| Semiramis Queen of Assyria |
Who was Semiramis?
 |
| King Shamshi-Adad and Queen Sammu-Ramat |
King Ninus would entertain royal guests from neighboring states in his harem and offer the women of the harem. Semiramis witnessed the battered women after they had been abused by the royal visitors. Semiramis began to hate the king and his royal guests for their debauchery.
 |
| Harem of Assyrian King |
Semiramis gave birth to the first son of King Ninus, they named him Ninyas. The grateful king granted her one wish and Semiramis wished to be made the ruler of Assyria for a day. King Ninus found it amusing and placed his crown on Semiramis appointing her the ruler of Assyria for one day. Semiramis's first order as ruling queen was to have the royal guards execute King Ninus.
 |
| Murder of King Nanus |
Semiramis love-hate for powerful men did not stop with the murder of her husband. She freed the women in the harem and took revenge by killing all neighboring kings who had once abused them in the harem as guests of the king.
The scandals about her infidelities are well documented in Greek chronicles. Whenever Semiramis felt amorous, she will order handsome men to her bedroom only to be killed in the morning in order to prevent the gossip reaching to the public. She even attacked Armenia as she was infatuated by its young handsome King Ara who died fighting her army.

Preparation for the Conquest of India
 |
| Queen Semiramis at Babylon |
 |
| Indian War Elephants from Punjab |
Semiramis realized that the Indian war elephants pose a serious problem for her army who were not used to fighting against them. She delayed the attack on India by two full years During this period, she executed a master plan to counter the Indian war elephants.
Indo-Assyrian Battle on Indus River
Semiramis assemble a massive army in Bactria (Now in Afghanistan) in preparation for her attack on India. The Assyrian army included 30,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 horsemen, and 1,000 chariots. Beside these, 1,000 camels were covered with the sewn skins of black Buffalo, and each was mounted by one warrior ; these animals were intended to pass for elephants. Semiramis believed in her plan to fool the Indians with camels disguised as elephants but some of her generals were not so sure.
Stabrobates or "Satyavrata" or "Satyaparvata" the king of the Punjab, awaited for the Assyrians on the bank of the Indus river. As both camps rested overnight, the Assyrian defectors who were scared of facing the war elephants, crossed over and disclosed Semirami's plan to Stabrobates.
In the morning, Semiramis faced the Indians with camels dressed to look like elephants. Her deception could not last. Stabrobates announced it to his entire army and charged at the Assyrians with his elephant fleet. The Assyrian camels could not withstand the heat of India under the buffalo hides.

| Indian attack on Semiramis |
The elephants caused an immense slaughter; the Assyrians left their ranks, and Stabrobates pressed forward against Semiramis; his arrow wounded her arm, and as she turned away his javelin struck her on the back. She hastened to retreat, while her people were crushed and trodden down by the Indian war elephants. Indians forced Assyrians to run to safety using the man-made the bridge on the river.
Injured Semiramis crossed over river Indus and ordered the ropes to be cut which held the bridge. The force of the stream tore the beams asunder, and many Assyrians who were on the bridge were plunged in the river. The wounds of Semiramis were not serious, and Stabrobates decided to let her flee by not crossing the river in her pursuit.
Semiramis returned to Assyria but she had lost two-thirds of her army in this misadventure.

Groundbreaking research indeed. If not for this post, I would have no knowledge of this aggressive queen! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing indeed
ReplyDelete!
What a queen! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMost interesting thing I’ve read!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this most interesting research with the bibliography as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah bro i watvhed intensely and am from 10000bc mata bhaqt so lets not get into such narratives ,,
ReplyDeleteYou made a great narrative
It is a common pre historic tales
Now count my points on merit of logic and reason as much Maa Sharda allows you and me
1. All old cntries had godesses
But indian godesses are most sober dressed others look like rakhi sawant in her hottest role
2.you also shd talk about tomri devi mother of many indians who kjlled cyrus kurusaah ,, indian godess
3.suradevi anahita goddess of iran looks like saraswati
Now where is saraswati river
Saraseati is yellow for saras chinese yellow river is real saraswati and china was mafe habitable and agriculturist by brahmins ,, then locsl peasant leader of hans or local turk agriculture labour shahi hastuang atri (chi huang ti father of china)son of atri riehi from a local frndly girl of thai orihins working to open a farm in fresh cleared jungles of chinese plains ,, earlier in these plains were floods and large repyilrs and dragoons man eaterd but so the big headed tibetans who were cousins of these brahmins born from brahmin monks in tibet gone to die after son kivks out brahmnz kings etc went vanaprastha tibet also denisovans large girls married these indoz and lo - tibettans
Can't say anything on the assryian Queen and Armenian history dosent even recognise her she was a myth but no comments on that .. but on AIT it's been proved wrong many a times it's just to divide india into foolish illogical stuff... Ramayan has been proved. To be more than 7k years old , the ramsetu , the archeological findings , no swords found only chariots , arrow and bows etc etc .. so I would say this article was mainly to promote fake AIT noting else .. very cheap 🤦♂️
ReplyDeleteMr. Arya, ths article is based on historical documentations that are over 2,000 year old. Greeks started writing about Semiramis from the fifth century BC onwards. The most complete surviving account of Semiramis’ legend comes from Diodorus of Sicily, a Greek historian flourishing in the time of Julius Caesar.
DeleteYou mentioned, Ramayan has been proven. Really, I think the Ayodhya of UP is a fictitious tale. The real Ayodhya was Ajodhan near Multan in Punjab and the Saryu river was Syr darya in NW Punjab. Indian historian have spun titilating tales to corrupt the history time after time.
You also mentioned Ramsetu was 7k years old, so let me educate you ane this topic also. The manmade stone bridge indeed exists linking Srilanka with India. But it's dated much earlier than the period of Rama. Indian king Rama's ancestor Raghu did not even reach Ganga-Jamuna plains since the Aryan migration occured after 1800 BC. This dates Ramayana to around 1400 BC. Scientific study gives a radiocarbon age of the bridge to be 4,020±160 years. So linking Adam's bridge to Indian King Ram is falsification of history. Who named it Ramsetu by the way? Hindutva leaning historians?
By the way, how did you add the title of 'Arya' to your name? This title is meant for the true Kshariyas found only in Punjab. I guess you are a follower of Dayanand Saraswati who created a fake religion called 'Arya Samaj' by borrowing Hitler's aryan supermacy concept with Hinduism.
Queen Semiramis probably existed. But the Aryan Invasion Theory did not happen. There have been many fire altars, lingas, trishulas, horse bones, swastikas, etc found in Indus Valley sites.
DeleteThere is no sign of destruction in the Indus Valley sites. An invasion is a violent affair that will leave huge evidences. Since there was no evidence of an invasion, they have changed it to migration.
The Rig Veda does not mention any distant homeland from where the Aryans came to India. The 'Dasas' mentioned in the Rig Veda have 'no nose, no hands and no legs', which probably signifies another species of animals. Also the Rig Veda mentions that Dasas are found in Kambhoja, which means Persia.
The oldest evidence we have of Sanskrit is a horse training manual from the Mittani kingdom in Syria, which has words from Post Vedic Sanskrit. Some of these characters are absent in the Rig Veda, Yajur, Veda and Sama Veda. From Linguistic evidence, we can state that the Mittanis migrated to Syria in 3000 BC. So the Rig Veda must be composed before 3000 BC.
The Saraswati river is an important river for the Indus Valley Civilization, and is known to have dried up by 2000 BC, which led to the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization. The Rig Veda mentions it as a roaring river in its prime. So it would have been composed when it was in its prime. The last time Saraswati was in its prime is 7000 BC, which makes the Rig Veda 9000 years old, possibly much older.
The Rig Veda was most certainly composed in India, looking at the Geography. It also does not mention any place outside of Afghanistan or Gandhara, which has always been a part of India. Hence, it is also possible that the Vedic religion was first created in India, and spread to the rest of the world.
Also, the Rig Veda mentions horses with 34 ribs, which is native to India and whose bones are found in the Indus Valley site of Lothal. The Central Asian horses have 36 ribs. This fact proves that migrants from the Caucasus neither composed the Rig Veda, nor started the Vedic religion, nor got any significant political status in Indian society.
There is evidence that people from Caucasus slowly migrated and settled in India, due to David Reich's work. But there is also evidence that the Steppe gene R1a originated in India, and Indians are the ancestors of Caucasians.
Many people have tried to sell it to us that the Dravidian Indus Valley Civilization was not able to fight against the invading Aryans, and they fled south before the Aryans came to India. If this sort of a thing happened, then the Aryans would have destroyed the Indus Valley cities, or there would be a literary evidence. The Tamil Sangam literature, though many years after the supposed "Aryan invasion" mentions the geography of India completely, which proves that they were not isolated from the North. It also makes no mention of its defeat from an invading tribe and also does not make any mention of its escape from a city they had built thousands of miles northward. This proves that the "Dravidians" were not subjugated by the invaders. All that seems to have happened is that migrants from different parts of the world came to India, and settled down here in the last 3000 years.
Utter nonsense with these ending. "Indians made her goddess🤡" That B#tch ran for her life back to her kingdom , The Hindu God Goddess were present even before the existence of Assyrians. And That Stupid Aryan Migration/Invasion is dumb @ss theory which is proved wrong almost a decade ago.
ReplyDeleteI mean who have write your own story on this fake assariyan queen. What's her source ? Son. By the way the great civilization like India which exist even thousands of years before this so called feminist , did need a role model like her who killed men for mere no reason.
ReplyDeleteWhen did Semiramis live?

What a load of crap is this?? “For example, Indian mythology has no mention of Goddess Durga in the Vedas, Ramayana, or the Mahabharata” - why spreading lies? Have you even read any of those much less research ?
ReplyDeleteHi Neeraj, I have read Rigveda in original Sanskrit transcript as well as English translations. Rigveda was composed during the travels of Aryans to Punjab region. Hindu gods that you know today have no mention in Rigveda. Ancient Aryans worshipped these gods primarily - Indra, Varun and Rudra. Over a quarter of the 1,028 hymns of the Rigveda mention Indra, making him the most referred to deity. The trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva get mentions in scriptures much later.
DeleteThe goddess were matriarchal heads of local communities and have no mention in Rigveda. Goddess Hinglaj is worshipped in Sindh only, Vaishno Devi in Jammu, Naina Devi in Himachal, Shakumbari near Meerut, and so on. Goddess Durga has no mention in Rgveda, but there is a mention of Indrani. A hymn in Rigveda is dedicated to a quarrel between Indrani and Indra, where she becomes annoyed with Indra's intimacy with Vrishakapi—Indra's pet ape—and complains about it.
This blog is inspired by historical documentation by Greek and Assyrian chronicles. There is also a cross-reference by Alexander the Greek of him doing better than Semirami in Indian soil. Unfortunately, even he failed in Punjab, the land of Aryans, just like Semirami.
Please read the original transcripts of Rigveda, Ramayana, and Mahabharata and you will find no mention of Goddess Durga. Love to see you re-comment only after you have read these scriptures.
