“The Aryan race once exercised an important influence upon the fortunes of the Jewish people. Following his conquest of Babylonia, the Aryan king Cyrus freed the Israelite exiles of Judea and permitted them to return to their own country, and even granted them funds to rebuild their holy temple, since the Aryan religious creed was one of tolerance. For two hundred years, down to the fall of the Persian empire, Palestine remained a Persian province, and peace was maintained under the laws and civilization of Persia. The Persians spoke an Indo-European language, and their proud aristocracy belonged to the Aryan race, and was not slow to boast about this. The physical type of Darius and Xerxes, like that of their aristocracy, was Aryan in all its traits. Truth was held in supreme respect, and their religious concept saw life on earth as a war between Truth, the essence of all goodness, and evil, inherent in the Lie. Persian nobles educated their sons, according to Herodotus, “to shoot straight and tell the truth.” This creed was essentially similar to the spirit of ancient Aryan Greece, with its heroes who believed that truthfulness was an inherited quality which marked off the Ari or Aryan (ari-stocracy) from the lying and untrustworthy slaves of inferior descent. It was the Aryan respect for truth that caused the Ancient Greek scholars to lay the foundations of modern science, since their Aryan religious faith taught them to ask questions and, through knowledge, to become more godlike. This was in direct opposition to the Semitic religions which taught their followers to bow down before an awful, powerful, jealous god, and only to “have faith,” and never ask questions about the “word of god” – as taught by self-appointed “prophets.” The same Aryan religious attitudes can be found amongst the Germans, who put truthfulness and courage first among the qualities attributed to their kings and nobles, and whose descendants today still speak with anger when they call a despicable man a “lying bastard,” copying their forebears who believed that men of pure descent did not have it in their blood to degrade themselves by resorting to lies, falsehood, or deceit.” Race in Egypt & the Old Testament by A.
