Great video! You and I are bloodline Welsh, my bloodline long ago Welsh king Bellmar. Lexisnexis legal computer alias ann joyce real name h.r.h Ana-Maria Romanov-Hanover Von habsburg

The moment u.k no longer legally existed--freedom of religion would flourish, whether Catholic or Pagan or other beliefs, true freedom. And ..no..more u.k upholding Top organized crime. Rome Italy would have good odds to then lead a united Europe.

Do We need u.k? Is u.k friendly to law enforcement--or upholding Top organized crime? Britain was humble yet dignified, lawful, and strong when seated queen elizabeth 1st Tudor (no relation to windsor-Bush family, no).

Farkas means wolf in Hungarian, Cneze aka Kenéz is a Hungarian title and herteg aka herceg means prince in Hungarian.

I think the main difficulties for English speakers arise from the phonology (some sounds that are specific to the French language), from the spelling (however, the French spelling is very regular compared to the English spelling) and the verb conjugation that brings some complexity to the game. The existence of grammatical genders for nouns also plays a role in increasing the degree of difficulty of the French language. For me, as a speaker of another Romance language (Romanian), learning French was not very difficult.

this video is so good , thanks

What is your own ethnicity?

They where not white men...

Croatian arrival Here is the starting text on the early sailing migration of the southern Chakavian Croats from the Azov Sea across Mediterranean to upper Adriatic, i.e. Legend on sailing Matanni and town Corynthia (an approximative translation of the starting part of Chakavian original - the omitted continuation covers newer medieval events in Adriatic): "It is an early legend on the first Croatian navigations in eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea. The first ancestors of Veglians in primordial age dwelled as the sailing Matanni in western side of Pontic ranges (? Caucasus) at Azov Sea. There they practicized the sailing and fishing, and also the riding on horses in adjacent eastern steppes. When the time for their migration came, their admiral Harvatje organized a strong fleet of seven nice ships named: Main-ship of admiral, big Destroyer, leading Precursor, Old-ship, Mini-ship, the Twin, and 7th one that drowned subsequently and its name was forgotten. One nice day in spring, all sailors sang their hymn ‘Mariani-Mariani!’. Each screw entered into the related ship, they dissolved the ropes of quay and opened all sails. Then all fleet sailed away, and they navigated during a year up to Krk island in Adriatic. Along this long way, their main indicator was the northern star Tohornica (Polaris): at their start in Black Sea it was astern for them, and when they came in the Adriatic it was them fore prow. They firstly sailed southwards with the norder in sails, and through the Crimean strait (Kertch) they reached the major Black Sea, where eastwards the snowy peaks of Caucasus range were visible. Then they sailed westwards by Hirshon peninsula (Crimea), by Danube delta and by Pontic coast (? Dobrogea), where occur the extensive shallows with rare ships and no major harbours. Then they passed by Constantinople, and through the minor Marmara Sea and Pontic Straits they reached the warmer Greek Sea (= Aegean) where many Greek ships sailed and fished. There they passed by the big peninsula Hatya (Asia Minor), between the Greek archipelago and by Kreta island. There they lost 7th ship in a shipwreck, and its screw mostly landed Creta and stayed there. The others reposed there for some time, and after Creta these 6 ships entered in the Mediterranean offing called Velemori (= Big-Sea) and sailed along the Greek promontory (Peloponnesus) and at Korynth Bay. There their main pilot and patron were the Khulap (Sailing spirit) and Macarol (Fishing spirit) who assured them the abundant fish for food. Against them, navigators were attacked by sea-demons Shtrigun and Orkuul that tortured them by storms, hurricanes and huge billows. When they overpassed this offing, they sailed by Italian promontory (Apulia) and there they entered into the 'Blue-Sea' (= Adriatic). With a southwind they sailed then northwards along Albanian coast and between the nice islands of Dalmatia, where northwards the snowy peaks of Dinarides were visible. At the end, in the beginning of winter these 6 ships reached the northernmost Kvarner Gulf, where westwards lie Istra peninsula, and eastwards the Velebit mountain. These sailors bringed the Veglian speech of our islanders, and the old Glagolitic writing there. On their arrival in Kvarner, these sailors finished their long navigation. The screw of each ship landed there in another island of Kvarner, and admiral Harvatje with his main ship landed in the largest island Krk. When Matanni firstly reached Krk, it was not so stony as nowadays; it was covered mostly by green grass, where browsed many golden sheeps, and a nice Nymph in white dress guarded them. Matanni intended to build their new town there, and this Nymph selected them a nice place nearby the fountain in the easternmost promontory of Krk, called Sokuol (Falcon). She also interdicted them to return and to observe her sheeps, but they neglected this prohibition. When they returned and observed the golden sheeps, they were immediately transformed in numerous white stones, and therefore Krk island is now mostly covered by stones, from which Matanni constructed their town Uri-Kworyta (or recent Corynthia) ..." (the continuation is on the subsequent medieval events in upper Adriatic).

Indo-Iranian Proto-Croats (pre-Slavonic origins of early Croatians): 120 Croat and non-Croat university professors and several academics have compiled 249 research works of which many have been printed in various publications and thereby have proven that Croats are of earlier Iranian origin. There are many real evidences about the identity of ancient Croats which almost dismiss the imposed theory that Croats are of pure Slav origin only. Although research works on the earlier origins of the Croats could not be published due to the censorship that was widely practiced in the former Yugoslavia, the now available data reveal that the initiator on research about the early Iranian origin of the Croats appeared yet two centuries ago. In his Ph.D. thesis in 1797, J. Mikocsy-Blumenthal made a study on the Iranian origin of the Croats and proved the conclusion that the ancestors of actual Croats emigrated from the western part of ancient Persia. Following the formation of Yugoslavia in 1918, the bigot Slavs destroyed all original copies of that dissertation in an attempt to erase any data about the Pre-Slavic history of early Croats. To date, only a minor digest of that research published in 1938 persisted.

Very correct benjamin

Bravo benjamin very nice introduction . Very powerful bulshit mixed wit albanian springles

Ben makes a very serious error from the very start of the video. Vlach does not mean Romanian. Vlach means Romance language speaker, and it encompasses populations that are not Romanians such as the Dalmatians, the Balkan Vlachs. Moreover in the middle ages the term Vlach also encompassed the Italians on the northern Adriatic coast. Saying Vlach is like saying Celt, it does cover Wales but it also covers Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Galicia, Cornwall.

Ben you did it again! Felicitari 👏🏻

So many similarities with the Basque Country. Really interesting

The Celtoland

The Greek doctrine defines anyone, regardless of his origin, Greek, if he knows Greek and has embraced the Greek culture. For this reason they claim Alexander the Great Greek, although he was ethnic Macedonian. He claimed to be Greek so that he could participate in the Olympic games, but the Greeks in his time denied him that claim. Tsar Simeon the Great of Bulgaria was called by the Greeks in Constantinople half-Greek because he graduated in Constantinople and knew fluent Greek, regardless of him being Bulgarian by birth and his actions as a a Bulgarian tsar to prevent the Greek culture infiltrating in Bulgaria with Christianity. Christianity being the only official religion in the Eastern Roman empire outcast all other religions, including ancient Greek religion and mythology. In fact, being Greek with all the ancient Greek pagan heritage was considered disgrace. For this reason, the modern Greek claims to the so called Byzantine empire legacy is a nonsense. Bulgaria was not recognized as a state in 681, but only her territorial gains south of the Danube. The year Bulgaria was found was 632 when a peace treaty with the Eastern Roman empire was signed.

1:04 Basque - is a Basque language, spoken by Basques, heavily influenced by Basque with some Basque and Basque sprinkles.

And in universal history there have never been an albanian historian or scholar.Universaly albania is unknown ,

If you atea dysleaxic yes, is vlachia and not wlachia , in greek language wales is oualia, no w.and it means ,the land without shore, because there are clifts around wales and ireland

You are albanian ben? Your name isnt albanian anyway, why do you have this fuxation about romania? Do you think you have a relation to the romanians, vlachs, or dacians ? Anyway many greetings to our non nationalist albanian brothers,

Funny you use the Greek term "Ethnic" trying to find who is the oldest "Ethnos" in Europe! You must be really clever! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnos keep in mind that the last permafrost age started to retrat in central Europe 12.000 years ago. The first great society stractures was formed in Mesopotamia midle east and in Egypt around that time.. In Europe you can only be sure about the Greeks becose of their almost magical at the times language in WRITTEN FORM. That written form of documentation gave the power to form bureaucracies and state stractures. And almost everything else we know about other peoples in Europe at that time is due to that great invetion of a real aphabet.

Oh i see , the only kingdom in the balkans withba language is romania? Why you have this fixation with romania? What is it about romania that i dont understand? Unless you are romanian...

Kosovo,north skopje?

What says an irish cardinal ...th-cam.com/video/6T5Afl-yxa8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ia-Hn-ASr17vpfEy ...All european nation came from Balcans...as only Balcans were not covered by ice...around 8000 years ago..

Zaza?! I always love learning about a language I have never heard of before, especially when its name is That fun to say.

Great vid. As someone who is interested in Linguistics, Politics, and Anthropology I feel like It'd be fun to sit down and have a pint with you while talking about all kinds of interesting historical stuff. Keep up the good work.

Very nicely done as always. Still hard to tell. I have an unfair application for a couple of the runners up. Perhaps we could throw in written language as a variable, but that might also become messy especially given the question of date for the earliest written form of Georgian, and the recent discovery of the Hand of Irrulegi. Ultimately how a nation is to be defined is very much similar to what I say about gardening. Gardening is about defining the lines of separation, and unification of one area and its relationship to other areas.

YES!

*S'mae?* (Welsh) ~ *Ce mai e?* (Romanian). Both means "How are things?" Lol! :) And I see other similarities: *Cyfeiriad* ~ *Către* *ymuno* ~ *amândoi* *gwint* ~ *vânt*

The Lost World of Old Europe: The Danube Valley, 5000 3500 BC th-cam.com/video/8cHLnAgXLMY/w-d-xo.html

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cucuteni%E2%80%93Trypillia_culture. "The Cucuteni-Trypillia culture, also known as the Cucuteni culture or the Trypillia culture, is a Neolithic-Chalcolithic archaeological culture (c. 5500 to 2750 BC) of Southeast Europe. It extended from the Carpathian Mountains to the Dniester and Dnieper regions, centered on modern-day Moldova and covering substantial parts of western Ukraine and northeastern Romania, encompassing an area of 350,000 km2 (140,000 sq mi), with a diameter of 500 km (300 mi; roughly from Kyiv in the northeast to Brașov in the southwest)."

Get the Islams OUT ANY KIND OF WAY.

Pelasgi..... leleges..... If you now the camp of ogigos... 15000 bc .

Very interesting video. As a Greek I would say that the ancient Greek "spirit" was inherited by the western world via the Roman empire which conquered their land ... and so it lives on in every nation in some form. However the Greek national identity as we know it today, it goes back to the Byzantine era - itself having kept some elements inherited by the ancient world and the ancient Greeks.

The Serbs and other Balkan people. We all have I2a haplogroups,Lepenski vir culture from 12000 ago, Starchevo culture. And the oldest civilization in Europe - Vinchan civilization, with first letters, first metallurgy..

As a Romanian, seeing the Romanian comments makes me cringe so hard, balkan nationalism is crazy

Hungary oldest one. We came from the Sirius 50000 bce and dried up the pannonian sea, and built the carpathian mountains to keep out the uncivilized neandethrals and indeuros.

Interesting fact 4: EMATHIA the antic name of Macedonia of The Great Alexander. In Albanian; EMATHIA means THE GREATNESS. It is written as "E MADHIA". On Google: E MADHIA = THE GREATNESS/THE GREAT. Albanian speakers already know "e madhia" means "the great/the greatness".

Interesting fact 3: ILLYRIA the ancestors of the Albanians. I LIR in Albania means THE FREE MAN or NATIVE ILIR-IA, "ia" is the addition for the countries in Albanian ex.: GERMAN > GERMANIA, ILIR>ILIRIA. In Google: I LIR = FREE Everyone who knows Albanian can understand ILIR. There is another theory that ILLYRIA in Albnaian means THE NEW STAR written as YLL I RI > YLLIRI > I YLLIRIA > ILLYRIA YLL=STAR ; I RI=NEW

Interesting fact 2: IYON SEA in Albanian means OUR SEA. Written as I JON; seperate and with "j" letter instead of "y" (J=Y). Read as "iyon". I JON=our; DET = sea On Google: DET I JON = OUR SEA Everyone who knows Albanian know that.

Interesting fact 1: Do you know the Troy? TROYA in Albanian means THE LAND. It is written as TROJA. (J=Y) TROYA WAR=LUFTA E TROJES=THE LAND WAR Not: On Google write in plural form TROJET or a phrase TROJET TONA=OUR LANDS

Albanian language is a really interesting antic language that we should pay more attention.

I don't know if someone said it, but the Catalonian flag is wrong. It has no star, it's only the lines. That flag is the separatist one.

Albania Grecce Armenia They're the oldiest in the world There are no other glory ILLYRIA 🇦🇱💪

Ben, as a Catalan, I think it would be better the Catalan flag without the star, just the four bars, because it's the official one. The one with the star is intended to express the independentism (which I support), it has a political sense. Anyway, very interesting video.

Your knowledge of languages and cultures is astonishing and highly amusing at the same time :-)

The flag you put for Sardinian is actually the (beautiful) Corsican flag ;-)

Genetic studies have proven that 70% of the Sardinians are still related to their ancestors who came to the island around 12.000 years ago. That would make them by far the oldest "nation" in Europe. Of course, Basques have a strong claim too, because their language is not indoeuropean, but they aren't as genetically homogeneous as Sardinians. And yes, Sardinia is a "failed nation".... Apart from that, Sardinia has a very distinct and ancient culture and had its hey-day during the bronze age (--> nuragic culture) and the Sardinians may have been one of the sea people (sherden) around 1200 BC. Being an island, it is inherently genetically and culturally conservative. After the Eastern Roman Empire wasn't able to control the island anymore, it developed 4 indipendent reigns (-> giudicati) that remained for a very long time. The last of the indipendent Sardinian kingdoms was defeated by the Kingdom of Aragon (1409) and the island lost it's indipendence ever since.

I'm Greek. Your approach is very interesting. Well done 👍
