Something went wrong, please try again later.
There are a lot of incorrect facts in this, while some of the beliefs are rooted in Mesolithic traditions Hinduism itself is not 10,000 years old, and the Rig Veda was written around 1,500BC not 6500BC - that would make it older than the oldest book known
