Shankaracharya was an early 8th century Indian philosopher who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta.

It has roots in the oldest Upanishads.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Advaita Vedānta traces its roots to the oldest Upanishads. It relies on three textual sources called the Prasthanatrayi. It gives "a unifying interpretation of the whole body of Upanishads",[16] the Brahma Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gitā.[17][web 1] Advaita Vedānta is the oldest extant sub-school of Vedānta,[note 2] which is one of the six orthodox (āstika) Hindu philosophies (darśana). Although its roots trace back to the 1st millennium BCE, the most prominent exponent of the Advaita Vedānta is considered by tradition to be the 8th century scholar Adi Shankara.[18][19][20]
