The origins of the Caucasian race I think is a fascinating topic!
Just recently I had to learn a lot about the history of India as a sidebar to another personal research project. I think there is a lot of important information to be gleaned from the Vedas as well as the Mahabharata with respect to the Aryan gods, especially as relates to the settlement of Mohenjo-daro.
Turns out there is a theory that Abraham was originally from South India. He left his homeland passing through the Caucasus area where the two dominant religions were polytheism and Zoroastrianism.
Or at least the progenitor of Zoroastrianism. There seems to be an exceptional amount of confusion as to when Zoroaster actually lived.
At any rate, Zoroastrianism was the world's first attempt at monotheism, although it suffered from severe dualistic tendencies. Followers of Zoroastrianism were referred to as those of "righteousness" while the evildoers following the false god were those of "wickedness".
The idea comes out of an attempt at explanation of Melchizedek, "King of Righteousness", whom Abraham [Remember.. Abram (Brahma) NOW Abraham ] stops and pays tribute.
The Zoroastrian influence pokes up again in the story of Jesus' birth when he was visited by the Three Magi. Magi are Zoroastrian priests. Why were they there? Interesting how there has been a partially successful attempt to reframe the Magi as "Wise Men".
The "righteousness" and "wickedness" terminology resurfaces 300 years after Jesus, in the gnostic christian belief system.
Anyway, it is just an idea that I stumbled upon. I was kind of surprised to find it, as I had not come up with it before. I'm still feeling it out to see what kind of real weight it can hold.
