Will some one tell the white supremacists to stop using the word Aryan incorrectly!

August 17, 2008 · 45 Comments

I keep seeing the word Aryan used to describe Northern Europeans, like the British, Germans and Scandinavians.

THEY ARE NOT ARYAN.

The Aryan/Indo European only describes South Eastern Europeans, Persians, and people into the Northern part of India. They had a population expansion starting about 10,000 years ago, which spread the Indo European languages all over. They only made up a minority of the ancestry in populations North of central Europe. Europeans do speak Indo European languages, but most of us have a different genetic legacy. Ancient Mesolithic hunter-gatherer in the far North, and from the Western Atlantic coast people in England and the West of Europe.

GET IT RIGHT…

Indo-Europeans/Aryans

From Greece to Pakistan

Not Aryans

From Norway, Sweden and Germany

It is kind of funny that the Aryan pride types mostly come from non-Aryan ancestry. I always have a chuckle when I see that one in print. I want to see a street full of the Iranians and Pakistanis next time there’s an Aryan pride march. That would make my day.

    Dear Mathilda:
    I have a lot of information on my blog about Persian aryans. I am sorry to say you are not correct. Also there are no Iranians in Iran. There is no such ethnicity. You can read it on my blog. You are welcome with any questions. thanks.

    Come on. Do you really think it’s a coincidence that anywhere we find the r1a haplogroup (which seems to be the vector of indo-european languages/culture and found in Europe mainly in east of Europe and the north of Europe), an European haplogroup (“akin” to R1b) we find also this kind of phenotypes (especially after like 4,000 years of mixing with people black-haired/black-eyed, swarthy or even blacks as the Dravidians) :

    And many more.

    Idem in Pakistan.

    In the north-east of Afghanistan, there is a region named Nuristan (ex-kafiristan). The Nuristani, their language, is an indo-iranian language (and as such indo-european) and here’s the kind of phenotype we can see sometimes :

    Up to one third of the Nuristani people is blond (http://www.iranica.com/newsite/articles/v1f5/v1f5a040a.html)

    Languages related to European languages.
    Typically European phenotypes in Asia.
    Is that really a coincidence ? ….
    It can’t be !

    The Indo European expansion was from the Turkey area.

    Northern europeans are mostly descended form old hunter gatherer groups.

    Blondness isn’t exclusive to one group or the other you know. This was rather more about skull shape.

    Hi.
    I want to make it clear that I’m not a white supremacist, by the way :)

    “The Indo European expansion was from the Turkey area.”

    This is not the most widely accepted hypothesis. An Ukrainian urheimat seems the most plausible right now, as far as I know. (the Yaman culture and its predecessor seems the most likely candidate for the craddle of the indo-europeans)

    And what about the Tarim Basim (Xinjiang, Chinese Turkestan a region that is at the same longitude than India but above Tibet) white mummies. The first one (like the Lulan Beauty is 1,800 BC which is tought to be the date of the arrival of the Aryans in India… That’s a lot of coincidences).
    Among these white-skinned mummies there are brown, blond and ginger hair.
    Among the Uyghurs of the region there are still sometimes blue eyes, fair skin and blond people.

    How would you explain all these phenotypes in these Asian regions … in places where, once again, we find European-related languages …. What is the probability that all this is unrelated ?

  • fox // October 8, 2008 at 12:47 pm | Reply

    “Northern europeans are mostly descended form old hunter gatherer groups.”

    Evidences of it ?
    How comes it seems the more there is a lot of R1a presence in a region, the more there is a propension to find blue-eyed blonds ?

    “Blondness isn’t exclusive to one group or the other you know.”

    Strangely enough Everywhere we find indo-european languages (Europe, India, Xinjiang, Iran, Aghanistan, Pakistan ) we find European bodily features (despite a mixing with very dark hair, eyes’ color and skin) and the haplogroup (Y-DNA) R1a (the R1 is clearly a marker of “european” white peoples).
    What are the probabilities that it is just a coincidence ? Extremely low.

    I call that a big hint.

    Sure, there are places where we can find blondness and the people are still not speaking european related languages or are very different from Europeans.
    The Berbers/Kabyles for instance (European-looking berbers are a tiny minority, just as the presence of the “European-related haplogrous in the population” – we can suppose this people that have European looking phenotypes are related to the Mechtoids, a cromagnoid people (R1*/u6 ? maybe with some R1b/u5 ?) that inhabited the region before the Berbers came about 10,000 yrs ago) :

    http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berbere1ff6.jpg

    http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berbere3kh9.jpg

    But there are white/European haplogroups (in it) R1* (if I well understood), U5 (and U6 is related to U5 if I well understood) and H.

    We find this R1* also in Egypt what could explain this :

    Nofret and Rahotep (part of the Pharaoh family, 4th dynasty (around 2,500 BC) – old kingdom)

    http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nofretfaceyo8.jpg

    http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rahotepfacety4.jpg

    Hemiunu, member of the Pharaoh family, architect of the great Pyramid, 4th dynasty (around 2,500 BC) :

    http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hemiunurn5.jpg

    Pharaoh Userkaf (around 2,500 BC) :

    http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pharaohuserkaf24652458bay0.jpg

    … and the blond Egyptians frescoes you gave in one of your article.

    We also find blond aborigenes in certain regions of Australia, and again a R* (R1* ? ) haplogroup is found in the population :

    The Y-DNA haplogroup map I base my words on :

    http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=worldhaplogroupsmaps1ae5.png

    (brown color in the pies)

    There is also a R1* presence in north Cameroon (and a bit less up to Mali apparently), but even in some Africans despite the recessive genes and the opposite phenotypes of the original Africans we sometimes can see these kind of things :

    http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=africanboysoz8.jpg

    Just a theory but still … it’s strange that apparently, everywhere we see blond people we can find an R Haplogroup in the region. That’s a lot of coincidences I think … I see a pattern at work.

    Anyway, even if we can find blond peoples not all related to The R1s, the points about indo-european-speaking Asia still stand.

    “This was rather more about skull shape.”

    We evolute in many ways. Why would it be only about one bodily features ?


    Sorry for my flawed english. This is not my language.

    I’d just like to mention that present day europeans are Indo-Europeans/Aryans. Yes, the term “aryan” is indian and persian, but those are originally the same people who also migrated to Europe 4000 to 3000 years ago (and spread their indo-european languages there, such as the celtic, roman or germanic languages). Their original homeland is believed to be southern Ukraine. The people in that second set of photos are very much Aryans (as are those in the first).

    This is an old story. Aryans (or whatever you want to call fair whites) migrate into a warm, dry area, irrigate it, draw in dark people, mixture occurs, then decline.

    The latest examples of this are the SW USA, Oz and the Cape Province.

    Perhaps some day the Mestizos will proudly point to the ruins of a collapsed Golden Gate Bridge and proclaim, “See what our glorious ancestors built!”

    Do you know if anyone done any research in to which DNA haplogroups the ancient Aryans could have been associated with?

    I ask this because I recently got my mtDNA tested and it came back that I was part of haplogroup T (which is currently carried by about 10% of the people in Europe) and is associated with the general expansion of agriculture during the Neolithic. It is also the youngest native European mtDNA haplogroup.

    Strangely enough, mtDNA haplogroup T can be found as far East as Pakistan/Northwestern India, which is exactly the areas where the ancient Aryans are said to have entered modern Pakistan and India many thousands of years ago.

    Has anyone done research on the haplogroup distribution of India’s elite castes and classes? Research has proven that India’s elite castes/classes, which are at least partially descended from ancient Aryans (evidenced by their much lighter skin and more Europeanized [non-Dravidian] features), definitely have more European-derived DNA as opposed to the native low-caste Indian Dravidians; see: http://news.bio-medicine.org/biology-news-2/Scientists-find-link-between-Indian-caste-rank-and-genetic-similarity-to-Europeans-9867-1/

    Also, many European royal families are associated with haplogroup T in regards to mtDNA [see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_T_(mtDNA)#Popular_Culture possibly their is a ‘royal’ or ‘elite’ component associated with this haplogroup, and that ‘elite’ connection was carried to Pakistan/India by the so called ancient Aryans where they eventually established the racially-based caste system there that persists even to this day?

    If a majority of a particular ancestry is required to be included in that ancestral group, then probably the only ethnic groups in Europe containing any significant number of “Aryans” are Poles, Byelorussians, Russians and Ukrainians, and perhaps some N. Caucasus groups.

    It is obvious from observing the modern phenotypic geography along with the DNA evidence which shows most ancestry to be very ancient in an area (and in all but the above-mentioned ethnic regions predominantly non-Aryan in Europe).

    Unraveling the relationships of the linguistic sub-families of IE (I am using “IE” as = “Aryan”) has involved complex influences among them, often uncertain origins at the time of splitting from PIE, and complex interactions with non-IE languages in the many areas to which IE languages migrated.

    “Nordic” peoples are more Uralic and Gravettian than Aryan. Western Europeans more than anything descend from the people of that region 25K bp.

    Culturally, probably the most “Aryan” peoples remaining today, in the sense of closest to the tribal steppe culture of the time of PIE, or at least to the Kurgan period culture, are the tribal peoples of remoter Afghanistan and NE Iran. But there as elsewhere, their ancestry is only partly Aryan, as they are mixed with indigenous populations, as in Europe in clines surrounding the Kurgan area and surrounding the route of expansion toward India from that area.

    White supremacist “Aryans” have as much grip on reality as any nutball cultists.

    I think that term will die hard. The problem is, the whole “Aryan Invasion theory,” (that kick started it) has been wrapped around false origin theory-and rhetoric-for so long, that it’s ingrained in the minds of many. It’s a last resort argument for these Eurocentric (&/or white supremist types) on the losing side of an debate.

    The fact is, that even if Aryans did exist as a separate group (at least w/ regard to India), they were of “Mediterranean” (or Middle Eastern) physical type. Saying that “whites” invaded India, would be no different than saying “MEXICANS” fought the Moors in Spain! The fact of the matter is, since their was no Mexica Indian blood (in Spain), Mexicans had nothing to do w/those battles. The same can be said for those Eurocentric Whites out there. Modern Europeans are a mixture of 2 different physical types: Original European (that evolved during the upper Paleolithic in Europe…aka “cro magnon”), and Middle eastern or “Mediterranean” physical types (that initially penetrated Europe-in the neolithic- around 10,000 years ago..at least the balkans/Greece), and populated other areas of Europe in later waves.

    If the Cro Magnon element is missing, if a group is PURELY of mediterranean stock, then it cannot be considered “white.” We’ve set those definitions ourselves (I won’t even go into the ridiculousness of trying to classify the whole of the middle east/Europe under a “caucasian” race).

    So, in short..Mediterranean/middle eastern types would be “Aryan.” Whites themselves would not be. Also, Mediterraneans would be the ones that built the pyramids (w/ admixture-at times-of sub saharan African blood), built Mohenjodaro & Harrapan (if the Dravidian language group does indeed coincide w/ the mediterranean types in India), built Sumer etc.

    Oh,…and to the people who like to throw up the R1a haplotype presence in Europe (and then use that to further their argument that the mythical invasions into India took place), think about it… There have been SEVERAL migrations/Invasions of Scythic-type ppl since 500 B.C. or better into the Middle east/caucasus/India. Indian Punjabi’s themselves, have a significant amount of genes attributed to Afghan invasions. These Afghan genes are directly related to Scythian related ancestors (many, of course, which had European blood) that invaded that area. That is backed by history, and science/DNA.

    I don’t care who is noble and true Aryan .You know, those people with white features that live in Pakistan or India or Afghanistan they just live there but they are not of their origins. I am from Ukraine and we almost had no others but us and Russians living on our lands and let me tell you this: Those people are of my origin not yours. No offense to any “Real Aryans that are dark and Indian looking” but those kids look like our kids not yours, OK? Pakistani’s and Indians look like our Gypsies looked. Aishwaraya Rai looks like our gypsies and they came to europe from pakistan. So, to those that think that many other dark skinned nations have blonds know this: they have our people there that came long long time ago to those faraway lands. I can see them in me, I don’t have to know this I can almost “smell” my blood in them. The facial features, bone structure, I mean everything. Some of them look like they could have a little mix of natives in them but they are still my people I know it because it is my kind. If you call those Indians or Pakistanis true Aryans and not whites you are so WRONG! They ARE whites end of story. Come on people let go. Don’t be so noble or be so and admit it finally. Don’t seek out those light featured light eyed people among yours and say look these are our true Aryans and they are not whites. Besides it is true that the term Aryan is Indian but the people were not, that is why they don’t even look like Indians. O, and I am not white extremist to those that are troubled with such silly stuff. I don’t give sh…t about it. We had no such stuff over there so I am not use to any form of racism or any of that garbage. Life is to short and precious. Cheers!

    YOU get it right…the word “aryan” for the White Supremacist, neonazis and other groups is a synonyms for “White people WITHOUT jewish ancestry”.

    Aryan = Non jew person.

    If you don’t like this interpretation of the word “Aryan” it’s YOUR problem.

    Actually you are incorrect also. ”Aryan” only covers those who speak an Indo-Aryan language (hence Sanskrit *Arya-) and thus it doesn’t include Southern or Eastern Europe only Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, half of India, Sri Lanka etc.

    Also, the northern Europeans are very much related to the Aryans of Asia and the Southern and Eastern Europeans. The difference in look comes from a difference in climate.

    It must be stated that the Germanic people have the highest degree of mixing with the pre-Indo-Europeans but they are also still genetically related to other Indo-Europeans (which is why geneticall Germans have traits in common with even Indians) and their culture is wholely Indo-European and their ancient religion was verty similar to Vedic Hinduism and other European faiths.

    I think your wrong on this point. Aryans came from the steppes and spread out. They looked like the Tokarian mummies.

    …let me amend the etymology of sindhu,
    the old sanskrit for, hindu. now that i have
    seen dukha used for the people of tzaatan/mazatlan(N), i am convinced
    that the name of a people is not ballast,
    or a toss/toxaua shower, rather it is,
    tocaitl(N)=name, reknown, honor,
    reputation, the verb, toca(N)=to sow seed,
    so, sin-=tzintli(N/honorific), later,
    saintly, and, -dhu=tocaitl/toca(N)=
    the saintly name/sowing, makes more
    sense, and in a tenuous way connects
    hindu/sindhu to the dukha deer culture
    people, whose area, the altai mts was
    the cultural light bulb in 50k bc that
    lit eurasia, magnet for nomads,
    ignition for religion, the altar of
    man, light of the world, and
    the civilizations that follow that light
    even now.

    deer they used to ride. the last half of

    Short comment: It’s just stupid think that the nowdays mixed races form there would have anything to do with the Aryans. Aryans are, in that mystic way which we call someone ‘aryan’ and not ‘caucasian’ or ‘white’, descendants from Ultima Thule, or Hyperborea, all of’em nordcis (white nords and red nords).

    …meat and mazeltov, other ma-/mazatl(N)=
    deer words that can be added, mayes/berber,
    are the scythoid alani, who called themselves,
    massagetae, also their dog, mastiff/alaunt,
    who by nomenclature began as a deerhound,
    hunted lions with the iranians, was trained
    to guard the beeve herds of the massagetae
    alan, and was their wardog. the mastiff also
    appears on the early chess board as name for
    the queen, merze(mongolian)=mastiff, but
    a close look at the word fits, metztli(N)=
    limb, leg, moon, chess being played by
    chinese emperor, wu tu, 6c ad, was called
    the elephant/image game and included
    the sun, moon, stars, constellations.
    the queen was also called bers/nohoi(M)
    both mongolian words meaning, guard
    dog, bers(M)=vers=iueli(N)=powerful, our
    old friend from bear worship. with the alan/
    massagetae deer people we are getting closer to the origin of the tonalamatl/tonalli/tonatiuh
    sun book where dog is the center(10)of the
    booksouls, day 11=ozomatli/monkey but
    originally=ozo=oso(sp)=bear, the zo is
    zoomorphic, e.g., otso(basque)=wolf.
    deer=day7. nohoi(Mongol)=nouian(N)=
    on all sides, partout(Fr). the kings name=
    noyon(M)=lord=nouianyo(N)=universal
    (i take it to be the sun symbol). in reference
    to both king and queen, nouian ixquich(N)=
    squared(cuadrado) alludes to their moving
    capability on the chess board. the queen
    also bears the name, arslan(M)=lion,
    which the merze/mastiff hunts on the
    persian palace friezes. the rook is called,
    tereg(M)=cart=tetlecotiliztli(N)=draw the
    line, game limit, complete rupture with
    someone. whether these are original names
    for the chess pieces or adapted to the pastoral
    life of the mongolians is still in question, but
    pieces made of deer horn are being found in
    iranian grave sites, and to my mind, a people
    who can train mastiffs for different tasks,
    are the best warriors of their age, supply
    war chariots to the iranians, are blond,
    blue-eyed, a neander trait, horsebreeders,
    cattle herders who planted rhubarb
    along the rha(volga)=tlatla(N)=flame, the first
    tea before china was a nation, who are
    most successful of the ancient deer tribes,
    sunworshippers as they all were, who went
    not from deer to sheep, but deer to horse
    to cattle=ecatl(day2soul), who were monogamous but held their wives in common,
    (now that’s an idea we could use today to
    put divorce lawyers and the yellow press
    back on the level), used the net/matlatl(N)
    in battle almost capturing an armenian king,
    then in 9-12th c. ad were forced by the
    mongol swell to settle the caucassus from
    their previous homeland, the sea of azov=
    lake meotis=meyaya otli(N)=the flowing road
    where they fished and tailored fresh water
    seal for clothing, once in the causassus
    they form alania, a christian kingdom.
    to my mind they have shown the capability
    and mental strength to develop the game
    of chess and to have created the tonalamatl.
    it’s a close race between them and the
    mongolians for this honor. one of the puzzling
    things, but perhaps a clue to origin by
    negativity, is the complete disappearance of
    the tonalamatl in the eurasian area, only
    later to surface in the new world, something
    that can only be attributed to the fortunes
    of war, the destroyer of cultural systems
    finer than itself.

    …the scyth aryans, the alani, are neander cross,
    alphas out of deer culture as well, directly from
    deer to horse, cattle, mastiff, breeders, blond,
    green-eyed or blue, red-head too, sure sign of
    the previous heroic species, not chronus but
    the son, zeus, aryan skygod and author of first
    internecine holocaust, driving the youngest
    titan, father chronus, as in, titan(gk) titlani(N)=
    messenger of the fallen angel promethean race
    of neander, over the aryan bridge of zeus, first
    known to the greeks as snake, the skygod who
    comes out of the new goddess and venus,
    the shuttle star hecate, whose weavers are
    populating the danube, beginning
    to weave fiber/wool after the tree innerbark
    worship of the rope age, zeus is the rise of male
    gods, their frivolity, airiness, and inhuman
    selfishness by excluding the original female
    principle and goddesses in favor of their
    stupid wars, and tribes/tribu(sp)=tepulli(N)=
    the male member or staff, phallic and laughable
    missile ewes call the mutton daggar, elevated
    way beyond it’s importance in the suffering
    world today, victim of its comic and
    improbable orgys of power so flaccid even
    the gods roar in laughter, while their women
    hide their (s)knickers in their sleeves.

    Aryan isnt a race whatsoever – just some stupid thing that the Nazis fell in love with and made it synonymous with the Nordic race.
    Arya means ‘noble’ in Indic-Farsi-Pashto.
    It’s jus that Orientalids/Arabids and Armenoids, Europeans and Indids/Irano-Afghans share their ancestry via the West Eurasian ydnas and mtdnas.
    also Europeans braved the Ice age while Indid R1a’s retreated into a more fertile land and merged with J2 Ydna farmers.

    Indian, Pakistan, Persian, etc … Indo-European tribes are not Aryans in the MTDNA they just have some Aryan admixture from the Aryan invasion and conquest in the male Y-DNA.

  • tzopilotl // November 2, 2009 at 12:37 am | Reply

    …arya would mean noble as it’s root, ailia(N)=
    work for someone else, ally, is the reverential
    of to do, ay(N), the 2d component, ana(N)=to
    spread, grow. this probably refers to the loose
    confederation of tribes and the loyaltys and
    rivalrys theirein, still visible in iraq, iran,
    afghanistan(the mideast). so, increasing allies.
    given the meaning of aryana/aryan in this case
    it is foolish to expect the word to produce ethnicity, true it is a surge word, a recruiting
    phrase, just what arab pr would order, a call
    to the cause, a call to tribes.

    Many ethnic groups carry some Aryan legacy. Aryans mixes in India with Dravid an other population and in Britain with other Paleoeuropeans. It looks very plausible that R1a Y chromosome happlogroup is the best marker of Aryan descend. It’s higest proportion (about 40%) is found among Russias, Ukrainians, Polish, Latvians, Lithuanians, and Kyrgiz. It’s quite high (about 30%) among North Indians, Norvegians, East Germans, Estonians, Finnish speaking populations of Russia. The British, Greeks, Iranians have on 10% of this. This could be explained with the fact that these lands were dencely populate when Aryan invaders came from South Russian steppe. So people changed language without changing genes, as it happened many times in history.

    Only Indians are Aryans. It is our word and first used by Indo Europeans after they created the Vedic civilisation near the Indus river 5000 years ago to describe themselves as a noble people. Only 1000 years later Persians used (copied) the word.
    The word Arya is first mentioned in the ancient Indian texts.
