This is the understatement of the year. There is ample doubt and a few
symbols beingread backwards with meaning of later times does not rescue
the redo of history the radicals so desperately want.

The vedic age does not flow from the complex culture discussed. It was
in considerable decline by the time the vedic age began, some
speculating that the invasions from the nw actually speeding that
decline because of the superior military technology the nomads had.

AFAIK the standard theory says that the decline was long over and the
culture gone before the Vedic age, but maybe this is an outdated view.

Standard theories be damned. One will continue to peddle speculative AIT nonsense because it jibes with one's prejudice and one's hatred for any and all things Indian (read Hindu).

Now to sit back and "enjoy" a repeat set of posts on "Why I am not a/an XYZ" (XYZ = Christian, Hindu, Rastafarian, Raelian, blah, blah, ... assorted "labels") :-)
