Those who fail to account for the interests of conspiring elites (yes people will smear you as "conspiracy theorists"), religion (overt & covert), ethnicity and energy needs, but look at things purely in economic terms tend to get things wrong. Don't be fooled by the fact they
might be widely published& advertised in MSM. It is sometimes surprising to see rich left-liberals, who live in large houses with multiple motor vehicles, overlook the fact that as of today there is no comfortable modern life without the exothermic consumption of fossil fuels.
What to say of the uses of coal tar or petroleum derivatives. Hence, it is rather notable that the Occidental confederation has made several moves that have dropped the axe on its own foot while fighting the Rus in a thinly proxied war. In WW2, Germany lost because of lack of
sufficient liquid fossil fuels -- it has captured the French supplies & had some from Romania but failed to take those under Rus or pa~nchanetra control. The 5Is had a bottomless supply from the US even if the west Asian wells fell. The Japanese conquered the archipelago supplies
which could have allowed them to keep fighting for a while. However, transporting safely against American assaults was never going to be easy -- they were too stretched for it especially after failing to extend their perimeter against the US at Midway. The German attempt to take
the Rus Caspian fields failed again from the resolute defense of it by the Rus. The Japanese geopolitical approach seems to be quite conservative after their heroic effort but subsequent rout in WW2. We are seeing noises that are not covered prominently in the 5IV press of the J
wanting to continue with negotiations with the Rus to keep the liquid FF flowing into their system. J is an industrialized modern economy; it seems that they are only going to makes noises that sound pleasing to the 5IVs regarding Rus FF but not really act on it. Its industry
leaders are pushing strongly against any such move which would end up being disastrous for the J all for ruining the Rus for the 5IVs. Not that the J are exactly thinking of opening a front to take Sakhalin or Kurils. This brings us to the real question that cannot be easily
addressed in public -- what about the shUlapuruSha-s? Are they not a highly industrialized economy too? But as in WW2 they have no liquid FF supplies. Are they going to pay the price of deindustrializing? Are the 5Is going to keep them afloat with oil as their vassal?

The sautramaNI sUkta-s of the different yajurveda-s are interesting in that they homologize the ritual (beer-fermentation included) with the putting together of a new body for indra who was poisoned. That act is like a dissection in reverse &primarily conducted by the surgeons of
the deva-s, the ashvin-s and sarasvatI. It is notable that in one of these sUkta-s the ashvin-s are termed rudravartanI:
तद् अश्विना भिषजा रुद्रवर्तनी सरस्वती वयति पेशो अन्तरम् ।
अस्थि मज्जानं मासरैः करोतरेण दधतो गवां त्वचि ॥
This occurrence of rudravartanI is independent of all
its occurrences in the RV. sarasvatI puts together (literally weaves) the muscles within and the ashvin-s, the physicians, following on Rudra's track,
place the marrow [in] the bones [as the]  the wort [from] the fermented grain with a sieve on the ox hide.
The use of this phrase

The tripurAntaka brAhmaNa of the maitrAyaNIya shruti. It has a few distinct feature: 1. Like the kaTha-s it mentions that the deva-s built 3 counter fortresses to match those of the the asura-s. 2. Unlike the kaTha-s & taittirIya-s it doesn't mention the lordship of animals being
offered to rudra in return for his act of shooting down the triple forts of the asura-s (hence the famous name for the missile pAshupata in later tradition); 3. viShNu is said to become the kulmala (socket) of the missile instead of its shaft as in the kaTha& taittirIya versions.
4. agni is called the shR^i~Nga (horn) of the arrow as in the kaTha rather than just the spike (anIka) as in the taittirIya @huntersrolinson . 5. The maitrAyaNIya-s state that the deva-s were paralyzed & suffered a defeat when the asura-s built the triple-fortress. The kaTha-s

In the RV, the great bhArgava, ushanas kAvya, is a votary of the deva-s. In the itihAsa &purANa he becomes an enemy of the gods& partisan of the asura-s. In the Iranian tradition, he is interestingly a great hero-figure with daiva affinities. The baudhAyana-shrauta-sUtra 18.46-47
& jaiminIya brAhmaNa 1.154 onwards which belong to the late vaidika tradition give an intermediate picture: There, bR^ihaspati & kAvya have respectively become the purohita-s of the deva-s & asura-s. What ever rite the deva-s did the asura-s did the same in a reverse format: this
we believe is an old memory of the emergence of the counter-religion among the Iranians with its normative inversion. Thus, they had reached a stalemate. indra was aware that a 3-headed gandharva, suryavarchas, who lived in the middle of the ocean with his wife on a golden ship

Against the grain of mainstream occidentally inspired historians of the current era who are big on downsizing gupta-s, I'd say the gupta run was unique for having a 4-5 generation excellence. In classical historical India it exceeded there was never one like it before or after.
In many ways, it was a defining event for the H nation beginning or completing the transition from:
1. the vaidika metaphor of the state to the tAntro-pauranic 1;
2. From the arthashAstric to the dharmashAstric state;
3. multifocal to temple-centric urbanism;
4. Localization to massive centralization in civil engineering & religious expertise.
This template was refined for almost 6 further centuries before the curtains came down on the H with the coming of ekarAkShasatvam

Finally, read the Bolivian Amazon civilization paper: they call it a "agrarian-based, low-density urbanism" similar to that seen in other parts of the world. 2 thoughts came to mind. In at least south east Asia/archipelago & Lanka such urbanism was brought
nature.com/articles/s4158…
from higher density non-rainforest regions rather than rising there "out of thin air" or should we say water. Did the same happen in Amazonia? Perhaps the genetic connections of the Amazonians to others coming up in some studies suggests this. The 2nd is the pyramid architecture
Pyramids are seen in North America (Mississippian pyramids) that in some ways are reminiscent of the early Mesoamerican pyramids of the Olmecs. Of course, the subsequent Mesoamerican pyramids are legendary. Then we have the South American ones in Equador (Cochasquí)& Peru (Caral)
