and docile national life of the Lithuanian people but even if we concede the migration of the Aryan language from Sapta-Sindhu, it could travel to Lithuania either via Iran and central Russia or Via Asia minor and Greece. It must have started its migration not earlier than the middle of Third Millennium B. C. from its original home. During the Sargonid and Hittite age of this region; we witness great politic and military upheavals. This is the age of brave, adventurous and progressive people in West Asia. We must have witnessed in this region a progressive, flourishing and living Aryan language. But that is not a fact. We find no trace of any Aryan language, in Mesopotamia in this age. The Kassitaryan lonely word 'Surias' in the sense of sun, is found in the Eighteenth century B. C. That is a very poor piece of evidence to establish even the existence of an Aryan language even in the Eighteenth century B. C. But, paradoxically enough, we find Hittitāryans' language in Anatolia, richer than the Kassitāryans' language, Circa 2000 B. C. Though the Aryans, the people of the mountains, politically subjugated Mesopotamia; Mesopotamia, despite its political decadence, celebrates the triumph of its culture. This implies that the Aryans in Mesopotamia accepted the culture including language of their subjects during this period. These virile Aryans politically subjugating but culturally being subjugated could not be a fit vehicle for propagating their mother Aryan language to Asia Minor and Central Russia.
Sanskrit and Greek languages are the co-mothers of the sciences of comparative philology and comparative mythology. The attested extant Greek literature may not be dated later than Eighth
Century B. C. The Greek language which belongs to the group of the Aryan languages, exhibits clear
