So this will be the second part of the AIT/AMT myths and one of the most important facets of the distortions which were made to make this bogus theory relevant, the existence of River Saraswati!
So before beginning, let's start with what we see when we search for Saraswati River on internet.

Anyway, we have heard about how river saraswati appears a lot of times in Vedas, but how many times exactly?
Sarasvati is mentioned fifty times in the hymns of the Rig Veda alone!

It is also mentioned in Panchavimsa Brahmana, Baudhayana’s Dharmashastra, the Vasishta
Dharma Sutra and the Mahabharata. But that's a different type. Let's see what the "foren" researchers think as this is the only criteria of validity in India.

1. RD Oldham (a famous geologist) in 1893 said this in geology of India.
2. CF Oldham another compatriot of Oldham (wrote for Geological Survey of India) said this
3. In 1942, British Geologist called Aurel Stein said this

1. In 1912 Macdonell and Keith stated there may be 5 locations for Saraswati
So many hindu nationalists there in the British!!!!!

1. One of the earliest reference to River Saraswati was the one mentioned by General Sir Cunningham.

Now for the proofs of its existence.
American satellite ‘Landsat’ has through its aerial photography revealed the dried bed of River Saraswati in its satellite maps.

What is the major point in this study? Ghaggar Hakra IS not Saraswati.

1. Decline of Harappan city Dholavira happened due to drying up of Saraswati. So how could Vedas describe Saraswati as a mighty river if they came hundreds of years later after IVC civilazation?

2. The city was deserted around 1800 BCE, much earlier than what's estimated age of arrival of "Aryans".

Excerpts from the research.
1,2. The river was pretty much dried up before 1900 BC when the harappans left their cities due to it. The river had lost its glacial connection by 2500 BC (can't be called mighty without that much water).

In summary of the thread:
1. River Saraswati existed and is NOT mythological
2. It dried up way before the established dates of AIT/AMT chronology (drying up from 2500 BC) so how could Rigveda in 1500 BC say it was a mighty river and Mahabharata in 1000 BC say it is drying?

3. It destroys AIT/AMT chronology completely and thus disproves it.
