P. N. Oak, an Indian historian, controversially claimed that Vedic culture influenced ancient Egypt, linking Egyptian monuments, deities, and practices to Vedic traditions. He argued that the pyramids were inspired by Vedic architecture, and Egyptian gods like Ra were derived from Hindu deities. Oak also suggested that Egyptian hieroglyphs and beliefs in the afterlife mirrored Vedic concepts.
However, Oak’s theories are widely dismissed by scholars as pseudohistory, lacking substantial evidence and relying on conjecture. His ideas, presented in works like <em>The World Vedic Heritage</em>, continue to spark debate but remain rejected in mainstream academic circles.
