Aryan, ping.

[James C. Bennett]

"We are all told that there is this kind of mother tongue, proto-Indo-European, from which all the languages we know emerge.

All the Indo-European languages, that is. Not Semitic (Hebrew, Arabic) or Sino-Tibetan languages:

[James C. Bennett]

Several ancient Indian texts believed to have been written by Aryans recount similar rituals. "These ancient Indian texts and hymns describe sacrifices of horses and burials and the way the meat is cut off and the way the horse is buried with its master," she said. "If you match this with the way the skeletons and the graves are being dug up in Russia, they are a millimetre-perfect match."

Of interest ping.

I never knew the origin of the swastika. Back in the days of these Arayans, the swastika meant something entirely different and I’m sure much more benign.

Minas Tirith!

That whole border region eventually became known as Scythia. The Scythians apparently were an Iranian tribe that moved northward into the steppes around 1,000 BC. Perhaps that was just a case of a subtribe coming back into the ancient lands. The ancient Sarmatians are also from this area. They began their decline with the Hun invasions from the east.

But I thought science had determined there was no “cohesive” group of “Aryan” peoples sharing a common culture/language?

Oops...guess these discoveries and the recent proving of the “Aryan Invasion Theory” through genetics forced mainstream science to change their stance...for the nth time.

Soft science is caught in a trap of its own making...namely, the curse of education. It seems that the more you think you know, the less you’re willing to admit you don’t know. Everything has to have an elaborate theory, an explanation, no matter how small the find. The large majority of social scientists have a hard time simply saying...we don’t know.

I have books many, many years old which trace the Celtic and Germanic people to the Russian steppes.

Same goes for proto-Indoeuropean languages.

The term “Ayran” does not appear widely in my soures.

Iranians like to call themselves “Ayrans” to distinguish themselves from Arabs.

Hitler and fellow travellors refered to “Ayrans.”
