Jives with supposition that the IndusHarappan peoples stretched far north into the mountains from the Bay of Cambay / Rann of Kutch and the Indus Delta area.

"PESHAWAR: Gandi Umar Khan, around 55 kilometres west of Dera Ismail Khan"

Is that the same Gandi who works at the QuickeeMart in St. Louis?

This discovery is in the Gulf Of Kutch.

The Indus Valley Civilisation At Lothal

[swarthyguy]

Those two gulfs have changed quite a bit in recent times, past few hundred years even. Old British maps show the gulfs changing their shape, depth and reach into the land as the ocean ebbed and flowed. The soil is soft, and the area could've been where the ancient Saraswate river is alleged to have emptied into the ocean. Some reports said an ancient riverbed had been found recently.

That area is waiting for some city to rise up out of the ooze. I hope.

bttt

I am definitly saving up for a trip there!

[BenLurkin]

It is intriguing how complex (and in some ways advanced)the earliest civilizations were.

"Some reports said an ancient riverbed had been found recently."

I'm pretty sure I read that too. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything on it though.

“dating back to 7,000 years”

That would put Gandi Umar Khan roughly between Red-haired Goddess (7000 years ago) and Vinca (between 4500 and 3500 BC) time.

Any idea is Harappan mother-goddess similar to Red-haired Goddess from Donja Branjevina?

I’d like to be added to ping list. Thanks.

I'm presently re-reading the book The Tarim Mummies and there was some association between these folks and those in northern India-Pakistan. These folks may have taken Buddhism from India to China.

The Tarim Mummies

BTW, excellent book.

"Any idea is Harappan mother-goddess similar to Red-haired Goddess from Donja Branjevina? "

May be related to the red-headed mummies in post #19...thousands of years apart though.

Consider yourself added. If you ever change your mind, or I get you on the wrong list, just let me know.

Great! More mud huts. The Mudmen are rampant and Flash Gordon is no where in sight.
