   Very good, it echoed my observation that all complex cultural example the   
   globe over have far less complex levels that proceed the complex one.   
      
   It is the beginning of the first far less complex,ie. herding and simple   
   agriculture, level that has the oldest date.   
      
   The date for the indus complex cultures is still as before around 5 k or   
   so years ago.   
      
   As the article correctly says, the headline to make the complex cultures   
   seem far older is a tactic to sell papers.   
      
   The reality remains, the indus complex culture has no connection with the   
   vetic age.  The vedic nomad herders came into s. asia after the indus   
   complex cultures had come and gone.   
      
   Whatever self glory the newspaper wanted to stir up, the real history does   
   not support it.   
      
   Current s. asia has almost nothing to do with or any connection whatsoever   
   to indus complex cultures which disappeared into the mist of time.
