About the Book
Vedveer Arya re-evaluates the chronological foundation of global history, contending that conventional world timelines are misaligned by over six centuries and also obscure the true origins of Indo-European civilizations. Rooted in traditional records and reinforced by archaeoastronomy, archaeology, epigraphy, linguistics, and archaeogenetics, this work in two volumes reconstructs a coherent, evidence-based global chronology.
The method correlates diverse data: planetary alignments, eclipse records, dynastic lists from India, Egypt, Sumeria, and Assyria, and genetic dispersals. It validates the traditional date of the start of the Gupta dynasty of India in 334 BCE while shifting the timelines and lifetimes of Buddha, Jesus, the Achaemenids, and Alexander the Great, thus resolving anomalies and revealing 661 missing years lost in history.
The implications of this shift are profound. When the anchor points of chronology are corrected, the origins of Indo-European civilizations — linguistic, cultural, and genetic — extend far deeper into antiquity, reaching as far back as the transformative monsoon cycles in India and South Asia after the Last Glacial Maximum. The Sapta Sindhu region of northwestern India is not a peripheral recipient of an influx of people from outside but a cradle of civilization from which migration carried agriculture, astronomy, and language westward into Persia, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Europe between 13500 and 6000 BCE.
There is a tendency to dismiss the tales of ancient literary traditions as “myths.” On the contrary, Vedveer Arya treats them as repositories of historical memories to be decoded with the aid of astronomy, linguistics, and genetics. The Rigveda, Puranas, Avesta, Greek epics, and king lists are not curiosities on the fringe of scholarship but invaluable treasures revealing our vast human past.
By combining empirical rigour with a willingness to challenge entrenched orthodoxies, this work offers a panoramic and integrated account of Eurasian chronology. It is an invitation — and a challenge — to unlearn, to look again, and to consider that our shared past may be older, richer, and more interconnected than we have been led to believe.
About the Author
Vedveer Arya is a distinguished chronologist, historian, Sanskrit scholar and a senior civil servant, whose groundbreaking research has redefined the chronology of India and global history. In this two-volume work, he challenges conventional historical timelines, unearthing profound discrepancies that have shaped — and often distorted — the perceived origins and chronology of Indo-Eurasian civilizations.
Through meticulous research, Arya has exposed pivotal errors in mainstream historiography, revealing a staggering 661-year miscalculation in global chronology and a 1,381-year error in dating the Buddha’s nirvana. His revelations are not mere academic debates; they fundamentally reorient our understanding of the past.
Arya’s multidisciplinary approach is as rigorous as it is expansive. Drawing upon epigraphic records, classical literature, and traditional historical texts, he fortifies his arguments with archaeoastronomical calculations and cross-disciplinary evidence. The result is this two-volume work that not only dismantles inaccuracies entrenched in modern historical discourse but also restores the integrity of traditional world chronology.
An accomplished author, Arya has penned seminal works such as The Chronology of India: From Manu to Mahabharata and The Chronology of India: From Mahabharata to Medieval Era (two volumes), which have become essential references for scholars and truth-seekers alike.
