The Aryan Lords of Hattusha

This week I watched a documentary on BBC4-The Dark Lords of Hattusha as part of the BBC`s Lost Cities of the Ancients series and thoroughly enjoyed it and I will give credit to the BBC in that they allowed the documentary maker to explain how the Indo-European origins of the Hittites was discovered via the deciphering of their cuneiform writings. However the parallels that they appeared to make with the Third Reich were more than obvious although they did not name Germany. It is clear to me from the title of this episode-Dark Lords that this was their likely intention!
Watch it for yourself and make your own mind up!

The Aryan Lords of Avaris

As my readers will be aware, I have on this blog in particular argued for the Aryan origins of Egyptian civilisation as it is the Aryan alone who is the true originator and maintainer of culture and civilisation.
It would appear that this argument is gaining ground and those nutcases who argue for a negroid genesis of Egyptian civilisation and indeed for western and thus European civilisation are shown for the snake oil charlatons that they are.

Here is an extract from David Rohl`s Lords of Avaris book which incidentally I highly recommend:

Referring to Professor Martin Bernal`s ludicrous book Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization Dr Rohl states: "However, this Afro-centric perspective and Bernal`s original, less radical, position[here Dr Rohl is referring to the deluded negroid-American revolutionaries who argue in favour of negro pharaonic migrants from north-east Africa who allegedly brought with them Egyptian civilisation-or the seeds of it]are both wrong because they fail to take into consideration the origins of the Hyksos kings whose descendants left Egypt for the Aegian. Their homeland was not in Africa or Egypt or the Levant. They came not from the south or east but from the Pelasgian north-as migrants[probably as military conquerors] who took over dominion of the Levant and Egypt in the Middle Bronze Age."
He goes on to state: "Others of their kin remained in southern Canaan-the Bible knows them as Philistines and Jebusites-whilst their Aryan allies in the north took on the guise of the Mitannian rulers of the Late Bronze Age.
There were no major African influences going out of Egypt to the Aegian beyond those acquired during the Hyksos period from pharaonic[Nilotic] culture which was itself predominately influenced by the ancient Near Eastand not black Africa beyond the Second Catract of the Nile."[Pages 263-264]

Throught his work Dr Rohl emphasises the Indo-European[at times he uses the term Aryan] connections between Egypt, mainland Greece, Anatolia and Crete and builds his case for the thoroughly Indo-Europeans origins of western civilisation. The book is lavishly illustrated with many colour plates and is a mammoth 524 pages long.

The Lone Wulf

The wolf as an animal that has an ancient and close connection to the pre-christian Germanic peoples and should be viewed along with the boar, the bear and the raven as a totemic animal for our people. Woden as my readers will be aware is the master of two wolves, Geri and Freki.
Many of us who are active in the Wodenic revival not only associate ourselves with this animal but adopt its characteristics, albeit perhaps unconsciously which all the more affirms our ancient afinity for this creature. Some of us even go on to adopt its name as our own personal name because of our close identification.
Germanic man`s affinity with the wolf, especially the lone wolf goes back to the concept of the Werwolf and an example of this may be found in the legend of Sigurd and his son Sinfjotli who was conceived by his sister Signy in order to exact revenge upon the enemies of the Volsunga, his blood being of the purest kind and a linear descendant of Woden Himself.
The characteristics of the Lone Wolf in particular should be of especial interest to us and are worthy of emulation.

A laudable definition of the Lone Wolf may be found on Wikipedia:

A lone wolf is a wolf that lives independently rather than with others as a member of a pack. The term is also used in reference to people who exhibit characteristics of introversion or a strong preference for independence.

In the animal kingdom, lone wolves are typically older wolves driven from the pack, perhaps by an alpha male, or young adults in search of new territory. Rather than openly challenge the dominance of the pack leaders, many young wolves between the ages of 1 and 4 years leave their family to search for a pack of their own. Some wolves will simply remain lone wolves; as such, these lone wolves may be stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack. However, lone wolves have difficulty hunting, as wolves' favorite prey, large ungulates, are nearly impossible for a single wolf to bring down alone. Instead, lone wolves will generally hunt smaller animals and scavenge carrion. Occasionally, a lone wolf will encounter another lone wolf of the opposite sex, and the two may start a new pack.

When used to describe a person, this term is applied to individuals who prefer solitude, or who work alone. In literature, the term is used to establish a character as aloof and emotionally unable or unwilling to directly interact with other characters in the story. A stereotypical lone wolf will be dark or serious in personality; he is often taciturn, and will distinguish himself through his reserved nature.

Lone wolf of the group

A paradoxical additional term used to describe someone who spends enough time with a group to be considered a member but not enough time to be very close to the other members. Such people tend to not take part in the group activities or "get-togethers". It is also rarely applied to someone who is shy and tends to refer to someone who simply spends most of their time alone.

When applied to military or security groups, it refers to someone who frequently acts on their own accord, insists on working alone, refuses to work with most of if not all members of the group and/or goes against the plans of missions/operations and attempts to complete said task alone.

The Battle-Ax People by Olivia Vlahos-A Review

I have recently completed my reading of a now sadly out of date book titled The Battle-Ax People by Olivia Vlahos, published in 1968. I was fortunate to be able to import an ex-library copy from the USA.
The book is divided into two parts, Part I: Into Old Lands, Among City Folk which tells the story of the movement of the Indo-European tribes or Battle-Ax peoples into the ancient world with chapters on the Kassites, Hittites, Mitanni, Hyksos, Aryans[Indo-Aryans] and Persians.
Part II: Moving West is concerned with the Minoans and Mycenaeans, Greeks, Romans, Celts[and their precursors], Teutons[including the Vikings] and the Samartians.
There is an epilogue which is concerned with telling the story in brief of the development of the English language.
The book is full of interesting illustrations and maps which help the reader to follow the text of what would otherwise be a rather dry subject.
Vlahos` use of everyday English makes this work on the Indo-Europeans accessable to both adults and young people. I only wish that this enjoyable and informative book was republished for today`s budding Aryanists to read.
