Oriental scholars believe that undivided Āryans had developed the conception of anthropomorphic, an unscientific
term indeed, deities such as Dyaus, Parjanya Doctrine of Morphomotheism and others. We also learn from these
scholars that men and devas lived together, dined together, played together and fought in battles together till the Greekāryans reached mainland Greece and the Brahmāryans reached the Frontiers of Bhārata in the middle of second millennium B. C. Both the theories cannot be correct. If men and gods lived together ; there is no sense in giving human form to the phenomena of nature. If we correctly study chronological history, we find that it was actually not so done. Phenomena of nature were not conceived in anthropomorphic forms till the Āryan institutions, by impact of the cultures and civilizations of their adversaries in Greece and Bhārata, were not celestialised.

The phenomena of nature were not given 'humanity'le in that age ; but the humanity was given the names of the phenomena of Nature. This we may call Morphomotheism. Morphomotheism may be defined as "The assumption by a human being the energy and qualities of the object of Nature, considered to have descended in him." It means .giving man the form of Nature.' Undivided Āryans believed in Morphomotheism and not in Anthropomortheism before Circa 1000 B. C.
