@@Richard_is_cool The thing is: Indo-Europeans were Asians, bc their ancestors inhabited part of Asia (some *still* do). Modern Europeans are ⅓ African and ⅔ Asian - by ancestry. However, the Indo-Europeans aren't the only ancestors of modern Europeans. Before that the early farmer came from the middle east to Europe (via Anatolia, modern day "Turkey") and colonized hunter and gatherers. Which were originally also from the middle east, reached Europe via West Asia or Caucasus. From the middle east they trace back they roots back to east africa. So Europeans are the "extra-light skins" of the human race. Bc certain Africans and Asians have fair skin alleles too, this means they can be fair skinned too. Fair skin is not a "pure european thing". It's just a fact that certain fair skin alleles are typical for Asians and certain are typical among Europeans. I really don't know what kind of moron thought it would be a "good" idea to come up with such a BS term like "cultural appropriation". And even more stupid to adopt this idiotic term.

No such thing as Greek Gods. The Gods were actually Illyrian/ Pelasgians, you can read about the Illyrians and Pelasgians. Greece didn't exist. It was all the Illyrian Peninsula. Illyrians translate to as the "The Star People". Pelasgians are the "Sea People".
@@angeloschanneL851 I think even before that because they speak protoindoeuropean. And there actually was a protoindoeuropean culture. It was very similar to Spartan culture mixed with Germanic culture from my understanding. They were a nomadic people but they trained their young in survival and war and when they were old enough they were sent on their own to survive and they had the choice to come back or raid other tribes and start their own or join other ones. But regardless they were sent on raids and were trained from childhood.
You have the right idea David is basically a Nazi in all but two respects: a) having a Hebrew name and b) being a far better mad scientist than the utter hack Josef Mengele (the Japanese counterpart, Shiro Ishii, who got let clean off the hook for providing quality data from hideous medical experiments to the US, is certainly a much more fitting comparison)

The domestication of Horses and demand for copper mining meant they established nomadic settlements in the steppe and eventually invaded Central Europe from both the steppe Route ( Volga Urals) - Ancestors of Slavs, Sarmatians and Germanic people and the Anatolian Peninsula - Ancestors of Italic and Celtic people, bringing in Farming skills and horsemanship and Chariots in several waves from 2500 BC to 500 AD ( Alans and Ossets).

@@BaranLordofLight I hope you know that Zecharia Sitchin's interpretation of the mythology in question is bullshit and contradicted by literally every other scholar in the field
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi Its funny that Sanskrit has so many loanwords from Harappan, Indo Gangetic languages, Austro Asiatic and Dravidian , it was created by the post Harappans under influence of migrating tribes of IE people who settled in Northern Indian Plains due to climate change caused by the Bond cooling Event or 5 Kiloyear event- which destroyed early animal husbandry and small scale agriculture in Northern Afghanistan and South Central Asia - upper middle east etc. Its a constructed language or standard register. I think a better langauge can be designed for AI using simple algorithmics , or more likely it would be a metalanguage of sorts.
@@ArrowBast Wrong! What's so funny about loan words? Even English has derived most of their vocabs from romance languages and Greek languages! You can't speak English today without using words derived from romance languages and Greek! Indo-gangetic languages are descendants of Sanskrit! Harrapan language is a mystery, no one knows what language did the Harrapans speak!! Sanskrit has negligible loan words from Austro-Asiatic. Very less from Dravdian. It's the other way around. Dravidian languages like Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and also Tamil to an extent draws many of their vocabularies from Sanskrit.
Proto-Indo-European is a myth. How can a language that has no alphabet nor literature be the mother of most languages? The mother of the languages has the above. ο νοών νοείτω.
Gotta let you know that people were speaking long before they invented writing. They just moved and colonized all of Europe and parts of Asia and the languages that developed there all had/have common roots in their words as a consequence. There is literally nothing weird about this.

there was no lingua franca at that time .. PIE is as old as Sumerian and neither could be spoken at the time of the wall paintings. the directors simply chose the langauage that seemed most mysterious and sounded best
@@Nullius_in_verba PIE still was a pretty bad choice. We don't know enough to make a usable reconstruction, one of it's descendants like ancient greek or sanskrit would have been a better choice, maybe even egyptian.
@@Novumvir PIE is well reconstructed and it could be spoken with some limitation..but it was pretty irrealistic in the movie due to its recent time (4000bc, considering that in the film we have cave paintings dated 10k bc), greek or sanskrit would have been even worse cause they are not older than 2000 bc..anyway PIE was "alien" and cool enough to be spoken for audience
@@Nullius_in_verba you think PIE is 12K BC?🤣
@@sanepillow59 Nope, is 4/5 kbc at max
Why would he speak PIE and not another language?
Dear Muhammad-al-kwarishmi you've f*cked up my school days with your one summer holidays assignment on 'Algebra'
Without captions this is simi pointless
I think was wrong to put Pie here, because the are more languages families than indo-european (like sino-tibatanas) i thinks was better if they put proto-human (who doesnt exist)

Based off of who your account is named after, may I ask what your nationality is?
American
Muhammad al-Khwarizmi what influenced you to name your account after him?
@@altinbey5831 He was a great man and it was my pseudonym when I was making fractal artwork. "al-Khwarzmi" is now also my legal middle name.
Hey. Just wanted to say "american" is not a nationality. If I move to America I will be come American. Just like your ancestors moved there a few hundreds of years:)

Why would they speak the language of steppe people ?
Presumably the Engineers visited earth/Eastern Europe and taught the primitives tonspeak the engineers’ language (what we call Proto-Indo-European)

"Because the aryans literally built the ancient world from portugal to western china."
Haha, no)
"Androovo an aryan tribe building the system that still exist in india.
Sintashta building the ethno genesis of iranian people that would end up spreading all over the middle east forming the first modern empire.

"And of course all of europe was aryanized italic tribes , mycenians and dorians the first civilization of europe."

Nope, they are independent branch

@@user-ld3jo5xp8o No Aryan is synonymous with Indo-European. Hittites and Tocharians are absolutely of the same stock as Andronovo and Sintashta cultures. And yes, there are are cognates with Indo-Iranic words for Noble in Indo-European languages, and they did call themselves Aryan.
they should speak Persian
Your surname is turkic
@@Lipton3373 yeah proud of it
@@Lipton3373 He is a Pakistani or Indian though . very few Persians have that surname .
@@ArrowBast Zaroon Khan is pretty Pakistan. Dunno the middle name.
It's also a shock that Indians,Pakistani,Persian and iranian were too part of indo european.
from the language i think this is not proto indo european
It really is and two dedicated scholars are behind this exchange
im a big fan of the language, but jesus does it sound awful here 😂😂
European AF
You are cute mommy
Am I'm the only 1 who thinks Indo european were originated from space.
Yes, because that's batshit
@@dontchewglass why is that?
I hope so
Personally I think proto european is a language that was spoken by neanderthals
Nope, much later than that
Lol if that were true , human mtDNA will show some neanderthal mtDNA also , but no evidence for that. only autosomal DNA at very low freq - Neanderthal men raping Sapient women and Sapient women who gave birth to hybrid daughters who then mated back with Sapient men to give sapient children with only Neanderthal Autosomes.
@@ArrowBast Do you think there's a correlation to humans having something called the 'uncanny valley' effect and neanderthals? I Do.
Proto indo european been spreading all around 4000 bc
You shouldn’t claim to ‘personally’ believe things that have no basis in any evidence.
Engineer got angry because PIE was not properly reconstructed by our Eurofascist-linguists and seemed like a gutter accent to him. Next time try Hittite or Luwian it may work, and have some Russian or Lithuanian speaker vocalize it.If that fails try Sanskrit or Greek or Armenian or finally Avestan lool.
"Eurofascist"?
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi Too much Proto Indo European research done with Eurocentric bias and ignores the Anatolian and South Caspian (Mazanderani) origin .
@@ArrowBast I'm going to have to see a paper or something on this.
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi Enough evidence nowadays points towards a homeland of IE between Zagros Armenian Knot and Pamirs - which includes modern Azerbaijan, Caspian Sea Basin, Eastern georgia , and stretching all the way to the Oxus valley and yes including the Khwarezm steppe/Tugai forests south of Aral Sea. The domestication of Horses and demand for copper mining meant they established nomadic settlements in the steppe and eventually invaded Central Europe from both the steppe Route ( Volga Urals) - Ancestors of Slavs, Sarmatians and Germanic people and the Anatolian Peninsula - Ancestors of Italic and Celtic people, bringing in Farming skills and horsemanship and Chariots in several waves from 2500 BC to 500 AD ( Alans and Ossets). Virtually all Men of R1a and R1b originated in Central and Western Asia respectively . And As much as it hurts the Ego of Europeans and their manufactured fairy tales of ice age refuges, the Ancestors of R1a and R1b aka haplogroups R and its ancestor P originated in India lol. The ancestors of Haplogroup P - Haplogroup K and its own ancestor Haplogroup F also differentiated in India. All Eurasian men descended from Haplogroup CF have an ancestry either in India or Sundaland ( South East Asia) , thats what caused the long term genetic drift from originally African Ancestors from which they became genetically isolated after the long term drying up of the Sahara desert region.

Indo european language is PROTO SANSKRIT Language.
Omi Sahay Ya I guess
Omi Sahay yes
Well then this is proto-proto-sanskrit
The Centum-Satem isogloss means Sanskrit and Persian broke away from PIE before a divergence happened, so maybe we should recreate 75% hittite and 25% Sanskrit - oldest recorded IE languages. Sanskrit has too many loanwords from Dravidic and many from now extinct Austric and Tibeto burman languages (and some even from Burusho)
@@ArrowBast Hittite had Semitic elements and loans. Hittite ain't "pure"... So what's your point again?
Lol it is laughable the anunaki is a sumerian myth not indo European but Europeans want them to speak indo European.. they should be speaking sumerian not indo-european.
What does this have to do with the Annunaki?
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi nothing.. seems you can't even put two and two together.
@@BaranLordofLight Explain because I'm apparently a big dummy
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi the engineers are totally inspired by the sumerian myth the "Anunaki" the aliens (gods) that created humans from their dna (myth) hundred thousand years ago and then went to their home planet Niberu, when they returned they found that the humans changed a lot and became monsters thus should be killed and thus the great flood happened the flood is actually a sumerian myth to begin with.
@@BaranLordofLight I hope you know that Zecharia Sitchin's interpretation of the mythology in question is bullshit and contradicted by literally every other scholar in the field
Sanskrit is the most ancient and perfect language for AI: NASA
That's a myth; they never used Sanskrit for AI
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi they dont use it. they just saying sanskrit is the best language for AI because of its precision
@@BelisariusAlKhwarizmi Its funny that Sanskrit has so many loanwords from Harappan, Indo Gangetic languages, Austro Asiatic and Dravidian , it was created by the post Harappans under influence of migrating tribes of IE people who settled in Northern Indian Plains due to climate change caused by the Bond cooling Event or 5 Kiloyear event- which destroyed early animal husbandry and small scale agriculture in Northern Afghanistan and South Central Asia - upper middle east etc. Its a constructed language or standard register. I think a better langauge can be designed for AI using simple algorithmics , or more likely it would be a metalanguage of sorts.
No one ever said anything like that. Hindu nationalists like to say that to feel good about themselves. That's blatant race pride and nothing else
@@ArrowBast
Wrong!
What's so funny about loan words? Even English has derived most of their vocabs from romance languages and Greek languages!
You can't speak English today without using words derived from romance languages and Greek!
Indo-gangetic languages are descendants of Sanskrit!
Harrapan language is a mystery, no one knows what language did the Harrapans speak!!
Sanskrit has negligible loan words from Austro-Asiatic. Very less from Dravdian. It's the other way around. Dravidian languages like Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and also Tamil to an extent draws many of their vocabularies from Sanskrit.
Proto-Indo-European is a myth. How can a language that has no alphabet nor literature be the mother of most languages? The mother of the languages has the above. ο νοών νοείτω.
That's like saying Proto-Bantu doesn't exist for the same reason
Writing developed tens of thousands of years after language. Go back to school!
Gotta let you know that people were speaking long before they invented writing.
They just moved and colonized all of Europe and parts of Asia and the languages that developed there all had/have common roots in their words as a consequence.
There is literally nothing weird about this.
