The 7 rivers civilization - Sapta Sindhu : the Rig Veda civilization

The Seven Rivers Civilization, better known as the Indus Civilization, took place between the Ganges and the Indus Rivers, between 1900 BCE and 4000 BCE. It is characterized by its pacifism and its absence of palaces, temples, slavery, armies, and excessive inequality.
At the same time and in the same place, the Rig Veda, the oldest book of humanity, was composed.
The author, by deciphering its metaphors, will introduce you to a civilization completely different from those we know.

About the author

Hervé Le Bévillon n'a pas suivi le cursus classique des sanskritistes et n'a donc pas été influencé par eux. Entre 1967 et 1974, il est parti sur la route, sans argent, en Europe, mais surtout en Afrique et en Inde.
Cinquante ans après, il a publié une traduction du Rig Veda qui tranche avec celles qui ont été faites jusque-là.
Il vit retiré en Centre Bretagne, heureux.
