Aryans are real people! Aryans and India: Aliens from the north conquered the locals with superweapons.

"Aryan" problem - the problem of origin and ancestral home, cultural role and the historical heritage of the Aryan tribes has occupied world science for more than two centuries. Who are the Aryans-Aryans?

Aryans are peoples who speak the languages ​​of the Iranian and Indian groups of the Indo-European language family, as well as the Kafirs (Nuristanis) and Dards. Their ancestors had a common name - "Arya", "Aryan", similar culture and way of life, lived on the same territory, but several millennia ago they left their cradle and began to move to lands far from each other; gradually Aryan unity disintegrated. At present, the peoples of the Iranian group live in Ossetia, Tajikistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Pakistan, as well as in the countries bordering them. Representatives of the Indo-Aryan ethnic groups inhabit India - mainly its central and northern regions, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Maldives, the east and south of Pakistan. Migrants, descendants of the Indo-Aryans, formed large colonies in Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, the islands of Mauritius in the Indian and Fiji in Pacific Oceans, in the West Indies (Caribbean Sea) and in Guiana, in South Africa and on the coast of East Africa. A considerable number of them settled in North America and Europe. Dards and Nuristanis live in Kashmir and in the provinces adjacent to Kashmir in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The total number of Aryan-speaking peoples is about 1 billion people, they make up about a seventh of the entire population of the Earth. Of this billion Indo-Aryans, there are approximately 900 million, Iranians - more than 90 million, Dards and Nuristanis - 5-6 million people.

The ancient Aryans created three highly developed and peculiar civilizations - Persian, Indo-Gangetic and Turano-Scythian, had a significant impact on the cultures of the Front and South-East Asia, Caucasus, China, Turkic, Mongolian, Slavic and Finno-Ugric peoples. Their contribution to the treasury of the spiritual values ​​of mankind is unusually weighty. Aria- Indo-Iranians broke into world history at the beginning of the II millennium BC. - in an era when the great civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Harappa (Indus Valley) and the islands of the Eastern Mediterranean (Crete-Mycenaean world) experienced a deep internal crisis. The tribes of the Aryan root contributed to the renewal of ancient societies, gave a powerful impetus to the world cultural and historical process. For two millennia - up to the III-IV centuries AD. - they were the main actors of world history - until they grew old and gave way to younger peoples.

Among the Indo-Europeans, the "Aryans" were not an isolated group devoid of family ties. Slavic, Baltic (Letto-Lithuanian), as well as Armenian and ancient Greek languages ​​are close to their dialects. The speakers of these languages ​​had with the Indo-Iranians many common ethnographic features, cult-mythological ideas, and psychological traits, dating back to a single source. This indicates that the ancestors of the Greeks and Armenians, the Balto-Slavs and the Indo-Iranians constituted one cultural-historical block in ancient times. However, the proto-Greeks and proto-Armenians separated from this bloc very early and did not maintain such close family ties with the Indo-Iranians as the ancestors of the Balto-Slavs. Much further than the listed peoples, the carriers of other Indo-European dialects, in particular, the Germans and the Celts, are separated from the Aryans. Therefore, the Slavs and Balts (Lithuanians and Latvians) have much more reason to be called Aryans than the Germans, Scandinavians, French and other European peoples.

What was the ancient Aryan society like? The study of various sources suggests that long before the start of large-scale migrations, the Indo-Iranians were pastoral tribes. Their cornerstone public life was a large patriarchal family, typical of the pastoral peoples of Eurasia. The basis of the economy was the breeding of cattle and horses. The number of cows and bulls was the main measure of material well-being and wealth, a cow was considered the best sacrifice that the gods could wish for. The foundation of the military power of the Aryans was the war cavalry, magnificent chariots. A thoroughbred horse was worth a whole herd of ordinary ones. All other animals were inferior in their importance to cows and horses, and in addition to them, the Indo-Iranians bred goats, sheep, and two-humped camels. Pig breeding was almost unknown to them, it was considered a matter of little honor, pigs were not sacrificed to the gods. The Aryans were also engaged in agriculture, but it was a secondary occupation for them.

The tribes of the Indo-Iranians were semi-sedentary; every few years they moved their villages to a new place, which, as a rule, was not far from the former camp. The Aryans did not know the potter's wheel, sculpted ceramics "by hand" and fired it not in a furnace, but in special pits or on a fire. Their ritual utensils were wooden.

The Indo-Iranians lived in large houses dug into the ground, they also used dwellings on wheels - like wagons or wagons, they knew many metals and alloys - copper, gold, silver, bronze, they made weapons and utensils from them. The Aryans were well versed in the art of woodworking, it was they who perfected the technique of building chariots.

The Indo-Iranians were warlike people, military booty - cattle, pastures, captives - was one of the most important sources of their well-being. Wars were fought almost constantly - both between the Indo-Iranians themselves, and between them and other peoples.

The Aryans were expert gatherers of wild honey, and it was an essential element of their diet. The main food for them was fresh cow's milk and products obtained from it: sour milk and butter, as well as cereal dishes like porridge and boiled meat. For various rituals and religious celebrations, the Indo-Iranians made "sauma" - a drink that led to a state of sacred ecstasy. On secular holidays, public and family, drunken "sura" was used. These holidays opened with equestrian competitions, followed by a collective feast.

The Aryans wore leather-made trousers, boots and jackets, as well as a hood - clothes that later became traditional for the mass of Eurasian nomads.

The Indo-Iranians either cremated their dead, or buried them under burial mounds, or (much less often) left them to the will of the elements and the devourers fell on the territory of burial grounds designated for this purpose.

The most ancient Aryans did not know a specialized, market-oriented craft, money trade and cities, they did not build fortresses, palaces, or temples, they probably did not have either cult images or writing.

In their midst, three social groups took shape, which were called "flowers". The most numerous of the "flowers" were community herders. The second group was represented by warriors, the third - by priests. They were the most revered social class. Kings, "sons of the Sun", who crowned the entire system of social organization of the Aryans and headed individual tribes and tribal unions, were considered warrior-priests.

Various branches of the Aryans created great monuments of ancient religious thought, the Indo-Aryans - the Vedas, the southern Iranians - the Avesta. Judging by these monuments, they worshiped a host of gods, believing, at the same time, that behind all the diversity of life phenomena lies a single and eternal Primal Foundation, a spiritual and creative principle that created this world, God the Absolute. Each of their many gods embodied different aspects of this Absolute.

There were very few female deities in the Indo-Iranian pantheon, and a severe patriarchy reigned in it. The Aryan gods were shepherd gods. Their most frequent epithets are "lord of vast pastures", "sending beautiful wealth", etc. The gods were asked to irrigate pastures, give herds of horses and bulls. In Indo-Iranian hymns, the gods were depicted riding horse-drawn chariots, their most important function was to protect livestock from demons or their servants in the earthly world.

Sacrifices were the main element of the religious practice of the Aryans. Sacrifices were made not only to the gods, but also to the ancestors. In addition to animals, the gods were offered ghee, saumu and milk. In honor of the ancestors, mounds were built with stone altars.

The cult of the horse was extremely developed among the Indo-Iranians, along with it, probably, the cult of the beaver, less common among them, also existed.

An essential component of the religion of the Aryans was also the veneration of fire and the worship of the Sun. It is possible that the very name "Arya" goes back to ancient name Suns - Svar, Svara.

In the Indo-Iranian environment, a sacred mythopoetic language developed, which was used when performing rituals and addressing the gods. The poetics of the Aryans was based on pastoral terms. The images of a cow, a bull and a horse permeate the Indian "Vedas", the Iranian "Zend-Avesta". On their basis, the entire symbolic system of religious texts is built, flickering with alliterations and hidden meanings using a large number of epithets and synonyms. Only in the "Rigveda" - the main of the "Vedas" - to designate key images - a horse, a bull and a cow, at least 10 - 15 different synonyms are used.

Where is the ancestral home of the Aryans, which the peoples of the Indian branch called "Arya Varta", the peoples of the Iranian branch - "Aryan Veja", i.e. "Aryan space"?

As already mentioned, the search for it has been going on for more than two centuries, but there is still no consensus in science about where it is located. The Aryan cradle was sought in the Himalayas and India, the Middle East and Central Asia, Europe and the Caucasus, the Arctic and Tibet. Supporters of the most authoritative and reasonable point of view believe that it was located in the strip from the Carpathians to the Volga.

It is known that the ancestral home of the Aryans occupied the eastern part of the common Indo-European focus, was in a zone of temperate, relatively dry and continental climate, abounded in open extended spaces. All this seems to testify in favor of the localization of the Aryan ancestral home precisely in the steppes and forest-steppes of the Great Russian Plain, however, many facts suggest that it was located to the east - on the slopes of the Urals and in the Trans-Urals.

First, on the basis of linguistic data, it was established that mountains lay near the center of the formation of the Indo-Iranian peoples. On that segment of the Eurasian steppe belt, where the ancestors of the Aryans could theoretically live, only the ridges of the Urals could be such mountains, there are no other regions with mountainous relief.

Second. The Indo-Iranians were familiar with phenomena occurring at high latitudes: snowy cold winters, the phenomena of the polar day, polar night and polar dawn, northern lights. Their information was very accurate. If they lived in Southern Russia located too far from the regions of the Arctic, they could not have such information. On the contrary, if the ancestors of the Aryans lived in the Urals and beyond the Urals, they should have been well aware of the nature of the North, since there the border of the forest-steppe is not far from the latitudes where polar phenomena are regularly observed.

Third. The Indo-Iranians had very early and very close contacts with the ancestors of the Finno-Ugric peoples. Their connections with speakers of other non-Indo-European dialects were later and less representative. The maximum similarity in the sphere of language and culture, sometimes reaching complete identity, is found among the Aryans with Ugric tribes, who from ancient times lived in the Trans-Ural taiga, and who in the era of the existence of the Indo-Iranian community in Eastern Europe did not have.

Finally, archaeological research in recent decades has revealed a large cultural and historical community in the steppe and forest-steppe Trans-Urals, which could belong to the ancient Aryans, since its creators, like the Indo-Iranians, belonged to the Paleo-European race, led a household based on breeding horses and cattle, and the lifetime of this archaeological community and the time of existence of a single array of Indo-Iranians practically coincide. Horse breeding among the Trans-Ural tribes was more ancient and more developed than among the inhabitants of Eastern Europe, among them the cult of the horse, so characteristic of the Aryans, spread very early. These tribes maintained lively ties with the inhabitants of the Siberian taiga, in which various scientists see Paleo-Ugrians. In addition, the territory on which the monuments of this archaeological community were located became the core of the formation of the cultures of the Andronovo circle, which undoubtedly belonged to the Indo-Iranians; while the complexes created by the Asian predecessors of the Andronovites were important component in the composition of their culture.

The combination of all these and many other facts makes us assume that the homeland of the Aryan peoples lay in the Asian steppes, in the Southern Urals and in the Trans-Urals.

ancient arias

aria-yoga:

According to mythological ideas, the brown, yellow, black, and red races previously existed on Earth. Our White race the last, Aryan, and its most characteristic representative, who preserved to a greater extent the purity of Aryan blood, is the Russian people. The mythologies of all the peoples of the Earth include the legend of global flood. One can, of course, imagine that the birth of such a myth could be facilitated by a local experience of an accidental very large flood of the river, but the similarity of the details about the salvation on the ark still speaks more in favor of a real event of world significance. The issue of glaciation and the death of mammoths is not clear so fast that frozen carcasses with the remains of undigested plant food in their stomachs are found in the permafrost of northern Siberia. A comparison of disparate sources of information suggests the following:

Russians are one of the oldest nations that inhabited the Earth and had a previously developed civilization before the grandiose global cataclysm. The ancient Aryans are our direct ancestors. Russians lived on the territory today occupied by tundra and permafrost in the region of the Northern Urals more than ten thousand years ago. In those days, the climate there was completely different, tropical. Abundant vegetation covered vast areas, and the forests were full of animals and birds, the rivers were full of fish. It was literally a golden age. The Russians worked moderately, they did not experience a lack of anything, and the development of production was due only to an organic merger with nature. But not preparations for wars, civil strife, so characteristic of our period of civilization. There was no slavery among the Russians, just as there were no wars of conquest. However, they were always ready to repel enemy attacks due to the developed hierarchy of the state control system, a sense of community, innate courage and extraordinary fortitude. At that time, they already owned metallurgical production and urban planning. Only recently, the scientific world was shocked by the completely unexpected finds of a number of remains of ancient cities in Siberia and the Northern Urals, obtained as a result of special photographing of the territory from space. The antiquity of the buildings is undoubted, and, undoubtedly, the fact that our ancient ancestors could build structures that are not inferior to the buildings of Ancient Greece many millennia before it. Excavations are already waiting for their discoverers.

The first city beyond the Urals, which was given the name Arkaim (after the name of a nearby mountain) in which excavations had already begun, showed that it was inhabited by artisans, farmers, and hunters. The inhabitants themselves were worshipers of the sun, as evidenced by the swastikas (sign - Kolovrat), the oldest stylized image of the sun, applied to ceramic dishes and other material remains. This symbol was extremely common among ancient peoples. In terms of the city is a regular circle with radially divergent streets. (The echo of that architecture undoubtedly affected the urban planning of Moscow). Found figurines, for some reason very similar to statues from Easter Island. The ancient tools made of mammoth bone and wood, found in the permafrost, according to radiocarbon analysis, have a distance of 9-10 thousand years from us. And yet this is not the main thing. The main discoveries are still waiting for their archaeologists. The fact is that the buildings found are a post-culture that arose on the remains of the previous, lost civilization of the Aryans as a result of a global catastrophe that occurred 11.5 thousand years ago. It was then that mammoths died out, and the descendants of the Aryans managed to survive the catastrophe thanks to a fairly strong and developed culture.

It is assumed that the reason for such a rapid glaciation is the rotation of the earth's axis, which occurs from time to time. The earth is an ellipsoid shape. Every student knows that the earth rotates around its axis with a period of a day (that is, they are precisely due to rotation). But that the earth's axis is also circular, not everyone knows the movement. This movement is called precession in mechanics. For clarity, see how the spinning top, spinning top rotates. The axis of rotation does not remain strictly vertical and motionless. She also draws a small circle with a movement, and the time to complete one revolution is much longer than for the revolution of the spinning top itself. So the time of the precessional rotation of the Earth's axis is 44 thousand years. In addition, the Earth's axis tends to sway from the equilibrium position in both directions by one and a half degrees with a period of 25,776 years. That is, there are mechanisms that shake the Earth's axis, and under certain conditions, a situation with the appearance of an unstable balance of the axis is quite possible. It can be the impact of a powerful meteorite, a comet, the deflection of a nearby massive cosmic body by the gravitational field, and even the growth of ice caps at the poles, which happens all the time. With the growth of ice caps at the poles, the Earth, as it were, takes on the shape of a dumbbell, which also leads to a position of unstable equilibrium. Most likely, it was the rotation of the Earth's axis, which occurred 11.5 thousand years ago, that was the cataclysm that caused irreversible phenomena, a sharp cooling in previously climatically favorable areas, with all the accompanying phenomena - earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, subsidence and uplift of the continents, i.e. e. "Global Flood".

It was in those times, 11-12 thousand years distant from us, that there was a great battle between the hostile Atlantean civilization and the Aryans in which our ancestors crushed the Atlanteans. Information about this battle through the initiates has found its way into our age. It was the rotation of the Earth's axis that caused the death of Atlantis. Part of the Atlanteans escaped by settling on the American continent and mixing with the red race, part on the African continent, subsequently founding the civilization of the Egyptians. Arias, according to a number of legends, come from the Northern Urals. Probably, Ural mountains contributed to survival, and a developed culture helped to overcome hundreds of years of life in the resulting icy desert. It is to that period that the beginning of the settlement of the Aryans on the planet can be attributed. One way or another, but the cataclysm forced them to look for new, more suitable lands and go on long hikes in search of those. By that time, the appearance of various languages ​​\u200b\u200bmust also be attributed. Before the cataclysm, the language on the planet was one, common.

So gradually our ancestors mastered the spaces first of the Trans-Urals, Siberia, then Europe. Part went to India, setting up a hearth there ancient culture. Part, through the strait between Asia and America, crossed to the American continent, assimilating with the red-skinned race, which remained partially the same. It was the most difficult period of formation, associated with battles for the territories being developed, with the hardships of campaigns, with the conduct of a nomadic lifestyle. In relation to the remnants of other races that survived after the rotation of the earth's axis and by that time were the cave dwellers of the Stone Age, the Aryans were the bearer of civilization. They managed to preserve part of the culture and the knowledge that they owned before. A guess about the origin of the Slavic people was able to put forward a scientist at the end of the 16th century - early XVII century Mavro Orbini, author of the book "Slavic Kingdom" claimed that the Slavic clan was much older than the Egyptian pyramids and “it was so numerous that it inhabited half the world” ...

Ancient Aryans and their migrations to the south. Society and culture of the ancient Aryans.

From the end of the II millennium BC. and to this day, the population of Iran and India, for the most part, ethnically descends from a special branch of the Indo-Europeans - speakers of the so-called languages. Indo-Iranian Indo group European languages, dividing, in turn, into two subgroups - Iranian and Indo-Aryan. Finding out the ancestral home of the common Indo-Iranian unity, the history of its disintegration into communities of Indo-Aryans and Iranian-speaking tribes, their habitats and the course of settlements is one of the most difficult problems in the history of antiquity. There is currently no generally accepted and fully proven solution to this problem. With a sufficient degree of certainty, it can only be said that by the end of the 3rd millennium BC, the Indo-Iranian ethno-linguistic unity still existed and inhabited the vast expanses of the steppes stretching from the Danube to Altai through the Northern Black Sea region and modern Kazakhstan.

At the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 2nd millennium, the proto-Iranian and proto-Indo-Aryan tribal communities separated from each other within this unity, as a result of which their languages, by the middle of the 2nd millennium, finally diverged into Indian and Iranian. The common self-name of the Indo-Iranians, preserved by both of their branches, was Arii (a term with the general meaning of “ritually pure, higher, best person”; terms with a literal meaning “real people” were taken as self-names by many ethnic groups of primitiveness). The ancient Aryans of this time were pastoralists who stood at the pre-state stage of development; earlier, their main occupation was agriculture (as evidenced by their preservation of common Indo-European agricultural terminology), but due to climatic changes, it faded into the background. During the 2nd millennium BC, the Aryan tribes settled in several waves to the south, occupying the territories of Iran and Northern India. Archaeological and linguistic materials incline researchers to assert that the Iranians came to Iran through the Caucasus rather than from Central Asia.

At a more hypothetical level, it is possible to recreate even more detailed picture. Apparently, at the beginning In the 2nd millennium BC, the ancestors of the Indo-Aryans settled in the western part of the steppes, in Ciscaucasia, and the ancestors of the Iranian-speaking tribes settled in the east. Judging by the relic representations that survived in the Avesta, the sacred book of the late Iranian religion, Zoroastrianism, the world originally known to the Iranian-speaking tradition stretched from Altai and Tien Shan to the sources of the Volga from east to west and from Western Siberia to the Amu Darya from north to south; this vast space was divided into seven parts, the central of which was Khvanirata - the birthplace of the Iranians themselves. Archaeologically, this is the time of the dominance of the Catacomb culture between the Dnieper and the Caucasus.

In the XVIII-XVII centuries. BC, as excavation data show, there is a massive displacement of tribes through the Caucasus to the south, along the route Ciscaucasia - Northern Iran - further east up to the Indus. The decisive role in this migration was apparently played by the Proto-Indo-Aryans of Ciscaucasia; on their way they ravaged the natives of Iran and drove them before them; they moved to the east, crowding each other and causing new chain migrations. As a result, a strip of Indo-Aryan settlement arose, stretching from the Caucasus through north-central Iran and Afghanistan to the borders of India, which were reached by the "advanced" detachments of the Indo-Aryan migration. On the way, some groups of Indo-Aryans lagged behind the main stream; in particular, one of their groups at that time came to the Armenian Highlands and settled on the Upper Euphrates, at the borders of Upper Mesopotamia, where it is recorded under the name "manda warriors" by the Near Asian sources of the 18th - 17th centuries. BC (in science they are known as the Asiatic Aryans). Hence the Aryans - "manda", entering into symbiosis with the Hurrians, penetrate deeply into the Hurrian world: from their midst in the 17th - 16th centuries. BC came the dynasts of Mitanni and some kingdoms of Hurrian Palestine). The name “Manda” was preserved behind the Upper Euphrates region of the Aryans, and the Armenian princely family that ruled it many centuries later was called Mandakuni after it. Part of the Indo-Aryans remained in the Ciscaucasia and existed there even in ancient times (as O.N. Trubachev’s studies showed, the Sinds and Meots, well known from ancient sources, turned out to be relic Indo-Aryans).

As a result, in the second quarter - the middle of the 2nd millennium, the zone of proto-Indo-Aryan settlement lies mainly to the south of the Caucasus-Caspian line, and the proto-Iranian - to the north of this line, so that there is a significant territorial gap between them. It was at this time that their languages, according to linguistics, diverged completely. For the steppe, this is the time of existence of two main archaeological cultures- multiroll in the steppes west of the Urals - the Volga and Andronovo in the territory of Kazakhstan; there is every reason to associate the latter with the pan-Iranian ethno-cultural unity.

In the XVI / XV - XIV centuries. BC. the second major migration of the ancient Aryans takes place approximately along the same circum-Caspian route as the first: the Andronovo tribes move west from behind the Volga and, mixing with local tribes, form a special log culture here (while Andronovo proper continues to the east of the Volga tradition); at the same time, Iranian-speaking tribes spread from beyond the Caucasus to northwestern and northern Iran, bringing with them the beginning of the Iron Age in Iran and the characteristic gray ceramics. At the end of this period of migration, the Iranian-speaking tribes moved eastward up to the later Bactria (the very name of Bactria means in Iranian "eastern country", so the Iranians came here from the west) and the Amu Darya valley inclusive. Probably, it was under their gradually increasing pressure that the Indo-Aryans moved to Northern India in the 14th-13th centuries. BC. In Iran, the Indo-Aryans were mostly forced out or assimilated by their newcomer Iranian-speaking relatives, although at the junction of their ranges a wide band of interstriped Iranian-Indo-Aryan existence and symbiosis remained, which included a significant part of modern Afghanistan. Thus, the same territory centered in the later Kandahar is known from Indian sources as the Indo-Aryan kingdom of Cambodia, and from Iranian sources as a country with the Iranian name Harahvatti (ancient Arachosia).

As a result of this, the second cycle of Aryan migrations, the settlement of the Iranian-speaking tribes took the following form, which was preserved in in general terms at the end of the 2nd - the beginning of the 1st millennium BC: to the east of the Urals and the Volga, the Andronovo culture lived - the ancestors of the Scythian-Saka tribes, known primarily from ancient data, and the tribes of the "Tura", about which the "Avesta" tells; to the west of the Urals and the Volga, the steppe was occupied by the bearers of the Srubna culture, the immediate ancestors of the tribes whom the Greeks generically called "Cimmerians"; most of west-central and northern Iran was occupied by the community, from which the Median and Persian (Western Iranian) tribes later emerged; under the Amu Darya-Hilmend, a group of tribes became isolated, known in science under the name "Avestan Aryans" (they called themselves "Arya", their territory - Aryanam-Vaija, "Space of the Aryans" and Aryoshyana, "Country of the Aryans", and it was with them that the events reflected in the "Avesta", the core of which was formed in their own environment). The Avestan Aryans were the descendants of the head part of the same migration flow that moved farthest to the east, the main part of which, remaining in central Iran, was represented by
Medo-Persian tribes. However, the Avestan Aryans, moving east, broke away from their Western Iranian relatives and found themselves separated from them by the regions of the South-Eastern Caspian Sea with the native non-Iranian population, described in the Avestan tradition as terrible and powerful enemies, and by the Desht-i-Kevir salt desert. This did not allow the Avestan Aryans to maintain contact with the Iranian-speaking tribes of the Iranian plateau and led to the fact that their history developed in two independent streams over the next few centuries.

As a result of the gradual assimilation of the aboriginal population of Iran by Iranian-speaking tribes, the entire space between the Tigris, Indus and Amu Darya around the middle of the 1st millennium began to be called "Aryanam", "Aryan (land)". The later form of this word is the modern "Iran". The early Iranian (as well as Indo-Aryan) societies are characterized by the same three-estate organization, which goes back to common Indo-Iranian practice: the society was divided into hereditary estates of priests, warriors and ordinary community members - pastoralists and farmers. At the level of tribal unions, the corresponding roles were often assigned to entire tribes: for example, in the six-tribe union of the Medes, priestly functions were monopolized by a tribe of magicians (whence the meaning of the word "magus" in European languages). The mentality of the Indo-Iranians was characterized by ritual-linguistic ethnic self-identification: those who carried out the correct rituals in a pure language, honoring the corresponding gods, were considered ethnically “their own”, regardless of blood relationship. This greatly facilitated the assimilation of the native population. The priests were considered the most revered class, but the power of the leader (later the king) was normally supposed to be carried out by someone from the class of warriors; leader and was seen primarily as the head of the military organization of the tribe.

The religious ideas of the Indo-Iranians are reconstructed according to the data on the beliefs of individual Indo-Iranian peoples. The gods were clearly divided into two classes - daivas and akhurs (Iranian asuras), to some extent opposed to each other (such a division is known in many mythologies, including Sumerian-Akkadian). By the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC, among the Indo-Aryans, and independently of them among the Iranians, this division was rethought as a value one: the gods of one of the classes began to be regarded as “good” (spreading joy, life, creation), and the other - as "evil" (those who spread death, suffering and destruction). At the same time, the Iranians regarded the Ahur as good gods, and the daives as evil, and the Indo-Aryans - on the contrary. Accordingly, the most powerful and unequivocally beneficent gods, such as, for example, Mithra, the god of the sun and human justice, the guardian of oaths, were enrolled by different peoples in different categories: among the Iranians, Mithra - akhura, among the Indo-Aryans - daiva. All Indo-Iranians revered Yama (Yima), the ancestor of mankind and the lord of the kingdom of the Dead, as well as the Wind, the Sun, the Moon and fire.

As the Avesta narrates, along the shores of the Voorukash (“Sea of ​​Milk” of the Mahabharata) and Rankha (Volga) seas, there were a number of Aryan countries - from Aryan-Vej in the far north to seven Indian countries in the south, beyond Rankha. The same seven countries are mentioned in the Rigveda and the Mahabharata as the lands between the Ganges and the Yamuna, in Kurukshetra. It is said about them: “The glorious Kurukshetra. All living beings, one has only to come there, get rid of sins, ”or“ Kurukshetra - the holy Altar of Brahma; there are holy brahmins - sages. Whoever settles in Kurukshetra will never know sorrow.” The question arises by itself: what are these rivers - the Ganges and the Yamuna, between which the country of Brahma lay? We have already found out that Ranha-Ganga is the Volga. But ancient Indian legends call the Yamuna the only major tributary of the Ganges, flowing from the southwest. Let's look at the map, and it will become clear to us that the ancient Yamuna is our Oka! Is it possible? Apparently - yes! It is no coincidence that in the course of the Oka here and there there are rivers with names: Yamna, Yam, Ima, Imyev. Moreover, according to the Aryan texts, the second name of the river Yamuna was Kala. So, until now, the mouth of the Oka is called by the locals the mouth of the Kala.

Mentioned in the Rig Veda and Mahabharata and other major rivers. So, not far from the source of the Yamuna (Oka), there was the source of the Sindhu River flowing to the east and south and flowing into the Chervona (Red) Sea (“Sindhu” in Sanskrit - stream, sea). But let us remember that in the Irish and Russian chronicles the Black Sea was called the Cheremny, that is, the Red Sea. So, by the way, is still called a part of its water area in the north. On the shores of this sea, the Sind people lived and the city of Sind (modern Anapa) was located. It can be assumed that the Sindhu of the ancient Aryan texts is the Don, whose sources are located not far from the source of the Oka. In the Volga-Oka interfluve there are many rivers, over the names of which millennia have not been in control. To prove this, no special efforts are required: it is enough to compare the names of the Poochya rivers with the names of the “sacred springs” in the Mahabharata, more precisely, in that part of it that is known as “Walking along the springs”. It is in it that a description is given of more than 200 sacred reservoirs of the ancient Aryan land of Bharata in the Ganges and Yamuna basins (as of 3150 BC):

It is also surprising that we are dealing not only with an almost literal coincidence of the names of the sacred springs of the Mahabharata and the rivers of Central Russia, but even with the correspondence of their mutual location. So, in both Sanskrit and Russian, words with the initial “F” are extremely rare: from the list of rivers of the Mahabharata, only one river has “F” at the beginning of the name - Falguna, which flows into Sarasvati. But, according to the ancient Aryan texts, the Saraswati is the only large river flowing north of the Yamuna and south of the Ganges and flows into the Yamuna at its mouth. It corresponds only to the Klyazma River located north of the Oka and south of the Volga. And what? Among hundreds of its tributaries, only one has a name starting with "F" - Falyugin! Despite 5 thousand years, this unusual name has not changed much.

Another example. According to the Mahabharata, south of the sacred forest of Kamyaka, the river Praveni (that is, the Pra-river) flowed into the Yamuna, with Lake Godovari (where “vara” is “circle” in Sanskrit). But what about today? As before, to the south of the Vladimir forests, the river Pra flows into the Oka and Lake God lies. Or another example. The Mahabharata tells how the sage Kaushika flooded the Para River during a drought, which was renamed in his honor for this. But then the epic reports that the ungrateful locals anyway, they call the river Para and it flows from the south to the Yamuna (i.e., to the Oka). And what? Until now, the Para River flows from the south to the Oka and, just like many thousands of years ago, it is called by the locals.

The description of springs five thousand years ago refers, for example, to the Pandya River, which flows near Varuna, a tributary of Sindhu (Don). But the Panda River even today flows into the largest tributary of the Don - the Vorona (or Varona) River. Describing the path of the pilgrims, the Mahabharata reports: "Von Jala and Upajala, rivers flowing into the Yamuna." Are there any rivers Jala (“jala” - “river” in Sanskrit) and Upa-jala flowing somewhere now? Eat. These are the Zhala (Tarusa) River and the Upa River, which flow into the Oka nearby. It was in the Mahabharata that the river Sadanapr (Great Danapr) - the Dnieper, flowing west from the upper reaches of the Ganges (Volga), was first mentioned.

But if the names of the rivers have been preserved, if the language of the population has been preserved, then, probably, the peoples themselves should be preserved? And, indeed, they are. So, in the Mahabharata it is said that to the north of the country of Pandya, lying on the banks of Varuna, is the country of Martyas. But it is precisely to the north of Panda and Vorona along the banks of Moksha and Sura that the land of Mordva (Mordva of the Middle Ages) lies - a people who speak the Finno-Ugric language with a huge number of Russian, Iranian and Sanskrit words. The country between Yamuna, Sindh, Upajala and Para was called A-Vanti. That's right - Vantit (A-Vantit) called the land of Vyatichi between the Oka, Don, Upa and Pair Arab travelers, Byzantine chronicles and Russian chronicles. The Mahabharata and the Rig Veda mention the Kuru people and Kurukshetra. Kurukshetra - literally "Kursk field", and it is in the center of it that the city of Kursk is located, where the "Tale of Igor's Campaign" places Kuryans - noble warriors.

The warlike people of Krivi are also mentioned in the Rig Veda. But Latvians and Lithuanians call all Russians the same way - “Krivi”, after the name of the neighboring Russian ethnic group Krivichi, whose cities were Smolensk, Polotsk, Pskov, and the current Tartu and Riga. But what about the ethnonym Rusa itself - the Russian land? Are they mentioned in ancient multi-thousand-year-old texts? Rusa, Rasa, Rasyan are constantly mentioned in the Rig Veda and Avesta. And as for the Russian land, here it is a matter of translation. The lands of Bharata, lying along the Ganges and Yamuna, on Kurukshetra, were otherwise called Sacred, Holy or Light Land, and in Sanskrit "Rusa" means "bright". Once Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin wrote: "The river of time in its aspiration carries away all the affairs of people ...".

We are faced with an amazing paradox when real rivers as if they stopped the flow of time, returning to our world those people who once lived along the banks of these rivers, and their deeds. We have returned our memory.

ANCIENT ARIA -
CIVILIZATION OF THE IMMORTALS,
CONQUERING THE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE

At that time, people were born already possessing noble qualities and amazing powers. In order to acquire special powers, people of this yuga did not have to do yogic practices or recite mantras that provide amazing achievements. These people, by mere devotion to the dharma, were Siddhapurusas, or people endowed with supernatural powers.
These were virtuous people those with knowledge and wisdom. They could naturally voluntarily move across the sky at the speed of the wind. All of them possessed eight supersensory achievements, now called supernatural, known as shrinking to a tiny size, growing to a gigantic size, the ability to become extremely heavy, the ability to become weightless, the ability to get everything you want, the ability to completely get rid of desires, the attainment of supreme achievements, gaining amazing flexibility.

When we hear the word "Slavs", a chain of images-associations is immediately born involuntarily: Slavs - paganism - sorcerers - magicians - divination - spirits of nature - epic heroes-warriors - round dances of girls, in embroidered kokoshniks - jumping over the fire on the night of Ivan Kupala - seeing off winter - carnival, etc.
However, these dear ideas about the Slavs, our ancestors, brought up with children's fairy tales, epics - refer to those who lived about 3 - 5 thousand years ago, before Christianization Slavic peoples. We will talk about the more distant ancestors, who lived about 5 thousand years ago and even more than 8 - 10 thousand years ago, in the pre-glacial period - about the Aryans, god-people who have an unearthly origin, who gave rise to most of the current earthly civilizations and cultures, in particular the Indo-Slavs
Indo-glories - the Aryans were the highest civilization of the immortals, the civilization of people-gods who owned the secrets of controlling space-time, could freely move to parallel dimensions, bending space, traveled on vimanas - aircraft resembling UFOs, owned ray weapons that surpassed the latest achievements of humanity in this area, actively explored the near and far space, mastered the technologies of alchemy, methods that surpassed modern nano-technologies, and traveled to the moon.
Professor of the Sanskrit Faculty of the University of Madras V.Ragavan believes that the heroes of the epic "Mahabharata", "Ramayana" - arias, our ancient ancestors - are representatives of a more ancient civilization.
“I came to the conclusion,” says V. Ragavan, “that there are living beings on other planets that visited the earth in 4,000 BC. This is indicated by the huge number of references in the Vedas, the ancient Indian epic and other Sanskrit texts about amazing flying machines and incredible weapons.

Aircraft of the Aryans

Indeed, in the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata", "Ramayana" and other texts in Sanskrit, countless times aircraft are mentioned - vimanas, ray weapons, which humanity has no analogues now - "divine lightning".
The Vimanika Shastra says that in the Satya Yuga (1728000 years) the first three classes of vimanas did not exist, i.e. the first vimanas did not contain gross material particles, i.e. they consisted of subtle-material elements that are not accessible to humanity at the current level.
But with the coarsening of human minds in the Treta Yuga (1296000 years), vimanas were created through mantras - sound vibrations and were called "mantrika".
In the Dvapara Yuga (864,000 years), vimanas were condensed and created through magic and tantric methods. Such vimanas were called "tantrika".
In the Kali Yuga (432,000 years), as human consciousness became denser and more and more immersed in the material and the loss of connection with the worlds of the gods, vimana manufacturing technologies became more coarsened, and vimanas became artificial, i.e. made of rough matter, they were called "kritaka".
In terms of the form of movement and speed of the vimana "mantrika" and "tantrika" there were no differences. There was a difference in the use of the energy of heaven and earth. According to the Saunaka Sutra, there were 53 types of vimanas of the tantrika class.

“According to the ancient sages, in the Krita-yuga, or the first age, there were no three classes of vimanas.
The Vimana Chandrika says: “I will speak in general terms about the varieties of vimanas. In the Treta Yuga, when people were versed in mantras and powerful hymns, vimanas were created through mantric knowledge.
In the Dvapara Yuga, when people developed significant tantric knowledge, vimanas were produced through tantric knowledge.
Since the knowledge of mantras and tantras became insufficient in the Kali Yuga, the vimanas created at that time are known as kritaka, or artificial ones.
Bodhananda Vritti, Commentary on the Vimanika Shastra

Thus the ancient seers mention in the shastras three classes of vimanas.

The history of the creation of the vimana by the ancient Aryans

According to the Vimanika Shastra, the art of creating vimanas was sent down to the Aryan sages as a divine revelation by the Great God himself, the creator of our universe, who taught the sages the art of mantras.

“The human mind has condensed, and the concept of Vedic truths, the inner essence of man and supernatural forces impoverished. Due to the fact that Dharma, or righteousness, has cracked, people have lost the ability to fly in the sky with the speed of the wind.
The great God wished to give the twice-born the ability to correctly understand the Vedas and graciously descended to Earth in the form of a young man facing south. Through Sanaka and other initiates, He classified the mantras of the Vedas and then gave them Vedic perception.
The divine youth-god, delighted with the ascetics' ability to perceive, praised them, saying: “From now on, having comprehended Knowledge, you will be known as seers (rishis). You will become perfect in the art of sound vibrations and live in celibacy.
You will begin to worship the heavenly Goddess of the Vedas, master her energy and, immersed in samadhi, approach the Great God - the Creator and know his plan.
Having known, you will create for the benefit of mankind moral codes(Dharmashastras), mystical stories (Puranas and Itihasas), as well as the sciences of physics and mathematics. As far as celestial travel is concerned, you will pass on the art of building a vimana. In order for the vimanas to reach the speed of the wind, you, on the basis of the Kalpashastras, or scientific treatises develop methods.
Later, the munis created, in accordance with the Vedas, the Dharmashastras, or codes of ethics, epics, chronicles, ritual manuals, treatises on the arts and sciences, codes of rites and sacrifices, and distributed them among the people. It is said that among these writings of the ancient seers, there are six treatises on the construction of vimanas. They describe three classes of vimanas, known as consisting of sound vibrations, magical and artificial, capable of flying anywhere.
Bodhananda Vritti, Commentary on the Vimanika Shastra

Description of vimanas in ancient texts

Various texts such as Ramayana, Mahabharata often and in detail describe vimanas that move on high altitude by air on vortex engines and operate using mercury. Vimanas are described as double-deck aircraft with round portholes. Outwardly, they resembled a modern UFO. They move "faster than the wind", making melodious sounds. Vimanas were stored in special places - hangars.
According to the descriptions of the Ramayana, the Aryas-Indo-glories traveled on the vimanas, moved both within the Earth and to other planets of the Greater Cosmos. There is also an episode detailing the journey to the moon and the battle with other flying ships belonging to another race. The Mahabharata also contains no less amazing descriptions: “Rama ascends into the sky with a terrible roar in his amazing chariot, surrounded by clouds of smoke and fog.”
An important source describing the achievements of the Aryans is the Vimanika Shastra, a text found in 1875 under mystical circumstances. "Vimanika-shastra" is attributed to the sage Masarishi Bharadvaja, who lived in the 4th century BC, and wrote it down in a state of trance.
Professor of aeronautics Krshna Murthy from the research institute in Bangalore, studying ancient texts, concluded that the gods, aliens from outer space, taught the construction of the Vimana flying machines, the Aryans. Ancient texts are full of numerous descriptions of the battles of the gods who fought on the vimanas. “Pushpaka's chariot resembles the sun and belongs to my brother. This wonderful machine itself is transported through the air to any place at any distance, ”says one of the chapters of the Ramayana.
The Mahabharata often mentions the "dart of Indra" - a beam of light emanating from a round reflector, which is aimed at any target, guided by sound. It was with it that Krishna struck the vimana of his enemy Salva.
Vimanas and their possibilities are described in such texts as:
1. "Vimana Chandrika"
2. "Vyomana Tantra"
3. "Yantra-kalpa"
4. "Kheta-yana-pradipika"
5. "Vyoma-yana-arkaprakashika"
6. "Kriya-sara"
7. "Yantra Sarvasra"
8. "Manibhadra Karika"
9. Shaunaka Sutra
10. "Lohatantra" and others.

Possibilities of vimanas

The Vimanas described in the Vimanika Shastra possessed abilities that are now inaccessible to earthlings:
~ the power of "guda" allowed the vimana to be invisible to the enemy
~ the power of "paroksha" could disable other aircraft
~ the power of "pralaya" could emit electric charges and destroy obstacles
Using the energies of space, vimanas could also bend space and create visual or real effects - the starry sky, clouds, etc.
According to the descriptions, Vimanas mainly use seven sources of energy: fire, earth, air, the energy of the sun, the moon, water and space:

“There are seven and the moon, water and sky. These seven types of energy are called solar heat, solar electric dozen, kuntinee and source power.
"Saunaka Sutra"

Vimana movement

“The Vimana can perform 12 kinds of spectacular movements, also 12. These movements and forces include: forward movement, shuddering, ascent, descent, circular movement, movement at high speed, movement around something, movement sideways, movement backwards, anti-clockwise movement, full stop and demonstration of tricks.
Bodhananda Vritti, Commentary on the Vimanika Shastra

The authors of ancient Indian treatises write about amazing aircraft and their abilities as a matter of course. Vimanas are said to have 32 supernatural powers.

Unusual abilities of vimanas

The Vimanika Shastra lists 32 secrets that an aeronaut should learn from knowledgeable mentors. Only such a person can be entrusted with the management aircraft, and nothing else. These secrets provide the key to mastering supernatural powers.
All these secrets are explained by Siddhanadha as follows:
- mastery of the art of mantras, medicinal herbs, hypnotic powers, powers of magic,
- ability to create visual effects,
- destroy enemy ships with the force of vibration
- know routes and air currents,
- own the secret powers of the sun's rays and be able to use them to hide, to be invisible,
- by manipulating various energies of space with the help of a system of mirrors, be able to mask the vimana,
- have the ability to attract energy from the sun and primary elements, and with the help of it to bend space, changing its topological characteristics - dimensionality, etc.
- immobilize hostile energies, completely depriving them of the ability to perceive
- create visual effects in space, such as a starry sky, etc.
- create a thunderous rumble, and suppress hostile energies with the power of vibration
- move in zigzags like a snake
- instantly “transfer” vimana from one place to another, using the knowledge of astral energy flows
- create a shock wave that generates shaking vibrations
- be out of reach due to fast rotation
- hear conversations and sounds coming from other vimanas
- by means of a "photographic yantra" installed on board, to receive television images of any objects outside the vimana, including what is happening on the ground, to track the approach of other ships
- merge with the sky, take the form of a cloud, become indistinguishable
- paralyze hostile creatures on other aircraft

Air routes

Also in the Vimanika Shastra, in the chapter on air routes, five atmospheric layers of space and 519,800 air routes are described, along which the vimanas travel through the seven worlds (lokas). These lokas are called: Bhu-loka, Bhuvar-loka, Svar-loka, Maha-loka, Jana-loka, Tapa-loka and Satya-loka.

“According to Saunaka, there are five layers in the sky called Rekhaapathha, Mandala, Kakshya, Shakti, and Kendra.
In these five atmospheric layers there are 519,800 airways by which the vimanas travel through the Seven Lokas or worlds known as Bhur-loka, Bhuvar-loka, Swar-loka, Maha-loka, Jnana-loka, Tapa-loka, Satya-loka. .
Bodhananda Vritti, Commentary on the Vimanika Shastra

Air vortices, which are prescribed
viman pilots beware
In the chapter "Air whirlwinds" it is said about five currents of energy destructive for the vimanas, which the pilot must beware of and lead the vimana to a safe place from them.

“Aavartaa, or whirlwinds of air, are innumerable in the upper layers. Five of them are on the routes of the vimanas. These whirlwinds are destructive to the vimanas and should be avoided.
The balloonist must be aware of these five sources of danger, and be able to lead the vimana away from them to a safe place.
Bodhananda Vritti, Commentary on the Vimanika Shastra

Energy sources

In the chapter "Sources of Energy", it is said about the energy that makes vimanas move and about seven types of devices that produce and extract these energies. These include:
- Devices that provide absorption of solar energy
- extracting energy from opposing forces (from alien aircraft)
- main driving force
- twelve groups of solar forces that help to carry out takeoff, landing, absorption of solar heat, curbing someone else's power and moving in space.

The amazing information about vimanas, which exists in a huge number of sacred texts of ancient India, is of tremendous value as documented, material evidence that our ancestors, the Aryans, in ancient times had colossal achievements both in the field of spiritual knowledge, and in magical and scientific and technical fields. areas. The descriptions of vimanas that have come down to us are late fragments containing tiny grains of that truly limitless potential, those mystical possibilities that our ancestors, the Aryans, of Indo-glory possessed.

According to Valmiki-ganita, the 1st and 2nd sections of the Rekhaapatha layer are suitable for the vimanas of our world (Bhu-loka). In the Mandala layer, sections 3 and 5 are suitable for the vimanas of the inhabitants of the astral world and the world of the gods (Bhuvar-loka, Swar-loka and Maha-loka). The 2nd and 5th sections of the Kakshya layer are suitable for the Jnana-loka vimanas. For the inhabitants of Brahma-loka, according to the shastras, the 3rd and 11th sections of the Kendra layer are most convenient.

In the Re-khapathha layer, the "Shaktyaavarta" or energy vortex is found. In Mandala-pathha there is a wind whirlwind. In Kakshyaa-pa-thha there is a whirlwind of sunbeams. In Shakti-pathha there is Shytyaavarta, or whirlwind of cold streams. As for Kendra-pathha, there is a gharshanaavartha or whirlwind created by the destructive force.

Who are the Aryans? This question excites modern minds. However, history buffs can still understand it somehow. It became relevant under the rule of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. The German theory of "pure race" - a consequence of the error of the researcher Max Müller - still haunts some people. Some are extremely negative about it, especially in our country, while others are trying to find a rational grain. However, another question is now relevant: "Who are the Slavic-Aryans?" It surprises professional historians, sociologists and political scientists very much. Let's try to figure out where this term came from and who the arias are.

The concept of "Slavs"

We will try to reason objectively, one might say, with scientific point view, how generally legitimate to say so. Slavs are an ethnic group, not a people. The difference is that an ethnos means a set of peoples that have common historical roots. As early as the beginning of the 1st millennium AD, the Slavs were divided into three branches: western (modern Kashubians, Lusatians, Czechs, Slovaks, etc.), southern (modern Serbs, Croats, Macedonians, etc.), eastern (modern Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians). Of course, the name of many historians was different: Antes, Sklavins, etc. There is no reliable information in history about a single Proto-Slavic people. Only linguists argue about it on the basis of an analysis of linguistic similarities and differences. It is by them that the approximate separation of one group of Slavs from another, the influence of other cultures, localities, etc. is determined. There is not a single real scientist who would use the term "Slavic-Aryans" in his work. Where does such a myth come from? Let's try to figure it out.

Myths and reality

Two unrelated concepts - "Slavs" and "Aryans" - were united by a certain Alexander Khinevich. His followers carried the idea to the masses. Despite the fact that Slavs and Aryans are the same incompatible concepts, such as, for example, "yellow is cold", many people liked the idea. In our country, “Rodoverstvo” is gaining popularity, that is, faith in ancestors. Calendars, holidays, time zones, phraseological units, etc. are rewritten to fit the fashion trend. There is an explanation for this: communism, with its rejection of Christianity, gave rise to several unspiritual generations who refused to accept Christianity during its revival. And the "Slavic-Aryans" came in handy. In addition, a new religion, neo-paganism, has become "true", alternative. In fact, it turned into a protest public system. And this attracted young romantics at all times. Add here the rejection of morality, rituals - and we get an ideal religion. The main postulate - "we are believers, but nothing is required of us" - made the idea of ​​neo-paganism attractive. Against this background, it is not difficult to inspire the idea of ​​not just “rodoverism”, but Slavic-Aryanism.

Who are the arias

The study of this concept began in the XIX century. At that time, distorted translations of Indian shastras began to reach Europe. Serious work on this issue belongs to Arthur Avalon, who first began to explore this topic. The mass popularity of the author led to the growth of imitators, less talented, who began to replicate "sensations" in their works.

It is a mistake to believe that the Aryans are a single race, a nation. In the Indian shastras, there is indeed a mention of a certain single pra-people, who is allegedly the ancestor of all past people. This idea was developed by the Frenchman Arthur de Gobineau, who created the racial theory. He called the Aryans united people from which all the rest originated. The idea received not just popularity, but large-scale development under the rule of Adolf Hitler. He modified it by declaring the superiority of the Germans over everyone else, and included the Germans among the direct "clean" descendants, in contrast to the others - "dirty, half-blooded".

In fact, there was no such thing as in relation to a single people. So where do myths come from? Who are the Aryans? They weren't invented artificially.

In the oldest set of Indian laws - "Manavadharmashastra", the term "arya" is translated as "noble". So the representatives of the higher castes were called - Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas. That is, these are the three highest castes of the proto-people, in modern terms - "the cream of society." In addition to the Aryans, this people also had two other castes - Shudras and Chandalas.

Arya - friend or foe?

Despite this, the admissibility of the existence of a single Proto-Indo-European people is not canceled. Many are European and close to each other. All of them belong to the Indo-European group. Therefore, it can be assumed that there was still a single people. Historians believe that this concept should be considered a group of tribes of Ancient Iran. Literally, "ary" is translated from as "friend." And at the same time as an "enemy". The opposite meaning of the same word is a common practice in ancient languages. That is, it could be both a friend and an enemy. Perhaps it was a man from a foreign tribe. That is, an Aryan is a foreigner coming from another tribal community. He can be really a friend and then become an enemy. The hypothesis is confirmed by the presence of the god Aryaman in the Vedic pantheon. He is just responsible for friendship and hospitality.

Ukraine - the birthplace of the Aryans?

Most researchers today are inclined to believe that the Aryans lived on the territory of Ancient Iran. No need to tie it to a modern Shiite state in the Middle East. Its territory is relatively small. Ancient Iran is the vast territory of the Iranian plateau, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, the north of the Caucasus and the Black Sea. That is why among Ukrainian historians there is an opinion that the Proto-Europeans lived precisely on the territory modern Ukraine more than 5 thousand years ago.

The hypothesis of a single great people

There is a hypothesis that a single pra-people (Indo-Europeans, Aryans) was divided into two branches: Iranian and Indo-Aryan. The term "Iran" itself means "land of the Aryans". In confirmation of this, scientists have proved the similarity of the Iranian Avesta. According to the theory, a group separated from united Iran, possibly one of the tribes, and around 1700-1300. BC e. She went to India, where she stayed forever. If this is true, then the theory of the origin of the Proto-Europeans from the territory of Ukraine has the right to exist.

linguistic theory

Linguists also support the territory of origin of the Aryans from Eastern and Central Europe, since here common language branches into many dialects, which is logical given its natural development in one territory. In India, there is only one Indo-European branch, which speaks more of migration than of origin and development. In addition, here the aliens encountered a group speaking local languages, which later affected the development of the language as a whole.

Kurgan hypothesis

Archaeologists are also inclined to believe that the Aryans originally lived in the Black Sea region. Artifacts of the famous Yamskaya culture are cited as evidence. It is believed that the first chariots were invented here, which made it possible to capture quickly huge areas. Such theories, unfortunately, give rise to pseudoscientific fabrications based on scientific facts. Like, the direct descendants of the Aryans are Russians, Germans, Ukrainians or anyone else. Against this background, various Slavic-Aryans appear. It is possible that common ancestors originated from the territory of the Black Sea region, but later they settled and divided over time into many other peoples, and subsequently their descendants returned to these lands. Followers of the exclusivity and "purity" of one nation in comparison with others manipulate these facts, tying the ancient single root to only one leaf, and not to the whole tree.

Cultural heritage of the Aryans

The Aryans left behind many written monuments. These are the Vedas, Avesta, Mahabharata, Ramayana. From nomadic people they became settled farmers. Raised cows and horses. They were familiar with irrigation, knew how to forge copper and gold products. Bow and arrows were used as the main weapons. They did not have a pronounced caste system, as in India. However, the top of the hierarchy - priests and aristocrats - enjoyed great influence.

conclusions

Summing up, we can say that there may never have been a single race of Aryans. Most likely, thanks to a certain group of tribes, perhaps not even close relatives, extended its influence over vast territories. Hence the emergence of a single Indo-European language of peoples who have never been close historically.

However, there is no unequivocal answer to the question of who the Aryans are. Every day we all move away from it, and scientific theories are replaced by pseudoscientific statements. It is possible that the Aryans are a people who spread their influence. But it is possible that this is a group of unrelated, but culturally similar tribes that settled on different sides of a single center.

Many European and Oriental languages ​​are close to each other. All of them belong to a single "Aryan" or Indo-European language family. However, historians are still arguing whether the "Aryans" actually existed.

Aryan etymology

The Aryans are the ancient peoples of India and Iran who spoke the Aryan languages ​​that are part of the Indo-European language family. The etymology of their self-name is very mysterious. In the 19th century, a hypothesis was put forward that the ethnonym "Aryan" came from the words "nomad" or "farmer". Already in the 20th century, scientists believed that the Indo-European ar-i̯-o- means “one who is hospitable to ari”, and “ari” can be translated from ancient Indian as “friend” or, conversely, “enemy” (the opposite meaning of the same same words or related words characteristic of ancient languages).

The unifying meaning can also be "a tribesman from a foreign clan", since he could be both a friend and an enemy. Thus, the concept of "Aryan" denoted a person who is part of the ethnic totality of the various tribes of the Aryans. The hypothesis is confirmed by the presence in the Vedic pantheon of the god Aryaman, who is responsible for friendship and hospitality.

Another vector of etymological research leads us to a different meaning of the word "Aryan" - "freeborn" and "noble", which came from the Semitic languages. It is possible that the rudiments of this word were preserved in the Old Irish language, in which "aire" is translated as "noble" or "free", as well as in some others.

Where did the arias come from

Recent studies show that the ancient pra-Aryans were originally a single people, and only in the second millennium BC they were divided into two branches - Iranian and Indo-Aryan. The very word "Iran" has a connection with the word "Aryan", and means "land of the Aryans". At the same time, it is important to take into account that modern Iran is only a small area on the map of those vast territories that were occupied by ancient Iranian peoples: Iranian plateau, middle Asia, Kazakhstan, steppes north of the Caucasus and the Black Sea and others. In addition, the commonality of the Indo-Aryan and Iranian branches proves the similarity of the sacred texts - the Iranian Avesta and the Indian Vedas. To date, there are several versions of where the arias came from.

According to the linguistic hypothesis, the Aryans migrated to India and settled there around 1700-1300. BC. The version is based on the study of ancient languages ​​and customs reflected in historical sources. Linguistics shows that India was not the homeland of the Aryans - as a rule, in the region of origin of any language family there are many different languages ​​\u200b\u200band dialects of the same family, and in India there is only one Indo-Aryan branch of languages. In Central and Eastern Europe, by contrast, there are hundreds of varieties of Indo-European languages. It is logical to assume that it was here that the Indo-European family of languages ​​\u200b\u200band peoples originated. In addition, having come to India, the Aryans encountered its indigenous population, speaking the languages ​​​​of another family, for example, Munda (Austroasiatic family) or Dravidian - languages ​​​​from which archaic borrowings in Sanskrit were taken.

Most recognized in this moment- the barrow hypothesis. According to her, the ancestral home of the Indo-Europeans was the Volga and Black Sea lands, where archaeologists recorded the Yamnaya culture. Its representatives were the first to build war chariots, which allowed them to capture more and more territories and spread their influence over the entire Eurasian continent.

Pseudo-scientific speculation

In addition to academic versions, there are dozens of fantastic ones: that the Aryans, in fact, are inhabitants of the mythical Hyperborea, who came from the Arctic; that they are the immediate ancestors of the Germans, Russians or someone else. As a rule, such theories are in demand among nationalist-minded communities to build a pseudo-history of a certain people. The main goal is to "extend" the history of their country.

Aryan culture

The Aryans or Indo-Iranians left a rich cultural legacy. In addition to the most important written heritage, such as the Vedas and Avesta, the later Mahabharata and Ramayana, the Aryans also left monuments of material culture. Originally a semi-nomadic people, they focused primarily on raising cows and horses. The main weapon of the Aryans were arrows. These peoples were familiar with irrigation systems, forging copper and gold products.

The Aryan family was patriarchal, in each family there were other members, slaves and cattle in addition to the head of the family. Families united into clans, communities and tribes, sometimes at war with each other. That three-class social system that became widespread in ancient Iranian and Indian societies was not as strongly developed among the Aryans, however, its main features were present. The top of the hierarchy were priests, future brahmins, and kshatriya aristocrats who commanded the common people. The Aryans were a warlike people, extracting land in search of new lands and pastures.

Origin

The origin of races before the 19th century was a historical mystery. However, at the beginning of the century, scientists discovered the commonality of many European languages ​​​​with the languages ​​\u200b\u200bof India and Iran. All these languages ​​were called Aryan language family- later it will be called Indo-European. The self-name of the peoples of ancient India and Iran - the Aryans, was mistakenly understood as the common name of all Indo-European tribes, and archaeologists soon found the so-called Yamnaya culture, which, thanks to the construction of war chariots, quickly expanded its linguistic, cultural and political influence from a small area within the borders of some the lands of modern Poland, Ukraine and southern Russia to the scale of an entire empire - from Portugal to Sri Lanka.
Despite the fact that no separate race of Aryans existed, and the mixing of physiological characteristics with linguistic ones was pseudoscientific (the peoples of Tajikistan, Persia, the gypsies, and even the Veddas, who are Australoids), were among the speakers of Indo-European languages), scientists began to believe that the community of languages ​​is equal to the community of race. A well-known mistake by the German researcher Max Muller, who accidentally referred to a non-existent " Aryan race", led to the spread in scientific world opinions about the existence of the Aryan race, and later the emergence of Nazi racial theories.

Who are the Aryans? modern science confidently says that these are related tribes that lived a hundred thousand million years ago in the territory of Persia and India. Okay, at least she partially recognizes geography.

Pictured: Aryavarta. The country of the Aryans, described in the Rigveda.

Today, we can already say with confidence that Persia, like India, was inhabited by people genetically identical to the Slavs. And we also know that the Indians themselves say that a long time ago, white Gods came to them from the north, and taught them everything that they then began to teach the rest of the world. And there are thousands of irrefutable proofs that those whites came to Hindustan not from heaven, but from the Russian north, from the Kola Peninsula, Karelia, Vologda and Arkhangelsk.

It appears that we are talking about our ancestors, common to some of the current Indians, and numerous small tribes of white people, preserved in the mountains in the Caucasus, northern Iran, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

By the way, in I-RA-ne, there is a tribe that calls itself the Khazars. And this white tribe, with pronounced Slavic features, clearly having common cultural roots with us.
That's why I don't believe that Khazars are Jews. No. Modern DNA genealogy quite unequivocally defines the Jews as coming from the north of Africa, the closest relatives of the AR-a-bov. They moved to Eur(e)opu in the same way as the Arabs are moving there now. They had nothing to do with the Khazars and do not have. The real Khazars, this is one of the Slavic tribes, and they never knew the Jewish faith.

Here they are, the "terrible" Khazars:

Well, now what will our authoritative iverologists say about the Khazars belonging to the Jews? One people? Even a DNA test is not required to say with confidence: - NO.
And the reading of the word "Khazars" (Khazary), most likely, is distorted by Latin transcription. It will be correct to read K(x)-AS-Ary, where K is a diphthong sound, preserved, for example, in the Georgian language and some Turkic dialects, such as Kazakh.
Well, there is not a single documentary evidence of the existence of the Khazar Khaganate within the limits in which it was placed from TOR. And in general, within any limits. There is Scythia, Sarmatia, Mithridatia, Nesiotia, anything you like, except Khazaria ...

But Khazaria seemed to be! Or is the "Song of the Prophetic Oleg" lying to us? Well... Actually, all these "ancient" epics raise great doubts about the authenticity, and besides, the Khazars could have been just a small tribe at that time. So small that they were not marked even on the maps.

You can check yourself. In the place where the Historians placed Khazaria, there was always the kingdom of the Pyatigorsk Circassians (Chirkassi Petigorski). According to the current - Terek Cossacks.
So, the Khazars in Rus' were just one of many tribes, most likely South Russians, from the Kuban, or the North Caucasus, but they are part of the Kuban Cossacks, Circassians, or Alans.
Do you remember the name of the most famous Aryan, the King of Persia, the invincible commander?
His name was D'Arius!

Darius the Great. Does anyone doubt that he is God? He is sitting, taller than standing people ... And all sorts of secret devices in the office ...
But here's the bad luck ... Once the invincible Darius was defeated by the King of Scythia Ariant. Arius + ANT. Anty = Russians, which means that the name of the glorious Scythian king is translated into understandable as “Russian Aryan”. And who would argue!

Everything converges, these are the descendants of the Aryans, and the memory of the newcomers from the north has been preserved in many sources, including written ones. And the attitude of the ancestors to the Aryans was completely unambiguous. In any language, in any culture, an Aryan is:
- Mine,
- Free,
- Noble (descendant of the Gods),
- Freeborn
- Relative,
— Noble,
- Saint,
- Comrade,
— pious,
— Courageous.
- Friend.

H one epithet with negative attitude! Everyone loved the Aryans.
The Armenians to this day, Ara is a Friend, and the self-name of the Armenians suggests that they are also Aryans. Arius + Man (man) Ahriman = Armenian (in). And among the Hindus, Aryaman is the deity of friendship, hospitality and weddings! Oh how!

And here is another curious observation: Buddhists call themselves "Aryapuggala." This translates as "Aryan people", but it is difficult to convince us of this the first time. "Scarecrow" then where to put it? And the point, most likely, is not that someone was trying to intimidate someone. Probably, all the statues, including those in the garden, were called this or another single-root word to scare away the boys from the gang of Mishka Kvakin (birds are not afraid anyway).

You can also remember about the Amu Darya river, which flows through the territory of Tartaria, where Tamerlan ruled, who was also a direct descendant of the Gods, and was appointed ruler by the Gods. Only he did not like the word "Tartary", cosmopolitanism is everything, therefore the "Tartarians" themselves called their country TURan. And quite a suitable word for itself, if you know that Tur was a sacred animal in Rus'. Otherwise Veles. Oh, it's a pity that real tours have not survived to this day. The latter, they say, was soaked by Vladimir Monomakh himself in 1627. in Polania. However, miraculously he did not die.

The Hindus also have H'are Krishna, who is probably Arius Kryshen, and also H'are Vishnu, perhaps the call sign of Aria Vyshen, and of course, H'are RA - MA. RA - God the Sun, MA - Mother, as the Sun - the Creator of all things, father and mother in a single incarnation. Everything is entirely Vedism, more precisely the Slavic sun-centric worldview, which is mistakenly considered a proto-religion, calling it paganism and shamanism.

And this is not a mythological consciousness, and not superstition. This is the knowledge of RA. Integral single, not divided into branches and sub-sectors, knowledge about the structure of the world, and the laws of its harmonious existence and development.

Peace, in the sense of not the absence of war, but peace, like the universe, this is sacred mountain The measure, which was told to the Indians by the Gods who came from the north, and which was located in the center of the Earth, in Arctida - Hyperborea.

Knowing one feature of the ancestors' worldview, one can trace a lot of wonderful things that lie on the surface, which help to penetrate the meaning of the words that we use daily, using them as a set of sounds. This feature is that a certain positive concept acquired the opposite meaning when simply reading it backwards. But it's so logical! Then many words are clear, with the root AR.

If RA is the Sun, then AR is the complete opposite. This is darkness. And if Ra is good, then Ar, of course, is evil.
MARS - God of war, and even if you read it in the opposite direction, it comes out in general: - SRAM. Well, that's how it is, isn't it?

Then the Archangels are the dark side of the Angels? After all, it could be that the word “angel” was pronounced with a breath, “h’angel”! But somewhere I have already met that "Allah" was originally pronounced as "h'alla'h". Then from which side do not read, it turns out the same thing. An ideal God that... All sides in one vessel...

You can speculate about the meaning of the word "gate". In RA - that, or the entrance to Paradise. And if vice versa, V AR-ta, or VATRA. Do you know that the concept of "bonfire" used to have many different designations? So. A bonfire, like a flame, was previously denoted in Rus' by the word “vatra”. It is still used in Ukraine and Belarus to this day. Then, if you do not deny the possibility of existence, which at first glance is impossible, everything begins to fill with meaning.
This is no longer a set of meaningless sounds, these are images that, by their sound alone, give an idea of ​​the essence of an object, concept, or event. The gate is the path to heaven, and the gate, on the contrary, is the path to hell. Gehenna is fiery, isn't it? Just do not fill this word with such a negative meaning. Hell was invented by Christian preachers, whose goal was the unconditional subjugation of the masses, with the help of intimidation. In modern terms, with the help of terror.
But in fact, the opposite did not mean something terrible at all. It assumed the existence of a different point of view, in modern terms - pluralism. Only and everything. No hell, with sinners in frying pans, and in boiling tar.

Then how can one interpret the meaning of the word Aryavarta? (see the picture at the very beginning). It can be read as a fiery Aria, i.e. the country of the Aryans, where it is hot (of course, after Vologda there is hell). And it is possible and how the Country is hell (again, figuratively speaking) for the Aryans. But doesn't the European name of our country T-AR-T-Aria have a similar meaning? Tartar... Tar-tar-ry... Who would benefit from making the world tremble with horror, at the sounds of Tar-tar-ia?
Surely not those who made every effort to make the “demo(but)cratic” world groan at the mere mention of the USSR? Has the situation changed now? In the Baltic States, trenches are already being dug on farms, in anticipation of "Russian aggression"!
And after all, everything is just… TART. Know what is TRT? No? And the cake? So here it is! The word cake, obviously not foreign, It returned to us from Evreopy like a boomerang. At first it was a sacrificial cake of the Slavs, brought to the Sun-God RA on the day of the vernal equinox (Yarov day, aka Shrovetide) March 21-22 (s) (the name of the month appeared thanks to the God of war Mars / Shame).

Tarta. He's a cake. If the tarta belongs to the Aryan, then whose is it? Correct answer: Tarta aria, i.e. Tartaria.

Verily, nothing is new under this Sun. Just as in the Middle Ages children were frightened by Tartaria west of the Danube, so now they are frightening Russia, the mentally unstable part of the Jewish (o / a) cash. Therefore, it is necessary to know the history ...
Or are you tired of living?

Addition:

The materials and results of research by A. Klesov and his associates, scientists of genetics to determine the haplogroup - tribal affiliation, made it possible to destroy many myths created around the history of peoples.

MYTH FIRST - THE TRUE ARYANS ARE THE GERMAN PEOPLES, and the Slavs have recently come from dugouts.

genetic research showed that more than 50% -70% of the population are Eastern Slavs and these are direct descendants of the ancient Aryan tribes of the R1a genus, who lived on the territory of Eurasia. Modern Germans have only 18% descendants of the Aryans. In addition, it is clear to archaeologists that the Slavs of the Aryans already lived in cities 3500 years ago.

MYTH TWO:- THE SLAVES AND THEIR ANCESTORS ARE CULTURALLY BACKGROUND.

Of the six world religions, the Proto-Slavs created three: Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and improved the fourth - Christianity. They laid the Vedic Indian, Tripoli, Etruscan, Hittite, Cretan-Mycenaean and Greek civilizations. For more than 5 thousand years, the Slavic-Aryans had a written language from which the writing of many countries of Eurasia originated, they left an infinite number of valuable written sources.

MYTH THREE: - "TRIPOLSKAYA CULTURE" - as if created by unknown peoples.

Geneticists have established that "Trypillia" civilization Aryan origin, direct descendants of the "Trypillians" still live and speak dialects of the Russian language.

MYTH FOUR - THE "MONGOLIAN YOKE" IN Rus' IS IMPRINTED IN THE GENETICS OF THE SLAVES.

Genetics did not find any traces of the presence of "Mongolian genes" among the Slavs - up to 75% of the male population of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus have clear genetic evidence of origin from the great-ancestor of the R1a genus, who lived more than 3500 years ago. In addition, direct relatives belonging to the genus R1a are located in India, Kyrgyzstan, Germany, the Balkans, even on the islands of England and many other countries in which Slavic Aryans lived at different times, of which there are now more than 500 million people on the planet.

MYTH FIVE:- THE JEWS LEAD THEIR GENERATION "FROM ABRAHAM"

Genetic practice has established that those who consider themselves a "biological Jew", go to the synagogue, preach Zionism, may be by blood Eastern Slav-Aryan, Turkic and even Chinese. In total, out of 18 haplogroup genera, seven are found in today's Jews.
