They were agriculturalists, they had two classes (farmers and priests), they lived in small villages ruled by chiefs, which were gathered into larger units on the basis of clans (extended families), they worshiped a sky father and an earth mother (along with other lesser gods), their diet was rich in meat and dairy products, they loved alcohol and fermented grains to make beer, honey to make mead, and grapes to make wine, they worked bronze and engaged in long-distance trade, they were patriarchal and patrilocal and they had a system of law based on "trials", where the accused would prove his innocence not with evidence but by enduring some trial or other that showed he had the favor of the gods.

This. They never existed. It was just meme insecure Eurocentric indologist made up to claim they were responsible for the achievement of ancient India.

Is this what Proto-Indo-European music sounded like?
David Garcia
No, this the proto-language of language itself. It was gifted to us by the Bogs in the form of the call that saved mankind. The fracturing of human speech into various families was due to the inabilities of those early humans to fully grasp and reproduce its complexities.
Angel Adams
that's an unbelievably retarded statement
The theory of a PIE language was a natural and obvious extension of the study of linguistics itself especially with the exposure to material on Sanskrit. The question pertaining to the OP largely deals with material culture, so saying that their was a group of people(s) that spoke something resembling what we would suspect PIE to be we would expect them to have similarities in lifestyle and culture to some extent.
Now if you're talking about the usage of "Aryan" or theories regarding Aryans, especially the focus on an Aryan invasion that's a different story

Probably hardy and rustic nomadic pastoral like other nomadic Eurasian peoples but with chariots before settling down and developing higher culture.

Lol what the fuck is this shit, looks nothing like PIE at all.
Landon Long
Aryan was the term used before the 1930s. PIE is the current politically correct term that replaced "Aryan".
Camden Lopez
Probably tried to render PIE more intelligibly but ended up looking like a Scandinavian language.
Jose White
Can you find cognates for Aryan in other branches besides Indo-Aryan? Indo-Germanic was also used.
Camden Morris

Landon Howard
Not him but
There are cognates outside of Indo-Iranian, Hittite āra "peer, friend", Lycian arus "citizen", Irish aire "freeman, nobleman", this has been recognized for a long time. There is just no evidence for its use as an ethnonym outside of Indo-Iranian.
But Aryan was still used as a synonym for Indo-European, even in academic contexts until WWII just out of convention. Kinda like how Tocharians are still called Tocharians today even though that was a misconception.
Anthony Young
Ain't no gentleman nor scholar but it seems like his post was bait and you took it, son.
I say.
Leo Morgan
Considering that they had the word("rheg") for king, the IE must have lived under a king
Camden Evans
Gaulish has the word aryos "lord, noble, freeman"
Charles Davis
Greece had aristos "the best"

>it's another episode of swarthy meds and arab/indians larping as Aryans
