Thankyou for the info Shri Pbkhema ji.

I too came across info of the destruction of Lingas a very long time back but cannot recollect it was mentioned in which veda or purana.

Possibly there was a section that followed idol worship with abhisekham for lingas and statues; and there was another section that followed the non-idol worship system of havans. Both these sections probably clashed and eventually merged later. So Rudra became merged with Shiva.

But i think Vishnu is mentioned in the vedas, albeit as a minor diety. Let me check.
