These writings are coming to mankind in the worlds most sophisticated and perfect language ( Sanskrit)
Why don't you figure out how the worlds most perfect language can exist in your so called ancient times.
Your beloved game of chess comes from the Vedas.
The Vedas are a collection of thousands of books of perfect knowledge.
So threatened were the British and the Germans, they tried to destroy every last scrap of Vedic literature.
They only destroyed 96% but the remaining percentage was the most important and we have that today.
When people reject the Vedas, they are dishonest because they have not researched the Vedas at all.
Not putting into practice the spiritual practices of the Vedas to gain higher knowledge and transcendental perception, people are no more qualified than cockroach to reject the Vedas.
No person can honestly reject the Vedas, because that would be like a person rejecting arithmetic.
No honest person could reject arithmetic.
