| Aryan and Turanian Diffussion Video Series | |
| By: guest5 Date: February 21, 2021, 4:19 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| I will upload the image assets for the Aryan and Turanian | |
| diffusion video series I'm working on here. Aryanists have | |
| permission to use them for their projects and I also welcome any | |
| constructive criticism. I would also appreciate any music | |
| suggestions Aryanists would wish to hear in that series? | |

| I would be careful with the color scheme. Anatolia was | |
| agricultural at a very early date: | |

| There is also the BMAC culture, who were agricultural. | |
| Unfortunately, given their proximity to the northern Turanian | |
| cultures, they were probably one of the first in the region to | |
| be besieged by Turanian culture and genetic admixture. | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Indo-Iranian_origins.png | |
| [quote]He explains this by proposing that Indo-Aryan speakers | |
| probably formed the vanguard of the movement into south-central | |
| Asia and many of the BMAC loanwords which entered Iranian may | |
| have been mediated through Indo-Aryan.[31]:306 Michael Witzel | |
| points out that the borrowed vocabulary includes words from | |
| agriculture, village and town life, flora and fauna, ritual and | |
| religion, so providing evidence for the acculturation of | |
| Indo-Iranian speakers into the world of urban | |
| civilisation.[30][/quote] | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactria%E2%80%93Margiana_Archaeological_Complex#P… | |
| [quote]A follow-up study by Narasimhan and co-authors (2019) | |
| suggested the primary BMAC population largely derived from | |
| preceding local Copper Age peoples who were in turn related to | |
| prehistoric farmers from the Iranian plateau and to a lesser | |
| extent early Anatolian farmers and hunter-gatherers from Western | |
| Siberia, and they did not contribute substantially to later | |
| populations further south in the Indus Valley. They found no | |
| evidence that the samples extracted from the BMAC sites derived | |
| any part of their ancestry from Yamnaya culture people, who are | |
| seen as Proto-Indo-Europeans in the Kurgan hypothesis, the most | |
| influential theory on the Proto-Indo-European | |
| homeland.[32][/quote] | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactria%E2%80%93Margiana_Archaeological_Complex#G… | |
| (In other words, the Turanian 'Indo-Iranian' speakers borrowed | |
| words for agriculture and sedentary civilization from the BMAC | |
| people.) | |
| And, of course, there is the Indus Valley civilization which was | |
| destroyed by the Turanian Vedic invaders. | |

| Central Arabia is colored green while it consisted of pastoral | |

| One more consideration--while I don't know the extent of what | |

| these words we use to describe races, we must not forget the | |
| Aryan vs Turanian struggle is much wider than just this | |

| Yes, the Fertile Crescent is arable, but the core of the Arabian | |
| peninsula (the bottom left corner on your map, in green), is | |
| arid desert: | |

| I haven't had a chance to watch that video yet, but I think the | |
| culture in the link you post is probably the first known culture | |
| to practice agriculture at an early civilization level. But I | |
| wonder if the best approach isn't to necessarily focus on a | |
| single "first" place of agricultural origin. | |
| People in the Western world are likely aware of the Fertile | |
| Crescent as a "cradle of civilization" which eventually ended up | |
| diffusing west-ward. But have they ever heard of the Kuk swamp | |
| culture which had agriculture around 8,000 BC--during the same | |
| time as the Fertile Crescent? | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuk_Swamp | |
| Or the east-ward diffusion of agriculture into the Indosphere | |
| before the Cardium culture and Linear Pottery culture made it | |
| into "Europe"? | |
| 7,000s BC: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehrgarh | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhirrana | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Early_Neolithic_sites_in_the_Near_East_and_S… | |
| vs 6,000s BC: | |
| https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Expansion_n%C3%A9olithique.png | |
| Looking more broadly at the archaeological evidence of plant | |
| domestication, it seems all throughout the world there is | |
| evidence of domestication from around 10,000-8,000 BC--in all | |
| geographic regions. (Due to the end of the ice age and new | |
| environmental conditions making things favorable for | |
| agriculture). Evidence has not necessarily been found of | |
| wide-scale agricultural civilizations in all areas. This could | |
| mean either such evidence has simply not yet been found (due to | |
| the fact that for hundreds of years archaeologists have focused | |
| almost exclusively on 'Europe' and the Fertile Crescent, rather | |
| than elsewhere), or that various small groups of | |
| hunter-gatherers around the world heroically rejected hunting | |
| and began farming, but their cultivation efforts did not reach | |
| critical mass to reach a 'civilization' level until later. | |
| Going civilization-by-civilization on a timeline misses this | |
| sort of big picture of global transition to agriculture (i.e. | |
| global Aryanization process happening concurrently, but with | |
| different levels of success/speed in different regions, likely | |
| due to various geographic/environmental and demographic | |
| reasons). | |
| These are the things that it is most important to stress and | |
| teach to people--facts and cultures they have never even heard | |
| of before, in order to challenge the Western Eurocentric | |
| education that "their culture" was the first, best, and only one | |
| to have deeply ancient predecessors. | |
| By taking a broader approach examining all early origins of | |
| agriculture at once, we can stress the similarity of all | |
| agricultural societies worldwide (regardless of ethnicity), | |
| while stressing how all these societies faced a parallel | |
| struggle against hunters who refused to embrace agriculture and | |
| herders (who became technologically more advanced than the | |
| hunters, but adopted a way of life alien to sedentary and | |
| plant-based agriculturalists). | |
| This presents a completely unique narrative of history and | |
| unique way of framing civilization. | |
| Due to different climatic and geographic factors, some | |
| civilizations and domestication events came earlier or later | |
| than others (not all areas had the same level of arability in | |
| the soil or levels of rainfall; some likely faced stronger | |
| pressures from hunter-gatherers or early herders who destroyed | |
| their efforts to establish agriculture; some areas did not have | |
| as many edible plants to domesticate; and different crops | |
| offered different levels of nutrition, perhaps making it more | |
| difficult to make the full leap to an entirely | |
| agricultural-based lifestyle, etc.). But in all regions of the | |
| globe, we've all had the thematically-identical story of 10,000 | |
| years of struggle against hunters and herders. | |
| It would of course be fine to explain the etymology of Aryan vs | |
| Turanian before zooming back out to the big picture. But these | |
| are just my opinions for how such a series would be most useful. | |

| I came across this article--apparently one of the reasons why | |
| West African/Sahel plant domestication has traditionally been | |
| overlooked (besides Eurocentrism) is because it did not fit in | |
| with the traditional "center of origin" model developed by | |
| Westerners. This construct basically considered the Fertile | |
| Crescent to be its perfect example, but in reality the | |
| archaeological evidence shows the Fertile Crescent doesn't fit | |
| the traditional model either. | |
| I don't think "center of origin" is necessarily a bad concept, | |
| but obviously we should keep in mind the Fertile | |
| Crescent-centric connotations this term has traditionally had, | |
| and do our best to promote a broader and more-encompassing | |
| meaning. | |
| http://archaeobotanist.blogspot.com/2011/12/de-centering-fertile-crescent.html | |
| Also, regarding Turanian diffusion, a major theme should focus | |
| around how Proto-Indo-European language diffusion is the classic | |
| example of Turanian diffusion. For far too long people have been | |
| associating Indo-European/"Indo-Aryan" languages with the Aryan | |
| race. | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurgan_hypothesis | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamnaya_culture | |
| I remember some bloggers calling the Sintashta culture and | |
| Andronovo culture (Turanians) the "original Aryans", because | |
| they were likely the direct predecessors or participants in the | |
| Vedic Invasion of the Indus Valley Civilization (actual Aryans). | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintashta_culture | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andronovo_culture | |
| The existence and migration of the swastika at a much earlier | |
| date than the Vedic and Yamnaya invasions should be enough to | |
| debunk the association of the | |
| Vedic/Yamnaya/Sintashta/Andronovo/Indo-European-speaker | |
| diffusion with the "Aryans". But, of course, stressing Turanian | |
| diffusion over and over again visually on a map is powerful as | |
| well: | |

| No Dugin, Turanians did not Invent the Wheel! | |
| By: guest78 Date: December 4, 2022, 4:43 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| [quote]By what means were they able to extend their influence to | |
| practically the whole of Eurasia? The wheel. We can see how this | |
| process of the Indo-Europeans� expansion continued into the | |
| colonial period. Even today�s cars are part of the Turanian | |
| worldview, the new chariots. This is the line of the expansion | |
| of chariots, the expansion of martial style, the Indo-European | |
| languages, and the Indo-European political system � which is | |
| patriarchal, masculine, and androcratic.[/quote] | |
| http://www.4pt.su/en/content/turan-key-understanding-russian-logos | |
| Aryans invented the wheel: | |
| [quote]The wheel is believed to date to the Neolithic period | |
| (about 12,000 years ago) appearing at different stages in | |
| different civilizations. The earliest use was probably for | |
| turning pottery; Mesopotamian diagrams show that use as early as | |
| 3500 B.C.[/quote] | |
| Turanians stole the idea and made it more complex in order to | |
| give them an unfair advantage in war: | |
| [quote]A wheel with spokes first appeared on Sumarian chariots | |
| around 2000 B.C., and wheels seem to have developed in Europe by | |
| 1400 B.C. After about 400 B.C. Nubians used wheels to turn | |
| pottery and as water wheels. The earliest record of a | |
| wheelbarrow comes from China in the Three Kingdoms period (A.D. | |
| 184-280).[/quote] | |
