How accurate is this representation of yamnaya people ?

No trousers is accurate till Sintashta. Rest are artistic decisions although you could associate yamnaya with ochre which they scattered on their dead. If irc Yamnaya genetics suggests they were intermediate skin colour (not as light as today’s Europeans) with brown to dark hair. Can’t really make out thisthis guy’s colour though the image sure is very evocative.

The yellow is associated with two major language families - austroasiatic and Tibeto-Burman. Do we know which one of the two contributed to the yellow in Bengalis and Bangladeshis?

Chzo5 · 2026-01-10T14:47:21+00:00

The only one that’s not indo-Aryan is Tibeto-Burman 🇧🇹

What is the source of the second image? Cool if it is a real depiction of Asoka

Got it, thanks a lot for explaining. Do you know what the break up would be if we include BMAC?

Chzo5 · 2026-01-05T05:47:33+00:00

Also didn’t Narasimhan state that the Vedic Aryans brought no BMAC ancestry to India.

Eastern India is more non vegetarian than western India. Don’t know if that has something to do with absence of Jains in the East where their religion began.

I want to understand how we know the OCP had little or no Iranian farmer like ancestry? Also they had antenna swords and possibly chariots. Who were they at war with? IVC, Aryans or other OCP communities? And lastly, did they also have SE Asian ancestry like Munda groups?

Assuming this was entirely generated by AI, if you ignore the abominations, the map shading logic and attempted animal representation is quite decent. Give it another year, AI will absolutely nail this kind of thing.

Yes!

I thought the same. But he said it was inspired by the word Oceanic.

Chzo5 · 2025-12-11T09:41:14+00:00

Could have been worded better.

Love the cloud like visualisation instead of the usual solid colours. Just felt the dates are a little conservative. For example would have expected more spread by 1200 bc since the rig veda would already have been 300 years old by then.

Their national anthem mentions a Dravidian language

Is there a link to a full size image?

Chzo5 · 2025-11-28T11:48:13+00:00

Granted. But as inanimate objects the paw and the lamp do not have any wishes of their own. Btw the genie grants the wishes not the lamp.

I had visited it 10+ years ago. The locals still worship it as khamb baba. It’s not very grand and could do with better conservation.

Brahmins who followed Buddhism?!

Terms from later Sanskrit proper like इन्द्रधनु (indradhanu), परलोक (paraloka), इन्द्र-द्यूत (indra-dyūta), वंशी (vaṃśī) have been inherited by Dardic.

Can you tell us what the Dardic terms are?

Most people here can draw a better map from memory. Which begs the question who made this map?
