Wikipedia Trail From Mount Meru to Iron Age

My interest for Mount Meru started when I read a storybook discussing the mountain and mythology of it. I scrolled down on that page and found a word that I was unfamiliar with. The word was yojana and is a type of mesaurement for distance used in ancient India. Yojana equates to be about 12-15 km and was used during the Vedic period. The Vedic period was between 1500 BCE- 500 BCE, the culture was tribal and pastoral. The end of the period challenged the Kuru Kingdom which was Indo-Aryan tribal union during the Vedic period and was located in the north during the Iron Age India. Iron Age in India is the prehistorical period.
