New Hasanlu samples Southern Arc study is death kneel for Sintashta Indo-Iranian theory and for also for spoked wheel theory.

Hansanlu shows Yamanya admixture but not MLBA Sintashta. On golden bowl of Hansanlu you can see chariots with spoked wheel, they have 6 spokes too. Samples were analyzed on this on blog as well -> https://a-genetics.blogspot.com/2022/08/southern-arc-.html

Spoked wheel iconography with 6 spokes from Neolithic SC Asia/Gerdosia region, none of these samples have steppe btw -> https://preview.redd.it/kqm47btep4i71.jpg?auto=webp&s=7fb7d41b82a6e478bf60d1ebf080c0d24634223b

If anything it looks like Sintashta spoked wheels were influenced by something coming from Iran/SC Asia.

There’s always changes in archeology and anthropology. I’m very interested in the bowl of hasanlu myself as well as the Armenian hypothesis, as I have been for some time. I’m just waiting for more corroboration.

The next few years of discoveries will be enormous.

people should cope with the fact that the term Arya is used only to refer to the Indo-Iranians and the Indo-Aryans...unless you are a nazi of course.

The term "Aryan" was originally used as an ethnocultural self-designative identity and epithet of "noble" by Indo-Iranians and the authors of the oldest known religious texts of Rig Veda and Avesta.

Aryan is derived from the Sanskrit (ārya) meaning "noble and educated".

Noble means having, showing, or coming from personal qualities that people admire (such as honesty, generosity, courage, etc.)

“He was a man of noble character.”
