Well I guess I'm not surprised Marylou.  The thread has wandered 
around a bit since I began posting on it, but it began with ideas 
that don't fit well with assertions racial equality of talent the 
proponents of racial equality of law try to support.  First, they 
do not need to prove equality of talent; justice under the law is 
reasonable without it. 
 
Recent digs in southern Turkestan are the latest in a long line 
of findings to support an outstanding Aryan heritage which goes 
all the way back to the Cro-Magnon cave art in France that can 
be traced as it moves eastward to the edge of China over almost 
40,000 years. 
 
The mammoth hunters faced a unique problem; how do you transport 
such a large piece of meat from the kill site on the tundra to a 
long house you need to live in to survive the winter?  Somebody 
got the idea to use a horse to drag it.  Somebody else found out 
that if you eat the Amanita shrooms found in the horseshit things 
get very interesting. ;-} 
 
When the Mammoth died out, my ancestors switched to cattle, and 
in the process invented domesticated livestock- 10,000 BCE.  By 
8000 BCE, at Catal Huyuk in Turkey, they had begun raising wild 
wheat, which still grows on the mountains there- and invented 
agriculture.  By 6000 BCE they had spread out around the Black 
sea, filled the lower Danube basin with villages, and in the 
Transylvanian and Balkan mountains found deposits of copper and 
tin, and invented bronze. 
 
It looks to me like the smelting of metal also lead to the first 
use of fired pottery.  The demands of cattle herding brought on 
the riding of horses, and wagons, and... the first chariot wheel, 
which you cannot make without a metal rim and hub rings to keep a 
hub from splitting at high speed.  By 2000 BCE they were found in 
Turkestan, their natually dessicated mummies in the desert sands, 
with their red hair and beards still attached... and wearing bead 
work like you would expect on an indian, .. and wearing the first 
woven wool ever found. 
 
During that same period, the Aryan custom was what it has long 
been thought to be by other races- rape, pillage, and burn. In 
that order.  They went into Germany and Scandanavia, down into 
Greece as the Dorians, up into Siberia, northern Kamchatka, where 
there iconography has been found only 500 miles from the Bearing 
straights, now recently an Aryan skeleton gets found in Oregon,,, 
and down into Sumeria, and all the way to the Indus river where 
they founded Mohenjadaro and the Brahmin class and cosmology. 
 
So far as I can tell, it must have been much like Ghengis Khan's 
hordes of horsemen sweeping over the landscape, except that back 
then, only the Sumerians were literate enough to write about it, 
and they didn't survive long enough to write much.  And, after it 
all died down, it was again like the Khan's legacy, leaving heirs 
(of Aryan blood) in power all over a vastly dispersed empire. 
 
To give credit as due, it looks to me like the Chinese invented 
silk.  These Aryans invented the silk road, and a trail down to 
India.  Later on, in Turkestan, they took up Buddhism, and there 
you see the Buddhist saints and congregation depicted with halos 
and red beards on their faces in a style that looks Byzantine. It 
is kind of disconcerting to consider that the Buddha might well 
have been, as most Indian princes of his times were, an Aryan. 
 
So, is this an 'Eastern' religion? 
 
Now, I do not argue that these Aryans were *smarter*; but they 
were more challenged by a severe climate, and as Neitzsche says, 
that which does not kill me, makes me stronger.  I do argue that 
they had more *imagination*, and that that was in large part due 
to the use of psychedelic Amanita shrooms, which were still used 
by Aryan shamen in Siberia in the 20th century.  Further, that I 
have seen sacred altar ware of the 5th millennia BCE which shows 
the same shrooms, and petroglyphs all over hell and back which a 
mycologist would recognize as Amanitas. 
 
By the time of the Greeks, the Scythian nomadic empire ran around 
the Black Sea all the way to Turkestan and north into the tundra, 
as far as the grass would grow for the livestock.  Russians have 
found some graves in the permafrost, a Scythian princess being of 
note in that she looks like Pocahontas in beadwork and braids but 
also has a little leather handbag, in which they find cannibis. I 
don't know of any pipes, so I aint sure what she did with it. 
 
We are used to thinking of non-literate cultures as retarded, and 
Xerxes no doubt had the same attitude when he went up there with 
600,000 men, and got his ass kicked, and his attitude adjusted. 
 
Their cosmology was rather different; Chaos was first. eventually 
chance evolved into God and the Universe, the latter giving birth 
to the body, and She giving birth to the soul.  Unlike the Judaic 
patriarchic, autocratic God with a host of sychophants, they knew 
an Earth Mother who only wanted her children to grow to fulfill 
their own destiny, not some part of a plot by Her to try the soul 
for possible damnation.
