Oh no! Aries are related to Aryans?!?!

Oh no! Aries are related to Aryans?!?

According to Wikipedia the word "arya" first meant "noble" or "excellent" among Aryans...

...The fact might be, however, that Aryans called themselves "Arya" around 3000 BC.

But wait... They even happened to name north of India "Aryavarta" ("Land of the excellent ones")!

Now I don't know for you, but for me the Aryans used to think just like the typical Aries.

We're elite... You're not. : P

To answerer #4: consider that greek culture and (our) roman culture themselves come in part from Aryans. We get proofs of that with "arya" being used as a root in terms like aris-tos and ars for the Roman (wikipedian source again).

The mythology mentioned in your answer may be more recent than 3000 BC and unless i'm wrong, no evidence shows that the Aries constellation was identified prior to the "birth" of Aryans in human history.

Btw thanks for that Hitler parralel. The Furious Fuhrer had Mercury in Aries but his natal chart displays far more Taurus than Aries ---- hence the interest for arts, the devotion and sharp imagination he had.

You should read about constellations. Most are based on Greek myths. There is no relation with Ares the war god or Ayran people.

Add on: Hitler was an Aries.

Aries
This is one of the 13 constellations of the Zodiac.

The Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Persians all agreed on this constellaton's name of the Ram. In Greek mythology, the story of the Ram begins in Thessaly. The King of Thessaly had two children named Phrixus and Helle who were beaten by their stepmother. The god Hermes beame angered by this and sent a ram to carry the two children to safety. Tragically, Helle lost her grip and tumbled from the ram into the narrow strip of water between Europe and Asia, now called Hellespont in her honor. Phrixus, on the other hand, arrived safely to the shores of the Black Sea where he sacrificed the ram and gave its fleece to a sleepless dragon for safe-keeping. Later, Jason and his intrepid Argonauts recovered the prized fleece and returned it to Thessaly.
