Ancient Aryans in Europe

Most members of the White race are in some form or another traceable to the major wave of White peoples who entered Europe from approximately 5000 BC till around 500 BC (March 2003). In terms of White racial sub-groupings, these people were known as Nordic. Also referred to as Indo-Europeans, these individuals were originally found in the central and southern parts of Russia, near the Caucasus mountains. As such, Whites are still commonly referred to as Caucasians. Natural disaster in the form of flooding is thought to have prompted the first great waves of migration, and is responsible for Biblical legend of the flood. Leaving their Black Sea Basin heartland, the Nordic peoples invaded Europe and Asia. The three sons of Noah were Shem, Ham and Japheth. It is believed the Hamitic clans descended from Ham gave rise to the Aryans. Canaan was the exclusive homeland of the Hamitic clans, but the Ice Age forced the migration of the Aryans. According to Ninan (2003), Indo-Europeans entered Europe as "the first farmers of these wild areas. Each of these Hamitic clans became the progenitor of an Indo-European language and of the Aryan nations (Germans, Kelts, Slavs, and Balts)," (4).

Nordic Indo-Europeans migrated to a variety of areas. In Europe the Celts, Germans, Balts and Slavs settled, while in the south Indo-Europeans settled in Egypt, the Middle East, India (Indo-Aryans), Afghanistan (Aryans), China (Tocharians), and Japan (Ainu). For

g Nordic peoples often overpowered those they encountered. This was true not only because of their metal-working skills but also because of a superior language development. This enabled them to provide leadership for and change the thinking of those they encountered. As Scholz (1994) explains, the discovery of an Indo-European language group put the lie to Hebrew as the original language of all human beings. It also caused conflict with respect to Adam being the father of all human beings. The discovery of a vastly superior language development among Aryans also helped formulate concepts of White superiority. As Scholz (1994) maintains, "The Aryans seemed to be superior to other races as they had developed language to the allegedly highest evolutory level a long time before the others�Superior physiology, language and culture were allocated to the term �Aryans' and it was assumed that those belonged to the White race" (2). The Indo-European invasion of Europe occurred between 4000 BC up to 500 BC, consisting of the following groups: the Celts; the Germans; the Balts; and the Slavs (March 2003). The Celts were also known as Gauls and Britanni. Greece and Italy were invaded by Celtic tribes and in 390 BC the Celts destroye
