About 500BCE, the Aryans began to
compose a body of texts called Vedas based on
their traditional stories. Veda is a Sanskrit
word that means knowledge. The Rig Veda is a
collection of more than 1000 poems that
survives to this day. The influence of these
stories of the Aryan people on the subcontinent
is why historians label the period of Indian
history lasting from about 1500BCE to 322BCE
as the Verdict Age. SORRY IT'S SO LONG
