Rana, still the fact remains that the oldest known chariots with spoked wheels are from the Sintashta Culture. There appear to be no older similar chariots in Mesopotamia. Or can you find any?
Rana:
1. Centum substrate is irrelevant for the location of Proto-Indo-Iranian.
2. What is the problem with the ruki law in Nuristan?
3. Number of waves is irrelevant for the location of Proto-Indo-Iranian.
4. What is the problem with inner-outer hypothesis?
Rana:
How so?
Their datings are as a whole incredibly early. Because those contradict the archaeo-linguistic datings, they must be wrong. There is no reliable way to date languages from the number of shared words, because there are so many possible factors involved with such a number.
The southern route is utterly impossible, because there is a continuum of early Indo-Iranian loanword layers in Uralic.

1.Centum substrate in Uttarakhand
2.Nature of ruki law in Nuristan
3.Two wavey Ir-IA theory (as proposed by Parpola)
4.Inner–Outer hypothesis”

How so?
