5000 BC - The Kurgan culture in the steppes west of the Ural Mountains (Indo-Aryans)

ssc preparation, important competetion questions, current affairs of india, latest question asked in competetion papers, The Kurgan culture in the steppes west of the Ural Mountains (Indo-Aryans) The Kurgan people were an Indo-European culture existing during the fifth, fourth, and third millennia BC; they lived in northern Europe, from Russia across Germany, and various authorities have mounted a case for them being THE proto-Indo-European culture, from which all Indo-European cultures descend. Other researchers think it likely that later-day Kurgans were the "Sea People" who laid waste to the Holy Land around 1200 BC - traveling south along the Mediterranean in ships, with their women following them in wagons along the shore. The word kurgan means barrow or grave in Slavic and Turkic; Kurgan culture is characterized by pit-graves or barrows, a particular method of burial. They are also called the Pit-grave people, or Barrow people. The earliest Kurgan sites are in t...

Moghul domes

ssc preparation, important competetion questions, current affairs of india, latest question asked in competetion papers, Moghul domes : 1564-1674 The  paintings  commissioned by the Moghul emperors are superb, but it is their architecture which has most astonished the world - and in particular the white marble domes characteristic of the reign of Shah Jahan. There is a long tradition of large Muslim domes in central Asia, going as far back as a tomb in  Bukhara  in the 10th century. But the Moghuls develop a style which is very much their own - allowing the dome to rise from the building in a swelling curve which somehow implies lightness, especially when the material of the dome is white marble. The first dome of this kind surmounts the tomb of  Humayun  in Delhi, built between 1564 and 1573. The style is then overlooked for a while - no doubt because of  Akbar 's preference for Hindu architecture, as in  Fatehpur Sikri  - un...
