9. THE RESUME We have treated the much controversial subject of the Aryan Cradle-land in an organic critical method. The comparative study of all the relevant sciences point to one and the same conclusion. We may, now, resume the conclusions of our enquiry :--
1. The Aryan does not signify either a race, language or culture. It is a Way.
2. All the theories regarding Aryan Cradle-land, so far, have been one sided. None comprehends all the relevant evidences thrown open by various sciences.
3. Sanskrit is the youngest and the most robust among the daughters of the original Aryan Language, now lost to humanity, Word Arya' is first found in Hurri dialect of the Hittite language which is archaic The Lithuanian is the most archaic language which has kept closest to the basic idiom reconstructed by comparative philology.
4. The existence of Aryan languages in Iran, Asia Minor, Greece and Lithuania during the beginning and middle of Second millennium B.C. point north to the Caspian Sea for their common origin.
5. The Aryan Greyware, painted or plain, is found in Bhārata, North Iran, Asia Minor, Crete, Greek Mainland, Ukraine and South Russia. The graves of military warriors, bones of the horses and weapons of War are also found at these archaeological sites. The direction of these migrations is from North to South, not from East to West or South to North,
