New Interpretations on Indus Valley Civilisation
Extracts from the book
Geb and Nut are Egyptian gods of earth and sky respectively. Generally the sky gods are male principle and earth is the mother god. But the roles are reversed here and it shows that this myth is more ancient than any other myth which depicts sky god as male principle. (Earliest societies were matriarchal). The relevance of this myth here is that the “Kalan” is the earliest sky god of India (Indus People) and he takes a hovering position over mother earth as depicted in the picture. The calibration of astronomical position of star constellations were made by depicting various body parts of Kalan to that of constellation as shown in the figure of Kalan. Further details are under the heading jyotish wheel, under the chapter “Astronomy and calendar”.
Kalan is variously described as Yama or Rudra or Shiva. In fact all the three are manifestations of the same principle of death and overseer of moral standards. He was overseer of moral principles because he could see from his heavenly position all the events, which were happening on this earth. Pictures given below show the dignified form as well as the original form of Kalan. The dignified from of Kalan model is drawn after the depiction in the book “myths and legends”. (David Bellingham, 1996, p. 147) The original picture of Kalan could be seen in the seal depiction figure no.6.12, page no.119, of Possehl’s book. (L.Possehl, 2003). One important principle to be learnt here is that the old replaced gods are depicted as devil by the new usurpers. This second depiction of Kalan gives a feeling that it is drawn by the new generation of priests, who had replaced him with a new god (most probably proto-Shiva); hence Kalan has been depicted as devil, even though he was an important venerated god of earlier group.
