****GK: Just how can that be proved? "Aryan" is a term
that encompasses Indics, Iranians, Indo-Iranians, and
also "Alans" and, plausibly, Scythians. Accepting that
not all Mitanni aristocrats were "Aryans", how do you
prove that not even some of them were? In the same
wayinwhichyou might "prove" that Hittites were not
"really" Indo-Europeans(:=)))? ****
