You are probably right. The Hittite Mittani treaty of 1400 BCE makes references to Vedic deities. This treaty took place in Anatolia (present day Turkey).
You are also right about (Sir)Aurel Stein . Incidentally Aurel Stein was the first to postulate the existence of the dried up river bed of Ghaggar Hakra as being the remnant of the once mighty Saraswati.
