Ancient Egyptians far superior to Ancient Indians

Rashmun wrote:There can be little doubt about the fact that the ancient Egyptians were far superior to the ancient Indians. Whereas the Egyptians constructed majestic and splendorous pyramids, the Indus Valley Indians came up with the Great Bath at Mohen jo Daro and the Granary at Harappa. Even to compare the two civilizations is laughable. 

The Vedic Aryans were of course barbarians who did not do any constructive activity other than coming up with the Vedas. Of course, they were also good at fighting. 

It is important to mention this because the Chaddis seem to imagine that ancient India was more advanced than any other contemporary civilization.

The egyptian, greek and other civilizations and all collapsed. The indian civilization hasn't. It withstood all kinds of invasions, conversions, colonizations, etc, reformed itself from time to time and is still continuing to thrive and will thrive in future too.  That is its greatness. Usme damm hai.

The Imperial House of Japan is the oldest continuing hereditary monarchy in the world.[3] In the Kojiki (finished 712) and Nihon Shoki (finished 720), it is said that Japan was founded in 660 BC by Emperor Jimmu. The current Emperor is Akihito. He acceded the Chrysanthemum Throne upon the death of his father, Emperor Shōwa (Hirohito), in 1989.

eh? We are not talking about the continuation of monachies here in this thread. We are talking about civilizations. 
Kings came and went, kingdoms rose and fell, invasions and colonizations happened, but Sanatana Dharma remained. It didn't have anything to do with the fleeting things. Satyameva Jayathe! Anything which is true will remain until the end of time. 

I know you hate to accept that, but it's ok.

Anyway, let me stop here. Good luck!!

Excuse me, "Sanatana Dharma" did not really remain Sanatana. The Hinduism of today is completely different from the Hinduism of the Rig Veda and other Vedas. To give one example, the main deities of the Vedic (including Rig Vedic) Hindus were Indra, Varuna, Agni, Mitra, Asvins, etc. Whereas the main deities of today's Hindus are Shiva (some say the prototype of Shiva is the Vedic deity Rudra, but there exists no definite connection between the two), Vishnu and his avataars (particularly Krishna and Rama), the Mother Goddess (the worship of the Mother Goddess is very ancient but this worship is generally considered a part of non-Vedic Hinduism), Ganesha, Hanuman, etc.

If you were to ask a Rig Vedic Hindu for who the most important deity is, he would name Indra. By far the maximum number of verses in the Rig Veda praising a particular deity are devoted to Indra. However, as we know, Indra is a minor, somewhat insignificant, deity to today's Hindus.

So Rig Vedic Hinduism is clearly very different from the Hinduism of today and the term "Sanatana Dharma" is a fraudulent term designed to befool the gullible.

Interesting difference between Rig Vedic Hindus and present day Hindus. Just to add to this - from whatever mythology I have read, rishis, asuras and kings used to do multi-year penance for the likes of Shiva, Vishnu, etc. So today's main deities may not have been the  most important deities of yesteryear but were worship worthy and penance worthy nonetheless.
