@@sargentwaag1483 The latin quote is a letter from Vytautas the Great to the HRE emperor Sigismund.

@@drixcel2741 Samigallians means northern border lands are you saying they are Lithuanian too? Look at some old maps. What your reading or finding is a rewrite of history.

Great work! Is there a way to watch a full version? As for now it looks there is no end.
you can watch with ads on tubitv.com or the tubi app
I'd love to know more about this channel and the ideas behind it and its videos. What inspired you guys?
They dint make it it's from a movie/documentary called "The Balts: the Last Pagans of Europe"
Do you have a citation for this dialogue? Name of the traveler and his work, please? It is fascinating.
the traveler is fictional, and his story is just a framing device for this documentary.

Is that from some Russian made history book? Žemaitija was always separate. Are you also claiming Old Prussia where Lithuanians too?
