Where It All Started Hinduism was first started in India, about 1500 B.C. http://patrickstack.com/images/2009/02/475_india_map.jpeg
http://www.atmajyoti.org/images/krishna_arjuna_2.jpg Hinduism was started by the religion of Aryans, who believed in many deities.
How Do We Know? People know about the religion from the Aryan’s hymns, poems, and epics. http://c1824532.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/GC_498-1.jpg
Their Beliefs They worshipped many Lords, but the three main Gods/goddesses were Brahma, Vishhu, and Siva.
Upanishads These tell how a person and the Brahman unite together. http://aaaummm.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/upanishad-text.jpg
The Hindu believed that people would have to pass through many lives before they were put with the Brahman. http://img.ezinemark.com/imagemanager2/files/30003693/2010/10/2010-10-30-09-51-41-3-she-took-two-images-of-the-ghost.jpeg
Their Other Lives For the lives they had to live Before they reached the Brahman, if you had a good Life, you would still continue A good life. http://nambagear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/indian-man-v2.bmp
If you had a bad life, you would be on a lower caste, and be something smaller then you originally were. http://cafod.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/oldest-man.jpg
