"The situation with Egypt is different. Some of the parallels are remarkable and unique, like ‘the lotus-born one’, ‘the eye that runs off’, ‘the Cosmic Egg’ or the Yama-Osiris correspondences. ... Thus, since the Vedic people had knowledge of mathematics and astronomy which found expression in the material culture of the ISC, one is tempted to suggest that the influence for the sudden outburst of the Egyptian civilization came from Saptasindhu, especially since no other comparable culture is in evidence in the late fourth millennium. But precisely here both archaeological and textual evidence fail us in not indicating any direct contacts. We are left only with speculation that, perhaps, some Indoaryans, in obedience to the dictum in RV X, 65, 11 that they should spread the Aryan laws/usages all over the earth, went to Egypt for this purpose. However, future archaeological work may present a new picture in Egypt."
