History of Indo-European Languages...

World's races are as follows (the categories that is don't argue with me argue with anthropology experts):

1) White (Caucasian)
2) Black
3) Yellow (middle east and asia)
4) Red (Native Americans)
5) Brown (present day "latinos")

Armenians fall under WHITE and I do not see why you are trying to refute that.

Again, you are calling me a dupe for no reason. You are upset because when I used the word "race" I was not using it with the definition you like the most. Phuck off.

I like accuracy therefore no I disliked the way you distorted the definition.
Here is the only way I can sum this up in a nutshell for you:


Around the year 2000 BC, originating in the Caucasus, a sun worshipping Indo-European tribe calling themselves Aryans, using a language known as Sanskrit, invaded central Asia and occupied territory as far as the north of India. These invaders were what became known as the original Aryans.

In fact, all of those countries spanning their age of conquest bear names directly related to them - India, Iran, Iraq are all corruptions of the original word "Aryan". (Far off distant racial cousins of the Aryans went west, penetrating as far as Ireland, giving the name "Eire" to that land - also a derivative of the word Aryan).
Is that clear? Thank you good bye.

Within the Armenian highlands (comprising the present territories of north-eastern Iran, eastern Turkey, south Caucasus), the sun was revered second to none. The sun was the physical manifestation of the supreme deity in the heavens. During the classical period, Aramazd (an Armenianized version of the Iranian supreme god Ahura-Mazda of Zoroastrianism) symbolized by the Zoroastrian sun/fire, was the supreme deity of the Armenian highlands. Sun worship was so profound within Armenian territories that many of its rituals and theosophies were incorporated within Armenian Apostolic Church, which was officially founded in 301 A.D. and even as late as the nineteenth century, there were isolated pockets of sun worship being practiced. Of historical importance is a medieval Armenian source (eight centuries after the conversion of Armenians to Christianity) describing a resilient Armenian sun cult whose adherents were known as "Arevorti", sons (children) of the sun (light).

It is suggested by Armenologists that even the essence of the compound word "Ar-men-ia,” implies sun worship. The prefix Ar, the first syllable of Armenia, is the primordial root word for Areg or Arev (sun). This pre-historic root word for the sun also manifests its-self as the pre-historic Armenian god Ara popularly known in Armenian historiography as Ara the Fair, the primordial god most commonly associated with agriculture and spring. The second component of the compound word men obviously designates group of people. The final component of the compound word ia designates a geographic location.

It should be noted here that the Armenian Highlands were not the exclusive location were the god Ara was revered and worshiped. According to Armenian scholars Ghapantsian and Kavookjian, the worship of the cult of Ara s they term it, could be observed within the worship of various peoples throughout the ancient Near-East and Europe. For the Urartians the deity was known as Ardi; within the Hellenic world he was known as Ares, Aras and Er, Germanic tribes recognized him as Ertag; among the Celts of Ireland he was manifested as Ir, within Georgia he was called Arali, among Slavic tribes he was know as Yar or Yarilo, within Mesopotamia Ar was worshiped as Aria and Aru. It is interesting to note at this time that the sun god Ra (Ra-Amon) of ancient Egypt might very well have been a corrupted (reversed) form of the root word of the god Ara. Ar or Ara may very well have been introduced into Egypt by the conquering Hyksos tribes who Armenian historians speculate originated somewhere within the territories of the Armenian Highlands. Thus, the compound word Armenia may very well imply – the land of the god Ar or the land of sun worshipers.

We have heard genetic explanation. But now we should look at what even forms and moulds such genetics.Environment and nutrition: our genes are shaped by these factors. The reason why darker skin and eye colors appear as they are is because there is an increased concentration of the pigment, melanin in the body and cells. When sunlight hits the skin it initiates and causes the process of melanogenesis (melanin pigment formation) which darkens the skin. When we go to area where there is an increased amount of sun and exposure we see darker skin, e.g.: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, India, South America, Mexico, especially Africa. Now when we go to an area where there is less sun or people are less exposed to the sun, there is typically lighter skin, eye and hair colors (e.g. Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, etc). Nutrition is also a significant impactor of skin color, because as humans we constantly expose ourselves to food and other nutritional sources that promote (vitamin D, L- tyrosine, etc) or inhibit (alpha-linolenic acid, lipoic acid, vitamins C, B3, E, L-tryptophan, lactic acid, etc.) the process of melanogenesis occurring within the cells of our bodies. For example, sauer kraut is a food which contains lactic acid (so does yogurt but this also contains vitamin D), maybe that is why the Germans are still so light :.) And: "Nutritional environment combined with genetic inheritance yields what is called the "phenotype" of the individual, his or her observable size, shape and function." (Genetic Nutritioneering by JS Bland, Ph.D. (1999), pg. 3). Thus, throughout time these genes add up and being dominant traits they tend to suppress or rid of the lighter colors and shades.
