The legendary Aryans are often called Indo-Europeans. But the latest research in the field of DNA genealogy shows that the Aryan peoples are wider than the Indo-European languages. Linguistics simply does not reach the times where their ancestors came from. These are carriers of haplogroup R1a, who created amazing cultures and civilizations throughout Eurasia. This is described in a new extraordinary study by A.A. Klyosov and K.A. Penzeva. The Aryans entered history and mythology under different names, which masked their identification. These are the “Hyperboreans” of the Russian North, and the Radins in the Maldives thousands of years ago, and the “Afanasievites” of the Minusinsk Basin, and the Scythians from the Don to Altai, and the Celts of Central Europe, and many others. The direct descendants of the ancient Aryans are many millions of Slavs. Today the term "Aryan" in its social meaning is open to people of all races, languages and nationalities. And the authors are pleased to invite their readers to turn to ancient history through the prism of a new science - DNA genealogy.
