Indo-European migrations New preprint claims that the Rigveda and Mittani/Hurrian song (hymn to Nikkal) have the same cadence and are from the same musical foundation

What do you guys think?

Paper: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202506.1669/v2

Not an expert but this seems like a stretch?

Also the author doesn’t seem to know that the Mitanni come from the steppe and not India, making him seem less credible.

The paper also in general doesn’t come off as professional.

The indo aryan pantheon is from the steppe, one branch went into India and became the Vedic language. Another went to Syria and became the Mitanni branch. Both branches will have overlapping words

Not a single shred of evidence to say that indo-Aryan pantheon is from steppe.

It’s amazing how people with the least amount of knowledge about a topic are the most confident in their wrong opinions lol
