      Great video mate!
      I have an suggestion to make which may surprises you. When we listen to ppl we mainly look in their eye area (eyes us brows) Your Brows are unfortunately barely visible, it might aid your explanatory style of vid. If you get some minoxidil to grow them thick and dye them to the color of your beard - That would enhance this part of the face and make it easier for your audience on subconscious level to follow. I know it's sounds vain or superficial but it has real benefits especially if a lot of ppl see your face.
      Cheers I hope your channel will grow more. Like your style of presentation.

    The 1st Millennium AD was truly the Germanic Millennium. They halted Roman territorial advance at the Rhine river - arguably beating the world's premier superpower. Not just that, but they would go on to completely overthrow them. And just a few centuries later, the Vikings would sweep in and connect two hemispheres centuries before Columbus, as well as establish Russia, which would become the single largest country on earth.

    The Germanic tribes are often desribed as having blonde hair. But it is well-documented that the Germanic tribe that destroyed the Roman Legions at the Battle of the Teutburg Forest had red hair. I suppose many of these "Germans"were fair-haired, but red hair is more strikingly obvious and this would catch the attention of the enemy! Also, one sees many dark-haired Germans, particularly in the South of Germany, but they rarely get a mention...and while I am here, a lot of Danes and Dutch people seem to have red hair. So, it's not just the Scots and the Irish! And the English have a fair number of red-heads... the Danish connection!

    • @BillyThetit
      @BillyThetit Місяць тому

      This is not well "well-documented" at all. The Roman authors didn't talk about hair colour much, and the Germanic tribes themselves were illiterate and didn't write anything at the time. Real red hair is very rare in Scandinavia today, reddish blond is however quite common. Norway and especially Iceland have more redheads because of import of Irish or Scottish people during the Viking age (slavery).

    • @Jezza-m5k
      @Jezza-m5k Місяць тому +3

      @BillyThetit It isn't as rare as you obviously think. Red-heads are all over Europe... and not just the "strawberry blonde" variety. I'm in a Black Metal band... travel all over Northern Europe... Danes, Dutch, Germans, Swedes et al. Redheads are everywhere. In fact, blonde hair - and I don't mean the mousey/light brown that dark haired people call "blonde" - is rarer than people think...what with hair dye and everything. And I have often noticed that very blonde people will often have a red-haired, brother or sister, etc. Tacitus discussing the Germans mentions red-haired Germans... and many historians in the ancient world mentioned blonde-haired and red-haired Germans. Study a little more history...

    The Germanic tribes were originally an Aryan tribe that branched away from what would become the Jats. They were predominately black haired but the northern climate has stripped their bodies of melanin, leading to higher incidence of blue eyes, grey eyes, blond hair, etc.

      This is pure fantasy. What are "Aryans", what are "Jats" (never heard of those) ? Better study some real history. The only people called "Aryans" who are known from actual history lived in India 4000 years ago. Calling some Germanic / European peoples "Aryans" was pseudo-historic BS invented by the Nazis.

    The origins of the Goths is now well known:
    Stolarek et al. (2023) and Antonio et al. (2022) both sequenced genomes from the Wielbark culture Goths including samples from multiple sites all over the territory of the Wielbark culture in large numbers. The results are in alignment with archaeological findings, burial practices, isotop analysis etc All strongly suggesting that the Wielbark culture formed through migration from Southern Scandinavia. A large majority of the Wielbark culture samples autosomally carry predominantly Scandinavian Y-DNA haplogroups. The most common Y-DNA haplogroup among the Wielbark individuals was Y-DNA haplogroup I1-M253, characteristic of the Nordic Bronze Age in Southern Scandinavia,

      the Croats Serbs and Slovenes I am pretty sure were R1a peoples - so it's really a misnomer to call that region Croatia - it should be called Croatian Damatia or Dacia (not sure which) -
      I watched a Swedish video of a band where it sounded a bit 'un European' - like I could see the Balkan connection - look at old pictures of Sweden and Norway - they dress a bit different

      The Catholic Church was Rome's final curse against the Germanic peoples. The forced conversions of Germanic derived nations into Catholicism drove a wedge between these nations and the root Germanic population that still followed the Old Ways.
      Rome itself was doomed the minute that violent religious zealots from the Middle East took control of their society. After the forced conversions of the pagan Roman population by Catholic emperors, Rome began to decline and only lasted another 2 centuries.

      There was a study conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Granada, Spain. On eye colour of Spaniards.
      The full title of the study is "Iris colour: validation of a new classification and distribution in a Spanish population-based sample."
      Here are the complete results of the study.
      28.5% of Spaniards have Brown eyes.
      52.2% have Hazel-Green eyes.
      16.29% have Blue--Grey eyes.

      They say that like 75% of the world population has brown eye's. That's not true the majority of the world population (non Caucasian) has really dark brown eyes where the iris is barely distinguishable from the pupil.
      Proven by eye colour polls on UA-cam. Last one I voted in had around 77,000 votes.
      Black 75%
      Brown 10%
      Blue 5%
      Green 5%
      So the majority of people pick black when they have the option to pick brown. Why? because their eyes are really dark and look black. Just like hair colour. So really dark brown eyes shouldn't be in the same category as brown and light brown eyes.
      I'm Spaniard of Galician heritage, I have brown eyes but when I look in the mirror I can see the pattern in my iris, and there's a dark ring around the perimeter of my iris. More than half the people on both sides of my have either Blue, Green or Hazel eyes. One of my brothers has light green eyes. My other brother has Amber eyes like my father. My maternal grandmother had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

    The idea that peoples of the past had more uniform and stereotyped appearances than modern peoples is just plain wrong. The English of today have very significant amounts of North Sea Germanic ancestry, but they are overwhelmingly heterogeneous in appearance, and are characteristically brown-haired in the main - blond and red hair being in a definite minority (especially fast blonds, blonds that remain blond into adulthood). My ancestry derives largely from the Danelaw area of England (especially Yorkshire and Lancashire). My Y haplotype is R-Z19, a sub-group of R-U106, that originated in Southern Scandinavia in the Nordic Bronze Age. My DNA is 67% closer to ancient DNA from Viking Age burial remains than those of other modern people, and is closest to Viking Age remains from Denmark and Sweden. I was very blond as a small child, but this darkened to a deep mid-brown by my teenage years, I have very dark hazel eyes. My Germanic ancestry seems quite strong, but my appearance is nothing like the stereotype you present.

      Probably not. Genetic variation originates in populations, but they probably do not correspond to these much later labels from the last 3,000 years or so such as Celt or German. Most of these mutations go back much further. Many of the Vikings had brown eyes, but did have genetic mutations for dealing with local endoparasites in Scandinvia for example.

    Ancient people had no conception of race or nationality. They grouped together in pursuit of common material interest, not their history or complexion, and developed new languages to bridge, not propagate, their cultural differences. They were not inbred: genetic investigation of ancient "vikings", "normans", "celts" etc consistently finds mongrel genetics. Thus every "tribe" was genetically mixed (except in very extreme cases of geographical isolation) and no tribal label is truly ancient. Using "haplogroups" to try and prove racial continuity is tautological - because haplogroups are defined in the first place as gene clusters that are exceptional for being persistent over time. Tribes were usually named by others after the languages they spoke, thus "the Franks" were anybody who spoke Frankish and the "Angles" was anybody who spoke Anglish. The "Scots" are a bit of an anomaly, considering the ancestral language of most of todays "Scots" was English. Edinburgh was the first major city in Britain where English is recorded, having been adopted in the course of its Baltic maritime trade. I suspect the word "Scot" was extended to anyone from the northwest who couldn't be understood by their neighbours. Just saying.
