Diskussion:Arier: Forskelle mellem versioner

The concept of the Aryan race that the Nazis used stems from racial theories asserting that '''Europeans''' are the descendants of Indo-Iranian settlers, people of ancient India and ancient Persia. Proponents of this theory based their assertion on the similarity of European words and their meaning to those of Indo-Iranian languages. Johann Gottfried Herder argued that the Europeans held close racial connections with the ancient Indians and ancient Persians, who he claimed were advanced peoples possessing a great capacity for wisdom, nobility, restraint, and science. Contemporaries of Herder utilized the concept of the Aryan race to draw a distinction between what they deemed "high and noble" Aryan culture versus that of parasitic Semitic culture.--[[Bruger:Rusty Nail|Rusty Nail]] ([[Brugerdiskussion:Rusty Nail|diskussion]]) 30. jun 2012, 03:46 (CEST)
