Count Magnus Fredrik Ferdinand Bjornstjerna (1779-1847) author of the book, The Theogony of the Hindoos with their systems of Philosophy and Cosmogony says: "The country alluded to above from which the Persians are said to have come can be no other than then the north-west part of Ancient India - Afghanistan and Kashmir - being to the east of Persia, as well as highland compared to the Persian planes."

The Chaldeans were originally migrators from India. Count Bjornstjerna writes: "The Chaldeans, the Babylonians and the inhabitants of Colchis derived their civilization from India."

The Assyrians, too were of Hindu origin. Their first king was Bali Boal or Bel. This Boal or Bali was a great King of India in ancient times. He ruled from Cambodia to Greece. Professor Maurice says: "Bali...was the puissant sovereign of a mighty empire extending over the vast continent of India."
