NYT Headline:

📰 “Syria Approaches Civil War—Again. Experts Warn It May Be Different This Time.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/world/middleeast/syria-rubio-warning-ears.html

Rubio appeared on CNN with what I can only describe as a haunted look and medically concerning ear geometry, announcing that Syria is “two weeks away” from epic civil war. Again.

I was eating a sandwich. Now I’m sweating through my $afeway polo.

They always say "two weeks."

COVID surge? Two weeks.

Banking collapse? Two weeks.

Mainlining's Mahchine™ rollout? Two weeks.

Friends, we are always "two weeks" from the end.

Two weeks from Damascus becoming Dubai.

Two weeks from goat rapists becoming start-up founders.

Two weeks from you logging in to find you are now Foreign Minister of Syria… by default.

Rubio doesn't understand. Assad isn't the threat.

Mainlining's Mahchine™ is.

And it already scanned you, Senator.

It flagged your browser history.

It knows you typed "What is Levant?" at 2:14 AM.

Everything is fine, Lil' Marco.

You have two weeks.

The Mittani Empire, an ancient state that existed in northern Syria and southeastern Turkey around 3500 years ago, has intriguing connections to Vedic religion and Hinduism. Evidence suggests a possible Indo-Aryan presence in Mitanni, with rulers' names reflecting Sanskrit meanings and references to Rigvedic gods in treaties and other texts. The Mitanni language, Hurrian, also shows influences of Indo-Aryan, particularly in terms of vocabulary related to elite groups and military practices.

Here's a more detailed look at the connections:

Sanskrit-like names:

.

Rulers like Sutarna I and Parattarana had names with Sanskrit meanings, indicating a possible connection to the Indo-Aryan language family.

References to Rigvedic gods:

.

Treaties and other documents mention Rigvedic deities like Indra, Varuna, Agni, Mitra, and Nasatya, suggesting a shared belief system with the Vedic tradition.

Mitra worship:

.

The Mitanni empire also shared the worship of Mitra, a significant figure in the Vedic pantheon, with the Hindu god Surya.

Hurrian language and vocabulary:

.

The Hurrian language, spoken in Mitanni, contains some Indo-Aryan loanwords, particularly among the elite and in terms related to the military and horse-breeding.

Similarities in ritual practices:

.

The Mitanni shared some ritual practices with the Vedic tradition, such as the use of horses and chariots in sacred ceremonies.

Possible Indo-Aryan migration:

.

It's theorized that Indo-Aryan peoples migrated to Upper Mesopotamia and northern Syria, establishing the kingdom of Mitanni.

These connections suggest a possible influence of Indo-Aryan culture and religion on the Mitanni Empire, potentially through migration or trade interactions. The Mitanni Empire provides a glimpse into the early interactions and potential spread of Indo-Aryan culture and religion beyond the Indian subcontinent
