    One God or many gods

    Yes, I think the first question to ask is, in what way was the IVC society different to the Sumerian and Egyptian societies at the same time? Although we are still learning, from what we know the IVC appeared to champion equality, respect, and democracy. The buildings were open to the public...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Returning to Meluhha மெலுக்கு melukku n. மெலுக்குவை. 1.Exquisiteness; tenderness; மென்மை. Returning to the word or name used by Sumerians to describe the Indus Valley Civilization, I considered how such a word would be used in context. One word for describing the source of a good...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Just to elaborate further on Dilmun, I believe this is potentially how it would have been referred to mṉṉu பெறுசதில்மன்னுயிர் Three letters at the beginning and end, leaving "Tilmun" or "Thilmun" in the middle.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    If I am understanding the question correctly, then yes I agree with what this poster has concluded. In practical terms, the Tamil language as it is spoken and used in society is filled with Sanskrit influence, starting with 4 Sanskritized letters added to the alphabet. The vocabulary contains...

    One God or many gods

    There is only one potential Ionian/Matriarchal society and that is the Indus Valley Civilization in my opinion. I do not know of any other society in history that I would describe as matriarchal, except for the Tamil culture (to a degree).

    The Indo-Aryan: Did they ever enter the Indian subcontinent from the outside? Or did these people develop indigenously in the Greater Panjab?

    Time is always the same, but different areas of the earth and their populations would have been going through different developments.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Hi @River Sea The video I posted in comment #64 about the Indus Valley Civilization describes a society that does not appear to be partriarchal/Dorian type. I think the IVC potentially branched off from the Sumerian civilization (like the Cain story in the Hebrew scriptures), to start their...

    Mansplaining the Metaphysics of Masculinity.

    I quite enjoyed reading this John. For the record, you mentioned feminine once, spirit and condescending three times each, mansplaining five times, invisible/ity seven times, masculinity 14 times, and humanity also once. It definitely has a vibe.

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    I can only make guesses, I revised dividing the word to instead look at the whole word மெலுக்கு melukku n. மெலுக்குவை. 1.Exquisiteness; tenderness; மென்மை. If not describing the place where the fine goods were coming from, it could also be describing their pacifist society. Magan in...

    You are correct, I was mistaken. Violence even in words is violence. However the past is the past, I cannot commit violence today by talking about history. I am the product of both histories, male and female, Aryan and Dravidian. I do not shun one to shine the other, but I use both my eyes...

    No need to apologise @River Sea you raise an interesting topic. What we know from the skeletal remains is that they experienced trauma, and were buried isolated from others. If indeed contagious diseases were present, then they could have been euthanised by causing instant death. The fact...

    As we learn about Mother Tamil and matriarchal society, patriarchal society

    Your same source provides a Tamil translation using melu to mean raised and akam meaning place from one source. I divide it as mel, then ur, then aka, meaning from peoples and not a specific place. I give my opinions and I provide reasoning for a history that is yet to be understood. Truth...

    Not according to Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malwa_(Punjab) The name comes from the Malavas tribe, present during Alexander the Great’s time. They are said to have migrated to Madhya Pradesh after the invasion. There is also too much phonetic divergence from mel to mal, in...

    Adding another recent video describing the Indus Valley civilisation. The main point I ascertain are the following, (1) Peaceful, egalitarian society that valued equality. It appears the people developed inter-cropping, which is growing different types of plants at the same time. They also...
