This includes the white Russians of Slavic descent and Romans. The Mongols and Huns didn’t leave a genetic mark on Europe. At least not in any significant way. as far as Afro Americans, well they’re not Ethnic Europeans.

I'm proud to be European, I love Europe. We are all children of Rome and ancient Greece. May we all live in peace forever. May all of our diversed cultures remain strong and beautiful as they are for centuries.
You've been lied your entire life. Ancient Greece never existed. Ancient Rome is an Ideal, a dream which is in fact a nightmare. The People that are our fathers are the ones who ended it, since in their Domain slavery was illegal and punished by death and every person who entered their lands was a free man by the law. I'm proud to be their offspring and I can only dream that someday, we will be even close to what they were.....
Not anymore. You took everyone else's and now they're taking what was once yours. Only difference is that instead of by pillaging and crime they do it legally.
There weren't any Turks (mongols) in Asia minor back then. Just hellenistic societies. Ephesus wasn't Turkish, or Miletus or Phocea or Heraclea, etc. Thus the Asia Minor was as much "European" as the rest of Europe.

All Europeans should be fully conscious and deeply proud of their ancient origins and their inspiring art, culture and architecture. Overall, Europeans themselves are often beautiful looking people. Even more significantly, as ancient writers pointed out, there is the deep rooted Western belief in personal freedom, which clearly hails from the proto-democratic cultures of the ancient Greeks and Latins, as well as amongst the Germanic tribes of Northern Europe. By contrast the ancient empires of the Middle East did not take on board the concept of the freedom of the individual. Sadly, this deficit is surely evident to this day amongst the violent, repressive, impoverished and generally dysfunctional Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The Muslim conquest of these regions in the 7th century AD and the destruction of Greco-Roman and Christian (ie Western) culture has set back human freedom and accomplishment in these deeply unhappy areas over many centuries, right up to our own time. This is another wonderful symposium from Fortress of Lugh, with beautiful images of Europe and Europeans.
@@photinodecay That's true the Athenian aristocratic elite condoned slavery, as the did the Spartans over their Helot servants, and I believe Hesiod or Pindar my have been a slave, both were Thebans.

Cyprus is European because it is Greek. So the culture, language, religion, is European. There is a turkish speaking muslim minority in the occupied zone, but it is just a small minority due to ottoman occupation of the island. And even then, those people used Greek to communicate.
Religiously, Albania and Bosnia have muslim majorities Linguistically, the Turks hail from a similar place as the Finns, Estonians and Hungarians, the great Eurasian steppes. Anatolia had always been considered part of the Christian world (the basis for Europe after the rise of Islam, and why Armenia and Georgia are considered European-ish), and with the rise of the Ottomans in the balkans the Ottomans once again became more "European" to the point they were treated as equals by the European powers during the age of Imperialismn an age where European powers saw the "orient" as backwards and inferior. It is my view that Turkey should be welcomed in the EU some day, just like Armenia and Georgia. Some day. NOT today. There are tons of problems in needs of fixing, just like in Ukraine, to meet EU quotas. Namely, Erdogan is a big problem because of his whole political stances of Turkish nationalism and anti-secularism Until the decline of the Ottoman empire and the rise of Greek nationalism, Greeks called themselves "Roman". Much the same, until the fall of the Ottoman empire and the Turkish re-birth with Attaturk, the Turks of the empire called themselves "Roman" I mention Attaturk and he is a core proponent of this idea that Turkey can very much fit in Europe. The problem is the opposite of Attaturk, the likes of Erdogan. Erdogan, who turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque and alienated his balkan neighbours by romanticising Ottoman hegemony over the region

Despite there being some awesome history documentaries on UA-cam this is the only one I could find that really explains who the first European people were
The latter part of this video was bringing up ideas similar to ideas that were widespread in the first part of the previous century, but that got entangled with a certain ideology that suddenly lost influence almost 80 years ago. Though it left behind some artifacts such as the words Caucasian being used to refer to Europeans. Since then, many of these ideas have been more or less taboo. Instead of seing the spread of the Indo-European language as a result of violent conquest, historians and antropologists preferred to describe pre-historic hunter gatherers as mostly peaceful and attibute the spread of the spread of the language to cultural diffusion instead of ethnic conquest and migration. Only in the last 10-15 years or so have we had the capacity to do the kind of DNA analysis that can give a precise description of the DNA composition of peoples from various areas of Europe, and those have largely confirmed the earlier assumptions that Indo-European migrations were quite violent in nature. In many places, especially in Northern Europe and Britain, virtually all pre-existing male bloodlines (y chromosomes) disappeared during the 3rd millenium BC (and 4th in some places), and were replaced by "steppe-people DNA". And in any given location, the disappearance was quite sudden, often only a couple of centuries. Meanwhile, female bloodlines (mitochondrial DNA) survived to a much larger extent, usually with half or more of the population coming from local female lineages. This paints a grizzly picture of invading bands of warriors invading a territory, killing (or at best enslaving) ALL males while taking the young females as wives. And this was not limited to isolated cases. They kept it going systematically for over a millenium, and spread in this manner from Ireland in the west to Myanmar in the east. Later "barbarian" conquerers, including the Vikings, Huns and even Mongols completely pale by comparison. Definitely not the peaceful "Noble Savage" view of pre-history that has been popular for the last 80 years or so.
Greek here. The name “Europa” can be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes”, or "She Who Sees Widely (far)", or "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide". The first Europa is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. She personifies the Continent. Her sisters are Asia and Libya (Africa). Her name should be etymologized as "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide". The second Europa is the daughter of Phoenix “Phoenician”, or his father Agenor "He Who Leads Men" and of Telephassa "She Who Illuminates Far, or From Afar". She personifies the transmission of animal husbandry from the Levant, Phoenicia to the Greeks. Her name should be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes” (cow). Zeus transformed into a bull in order to abduct her. Her brother Cadmus (of unknown etymology) received an oracle from Delphi to follow the first cow he would meet and to the place where she would lie down, there to found a city, Thebes. Cadmus is the father of Semele and the grandfather of Dionysus who as Zagreus was slain having taken the form of a bull. Zagreus himself is indeed horned and Semele-Thyone is "She Who Is Impetuous/Vehement". In the marriage of Cadmus to Harmonia, Goddess of fertility Demeter mated with Iasion “He Of Cure” and gave birth to Philomelus "He Who Loves The Farm Animals", patron of husbandry and agriculture. Cadmus is married to Harmonia because husbantry brings harmony. The name of Europa's other brother Cilix is etymologized as "He Who Has Twisted Horns". All the connections you've made with the various Earth Goddesses, as well as the non-Greek etymologies, are irrelevant. There is much more to it.

"... Europe is always an "idea", but never Africa or Asia" Where ever have you gotten such a weird idea? Asia and Africa are some of the most powerfully ideas in European culture. mainly because of the uter ignorance that european had about those places. And even after the age of exploration, those influences were amplified in an almost exponential way. Those "ideas and myths" have influence in every aspects of European views of the world since forever. I am doubting if you are European if can have such thoughts. Are from the US or something like that? We also have some "ideas" about those places.
The oldest, by far, civilisations known and proven today are on the lower Danube, mostly in current Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Serbia. Aprox 6000 B.C. Look for Cucuteni and Turdas-Vinca. Amazing arts and even a primitive form of writting, on Tartaria tablets, which is sustained by recent discovery. At least 13 layered large city walls burned successively. Some of the greek gods are of Tracian origin, much older.

The step herders had a very well established system of creating client states. It would make sence that they would have more of a DNA impact in lands that were more sparsely populated and why in those areas they developed more distinct sub groups. The whole time they create client states they mix in with those groups who they themselves move on to create more client states. So the mixing of eastern herders snowballs to the west each time becoming less esh and more whg. Not just conquest but adoption. God I love this subject

Why do you show maps of modern greece instead of the map of the greeks of the time? it's misleading as western Anatolia and southern Italy is a more relevant representation.
The quote from Aristotle is very interesting. They were aware that their level of organization was superior to other civilizations and could be applied on a wider scale. What also happened for a period in Alexander's empire and the states that formed from it, but especially became valid in the case of the Romans.
Why would you say it's superior necessarily? It can be argued both ways. The slavs arguably had a much more egalitarian and just democracy. Greeks had slavery. Aristotle himself owned 5 allegedly.
The democratic aspect is debatable, but the Greeks had both: an advanced civilization and a kind of democracy. They had a major influence on the Roman world and the modern world, which "borrowed" different aspects from the Greek system, and thus Aristotle's intuition came to life. The fact that sometimes in the past there was some kind of democratic organization will influence the progress of the modern age. The organization of the Slavs (and other similar people), on the other hand, allowed for a new beginning without slavery after the fall of the Roman Empire (slavery was also in decline at the end of the Empire). However, as their civilization advanced, they gradually lost their democratic society and fell into feudalism.
@@tudorm6838 it's not debatable really. It's well documented how the slavs governed themselves prior to formation of centralized medieval states. Very similar to the communal way of life of the tgracians who were arguably part of the same language family and likely closely related. You can see the thracian lands almost perfectly match the later lands inhabited by "slavs". Democracy was not invented by Greeks. Even American natives had very well developed democracies with parliaments believe it or not. Democracy is not rocket science.
@@thatisme3thatisme38 It is not something specific to the Slavs, many areas of the world went through a democratic phase at the beginning of human organization. This kind of organization did not survive the development of civilization and "evolved" towards slavery, military hierarchy, feudalism, or other forms in which the rich or the powerful had a greater say than the masses. It returned to democracy only in the modern era. The ancient Greeks had a limited democratic model, but one that was "documented", and then read for centuries and thus had influence over time.

I am Hellen, not Greek. And it's Hellas or Hellada, not Greece. No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. Ancient Greeks also lived in Africa, Libya, [ etc ]. Syracuse in Sicily was founded by Corinth, Ephesus in Turkey was founded by Athens, modern-day Naples in Italy, which was known as Neapolis in ancient times, settled by sailors from Rhodes. Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453. Any one can look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea. King Ptolemy II Philadelphus (309-246 BC) is said to have sent 500,000 scrolls as an objective for the library and Mark Antony gave Cleopatra over 200,000 scrolls for the library as a wedding gift, looted from the great Library of Pergamum that was an important ancient Greek city, located in Anatolia. The largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world were all about Asia and Africa and Europe and the Middle East. But the Romans and Germans, Turks, and British destroyed libraries. I'm Greek from Cyprus and Cyprus has been Greece for thousands of years. Always was, always will be. And Greece gave birth and raised Europe. Turkey and the Ottomans didn't even exist. Europe was named after the Greek Queen of Europe. The King & Queen of Europe are both Greek. You shouldn't approach this documentary, as history in the typical sense. Treat it as an interesting speculative documentary with some historical information thrown in. There's an intelligent documentary to be made about Origins of Europe and culture and this isn't it. No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. In the beginning...

Turdaș - Vinča Culture in Romania. The oldest civilizations in Europe were in the Balkans and on the territory of Romania. Somewhere between the 5th and 3rd millennia BC, there was a European culture that spread around the Danube River, on the territory of Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia, but obvious traces of it can be found throughout the Balkan Peninsula. It is about the Turdaș - Vinča culture. The name of the culture comes from the locality of Turdaș located in the central-eastern part of Hunedoara County in Romania. Zsófia Torma, the first female archaeologist from Transylvania, discovered here in the 19th century the material remains of the "Turdaș" culture, later known as the Vinča culture, from a suburb of the city of Belgrade. But, in Turdaș, the first female archaeologist from Transylvania, Zsófia Torma - anthropologist and paleontologist, brought to light the first artifacts of this Neolithic culture and presented them in scientific sessions at the European level. He discovered Neolithic dwellings in Turdaș and found several ceramic materials, tools, cult pieces and ornaments. Torma carried out most of his activity in Orăștie, where he also created a museum of archeology and ethnography. He also discovered signs of writing, which culminated in the discovery of the famous Tablets from Tartary in Transylvania - Romania, with pictographic writing, the first writing in the world over 7500 years ago. More than 700 identical signs were discovered all over the territory, so says the German paleolinguist Harald H aartmann it is a writing. Harald Haarmann: "The world's earliest known form of writing is the one from Tărtăria - Romania. The Danubian civilization is the first great civilization in history, thousands of years older even the Sumerian one."

All Europeans should be fully conscious and deeply proud of their ancient origins and their inspiring art, culture and architecture. Overall, Europeans themselves are often beautiful looking people. Even more significantly, as ancient writers pointed out, there is the deep rooted Western belief in personal freedom, which clearly hails from the proto-democratic cultures of the ancient Greeks and Latins, as well as amongst the Germanic tribes of Northern Europe.
By contrast the ancient empires of the Middle East did not take on board the concept of the freedom of the individual. Sadly, this deficit is surely evident to this day amongst the violent, repressive, impoverished and generally dysfunctional Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The Muslim conquest of these regions in the 7th century AD and the destruction of Greco-Roman and Christian (ie Western) culture has set back human freedom and accomplishment in these deeply unhappy areas over many centuries, right up to our own time.
This is another wonderful symposium from Fortress of Lugh, with beautiful images of Europe and Europeans.

Cyprus is European because it is Greek. So the culture, language, religion, is European. There is a turkish speaking muslim minority in the occupied zone, but it is just a small minority due to ottoman occupation of the island. And even then, those people used Greek to communicate.
Religiously, Albania and Bosnia have muslim majorities
Linguistically, the Turks hail from a similar place as the Finns, Estonians and Hungarians, the great Eurasian steppes.
Anatolia had always been considered part of the Christian world (the basis for Europe after the rise of Islam, and why Armenia and Georgia are considered European-ish), and with the rise of the Ottomans in the balkans the Ottomans once again became more "European" to the point they were treated as equals by the European powers during the age of Imperialismn an age where European powers saw the "orient" as backwards and inferior.
It is my view that Turkey should be welcomed in the EU some day, just like Armenia and Georgia.
Some day. NOT today. There are tons of problems in needs of fixing, just like in Ukraine, to meet EU quotas. Namely, Erdogan is a big problem because of his whole political stances of Turkish nationalism and anti-secularism
Until the decline of the Ottoman empire and the rise of Greek nationalism, Greeks called themselves "Roman". Much the same, until the fall of the Ottoman empire and the Turkish re-birth with Attaturk, the Turks of the empire called themselves "Roman"
I mention Attaturk and he is a core proponent of this idea that Turkey can very much fit in Europe. The problem is the opposite of Attaturk, the likes of Erdogan. Erdogan, who turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque and alienated his balkan neighbours by romanticising Ottoman hegemony over the region

Despite there being some awesome history documentaries on UA-cam this is the only one I could find that really explains who the first European people were
The latter part of this video was bringing up ideas similar to ideas that were widespread in the first part of the previous century, but that got entangled with a certain ideology that suddenly lost influence almost 80 years ago. Though it left behind some artifacts such as the words Caucasian being used to refer to Europeans.
Since then, many of these ideas have been more or less taboo. Instead of seing the spread of the Indo-European language as a result of violent conquest, historians and antropologists preferred to describe pre-historic hunter gatherers as mostly peaceful and attibute the spread of the spread of the language to cultural diffusion instead of ethnic conquest and migration.
Only in the last 10-15 years or so have we had the capacity to do the kind of DNA analysis that can give a precise description of the DNA composition of peoples from various areas of Europe, and those have largely confirmed the earlier assumptions that Indo-European migrations were quite violent in nature. In many places, especially in Northern Europe and Britain, virtually all pre-existing male bloodlines (y chromosomes) disappeared during the 3rd millenium BC (and 4th in some places), and were replaced by "steppe-people DNA". And in any given location, the disappearance was quite sudden, often only a couple of centuries.
Meanwhile, female bloodlines (mitochondrial DNA) survived to a much larger extent, usually with half or more of the population coming from local female lineages.
This paints a grizzly picture of invading bands of warriors invading a territory, killing (or at best enslaving) ALL males while taking the young females as wives. And this was not limited to isolated cases. They kept it going systematically for over a millenium, and spread in this manner from Ireland in the west to Myanmar in the east. Later "barbarian" conquerers, including the Vikings, Huns and even Mongols completely pale by comparison.
Definitely not the peaceful "Noble Savage" view of pre-history that has been popular for the last 80 years or so.

It is excellent analysis, not even in the soviet union would have thought that. Thanks in advance.
Greek here.
The name “Europa” can be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes”, or "She Who Sees Widely (far)", or "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide".
The first Europa is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. She personifies the Continent. Her sisters are Asia and Libya (Africa). Her name should be etymologized as "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide".
The second Europa is the daughter of Phoenix “Phoenician”, or his father Agenor "He Who Leads Men" and of Telephassa "She Who Illuminates Far, or From Afar". She personifies the transmission of animal husbandry from the Levant, Phoenicia to the Greeks. Her name should be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes” (cow). Zeus transformed into a bull in order to abduct her. Her brother Cadmus (of unknown etymology) received an oracle from Delphi to follow the first cow he would meet and to the place where she would lie down, there to found a city, Thebes. Cadmus is the father of Semele and the grandfather of Dionysus who as Zagreus was slain having taken the form of a bull. Zagreus himself is indeed horned and Semele-Thyone is "She Who Is Impetuous/Vehement". In the marriage of Cadmus to Harmonia, Goddess of fertility Demeter mated with Iasion “He Of Cure” and gave birth to Philomelus "He Who Loves The Farm Animals", patron of husbandry and agriculture. Cadmus is married to Harmonia because husbantry brings harmony. The name of Europa's other brother Cilix is etymologized as "He Who Has Twisted Horns".
All the connections you've made with the various Earth Goddesses, as well as the non-Greek etymologies, are irrelevant. There is much more to it.

"... Europe is always an "idea", but never Africa or Asia"
Where ever have you gotten such a weird idea?
Asia and Africa are some of the most powerfully ideas in European culture. mainly because of the uter ignorance that european had about those places. And even after the age of exploration, those influences were amplified in an almost exponential way.
Those "ideas and myths" have influence in every aspects of European views of the world since forever.

The step herders had a very well established system of creating client states. It would make sence that they would have more of a DNA impact in lands that were more sparsely populated and why in those areas they developed more distinct sub groups. The whole time they create client states they mix in with those groups who they themselves move on to create more client states. So the mixing of eastern herders snowballs to the west each time becoming less esh and more whg. Not just conquest but adoption. God I love this subject

The quote from Aristotle is very interesting. They were aware that their level of organization was superior to other civilizations and could be applied on a wider scale. What also happened for a period in Alexander's empire and the states that formed from it, but especially became valid in the case of the Romans.
Why would you say it's superior necessarily? It can be argued both ways. The slavs arguably had a much more egalitarian and just democracy. Greeks had slavery. Aristotle himself owned 5 allegedly.
The democratic aspect is debatable, but the Greeks had both: an advanced civilization and a kind of democracy. They had a major influence on the Roman world and the modern world, which "borrowed" different aspects from the Greek system, and thus Aristotle's intuition came to life. The fact that sometimes in the past there was some kind of democratic organization will influence the progress of the modern age. The organization of the Slavs (and other similar people), on the other hand, allowed for a new beginning without slavery after the fall of the Roman Empire (slavery was also in decline at the end of the Empire). However, as their civilization advanced, they gradually lost their democratic society and fell into feudalism.
@@tudorm6838 it's not debatable really. It's well documented how the slavs governed themselves prior to formation of centralized medieval states. Very similar to the communal way of life of the tgracians who were arguably part of the same language family and likely closely related. You can see the thracian lands almost perfectly match the later lands inhabited by "slavs".
Democracy was not invented by Greeks. Even American natives had very well developed democracies with parliaments believe it or not. Democracy is not rocket science.
@@thatisme3thatisme38 It is not something specific to the Slavs, many areas of the world went through a democratic phase at the beginning of human organization.
This kind of organization did not survive the development of civilization and "evolved" towards slavery, military hierarchy, feudalism, or other forms in which the rich or the powerful had a greater say than the masses. It returned to democracy only in the modern era. The ancient Greeks had a limited democratic model, but one that was "documented", and then read for centuries and thus had influence over time.

Thank you for this video.
I love it and get a kick when you talk about "like a diamond" lol. Shine bright lyko-dimon
Great video
note the similar 'Eurynome', another daughter of tethys and the heoine of an ophic creation myth described by robert graves, which is taken to mean 'wide wanderer'. these two, europe / eurynome may describe two aspects of the divine (that which is), the one describing its face first encountered and the latter (wide wandering) the capacity of the divine to act according to its own whim and under its own impetus.
Thank you for the information in this video
Great 👍
Fascinating
Excellent recap of europe origins, could you provide your sources on the greek writings you mentioned? thanks

I am Hellen, not Greek. And it's Hellas or Hellada, not Greece. No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit.
Ancient Greeks also lived in Africa, Libya, [ etc ]. Syracuse in Sicily was founded by Corinth, Ephesus in Turkey was founded by Athens, modern-day Naples in Italy, which was known as Neapolis in ancient times, settled by sailors from Rhodes. Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453. Any one can look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea.
King Ptolemy II Philadelphus (309-246 BC) is said to have sent 500,000 scrolls as an objective for the library and Mark Antony gave Cleopatra over 200,000 scrolls for the library as a wedding gift, looted from the great Library of Pergamum that was an important ancient Greek city, located in Anatolia. The largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world were all about Asia and Africa and Europe and the Middle East. But the Romans and Germans, Turks, and British destroyed libraries.
I'm Greek from Cyprus and Cyprus has been Greece for thousands of years. Always was, always will be. And Greece gave birth and raised Europe. Turkey and the Ottomans didn't even exist. Europe was named after the Greek Queen of Europe. The King & Queen of Europe are both Greek. You shouldn't approach this documentary, as history in the typical sense. Treat it as an interesting speculative documentary with some historical information thrown in. There's an intelligent documentary to be made about Origins of Europe and culture and this isn't it.
No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit.
In the beginning... God created the Earth, and in the light blue waters, put a small ship to travel forever, in order not only to give birth but also to transfer great ideas all over the world ...
He called that ship...HELLAS! 🐬
The ancient Greeks used the name "Italia" In addition to the "Greek Italy" and it was Ulfilas, a Greek Who Created the Early German Alphabet.
The Greeks created it, the Germans copy it, and the English exploit it. 😅

Why don't you solve your national identity crisis first and start believing you are something important later?
And then Rome conquered Greece and burnt Corinth to the ground
Latins 1 - Greeks 0
@@miguelpadeiro762 Between Rome and Greece. The Greek history is the highest "likeability"...
The Greek language still exist today. But that filthy Pig Latin language and Rome was burnt to the ground by the Germans.
And Corinth still exist. 🏛You should go, you might learn something about history.
Corinth participated in the Persian Wars and Peloponnesian War as an ally of Sparta. The Romans didn't even exist.
And when Rome conquered Greece, Greece conquered Rome, indeed. Because, the Romans copied everything Greek, even the Gods.
Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453.
Plus: The Hellenes were the first people to define themselves as "western" as opposed to "eastern".( Never forget that).
Greece gave birth and raised Europe.
The largest Empire in History is Alexander the Great. The ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. The Romans didn't even exist.😆😅🤣😂
It was the Greeks who First used the name "Italia" In addition to the "Greek Italy" and it was Ulfilas, a Greek Who Created the Early German Alphabet.
Greek has been spoken in the Greek peninsula and the Mediterranean islands for more than 4000 years.
Greeks are unique though, in culture, language, history, and people. While other European languages are generally derivatives and off-shoots of other languages.
The Greek language is derived from NOTHING ELSE! It stands alone! As a pearl of European (and world) languages. Malista!
So yeah. The Greeks created it, the Romans copy it, the Germans also copy it, and the English exploit it. 😅
And it's important to remember that in history. The Greeks Single handedly defeated Italians in WW2.
Greece was the First European Country to defeat the Axis powers.
If you want to learn about the Western Civilisation. You must learn Greek.
If you want to speak to the European Gods. You must learn Greek.
Rome Italy and European countries are little league when you compare Europe with Greece in history.

How can you possibly resist clicking this video? 😂
The word Europe Ευρώπη, means the woman with wide vision or the woman that can see everything. Euris, ευρύς in Greek means wide, and -ωπή from the verb οπέω opèo or opò meaning to see and it refers to the eye socket.
Europe(Evropi) Hellas everywhere!
You and Gnostic informant are on fire
Pretty sure my Gaelic family says Europe was named after Epona.
That's an interesting speculation.
Lol what would the Gaels know? They were in the backwaters, even the Romans couldn't be bothered to settle amongst them.
LOTS OF THANKS TO GREEKS , FOR WRITTING DOWN AND RECORDING SO MANY ASPECTS OF PEOPLE AND SIENCE , AT THEIR TIME AND UP TO 1453 A.D..
IMAGINE HOW MORE ADVANCED OUR WORLD COULD HAVE BEEN IF THE CHRISTIANS DIDN'T BURN THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA .
AT HELENIST TIMES , GREEKS WERE ABOUT TO INVENT THE STEAM ENGINE .
My Ancestry DNA report reflects much of what the video points out: my family is from Southern Italy. There is Western Hunter Gatherer DNA and Neolithic DNA likely from Anatolia or northern Syria. But no R1b or other Indo-European DNA.
Which dna service tells you which haplogroups you are? Mine only said I am 100% northwestern European. Mainly English Irish Scandinavian and broad Western European

Il sud italia non è una macroregione. ogni regione ha subito dominazioni diverse. idem per il nord.

I believe it was well known that the Persians and Greeks were cousins... Xerxes used that argument to appeal to the Athens. Half the Greek city states fought for Xerxes, I imagine some of them were won over by this argument.
🎉I love your work @fortress of lugh . I would appreciate if you could put the proper nouns on screen when first mentioned and if relevant the local script or name if different from English. Cheers. Keep being awesome!
The Greeks separated Europe from Asia as separate continent.Also The Greeks set the first rules for harmony and beauty.For the Greeks the most handsome man was Adonis with the perfectly trained body , and Apollo the God of Sun , with harmonious face and bright blond hair.
Teoretically, we could give up the 6-7 continent system because it was developed from the 3 continents perceived by the greeks, which only encompasses N Africa, S Europe and Asia(made of Anatolia, Central and South)
Europe is the leader of the world.
It can't even lead itself.
Don't lump as Protestants Together With You Papist Idolaters!
Very interesting 👌

@iwantmoney5672pelasguans are one of Greek tribes
0@@innosanto false...first of all we don't even know if they existed the second if they really existed as the hellenes wrote then they were the original inhabitants of the balkans...in a nutshell we are talking about mythology and not about historical facts even the author of the video spoke more about mythology
@@innosanto btw in the balkans there never was a country an ethnicity a nation ect called greece or greeks before the 19 century the author of the video mentioned Aristotle forgetting that the term graikhos is a term of illyrian origin used by the illyrians for a small doric tribe that lived next to them... ("Meteorologica" I.xiv)
@lagjescuni5482 You Albanians play with words for support of your modern nationalistic agenda. In ancient times the hellenic city-states speak various forms of ancient Greek language and absolutely not illyrian language. Ofc albanians spitting lies in youtube's comment section in various videos will not change reality.
@@popeye1897 but you drank something strong or what .why you talk in this strange way?? who ever said that Hellenes spoke in Albanian.(illyrian)...???
Thank you very much!🌺🌺🌺
Europe included Anatolia up to the point that Turks from central asia moved central asian culture to the area.
Bur armenia Georgia and Cyprus are part of the prior group, prior to that move
anatolian turks now are mostly related to their ancestors
Wow this was done well.
Very interesting I would like to learn more about this is there a book you would recommend or a website?
The ancient people of Modern day Balkans had nothing to do with the greek newcomers from the Levant, Egypt and Anatolia..
The dark complection greeks were migrants into the proto-slavic pelasgian world of the ancient Balkans !
Furthermore many ancient things in the Balkans are falsley ascribed as greek
to be fair Eurasia is technically 1 continent
Turdaș - Vinča Culture in Romania.
The oldest civilizations in Europe were in the Balkans and on the territory of Romania.
Somewhere between the 5th and 3rd millennia BC, there was a European culture that spread around the Danube River, on the territory of Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia, but obvious traces of it can be found throughout the Balkan Peninsula. It is about the Turdaș - Vinča culture.
The name of the culture comes from the locality of Turdaș located in the central-eastern part of Hunedoara County in Romania.
Zsófia Torma, the first female archaeologist from Transylvania, discovered here in the 19th century the material remains of the "Turdaș" culture, later known as the Vinča culture, from a suburb of the city of Belgrade. But, in Turdaș, the first female archaeologist from Transylvania, Zsófia Torma - anthropologist and paleontologist, brought to light the first artifacts of this Neolithic culture and presented them in scientific sessions at the European level. He discovered Neolithic dwellings in Turdaș and found several ceramic materials, tools, cult pieces and ornaments. Torma carried out most of his activity in Orăștie, where he also created a museum of archeology and ethnography. He also discovered signs of writing, which culminated in the discovery of the famous Tablets from Tartary in Transylvania - Romania, with pictographic writing, the first writing in the world over 7500 years ago. More than 700 identical signs were discovered all over the territory, so says the German paleolinguist Harald H aartmann it is a writing. Harald Haarmann: "The world's earliest known form of writing is the one from Tărtăria - Romania. The Danubian civilization is the first great civilization in history, thousands of years older even the Sumerian one."
