Answer 1

india supposedly, there is an old myth in india about the aryans and how they were descended from old races of men that came from atlantis or something
i saw it in some biography about Hitler and how the Nazi religion was formed

Answer 2

There are like at least 5 actual scientific theories today for where "the Aryans" came from along with the non-scientific like "outer space" or similar... Furthermore, the use of Aryan to define Indo-European groups of "white skin" is also getting more and more discredited too.

The name Aryan is derived from Indian tradition, as an Indo-European group arrived at the time when the Indo river civilization fell (2nd Millenium BC). The original theory is that the Aryans invaded India and destroyed the Indo river civilization, conquering the land and enslaving the people. This theory has become discredited as time passes, since it seems that peaceful coexistence was the norm, along with environmental and internal unrest factors which may destroyed the civilization.

Now, these "Aryans" definitively came from Central Asia, so the prevailing theory in the 20th Century is that all white Indo-European groups came from the same area, which is from where some folks like Hitler got his crackpot theories.

As time and evidence mounts, it seems that this idea may not be 100% accurate and new theories are emerging from where the Indo-Europeans came from. Some include that they came from Iran, that they came from Turkey, and some other is that the Cro-Magnon people are actually the Indo-Europeans, and thus, they came from Ice Age Europe.

If you do a little query on wikipedia, you'll get more info into each theory.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as an Aryan! The word is a creation, and idea, it has never been shown to exist physically!

"Root Race Theory held that there was originally a 'root-race' which was basically analogous to the Jews. They believed there was a superior race, descendants of the population of Atlantis, and that over time, the superior, Master Race of Aryans, those descendants, would be pre-eminent at first and then virtually populate the world which would in turn become a utopia. In order for this Master Race to succeed, the 'root-race' would need to either die out over time or be eliminated. This was to ensure the pure blood lines of these Atlantean "paragons." This theory along with nordic mythology of a superior nation of warriors was incorporated into a network of sinister philosophy which fueled the concept of Eugenics, or the breeding of the perfect human race. Other philosophies also contributed to the support of Eugenics, such as Nietzche's concept of the SuperMan: the ultimate in Human attributes and optimal functioning: this model became the forefront paradigm for Hitler's goals in human breeding."
