That depends on the context. You are speaking of the Hindu context. In other contexts the left-facing swastika represents the wheel of the sun rotating clockwise and the right-facing is an inversion of this.

@markmanning6542 WTF does archaeology of ancient Mesopotamia have to do with Jewish propaganda? None of what I said comes from the Bible.

@AJAYSINGH-ns1vv I don''t care what the Rigveda says. It may be a wonderful piece of literature but citing it as a source is laughable. You would react the same way if I told you that my evidence was the Bible or the Koran.

That is what it means today. That is not what it means in the Rig Veda (although it doesn't mean race in that context either).

@keithstevens5614 The idea of a conquering caste has been pretty much demolished by modern archaeology. There may have been a migration (genetics support that there was) but it was not violent as it was in Europe. More than likely Indo-European culture simply became a high-prestige culture which others already living there adopted, mixing with the pre-existing local culture to produce what we know as Vedic culture. It's undeniable that some aspects of Hinduism (most notably Shaivism) predate the arrival of Indo-European-speaking people.

@markmanning6542 Unrelated word. The Sumerians didn't actually call themselves Sumerians, they called themselves "saĝ-gíg" which means black-headed people. "Sumer" was the name given to them by their Semitic neighbors and "Sumerian" is a modern European adjectival form.

@keithstevens5614 Probably not that far north. The Akkadians spoke an East Semitic language so they probably came from the highlands to the immediate north of Mesopotamia. There's not a shred of evidence that their ancestors spoke anything related to an Indo-European language, while the Luwians did speak an Indo-European language. The speakers of Anatolian languages like Luwian were probably the first group to break off from the main Proto-Indo-European culture. Anthony goes into this in his book.

And pigs could actually be aliens from Venus, but don't bet on it. The chariot was a foreign innovation into Egypt by the Hyksos, as documented in the Egyptians' own records and modern archaeology. It originated in the steppe and was taken from there to India and the Middle East and then to Europe, Egypt, and China.

Well, she never shelled Mexico from a naval patrol boat.

@keithstevens5614 There were Semitic-speaking people in Mesopotamia and the Levant from the very beginnings of recorded history. They just didn't start writing until around 2500 BC or so. Sumer was always confined to the southern part of Mesopotamia, the north was Semitic. Where the Semitic languages originated is the subject of much debate, but they had spread throughout the Middle East before the invention of writing. The Amorite language is more closely related to northwest Semitic languages like Canaanite/Hebrew and Aramaic than to Arabic or the south Arabian languages.

@108lvl I don't remember exactly what I was referring to when I wrote that, but IIRC in Buddhist usage the left-facing swastika is usually considered more auspicious, and in cultures like the prehistoric Celts and sometimes Slavs where it was a sun symbol the left-facing one had a more positive context because if you visualize it rolling along a surface you would expect it to roll clockwise (sun-wise), from left to right, like the sun does if you're watching it in the northern hemisphere, while the right-facing one would roll counter-sunwise, which is unlucky.

@daizyflower272 First off, polar shift and magnetic polar shift are not the same thing. The earth has been spinning the same way since it formed. The continents have been in different positions WRT the poles, but those drifts take place over tens of millions of years. Second the magnetic poles haven't reversed for nearly 800,000 years, which is longer than the our species has existed.

@je-freenorman7787 It wasn't changed to Proto-Indo-European, you're talking about two different concepts. Proto-Indo-European is a reconstructed language, not, strictly peaking, an ethnic group of people. The idea started in linguistics long before modern genetics and archaeology gave us the tools to track movements of prehistoric people.

@safs3098 By Central Asian I think he meant the Tocharians, who are extinct. That was a completely different branch of Indo-European languages from the Indo-Aryan branch that includes Tajik, Pashto, etc.

There's actually some truth to that. The Nazis had some rational war aims but their overall policy can only really be understood if you understand their fundamentally irrational, romantic world-view.

What makes you say they didn't in Spain or France? Spanish and French are both Romance languages just like Romanian is, directly descended from Latin. Egypt and the southern Balkans had already become Greek-speaking with an extremely ancient, prolific, and robust literary culture and thus did not become Latinized. And the Dacian language is not very well attested but it absolutely is not related to Latin other than being an Indo-European language. Latin is indisputably an Italian language, one of many that developed in Italy in the 1st millennium BC. Dacian is probably more closely related to other nearby IE languages - Albanian, Illyrian, or Thracian. I find it hilarious how every country in the Balkans has its own claim to be the original cradle of civilization and the natural master of all the others. The state of modern cultures there must be quite pathetic to generate such a profound need to invent such an absurd fantasy past. Whatever gets you through the night, I guess, but don't mistake it for anything resembling actual history or reality.

The point stands - it was pronounced kentum by the Romans and the pronunciation and spelling changed slightly in all the succeeding Romance languages.

But the 𐌔 rune had become known as the sieg rune before the SS adopted it.

@porphyry17 Projects to rebuild alleged ancient empires can never lead to peace because these claims inherently conflict with each other. And VERY few people can honestly claim to be the first people who lived in the area they call home. German-speakers were not the original inhabitants of what is now Poland, and Greek and Illyrian speakers (none of the latter even exist today, btw) were not the original inhabitants of the Balkans.

@nunceccemortiferiscultu7826 You might want to read some actual history and forget nonsense you get from YouTube. Iran and India are not and never have been inhabited by Arabs from Arabia. You might as well say black Christians in Nigeria are actually Jewish since they follow a religion that originally came from from Judea.

@blugaledoh2669 Before the term "Indo European" was coined, no one had any idea that there was any connection between the languages and peoples of India, West Asia, and Europe.

There's a limit to tolerance. If I claim my religion requires me to murder everyone I meet on the street who doesn't bow before me and acknowledge me as divine, society can hardly be expected to tolerate my doing so in the name of religious freedom.

That is complete nonsense. The UK was the last major combatant to join the war in 1914 after having made multiple attempts to mediate a peaceful solution between Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Serbia. The German high command was pushing Austria to attack Serbia in the hopes of starting a war with Russia before the UK government was even involved in the diplomacy surrounding the crisis.

There is no Aryan invasion theory. It's a strawman. And most of the rest of what you say is nonsense invented by liars with an agenda only slightly less problematic and no less fantasy-based as that of the Nazis.

"Pure and righteous Aryan" in the context of that inscription has nothing to do with physical characteristics ("race"), it means he spoke the correct (in his view) language and practiced the correct religion.
