The biggest blow to Max Muller (1823-1900) gang and Dravidian gang came from the discovery of Sanskrit words, names of Vedic Gods and Vishnu Sahsranama name in Turkey. They were dated 1400 to 1600 BCE. Since they were archaeological objects (cuneiform tablets) no one in the world denied them; but they completely hid them. No white skinned fellow mentioned it in any Vedic article. Only Kanchi Paramacharya (1894-1994) mentioned it in his 1950 Madras lectures as soon as the German discovery appeared in News Papers. The Germans discovered it only after many famous Indologists death.
Since this blog has full details in several articles about Mitannian (Turkey-Syria) civilization, I will briefly mention it.
1.Bogazkoy inscription in Turkey
2.Kikkuli’s horse manual in Turkey
3.Tushrata Letters ( Amarna Letters) in Egypt
Vedic Gods are mentioned in the inscription in the same order as we see it in Rig Veda. Asko Parpola, top most Indus Valley researcher, has pointed it out. His book Deciphering the Indus Script is the best book on the subject ( I have almost memorised the book by reading it many times).
The reason for mentioning it here is the following word in Vishnu Sahasranama (VS)

Pratardanah- Word No.59 in VS
Shankara says, destroyer of all at the time of cosmic dissolution.

All Sanskrit names!! Pratardana is written as Parattarna 1500 BCE and Dasaratha is written as Tushratta 1358 BCE.
Sri Lankan, Malaysian and Mauritius people spell their names only like the above list. My friends in these countries write Puvana (Bhuvana), Tamayanti (Damayanti), Tasrata (Dasarathan), Rasendran (Rajendran), Kiruttinan (Krisna). Even today millions of Sanskrit names are written this way. In South East Asian countries we need dictionary to identify even Ramayana, Mahabharata characters. They distorted Hindu names beyond recognition.
In Tamil we have inscriptions staring from 3rd century BCE only. That too one line or two line inscriptions with Prakrit names
Cyliner Seal from Vedic Civilization in Iraq, Syria, Turkey etc.

Vardhamaanah- 262
one who multiplies in the form of the universe, according to Shankara.
My comments
Jain Tirtankara Vartamana Mahavira lived around 600 BCE and the most revered of all the 24 Tirtankaras. He was the 24th one. In India only two people are called Mahavir in religion- Anjaneya and Mahavira.
xxxx
Viirah – 643
One who is courageous. Tamils use it very often.
Many South Indian kings used this word in their names.
e.g, Veera Pandya Kattabomman, Veera Pandyan, Veera Vallalan and many more.
xxxx
Aadityah- 563
One who was born of Aditi in His incarnation as Vaamana, according to Shankara.
My comments
Aaditya means sun. Many Choza kings had this name. (E.g. Aditya Karikalan)
xxxx
Sumukah- 456
One with a pleasant face. Shankara gives three quotes from Vishnu Purana, Valmiki Ramayana and Svatesvatara Upanishad.
My comments
We know this is one of the 16 popular names of Lord Ganesh as well. But Manu Smritis gives us a list of bad kings and Sumuka is one of them. Other bad kings’ names are identifiable in our Puranas, but Sumuka remains a mystery till this day. Neither history books nor Puranas have this king!
So there is lot of work for Indiana Jones!
xxxxx
Still we have more words from History : Manetho, Sammata, Samitnjayah, Purandarah ,Abu , Chaturdharmstraya , Sargon , Sri Vijaya . Solar- Lunar Dynasty, Manu , Madhwaya ,Garuddwaja
