[This is just my opinion] Hinduism seems to have began in the Indus River Valley civilization based on their pictographs with images similar to the their gods poses, sacred cows and the swastika of Hinduism.
We know many people venerated ancestors.
Could it be a vague memory of the trinity of brothers who populated the world post-flood? (Vishnu was elevated years later in this pantheon).
*Remember they have a story where Vishnu comes in an avatar of a
fish to save Manu during a global flood by guiding his boat filled with seeds, animals and 8 people.
Q: So could it be that the eldest, Japheth, became the creator god Brahma?
Q: And Vishnu the preserver god modelled after Shem of whom the Messianic line was to come?
Q: And finally Shiva modelled after a vague memory of Ham, the bad boy of the brothers?

Remember that Ham (like Shiva had) would obviously have a good side at times but
made some sort of terrible mistake that resulted in Noah (Hindu Manu) cursing him.
*Another possibility is that Brahma could be a vague memory of Noah who was the progenitor of the post-flood race and Shiva representing Ham
*Another possibility is that Brahma could be a vague memory of Noah who was the progenitor of the post-flood race and Shiva representing Ham
(because if you remember, Ham did something to Noah) and Shiva cut off one of Bahama's heads.....later to make a trinity Vishnu was elevated to make 3. Sort of blending the vague memory of the three who populated the earth with the Noah/Ham story.
----Just an thought....
Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. Genesis 10:1
