my best guess on this is that they’re substituting “aryan” for turanian to avoid the nazi-coding. Turan is an iranian term for east-of-iran based on a legendary figure. as indo-iranian(aryan) split into iranian and indo-aryan in the general area of Turan i suppose the nazis probably think there was a central-asian atlantis of white people over there or something
the other two terms first results are from conan the barbarian lmao
i’m probably giving them too much credit based on the conan references in the other terms, lol. a guy makes some dumb books that reference quack historiography and a few decades later a handful of nazis think its gospel lmao

thank you, that was sadly illuminating
seems like all the weird, vaguely shitty dudes I knew in my 20s all somehow banded together to form an openly shitty, truly reprehensible club
