than 1900 B. C.12 Similar pottery is found at Anau in Russian Turkistan which is definitely earlier than the Tripolje pattern. Brandenstein is correct in holding Tripolje as second Aryan home in Europe after partition of the undivided Aryan collective.
Asiāryans bifurcated from their South Russian home. One branch went to Anatolia North of Caspian Sea and crossing over the Caucasus mountains. The second branch crossed the Pamir range to Iran. A part of these people went to the West known in history as Hurrians whose one branch was that of Mittanis. The Anatolian Hittites and the Mittanis know Indra whom the Europāryans do not know. Indra is not a Greek leader like Zeus or Ouranos. This fact alone clearly proves that the personality of Indra was evolved after the Europaryans had separated from the undivided Aryan stock. Hittites could reach Anatolia only through the North Caspian route. The original home, naturally, then, shall be still to the north of Caspian and Aral Seas. Tripolje culture on the Dnieper basin must place this region still northern-most to avoid the contacts of the Europāryans and the Hittitāryans. If we extend the area arrived at by Brandenstein eastwards and northwards south of the Ural mountains; we get the original Aryan cradle-land. This accords well with the conclusion arrived at by the linguistic tests.
