Pre-Historic Aryan Origin And Migration

Aryan.

This is a word which clouds the minds of many: What is an Aryan? Am I an Aryan? There are both simple and complex answers to this question, the simple answer being that an Aryan is someone whose ancestors migrated to the continents of Europe and Asia during the Bronze Age. Our journey starts, as far as we can anthropologically date, around the Southern Urals. These people spoke a common Proto Indo-European language, worshipped the same gods, and had a complex class structure. It is theorized that they migrated some time around 4000 BCE, or at the beginning of the Bronze Age. This language brought to us by our Aryan migrators, soon stemmed into a complex tree of linguistic relatives, with each branch representing a new culture. Within this tree you have the Germanic, Celtic, Illyrian, Slavic, Italic (Roman), and Baltic racial subgroupings. These subgroupings, however, stem from the same central religion and language: that of our Proto Indo-European (Aryan) ancestors.

The first homeland of the Aryans was in the Arctic North, specifically in the northern most reaches of the Eurasian continent. Not much is known of this first homeland, but we do know that as the weather in the North became more glacial, these people migrated south to the Southern Urals. In a region known as Arkaim the Aryans founded a second homeland, and from there later split off and created most of the world civilizations we know today. Some went West to create the Yamna civilizations, others went South and created the Vedic culture. As these peoples pushed westward during the Bronze Age, we begin to see our European identity take form. Because of the intermixing of peoples, it becomes clear that the modern European man’s genetic makeup consists of a mixture of Ancient Eurasian, Western Hunter Gatherer, and Eastern Neolithic Farmer.
