March of the Titans
A History Of The White Race


The complete and comprehensive history of the White Race, spanning 350 centuries of tumultuous events.

This is their incredible story - of vast visions, empires, achievements, triumphs against staggering odds, reckless blunders, crushing defeats and stupendous struggles.

From the time of the emergence of the White racial type, their wanderings to the four corners of the globe, and finally into space itself: This remarkable story of human endeavor is without parallel or comparison, and is a story of awe, inspiration and heroism.

Most importantly of all, revealed in this work is the one true cause of the rise and fall of the world's greatest empires - that all civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and nothing else - a nation can survive wars, defeats, natural catastrophes, but not racial dissolution.

March of the Titans
A History Of The White Race

Chapter 1 : Important Issues

This book tells the story of White people as a racial group and not primarily of any specific geographic area. Hence the backdrop to this story jumps continents, ages and civilizations, linked only by the commonality of a genetic inheritance. Crucial to the understanding of the theme of this book is an understanding of the concepts of race, ethnicity and culture.

RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURE

A race is defined as a group of individuals sharing common genetic attributes which determine that group's physical appearance and, more controversially, their cognitive abilities. Ethnicity is defined as the creation of groupings by individuals (most often within racial groups but also possible across racial divides) of certain common traditions, languages, art forms, attitudes and other means of expression.

A culture is the name given to the physical manifestations created by ethnic groupings - the actual language, art forms, religion and social order and achievements of a particular ethnic group. In practical terms then, it is possible to talk of a White race; of a Scottish ethnicity and a Scottish culture. The last two - ethnicity and culture - are directly dependent upon each other, and in fact flow from each other in a symbiotic relationship. This book deals then primarily with White racial history, and flowing from that, White ethnic groupings and cultures.

THE WHITE RACE - THREE SUB GROUPINGS

What exactly is meant by the White race? Essentially there are three main sub groupings to the White race, with two further divisions of note. The three major sub groupings are known to academics as Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean.

Although these names have come about mainly as a result of the geographic areas these sub groupings have been associated with in the Christian era (Nordics in northern Europe, Alpines in central Europe and Mediterraneans in southern Europe) it is incorrect to believe that these groupings always occupied these regions. These three main sub groupings have played a role in events in almost every geographical region where the White race as a group has appeared.

Of these three original groupings, only two are existent in any large numbers today: the Nordics and the Alpines. The original Mediterraneans of ancient history are not to be confused with those people loosely termed "Mediterranean" today - the present day inhabitants of the Mediterranean region are largely mixtures of several races, with the original White Mediterranean component for the greatest part having long since been submerged amongst invasions first of the Nordic and Alpine White sub-groupings, and then under non-White Arabic, Turkish and other Middle Eastern and North African racial groupings.

To illustrate the concept of these three main sub groupings: although there is a broadly termed "Black race" in existence, there are major sub-groupings amongst that racial grouping: the Congo basin Pygmy and the ultra tall Masai tribesmen of Kenya are two good examples of sub groupings within the Black racial group.

A sub grouping is therefore a branch of a particular race which exhibits slightly different physical characteristics but still shares enough of a common genetic inheritance with other sub-groupings to be included in a broad racial category.

NORDIC - TALL, SLIM, LIGHT EYES AND HAIR

The Nordic racial sub grouping, which is still largely in existence to day, is characterized by light colored hair and eyes, a tall slim body build and a distinctive "long" (that is, thin and extended) skull shape.

ALPINE - "SOLID" BODY, ROUND HEAD, BROWN EYES

The Alpine racial sub grouping, which also still exists in a large measure today, is characterized by brown hair and eyes, a short, more "solid" body build and a distinctive "round" (that is, almost, but not quite, circular) skull shape.

MEDITERRANEAN - MIXTURE OF BODY TYPES

The Mediterranean racial sub grouping virtually no longer exists today - the first of the three White racial sub-groupings to disappear from the earth, submerged into the gene pools of surrounding races. The Mediterranean sub grouping was predominantly (but not totally) characterized by dark hair and eye color, slim (Nordic) or solid (Alpine) body build and either long or round skull shapes.

The skull of a member of the Mediterranean White sub-race, viewed from the front and the side. Right: as close an example of a true Mediterranean as is to be found in modern times: a First World War soldier from Wales in Britain.

MEDITERRANEANS VIRTUALLY EXTINCT

It is worth stating again, as it is of great significance in more ways than one, that there are very few of these original Mediterranean racial types left in the world today. They were known as the "Old Europeans" and inhabited large parts of Europe, Egypt, the Middle and Near East and Egypt at the dawn of history.

These Mediterranean types bear almost no resemblance to the present day inhabitants of the Mediterranean basin: the original Old Europeans have been absorbed almost completely into either the Nordic/Alpine stock in Europe itself, or the African/Semitic/Asian stock of North Africa, the Near and Middle East.

The only place in Europe where occasional glimpses of this original Mediterranean racial sub grouping can still be seen, is in the Celtic fringes of Britain, most notably in Wales and Devonshire, and in the Basque territory of Spain. In these regions there exists a short dark strain - remnants of the original inhabitants of Europe.

Pure examples of this Mediterranean type are however still fairly rare, as even they have for the largest degree had some Nordic or Alpine admixture over the years.

OTHER SUB GROUPINGS - DINARICS AND EAST BALTICS

Two other White racial sub groupings exist (called Dinarics and East Baltics) - these groupings are to the largest degree the result of mixtures of the three main sub groupings. The Dinarics and East Baltics are found in large numbers in present day Eastern Europe, and exhibit Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean physical characteristics.

A very small percentage of these two sub-groupings also display the physical characteristics resulting from physical mixing with the waves of Asiatic invaders who penetrated Europe from the east during the course of history: this issue is discussed in full later in this book.

WHITES DEFINED BY GENETIC COMMONALITY

For the purposes of this book, an ethnic or cultural group is defined as part of the White race as long as it shares for the greatest part enough of a common genetic inheritance with the broad racial group. When such an ethnic group loses this genetic commonality (as has happened to the Mediterraneans) it is then formally excluded from the broad White racial category.

MEANS OF TRACKING RACE IN CIVILIZATION

How is race tracked in civilization? How is it determined whether the populations of certain societies or civilization belonged to specific races? The answer to this is simple: race in history is tracked in four ways: palaeoserology, art forms, language, and the science of genetics. This last test has only come into its own in the last ten years of the 20th Century, but has proven to be a major aid in tracking racial history.

PALAEOSEROLOGY REVEALS RACIAL TYPES

Palaeoserology is the study of skeletal remains - physical remains of people who died during the time periods under study. As different racial groups have different physical characteristics, it is a relatively simple matter to determine the racial make-up of the inhabitants of a particular region by studying the contents of grave sites.

This skill is today often used by modern police pathologists in identifying the race of unidentified corpses, and this science has proven equally useful in historical diggings.

The process of examining burial sites and corpses has proven invaluable in creating an understanding of the racial make-up of the peoples who lived in different areas at different times when there are no other indicators as to their racial origins.

RACE APPEARS IN ART FORMS

Art forms (artistic illustrations, be they conventional pictures or illustrations on pottery; or even statues) also provide significant indicators of the racial make-up of contemporary inhabitants.

The ancient civilizations in particular - of all racial groupings - reflected themselves in their art forms (often because their own racial types were the only human models from which they had to work).

In this way for example, early Chinese art depicted principally Chinese people, Inca and Aztec art depicted only Inca or Aztec people, and so on. In virtually all societies, original art forms portraying people closely followed contemporary physical appearances. This principle is well illustrated in the four art forms portrayed below.

Tracking race in history: Race depicted in art forms. Early civilizations very often depicted images of their own racial types in their works of art, based on the reality that their own types were the most common (or only) human models they had to work with. A comparison of (from left to right) Olmec art, 400 BC; African art, circa 1400 AD; Japanese art, 1,000 AD; and Greek art, 340 BC; reflects this principle well. The study of art forms is a reliable indicator of the racial type of the communities in which the art works were created.

GENETICS REVEALS RACIAL PAST

All human beings have three sorts of genes: mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited through the female line; Y-Chromosomes which are inherited through the male line, and autosomal DNA, which is inherited from both sexes. The study of genetics has served to confirm the accuracy of many historical accounts of racial movements, and is particularly useful in showing cause and effect in the rise and fall of civilizations, as demonstrated in this book.

LANGUAGE REFLECTS RACIAL SIMILARITIES

The study of language is another important clue in the dispersion of peoples: commonalities in language forms leave clearly identifiable "fingerprints" in cultures.

Similar words, phrases or language forms are a clear indication of a single origin for civilizations, due to the fact that the people in those civilizations would at some stage have had a common origin.

In this way the route of a culture (and hence a people) can be traced by following a language.

English	German	Latin	Greek	Old Persian	Sanskrit	Russian/Ukrainian (non-Cyrillic spelling)
brother	bruder	frater	bhrater	brater	bhrater	Brat (pronounces as "Braht")
mother	mutter	mater	meter	matar	matar	Mater (or just Maht with soft "t" at the end)
father	vater	pater	pater	pitar	pitar	Batya (pronounces as "Bahtya")

THE DEBATE AROUND CLIMATE AND GENES

The argument of climatic influence as a cause of physical racial differences is as flawed as the belief in a common racial ancestor.

Often the argument is heard that the White race has its color because it originated in the cold north, and that the Black race has its color because it originated in the hot south. Apart from the obvious geographical impossibility of this conjecture (because of the fact that many of the White race's greatest achievements were made in a hot climate - the Near East and Egypt) this argument does not explain why for example members of the Mongolian races (Chinese, Japanese and others) have their distinctive racial characteristics.

How did the climate of Asia for example create the distinctive eye shape and skull structure by which Mongolian races are known?

The reality is that physical characteristics are genetically determined at the moment of conception, and there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that living in a cold or a hot climate changes the genetic make up of a group of people. If a large group of Chinese people had to move to Norway, live there for any length of time, all the while remaining (marriage and children wise) within their racial group, will anyone seriously suggest that they will "evolve" into blue eyed blond people over any period of time?

The same argument can be used in reverse: who will seriously contend that Whites moving to China, (and remaining within their own genetic community, not interbreeding with the local population) will become Mongolian in physical appearance after any length of time?

People may grow a little taller, or live a little longer with better nutrition or medical services, but this is merely an extension of the genetic potential of those people, rather than a change in the genes themselves. Climate then can never change the gene pool of a people.

GENES CHANGE THROUGH MIXING

The only way a gene pool can be changed is if enough members of that gene pool physically mix - physically integrate and have offspring with - a gene pool outside of that original group. This is the only way in which genes can "change" - and history is full of examples of where this has happened, where original racial groups have integrated with other previously separate racial groups to produce new groupings having overall different physical and even cognitive characteristics from both the original parent groupings.

ENVIRONMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT

Another popular modern myth is that some racial groups developed faster than others because of the accident of their geographic location. This is known collectively as the environmental theory of development: that because some races were "lucky" enough to live around, for example, fertile river basins, or had access to certain types of domesticable animals or edible plants, that they developed faster than other racial groupings elsewhere in the world.

This world view attempts essentially to explain the huge technological gap which existed between the White Europeans and the Black Africans, Native Americans (Amerinds), Asians and Australian Aborigines, at the time of the period of White exploration and colonization of the world.

While it is not the purpose of this book to delve into what are, after all, subjective notions of superiority and inferiority (what is regarded as superior by some can be regarded as inferior to another) nonetheless the issue of the technological gap between the races needs addressing, if only because it played such a huge role in the history of the White race's interaction with the other races of the world.

The "environmental" theory as expounded by modern sociologists is destroyed by two main examples: Egypt - and a comparison between the indigenous cultures of Equatorial Africa and Central America.

In Egypt, as will be shown, the Black and White races shared what was virtually an identical geographic location along the banks of the Nile River - yet despite this the ancient White Egyptians produced a civilization which is still a marvel of world history; while the achievements of the Black (Nubian) inhabitants of the same region are distinctly unremarkable in comparison to the wonders of the pyramids.

If the "lucky environmental accident" were true, then the vast difference between the original White Egyptians and Black Nubians should never have come about, as they shared an identical environment.

Often the argument is made that Whites had an advantage because they had pack animals and horses while the native peoples did not - this argument ignores the fact that the White Egyptians did not have horses until long after the creation of many of their finest technological marvels. In fact horses were introduced to Egypt by the Semitic Hyksos invasion which occurred hundreds of years after the first flowering of Egyptian civilization.

DISPARITY IN ACHIEVEMENT - SAME ENVIRONMENT

It is of value to compare the achievements of the non-White Inca and Aztec Amerind peoples in Central and South America, lying just north and south of the equator, with that of the original heartland of the Black race, also just north and south of the equator in Africa. Due to the proximity to the equator, virtually identical environmental conditions prevailed (and still prevail) in Central America and Central Africa. Neither region had horses, and both had the challenges of the equatorial rain forest with which to deal.

Despite the similarity in environment, the Amerinds in Central America were able to build sophisticated buildings, establish written forms of communication, establish gold and precious metal working and a host of other advances: while in Africa little or no progress beyond the Stone Age was made. (There is of course strong evidence to suggest an early White influence in the Americas, as detailed in a later chapter).

Nonetheless, the disparity between the non-White Amerinds and the non-White Africans cannot be explained by the "accident of geography".

Lastly, and most devastatingly, the "environment" argument falls flat when measured against the rise and fall of civilizations. Why is it that Ancient Egypt at one stage led the world in culture and civilization, yet today is a backward Third World country?

If environment alone gave certain peoples a "permanent advantage" then it would surely follow that Egypt would today be one of the most advanced countries in the world.

In reality it is, as any visitor to that land will testify, filled with misery, poverty and backwardness - despite the "environment" being exactly the same as it was during the great age of the civilization which built the pyramids.

The "environmental" theory does, therefore, not explain why Egypt, with exactly the same environmental conditions, could have lost its pre-eminence over the rest of the world.

TECHNOLOGICAL ASCENDANCY - REASONS

Just what caused the technological gap then? If environment did not cause it, the only other logical explanation must be that certain types of cultures, or civilizations, are the products of certain types of people - representative of the innate potential of any given group of people. While this is presently deemed a politically incorrect point of view, the facts of historical development support no other conclusion.

One further example - the progress of North America can be compared with that of South America. North America was for the greatest part colonized by White Europeans, and subsequently became the leading power in the modern world. South America, on the other hand, having far richer natural resources than North America, was never majority colonized by White Europeans and today has a majority mixed race population.

This continent is classed as Third, or at best Second World. Clearly, if environment were the only factor determining levels of achievement, South America should in theory be more advanced than North America, having far more "environmental advantages" than North America.

HOMO ERECTUS - DOUBTFUL WHITE ANCESTOR

Archaeology and its allied science, palaeoserology, have revealed that life forms in the general shape of humans (that is, two arms, two legs, a torso, a head and walking upright on the two legs) appeared in different places across the earth approximately two million years ago. These were the "Homo Erectus" (or "upright man") racial types so favored by evolutionists as the "ancestors of man". These creatures have been found scattered throughout Europe, Africa, China and Australia. It remains however speculative to say with any certainty that modern man is descended from any of these Homo Erectus racial types.

Above: A comparison between the skull of a Homo Erectus type (left) and that of a Homo Sapiens (right) shows the difference in cranial size and facial angle which serves as an outstanding marker of the huge distance between the two racial types. Such vast differences call into question the theory that modern White racial types are descended from any previous racial groups, in particular the "Out of Africa" myth.

NEANDERTHAL - NOT RELATED TO WHITES

The time of the Homo Erectus types is known as the Paleolithic age. This age is deemed to have come to an end coinciding with the appearance of Neanderthal man, a new racial type, typified in modern imagery as the "ape man". Although Neanderthal man was slow witted, he was an advance on Homo Erectus. Once again, however, there is no clearly established link to modern White racial types.

The results of DNA tests carried out on Neanderthal remains by researchers at the University of Glasgow, UK, and published in the journal Nature in March 2000, proved conclusively that modern humans do not have Neanderthal ancestors in their family tree, and are this completely unrelated.

Neanderthal man's physical characteristics were epitomized by the heavy browed skull and generally his arms were longer in relation to his body size. He was prognathic - which means that the forehead slopes back and the teeth stick out significantly - usually further than the furthest point of the nose or the chin.

CRO-MAGNON - THE FIRST MODERN WHITE RACIAL TYPE

Above left and center: Cheddar Man. The well preserved skull of a complete example of Cro-Magnon man, discovered in the Cheddar Gorge in England. The skeleton was originally dated at between 40,000 and 30,000 years old, but recent research indicates that it may only be 9,000 years old. Above right: A flesh reconstruction bust of Cro-Magnon man, made by the famous anthropologist, Maurice Putnam Coon. It is from the emergence of Cro-Magnon man that recorded White history begins.

The first modern White racial type only emerged between approximately 40,000 BC and 15,000 BC in differing parts of Europe and the Near East. This time period is known as the Late Paleolithic period, also known generically as the Stone Age. This first racial type is known as Cro-Magnon man - after a site in the Dordogne region of France where the first skeletal remains were found.

Cro-Magnon man is the first biped life form with whom modern Whites can clearly claim a direct genetic affinity. White racial history therefore begins around the year 35,000 BC - and so it is with the Late Paleolithic period that the story in this book really begins.

March of the Titans
A History Of The White Race

Chapter Two: The Late Paleolithic Age

The first racial types identifiable as similar to modern Whites first appeared in parts of Europe, southern Russia and the Near East during the time period 30,000 BC to 15,000 BC, following the end of the last great Ice Age around the year 40,000 BC.

Above: Cave paintings at Lascaux, France,
circa 20,000 BC. Late Paleolithic period.
This cave complex have provided some of
the most important evidence yet of early
European life and habits.

The new arrivals are known as Homo Sapiens (or "wise man") in order to differentiate them from the other life forms known as Homo Erectus and Neanderthal man.

These first racial types occurred in two main physical forms: the original Mediterraneans ("Old Europeans") who had dark or brown hair and dark eyes; and then what is called the Proto Nordic or Cro-Magnon racial type - tall, light hair and light eyes. In certain isolated areas in Europe - centered in Scandinavia - it is possible even today to find perfect living examples of this Proto Nordic racial type, differing only slightly in height from modern day Nordics.

This Proto-Nordic race's physical remains are however plentiful as they wandered far and wide. They lived in a broad band spanning from Spain right across Europe all the way to Asia, where skeletal remains have been found.

Left: One of the most remarkable finds from the Upper Paleolithic era is this clothed adult White male, discovered in Sungir, Russia, buried some 25,000 years ago. This was the type of person who created the first known inklings of White civilization of the present interglacial period starting approximately 40,000 BC. The intricacy of the bead work and material with which the corpse was buried is evidence that White Upper Paleolithic man was at this stage already fairly advanced - compared to Africa here woven material was introduced as recently as 500 years ago.

NORDIC TYPES COMPROMISE RULING ELITE

The Mediterranean and Proto-Nordic types also quite often inhabited the same geographic areas - particularly so in the Middle and Near East, but also extending to western Europe and the Balkans.

A certain amount of mixing took place, but as the Mediterranean types were in the overwhelming majority, the incidence of Nordic characteristics amongst these first Whites was relatively low, with most Nordic types comprising the ruling elite of these peoples.

NEANDERTHALS EXTINGUISHED THROUGH CONFLICT

This time period, circa 25,000 BC, is known as the Late Paleolithic era and was marked by two main characteristics - the hunter-gatherer stage of early White existence; and the extinction of Neanderthal man (through conflict with the new arrivals).

HUNTER GATHERERS - BOW AND ARROW 9000 BC

The Proto-Nordics of the Late Paleolithic age wandered from area to area, never settling for long and often being driven on by the elements and sometimes following new lands opened up by the then retreating last ice sheets.

Willendorf, present day
Austria, dating from

Paleolithic period.

As a result of the transient nature of these people, they generally traveled in family groups, usually varying between five and twenty individuals. Small numbers of livestock and hunting provided their main means of sustenance.

While no great buildings or fixed structures remain from this period, smaller day-to-day artifacts are relatively plentiful. Excavations across Europe and Russia have shown that these early Whites had fire, paint, stone blades and the ability to fashion animal bones into weapons and tools. Sewing needles were also developed during this period.

27,000 BC - INTRODUCTION OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Musical instruments also made their appearance- at sites in southern France, flutes dating back 27,000 years have been found. Coal was also first used as a fuel at about this time. The southern parts of Europe would have been the primary point of contact between the northern Proto-Nordics and the Mediterranean types.

These early Whites also developed fired ceramics, with statuettes and other fired objects dating from approximately 26,000 BC having been found in the present day Czech Republic.

Two significant weapons were also developed at this time which marked a great improvement on the till then basic spear: the spear thrower (which was an instrument made of bone which gave the thrower greater leverage and thus greater speed and distance) which made its appearance around 12,000 BC; and the bow and arrow which first made its appearance around 9000 BC.

It was this period which produced, across Europe, a number of voluptuous female figure forms which have become known as "primitive Venuses". It is speculated that these figurines are fertility symbols.

France, archaeologists are still debating if
they are in fact writing or not. They do bear
an uncanny resemblance to scripts which were
developed several thousands of years later.
If it is writing, then it is the oldest on earth.

AZILIAN ART - FIRST WRITING? - 7000 BC

Perhaps the greatest difficulty of studying people of the Late Paleolithic age was that they left no written records of their achievements - only paintings on rock walls.

One of the best preserved examples is also the most intriguing - the rock paintings found in caves of Mes d'Azil in southern France. Here stones were found with what appears to be writing on them - although they have never been deciphered. If they are indeed writing, then they might be the first and oldest form of written communication in the world.

EARLIEST HOUSES - CIRCA 30,000 BC

The earliest remains of buildings date from the time of the hunters of the Late Paleolithic period who inhabited the areas now known as the Czech and Slovak republics and southern Russia. To withstand the cold weather, Late Paleolithic hunter groups made clothes from sewn skins - traces of which have survived in sites in the Czech and Slovak republics.

Mammoths - elephantine creatures now extinct - were hunted during this time period and houses were constructed out of mammoth ribs (which were used a roof supports). There are also traces of Late Paleolithic people having used the limestone caves of Western Europe as shelters.

Above: The first houses were constructed out of
Mammoth bones and hide: this reconstruction is
based on evidence found in southern Russia,
dated between 30,000 and 20,000 BC.

All in all, Late Paleolithic life must have been bare, hard and cruel, with all the energies of the members of society being put almost solely into survival. The transient nature of society at this time was the primary cause of the lack of any great fixed settlements - this would be a development that would come with the establishment of agriculture, a feature of the time period after 10,000 BC.

ALPINES EMERGE - CIRCA 10,000 BC

Around this time, the Alpine sub grouping appeared: possibly as a result of mixing between the Proto-Nordic and Mediterranean types (this is however, speculation).

These three groupings - Proto-Nordics, original Mediterraneans and Alpines - settled large parts of Europe and the Near and Middle East, a situation which remained stable until the entire continent was subjected to invasions by White Nordic tribes - called the Indo-European peoples, which started around 5000 BC.

The Nordic Indo-European peoples and the Alpines today form the basis of the White race which inhabits Europe.

Above: A small ivory head of a
female figure with delicately
carved features and stylized long
hair, found at Brassempouy in
France - circa 22,000 BC.

The three White sub groupings - Nordic, Alpine and original Old European Mediterranean, were eventually together to dominate a band of territory stretching from Britain to the Ural Mountains; from Scandinavia to North Africa and the Near East; stretching through Egypt, Palestine, modern day Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Iran.

With the advent of time, the Middle and Near East was to become a maelstrom of races, with waves of settling Whites, Arabics, Semites and even Mongols all at one time or another dominating the region and establishing their own cultures and civilizations.

The present day inhabitants of the Near and Middle East are the product of many thousands of years of mixing between all these groupings, and traces of each of the original groupings can sometimes be seen - blond haired Palestinians or blue eyed Iraqis are not unknown - the genetic evidence of the presence of White tribes which occupied that region in ancient times.

Chapter 3: The Neolithic Age

As the climate improved with the recession of the last great ice age, Late Paleolithic man gradually became more settled and started staying in favorable spots for longer than previously.

These first fixed settlements led to a shift from a food gathering society to a food cultivating society, and the appearance of crops and the domestication of animals become features of their way of life. This change in culture is called the Neolithic Age

A regular and continuous food supply created by the establishment of farming meant that bigger populations could live in settled, more secure, areas, and this marked the first time that the luxury of non-food producing professions within society became possible.

This shift from hunter-gatherer to settled agriculturalism occurred in fits and starts all over White occupied Europe and the Near East. The earliest farming sites in northern Europe are to be found in Ireland, occurring at approximately the same time as the cultivation of crops in the Mesopotamian River Valley in the Near East. As a general rule, the first Neolithic settlements can be said to have been established around 10,000 BC, and the cultivation of edible plants and the domestication of animals was commonplace all over Europe, the Near and Middle East by 5000 BC.

Above: A
Neolithic era axe

EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST - EQUALLY ADVANCED

The existence of an original civilization on the continent of Europe which predates the civilizations in the Middle East, has to a large degree been ignored by traditional history writers, particularly those who wrote during the dominant Christian era in Europe.

This was largely because of a biblical Judeo-Christian bias which held that all civilization started in the Near East (the biblical Old Testament deals exclusively with events in the Middle East, and conventional wisdom during the Age of the Church held that the Garden of Eden was in the Middle East).

This is not an accurate reflection of the facts, as in many parts of Europe relatively advanced societies were in existence either before or simultaneously with the Mesopotamian or Egyptian civilizations.

While it is most certainly true that the great cities and states in the near and Middle East were towering achievements, it is incorrect to regard them as the only flowering of civilization in the world at that time.

There are many huge buildings - called megaliths - and early Neolithic settlements, artifacts and burial sites and even the creation of a form of writing, which show that the inhabitants of Europe were advanced in the evolution of their societies and culture.

This Old European civilization lasted for approximately 3000 years, and then fell before waves of new invaders, the Indo-European or Nordic tribes sweeping in from the area we now know as Russia.

WHITE MEDITERRANEAN AND PROTO-NORDICS POPULATE MIDDLE EAST

This is not to say that the original Old European inhabitants - mainly Mediterranean racial types with a minority of Proto-Nordics - were of a different race to those inhabitants of the Middle and Near East at that time.

Indeed, the first civilizations in the Mesopotamian River Valley (in present day Iraq) were also created by White Mediterranean and Proto-Nordic racial types, as can be seen by the large number of surviving artifacts and images dating from this period in early White history.

EUROPE - ORGANIZED FARMING AND COPPER

Cereal grain farms were established in central Europe by 8000 BC (almost simultaneous with the Mesopotamian "Fertile Crescent" River Valley crop cultivation) with some of the best preserved farming settlements in France and Britain have been positively dated as being in existence prior to 4000 BC.

Significantly, copper working had been established in the Balkans by the year 5000 BC - some 2000 years before the first civilization in the Mesopotamian River Valley.

In Neolithic Europe, where wood was abundant, rectangular timber houses were constructed. Some had two rooms and even gabled roofs. Remains found in Switzerland dating from around 5000 BC show that even on soft, swampy ground, the builders were able to erect houses by first laying down wooden foundations or on piles going deep into the ground.

By the year 5000 BC, White Neolithic settlements had taken on the form of established villages, towns and in a few cases, even cities, scattered throughout Europe, western and southern Russia.

These early Neolithic farmers cultivated cereals, and kept domesticated animals such as pigs, cattle and dogs. Farms were established across the European continent, with some of the best preserved sites being found in Ireland.

Their tools and hunting weapons were mostly made of flint, and their houses of timber. Clothes were made of leather, and there is also evidence of weaving. Other small implements were made of antler and bone, and they have left many examples of fairly sophisticated pottery.

BURIAL MOUNDS EXPOSE RACIAL MAKE-UP

The leaders of this early White society were buried according to religious rituals which are now unfortunately lost - but the physical graves are a good source of knowledge about their society as a whole. Important leaders were buried in specially constructed narrow mounds called barrows. The existence of these grave sites - and a number of chance discoveries of less important graves - have served as valuable indicators of the racial make-up of these early Europeans.

The general rule is that the further north, the more dominant Nordic or Proto-Nordic, while in places like Britain and central Europe, there were a significant number of Alpine and Mediterranean racial types.

OLD EUROPEAN LINEAR SCRIPT - 4000 BC - BASIS FOR RUNES

These original continental European inhabitants had also developed a form of writing - called Old European linear script - around the year 4000 BC. The exact origins of this language are lost (there is evidence that some or all of it may have come from Indo-European or Nordic invaders who penetrated Europe from their bases in Southern Russia around this time). This language most likely laid the basis for sharp angular writing known as runes.

Above: Undeciphered writing

in Tartaria, Rumania, and

competes with the Azilian
script for the claim to the
oldest writing on earth.

FIRED POTTERY AND GOLD WORKING IN BALKANS

Hand fired pottery was produced in the Balkans around 6500 BC. Cities of more than 1000 inhabitants - huge by the standards of the time - had been established approximately by the year 5000 BC.

There are copper mine shafts - some 20 meters deep - still existing in the Balkans which date from before the year 4000 BC.

Gold worked jewelry discovered in the Balkans predates the gold working skills of the Egyptians by at least 1600 years. By the year 2500 BC, copper working had spread all over continental Europe, with archaeological evidence being found of extensive trade between settlements in England, France, Holland and into central Europe .

CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT - IRON WORKING 1000BC

The introduction of iron working into Western and Northern Europe - around the year 1000 BC - from central Europe and the Near East - ushered in a new era, and it is from approximately this time that the early West Europeans started building hill top forts, which later evolved into castles. These hill top forts are scattered all over Europe, and some remained in use as forts right until the time of early Christianity, some 1600 years later.

MEGALITHS - FORMIDABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

In many parts of Europe, the longest lasting remnants of this era are the megaliths ("large stones") which may have had some religious or recreational purpose. Massive blocks of stone, and sometimes wood, were moved great distances and erected in chosen areas throughout Europe, from Britain right across the continent, some even as far as the Black Sea - in Southern Russia - a stupendous achievement.

The most famous of these megalith sites is Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, which was built in stages, the first part being erected between 3500 BC and 3000 BC.

Above: Stonehenge, England, circa 3500 - 1500 BC. Neolithic Period. The stones used at Stonehenge were cut on site and used an ingenious ball and joint system to lock into place, as illustrated above. The ball can still be clearly seen on the top of the upright stone, left. The White people who built Megalith monuments such as these were no intellectual or technical barbarians, proving wrong the often malicious propaganda portraying the inhabitants of early Europe as savage barbarians who lived in caves.

Above: Building Megaliths was no easy task. The effort required to pull one of the massive stones erect was in itself a marathon effort, and then raising the equally huge lintels onto the top of other stones required a great deal of planning and foresight. Exactly how the early Whites did it is still a puzzle to archeology. These illustrations of how the stones were raised and of how a lintel was placed are the most commonly accepted theories of how these superhuman feats were achieved thousands of years ago.

To put this in perspective: the first stage of Stonehenge was built about 1000 years before the great Egyptian pyramids were built. (The last part of Stonehenge was built around the year 1000 BC - hundreds of years before even the Greek and Roman civilizations.) Neolithic farmers in Europe created a number of other impressive structures predating even Stonehenge.

One of the earliest is situated quite close to Stonehenge, called (confusingly) Robin Hood's Ball, which consists of what appear to be circular foundations for either a large hall or number of buildings and a grave site (judging by the human remains found in surrounding ditches). This structure dates from the very early Neolithic time, around 4000 BC, and indicates the establishment of set social structures at this early stage of European history.

Often overlooked as historical evidence for the technological ability of the Neolithic settlements are the burial chambers and tombs which are scattered over large parts of Europe: some of the oldest megalithic chamber tombs had been radio carbon dated at 6000 BC - some 3,500 years older than the famous Egyptian pyramids.

Above left: Megalith temple, Malta, circa 3000 BC. Above right: Neolithic Hall, Bories, near Gordes in France.

Above: Megalith tomb walls, intricately carved, dating from before 3000 BC, Brittany, France

There are four types of megaliths: the menhir, or monolith, a single standing stone often of great size; a set of menhirs set in a circle, as at Stonehenge in England; a row of menhirs such as those to be found at Carnac in France; and the burial chamber, or chamber tomb, sometimes called a dolmen.

The chamber tombs are the most common type of megalith : more than 50,000 examples have been found on the European continent. Some of these tombs' interiors were decorated with intricate stone carvings and geometrical patterns, making stunning viewing even thousands of years after they were created.

The "Lux et Orient" or "All light comes from the East" dogma which Christianity introduced, held that all progress and civilization came from the Middle East. With accurate dating methods and intensified archeological research, it has now been shown that advanced civilizations flourished in Europe, sometimes thousands of years before similar technological advances were made in the Middle East.

One of the oldest pyramids in the world is to be found near the present day town of Marlborough, in Wiltshire, Britain. Called Silbury Hill, it is the largest prehistoric mound anywhere in Europe, standing nearly 40 meters high. It dates from around 2660 BC, preceding the great pyramids of Egypt. Although today covered with soil, excavations have revealed a carefully constructed step pyramid under the silt (as shown in the illustration below). The exact purpose of the pyramid is unknown, but it forms part of the great Avebury stone ring complex, which includes a stone circle larger than Stonehenge and a series of barrow tombs. The enormity of the building stands as a monument to the intellectual abilities of the Whites of early Britain. These were no uncivilized barbarians who erected these technically sophisticated structures.

WORLD'S OLDEST CITIES - 7000 BC

The growth of Neolithic settlements in Europe were matched by the growth of similar settlements in the Middle and Near East, with once again the majority of the population being Mediterranean racial types with a not insignificant number of Proto-Nordics accompanying them, very often as tribal leaders (a tradition which was most pronounced in Egypt).

By 7000 BC a town of mud brick houses and town walls had been built by Mediterraneans at the site now known as Jericho in Palestine. In Anatolia, Turkey, remains of another major city, Catal Huyuk, have been excavated, dating from approximately 6200 BC. This city also possessed brick making facilities, as well as the already established cereal crop cultivations.

Above: A reconstruction of the first city in the world, Catal Huyuk, Anatolia, present day Turkey. This city flourished from about 6250 BC to 5400 BC, and was excavated in part in 1961. The photo below left, shows the rectangular shape of the buildings: as there is no readily available stone to build defensive walls, the buildings were made to face inwards, with no windows on the outside. The only entrance to the city was through ladders leading onto the roofs of the outside buildings. The streetless city offered a high degree of protection from outside attackers in this way - if under attack, the outside ladders were withdrawn, and any would be attacker was faced with a solid wall and no gate or other weak point. This city marked a revolution in Neolithic settlements. The people of Catal Huyuk were most likely farmers and cattle herders who needed to live closely to the broad plain stretching to the north of the city. Hence the shrine discovered in the city, below left, which appears to be linked to some sort of Bull cult.

All over the near East around the year 5000 BC farming villages were established upon which the non-food producing professions could be built. At this time pottery made its appearance in large quantities throughout the areas of Neolithic settlement. In the Middle and Near East, these racial types were eventually displaced and intermingled with massive waves of Semitic, Arabic, along with imported Negroid slaves and eventually even Mongoloid invaders. It is from this mixture that the modern Egyptian and many other North Africans are descended.

OLD EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION

With the creation of fixed settlements and continuous, albeit slow, technological advances, it became inevitable that these communities would take their next great step: the creation of a system of literacy and law establishing a formal social contract between the individuals making up the communities.

The creation of fixed settlements in Europe and the Near East as a result of the farming revolution known as the Neolithic age laid the basis for the next great leap in White civilization: the establishment of Old European civilizations in central Europe and in the Near East.

Chapter 4: Laying the Foundations
- The Old European Civilizations

PART ONE: CRETE AND TROY

As the Neolithic revolution became more widespread and larger fixed settlements began to spring up, it became inevitable that these Old Europeans and Proto-Nordic types would start establishing formal societies. The so called "Old European" civilizations then came into being, laying much of the groundwork for the later development of Classical Greece and Rome. Although these Old European civilizations were in fact quite distinct from classical Greece and Rome, they are often mistakenly thought of as one and the same thing.

The original, or Old European settlements, dominated huge areas of Europe and Russia, stretching from Italy right through to the Black sea, including all of modern Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and part of the Ukraine.

The crucial difference is however that the Old European civilizations were created by the original continental Europeans (Proto-Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean, with the latter two being in the majority) while the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome received their impetus from Indo-European or Nordic invasions which had started around 5000 BC.

Above: A statue of a goddess
from the Old European
civilization of Crete. A large
number of artifacts such as
these have survived in
remarkably good condition,

opportunity to observe
the racial types of the Old
Europeans.

The continental Old European civilizations in the Aegean were the Cretan civilization, centered at Knossos on the island of Crete; the city state of Troy situated adjacent to the Dardanelles in Asia Minor; certain smaller city states on the Greek mainland; and the Etruscans in Italy.

These city states were the first to fall before the great Indo-European invasions, people who had mastered the art of copper working. Absorbed into the Indo-European peoples, the Old Europeans largely disappeared and this mix of White peoples laid the basis for the Mycenaean culture which replaced the Cretan civilization as the dominant force in the Aegean.

CRETE - WORLD'S FIRST FLUSHING TOILETS


The island of Crete, situated to the south of Greece, was the home to the Cretan civilization, also known as the Minoan civilization (named after Minos, in legend the most powerful of the Cretan kings).

The original Mediterranean racial composition of this first Cretan civilization has been confirmed by the anatomists Bowdy Dawkins, W.L.H. Duckworth and Felix von Lauschan, all of whom excavated and examined skeletal remains on Crete: their unanimous conclusion was that the Cretans were all members of the (now virtually extinct) Mediterranean sub race. (Race, John R. Baker, Oxford University Press, 1974, page 516).

This skeletal evidence is backed up by the art forms left by the Cretans themselves, particularly in the depictions of social events which are still existent on the walls of the now ruined great Cretan palace at Knossos.

By the year 3000 BC, Crete had contact with the budding Egyptian civilization, and many Cretan religious customs and social habits were taken directly from Egypt. Being an island state, it would be fairly logical that the Cretans would possess well developed seafaring skills.

The Cretans were governed by a priest king who had his residence at Knossos. This palace rose several stories high and was the ultimate in luxury at the time.

An excellent image of three Old European, or Mediterranean,
racial types, taken from a surviving fresco on the walls of the ruins of the
palace at Knossos. The links between this ancient civilization and ancient
Egypt are confirmed through surviving records and the fact that the artists
at Knossos followed the Egyptian convention of painting males with red skins
and females with white skins.

The city of Knossos itself appears to have been destroyed by an earthquake in 1400 BC - the result of the titanic volcanic eruption which destroyed the neighboring island civilization of Santorini. However, enough artifacts have survived to enable a clear picture of the racial types who inhabited the island to be formed. Most of the walls were of painted plaster, decorated with elaborate frescoes, with the most famous being of a Cretan national sport, "bull jumping" - where brave athletes would grab a charging bull by the horns and somersault backwards over the length of the bull's body.

Above: A reconstruction of the palace of Knossos on the island of Crete - a magnificent
example of Old European civilization at its height. The palace remains suffered earthquake
damage and possible war damage after the Old European civilizations were toppled by
Nordic Indo-European invaders. The reconstruction is based on archaeological evidence
and images discovered on site.



Above: A general view of the site of Knossos as it may be seen today.Knossos was also the
site of the legendary Minotaur, or half bull, half man creature in Greek mythology, and of
the labyrinth or maze in which the Minotaur lived.



Above: The oldest existing throne in the world - the Throne of Minos, still in its original
place in the remains of Knossos, cut out of stone and built into the wall, circa 2000 BC.



Above: A wall painting of a Minoan fisherman, found on the Island of Thera, a Minoan
outpost just to the north of Crete.

Minoan art provides fascinating insights into the nature of the society at the time - men and women dressed for the warm climate, with women bare breasted, and men beardless. Ancient Cretans followed the Egyptian artistic convention of painting males with red skins and females with white skins. Flowers, plants, sea creatures and dolphins feature prominently in their art forms, indicating that their society was advanced and wealthy enough to concern itself beyond just basic survival activities.

One interesting original produced by the Cretan palace of Knossos was a running water sanitation system - the first "flushing" toilet in the world.

The exact date of the collapse of the Cretan civilization is unfortunately not recorded, but it stopped functioning as a cultural unit when the island was invaded by an Indo-European Nordic tribe, the Mycenaeans, around the year 1500 BC.

The Cretans were thereafter physically absorbed into the Mycenaeans, and later became an integral part of the civilization of classical Greece.

In 1900, a British archaeologist, Sir Arthur Evans, rediscovered Knossos and found baked clay tablets with two types of writing, dating from around 2000 BC. These are called Linear A and Linear B scripts, possibly the oldest identifiable forms of European continental writing (if the "writing stone" found at the Caves of Mes d' Azil in France and the Tartaria Tablet from Romania are discounted).

Later research showed that the Linear B script was a form of Mycenaean writing, (and which has been deciphered) while the Linear A script was original Cretan (and which has not been deciphered).

Above: A clay tablet with Linear Script B, circa 1800 BC. Indo-European

CITY OF TROY - FIRST BUILT 3000 BC

Around the year 750 BC, two great epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, were set down and attributed to the blind poet Homer. The Iliad describes the war between the Greek city states and the city of Troy, while the Odyssey tells of the adventures of an Ionian king Odysseus, during his return journey home after the war with Troy ended.

For many years the city of Troy was thought to exist only in Homer's poems and was associated with the famous story of the Wooden Horse. The city of Troy was however, actually discovered in 1870 by an amateur archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann. Instead of discovering just one city, Schliemann unearthed a total of nine cities, all built on top of one another, indicating a whole period of history about which very little is known.

The earliest city on the site dates from about 3000 BC and the various cities (called Troy I - IX) were alternatively destroyed by earthquakes, fire or war, as recounted in Homer's poems. It is difficult to state for certainty how much of the wooden horse story is true (where Greek soldiers are supposed to have infiltrated the city of Troy hidden in a trick wooden horse after unsuccessfully having besieged Troy for nearly ten years) but it is likely to have some basis in fact as Troy and many Greek City States were at war with one another around the year 1,200 BC.

The last Trojan city, number IX, appears to have been a Greek and later a Roman city known as Ilium. As with Crete, the date of the exact end of Troy has also been lost with the passage of time.

Above left: Once thought only to exist in the imagination of the poet Homer, the city of
Troy did in fact exist and was discovered by the German archeologist, Heinrich Schliemann.
Nine different cities were built on the site, one on top of each other, and very little is known
about some of the earliest. The photograph above, shows the main north eastern tower of
the sixth city; the steps to the right and the walls next to the steps and at the base of the
tower date from the eighth city. The wall at the very left of the picture dates from the city
built by the Romans on the spot. Troy was originally founded by the Old European civilizations
and was occupied by numerous powers during its history:
hence the nine different layers which were found.

Above right: A Trojan bowman, carved from marble. A figure on the east facade of the
temple of Aphaia, in Aegina, Greece.

By the time Troy had fallen, the great Indo-European invasions of the Greek mainland had already started, and it is possible that the city itself may at one stage have been destroyed during one of these invasions.

- The Old European Civilizations

PART TWO: THE ETRUSCANS, THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH INDIA

THE ETRUSCANS - ORIGINS NORTH OF THE ALPS


The Etruscans became one of the original Mediterranean and Proto-Nordic peoples living in the Italian peninsula before the Indo-European invaders reached that part of the world. Originally called the Villanovans (after a place where they lived), the Etruscans appear to have penetrated Italy from somewhere north of the Alps and seem to have had close contact with some of the Old European civilizations in the Aegean sea, as they adopted Greek characters for writing their language.

Villanovan grave sites have revealed a rich yield of impressive worked metal armor and personal artifacts, some dating from 1000 BC, the time when iron working first became widespread in Italy.

With the advantage provided by iron weapons, the Etruscans quickly subdued other original Mediterranean peoples in Italy, and established a state running from the North in the Po River valley to about a third of the way from the end of the Italian peninsula.

Their most notable achievement was however the settlement of some towns and concentrated urban areas, one of which was later to become the city state of Rome.

BC. Wall painting, Tomb of Orcus, Tarquina

With the arrival of new invading Indo-European tribes - in this case the most important being the Latini - the Etruscans were absorbed into the new Roman state, with the last official Etruscan king being expelled from Rome in 509 BC.

After a few hundred years, the assimilation process between the Etruscans and the Indo-European Latini tribe - the Romans - had reached the point where the Romans offered the Etruscans full Roman citizenship by 100 BC. By this time the Etruscan heritage had been completely taken up into the new power which was to dominate the known world in a way not seen before: the Roman Empire.


MIDDLE AND NEAR EAST

In addition to the Old European civilizations on the European continent, the Mediterranean and Proto-Nordic sub-racial groupings had by 4000 BC also occupied much of what is today known as the Middle East - from Egypt through to the "Fertile Crescent", the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, now lying in modern day Iraq.

These original Mediterraneans were responsible for many of the civilizations in that region. They were subject to almost constant invasion: either by waves of Nordic Indo-Europeans from the north, or by waves of invading Semites, from the south. Sometimes these Old Europeans managed to defeat the invaders, but more often than not they were unable to resist. In this way they were gradually absorbed into the gene pools of their conquerors - these events are reviewed in another chapter.


ANCIENT WHITE CIVILIZATION IN INDIA CIRCA 2500 BC - THE INDUS RIVER VALLEY

Above: A bust recovered from Mohenjo-
Daro showing the racial type of the
original inhabitants of this civilization,
which extended as far north as the
borders of modern day Afghanistan.
These White Mediterraneans were
absorbed into two sets of outsiders:
the non-White dark skinned locals and
eventually Nordic Indo-Aryan invaders
around 1500 BC. A detailed study of the
racial composition of the inhabitants of
this region - taken from grave sites -
confirms the great mix of racial types
and then ultimately the vanishing of the
original Old Europeans into this new
mixed population.

One of the most far-flung of the Old European settlements is to be found centered in modern day northern India. Known as the Harappan culture (after an excavated city, Harappa in modern Pakistan) or the Indus Valley Civilization, it was unknown until 1927 when the first major excavations took place. The remains of settlements belonging to this culture have been found throughout the Indus River valley in Pakistan, westward along the coast to the Iranian border, in India’s northwestern states as far east as New Delhi and on the Oxus River in northern Afghanistan.


OLD EUROPEAN SKULLS FOUND IN MODERN PAKISTAN

The Old European - White Mediterranean - racial makeup of the people who created the Indus River Valley civilization has been proven by an examination of skulls and skeletal remains, undertaken by Col. R.B.S. Selwell and Dr. B.S. Guha of the Zoological Society of India, who both conclusively found that virtually all were of the Mediterranean sub race. (Chapter 11, in Marshall, J, Mohenjo-Daro and the Indus Civilization, 1931, London.)


FIRST WHITE SETTLEMENT CIRCA 2500 BC

The first Old European settlement of the region was made around 2500 BC, when the White Mediterraneans probably arrived after trekking from the Tigris and Euphrates river valley. In the region, they found darker natives, whom they easily subjected.

The Old European civilization lasted until the region was invaded by Indo-European Nordics around 1500 BC. The two major cities of the Indus Valley civilization were Mohenjo Daro, in the lower Sind, and Harappa in the Punjab. As a result, the civilization has also become known as the Harappan civilization.

In many respects the cities of the Old European Indus Valley civilization are almost identical to that of other old European civilizations, particularly that at Knossos on Crete. Even the layout of the cities, with their huge square buildings, is identical.


MOHENJO-DARO - THE LARGEST CITY - 40,000 INHABITANTS

The major site in this region is the city of Mohenjo-Daro. The remains of this citadel - excavated between 1927 and 1930 - bears huge physical resemblances with the Old European settlements in early Mesopotamia and Crete. At its peak, Mohenjo-Daro must have had over 40,000 inhabitants, a substantial amount for the time. The city was based on an advanced grid plan layout, with streets running in very clearly arranged city blocks.

The Old European Indus River Valley civilization. In 1921 the first excavations
were undertaken of this White Mediterranean civilization situated in the present
day Sind and Punjab regions of India. Settled by Old Europeans around 2500 BC,
possibly migrants from the Tigris/Euphrates River area, the greatest city of this
civilization was Mohenjo-Daro, whose ruins (above left) and water borne sewerage
system (above right) are architectural wonders.

ADVANCED WATER RETICULATED SEWERAGE SYSTEM

The most astonishing aspect of the city however remains the sewerage system - the people of Mohenjo-Daro developed both public and private hygiene to a degree unmatched in many parts of the modern world. Each house, large or small, was provided with earthenware pipe fitted crossways into the walls and opening into a small individual gutter. This in turn, joined central covered sewers. At intervals there were decantation ditches where the main sewers joined. These were designed to collect the heaviest waste so that it would not obstruct the mains.

The houses also all had baths - another innovation for the time - and the water for this purpose was supplied from the many wells throughout the city, some accessible from the streets, and others incorporated into the houses themselves. All the Indus River Valley civilization towns show great building works and an orderly administration built upon an agricultural economy.

Many of the houses were built on mud-brick platforms that protected the buildings from seasonal floods, and multiple story dwellings were common. Other structures included large buildings that may have been used for storing grain and for government. The Old European inhabitants of The Indus River Valley had also developed pictographic writing. A large number of clay seals bearing this language have been recovered, but sadly has never been deciphered.


1500 BC: OLD EUROPEANS ABSORBED INTO DARK NATIVES AND NORDIC INDO-EUROPEAN INVADERS

It is often suggested that the drying up of a major river in North India - the Hakra River - was the cause of the collapse of the Indus River Valley civilization. This however is not the likely cause of the collapse of the entire culture, spread out, as it was, far further than just around one river.

The real reason for the disappearance of the people of the Indus River Valley is in fact much simpler - like all of the Old European civilizations, the Indus Valley Harappans were to be overwhelmed and integrated into other peoples, be they the dark natives or the new White invaders, the Indo-European Aryans (as detailed in chapter 5).

In this way all the original White Mediterranean civilizations - from western Europe right through to northern India - were all but wiped out through racial assimilation.

A History Of The White Race

Chapter 5: Born of the Black Sea - The Indo-European Invasions

Many modern day Whites are either direct or part descendants of a great wave of White peoples who swept into Europe from about 5500 BC till around 500 BC. These peoples, Nordic in terms of the White racial sub-groupings, had their original heartland in the region known today as central and southern Russia. (Genetic studies of European populations which have emerged since the year 2000 have confirmed the Indo-European invasion, but have also shown that it was not as numerically overwhelming as previously thought).

Research by Robert Ballard and National Geographic Magazine has proven that the Black Sea basin was flooded from the Mediterranean around 5600 BC- and that this was the probable cause of the first great Indo-European movement. With the aid of the horse, the first Indo-Europeans moved in all directions, disrupting the slow but steady pace of development everywhere they went. Large numbers settled in northern Europe, staying there till they later began again to move south; others moved off to the Middle and Near East, while others ventured west, crossing into Britain and Spain.

Leaving the Black Sea Basin, the Nordic Indo-European peoples invaded Europe and Asia. Europe was settled by four main groups: the Celts, the Germans, the Balts and the Slavs. In the south they settled pre-dynastic Egypt and the Middle East, penetrating India (the Indo-Aryans); Afghanistan (the Aryans); and China - see chapter six. The difference between the western and eastern migrations of the Indo-Europeans was that in the west they mixed with genetically similar populations - while in the east they mixed with, and were eventually submerged by, genetically dissimilar peoples.

NORDIC "BATTLE AXE PEOPLE" - THEIR IRON-MAKING ADVANTAGE

These Nordics slowly crept westward, invading and re-invading western Europe for a period of nearly 6000 years, finally resulting in the establishment of a new Nordic heartland in northern Europe.

Their great advantage over the already existing White Mediterranean and Proto-Nordic populations was that they brought with them the secret of iron working: this is why some became known as the "battle axe people".

From this heartland in northern Europe - the womb of nations (vagina gentium, as the Romans called the region) successive waves of Indo-European Nordic invaders swept down over a period of centuries into all parts of Europe and into the Near East, conquering or displacing the peoples they found.

These original Nordic tribes had stone buildings and worked bronze and copper. How much of this metal working skill was passed south to the Middle Eastern civilizations remains a matter of debate.

However, what is certain is that successive waves of Nordic tribes started invading central and southern Europe in earnest about 2000 BC, and caused the Old European civilizations to topple. Nordic tribes occupied large regions of Turkey, Crete, Greece and southern Europe and Italy.

The invading Nordics soon integrated with the largely Mediterranean populations of these areas and in many cases provided the leadership elite of these territories.

Some Nordic tribes migrated into the Far East - as far as China, where Nordic remains have been found in burial chambers. The Indo-European Nordic tribes were responsible for many of the world's principal civilizations: the Aryans in India, the Kassites, the Hittites, Persian, Mycenaean, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavic and latter day Western European cultures.

THE INDO-EUROPEAN INVASIONS - PART ONE


EUROPE

The largest Indo-European invasion of Europe was carried out by four main groups:

• - The Celts;
• - The Germans;
• - The Balts; and
• - The Slavs.

All of these four major groupings arrived in the European continent in waves from around 4000 BC up to as late as 500 BC.

Above: The great Nordic Indo-European invasions of Europe took place in four main waves, and then in a number of sub-waves. Each sub-wave was a smaller tribe from one of the four major migrations. Leaving their ancestral homeland in the Caucasus, the Celts (1); the Germans (2), the Balts (3) and the Slavs (4) settled different regions of Europe, often giving their names to those regions. Sub-waves of note included the Mycenae (1A) into Greece and the Latini (1B) into Italy - both of these sparked off the great Classical civilizations for which those lands became famous. In all of these regions, the invaders found the already present population of Old Europeans to be largely racially assimilable. Hence the Latini mixed with the Etruscans in Italy, producing a Nordic/Mediterranean mix which typified the original Roman type. The same process occurred in Ireland, which is the cause of the "Irish look" varying between Nordic (blue eyed and blonde) and dark hair and dark eyes, or dark hair and light eyes.

The word Celt itself derived from the word Keltoi, the name given to the invaders by the Greek writer Herodotus. To the Romans, the Celts were known as Galli, or Gauls; and in British Isles as Britanni.

Celtic tribes invaded Greece and Italy. In 390 BC Celts sacked Rome itself, and followed this up with a raid on the holy Greek site of Delphi in 279 BC.

Although these Indo-European tribes used different names, they were all of common Nordic sub-racial stock. Their languages all stemmed from a single proto-Indo-European language, which formed at a time when all of their ancestors lived together in their original Indo-European heartland in modern day Russia.

The influx of a relatively large amount of new Nordic sub-groupings into Europe affected the racial make-up of the various regions in different ways, depending upon the nature of the already existing original European population living there.

In areas where there was a sparse population, or where there was a greater degree of Proto-Nordics living, the Indo-Europeans maintained to a greater degree their Nordic characteristics.

Where there was an already existing Proto-Nordic/Alpine/Mediterranean mix, the nordicism of the new arrivals was soon diluted. The least populated areas and the least Alpine/Mediterranean peoples were in northern and western Europe, and these areas became a new Nordic heartland, a situation which has remained unaltered until very recently.

BRITAIN NAMED AFTER BRITANNI CELTS

By 600 BC, the Britanni Celts had occupied much of what is today known as western Europe - France, parts of the Low Countries (Belgium, Holland), Britain and Spain. The very names Brittany (in France) and Britain itself are derived from this group.

These Celts migrating westward found the regions relatively sparsely populated with an already quite mixed Proto-Nordic/Alpine/Mediterranean peoples. In most parts the Celts mixed easily with these groupings, producing a wide range of sub-grouping racial types. This has led to the Celtic "look" varying between the typical short, brown-eyed and haired "Celtic" Welshman; and the red-haired blue-eyed Scotsman also being a called a "Celt."

These western European Celts were later to be overrun by the descendants of other Indo-European tribes who had invaded Italy and had become the Romans.

THE GERMANS AND BALTS IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE

The Germani Indo-European tribes initially settled in what is today Denmark and southern Scandinavia around the year 4000 BC, but soon thereafter starting moving south, closer to central Europe, later giving their name to Germany.

The Balts occupied the northern coast of the continent (giving their name to the Baltic sea) and the Scandinavian countries (dominating them, with the notable exception of Finland, which has to this day retained a large part of its original Alpine/Mediterranean population make-up).

Above: A wagon which summarizes the technical sophistication of pre-Roman Germans: The Dejbjerg wagon from Denmark, circa 500 BC, includes an astonishingly sophisticated roller bearing system of wooden pins in a bronze brace, to facilitate the turning of the wheel on its axle. Such sophisticated technology shows that the pre-Roman Empire Celts, Germans, Balts and Slavs were actually not "barbarians" at all but highly developed people capable of stunning technological feats. (National Museum, Copenhagen).

From 1800 to 400 BC, Celts in southern Germany and Austria developed two advanced metalworking cultures, named by archaeologists after the places where the most plentiful artifacts were found: Urnfield and Hallstatt in Upper Austria. The skills developed in each of these two spread throughout Europe - they introduced the use of iron for tools and weapons.

In Central Europe the Germans also established themselves in a wide belt running from eastern France through to Poland and south into the Balkans. It is presumed that advance parties of Germans could also have been responsible for the wave of Indo-European peoples called the Latini, who penetrated Italy around this time.

THE CELTS INVADE SOUTHERN EUROPE

A tribe of Indo-Europeans called the Latini penetrated as far south as Italy, taking control of that peninsula and mixing with the existing original European populations in Italy, and creating what was later to become the world's greatest empire - Rome. The Latini gave their name to the language they carried with them, Latin. In an act of irony, Roman military power was to later overwhelm their distant Indo-European cousins, the Celts in France and Britain, but was in turn to be overrun by the descendants of the Indo-European Germans.

The Latini were not the only Celts to move down the Italian peninsula. Around 400 BC yet another tribe of Celts invaded Northern Italy, drove out an Etruscan settlement and founded the city of Milan. In 390 BC, a Celtic army even succeeded in invading the city of Rome itself, and only left once the Romans had paid them a ransom in gold.

In southern France and Spain the Celts met and mixed with a well established Mediterranean population, losing much of their original Nordic physiology because of the far greater number of Mediterraneans present in that region. Many of these Celtic/Mediterranean peoples in Spain were later to be occupied by Arabic Islamic armies during the first thousand years AD. Intermingling with the Arabic conquerors produced many people in Spain who are actually Celtic/Mediterranean/Arabic mixes, displaying none of the physical characteristics of their original Indo-European ancestors.

Greece, circa 4th Century BC.

There are however still many examples of original Celtic and Mediterranean peoples in Spain to this day, even if they are declining in number.


MYCENAE - THE FIRST INDO-EUROPEAN INVADERS IN SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE[/SIZE]

The Greek mainland, which was occupied by original Old European Mediterranean types, fell before an invasion of Indo-Europeans called the Mycenae - this tribe were the first to establish the basis upon which the classical Grecian age was to built, albeit only after yet another wave of Nordic invaders.

The Mycenae arose on a part of the Greek mainland known as the Peloponnesus, around 1900 BC with the sudden appearance of migratory Nordic tribes who quickly absorbed the local population. There is evidence that the Mycenae had contact with yet another invading Indo-European tribe, the Hittites, as evidence of trading activity exists between these two peoples.

On the Greek mainland, many towns started emerging at this time, and Mycenaean colonies were established on the coast of Turkey and even as far as Syria. Mycenaeans are regarded as the forerunners of the classic Greek civilization and they left a magnificent city at Mycenae, whose most famous inhabitant was the king Agamemnon.

Mycenae was sacked and destroyed in 1100 BC by an invasion of yet another Nordic tribe, the Dorics. The descendants of the Dorics were known as the Spartans and the Corinthians, two peoples later to feature dramatically in Greek history. The destruction of Mycenae caused many Mycenaeans to flee the Peloponnesus, and a sizable number went to the east cost of today's Turkey.

Above: The Lion Gate at Mycenae,
circa 1,500 BC.

This coastal settlement became known as Ionia, and the Ionian civilization retained the rich legacy of Mycenae and also added elements of Lydian culture. The civilization that was later to rise to great heights in Athens, was born in Ionia.

THE DORICS - FOUNDERS OF GREECE 1100 BC

Starting about 1100 BC, a new wave of Indo-European Nordics invaded Greece from the north: the Dorics. The period from the time of the Dorian invasion (1100 BC) to about 750 BC, is known for the introduction of iron working to the Grecian peninsula. The time of the Dorian Age is known to historians as the Homeric Age, because little is known about it except from the writings of the poet Homer, in his epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey.

SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE DORICS

Homeric age man was apparently warlike, brave and desirous of hardship. By all accounts it seems that Homeric man had all of these three attributes in abundance.

The economies of the time were essentially subsistence agricultural systems with a government made up of tribal kings and advisors drawn from important noble families.

It was at about this time that the city state, or polis, was started. Each city had an elevated fortified site, known as its acropolis - where the city's important inhabitants could take refuge or gather to worship their gods.

In time the place directly below the acropolis developed a residential and trading area known as the asty. The asty and the acropolis combined under one central jurisdictive rule, and this unit became known as the polis. The very word politics is derived from this Greek word, polis.

THE SLAVS - FROM THE CAULDRON OF CONFLICT

Of all the Indo-European peoples who settled in Europe around 2000 BC - during the great Nordic invasions, a group which became known as the Slavs settled the closest to the ancestral homelands in southern Russia.

The land they settled - today known as the Ukraine and Byelorussia ("White" Russia) - was ideal for cereal farming and this encouraged the settlers to turn to agriculture rather than war or conquest. By 1000 BC, these Indo-European forerunners of the Slavs had started to move westward, occupying territory around the Vistula River, in present day Poland.

Above: This somewhat idealized painting is of a Slav funeral pyre for one of their chieftains around the year 900AD. In common with many Indo-Europeans, the Slavs traditionally cremated their important dead. Where burial was chosen over cremation, it was also common to bury all the chief 's artifacts with the corpse. This painting was made based on a description provided by a visitor to southern Russia at the time, and it is significant that the account had a Viking style boat in the picture - a sure indication that the original Slavs were of virtually identical racial and cultural stock to the Indo-Europeans who settled in Scandinavia and who became Vikings.

Around 700 BC, the whole region was conquered by yet another Indo-European tribe, the Scythians, who appeared from the south (where another branch of that tribe had penetrated into Asia Minor and the Near East).

By 200 BC, the Scythians had mastered much of the area, easily outfighting the agricultural Slavic farmers. However by 100 BC another - one of the last - Indo-European invaders, a tribe called the Sarmatians, had replaced the Scythians as masters of the Slavic lands, and the last of the Scythian peoples were absorbed into the new Indo-European conquerors, the two groups being racially virtually identical.

By 600 AD, another tribe of Indo-Europeans, the Goths swept down from Northern Europe and conquered the Sarmatians, taking possession of the lands in eastern Europe.

This repeated conquering and reconquering by peoples who all essentially were of the same stock - Indo-European - created the mix known as the Slavs.

Originally then, the Slavs were a virtually pure Indo-European people, and only later were certain elements of the Slavic population to the very east mixed to a small degree with remnants of Mongolian conquerors, creating a number of mixed race Slavic/Mongolian peoples, who quite incorrectly have become to be regarded as "typically Slavic".

Probably because of their proximity to the ancient homeland in southern Russia, the tribes who eventually formed the Slavs retained the cultural traits of their ancestors the longest.

The Indo-European sun worship religion persisted right into the 12th Century amongst the Slavs, and principle amongst their gods was a hammer wielding deity who rode in a chariot - obviously sharing a common mythological ancestry with the Scandinavian god, Thor.

As the Roman Empire began to unravel at the seams, the Slavs started moving westwards, first penetrating into the Balkan peninsula and then into central Europe.

By 650 AD the Slavs had seized the coastline along the Adriatic Sea opposite Italy (today's Albania). They also later penetrated as far south as Turkey, where these elements were swallowed up into the larger mixed race mass occupying that country by that stage in history.

The Slavs in eastern Europe not only bore the brunt of the Mongolian Hunnish invasion of Europe, but also were occupied for well on 1000 years by the Muslim Turks.

The limited mixing that took place with parts of both these conquerors created the dark "Slavic" look associated with many in the region today. Many of these racial types are the result of these mixtures, although there are still of course large numbers of Slavs who show the physical characteristics of their Indo-European ancestors.


CELTIC INNOVATIONS - CHAIN MAIL AND SOAP

These Indo-European tribes may have had a common root, but this did not stop them fighting with each other as much as with anybody else, with each tribe being headed by a king and further divided by class into Druids (priests), warrior nobles, and commoners.

The Roman conquest of south eastern Europe, France and Britain effectively destroyed the Celtic heritage. The Celts were not as literate as the Romans and thus had less of the organizational skills or abilities of their conquerors.

However, the Celts were the inventors of chain link armor, iron horse shoes and were the first to make seamless iron tires for their chariots. Another important Celtic innovation was soap.

In their art forms, the intricacy of which has become legendary, the links the Celts had with other Indo-European tribes is revealed. The Celtic style is marked by a preference for stylized plant motifs, usually of Greek origin, and fantastic animals, derived from the Scythians and other Russian steppe Indo-Europeans. Other favorite designs are elliptical curves and opposing curves, spirals, and chevrons, also derived from Russian steppe art.

Almost all of the original Indo-Europeans worshipped the sun, and the sun wheel image - a circle with a cross through it, dominated many designs. The modern Celtic Cross, regarded today as a Christian symbol, has been directly copied from this original Indo-European root and is originally a very pagan symbol.

Today, Celtic as a language, has survived at only the extreme ends of the area occupied by the Celts - Wales, Scotland and a few areas in Ireland.

PART II - THE ORIGINAL EUROPEAN RELIGION

When reviewing the Indo-European gods, or as they became, the northern European gods, it becomes obvious just how deeply rooted these gods and beliefs are amongst the White peoples to this very day.

Above: An ancient German religious ceremonial chariot, with bronze and gold worked disc and horse, circa 1,400 BC. Found in the Trundholm Bog on the Danish island of Seeland.

Above: Bronze head of the Celtic
Goddess, Rosmetra, wife of Mercury.
German sculpture, circa 250 BC.

Very many of the original Indo-European gods' names were either taken over by Christianity (Hel, the name of the goddess of the underworld was, for example, plagiarized directly by Christianity) or were kept in various forms, so that even five of the seven days of the modern week are named after them, as detailed below.

That this is so should not be surprising: these gods were the main religion of the White people of Europe for at least six thousand years, compared to the less than one thousand years that Christianity has existed in northern Europe to date.

The chief characteristics of this original White religion and its array of gods were:

• The world itself was the product of the great world-tree, Yggdrasil, which reached through all time and space. Yggdrasil was however always under attack from an evil serpent, Nidhogg. The fountain of Mimir, source of hidden wisdom, lay under one of the roots of the tree;
  
  
• Worship of any of these gods was usually conducted in the open - often near holy trees or within arrangements of stones, with the Indo-Europeans using and building even more megalith sites in Europe for this purpose;
  
  
• Odin (also known Odhinn; called Woden by the Anglo-Saxons and Wodan or Woutan by the Germans) was the king of the gods. His two black ravens, Huginn ("Thought") and Muninn ("Memory"), flew all over the world to report on the doings of men and gods alike;
  
  
• Odin's court was in the great citadel of Valhalla, where all brave warriors went after dying in battle. When Odin himself took to travel he used his eight-footed steed, Sleipner; armed himself with his spear, Gungnir, and his most precious jewel, the ring called Draupner;
  
  
• Odin was also the god of wisdom, poetry, and magic, and he sacrificed an eye for the privilege of drinking from Mimir, the fountain of wisdom. Odin had three wives;
  
  
• 
  Above: Thor, son of Odin, striking down
  enemies with his mighty hammer,
  Mjollnir. This picture, painted in 1872,
  shows Thor riding in a chariot
  drawn by goats.
  Thor was the eldest son of Odin and the strongest of the gods. He had a magic hammer, which he threw with the aid of iron gloves and which always returned to him;
  
  
• Odin's other son was Balder (or Baldur), the god of light and joy, was killed after the evil god Loki tricked Baldur's blind twin brother, Hoder, the god of darkness, into killing him; Baldur was god of the sun;
  
  
• Frei or Freyr was the son of the fertility god Njord. Freyr was the god of fruitfulness, prosperity, and peace and the bestower of sunlight and rain. He wakened the earth from the long sleep of winter, and prayers for a bountiful harvest were addressed to him. Frey was the patron god of Sweden; his chief shrine was at Uppsala. His sister was Freya;
  
  
• Freya or Freyja was the goddess of love, fertility, and beauty, sometimes identified as the goddess of battle and death. Blond, blue-eyed, and beautiful, Freya traveled on a golden-bristled boar or in a chariot drawn by cats. In Germany, Freya was sometimes identified with Frigg, the wife of Odin;
  
  
• Frigg or Frigga, was the goddess of the sky and wife of Odin, the chief of the gods. She was worshipped as the protector of married love and housewives. A bunch of keys was her symbol;
  
  
• Tiu was the god of war and battles. He is represented as having only one hand, with some stories having it because he can only give victory to one side, or because it was bitten off by the wolf Fernis;
  
  
• Hel was the goddess of the dead. She dwelt beneath one of the three roots of the sacred ash tree Yggdrasil and was the daughter of Loki, the spirit of mischief or evil. Odin condemned Hel into the underworld and placed her in charge there, never to emerge again;
  
  
• Loki was a giant who represented evil and was possessed of great knowledge and cunning. Loki and Hel, goddess of the underworld, would lead the forces of evil against the gods, in the final battle between good and evil, the "Ragnarok", or end of the days;
  
  
• Besides these major deities, there were a number of other lesser gods who were just as popular from time to time: Hermod, Bragi, and Forseti; Idun, Nanna, and Sif;
  
  

  Above: Freyja, the Indo-European Goddess of love and beauty, riding her chariot drawn by cats. A 19th Century painting.

  
  
• The Valkyries were a band of warrior-maidens who were sometimes portrayed as Odin's own daughters, they included Brunhilde (later to become a central character in a Wagner opera). The Valkyries helped Odin choose which warriors deserved to go to Valhalla after dying in battle. At Valhalla, the warriors would spend their time fighting or feasting until "Ragnarok."

Above: Warrior maidens, sometimes
regarded as the daughters of Odin,
the Valkyries carried the bodies of
slain warriors to Valhalla and there
waited upon them in an
eternal banquet.

FIVE DAYS OF THE WEEK NAMED AFTER THE NORTHERN GODS

• Tuesday is named after Tiu, the god of war; - this day is still called Tisdag in Sweden and Tirsdag in Denmark.
  
  
• Wednesday is named after Wodan, or Wotan / Odin himself (Wodansday). In Sweden and Denmark, the day is called Onsdag.
  
  
• Thursday is directly named after Thor's name (Thorsday),
  
  
• While his mother, Frigg, is remembered in the day called Friday (Frigg's day). Baldur, god of the sun and light, is remembered in Sunday.
  
  
• While the name of the day "Saturday" is not derived from Northern Gods, it is however drawn from the equally pagan and equally Indo-European pre-Christian Roman celebration of Saturnalia.
  
  
• Only the day "Monday", or Day of the Moon, does not have an overtly pre-Christian origin.

A History Of The White Race

Chapter 5: Born of the Black Sea - The Indo-European Invasions

PART III - INDO-EUROPEANS IN THE NEAR AND MIDDLE EAST

In their wanderings south and east the Indo-European tribes took with them various species of north European grain, together with ploughing instruments and cattle species - remains of which have been found all the way from northern Europe into modern day Turkey and further into the Middle East itself.

As with the continental Old European civilizations, the Indo-European tribes started arriving in the Middle East only very shortly after the first Old European society had been established in that region, in the so-called fertile river valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in present day Iraq.

Above: The great Nordic Indo-European invasions of the Middle East took place in fits and starts. Some of the more famous were: the Indo-Aryans (1) to present day India; the Aryans (2) to Afghanistan; the Hittites (3) to the Near East; the Sumerians and Gutians (4) to Mesopotamia; and the Galatians (5) to present day Turkey. Many names of countries in this region - India, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are all directly or indirectly derived from the word "Aryan." Further migrations spread even further into China - this are dealt with in chapter six. The great difference between the western and eastern migrations of the Nordic Indo- Europeans was that in the west they found genetically similar populations with whom they mixed - while in the east they mixed with, and were eventually submerged by, genetically dissimilar peoples. This is the cause of the largely mixed race population of the eastern area of migration as shown above.

Some of the more notable Indo-European Nordic tribes who invaded the Middle East included:

• The Amorites. This was an Indo-European tribe who invaded Asia Minor (Turkey) from the Aegean sea around 1500 BC, and were noted amongst the local people for worshipping a hammer wielding "Thunder God" - obviously related to the North European Thor. Egyptian paintings of the time depict the Amorites (the Egyptians called them the "Amurru") as fair, light eyed men with Nordic features who were still launching attacks on the Egyptian state as late as 1300 BC. A large number of Amorites settled in Palestine, becoming one of the first Indo-European tribes to mix with the Semitic speaking Jewish tribes in that region, hence they later became associated with Semitism.
  
  
• The Scythians overran what is today Palestine, Israel and Lebanon in the 7th Century BC, and some of their light eyed and light haired descendants can still be found amongst the Druse peoples of Lebanon. The Scythians moved through Asia as far as Afghanistan, with forward groups penetrating to the Indus River in India. Many early writers such as Polemon of Ilium, Clement of Alexandria and others, recorded that the Scythians were similar to the Celts in appearance, always being described as "fair or ruddy" in hue.
  
  

  Above: Scythians, as depicted by themselves on a steel bowl found in a Scythian grave site near the Black Sea. At different stages in time the Scythian area of influence stretched from Eastern Europe to the Near and Middle East. In the latter two regions they were overwhelmed by the non-White/mixed race peoples living in those lands, although it is still possible every now and then to see light hair and light eyes - flashbacks to the Nordic invaders of thousands of years ago.

  
  
• The Philistines were an Indo-European Nordic tribe who also invaded the Middle East, coming from Crete and bearing many cultural similarities to the Mycenaean culture. The Philistines established an iron and unpopular rule over the Jewish tribes they found in the region.
  
  
• The Cimmerians were yet another smaller Indo-European tribe who reached the Middle East around the 8th Century BC, establishing a short lived kingdom in the region known today as Northern Iran.
  
  
• The Indo-European Phyrgians reached modern day Armenia around the 8th Century BC, establishing another short lived Indo-European kingdom.
  
  
• Around 900 BC, yet another Indo-European tribe, known as the Persians, reached Azerbaijan, from where they entered modern day Iran, followed closely by the Indo-European Medes tribe. The Persians, who were more numerous, overpowered the Medes and together these two tribes established what became known as the Persian Empire, ruling over a large number of Asiatic and Arabic racial types.

The racial conflict which followed the Indo-European invasion of the region is accurately captured in this detail from the frieze at the great city of Carchemish.

ABSORBED BY NON-WHITE TRIBES

All of these tribes eventually disappeared for the greatest part through interbreeding with the non-Indo-European peoples in the regions they occupied: although it is possible to this day to now and then see genetic throwbacks amongst the peoples of the Middle East - with fair eyes and fair hair - unique to the Indo-Europeans - still showing up from time to time in individuals in that region.

INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGE

The Indo-European language survived the extinction of many of these Indo-European tribes, such was their power and dominance in the regions over which they held sway.

Common Indo-European root words are still easily found in a variety of languages spoken in regions in which the Indo-Europeans left their mark. Some examples were given in chapter one, another good example is the English word "name."

OTHER NORDICS SETTLE IN NEAR EAST

Indo-European tribes who went south and east into the Near East included groups with names such as the Kassites, the Mitanni, the Hittites and the Phyrgians. In Turkey the Celts were known as the Galatians.

Other groups of Indo-Europeans, the Acheans, the Dorians and the Latini, went south west, into the Greek and Italian peninsulas.

After conquering the original Old European civilizations- manned largely by Mediterranean types, the new energetic Nordic tribes then laid the basis for the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.

PART IV - THE ARYANS IN AFGHANISTAN AND INDIA

ARYANA - THE ARYAN ORIGIN OF AFGHANISTAN

Around the year 2000 BC, originating in the Caucasus, a sun worshipping Indo-European tribe calling themselves Aryans, using a language known as Sanskrit, invaded central Asia and occupied territory as far as the north of India. These invaders were what became known as the original Aryans.

In fact, all of those countries spanning their age of conquest bear names directly related to them - India, Iran, Iraq are all corruptions of the original word "Aryan". (Far off distant racial cousins of the Aryans went west, penetrating as far as Ireland, giving the name "Eire" to that land - also a derivative of the word Aryan).

Above: This famous cover of the National Geographic magazine of June 1985 shows a female Afghan refugee fleeing the then Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. The picture is valuable as it vividly demonstrates the left over genetic imprint of the Aryans who founded Afghanistan nearly 4000 years ago. The girl's eyes are green, her hair light brown and her features almost indistinguishable from modern White Europeans. This then represents the last remaining traces of the Aryans in Afghanistan.

After 2000 BC, waves of Aryans flooded into modern day Afghanistan, setting up a nation which became known as Aryana, or "Land of the Aryans." By the middle of the 6th Century BC the Persian Empire had incorporated Aryana into its boundaries, and by 330 BC, Alexander the Great had occupied the region.

By this time most of the original Aryans in Aryana had been absorbed into the local native population, although it is still possible to this day to see light-eyed and light-haired individuals amongst the modern Afghanistan population.

During the 1st Century AD, the Kushans, an Asiatic race, occupied Aryana, with their rule destroying the last vestiges of the original Indo-Aryan culture and race. Thereafter Aryana fell under the rule of a large number of different non-White races, until the 7th Century AD when Arab Muslim armies occupied the region. In 1220 the region was once again overrun by Mongols under Genghis Khan, who devastated the land. By this time the people of Aryana had passed into history - and only that country's name is remembered today.

THE ARYANS AND INDIA

Another branch of the Aryans penetrated as far east as India, where they also settled and built a civilization. Although the Aryans established a powerful White civilization in Northern India, it would be incorrect to think that the native Indians had not created anything of their own. Mixed with original White Mediterraneans, the Indus civilization created by the Harappans was already in existence by the time the Aryans invaded. The invading Aryans were however more advanced and referred to the conquered Indians as "Dasyu" - the "dark ones" or slaves.

Indo-Aryan poetry (the Vedas) are full of stories of war against the Dasyu, and reflected the stark racial divisions between the conquering Aryans and the conquered Indians.


THE RIG VEDA DESCRIBES RACIAL CONFLICT

Quotes from the Rig Veda, the original Holy Book of the Aryan conquerors of India (which has now been corrupted but is still to this day in use as the main Hindu religious text) contains a great many references to the race of the conquerors and the conquered.

According to the Rig Veda, the leader of the Aryan invasion was one Indra, and his role in “slaying the Dasyus” (the Negroids in India) is prominent in the Rig Veda:

"Thou, Indra, art the destroyer of all the cities, the slayer of the Dasyus, the prosperer of man, the lord of the sky." - RgV. VIII 87.6

The Rig Veda goes on to use the word “black” in a number of instances to describe the Dasyu:

"Indra, the slayer of Vrittra, the destroyer of cities, has scattered the Dasyu (hosts) sprang from a black womb." RgV. II 20.6

THE “ARYAN COLOR” – THE RIG VEDA

• The Rig Veda praises the god who "destroyed the Dasyans and protected the Aryan colour." - Rg.V. III 34.9
  
  
• It then goes on to thank the god who "bestowed on his white friends the fields, bestowed the sun, bestowed the waters." - Rg.V. I 100.18
  
  
• Black skin is repeatedly referred to with abhorrence in the Rig Veda: starting with a description of the "black skin" (`Krishnam Vacham') in RgV. IX 41.1, Sam. V I.491 and II.242.
  
  
• For example in RgV. IX 73 it is said that “stormy gods who rush on like furious bulls and scatter the black skin", and it claims that “the black skin, the hated of Indra" will be swept out of heaven - RgV. IX 73.5
  
  
• Rg.V. I 130.8 tells of how the “black skin” was conquered:
  
  
• "Indra protected in battle the Aryan worshipper, he subdued the lawless for Manu, he conquered the black skin."
  
  
• The Rig Veda thanks god for "scattering the slave bands of black descent", and for stamping out "the vile Dasyan colour." - Rg.V. II.20.7, II 12.4
  
  
• It also contains this choice remark which sums up the Aryan’s opinion of their non-White subjects: "Black skin is impious" (‘Dasam varnam adharam’) -Sans., Rg.V. II.12.4

Other extracts from the Rig Veda further illustrate the sharp racial divisions in this time:

• Indra - 1.130.8 - "Indra in battles help his Aryan worshipper, he who hath hundred helps at hand in every fray, in frays that win the light of heaven. Plaguing the lawless he gave up to Manu's seed the dusky skin; Blazing, 'twere, he burns each covetous man away, he burns, the tyrannous away."
  
  
• Indra - 4.16.13 - "Thou to the son of Vidathin, Rjisvan, gavest up mighty Mrgaya and Pipru. Thou smotest down the swarthy fifty thousand, and rentest forts as age consumes a garment."
  
  
• Indra - 5.29.10 - "One car-wheel of the Sun thou rolledst forward, and one thou settest free to move for Kutsa. Thou slewest noseless Dasyus with thy weapon, and in their home o'erthrewest hostile speakers." ("Noseless Dasyus" would suggest a reference to flat nosed Negroid types)
  
  
• Soma Pavamana - 9.41.1 - "ACTIVE and bright have they come forth, impetuous in speed like bulls, driving the black skin far away."
  
  
• Soma Pavamana - 9.73.5 - "O'er Sire and Mother they have roared in unison bright with the verse of praise, burning up riteless men, Blowing away with supernatural might from earth and from the heavens the swarthy skin which Indra hates."

RIG VEDA DESCRIBES ARYAN GODS AS BLONDS

• Indra - 10.23.4 - "With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wood."
  
  
• Indra - 10.96.8 - "At the swift draught the Soma-drinker waxed in might, the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair. He, Lord of Tawny Coursers, Lord of fleet-foot Mares, will bear his Bay Steeds safely over all distress."
  
  
• Indra - 1.9.3 - "O Lord of all men, fair of cheek, rejoice thee in the gladdening lauds, Present at these drink-offerings."

INDRA’S WEAPON: THOR’S LIGHTENING BOLT?

• In what could easily be another indicator of the common cultural origins between the Rig Veda and the Indo-European gods, Indra’s greatest weapon is said, in the Rig Veda, to be a lightening bolt – identical to the weapon of Thor, the Northern European God:
  
  
• Indra - 1.100.18 - "He, much invoked, hath slain Dasyus and Simyus, after his wont, and laid them low with arrows. The mighty Thunderer with his fair-complexioned friends won the land, the sunlight, and the waters."
  
  
• Indra - 1.101.1 - "SING, with oblation, praise to him who maketh glad, who with Rjisvan drove the dusky brood away. Fain for help, him the strong whose right hand wields the bolt, him girt by Maruts we invoke to be our Friend."
  
  
• Indra - 1.103.3 - "Armed with his bolt and trusting in his prowess he wandered shattering the forts of Dasas. Cast thy dart, knowing, Thunderer, at the Dasyu; increase the Arya's might and glory, Indra.
  
  
• Indra - 1.103.4 - "For him who thus hath taught these human races, Maghavan, bearing a fame-worthy title, Thunderer, drawing nigh to slay the Dasyus, hath given himself the name of Son for glory."

ARYAN ORIGIN OF CASTE SYSTEM

Above: From a Hindu temple in India:
In Hindu mythology, the White goddess
Durga slays the Negroid demon
Mahishasura. In Hindu mythology, most
of the gods have white skins and
European like features, while the demons
are distinctly Negroid.

At the time of the writing of the main religious books of the Aryans - the Rigvedas - a distinction was drawn between the two types of people in the Indus river valley: the "fair" conquering immigrants and the "dark" native people.

Within three hundred years however, physical mixing had proceeded to the point where these two racial classes had been subdivided further, with membership in each class being determined solely on the basis of how light or how dark an individual's skin color was.

These divisions led to a color based class system being developed, known today as the caste system. The word caste was only given to the system by Portuguese travelers many centuries later, coming from the Latin word castus, meaning pure. The original Sanskrit for the caste system was "varna", which means color.

As assimilation and integration between the Aryans and the Dasyu increased, the caste system became more and more complex, till four major divisions were created, with membership in each group dependent upon the coloring of the individual.

This four tier system still exists in India today, with the highest caste, the Brahmans (or "priests") being the lightest in color, and the Sudas or "untouchables" being the darkest.

Within a few hundred years the original Aryans had become so assimilated that their contribution to Indian civilization can be considered to be at an end. Their legacy lives on in the language, religion and poetry of India - and of course the caste system.


THE LAST OF THE ARYANS

The last of the Aryans can be found today in certain segments of Indian society, and most notably in that country's film industry, known as Bollywood. Below left, a picture of the famous Indian actress, Preity Zinta, who, although from modern India, clearly shows the eye color, features and skin color of the ancient Indo-Europeans. Her features contrast strongly with those of a more typical Indian, right.

Above left: The strong Aryan ancestry in a modern Indian (the actress Preity Zinta), even includes blue eyes. Blue or gray eyes are still to be found in the Indian upper classes, which tend to be concentrated in the northern parts of that country, where the original Aryan settlement took place. Compare Zinta's features with, right, a very mixed race Indian type, more typical in that country. The darker elements of Indian society are more numerous in the southern parts of India.

A few other Indian actresses and actors from modern "Bollywood" also serve to illustrate the Aryan heritage of a small segment of the modern Indian population (all pictures date from the year 2000):

Above left: The Indian actresses Pooja Bhatt, and right, Aishwarya Rai.
Above, left to right: The Indian actresses Mamta Kulkarani, and Rani Mukherjee.
Above left: the modern Indian actor Aamir Khanall, whose Aryan ancestry contrasts strongly with the more typical Indian male, right.

HOW FAR DID THE ARYANS GO INTO ASIA?

While it is still a matter of debate exactly how far the Indo-Europeans penetrated into Asia further than India itself, a good indication of just how far the White influence has been felt can be seen from the two images below, both from Thailand.

One the left, two typical Thai children, showing clearly the racial traits of many of the Thai people. On the right, a Thai banknote, showing the King of Thailand, who, although not pure White, shows clear White racial characteristics, and whose features are in strong contrast to many of his subjects. Both images date from the year 2000.
