<b>There are no certain other names for the Indus Valley civilization that I know of. This is because whatever people lived there had no known written language. In fact, language did not arrive in India until the Indo-Aryan “Hindoos” (as the ancients called them) arrived, bringing Sanskrit, invading through mountain passes into northern India from Central Asia. There is speculation that the ancient Sumerians traded with the Indus Valley civilization, and called it “Meluhha” (perhaps the Sumerian name for what we call “MOHENJO-Daru”, a city of this Indus Valley civilization), but no one knows for sure. I believe that the Sumerians who founded the Mesopotamian civilization, and very first civilization, were black. They called themselves the “coffee bean eyed people” and the “dark people”, and remnants of a black race can be found in old Elam in SW Iran. I also believe that they were, somewhat distantly, related to the founders of the Indus Valley civilization, who were also black. (The reasons would bore you, but basically from studying ancient maps of tribes with Biblically sounding names from Genesis 10.) They are the ones now called Dravidians in India. In this context, the voyages of Sinbad the Sailor in the book “Arabian Nights” speaks of voyages to, and trade with, India. However, the whole book is considered fanciful and embellished by its author (although, I don’t understand how it can be both…). The book is set in Muslim times (after 850 AD, or so) as Allah is invoked a lot. But the whole thing is allegedly a bunch of tales told to a Persian king, which would be long before Islam, and a number of cultural practices and contexts definitely seem pre-Muslim. I think the stories may be vaguely reflective of a time before the Persian Empire simply because the tales speak of a “Heroic Age”. More often than not, a “Heroic Age”speaks of a people that preceded the current peoples from whom the tales precede. Examples of this are; the Greeks and their “mythology”, including Homer’s “Iliad” and “Odyssey”, the Romans, with tales of Romulus and Remus and the kingdom of Alba Longa, supposedly founded by Aeneas, an alleged survivor of Homer’s Troy (or “Iliad”). Great Britain has such tales in the Arthurian Legends from the Celtic Welsh. Some scant elements of these tales have proven to be true. The United States has a similar phenomena with the Native Americans- tales of the hero Hiawatha, or even Pocahontas (whose deed were exaggerated in an animated movie- kind of showing how real history can be mythologized over time). Anyway, that’s probably what the “Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor” are- though it’s hard to say if any of it dates back to the Indus Valley civilization, or if any of it is even true… I looked for some kind of historical analysis of Sinbad beyond summary dismissals of any historicity to Sinbad, but yet I detected some cultural practices that were accurately pre-Persian. Personally, I would like to see an ancient Indian Ocean historical expert, if there are any, go through the voyages of Sinbad with a fine toothed comb. But that person could not be me- I am more an expert on the Near East, because of my Biblical interests. My main interest in India is the “Indian King List”, and other named Indian kings, and my attempt to link it to peoples who are historically linked to the Bible (mainly, Elam, Media and Persia- and maybe thence to kings of China) to prove Biblical Chronology is accurate. Hope this helps.
