      What are you sink about Russians? Russians have a R1a haplogroup. The highest caste of India, the Brahmans, who, according to the giving, were the Aryans, also had haplogroup R1a. Your thoughts on this?

      + Survive the Jive About origins of wheel:
      Döñgelek (Kaz and Kyr): from verb döñgelenu (turn).
      Verb Döñgelek was formed by combining words domalau (roll) and kelu (to come/arrive).
      Döñgelek/Wheel/Koleso
      Word Döñgelek describes exactly what a wheel does: it rolls and comes/arrives.
      Also it contains letters G, E, L some of which appear in English “wheel" and Russian “koleso”. When forming Russian KOLESO, “g” shifted to “k”. It is surprising, because originally in Kazakh there was “k” (in kelu (to come/arrive) and then it shifted to “g” to harmonize.
      So, it seems we found the origins of Eurasian wheel.
      By the way, the origins of English “ride” are in the Steppe too. Kazakh for “ride” is “aydau”.

    I'm Italian from Tuscany, and although all of my 8 great-grandparents were from Tuscany, my DNA admixture scan through GEDmatch came out with some surprising results. It was closer to the average Central European than I expected. Only 45% or so was ENF. Maybe it's because my mother's family probably had older Germanic origins, since their surname sounds like an Italianization of a German word. Now I understand why, when I was in the US, everybody thought I was from the Netherlands or France or something like that.
    It's interesting and fascinating to find out something about our ancient bloodline, but one must always remember that, you know, people moved A LOT across the continent since then, and interbred AF. Otherwise you wouldn't have those blonde-haired blue-eyed Sicilians, probably descending from Normans that arrived there around year 1000 CE. They're not common, but they're there.

My great grandfather was blonde hair, blue eyed with a very light complexion but he was only like 5'6" so he was short like a lot of South Italians.

      Women like horses because they have gib bix. If western women were drawn to ‘nice cars,’ however, one would naturally expect to find more women of means driving sports cars and a greater general knowledge of/appreciation for cars amongst females. We don’t see that. What we do see are older men of humble endowment thinking that possession of vehicles and commodities of this sort ‘attract’ women. The comical error of such American consumerist thinking is difficult to overstate. Try cleaning yourself up, working out, projecting confidence in your demeanor, and showing women a fun time. Convey whatever wealth you have in a humble manner (women interested in such things will pick up on that no matter how subtle the cues are).

    They out- performed the other groups, because of war and milk.
    milk . They had the enzime to digest milk. 1 Litre of milk is 670 calories. By becoming yogurt, the bacteria eat lactose...meaning that the calories decrease..but digestiability increase.
    So proto-indo-europeans children had better nutrion...meaning just by drinking 2 litre of milk per day..they had the necesary calories. Nobody could drink milk...but farmers could consume yogurt...and cheese ( they lost some of the calories in the process ) - the hunters-gathereres not even that.
    So they had a evolution advantage - of having a grass-converter (livestock ) into calories...with highest efficiency possible for themself.
    Livestock in agricultural societys was limited a resurces that could not feed 10.000 of people( a few cows here and there ) . But for PIE, livestock was able to feed a population on the move that was in constant war..with a better outcome regarding drought and soil depletion, and with the posibility to consume milk they got the maximum from it...( calories wise )
    They probably had 8 -10 children per women and expanded at such a major ratio, waged war and dominated everyone that they encontered. By 10-15 generations they would have outbreed, killed and intermaried with everyone.
    War was the factor that killed ( and maybe other ecological factors ) : Old Europe / Cututeni Civilization - and with the colapse of the agrarian civilization also the population that could offer resistance decresed.
    Eventualy they intermingled and became the ancient populations that we know today. ( celts, latins, germans, thacians...etc ).

      Horse milk and meat. And Kazakhs still eat horse meat and drink horse milk. There is an archeological site of so called Botai Culture in Norhern Kazakhstan where the remains of domesticated horses were found. Only of horses, not other domesticated animals. Also in pottery there were found the residue of horse milk. The Botai Culture dates 5000 years old.
      Horse was and is the fastest moving domesticated animal. So those who domesticated the horse and consumed its meat and milk could move faster than those who had other domesticated animals.

      A vastly oversimplified and sloppy presentation. Some good ideas, but you need to think them through and involve a wider set of contributions, including archaeology, genetics, culture, etc. How did horses contribute? Are you much dependent on cattle, or were horses a multi-source of power, food, prestige and replacement? Are there other factors equal to your "lactose" theory?

      But either way, I'm of English ancestry and am no more pure "yamnaya" than this Sinhalese man, not that yamnaya genetic contribution matters; you're a historylet.

    With the afterlife, like the cycle of time, your soul get reincarnated after being in the underworld for some time (i.e. metempsychosis). And yes, both the bear, and the wolf, in Indo-European society were referred to by euphorisms because they believed if you said their names the animal would come after you. This also explains why Vikings raided while wearing the skin of a bear and acted like a bear. It was a way to overcome that fear. I am devoted to worshiping the Indo-European gods in their proto-form. Practices have been reconstructed to practice Proto-Indo-European religion. As for the creation myth, I have studied it, and made it poetic much like to that to the style of Ovid.

And while nobody is suggesting that they're identical, the fact that they serve as a joint guide to the early belief systems is nonetheless amazing. While those two parts of the world might seem fairly remote, this video, among other things, clarifies why certain parts of the world are more closely related than what might otherwise be thought.

    Indo Europeans had a military advantage due to their larger tribal networks derived from a more mobile lifestyle developed in the western steppes.

    Also, if you want traces of the I-E creation myth and cattle, there is a Perun myth about his cattle being stolen by Veles which he then goes to retrieve because he is a warrior god who is not to be messed with, and since Veles is a shapeshifter who can take animal forms he causes trouble. There is also a story about Perun killing a giant serpent in the mountains which is related as well. But you probably know that because Thor does the same thing.
    Another interesting fact is the Vales is also called ''skotiyi bog/stočni bog'' meaning the ''cattle god'', and his name is related linguistically to Völsi, the Nordic fertility, phallus cult which I believe is also related to cattle and horses.

      Two almost same religions...but in Slaws we have AllGod or Svarog. Svarog is the supreme incorporeal god, the primordial creator of the bright sky under whose roof "everything is born and happens." He is the forefather of the earth and every "kind and fruit", that is, everything on earth, but also the creator of the entire universe. This god was considered by all Slavs to be "full of glory and divinity" because he governs the sky that is above and beyond everything, yet includes everything. Svarog sleeps and in his sleep he created this world which he entrusted to Perun and the other gods to guard and keep the world. He cannot directly affect the physical, material environment he dreams of, but he can therefore influence the will of the other gods, and this is where his influence is enormous. His awakening will mark the end of the world. Alternative names: Rod and Usud. Ragnarok.

    I liked watching your video very much! It points out many interesting aspects in my own language, which is Czech. I know that there is some recent esoteric-like movement around Slavic culture, but fact is, that Slavic languages preserved many interesting contexts from the past. You mentioned "bear" in Russian. In Czech it's the same- "medvěd" which actually mean "honey-knower". The root "věd" is very widesperad and important in Slavic languages with numerous connections. Czech language as an example-
    Vědět (arch. věděti) - to know
    Věda - science (see sanskrit "veda" - knowledge)
    Vědění - knowledge
    Vědomí - consciousness
    Vědma - she enchanter, fortune teller (someone who 'knows' in spiritual sense)
    . . . and many other words delivered from this root "ved" which seems to be proto IE. See for example famous celtic druids originating from *dru-wid - "tree-knowers" (in current Czech it would be "dře-věd" 😃 ). Although the Baltic languages are more archaic members of Balto-Slavic language branch, the Slavic ones preserved so much context and it makes them fun to learn - unlike languages with many loanwords you don't need to get explanation to every word, because you can trace their meaning by their context.
    Cheers and keep going! 😃

    Re: "tewteh" or "people" survives in the Irish word "tuatha" meaning "tribe" or "people." Famously, the Irish pantheon is called Tuatha Dé Danaan, or the tribe of the goddess Danú. Her name is cognate with dána meaning "art" and may also be related to the English word "dawn," indicating the basic sun-moon-stars consciousness that prompts many religions.

      Kuno Meyers worked on Germanic-Celtic connections before his work was interrupted by the World Wars. The sounds "th" and "d" are approximations of each other and give rise to "deus" and "theus" for example. It makes sense that "deutsch" and "tuatha" are connected. The connection of "germaine" and "German" or "frank" and "French" indicates to me a tendency whereby a language was once a sort of priesthood. Priests often call their association "bright ones" or "illuminated" or "truth seekers" or some such variation. The Irish for example refer to an "iris" and Gael means "glow" or "brightness." The Scots are named for "scoth" or "blossom" in Gaelic.

    I would like to hear your thoughts on the Basque people. Why are they so different linguistically from other Europeans? Also, what happened to the pre Celtic people of Britain that built Stonehenge? How much of their DNA is in modern Brits? Thanks for your videos.

    • @Wowzersdude-k5c
      @Wowzersdude-k5c 7 років тому +57

      The Basque language is a relic and language isolate from the Neolithic (before the Indo-European invasions). However, the Basques are mostly R1b on the male side, which is an Indo-European marker, but for some reason they retained their old Neolithic language. It is rare for the females of a tribe to retain their native language when dominated by foreign males, but it is not unheard of. Why exactly the Basque language survived after being dominated by IE males is unknown. Many theories out there.
      As for Britain, we know that Stonehenge is about 4,000 years old (this is the estimate most scholars seem to agree on today). Stonehenge is similar to other megalithic monuments built all over Western Europe at the time which implies a cultural continuity throughout western Europe. In other words, the people of Stonehenge Britain were probably very closely related to people all over Western Europe (not just culturally, but genetically).
      A paper was published just a month or so ago focusing on the genetics of the Bell Beaker people of Central and Western Europe and how they fit into the demographics of Europe. The Bell Beaker people were prominent in Europe starting about 2700 BCE and disappeared in about 1800 BCE. Their culture was prominent in Britain just as it was on the continent. The question this paper wanted to answer was who were the Bell Beakers genetically?Were they Neolithic farmers or Yamnaya (Indo-European) or some combination of both? It turns out they were mostly Yamnaya (Steppe) according to DNA (and they sampled almost 100 ancient skeletons). I will quote you a portion of the abstract of the paper:
      "However, human migration did have an important role in the further dissemination of the Beaker Complex, which we document most clearly in Britain using data from 80 newly reported individuals dating to 3900-1200 BCE. British Neolithic farmers were genetically similar to contemporary populations in continental Europe and in particular to Neolithic Iberians, suggesting that a portion of the farmer ancestry in Britain came from the Mediterranean rather than the Danubian route of farming expansion. Beginning with the Beaker period, and continuing through the Bronze Age, all British individuals harboured high proportions of Steppe ancestry and were genetically closely related to Beaker-associated individuals from the Lower Rhine area. We use these observations to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was mediated by migration from the continent that replaced >90% of Britain's Neolithic gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the process that brought Steppe ancestry into central and northern Europe 400 years earlier."
      What this is saying is that Britain PRIOR to the Bell Beakers was mostly of Neolithic farmer heritage, similar to most of continental Europe (especially Iberia). However, when the Beakers came in, they replaced 90% of the British gene pool in only a few hundred years. This is astounding, yet DNA doesn't lie.
      As for Stonehenge, I suspect it was built just before the Steppic (IE) invasions into Britain. Why? Because the Yamnaya people never built megaliths on the Steppes or anywhere in Eastern Europe. This appears to be wholly a Neolithic farmer phenomenon. However, the Bell Beakers were already in Britain at the time Stonehenge was supposedly built, so either the dating of Stonehenge is wrong OR the Bell Beakers adopted some of the cultural practices of the native Neolithic Brits.

      Not originally they weren't. In original PIE. The creation goddess was intimately connected with the bull of earth, but before she was a multi faceted sky goddess. Many iterations from Minoan/Sumer/Egyptian/Hindu/Armenian/Greece all have a Divine Twin "Hint" Where the Male Solar God, had a female aspect derived from Ashtar. Where we get "East". Where the sun rose. Hausea Goddess of the dawn. Was the Diwa/Daughter of Diwa-Pater (Sky Father). 4000 years ago this transformed PARA (Father OF Sun) to Piece of light. As in Child of. And the sun instead of being the child of the sky god, became The "FACE OF" or "KA" "QA" To emit. Like "Paravati" the female counterpart of Shiva, came to be known as "Piece of the mountain", but originally her name meant more like "gift of the father". Hindu isn't the origin. The origin is almost 10,000 years old. Sumer is next, then the Indus Valley, Then Asia, Egypt, and The pre Cycladic, Minoans/Greeks/ Phoenicians/Scythians, The Russians/The Celts. They were global travelers. The way these ancient people describe their gods as Tall/ lighter skinned/Blue eyes/ Red or blonde hair/beard. The indo-Europeans were Cro-Magnon hybrids. Who mated with and taught the Hindus, Natives and Buddhists. About all these things. There are thousands of year old Buddhist caves and scrolls that have Buddhist forefathers depicted on the walls. They've been axed, shot at, and tried to be scraped away. They show these forefathers as Red Haired Scythians/ With blue grey eyes. Atilla the Hun was described as red bearded with Grey eyes. His mother was said to be visited, by a giant blonde haired grey eyed man on a white horse who fathered Atilla. The Phoenicians (Phoenix people/red people/Wise people) wore shining armor, and had white horses and carts. The Vedas (i believe?) describe their god returning on a white horse to cleanse the land. We have pyramids in china where Tall blonde European mummies were found. We have the same things (almost 14,000 years old) in America. They are found near caves/mounds/walls where early sanskrit has been found. The mummies however turn out to be Caucasian.

    We really have neglected our natural habitats, it's a bloody shame.
    I wonder if their respect for these Animals stems from a purely survivalist intent or a respect for their aspects, which would tie them to the divine. I mean, surely if you have a God that represents motherhood, and you kill a mother bear, exemplifying the virtue of motherhood that that God also represents, that would be greatly endangering the Mothers of your tribe by angering this God.
    They probably just didn't want to get eaten, but its fun to play around with these ideas.
    Also, on cycles, the same concept applies here in the Welsh Celtic cultures, which have a huge theme of death being a means of rebirth, or transformation, which is reflected in our poems and legends. The more fatalistic Abrahamic view of time being one straight line of beginning and end I find is much less appealing than the ancient view of time being circular.
    A lot of our art is circular as well, and usually conotates not only cycles, but also trifectas and dualistic concepts, such as the sun and moon, the land and sky, the body mind and soul, Birth life and death etc. Interlinking concepts plays a large role in Welsh spirituality, I don't know if this is shared in other parts of Europe, I know Ireland and Scotland also share this love of connections between facets of reality.

    It is ironic to think that it is a Balt woman who will have revived the Yamnaya when we know that the Balt peoples are precisely those who have best preserved the Indo-European heritage.

    Would love to see you do a video on the r1b and r1a haplogroup division that causes much autistic screeching in our circles. Would like to see how you think it correlates with Aryan people's and whether r1b has a claim to Aryan status or not. I havnt seen anyone tackle this properly and I believe you are the man for the task

    • @swevixeh
      @swevixeh 7 років тому +6

      R1b does have a claim to proto-Aryan status (and a strong one at that). It was present in both the early PIE Samara culture and in the late PIE Yamnaya culture. Check out this paper (Haak et al. 2015, "Massive migration from the steppe is a source for Indo-European languages in Europe"):
      biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/02/10/013433
      It took a long time before this conclusion was reached (or, rather, before the evidence was uncovered). 15 years ago, it was believed to have been natively ice age western European. 5 years ago, it was believed to be a mediterranean late Neolithic farmer lineage.
      Every subclade within R1b originated in the steppes. A recent study (Mathieson et al. 2017) found R1b-V88, the earliest branch to split off from R1b, in a man from Mesolithic Ukraine. Today, this lineage is almost exclusively found in Central Africans, meaning that ancient steppe tribes migrated all the way to subsaharan Africa. It bears mentioning that this man was overall very genetically similar to the EHG ancestors of the proto-Indo-Europeans, who lived in the same area.

      So it's miscegenated immigrants of near Eastern Descent that you're claiming as Aryan.

      Saxon 4: Hm strange argument you have because the ships looks like early dragonships both at the Nordic petroglyphs from the nordic bronze age and at the Mycenaean Greece vases. The amber from the Greeks elites graves comes from the Baltic sea plus you have 2 Omega letters depicted in the Kingsgrave in Kivik here in Sweden from 1700 bc about 900 years before the Greeks alphabet first came in use. The ancient Greeks also had contact with the Hyperboreans that lived far in the north there the sun never went down. Just as the sun never goes down up here during midsummer.
      According the ancient Greeks themself they came with boats from the north when they first arrived to Greece.

      How am I a cultural marxist if I care about my Europe ?? You should look up that word. Listen mate you need to give credit where it is due. The romans did have dark hair/dark eyes,and they accomplished alot. Handle it. There are two theories to this subject,and that is one side says they were dark haired and one says blonde haired. Both opinions are 50/50. Why would there be a majority of blondes in Rome when Rome is in the Meditt ? I would say more dark haired people were what made up the Romans. Also I am no cultural marxist because I care about all Europeans. I did marry a girl from Sweden so no I am not against nordics or nordic culture. My wife even agrees Europeans should treat eachother with respect whether blonde to dark haired or blue to brown eyes. The roman empire was a massive civilization,and yes they probably did resemble the Italians of today. Yes I do call myself a Saxon as I do a celt/roman.

Mate cultural marxists are against Europe which I am not. I am a European just like you,and no SJW that wants to see tradition and culture ruined. You are more a cultural marxist by seperating Europeans,and thinking your culture is better. You are dividing mate. You are trying to seperate our beautiful Europe. You think your nordic culture is better which it isn't. I mean look at the majority of Scandinavians compare to us Irish.....we were real men in the past,and we still are. You were real men and now you are sheep that loves the mall,frost his tips on his hair,and buys more clothes than your women. Why the bloody hel do you think my wife married an irishman over a Scand ? We are men,and we will always be men !! Maybe you woke up,and decided to live like your ancestours but the majority of your men love IKEA,and the cloths stores.

      @Hare Krishna There is no such thing as "pure race". Even if you practiced endogamy for 1000+ years , at some point the starting population itself was a mix of separate stands. This is common sense.
      There is no doubt kshtriyas have a lot of central asian blood. I am bengali kshtriya and I did dna test to find roughly 10 caucasian and 10% NW India-afgan-iran area with rest being indian mainland proper.
      I suspect the composition is not accurate as I look much more un indian in my facial features and my younger brother can pass for being a persian.
      I have met many iranians and central asians and they all looked a lot like my classmates from different parts of india .
      PS: I don't accept the logic of endogamy and inducting diverse genetic material improves overall robustness with time. the decline of zoroastrianism is proof of the absurdity of endogamy.

    These are from southern slavic languages:
    Sprd - identical word with different meaning : A parody, usually used to refer to funny plays. (Perhaps the culture was more nuanced and they didn't just compete with racing and fighting).
    Kwoyneh - Klanje : Slaughter (pretty easy to connect the dots)
    Gwous - Gvozde/Gvozdže/Gvozdenje : Iron chains which were used to tie cattle and prisoners.
    Ghosti and wihon are pretty much identical just written differently.

      @Svetlana Nordvik I have mainly studied this on an artistic level having studied baroque flute for many years, and also having spent years living within eastern cultures and studying the different kinds of music with very different rythmes I was exposed to;, but there are some interesting scholarly articles on this as well. "Equestrian ballets of the Baroque Period" in the "Classical Music Quarterly" published by Oxford University discusses early Western European military equestrian culture and how it was more closely tied to the fine arts than it is today. You can also look into the music of jousting tournaments. Horns and rhythms were used to help keep horsemen balanced. Tournaments, "horse ballets" horse tournaments and equestrian events featured music that was meant to glorify the riders as well as to help them maintain coordination and balance while galloping. There is an interesting article about this that you can google: " Music, Horses, and Exotic Others: Early Modern Processions Tournaments and Pageants" by Ralph P. Locke published in the journal of Music and Politics. In general, you will find many classical and baroque pieces entitled "Marches" such as "March for the Prince of Denmark" by Clarke or the very obvious (you can almost hear the horses galloping) equestrian piece by Charpentier "Marche de Triomphe". Having traveled around the world I have never heard music with rhythms similar to that piece--its remarkably Western European in a unique way. What I find interesting is that if indeed this kind of music can help riders balance on horses as it was thought to do, then it might have unique properties that help people think more clearly, as vestibular balance is thought to have a role in child development and intellectual abilities. This idea (that Western Classical Music influences the intellect positively) has been floating around for a while I think but no one really knows why western classical music has such an impact on the intellect. It would be a good idea for researchers to look into I think!
