So what was the history behind Vedas? When was it written?

I personally think gandhar is from gandhara, which was spread throughout northern Pakistan and Afghanistan (which could also include Kandahar) as gandhara seems to have played a big role in Vedic times, it really took off in 1 century Ad under the Kushans.

Most primitive text of the genius people are called Vedas:), First of it is Rigveda, the most worshipped river in Vedas is Saraswati, Personified Saraswati, daughter of Brhma is in Brhamlok (heavanly abode) now, Vedas originated from River Saraswati as written in vedas which might mean that it was written at the banks of saraswati and when saraswati had dried, they referred it has went back to heaven, Migration near the Ganga happened during post vedic period, that is why Puranas and Mahakavyas consider ganga as sacred and refer that it came down from heaven

Vedas intially originated orally and trasferred from one generation to another through oral tradition and were written after writing was discovered, the age in which they are written is not sure.
