Paul and Peter. Paul was imprisoned in Rome and would've surely proselytized to his captors. Most historians date at least some of Paul's letters to pre-70 A.D. since none of them mention the destruction of the temple. I've seen 1 Corinthians dated to 56. Likewise, the books attributed to Peter don't mention the temple either, even though it would advantageous for him to say that Jesus predicted the temple would be destroyed. And it's pretty well established from the writings of other first and second century church father writings that Peter became a missionary to Rome.

No pire aryans exist today, but their spirit lives on. Aryans influence results in cultures of selflessness, creation, and cultural progress and is diametrically opposed to Judaic "values" of rootless parasitic consumerism, destruction, and skullduggery.

in sanskrit, 'rupya' means either 'formed/shaped silver' as in a silver coin (from 'ruup' for 'to shape' and 'piia' for 'silver') which, over time, came to be used more generally to mean 'something of value' IE money.
this is why many former and current currencies have names which are direct descendants and/or cognates of 'rupya' such as russia's ruble, india's/bengladesh'/sri lanka's/nepal's etc rupee, indonesia's rupiah, maldives rufiya etc etc etc

Japan has had an interest in India and, to a lesser extent, Sri Lanka and Nepal, from shortly after Buddhism entered grolious Nippon and they learned its Indic origin. They've been sending monks there for centuries. The most recent example of Indo/Jap relations I can think of is the Indian judge during the WWII trials. The Japanese built a statue to him somewhere over there.
Oddly, as far as I can tell, the Chinese, who introduced Buddhism to Japan in the first place, never really cared much about its provenence.

Making such broad generalizations about unique historical events (dude Indo-Aryans and Germanics are the same) is peak psuedointellectualism, but if you did have to be an Eurocentric idiot who needs a direct analogy to understand foreign historical events, the Aryan conquest of India was more similar to the Norman conquest of England in the way that both races (Normans and Saxons/Aryans and Dravidians) maintained a somewhat separated culture for generations that eventually found a synthesis over time. A lot more happened in European history between Rome and the Victorian Age. Read a book sometime.

>>5897608
First of all, no one was talking about germanics, they were talking about the historic aryans who were the forerunners of the Persians and Indo-Aryans.

Martin Luther was right, the Catholic Church was corrupt, decadent, and given to idolatry.

World War One had victims on every side. The leaders who instigated the war and sent the youth to die in the trenches were the villains.
