 Re: Latein und Römisch - Indien
An Indic element was a part of the Mitanni who, by the 15th century BCE, had expanded their power from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Zagros mountains.
The Vedanga Jyotisha (VJ) of Lagadha (1300 BCE) is one of the subsidiary Vedic texts, so its contents must be considered to be roughly coeval with the Brahmanas and other post-Vedic texts although the VJ text that has come down to us is definitely of a later period.
The presence of the Indic element in the Near East in the second millennium BCE should then be seen as an intrusion from India or an intrusion by a group that had been culturally Indianized.

 The Henna Page - The History of Henna
There is very persuasive evidence that henna was used by the Neolithic people in Catal Huyuk, in the 7th millenium BCE to ornament their hands in connection with their fertility goddess.
The religion these people practiced was the predecessor to the religions of all the people in the ancient Middle East, and henna seems to have been used by all of these people as part of their adornment and belief system.
There are many statuettes from Crete and Mycenae from the period 1700 BCE to 900 BCE that show goddesses synchronous with Anath, with raised hands that appear to be ornamented with henna.

His West Semitic origins are early, his worship being attested in Mari by 2500 BCE, at Ebla by 2300 BCE and clearly continuing in Ugarit in the Late Bronze Age, c.1300 BCE.
Hammurabi of Babylon, for example, claimed the power of "his creator" Dagan as the source of his ability to conquer the city of Mari, whilst the contemporaneous Assyrian ruler Šamši-Adad I took pride in his worship of Dagan by erecting a temple to the god at Terqa (E.KISIGA, "House of Funerary Offerings").

 The Jews' legacy: God has a plan for us   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Historians now think the entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land of Canaan, around 1200 BCE, was due not to a co-ordinated military campaign, but rather to several waves of migration by different Hebrew tribes.
Yet Thucydides said he was writing of the events of his day, "not as they happened, but as they ought to have happened." And Herodotus was clearly writing of the past only as the set of myths that informed the spirit of any particular people, with little concern for their objective truth.
Even when the Jews were defeated by the Philistines circa 1050 BCE, and exiled by the Babylonians between 597 and 538 BCE, they believed it was all part of God's plan.
