Expert horse riders that herded their cattle and sheep 2. Cattle was wealth 3. Brought religious beliefs, new farming techniques, new social structure (hierarchy), and a new language

5 Sum it Up Mixed with people from India Aryans were Polytheistic Lived in tribes Tribes led by raja or prince Early religion was called Brahmanism, but the religion would change because they would question how the world began and how it works. Had no written language Brahmans/priests developed a written language called Sanskrit. Brahmans wrote down their sacred stories of their gods into The Vedas Gave people a way to record sales, trade, land ownership, poems, hymns, stories, prayers

6 Brahmanism Changes into Hinduism Harappans, meanwhile, learned ancient Aryan songs about how the world works. These songs, believed to be holy, were passed down by oral tradition. Around 600 B.C. the sacred songs were finally collected. The books containing them were called the Vedas, or Books of Knowledge. The Vedas The Vedas were the first building blocks of Hinduism. They told Hindus how they should live, and explained life. The oldest Veda has more than 1,000 hymns (songs). It says that the world is run by many gods and goddesses. Which Hindu goddess does the above hymn praise? What are her twinkling eyes? Song from the Rig Veda, first written down in about 1000 B.C. Goddess Night, with all her twinkling eyes, To different points in splendor she comes. Immortal, she broods over the high and low; The Goddess, with her faze, lightens the dark. In her trail, her sister Dawn follows, And with her the darkness vanishes The villagers, all that files and walks Are closed in their homes. Even vultures ignore their prey. O Night, fence off the wolf and its mate; Fence off the thief. Be easy for us to pass. Bright, she has come near me, the darkness subdued With light s promise. Dawn, cancel darkness.

7 Aryans brought this new system of social hierarchy India is divided into four social classes called varnas or castes People were members of the caste into which they were born Brahmins-priests Kshatriyas-warriors Vaisyas-commoners Sudra-manual workers
