Lost White Civilizations III - Middle East - (Radio Albion - Sven Longshanks)

Sven Longshanks presents part 3 of a series looking at lost White civilisations, today covering the Middle East.

There have been many civilisations in the Middle East and all started out White, before eventually falling to miscegenation and producing the Arabs that we find there now.

The first was the Sumerian. We know they were White because they left depictions of themselves. They were the first to use writing and LA Wadell believes they sent colonists to India and Egypt, which explains the similarities between the writing of each.

After Sumeria we had the Babylonian civilisation and Hammurabi. Hammurabi was known as the White king and he explicitly wrote about ruling over the black headed people. His was the first law code.

The Phoenicians were also White and they remained mostly White right up until the Punic wars, with Hannibal being described as having come from a noble family. ‘To be of noble birth’ is one of the ways you can tell from historical sources that someone was White, as to be mixed race meant you were of ignoble birth.

The Persians were also clearly White and they even called themselves Aryans.

This area went through repeated stages of White invaders taking over a territory, before then succumbing to miscegenation with the previous population. Eventually the area was too far gone to ever produce an empire again and the Greeks and Romans took over.
