Bronze age cities built by the Aryans that date back to the beginning of Western civilization in Europe have been discovered in Russia

Archaeologists have identified 20 of the spiral-shaped settlements that were built some 4,000 years ago shortly after the Great Pyramid in Egypt. It is believed that the buildings were used by the original Aryan race whose swastika symbol was later adopted by the Nazis in the 1930s. The remains of the ancient city were explored for the first time around 1990 shortly after Soviet officials relaxed strict laws banning non-military aerial photography. But because of the region is so remote the incredible cities have remained virtually unknown to the rest of Europe until now. They are about the same size as several of the city states of ancient Greece and would have housed between 1,000 and 2,00 people. The Aryan's language has been identified as the precursor to a number of modern European tongues. English uses many similar words such as brother, oxen and guest which have all been tracked to the Aryans. Items that have so far been dug up at the sites include make-up equipment, a chariot and numerous pieces of pottery. The artifacts were daubed in swastikas which were used in ancient times as symbols of the sun and eternal life. Evidence of ritual horse burials were found at the site which ties in with ancient Aryan texts that describe the animals being sliced up and buried with their masters.
