Aryan, in this case, not referring to white supremacists in the USA - in fact, these people were quite far from it.

definitely a cool find!

Emm.....

you know that Pravda is a joke site, right? Well, a sort of tabloid/Onion/pseudonews site.

That's pretty much the same kind of Aryan they're talking about.

wow, they got me then... i couldn't tell that the article was a joke. and if there are references to white surpremacists, they must be buried pretty well because i couldn't find them.

Pravda has stories about UFO's, people from Mars, etc and I honestly don't know if they take themselves seriously for it. It's a tabloid paper at best anymore, but people don't seem to realize that the wierd stuff they come out with isn't actually real 99% of the time.

Are they intending to be joking? Or do they honestly print that thinking it's real? That's the question in my mind.

I thought Pravda was the Soviet Union's main newspaper back in the day?

Aircraft and death rays and crap like that. I'll bet a lot of it is cribbed from Theosophy and similar schools of thought.

Do you know what actual digs in the area find? A lot of the same stuff they find in other areas 4,000 years ago. Carts and wagons, farming implements and weapons of war. Chariots, ships, clothing, and religious artifacts. All of it equivalent in technological development. The Syrians hadn't even invented the battery yet. (In large part because there were no Syrians yet.)

It's malarky.

It was.

It was one of several newspapers.

Most newspapers from the soviet era still exist, and many have reinvented themselves as eithr popular tabloids or serious broadsheets or whatever.

I'm not terribly familiar with the current situation with Pravda. I believe the name has been fought over by various groups, but last I heard the Pravda newspaper was owned by a leftist Greek businessman. That could have changed, and also, I'm not sure the website is the connected to the paper.
