Andronovo subcultures lasted till 1200-1000 BCE in Central Asia, which is during the supposed age of Rig Veda given by Witzel, Parpola & others.
Now the problem is, how did the Aryan composers of Vedic hymns completely lost contacts with their Andronovan ancestral home after arriving in India?
Why did Aryans give more emphasis on Sarasvati-Sindhu region in RV rather than their homeland in the steppes while their ancestral culture still flourished there?
Why there isn't any mention of lands or rivers beyond Afghanistan in RV at all?
