The Armenians are a nation and an ethnic group originating from the Caucasus and eastern Anatolia, where a large concentration of this community has remained, especially in Armenia.
Armenian Highland – the geographical term which more completely describes where Armenians come from, where the culture originated and everything else about Armenia and Armenians.
Eastern Anatolia (which means Eastern East and is absurd), South Caucasus, Transcaucasia are all short-period, politically motivated terms which lamely, if anyhow describe Armenia, its states and kingdoms, its culture and the historical path it has gone through.
Armenoid anthropological type the term “Armenoid” or “Armenoid type”, was introduced in anthropology at the end of the last century.
Initially, this type called “Assyroid”, because it was considered that it is best represented on Assyrian reliefs. Later it was noticed that Assyrian sculpture is only part of a much broader phenomenon in ancient art.
It turned out that many images of people in ancient civilizations have similar faces and,even more strikingly similar outlines of the skull. Since this type of face and skull is often found among the Armenians, it was suggested to name the corresponding physical type “Armenoid”.
Their usual genom is mostly divergent from other Asians, and more comparable with some southern Europeans, chiefly with southern Italians, Andalusians, and Rumanians. Armenians are by their genom closer to other Europeans than Greeks, Estonians, and Lithuanians.
The low level of genetic distances between subpopulations indicates a high level of population homogeneity, and the genetic distances between Armenians and other populations show Armenians as a distinct ethnic group relative to others, reflecting the fact that Armenians have been an ‘isolated population’ throughout centuries.
This race was immensely prolific and successful, being extended all over Europe, North Africa and from the Near East to India and beyond. The purest cores correspond to the greater Armenian sphere, the Caucasus, Syria, the Balkans and Italy.
There is the similar level of Armenization in North Africa and Southern Europe. It must be clarified that in North Africa, Armenid blood is heavily mixed with Congid traits, while in Europe, it’s mainly mixed with Nordid ones.
The Armenid influence in China may also be noted. Although in this country (depending on regions and ethnic groups) Armenid features might not be so apparent (mongolization “blurrs” Armenid features a lot since they are very “opposite” races) the fact remains that the paternal O haplogroup (an Armenid lineage) is predominant. So we have a region where the paternal direct lines are Armenid, but the indirect or autosomal contributions are full of Mongolid, Red Nordid and other influences.
The Armenid race had an overwhelming success, which is manifested in the dispersion of its lineages in uncountable branches, and in the diffusion of its physical-anthropological traits in all continents. Its diversification was such that we doubt if it could have produced other non identified races (especially in the LT and MS branches).
Armenids correspond to the great social mass of the first civilizations in the Near East. They would also correspond to the so-called “Neolithic Europeans” (the popular “gracile and dolichocephalic Mediterraneans”), related with Near Eastern cultures that started to enter Europe circa 7-8,000 years ago (e. g. Cardial Ware).
In North Africa, Armenids produced the “Moorish” type by interbreeding with Red Nordids and especially Congids, while the further we move eastward, the less Congid influence is found and the more other races (Mongolid, Australid) are present.
Nowadays there is Armenid blood in almost all Eurasia, North, East and even Central Africa, and also in pre-Columbian America (noses that are not Mongolid at all can be observed in many Native Americans or in certain Aztec reliefs).
• Present context: Being an older race than any of the Nordid ones, it is extremely difficult to find pure Armenids, as they have had more time to crossbreed, and might have been less racist by nature.
It seems that haplogroup G spread the Neolithic to Europe, while haplogroup J spread on the islands in the Mediterrean and towards India. It seems that haplogroup R1b spread over the Caucasus, where they mixed with haplogroup R1a. Both haplogroup R1b and R1a seems to be linked with the Indo-European languages.
Which languages and haplogroups should have been spread towards the Balkan (Old Europe), and which languages and haplogroups should have been spread towards India? Are the Indo-European languages also spread with haplogroup G and J2? Who then attacked the BMAC culture and the Old Europe?
Haplogroup G seems to be spread from Syria and be connected with the Cardium Pottery culture and the LBK culture, but they seem more linked with Georgian. Analysis of ancient Y DNA from the remains of populations derived from early Neolithic settlements such as the Mediterranean Cardium and Central and North European LBK settlements have found an absence of males belonging to haplogroup R1b.
The languages that G spread the Neolithic to Europe could have been Italo-Celtic, but they got spread with haplogroup G, how can they then also be spread by haplogroup R1b? It seems that these languages is connected with haplogroup R1b. and in India it seems that Indo-Aryan is connected with haplogroup R1a, and not haplogroup J2.
A 2010 study of ancient DNA suggested the LBK population had affinities to modern-day populations from the Near East and Anatolia. The study also found some unique features, such as the prevailance of the now-rare Y-haplogroup F* and mitochondrial haplogroup frequencies.
It seems that the Harappa civilization is connected with the Dravidian languages, and that the Indo-European languages first come to India at the same time the Mitanni Indo-Aryan languages came to Mitanni. Was the language on the islands of the Mediterrean connected with Indo-European languages. It seems that they are connected with haplogroup J2.
If Hurrian-Urartian is the root of the Armenian language at least we have a culture in south West Asia that seems to be the root of the culture happenings in this part of the region. But it seems that also the Nakh-Dagestani language is connected with these languages. They both seem to be connected with haplogroup J2, and with the Kura Araxes culture (Shengavit culture).
It seems that the Dagestani part of the Nakh (connected with haplogroup J2) Dagestani languages is connected with haplogroup J1. The Semites seems to be connected with haplogroup J1, and the PPNB cultures. It seems that haplogroup J1 is connected to the Zarzan culture in the Zagros and with the Van culture in the Caucasus.
While haplogroup J2 people was agriculturalists is the haplogroup J2 people nomadic pastoralists. It seems that the North East Caucasian languages developed agriculture, and that haplogroup J1 developed nomadic pastoralism. It seems that haplogroup R1b is a Bronze Age culture connected with the Kura Araxes culture and the Indo European languages.
If it is so that haplogroup R1b also migrated through Balkan, then they might have taken part in the creation of Old Europa (the Italo-Celtic branch), through Caucasus (the Balto-Slavic branch) and towards India (the Indo-Aryan branch).
It can be that Aleppo (Arev) is at our center, at least one of them, as Hurrians (Aryans – Armenians), which also gave birth to the Northern Caucasians, Sumerians, Dravidians etc . They mixed with different kind of people, and different kind of haplogroups. There is no doubt that we are dealing with phenomenon called “cultural diffusion” and variational conjugations and in this peculiar case also the ancient Indo-European attribution.
According to a number of scholars, Ar, was a shorter version of Ara or Arar(ich), Creator. The worship of Ar was wide spread amongst early Armenians who worshipped this deity and simply called him the Creator (Ara or Ararich).
The word “Hurrian” HUR comes from Armenian “fire”, Mitann Kingdom is considered to be an Armenian Kingdom. AR, HAR, ER, HER, YER, HOR, KHAR, KHOR, UR, HUR, KHUR have the same meaning. And you have to know that the vocal can change, just the consonant keeps on. Ar, Ur, Er, Ir etc – and that word are made by one consonant and one or two vocals, which can change their place on either side of the consonant.
The literal meaning of the word Ahura means light and Mazda means wisdom. Thus Ahura Mazda is the lord of light and wisdom. Ahura Mazda is the creator and upholder of Arta (truth). Ahura Mazda is the omniscient and omnipotent god, who created the universe. Avestan ahura derives from Indo-Iranian *asura, also attested in an Indian context as Rig Vedic asura. As suggested by the similarity to the Old Norse æsir, Indo-Iranian *asura may have an even earlier Indo-European root.
In Hinduism, the asuras are non-suras, a different group of power-seeking deities besides the suras, sometimes considered naturalists, or nature-beings, in constant battle with the devas.
Asha (aša) is the Avestan language term (corresponding to Vedic language ṛta) for a concept of cardinal importance to Zoroastrian theology and doctrine. In the moral sphere, aša/arta represents what has been called “the decisive confessional concept of Zoroastrianism.” The opposite of Avestan aša is druj, “lie.”
The significance of the term is complex, with a highly nuanced range of meaning. It is commonly summarized in accord with its contextual implications of ‘truth’ and ‘right (eousness)’, ‘order’ and ‘right working’. For other connotations, see meaning below. Its Old Persian equivalent is arta-. In Middle Iranian languages the term appears as ard-.
The word is also the proper name of the divinity Asha, the Amesha Spenta that is the hypostasis or “genius” of “Truth” or “Righteousness”. In the Younger Avesta, this figure is more commonly referred to as Asha Vahishta (Aša Vahišta, Arta Vahišta), “Best Truth”.
The Middle Persian descendant is Ashawahist or Ardwahisht; New Persian Ardibehesht or Ordibehesht. In the Gathas, the oldest texts of Zoroastrianism and thought to have been composed by the prophet himself, it is seldom possible to distinguish between moral principle and the divinity. Later texts consistently use the ‘Best’ epithet when speaking of the Amesha Spenta, only once in the Gathas is ‘best’ an adjective of aša/arta.
Muṣaṣir (Assyrian Mu-ṣa-ṣir and variants, including Mutsatsir, Akkadian for Exit of the Serpent/Snake ), in Urartian Ardini (likely from Armenian Artin) was an ancient city of Urartu, attested in Assyrian sources of the 9th and 8th centuries BC.
It was acquired by the Urartian King Ishpuini ca. 800 BC. The city’s tutelary deity was Khaldi. The name Musasir in Akkadian means exit of the serpent. The city’s location is not known with certainty, although there are a number of hypotheses, all in the general area of Zagros south of Lake Urmia.
The Armenians spread twice – first in a southern rim – from Spain to India etc., and then, with the Indo-European languages, from the northern Caucasus, where the people and culture shows origin from the southern Caucasus. It was the kurgan culture, which started in the Armenian Highland.
Armenians language is considered by most linguist to be an Indo-European but our language is still not fully deciphered. We have a big chunk of words with unknown origin. The Armenian language is not IE, but was a secret language of only ancient priests (Armenian origin) and common people spoke another language. With outmigration from AH priests carried secret language to other peoples. When we decipher many words they are indeed related to ancient symbols, etc. as if someone really invented those words on purpose.
Haplogroup R1b is called: Italo-Celtic, Germanic; Hittite, Armenian, Tocharian
