Why couldn’t indo europeans conquer the Fertile Crescent? Did the Taurus/zagros mountains make it too inaccessible or were the civilizations there just too powerful?
>>18068849It's density, but also race. Southern hemisphere has malaria and only NPCs live there. Nobody wants to move in those areas and Aryans were expelled by dravidians. Harrapans destroyed all evidence of civilization, their genocide of Aryans and their observations on the insanity of civilization. Nobody wanted or was able to go in those places besides ethnics and it took until the bronze age collapse for them to became even possible to enter.
>>18068855I mean the aryan cultural and genetic impact was way bigger in India than the Middle East so it still doesn’t answer the question
>>18068865Because they were expelled from India obviously. Just like ongoing genocide of tamils.
>>18068869But the Middle East didn’t even have to expel them because they were never a ruling class there. Why?
>>18068892Just to kill white people. Of course. The harrapans had an entire written history of how civilization was degenerate and they supported it's goals, supported language and other futile activity, and encased infants in clay and created the statutes that survive today.
>>18068849> Why couldn’t Indo-Europeans conquer the Fertile Crescent?> completely ignores the Hittites in the northern Fertile Crescent
>>18068849bit of both. the hittites were I-E speakers and controlled a bit of what is now syria and lebanon but couldn't conquer palestine or any of mesopotamia because the empires already there could resist themeurope and the iranian plateau had no civilization so steppe herders could just conquer the tribes piecemeal with no opposition. india maybe had some remnants of civilization but once you get to the indus valley there's no real natural barriers so the mass of aryans traveling southeast could topple whatever societies existedthe mountains along the northern edge of the crescent were a big enough barrier that the stable societies of mesopotamia and egypt could mostly hold back the indo-europeans, and failing that they could assimilate the indo-europeans rather than the other way around like what happened in europe, iran and india
>>18068855>fertile crescent had malariaso did Italy, people flooded into the fertile crescent during the peak of agriculture especially with europe undergoing multiple cold snaps
>>18068849The fertile crescent had more populous civilizations than the Indus valley civ and early more gradual exposure to the spoked wheel chariot via the Hittites. The Indus valley civ was relatively isolated from other organized polities at the time.>>18068869India speaks Indo-European and bears the r1a haplotype. Aryans weren't expelled, the male ruling class gradually racemixed with the lower castes until all that was left was the male haplotype and a bastardized language, culture and religion.
>>18068956It obviously had a lot less malaria. Stupid reasoning.You also moved the timeline thousands of years in the future just to overcome the the total dearth of events in that period. Migrations usually track climate and northward migration correlates with warming. The overall northward trend in history correlates with the temperature over millennia. That is not related to op but it does answer your sidetrack.Roman warming, medieval warming and little ice age all correlate with movements. >>18068990Bullshit but nobody believes you so it's fine.
>>18068849Mittani and kassites
>>18068849They did conquer the area several times. They just never populated it as a majority because they were densely populated at the time of arrival (in contrast with a Europe that had been depopulated by massive epidemics shortly before the expansions and the Indus Valley that had been largely de-urbanized for hundreds of years before the first Indo-Aryans showed up.Semites largely served that role in the region. >>18068855Newfaggots, please ignore GDPschizo. Seems like the mods stopped rangebanning Las Vegas or smt.>>18068924The Hittites were kind of already there before even the chalcolithic if we are to believe some genetic studies.>>18068990IIRC the harappan cities had been abandoned for a long time before large scale migration. Oh wait you subscribe to the Chud fantasy rather than any strictly factual theory. As strange as this will sound, India had a fairly mediated process.
>>18068849Aren't modern Syrian and Iraqi Kurds Indo-Europeans?!
>>18069135>IIRC the harappan cities had been abandoned for a long time before large scale migration.This is brown cope. To anyone else reading this, look into how long it too for the Hindus to accept that IE migration even happened in the first place. Most still try and say that it was the Hindus who migrated West, lol. This time in history has always been a highly sensitive political issue in India since they became attained self-governance from the British.
>>18068849You say why couldnt as if they never did.They did, multiple times.Just because their language isnt common there today does not mean their language was never spoken there especially among the elites.Iranics, an Indo European group, once dominated the entirety of West Asia from Libya to Bahrain, to Tajikstan under the rule of the Achaemenids.
>>18068849Indo europeans that conquered the fertile crescent: hittites, mittani, persians, greeks, romans, crusaders, french and brits
