The correct features of an Aryan. Where do the "true Aryans" live? (15 photos)

Why was Hitler wrong?

In the 30s of the last century, it was not possible to reliably determine the origin of a particular people.

Hitler relied on the history and myths of the Nordic race. He considered the Germans the descendants of the Aryans as the Nordic race. From the history known at that time, the Aryans were the progenitors of European and Indo-Iranian civilization. Comparative study Sanskrit with other European languages ​​- Latin, Greek, Slavic and Celtic - led scientists to the idea that most of European languages ​​comes from one, common, primitive language - Aryan. Even the German writer, linguist Friedrich Schlegel at the end of the 18th century called the speakers of this language Indo-Germans.

In 1883, the English psychologist Francis Galton formulated the basic principles of eugenics. He proposed to study phenomena that can improve the hereditary qualities of future generations. Galton was a racist and considered Africans inferior. Here is one of his statements: The weak nations of the world must inevitably give way to the nobler varieties of mankind... In 1904, Galton defined eugenics as "the science concerned with all factors that improve the innate qualities of a race."

In 1928, Europe passed the first eugenics law in Switzerland. Denmark followed in 1929. Germany, Sweden and Norway passed similar laws in 1934. Finland and Danzig - in 1935, and Estonia - in 1936. In 1932, the International Congress on Eugenics, that is, the science of improving the human race, was held in New York. The first castration carried out under the eugenics law was carried out in Denmark in 1925. Hitler came to power when eugenics laws were already officially in place in Germany. judicial practice. Later in Nazi Germany sterilization was used in relation to "inferior persons": mentally ill, homosexuals, gypsies, Jews. Then, as we know, sterilization was replaced by physical destruction.

Nazi eugenics programs that were carried out as part of preventing the degeneration of the German people as a representative of the "Aryan race": Euthanasia T4 (destruction of the mentally ill), the destruction of homosexuals, Lebensborn (conceiving children from SS employees), The Final Solution Jewish question, Plan "Ost".
All this was built on the idea of ​​the purity of the Aryan race. So who are the Aryans?

genetic genealogy

At the beginning of the 21st century, scientists answered this question. With the development of genetic genealogy using DNA tests. Each person carries a kind of biological passport - this is our DNA. The methods of genetic genealogy allow access to that part of the DNA that is passed unchanged from father to son in a direct male line - the Y chromosome. Now the results of DNA tests, genetic genealogy, are accepted as factual material in judicial practice and undeniably testify to the degree of kinship of the tested. As a result of the fusion of the egg and sperm, the child receives genes that will be a mixture of the genes of the father and mother. But the Y chromosome is only passed down from the father, so the number of repeats in a son's markers will be the same as his father's. The Y chromosome is passed down through the generations from father to son unchanged through the centuries and millennia. The Y chromosome can only change as a result of a mutation, which happens quite rarely after 500 generations, i.e. once every 10,000 years. This allows you to determine with certainty when a common ancestor occurred in two test males. After checking and combining the results of Y-chromosome markers from one human genome, a haplotype is determined. Which can be represented as a sequence of the number of each token. When comparing haplotypes from different human genomes, it is possible to trace the entire path of ancestors this person for hundreds of thousands of years. Now the results of genetic genealogy give much greater results than all of archeology and anthropology combined.

Which of the haplogroups is Aryan? To do this, we need to compare the modern halos of the distribution of haplogroups with the history of the distribution of the Aryans and the Aryan language. What is known about the Aryans?

Aryans

The Aryans spoke and had Sanskrit writing. Sanskrit was the progenitor of the groups of Indian, Iranian, Persian, Eraco-Illyrian, Greek, Italic, including Latin. It was the language of the Celts, Slavs.

progenitor of the Baltic and German languages. 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. Aryans-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 in charge actors world history.

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 material well-being and wealth, the 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 own way.

value cows and horses, and in addition to them, the Indo-Iranians bred goats, sheep, bactrian 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 Aryans were warlike people, military booty - cattle, pastures, captives - was one of the most important sources of their well-being. Wars were fought almost constantly.

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

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, ghee, saumu and milk were donated to the gods. 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 the ancient name

Suns - Svar, Svara.

Aryan expansion from 4000 to 1000 BC

Where are the descendants of the Aryans now?

Only one haplogroup R1a is suitable for such a distribution of languages ​​​​and historical sources of the settlement of the Aryans.

Where, with a density scale from 0 to over 51% of the haplogroup:
R1a - Aryans
R1b - Celts (Europeans)
N3 - Finno-Ugrians
N2 - Mongols, Buryats, etc.

Impurities at a density scale from 0 to over 26% of the haplogroup:

I1a - Scandinavians (Nordic race)
I1b - Serbs (Balkan race)
E3b-?
J2 - Turks.

The second density center of the haplogroup R1a in India is the upper castes 45.35%, Brahmins 72.22%. These are the very ancestors of the Aryans who came to India 4300 years ago.

Genetic genealogy gives not only the areas of distribution of haplogroups, but also the stages of distribution of the peoples of the owners of these haplogroups.

In total, there are more than a hundred haplogroups (with sub-options - 169), lettered from A to R. For example, A, B and E3a (Africa), C, E and K (Asia), I and R (Europe), J2 (Middle East ; Coen modal group), Q3 (American Indians). We are interested in the haplogroup R1a - the Aryans. The ancestors of the Aryans descended from the same "Adam" who lived in northeast Africa and had the first common genetic marker M168. 50 thousand years ago, when about 10 thousand people lived on Earth, direct ancient ancestor non-Africans moved north, and crossed the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula. He became the progenitor of all people now living outside of Africa, in addition to the Africans themselves.

In the Arabian Peninsula, just beyond the Red Sea, the first mutation changed its common marker to M89. It happened 45 thousand years ago. This marker is now present in 90-95% of all non-Africans. The ancestor of the Aryans went further to the northeast, where the stream split on the territory of modern Iraq - part of our family continued to go north, and, having passed Syria and Turkey, through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles went to the Balkans, to Greece, to Europe, and the direct ancestor of the Aryans turned right, walked along the northern part Persian Gulf, crossed Iran and Afghanistan, leaving the Hindu Kush range on the right, and rested against the Pamir mountains, at the Pamir junction, where the mountains of the Hindu Kush, Tien Shan and Himalayas converge. Further straight, to the east, there was nowhere to go. By this time, the direct ancestor of the Aryans had mutated again, and became the carrier of the M9 marker, the marker of the so-called Eurasian clan. It happened 40 thousand years ago. There were several tens of thousands of people on Earth at that time. A few millennia later, the Eurasian ancestor of the Aryans had another mutation, M45. It happened in Central Asia, 35 thousand years ago. Behind it - the next mutation, M207, already in the south of Siberia, 30 thousand years ago, on the way to the north. After that, the flow divided again, and at the latitude of the future Moscow, the Aryans turned west, to Europe, soon undergoing the M173 mutation. The rest of the tribe went further north, into the glaciers, eventually became the Eskimos, part of the land moved to Alaska and became American Indians. But they already had other genetic markers.

Approximately in the area of ​​the future Novgorod-Pskov, the flow again divided. Some continued their journey to the west and came to Europe, bringing the M173 marker there, and the direct ancestor of the Aryans turned south and settled on the way to the Black and Caspian Seas, in the territory of present-day Ukraine and southern Russia, having earned the last mutation M17, 10- 15 thousand years ago. M17 mutation preserved among the Slavs. In the steppes of Ukraine and Russia, the ancestors of the Aryans thousands of years ago left a lot of mounds, in which later they found a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Here the Aryans tamed the horse for the first time many thousands of years ago. It was they who first spoke the language that laid the foundation for the Indo-European family of languages, including English, French, German, Russian, Spanish, several Indian languages such as Bengali and Hindu, and many others. Now about 40% of men living in Europe, especially in the north of France and in England and Germany, and up to Siberia, are descendants of this haplogroup R1a. Aryan haplogroups.

4500 years ago, the Proto-Slavs-Aryans appeared on the Central Russian Upland, and not just some Proto-Slavs, but precisely those whose descendants live in our time. 3800 years ago they built the ancient settlement of Arkaim and the "country of cities" on Southern Urals. 3600 years ago, the Aryans left Arkaim and moved to India. Indeed, according to archaeologists, the settlement, which is now called Arkaim, existed for only 200 years.

But what about the Germans themselves? Modern Germans are not only not Aryans, but for the most part they are not even historical Germans. In this sense, the Swedes, Danes and Norwegians are more Germanic than the Germans themselves, and the Austrian Germans can only conditionally be attributed to the Germanic ethnos.

As part of the modern German ethnos, groups I1a and I1c make up a minority of about 30%, and the majority is the population with the haplogroup R1b - 46% and represents the heirs of the historical Celts. In addition, a significant proportion of the modern German ethnic group, more than 8%, are the descendants of the Aryans - Slavs with the haplogroup R1a.

Or did Hitler know?

The issue of the nation and the so-called "purity of blood" worries everyone in different ways. There are people in whose family there were representatives of different nationalities, and they do not worry about this at all and are proud of their ancestors. And there are those who do not perceive representatives of other races and despises them. They enter into marriages only when they are convinced of the pedigree of their future half, and, noticing at least the slightest nuances in it, immediately break off any relationship.

Truth or fiction

Many to this day argue about who the Aryans are. In translation, "Aryan" means "respected", "worthy", "noble". However, this term is not scientific. It was put forward by the nationalists with the aim of dividing the people living at that time into worthy and unworthy. The former included representatives of European nationalities, primarily belonging to the so-called Norman type. Traditionally, people from Northern Europe who have a strong physique, blonde hair and blue eyes. The representatives of those who, according to the nationalists, were unworthy of life, were primarily considered Jews.

Hitler's theory

Surely everyone knows that Hitler's dream was not only to conquer the whole world, but also to create an ideal race, according to his theory, fair-haired and blue-eyed people. To understand who Hitler's Aryans are, it is enough to read his quote:

"All human culture, all the achievements of art, science and technology that we are witnessing today are the fruits of the creativity of the Aryans ... He [the Aryan] is the Prometheus of mankind, from whose bright brow sparks of genius flew at all times, kindling the fire of knowledge, illuminating the darkness of gloomy ignorance, which allowed man to rise above other creatures of the Earth.

Considering the nature and pathological determination in achieving the goals he himself set, Hitler made demands not only on the external data of ideal people. Giving a definition of who the Aryans are, he also took into account character traits, lifestyle, principles and even features of sexual development and maturation. The requirements were very strict, but the desire for a fictitious ideal was so high that those who did not meet the slightest requirement were shamefully expelled from the caste of the elite and could even be physically destroyed. Arguing on the topic of who the Aryans were, Hitler acted harshly: compassion was alien to him, and with equal success (if one can put it that way, of course), both children and adults were destroyed on his orders.

Making a portrait of an Aryan

To imagine who the Aryans are and how they look, you can familiarize yourself with the alleged criteria that were applied to the appearance, type of character and features of the physical and sexual development of this category of people.

So the real purebred Aryan distinguish:

• very light, almost snow-white skin;
• light, preferably blue eyes;
• smooth and thin hair of light shades;
• height at least 180 cm (women may be shorter);
• weight proportional to height;
• refined features, long thin fingers;
• lack of hair on the back, legs, other manifestations on the face and in the genital area are mild;
• high forehead and regular skull shape;
• absence of superciliary arches;
• the presence of a sign of a metopic suture on the forehead;
• evenly set eyes;
• straight and healthy teeth;
• late puberty and late aging;
• pleasant sounding speech;
• required talents and (preferably) genius;
• lack of desire for physical and monotonous work;
• equilibrium;
• independence from alcohol and drugs;
• lack of susceptibility to hereditary diseases (in principle, a person should not get sick);
• accuracy;
• complete rejection of even the thought of an alien racial culture, religion, dislike for Jews;
• selective and legible in sexual relations;
• strong ideas about the value of the family;
• an Aryan woman is beautiful, slender, faithful to her husband, loves children, is an excellent housewife, hates Jews.

After studying these characteristics, one can imagine who the Aryans are and what they look like. A photo of all those considered worthy representatives of the highest race will not give a complete impression, so it remains only to dream up.

Helpful information

If you believe the statistics, then most often when asked who the Aryans are, associations arise precisely with the period of the nationalist movement during the Second World War, but such a nation actually existed and still exists. This question causes a lot of confusion in scientific world, because the race of Indo-Europeans, some of whom were called Aryans, really existed.

An artificially created or historically founded nation?

Most of the peoples of the world speak similar languages. This can only mean one thing: we all have common roots and origins. Even in the ancient tribes, there was a division of people according to social status, and taking into account natural selection, which under conditions wildlife stood especially hard, only the strongest and most dexterous survived. Tribes consisting of such people conquered territories, later their leaders became rulers, etc. The Aryan tribe was unique.

Its representatives were something of a legend of the time. They were looked up to, imitated, respected and feared. It was precisely because of their historical superiority that Hitler chose them as a model. He repelled not only from appearance, although, of course, this fact cannot be denied. High cheekbones and even facial features are inherent in most Germans, however similar differences physiques are also characteristic of many representatives Slavic peoples with which the Nazis waged a fierce struggle. But why should they fight if (focusing on external signs) are they related to the Slavs by family ties? This dilemma is the reason why a clear answer to the question of who the Aryans are cannot be obtained.

Historical facts

A brief historical overview will help people who are interested in who the Aryans are and where they came from understand. Tribes living in northern Europe are often referred to as Indo-Europeans. This term is still used today, but has a wider meaning than in the last century. How the Aryans themselves called themselves is unknown to historians to this day. These tribes occupied the then fertile lands and are often considered the founders of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Interesting, but if you believe the studies, then the Aryans originally lived on the territory modern Russia and not in Germany.

Around the second millennium BC, there was a large-scale resettlement of representatives of this tribe throughout the territory. the globe. Of course, preference was given to areas suitable for agriculture, but the harsh conditions, in principle, did not frighten them.

As a result of mixing with other peoples, their appearance has undergone significant changes, and it has become impossible to determine the origin. Even modern indigenous Tajiks have two main types of appearance. One half is swarthy, dark-haired and dark-eyed people, and the other half has blond hair and blue eyes. But that doesn't mean they're Aryans, does it?

A nation of kings and rulers

Even without really knowing who the Aryans were and where they lived, the ancient kings and emperors recognized belonging to this race as prestigious and were always looking for an opportunity to find representatives of this race among their ancestors.

Perhaps this was the product of what we call nationalism and fascism. After all, the concept that all people are brothers exists only in church teachings, but practically does not occur in life.

By dividing people into similar to God (and therefore worthy of worship) and descended from a monkey (suitable only for rendering services to the superior race), our ancestors, without knowing it, laid the foundations for the age-old confrontation between peoples. Some were ready to die to exterminate other races, while others defended their lands and rightly condemned the Nazis for their beliefs.

Theory of Adolf Lanz

At the beginning of the 20th century, the views of the Catholic monk Adolf Lanz on the origin of human races on the ground. He believed that initially there were two tribes - Aryans and people-animals. The first he called heroic, and the second monkeys. The "super talented" Aryans were of divine origin and even looked like angels. Demons on earth were symbolized by ape people: they were not capable of anything but destruction and stupidity, lies and deceit. These races hated each other and tried their best to destroy the enemy tribes. The apes began to act by mixing blood and seduced Aryan women, and the Aryans tried to exterminate everyone who posed even the slightest danger to dilute their divine blood.

IN currently due to the mixing of blood on Earth, there are people, each of whom belongs to a greater extent to one or another type, therefore, is closer either to God or to a demon. It is from this well-known theory that the Nazis are repelled in their reasoning about who the Aryans and Slavs are.

Summing up

Who are the Aryans? Where did they come from and who are they? Most likely, this question will be of interest to humanity for a very long time, but with full confidence it can only be stated that Special attention to this category of people is caused by historical factors that have a serious impact on the development of world society.

The term was most widely used among the Nazis, for whom superior people were the Aryans. Their appearance almost completely coincided with that of an ordinary European. The only thing that made them stand out was light color hair and eyes. That is, the Aryan race, which did not actually exist, was assigned the Nordic type, that's all. However, even being a myth, she was very popular and revered. Hitler and his followers generally believed that only the Aryans (to which they, of course, belonged) have the right to fully live on earth, while other races are imperfect, and therefore only suitable for the role of slaves.

Typical Aryans: appearance, photo

So, let's take a closer look at this mythical race. There is according to which the appearance of an Aryan has exact features, allowing to distinguish its owner from the "gray mass".

1. Face. A typical Aryan has, although without signs of albinism, light and blue spectrum, brown color is unacceptable), the skull should not be deformed or compacted, the nose is straight or with a slight hump, graceful, the lips are rather thin, the superciliary arches are absent,

2. hairline. The appearance of an Aryan is in no way comparable to that of a monkey. Vegetation on the body is weakly expressed in both sexes, on the face in women it is completely absent (with the exception of eyelashes and eyebrows). Hair on head fine and dense, preferably straight, cannot be black, acceptable colors: white to light chestnut, red is possible, but not bright.

3. Body type. The appearance of an Aryan should be refined, graceful, but not fragile. Men are tall (about 1.8 meters), women can be slightly lower. The bone is thin, the fingers are long. Women are often thin, men can be built denser, but fullness is unacceptable.

4. Appearance Aryan creates a pleasant impression. The face does not express malice, narrow-mindedness, rudeness, etc. negative traits. Body odor is pleasant, natural discharge is not disgusting. The manner of carrying himself is noble and benevolent, the same can be said about the voice.

5. Religion complex (not primitive), there is a tendency to philosophy, idealization, self-improvement.

6. Mental capacity. The mind of an Aryan is highly developed, not perverted, present. Characterized by easy learning, pedantry, the ability to trade and conduct their own business, cleanliness, kindness, nobility. There are no selfishness, greed, cruelty, "herd" feeling, the ability to physical labor and total obedience.

7. Health status. Immunity is good genetic diseases absent, as well as a tendency to alcoholism and drug use.

8. Personal life. The Aryan does not accept a worldview and religion alien to him, is incapable of interracial sexual contacts. Deprived of hypersexuality, craving for perversions and excessive concern. Having entered into marriage, the spouses are always faithful to each other, caring. There is no idea of ​​the superiority of men over women.

Having studied all the above signs, we can conclude that the appearance of the Aryan corresponds to his moral character- both are top notch. Not surprisingly, many considered the ideal.

As you know, the leaders of the "Third Reich" seriously believed that true aryans are the Germans. Or at least they pretended to believe it. And in 1939, Himmler sent a large-scale scientific expedition to Tibet.

What were the Germans looking for there? Gold? Emeralds? No, they measured the width of the Tibetans' cheekbones, the facial angle, took off their plaster masks, calculated the coefficient of cephalization ... They hoped to find in Tibet those same mythical "Nordic" Aryans who, in their opinion, once left Germany and went to the East. But they didn't find it. For the most part, they dealt with indigenous Tibetans - representatives of the Mongoloid population group.

The French explorer Michel Pessel was more fortunate. In 1975, he nevertheless found in the snowy Himalayas a small people of mina-ro, possibly the Aryans, who possessed all the features of a European anthropological group. Some of its representatives even looked like "Nordic" Aryans.

This mysterious people and to this day lives in the Western Himalayas, in Ladakh - a kind of threshold of Tibet. The area is located where the borders meet three countries: India, Pakistan and China. Of course, Pessel discovered in Tibet not the “Nordic” Aryans at all, but the descendants of the Indo-Europeans, who in 1400 BC new era came to India from Central Asia and later became Indo-Aryans.

The Minaros are by no means the only Europeans who have lived in the Himalayas since time immemorial. people who have a European Aryan appearance, the inhabitants of Tibet are conditionally called dards.

Europeans from time immemorial

In the province of Nuristan in Afghanistan, as well as in the mountains of Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan, one of the amazing peoples Dard group - Kalash. Its population is about 6 thousand people.

The villages are located at an altitude of 1900-2200 meters above sea level. Kalash inhabit three side valleys formed by the right (western) tributaries of the Chitral (Kunar) River: Bumboret (in Kalash Mumret), Rumbur (Rukmu) and Birir (Biriu), at a distance of approximately 20 km south of the city of Chitral.

Their wooden houses piled one above the other along the steep mountain slopes and are somewhat reminiscent of Georgian sacks with flat roof. Bridges and steep ladders are laid between the dwellings, along which the children jump with pleasure. Nearby are the ruins of ancient stone fortresses - possibly built by the ancestors of the current inhabitants.

Neighbors consider Kalash natives - and scientists confirm this. In joint research by the Vavilov Institute of General Genetics, the University of Southern California and Stanford University, a separate paragraph is devoted to the Kalash, which says that their genes are indeed unique and belong to the ancient European Aryan group.

Like in the Russian North

The Kalash, despite all the oppression, managed to preserve their pagan faith. Interestingly, the neighbors, who have the same European appearance as they do, profess Islam. The rites of the Kalash are very similar to the ancient Slavic and Baltic ones. They worship the sacred fire in three forms: the sun, lightning and hearth fire.

They have preserved remnants of the twin cult, typical of all ancient Indo-Europeans. In temple premises ritual dances carved figures of twins embracing and a stylized image of the sun can be seen on wooden pillars. In the middle of the temple room, blown by all the winds, there is a sacred pillar with carved on it solar signs.

Some signs symbolizing the sun are similar to those that are still found in the Arkhangelsk wooden carving! Not far from the ritual pillar is an altar: two horse heads carved from wood.

horned deity

On holidays, on a special altar in front of a pagan idol made of a single trunk of a large tree, installed on a mountain slope under open sky, sacrifice a goat. Their grazing on mountain pastures is done by unmarried shepherds with eyes like those of the Aryans.

Local folklore is replete with tales associated with totemic ideas about this animal. On major holidays, the fair sex wears colorful dresses reminiscent of the traditional costumes of Slavic and Baltic women, draws the silhouette of a mountain goat with curled horns over their eyebrows with soot.

Often during the holiday they play a scene where a horned goat is depicted unmarried girl, and the shepherd is an unmarried boy. This action is very reminiscent of the rite of buffoon disguise under New Year. Harvest festivals and love festivals are arranged, similar to Ivan Kupala: then they dance round dances, sing songs.

Wooden horned idols have also been preserved - a female deity on a throne with a massive carved staff in her left hand. Involuntarily, you will remember the Russian devil with a poker.

As in native Provence

Kalash - Aryans cultivate wheat, millet and barley on irrigated fields. Harvest with sickles. grow up Walnut and mulberry. Now they have an exotic crop for these places - corn.

Pessel was at one time struck by the fact that the representatives of the Minaro people, outwardly so similar to the French Aryans, just like the Tyroleans or the inhabitants of Provence, grow grapes on the mountain slopes of the Western Himalayas and make wine from it. When in his book "The Gold of the Ants", published in 1984 (published in Russian in 1989), Pessel published a photograph of a smiling minaro man, outwardly looking like a Frenchman, and even with a bunch of grapes in one hand and a cup of wine in the other Not everyone believed him. Some even accused the scientist of a brawl.

Nevertheless, today it is already a proven fact: Aryan people live in the Himalayas, indistinguishable from Europeans; and they lead a way of life that makes them related to European peasants.

Combat past

Kalash women - Aryans at their leisure make beaded jewelry reminiscent of Russian and Baltic ones. On the breastplate, for example, there is symbolism in the form of two horse heads looking in different sides, and solar signs. Even in the 19th century, similar ones could be found in the Russian North in carvings on huts, spinning wheels and gates. Among the Balts, these plots are still preserved in village life.

The Pakistan Museum of National Antiquities has wooden statues horse riders in helmets and armor. At one time, they were "expropriated" by the Pakistani authorities from the Kalash. Those probably in the past were quite warlike people: legends about aggressive campaigns to neighboring lands have been preserved in their folklore. During military sorties, foreigners were taken prisoner. From the slaves, a caste of artisans was formed, infringed on their rights - later it was they who converted to Islam. In their composition, there are much fewer blondes and a Mongoloid and Australoid admixture is noticeable.

In pristine purity

In the cemetery, on the graves of Kalash, wooden boards with solar signs carved on them are installed vertically. Center tribal cult there is a carved board, personifying the goddess Dzheshtak, the patroness of family ties, or the “temple” (“the house of Dzheshtak”) - a room for dancing and meetings.

The symbolic plots on the gravestones are somewhat similar to the South Ossetian gravestones of the 18th century. Let me remind you that the Ossetians are the descendants of the nomadic Alans who took refuge in the mountains of the Caucasus from the Hun invasion.

All this suggests that the Alans, Slavs and Kalash had common Aryan ancestors. However, the Kalash, perhaps the only one in the world, preserved in pristine purity not only the appearance of typical Caucasians, but also the culture of pagan ancestors, Proto-Indo-Europeans. They believe in the transmigration of souls in the same way as the ancestors of all Indo-Europeans believed in it, including the Slavs, not excluding the Russians. Many features of everyday life and rituals are explained precisely by this.

And yet the cultural impact of non-Christian neighbors is undoubtedly being felt. The men adopted the typical Muslim clothing and headgear. The names of tribal deities are gradually forgotten. The Holiday of Merits - honoring respected people - is becoming a thing of the past. But those who have passed away from this life and who are to be born again in a new body are not forgotten.

Shard of antiquity

IN social order Kalash (Aryans), like the inhabitants of neighboring Nuristan related to them, are divided into ranks. The head of the family clan, who wants to increase his prestige, slaughters a few goats and treats his fellow tribesmen. Anyone has the right to come to the feast.

Thanks to a warm welcome and a feast all over the world, the head of the clan receives one vote in the council of elders and the right to install a personal carved wooden statue in the family cemetery after his death. Of course, this is not a Greek or Roman statue, but still a distant resemblance to ancient images in these masks and figures can be seen.

Relatives of towels

The Kalash-Aryans have the highest holiness in the mountains and mountain pastures, where the gods live and "their cattle" - wild goats graze. Holy are the altars and the goat-sheds. Sanctuaries are located, as a rule, in the open air. These are mostly altars built of juniper or oak. They are furnished with ritual carved boards and idols of higher deities.

Indoor wooden halls are specially erected for religious mysteries and dances.

The ritual life of the Kalash-Aryans takes place in collective festivities, feasts and games, to which the gods are invited as full participants. At the matchmaking ceremony preceding the wedding, you can see matchmakers with tied wedding towels, decorated with embroidery and very reminiscent of towels!

At the feet of the gods

Kalash - Aryans, like all Dard peoples, live in close proximity to the greatest peak in the world, called K2 climbers, and Chogori by the local population.

It is located in Kashmir, in northern Pakistan, near the border with China and looks like a giant snow-covered pyramid. Second in the world after Everest. Its height is 8611 meters above sea level.

There is reason to believe that it is Chogori who appears in the Hindu Vedas as the sacred Mount Meru, and in the main book of Zoroastrianism, the Avesta, as the Great Hara. According to ancient Aryan beliefs, the Sun, Moon, stars and planets revolve around this mountain.

Perhaps the ancient Aryans or their descendants - Caucasoid nomadic Scythians - because of religious beliefs climbed so high into the mountains and chose these highlands as their residence? According to the Vedas, great gods live on Mount Meru. And to live at the foot of the abode of the gods - is not it the greatest honor?

Alexander Belov, paleoanthropologist

In the 1920s, during Adolf Hitler's stay in Munich, he read E. Blavatsky's book The Secret Doctrine. A Russian emigrant living in America at that time was engaged in spiritualism and

Blavatsky's theory

In his book, Blavatsky said that he had deduced a special theory, thanks to the experiences of communication with otherworldly forces. The Aryan race formed its basis. The Aryans were treated mystically by those who once inhabited our Earth. This race was considered special, dominant. According to Blavatsky, the ancient Aryans were the ancestors of the Germans, and the first place where the Aryan race settled was Atlantis or Fr. Thule. The death of Atlantis was the reason that the Aryans moved to Tibet and the foothills of the Himalayas.

She called the Aryans God's chosen people, who are called to rule all people living on Earth. Adolf Hitler immediately accepted this theory and decided that it was the Germans who should rule the whole world, since they have been endowed with this right since antiquity. The basis of his ideological convictions, which raised him to the pinnacle of power, Hitler laid the legends that describe secret history Earth.

legends

The first legend speaks of two races that once lived on Earth. One had dark skin and possessed extraordinary power, highly developed culture and science. The cities of this race were located mainly in the south. People with white skin lived in the north, but their development was weak, so they strictly obeyed the "black masters". However, among the white race, the wise and brave Aryan Ram appeared, who raised an uprising in the northern lands. The Aryan race, led by Ram, defeated the "black masters" and overthrew them. Ram created a super-strong empire that united many peoples. The death of Ram caused a bloody civil strife between the heirs, the Aryans, as a result of this, were defeated, and all the revolutions that followed, utopian teachings and the loss of spirituality by people were the result of this.

One more left ancient legend about the fact that somewhere high in the mountains of Asia, on the border of Afghanistan, India and Tibet, there is the country of Agharti-Shambhala, inhabited by sage mediums who managed to survive in that internecine war. This is still the same Aryan race that hid laboratories, warehouses, libraries in inaccessible caves that store the entire scientific experience According to legend, the one who can negotiate with the people of Shambhala and become the owner of the key to secret knowledge will be able to take over the world and reveal all the secrets of the universe!

Story

Hitler, relying on the supposed locations of Shambhala indicated by Blavatsky, becomes simply obsessed with the desire to find secret knowledge. Later, he tells Heinrich Himmler about this and asks for help in the search. Organized "archaeological" expeditions, including scientists and SS personnel, trying to find the city.

Himmler invited Heydrich, whom he considered a true Aryan, to lead the service, which became new program search for ancient knowledge, called the "Heritage of the Ancestors". The secret structure began to search in culture, history and science for evidence that the Aryan race is God's chosen people and called to rule the world in the person of the Germans. What the Germans managed to find in the Middle and Near East and in Tibet will remain a mystery forever.

Many scientists are still eager to find out what information the Ancestral Heritage group possessed, and to understand what the Aryan race is. There is evidence that this group managed to understand the essence of the energy-information system and the unified energy-information field of the Earth. It is not known until the end.

Died at strange circumstances, after the expedition sent to Tibet returned and brought back very valuable information, which Reinhard got acquainted with first. According to some sources, all members of the Tibetan expedition died under unusual circumstances, and the materials that were delivered disappeared without a trace.

There is also the so-called Slavic-Aryan race, which belongs to our modern civilization, but this separate story.

Signs of the Aryan race

Nazi ideologists believe that true Aryans are tall and slender. They have a narrow face and a long skull. They have a narrow forehead, a narrow back of the nose, slightly arched eyebrows, and a narrow chin.

The skin color of the Aryans is pinkish-white, blood shines through it. The skin of the Aryans is not harmed by exposure to the sun. They have thick hair, the men have a lush beard. Hair color is usually light, with variations from completely white to yellowish and golden.
