Key Notes

Speculative historical argument stated on 2024-12-03.

diagnosis

Jiang says the common Indian religious ideas of oneness and false reality must come from the IVC because those religions are localized to India and appeal to a fundamental Indian nostalgia.

General cross-cultural model stated on 2024-12-03.

model

Long-run anthropology model for 10,000-20,000 years ago.

model

Jiang says animism is the distant past behind this nostalgia: hunter-gatherers saw themselves as the same as trees and animals, part of Mother Nature and the life cycle, inhabiting both material and spiritual realities.

Jiang's speculative interpretation dated 2024-11-26.

model

Jiang interprets divine worship in the pyramid as a reversal of the Big Bang: scattered reality is brought into one ritual space, producing oneness, wholeness, moral cleansing, and unity through Pharaoh faith.
