Tip: Now, some people talk about the Aryans as soon as they do something, as if the Aryans still exist in this world, and they are the descendants of the Aryans. This is a very ridiculous act, but the Aryans, like the Huns and Turks in China, are a vanished people, which has become a legend for today. In this article, we will start with the problem of the Aryans, whether they have ever been to China, and the blind recognition of Aryans by some people in modern history, in order to raise the re-awareness of this disappeared nation or race by some people.
Who are the Aryans?
Doing something requires knowing its essence. Who are the Aryans? Scholars generally define them as arya, an ancient nomadic people from the steppes of the southern Ural Mountains in Russia, who migrated to the plains between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Central Asia. These people were known as the Aryan-Punjabis, and around the 14th century BC, the Aryan-Punjabis moved south into the northwestern part of the South Asian subcontinent, which is the Aryans mentioned in ancient Indian texts, who expelled the Gudharivids to the south, created the Vedic culture and established the caste system, and brought the Aryan-Punjabi language to India. Eventually the Ancient Aryans and the Gudharopishs fused into today's distinctive South Asian subcontinents.
The history of India is written by legend, but people still have to believe this legend, why? On the one hand, this is a matter of world history, and we cannot just look at the history of India; on the other hand, legend can indeed regard it as history at some point, because ancient human beings can only pass on history by legend.
Because it is the world, the scope is larger; and because it is a legend, there is more room for operability, so there are many, many theories in it, the most mainstream of which is that there are records of Aryan invasions in Indian history. The four castes of India are set according to the shade of skin, of which the Brahmin and Kshatriya races are derived from the conquerors: the shallow Aryans. The famous Medes and Persians in Persian history were all descendants of aryans. The Ceciens, Salmahiam, Masakota, and Arantiahs mentioned by greek and Persian historians were also of Aryan descent.
Let us first note and explain, "the historians of ancient Greece and ancient Persia mentioned", in fact, now look at it, that is, the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote the "History", Herodotus was born and died about 480 BC - about 425 BC, he was in some ways close to a field researcher, although there are some errors in the work, but what he said can still be believed, why? Because he's been there. As for some other things, they can basically be turned off in this sentence, because they are either too late or they are all sorting out legends, which are different from the Indians we said earlier that they wrote history by legend, and in the face of field investigations, they seem vulnerable and lack rational judgment and thinking about legends. Modern science can also overturn them in this regard.
Well, let's do this first in our notes and explanations, and then look at some hilarious things, which are somewhat repetitive with what we are going to say in the third question, but there is nothing wrong with saying it in advance, so that we can move forward with the text further: historically, the Aryans destroyed three of the four great ancient civilizations: ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient Egypt. It is precisely because the Aryans have a glorious history that many later countries and peoples claim that the Aryans are their ancestors. The Persians claimed to be the inheritors of ancient Aryan culture. The Tajiks claim the same. The Persians were most afraid of others seeing them as Arabs. In fact, the ancient Persians did not believe in Islam.
Here we are not talking about the recognition of ancestors, but mainly to say that the Aryans really existed in this world, but they have mixed and hybridized when they destroyed ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient Egypt. As for the Persian claim to be the inheritors of the ancient Aryan culture, there is one main reason, that is, the Kingdom of the Medes, also known as the Kingdom of Medea, the Kingdom of Medea is an ancient Iranian kingdom, the largest territory when the territory of the west from Asia Minor east, east of the Persian Gulf. They belong to the Indo-European language family and were the first people to settle in the Iranian plateau region. The Assyrian Empire invaded the Iranian plateau in an attempt to conquer it. The Invasion of Assyria led to the unity of the Medes tribes, which led to the formation of the Medes.
It is also worth mentioning the Assyrians, a semitic group of people who lived mainly in the northern part of the two river basins of West Asia (present-day Mosul region of Iraq), or rather, semitic people who had merged with non-Semites. The Assyrians have a long history of nearly 4,000 years in Western Asia. They should have nothing to do with the Aryans.
The Medes (678 BC – 550 BC) was a kingdom centered on the ancient Persian region, and in the second millennium BC, a branch of the Indo-European Aryans of Central Asia migrated south to the Iranian plateau, and gradually integrated and assimilated with the indigenous population, forming the main body of Iranians. At the beginning of the 6th century BC, the Medes conquered the Persian tribes in southwestern Iran and destroyed the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which at its largest territory included all of present-day Iran and western Turkey.
The Medes, who belong to the Indo-European language family, are Aryans, and were among the first peoples to settle in the Iranian plateau region. The Assyrian Empire invaded the Iranian plateau in an attempt to conquer it. However, the invasion of Assyria prompted the Median tribes to unite, thus forming the Median state.
See that, right? This is why the Persians claim to be the inheritors of ancient Aryan culture, but from an ethnographic point of view, this is no longer pure, and it can only inherit culture, and today, this inheritance no longer exists.
This is a microcosm of the Aryans in the long river of history, and we can probably see what they are like, and then we say how the Aryans went to India, and at the same time prove that they have not come to China.
Have the Aryans ever been to China?
Allow us to analyze this passage from the previous article: the Aryans were originally an ancient nomadic people in the steppes of the southern Ural Mountains in Russia, migrating to the plains between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Central Asia. This has been made clear, they were from the southern steppes of the Ural Mountains, about today's Ukraine and Belarus, to the east to the plains of Central Asia between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers, that is, today's Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan.
At this time, they began to really go south, to today's Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, and India.
As we said earlier in the direction of Iran, they established the Medes, which later evolved into the Persian Empire, and in 538 BC, ended the ancient Babylonian civilization through war. It was also this empire that destroyed the Egyptian civilization because of its weakening. The time to go to India was about 500 years BC, the Aryan cavalry roared south, the countries on the Indian subcontinent were scattered, brown-and-black skinned they were defeated by the white-skinned Aryans, and once interrupted Indian civilization, establishing a "Vedic" civilization with Aryan characteristics.
At this time, we can say That China has not been to China, and whether the Aryans have ever come to China. Domestically, there is a loud voice: the Aryans crossed the Pamir Plateau and drove straight into the area close to the Central Plains, and they wanted to destroy the other three civilizations to deal with Chinese civilization, but this was during the time of the Chinese Yin Shang Wuding, which was about the 12th century BC. At that time, China's national strength was strong, and the invasion of this Aryan army was detected by the merchants, and the later Shang queen Consort Hao directly led tens of thousands of Chinese warriors to meet these uninvited guests. Later oracle bones record that The woman led the army to the west and beheaded more than 20,000 people. The warriors returned victoriously, and the Aryans never marched east from now on.
The reason why it is said to be vibrant is because there are two reasons for this: first, the woman did fight with white people, and there were indeed white people in her martyrdom, but to be clear, not only are Aryans in this world white, or not all white people are Aryans; the oracle bone account may be correct, but it does not tell people where the woman is fighting, and she fought with the kind of white man, so the Aryans can only be an imaginary, or imaginary enemy, which is thought out by some people.
This raises the question: Who are the white men who fight with women? Our opinion is that of the Scythians. Today, it is believed that the Scythians lived mainly in the steppes of Eastern Europe, between the Don and Danube rivers, north of the Black Sea, and previously lived in the steppes east of the Black Sea-Caspian Sea and the Volga River Basin, and later migrated continuously, from Europe all the way to Inner Mongolia and the Ordos Desert, and were the earliest nomadic people in history. Some argue that the Scythians and the Aryans are homologous, but we do not think so, mainly based on the following three aspects:
1. Traditional cognition. The Aryans are said to be tall, blonde and blue-eyed, considered their characteristic. But the Scythians were short, blue-eyed, nose-and-whiskered, and their hair wasn't necessarily blond. If there is something in common, it may be that their eyes are both blue, but they can't say anything in terms of stature.
2. Cultural cognition. The culture of the Aryans has little to do with China, but the Scythians have left a lot of shadows in Chinese culture, from the tomb owners of the ancient tombs in Yanghai, Xinjiang, to the rulers of the city-states of Khotan, Shache, and Dawan in the western region, and even the steppe style bronze casters of the ancient Yunnan Kingdom, the Scythian cultural group in a broad sense can be seen.
3. Geographical cognition. From this part of Central Asia to today's China, there is a barrier between the Hindu Kush Mountains, the Pamir Plateau and the Tianshan Mountains, which is a very difficult road to take, and in the history of China since the written record, except for Chinese to cross here to control Central Asia, purely other people have crossed here to control China. The Aryans should have very limited abilities in such a harsh geographical environment. As for the Scythians, they probably entered China from the northern Xinjiang region between the Altay mountains and the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and then they developed westward from present-day southern Xinjiang and Central Asia and east to the south to the Mongolian plateau and the Hetao and Hexi regions.
In addition, in these 3 points of cognition, we have found a very interesting phenomenon, the Scythians in foreign historical books are not the same as the concept in Chinese historical books. In the ancient Chinese historical records, the Scythians (Cypriots) were given such a geographical scope and overview, that is, the general term for the nomadic peoples who lived in the Ili River Valley, along the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, and the vast areas of Central Asia in ancient times. They included 4 such tribes: the Rong of the Yun surname, the Yu clan (禺知, 月氏), the Bactrian clan, and the Shache clan. They all appear in the pre-Qin texts and clearly belong to the system of the ancient Chinese Western Queen Mothers. But in the Western historical records, the Scythians include not only the Cypriots in the Chinese historical books, but also the Sarmats, Alans, Massagites, etc., and even call the Persians and Indians "Seka", and the Greeks cessians or Scythians, all of which have a little Scythian or Cypriot meaning.
However, this point does not matter, it does not matter who they are, what is important is what culture these people have, we see that the so-called Scythians (Cypriots) in the opening of the steppe Silk Road at the same time, indeed like the 4 tribes in the ancient Chinese books, retained the traces of Chinese civilization, and in the later history of China, the area they lived in was indeed included in the territory of Chinese civilization.
At this time, the Aryans were as distant as a dream to Chinese. Therefore, we have our point of view: as Aryans outside of China, they have never been to China at all, and like the Huns and Turks in China, they are a disappeared people, which is a legend for today.
Third, those who recognize the Aryans as ancestors are absurd
Before saying the absurdity of the ancestors, let's talk about the current change in the name of the Aryans in the country, that is, in the past, some people in the archaeological process, once they find the Caucasians, they say that they are Aryans, it seems to have forgotten or did not know that the Aryans conquered India, and then called themselves in order to show their nobility, in the process, they called the conquered Indian natives contemptuous cars, which means "inferior". Later, I felt that the title of Aryan was not quite right, so I changed it to Indo-European.
This change is scientific and progressive, but there is still a problem, that is, from the existing archaeological data, China has had white people since ancient times, and Chinese have only been called yellow people since the 18th century. The white people found in Chinese archaeology are distinctly different from the Indo-Europeans, or at least the current Indo-Europeans. We will leave it in a future article to say, we just want to emphasize that those who do not necessarily have a white complexion can be called white, and there is a big difference between white people and white people. As some netizens said, those Indian Aryans, German Aryans, and Iranian Aryans who claim to be descendants of Aryans do not look like "relatives" or come out of an ethnic group. This is also true of the fact that white people in ancient China were different from Indo-Europeans.
The absurdity of the identification of Aryans was mainly during World War II, when some people thought that in the Atlantic Ocean, there was an amazing continent, Atlantis, where people had magical abilities. After a major earthquake the continent sank to the bottom of the sea, some Atlanteans fled by boat and finally settled in Tibet, China, and India, and their descendants became the ancestors of Aryans and Indians, respectively.
But this hypothetical claim was later disproved by the Americans' map of human genes, which accounted for only 19.5 percent of Aryan genes in those who thought they were of Aryan descent. And in Russians, Aryan genes account for 47%. The highest Aryan composition is in Poland, where it exceeds 50%. The Atlanteans ended up settling in China, Tibet and India as a joke.
It's a joke, but it's not necessarily non-existent, and under the influence of the "Atlanteans", there are still some people who know nothing about history who claim to be descendants of the Aryans, but unfortunately, they have no way to find their ancestors, so they can only keep a dream in the same place. In this regard, we have to say that even if you can prove that you are Aryan, where do you go to settle down? Today's Aryans are already a historical term, and there is no benefit or nobility to speak of. (Wen | Lusheng)
