Sanskrit in Mesopotamia
In north-west Mesopotamia Sanskrit inscriptions were found containing references of the names of the local princes of that time. The names of princes which bear on it are like Artatama, Tusratta, Suttarna which seems unmistakably Aryan in form. For five hundred years a mountain tribe the Kassites - from the neighborhood of Media ruled over the whole of Babylonia and amongst these also the names of the princes and deities seem Aryan. Names like Shurias (Sun) and Marytas seem identical with Sanskrit Surya (Sun) & Maruta (Wind God). While Simalia 'Queen of Snow Mountains' can hardly be separated by the name Himalaya & the Iranian word of snow Zima.
