All throughout this site, we proclaim that the White man is NOT native to Europe. Though we do say that the White man is originally from Central Asia or Eurasia, we have not before, properly explained where the White man actually does come from. For the actual "Origins" of the White Race, please see the Indus Valley Pages: Click here >>>
The question is often asked; if the White man is NOT from Europe, then why does he say that he is? Though we cannot say for sure; the answer to that question is likely in two parts. First, the White man entered Europe (circa 1,200 B.C.) as illiterate Horse Nomads, they could not, and did not, begin to record their history until they had absorbed the knowledge of the conquered Blacks in Europe; who were the creators of the original European civilizations.
The earliest Black European writing, that we know about, is the Linear A script which first appeared in Crete (the Middle Minoan period (1700 - 1550 BC). After the Whites invaded (circa 1,200 B.C.), all writing STOPPED! This period is commonly called "The Greek Dark Ages" it was obviously a time of Great Wars and social upheaval; the biggest upheaval being the Exodus of the Sea people.

When writing reappeared, at about 750 B.C, Whites had adopted an alphabet that came from a Phoenician script. Phoinikeia was the name for the letters. The Greeks modified some of the letters for the vowels. There were many local alphabets but in 403 B.C. Athens adopted the Ionic or Milesian alphabet which eventually became common in all of Greece and is still used today.
The first actual White writings were by Aesculus 525-456 B.C. These were tragedies including the Orestia Trilogy.
* Agamemnon
* Choephoroe
* Eumenides
We think that he was a Hellene (White Greek) but that cannot be said for sure, because contrary to the story told by Whites; ancient Greece was a multi-racial and "mixed-race" society, note the bust of Sokrates and the greek youth below; ancient Rome was even more multi-racial, with several Emperors being "mixed-race".
Thus by the time that these first White invaders of Europe; the Hellenes (Greeks) and the Latin's (Romans), had learned to read and write, and were recording their own history, almost 500 years had passed. Anyone who has ever researched family genealogy will tell you that oral history, as passed down from generation to generation is very undependable. After only a generation or two, it becomes so corrupted with exaggeration and myth that it becomes useless.
This then is what the White Greeks were faced with, now that they could finally write, all memories of their former lives in Asia had been lost, and all memories of their early beginnings in Europe were in the form of oral history, passed down from generation to generation. And so, true to form, Whites went with the Lie. Thus Greeks recorded their previous history as a series of founding myths, with god-like ancestors as the founders of their line. Over time, they came to explain everything that they didn't know or understand with these myths. However, it should be noted that unlike the pathetic racists of today, the ancient Greeks were always careful to give proper respect and credit to Blacks, especially the Egyptians and Persians: they understood who and what they were, and how they got what they got. Illustrative of this, is the Myth of Danaus:

Illustrative of this, is the Myth of Danaus:
Danaus, or Danaos ("sleeper"): In Greek mythology he was the twin brother of Aegyptus and son of Achiroe and Belus, (mythical king and Queen of Egypt). The myth of Danaus is a foundation legend of Argos, one of the foremost Mycenaean cities of the Peloponnesus. (Mycenae had been earlier built at about 1,500 B.C, by Cretens and Egypt). Thus this myth serves as a good example of how the early Greeks used myth to explain their current circumstance. The MythThe Egyptian Prince Danaus had fifty daughters, the Danaides, twelve of whom were born to Polyxo and rest to Pieria and other women, and his twin brother, Aegyptus, had fifty sons. Aegyptus commanded that his sons marry the Danaides. But Danaus elected to flee Egypt instead, and to that purpose, he built a ship, the first ship that ever was. In it, he fled to Argos, to which he was connected by his descent from Io, the maiden wooed by Zeus and turned into a heifer and pursued by Hera until she found asylum in Egypt. Argos at the time was ruled by King Pelasgus, the eponym of all the Black inhabitants who had lived in Greece since the beginning of time, also called Gelanor (he who laughs). The Danaides asked Pelasgus for protection when they arrived, (the event is portrayed in The Suppliants by Aeschylus). Protection was granted after a vote by the Argives. ____________________________________________________________________________ The writer Pausanias was a native of Lydia in Anatolia. He was a traveller and geographer of the 2nd century A.D, who lived in the times of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. He is famous for his Description of Greece, a lengthy work that describes ancient Greece from firsthand observations, and is a crucial link between classical literature and modern archaeology. As a Greek writing under the auspices of the Roman empire, he found himself in an awkward cultural space, between the glories of the Greek past he was so keen to describe and the realities of a Greece beholden to Rome as a dominating imperial force. His work bears the marks of his attempt to navigate that space and establish an identity for Roman Greece. ____________________________________________________________________________ When Pausanias visited Argos in the 2nd century A.D, he related their version of the succession of Danaus to the throne thusly: "judged by the Argives (Argos citizens), who "from the earliest times... have loved freedom and self-government, and they limited to the utmost the authority of their kings:"
When Aegyptus and his fifty sons arrived to take the Danaides, Danaus gave them, to spare the Argives the pain of a battle. However, he instructed his daughters to kill their husbands on their wedding night. Forty-nine followed through: "they buried the heads of their bridegrooms in Lerna; but one, Hypermnestra (or Amymone, the "blameless" Danaid) refused because her husband, Lynceus, honored her wish to remain a virgin. Danaus was angry with his disobedient daughter and threw her to the Argive courts. Aphrodite intervened and saved her. Lynceus and Hypermnestra then began a dynasty of Argive kings (the Danaan Dynasty). The remaining forty-nine Danaides had their grooms chosen by a common mythic competition: a foot-race was held and the order in which the potential Argive grooms finished decided their brides (compare the myth of Atalanta). In some versions, Lynceus later killed Danaus as revenge for the death of his brothers. Also in some versions, the Danaides were punished in Tartarus (Tartarus is both a deity and a place in the underworld even lower than Hades), by being forced to carry water in a jug to fill a bath and thereby wash off their sins, but the jugs were actually sieves, so the water always leaked out (see below). Even a cautious reading of the subtext as a vehicle for legendary history suggests that a Pelasgian kingship in archaic Argos was overcome, not without violence, by seafarers out of Egypt (compare the Sea Peoples who "left" Europe), whose leaders then intermarried with the local dynasty. The descendants of Danaus' "blameless" daughter Hypermnestra, through Danaë, led to Perseus, founder of Mycenae, thus suggesting that Argos had a claim to be the "mother city" of Mycenae.
In Homer's Iliad, "Danaans" ("tribe of Danaus") and "Argives" commonly designate the Greek forces opposed to the Trojans. (Troy was the Greek name for the Hattie city of Wilusa, on the northern coast of Anatolia). You will note that the ancient White Greeks; attributed no part of the building of the Mycenaean civilization to themselves; but rather, truthfully and correctly to Egyptians and Pelasgusians, (Please try to find a White textbook that does the same). How different Whites are in modern times: Now they are so "full of themselves" that the lie comes easily and unabashedly. Note the depiction of the Tartarus version of the myth by John William Waterhouse (1903); in his painting "Danaides". To people like him, if they were Great, they MUST have been White! If not, he will MAKE them White.

In "Classical" Greek times, after the White Greeks had became competent, and were feeling "full of themselves" They always had the Egyptians to put them in their place.
| Illustrative of this, is an account from Herodotus (II, 143); of a visit by Hecataeus to an Egyptian temple at Thebes. It recounts how the priests showed Hecataeus a series of statues in the temple's inner sanctum, each one set up by the high priest of each generation: After mentioning that he (Hecataeus) traced his descent through sixteen generations - from a god. The Egyptians compared his genealogy to their own - as recorded by the statues. Since the generations of their high priests had numbered three hundred and forty-five, all entirely mortal, they refused to believe his claim of descent from a mythological figure. This encounter with the antiquity of Egypt, has been identified as a crucial influence on Hecataeus's skepticism: The mythologized past of the Hellenes shrank into insignificant fancy next to the history of a civilization so ancient. |
In modern times, the reason that Whites falsely claim that they originated in Europe is likely embarrassment. They did not discover definitive evidence of their Asian origins until the early 1900s. (Even though the Archeological finds of the previous century should have given them a clue: all the ancient skeletons found in Europe were of Black people - To date, absolutely NO ancient White skeletons have ever been found in Europe - (pre 1,200 B.C.). Whereas skeletons of ancient Africans - Not Neanderthals, Not Cro-Magnons - but "Modern Man" Africans (Homo-sapiens) are found all over the place in Europe, Some from as early as 45,000 B.C. Bog Mummies have also been found in Europe, the oldest being about 10,000 years old; But the oldest White Bog mummies are only from the iron age.
We say embarrassment, because for the previous several centuries, Whites had been building a tale of White superiority and Black inferiority; and had even created the institution of Racism. How then were they to admit that just the opposite was true. Not only were they a people of humble beginnings, but derived from "Defective" Humans (Albinos) too. And all that they had, and had achieved, was derived from that which they had taken from the Black man.
The definitive evidence that we speak of are the Dravidian Albinos and Tarim mummies discovered in the Tarim Basin in present-day Xinjiang, China.
The Mummies of Xinjiang
The Tarim mummies are a series of mummies discovered in the Tarim Basin in present-day Xinjiang, China, which date from 1800 B.C. to 200 A.D. Some of the mummies are frequently associated with the presence of the Indo-European Tocharian languages in the Tarim Basin although the evidence is not totally conclusive.
The Archeological record
At the beginning of the 20th century European explorers such as Sven Hedin, Albert von Le Coq and Sir Aurel Stein all recounted their discoveries of desiccated bodies in their search for antiquities in Central Asia. Since then, many other mummies have been found and analysed, most of them now displayed in the museums of Xinjiang. Most of these mummies were found on the eastern (around the area of Lopnur, Subeshi near Turpan, Kroran, Kumul) and southern (Khotan, Niya, Qiemo) edge of the Tarim Basin.
The earliest Tarim mummies, found at Qäwrighul and dated to 1800 B.C, are of a Caucasoid physical type whose closest affiliation is to the Bronze Age populations of southern Siberia, Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and the Lower Volga. The cemetery at Yanbulaq contained 29 mummies which date from 1100–500 B.C, of which 21 are Mongoloid — the earliest Mongoloid mummies found in the Tarim Basin — and 8 of which are of the same Caucasoid physical type found at Qäwrighul.
Notable mummies are the tall, red-haired "Chärchän man" or the "Ur-David" (1000 B.C.); his son, a small 1-year-old baby with blond hair protruding from under a red and blue felt cap, and blue stones in place of the eyes; the "Hami Mummy" (c. 1400–800 B.C.), a "red-headed beauty" found in Qizilchoqa; and the "Witches of Subeshi" (4th or 3rd century B.C.), who wore two foot long black felt conical hats with a flat brim. Also found at Subeshi was a man with traces of a surgical operation on his neck; the incision is sewn up with sutures made of horsehair.
Tarim mummies
Many of the mummies have been found in very good condition, owing to the dryness of the desert and the desiccation it produced in the corpses. The mummies share many typical Caucasoid body features (elongated bodies, angular faces, recessed eyes), and many of them have their hair physically intact, ranging in color from blond to red to deep brown, and generally long, curly and braided. It is not known whether their hair has been bleached by internment in salt. Their costumes, and especially textiles, may indicate a common origin with Indo-European neolithic clothing techniques or a common low-level textile technology. Chärchän man wore a red twill tunic and tartan leggings.
Genetic links
DNA sequence data's
A team of Chinese and American researchers working in Sweden tested DNA from 52 separate mummies, including the mummy denoted "Beauty of Loulan." By genetically mapping the mummies' origins, the researchers confirmed the theory that these mummies were of West Eurasian descent. Victor Mair, a University of Pennsylvania professor and project leader for the team that did the genetic mapping, commented that these studies were: extremely important because they link up eastern and western Eurasia (NOT Europe) at a formative stage of civilization (Bronze Age and early Iron Age) in a much closer way than has ever been done before. An earlier study by Jilin University had found an mtDNA haplotype characteristic of Western Eurasian populations with Europoid genes.
Note; still at this late date, we have White scientists trying to find a way to suggest that these people CAME from Europe, as opposed to their kind GOING to Europe. They have been unsuccessful in this, because it didn't happen, and the evidence that it DIDN'T happen is overwhelming! But since when has the truth ever stopped the White man from telling a good lie.
Mair states that "the earliest mummies in the Tarim Basin were exclusively Caucasoid, with east Asian (Chinese) migrants arriving in the eastern portions of the Tarim Basin around 3,000 years ago, while the Uyghur peoples arrived around the year 842. This evidence remains controversial. It refutes the contemporary nationalist claims of the present-day Uyghur peoples who claim that they are the indigenous people of Xinjiang, rather than the Han Chinese. In comparing the DNA of the mummies to that of modern day Uyghur peoples, Mair's team found some genetic similarities with the mummies, but "no direct links".
The new finds are also forcing a reexamination of old Chinese books that describe historical or legendary figures of great height, with deep-set blue or green eyes, long noses, full beards, and red or blond hair. Scholars have traditionally scoffed at these accounts, but it now seems that they may be accurate. Chinese scientists were initially hesitant to provide access to DNA samples because they were sensitive about the claims of the nationalist Uyghur who claim the Loulan Beauty as their symbol, and to prevent a pillaging of national monuments by foreigners.
Chinese historian Ji Xianlin says China "supported and admired" research by foreign experts into the mummies. However, within China a small group of ethnic separatists have styled themselves the descendants of these ancient people". Due to the "fear of fueling separatist currents" the Xinjiang museum, regardless of dating, displays all their mummies both Tarim and Han, together.
Comment:
The discovery of the mummies put the Chinese in a bind on all fronts; for years the Chinese had been teaching their people the they evolved from "Peking Man" (Homo erectus). They completely ignored their ancient writings attesting to the Black creators or their civilization, and the subsequent invasion and takeover by Whites in China. This position was maintained until a group of researchers from all over the world, did a genetic study of the Chinese, which proved that they were "Exclusively" of African origin. As with Whites, common sense would have told them the same story (how else to explain the great variety in skin color and phenotype found in the Chinese if not by the melding of Black and White?). Obviously, the Chinese didn't just take a lack of melanin from the White man, they also took his proclivity for lies and hubris.

class="style10">For those thinking that the Chinese received their color from Blacks in Southern Asia: that is NOT the case. The Black people in the south were conquered by the Chinese - thus their Mongol-like features. See the histories of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, at the bottom of our Home page menu.
The Altai region
Located in the heart of southwestern Siberia, the Altai region of Russia boasts incredible environmental riches—rolling foothills and grasslands, blue lakes and rivers, and dramatic alpine landscapes that are home to numerous threatened and endangered species. Local residents, especially the native peoples indigenous to the area, rely on Altai’s rich agricultural lands for survival—raising livestock, farming, growing homeopathic herbs, and gathering other non-agricultural forest products. Often called “the cradle of Mongolian and Turkic civilizations,” Altai is home to ancient rock art, or petroglyphs. These sites and artifacts are considered sacred to local indigenous peoples and have important historical and scientific value.

The Ukok Plateau
Ukok Plateau is a remote and pristine grasslands area located in the heart of southwestern Siberia, the Altai Mountains region of Russia near the borders with China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. The Pazyryk is the name of an ancient people who lived in the Altai Mountains on this plateau who are associated with some spectacular archeological findings, including mummies found frozen in the permafrost. Many ancient Bronze Age tomb mounds have been found in the area and have been associated with the Pazyryk culture which closely resembled that of the legendary Scythian people to the west. The term kurgan is in general usage to describe such log-barrow burials. Excavations of this site have continued to yield fascinating archaeological findings. One famous finding is known as the "Ice Princess" excavated by Russian archaeologist, Natalia Polosmak. Three tattooed mummies (c. 300 BC) were extracted from the permafrost of the Ukok Plateau in the second half of the 20th century
Early Nomads
This rich and fascinating collection from the Altai mountains dates to the Scythian-Sakae period (6th–4th centuries BC) and embraces over 5,000 items. At its heart lie the unique articles found during excavation of the burial mounds of Pazyryk in the Eastern part of the High Altai, at a height of 1,600 metres above sea level.
p>
Large Altaic burial mounds were intended for those who occupied high positions in early nomadic society, such as chiefs, elders and priests. According to custom, the chief's wife or concubines was also buried with him and all the dead bodies were embalmed. Deep graves were hollowed out for the burial, and many objects considered both precious and necessary were interred along with the bodies. Of great interest is the body of the chief from Burial Mound No. 2 at Pazyryk. His body was almost completely covered with tattoos, the main motifs being fabulous animals - for these people were hunters. Horses with lavish harness were also usual features in such tumuli.
The Pontic-Caspian steppe is the vast steppeland stretching from the north of the Black Sea (called Pontus Euxinus in antiquity) as far as the east of the Caspian Sea, from western Ukraine across the Southern Federal District and the Volga Federal District of Russia to western Kazakhstan, forming part of the larger Eurasian steppe, adjacent to the Kazakh steppe to the east. The area corresponds to Scythia and Sarmatia of Classical antiquity. Across several millennia the steppe was used by numerous tribes of nomadic horsemen, many of which went on to conquer lands in the settled regions of Europe and in western and southern Asia. It was finally brought under the control of a sedentary people by the Russian Empire in the 16th to 18th centuries.

The Kurgan
Kurgan is the Russian word (of Turkic origin) for a tumulus, a type of burial mound or barrow, heaped over a burial chamber, often made of wood. The distribution of such tumuli in Eastern Europe corresponds closely to the area of the Pit Grave or Kurgan culture in South-Eastern Europe.
Kurgans were built in the Eneolithic, Bronze, Iron, Antiquity and Middle Ages, with old traditions still existing in Southern Siberia and Central Asia. Kurgan Cultures are divided, archeologically, into different sub-cultures, such as Timber Grave, Pit Grave, Scythian, Sarmatian, Hunnish and Kuman-Kipchak. Burial mounds are complex structures with internal chambers. Within the burial chamber at the heart of the kurgan, elite individuals were buried with grave goods and sacrificial offerings, sometimes including horses and chariots. Kurgans were first used in the Russian Steppes, but spread into eastern, central, and northern Europe, beginning in the third millennium B.C.
img src="http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Whites/comb.jpg" width="401" height="370">
The monuments of these cultures coincide with Scythian-Saka-Siberian monuments. Scythian-Saka-Siberian monuments have common features, and sometimes common genetic roots. Also associated with these spectacular burial mounds are the Pazyryk, an ancient people who lived in the Altai Mountains, which lay in Siberian Russia, on the Ukok Plateau, near the borders with China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
Scythian-Saka-Siberian classification includes monuments from the 800 B.C. to 300 B.C. This period is called Early or Ancient Nomads epoch."Hunnic" monuments date from the 300 B.C. to 600 A.D, and other Turkic ones from the 6th century A.D, to the 13th century A.D, leading up to the Mongolian epoch. In all periods, the development of the kurgan structure tradition in the various ethnocultural zones can be distinguished by common components or typical features in the construction of the monuments.
The Kurgan hypothesis
The hypothesis was introduced by Marija Gimbutas in 1956, combining kurgan archaeology with linguistics to locate the origins of the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) speaking peoples (White People). The "Kurgan hypothesis" of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) origins assumes gradual expansion of the "Kurgan culture" until it encompasses the entire pontic steppe, Kurgan IV being identified with the Yamna culture of around 3000 BC. Subsequent expansion beyond the steppes leads to hybrid cultures, such as the globular amphora culture to the west, the immigration of proto-Greeks to the Balkans and the nomadic Indo-Iranian cultures to the east around 2500 B.C. The domestication of the horse, and later the use of early chariots is assumed to have increased the mobility of the Kurgan culture, facilitating the expansion over the entire Yamna region. In the Kurgan hypothesis, the entire pontic steppes are considered the PIE Urheimat, and a variety of late PIE dialects is assumed to have been spoken across the region. The area near the Volga is the location of the earliest known traces of horse-riding, and would correspond to an early PIE or pre-PIE nucleus of the 5th millennium B.C.
Gimbutas identifies four successive stages of the Kurgan culture and three successive "waves" of expansion.
1) Kurgan I, Dnieper/Volga region, earlier half of the 4th millennium B.C. Apparently evolving from cultures of the Volga basin, subgroups include the Sarama and Seroglasovka cultures.
2) Kurgan II–III, latter half of the 4th millennium B.C. Includes the Srednij-Stog cultures and the Maikop culture of the northern Caucasus. Stone circles, early two-wheeled chariots, anthropomorphic stone stelae of deities.
3) Kurgan IV or Yamna culture, first half of the 3rd millennium B.C, encompassing the entire steppe region from the Ural to Romania.
Wave 1, predating Kurgan I, expansion from the lower Volga to the Dnieper, leading to coexistence of Kurgan I and the Cucuteni culture. Repercussions of the migrations extend as far as the Balkans and along the Danube to the Vinca and Lengyel cultures in Hungary.
Wave 2, mid 4th millennium B.C, originating in the Maikop culture and resulting in advances of "kurganized" hybrid cultures into northern Europe around 3000 B.C. In the view of Gimbutas, this would correspond to the first intrusion of Indo-European languages into western and northern Europe.
Wave 3, 3000–2800 B.C, expansion of the Yamna culture beyond the steppes, with the appearance of the characteristic pit graves as far as the areas of modern Romania, Bulgaria and eastern Hungary.
Secondary Urheimat
The "kurganized" globular amphora culture in Europe is proposed as a "secondary Urheimat", separating into the bell beaker and corded ware cultures around 2300 B.C. and ultimately resulting in the European branches of Italic, Celtic and Germanic languages, and other, partly extinct, language groups of the Balkans and central Europe, possibly including the proto-Mycenaean invasion of Greece.
Gimbutas viewed the expansions of the Kurgan culture as a series of essentially hostile, military invasions where a new warrior culture imposed itself on the peaceful, matriarchal Black cultures of "Old Europe", replacing it with a patriarchal warrior society, a process visible in the appearance of fortified settlements and hillforts and the graves of warrior-chieftains:
The Process of Indo-Europeanization was a cultural, not a physical transformation. It must be understood as a military victory in terms of imposing a new administrative system, language and religion upon the indigenous groups.
This picture of a Black Mongol is for visual reference to Huns only. This Black Mongol is actually one of Kublai Khans chieftains from the painting by Chinese court artist Liu Guandao, c. 1280. See another picture of Kublai Khans Black troops on the right.
In the painting on the right, there are two Black soldiers and three Mongols soldiers. There is a similar ratio in other paintings. Whether this is the actual ratio of Black and Mongol troops in his army is unknown.
In her later life, Gimbutas increasingly emphasized the violent nature of this transition from the Mediterranean cult of the Mother Goddess to a patriarchal society and the worship of the warlike Thunderer (Zeus, Dyaus), to a point of essentially formulating feminist archaeology. Many scholars who accept the general scenario of Indo-European migrations proposed, maintain that the transition may well have been much more peaceful and gradual than suggested by Gimbutas. The migrations were certainly not a sudden, concerted military operation, but the expansion of disconnected tribes and cultures, spanning many generations.But to what degree the indigenous cultures were peacefully amalgamated or violently displaced remains a matter of controversy among supporters of the Kurgan hypothesis. Note; our analysis indicates that the invasion of Greece took place later than the time suggested by Gimbutas.
To summarize: Beginning in about 1,200 B.C. with the Hellenes and Latins, and ending with the Seljuq Turks at about 1200 A.D. Over the period of about 2,500 years; millions upon millions of White people, de-populated Asia and moved to Europe. So-far, no one has been able to answer the question; Why? To be clear; except for one small tribe in extreme western China, Asia is completely devoid of pure-blood White people. All of the countries between China and European Russia, are populated by Mongol or mixed-race people - with European Russia also having a sizable population of this type.
There is no record of any natural disaster in the area to explain this movement of people, therefore the impetus must have been man made. But it is not until the current era, that we can see one possible reason for this westward movement of White people - the Mongols!
In about 370 A.D, the Huns, an unmixed pureblood Black nomadic pastoral people from Eastern Asia, invaded Europe and created an enormous empire which reached as far west as Germany. later in the 13th. century, Genghis Khan and then Kublai Khan, swept westward, wreaking havoc and terror - no doubt the people in their path tried to stay in front of them.
