Synopsis This book presents a study of the historic past with investigations directed with a particular object to bring to light the history of races with special reference to their movements and settlements in regions in ancient times, hither to, looked upon as a dark age. Although history of individual civilizations, most of which per chance have developed on the tropic of cancer just as the Sumerian, the Egyptian, the Sindhu-Sarasvati (Harappan), is well known, still the interlink between these, in respect of philosophical ideologies, social and religious customs and technical or commercial know-how is seldom reviewed, and it is not exactly known how theoretical ideas and know-how of crafts have been actually exported from one civilization to the other. This study is extremely necessary to trace the ultimate source of human civilization what may be called the cradle of world civilization. As for the movement of races in the pre-historic past is concerned, we are all acquainted with a theoretical premise of the dispersion of an Aryan race which is still a matter of great controversy. This race is said to have spoken a language designated as Centum from which all dialects German, Celtic Greek, Latin, Iranian, Sanskrit etc. arose in due course of time on migrations. The present work is thus an attempt to search for missing link of world civilization dealing with Indo-Aryan colonization of Greece, Middle-East Egypt, Persia and Euro-Asian complex specially the Scandinavian countries.
