****GK: Just this neat beginning is enough to
disqualify Elst as a competent analyst. He "imagines".
His "imaginations" have no archaeological foundations
whatsoever. Nothing. Zero. Nada. One can't even begin
a discussion. Well, perhaps come up with an
alternative "imagination": the IE's descended from
some other galaxy, made a stopover in India(why
not?(:=))), then flew northward, descended again, and
their ships self-destructed.****
