And did those feet in ancient time…
I await Thomas Cahill’s new edition of The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels wherein he describes the “external guidance” received by the Stone Age forebears of the Britons as the wanderings of Abraham with his son Isaac bringing the light of their advanced culture to the ignorant savages.

Posted by Gorboduc on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:28 | # There are strange links between the Old Testament and the symbology that certain Ulster protestants and the Orange Order use; the Stone of Scone is by some held to be the stone on which Jacob had his dream of the ladder. People of a certain age will remember the excitement caused by the various books of the late John Michell who popularised the leyline theory for the hippy generation (charming bloke, but he rarely bought a round): however it wasn’t at all original, and those even older will remember Alfred Watkins and his ‘The Old Straight Track’ and some will have Dew-a-Digon’s ‘Prehistoric London: Its Mounds and Circles’ (1919). Nigel Pennick and the late Tony Roberts are also good to read here. None of these folk made the mistake of thinking that our ancestors were stupid or ‘primitive’. I think it’s the Darwinists who do that… As Hilaire Belloc said somewhere “re-animate one of your earliest ancestors and stand with him and see who would look the fool…” Bill Cooper’s ‘After the Flood’ (1995) also avoids the “stupid ancestor” pitfall, but then he was a Christian AND a Creationist AND a believer in Intelligent Design. He also makes a daring claim that severeal of the worthies that contribute here will eschew and abhominate (OK, I prefer the archaic spelling) which is, that the ancient King-lists of the early Britons, (that’s the Welsh, now) the Anglo Saxons, the Danes and the Norwegians and the Celts ALL show clear linguistic evidence of descent from one original kingly house, which is, wait for it, the family of Noah.
On the face of it, the choice is simple: l B) line up behind Dawkins for the “our ancestors conversed in grunts” line.

Posted by Lurker on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:50 | # Any discussion about race, immigration etc will sooner or later feature someone shouting from the moral high ground that all our ancestors were from Africa, therefore we are all Africans blah blah etc etc you’ve all heard that one. However, certainly as far as TV, adverts & movies are concerned, primitive man is always shown as white (or Neanderthal). I presume the reason is because it would be unthinkable to portray primitive people as non-white or, God forbid, black. But quite by accident they end up portraying something else - our ancestors as white - severing that much celebrated link to Africa entirely. 4

I fully agree. It often comes down to evolution v. creationism - that often in this day makes a person traditional or progressive. The Aymara Amerindians are said to “look forward to the past”. I’d like to think that means they are tradition oriented, though it’s only recorded (so far as I can find on the Internet) as a peculiar linguistic trait. Commentary on St. Bonaventure by George Boas that I enjoyed because it helps correct what I suspect is a common trap for Christians (for us to embrace a more progressive outlook as a result of over rejection of pagan ancestors):

Posted by James Bowery on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:50 | # I see theories like this as on a continuum from myth to demonstrated scientific consensus. A good deal of the “narrative” within which we interpret our lives is far more mythic than scientific. The key test of a myth is not whether it is “true” but whether it is adaptive. The key test of a scientific theory is its predictive power. Brooks may have a good myth and a bad scientific theory but if so it is certainly better than what Blake and Cahill have done. 7
Posted by Frank on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:53 | # The Aymara Amerindian reference is obscure, but I like it because they might have been impacted by a group of Aryans judging by what Heyerdahl said of their beliefs (that descent from “white gods who came from across the sea” is real) as well as the rest of his research. I don’t want to encourage Aryan supremacism, but I take pride in the tales of the ancient Aryans and wish to learn more about them. 8
Posted by Dan Dare on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:20 | # The folk who might have created this network of hilltop monuments in Britain were almost certainly not Aryan in the sense that we normally understand the term. They were not proto-Indo Europeans who emerged from the Pontic Steppes and slowly spread west across Europe. Based on current genomic data, the so-called Germano-Celts who are the ancestors of most British males (anyone with the R1B +L21 marker) did not reach the British Isles until long after the meso- and neolithic monuments and megaliths had been constructed. The best current evidence indicates that L21 bearers were still in the Rhineland and southern Germany when Stonehenge was erected. The megalith-builders were almost certainly members of Y-haplogroup I2b which appeared around the time of the last glacial maximum and which in turn is a subclade of HG-I (the Cro-magnons). 9
Posted by Frank on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:39 | # My reference to Aryans was with regard to the Aymara Amerindians who live in South America. It was relevant to Gorboduc’s post. It was not relevant to James Bowery’s post. The Celt-Aryans were surely closely related to the megalith builders. The Aryans tend to put up pyramids wherever they go, but the stonehenges (and I’m not very familiar with the other megaliths) seem to be of a different group - though as to the degree of difference I’d like to learn more. The Aryans are not partly descended from the cro-magnons? The most closely cro-magnon ethnic group is currently claimed by some “expert” (I could probably find the article - I want to say it was Mankind Quarterly) to be the Finns. The Finns are closer to what’s thought the Aryan homeland - Heyerdahl thought it might be in the Black Sea area. 10
Posted by Frank on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 20:25 | # Oh I see now the Pontic-Caspian steppe is even closer to Finland than the Black Sea - even better. Finns closest related to Cro-magnons. A “Physical Anthropological Viewpoint” is used, and it puts the Brits as far removed from the cro-magnons. Here are maps of the Y-Haplogroups + other. I’m curious how firm the foundation is for where these originated. As best I can read them, the maps don’t appear to reflect your claim:
Archaeology is often religious not scientific. It’s impact is too great to be an honest field. 11
Posted by Dan Dare on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 20:28 | #
It wouldn’t seem so. There has been almost no trace of Hg-I found east of the Balkans. The ‘Aryan’ ur-Hg (R) is thought to have originated in Central Asia approx 27 kya, while the ‘cro-magnon’ ur-group (I or more likely the still to be discovered ancestor group of both I and J) originated in Europe approx 34 kya. The common ancestor of IJ and R (actually R’s ancestor K) hasn’t been established yet but it must have been at least 40-45 kya. The next upstream is F, which was still in Africa 60 kya. ‘Aryans’ in the form of R1b1b2 didn’t start to enter Europe via Anatolia and the Danube basin until about 5 kya. The ISOGG Y-haplotree may help put all this in context. 12
Posted by Frank on Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:03 | #
And that’s the most common in Britain - these would likely not be Aryans even if originating from Asia. That would be the group responsible for James Bowery’s post. R1A from the Steppes is also present in Scotland and England. These would be the Celt-Aryans. Going by that map, Germany is also majority R1b. So the Krauts may no longer march to their myth of superiority since there’s only a difference in percentage. Where’s poster “Counter-Semite”?
That’s not too far back - still white. 13

Posted by Frank on Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:08 | # One thing though: there’s no way to judge the significance of these variations going only from one map. It gives us an idea of where the males went, but just because there was little mixing from west to east, the I group stopping, doesn’t mean there was necessarily a great genetic divide there. The expert-priests are trying to tie this all back to Africa, and they’re trying to sell that we’re highly mixed. That’s the bias we must be on guard against. 50 years later: “Oops. Apparently you used to be very pure. Congratulations, but now today you’re a nation of immigrants”, etc… 16
Posted by Frank on Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:25 | # The very low frequency of J in Britain at least disproves the British Israelite beliefs, as well as the claim the Trojans fled there. 17
Posted by mm on Mon, 21 Sep 2009 03:42 | # R1A from the Steppes is also present in Scotland and England. These would be the Celt-Aryans. As a matter of fact the presence of R1a in northern Scotland is associated with Norse settlement, not “Celtic”. There’s been no signification correlation of R1a with areas of Celtic settlement that I’ve seen; in fact all of the old Celtic world is solidly R1b. 18
Posted by Frank on Mon, 21 Sep 2009 04:05 | # Btw, thanks for providing those links. I do see it claimed as you say the I built the megaliths, and I do find your claim of age for R1b. But all of this is merely a starting point. At the top of this page (which puts forth your claims), a disclaimer is even given. 19

Posted by James Bowery on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:54 | # More to the point, I was lauding the scientific accuracy of Brooks’ theory in comparison with Blake or Cahill’s mythology. High praise, indeed! But if I were going to really take this to the limit, I’d start talking about Crop Circles, Nazca Lines and the sort of Cromagnon-ridden creatures that return to mate in the oceans’ depths only once every several thousands of our years, propeling themselves through water, air and space at time-dilating speeds. What sort of mythology would Cahill concoct around that! 29

I think those with a realistic outlook realize there will be no political solution to securing the survival of our race. Put bluntly, eventually we’re going to have to pull enough triggers, and blow enough shit up, to get the job done (that is, unless our enemies yield, which of course, they never will). Yet that all requires the proper mindset, it requires capable people to have been awakened to their true interests, the propagation of their very being through time. Just look at the intellectual development of Christopher Lasch in the course of his life, he came far, but never quite got there. It is GW’s philosophic approach which could have brought him the rest of the way home. 30
Posted by Desmond Jones on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 02:28 | # The point is that Goldstein is full of shit. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/1256894.stm As Grant pointed out, there is no Celtic “race”. Culture and linguistics yes, race no. 31
Posted by Dan Dare on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:14 | # Time marches on Desmond. When Goldstein was hypothesing in 2001 there were around 150 identified haplogroups. By 2008 that number had more than doubled, with more than 30 now defined in the R-clade alone. Furthermore SNP markers for ‘Basqueness’ and ‘Irishness’ have been identified (M153 and L21/M222, respectively). Look at the haplotree to see how just closely they are related. Then work your way back the tree to find R1b1b2 (M269), which is the haplogroup associated with the first southern IE incursions into Europe in the 3rd-4th millenium BC. Every Hg downstream from M269 is genetically ‘Celtic’ including the S21 ‘north-germano-Celt’ and the Basque, even though the latter are not, for an as yet unknown reason, linguistically Indo-European. 32
Posted by danielj on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:25 | # Just look at the intellectual development of Christopher Lasch in the course of his life, he came far, but never quite got there. How funny you bring him up in light of your whole quote. This is the quote Lasch utilized just before the contents pages in his ‘84 book The Minimal Self:
I’m fairly sure we’ve established with this that Lasch would not be a fan of the policy prescriptions of the Cap’n. Only a mere decade before he died, but I’m willing to grant he undertook some serious evolution in that last decade of his life. Most likely a private rapprochement with Christianity was what caused this positive swing to the right of his in his later years and certainly not an adoption of the 14 words as his primary creed. Regardless, I think he is on to something here and even the fascists would agree with me.
You’re always talking about spraying bullets. It will destroy everything we are and everything we have built. The “survival” of a few thousand of us will not guarantee anything. 33

No, you don’t. Your point, then, is about motivating white adults with truth-stretching tales a nigger wouldn’t believe. Yeah, yeah, I know: Triumph of De Will n Shit. Plato’s Republic. Been reading “Elizabeth Whitcombe” lately? Been doing much Sharkhunting? “Esoteric radical rightism” is just another term for tacitly racist conservatism - mostly conservative classism of the “Iwannaberichtheeasywaytoo” variety.

I’m happy to put aside the racial attribution for the time being, but there surely cannot be any argument that the European population downstream from M269 are genetically related, can there? If we could reach agreement on that point, perhaps we might go on to a discussion about whether they are ‘Celtic’ or not. What do you say? 39
Posted by Captainchaos on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:00 | # DanielJ,
I doubt he became a believer, but he did apparently come to the conclusion that whatever true community of spiritual uplift that could be had would only come through the medium of traditional cultural forms. Also he seemed to adopt a Daniel Patrick Moynihan stance of admitting the pathologies that exist in the Black community need be judged by and corrected according to the standards of traditional cultural forms; also like Moynihan, the thought of intrinsic biological differences between the races being the basis of observable behavioral differences was unthinkable.
Yeah, too bad.
If our race is genetically annihilated then who gives a shit? Not me. Put it this way: What do you care more about preserving, your child or your child’s finger painting, that is, if you had to choose? And remember, if your child was genetically altered he would not longer be himself, and would have in effect ceased to exist, i.e., died. WP, Thanks for the links. GT,
Leadership also requires being able to think and speak clearly, debating and motivating skills, as well as setting an example. 40
Posted by Desmond Jones on Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:40 | # A discussion to what end? If the Irish, Welsh, Scots and Basques want to believe they are all Celtic nations sharing some linguistic and/or cultural connection, great, they can knock themselves out. However, they are not a race of people. 42
