this is why the Indus civilization weakened and was replaced by the Aryan civilization.

When Roy entered the Indus River Basin, he found that Phineus had led the Vedic people, a branch of the Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder, to conquer the northern part of the Indus Plain and localize the Aryan gods.

In the Indian region, the god of thunder Indra [Zeus] is the king of the gods, the god of fire Agni [Poseidon] is revered as the head of the gods, and the god of death Yama [Hades] becomes 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 Mithra, the Vedic people also created the sun god Surya.

As the son of Indra [Zeus], ​​the god of wine Soma [Dionysus] also served as the moon god, so the moon goddess became the dawn goddess Ushas in Indian mythology.

The most unexpected thing is that the priests of the god of thunder actually added the water god Varuna and the sun god Surya to the three-headed king of Indra [Zeus], ​​Agni [Poseidon], and Yama [Hades], creating the image of the five-headed Brahma in the five-in-one.

If you don’t have enough strength, you can make up for it with your head-

Because of the trend started by the priests of the god of thunder, the heads of Indian gods are getting more and more. Finally, after the Aryans who worshipped the god of thunder weakened, not only Vishnu, who was worshipped by the Aryans who worshipped the sun god, but also Shiva and Ganesha, who were worshipped by the indigenous people, all had ten heads to symbolize the status of the supreme god.

However, in this era, Shiva and Ganesha, as indigenous gods, were still weak gods.

Therefore, they were not absorbed by Indra like the water god Varuna, becoming the incarnation and brother of Indra's five-in-one body.

Even the Aryan god of wine Soma [Dionysus] was given the status of the moon god only because the drinking culture began to rise.
