Abstract: Abstract About 4000 years ago, at the time when the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Chinese were developing their river valley civilizations after their separate fashions, a nomadic people speaking a language that has since been classified as Indo-European made a long journey from Central Asia across the Gangdisi Mountains in the Transhimalaya system and settled in what is now northern India. These people later referred to themselves as Aryans, a word derived from Sanskrit and meaning noble or landowner. Some of them also travelled westward and became the ancestors of the Iranian people and some European peoples.
