A Short History of the World Chapter 19 - The Primitive Aryans
from The H. G. Wells Library · host H. G. Wells
In which we observe the wanderings and customs of the early Aryan tribes—fair and blue-eyed folk who roamed the forests and plains of central Europe and Asia, wielding bronze and later iron, and spreading their language and social order across vast lands. Their migrations bring them into contact and conflict with older peoples, setting the stage for the profound transformations of the ancient world as Aryan culture gradually intertwines with the civilisations of the Mediterranean, India, and beyond.
