Excerpt from A History of Civilization in Ancient India, Vol. 1: Based on Sanscrit Literature
"If I were asked," says Professor Max Muller, "what I consider the most important discovery which has been made during the Nineteenth Century with respect to the ancient history of mankind, I should answer by the following short line; -
Sanscrit, Dyaush Pitar = Greek, Zeyshathf = Latin, Jupiter = Old Norse, Tyr."
And certainly, the discoveries which have been made by European scholars within the last hundred years, with the help of the old Aryan language preserved in India, form one of the most brilliant chapters in the history of the advancement of human knowledge. It is not my intention to give a sketch of that history here; but a few facts which relate specially to Indian Antiquities may be considered interesting.
