Interesting, informative video. The *_soundtrack_* - parts sound much like Jeremy Soule's music for The Elder Scrolls games series. Is there a connection?
Despite there being some awesome history documentaries on TH-cam this is the only one I could find that really explains who the first European people were
The latter part of this video was bringing up ideas similar to ideas that were widespread in the first part of the previous century, but that got entangled with a certain ideology that suddenly lost influence almost 80 years ago. Though it left behind some artifacts such as the words Caucasian being used to refer to Europeans. Since then, many of these ideas have been more or less taboo. Instead of seing the spread of the Indo-European language as a result of violent conquest, historians and antropologists preferred to describe pre-historic hunter gatherers as mostly peaceful and attibute the spread of the spread of the language to cultural diffusion instead of ethnic conquest and migration. Only in the last 10-15 years or so have we had the capacity to do the kind of DNA analysis that can give a precise description of the DNA composition of peoples from various areas of Europe, and those have largely confirmed the earlier assumptions that Indo-European migrations were quite violent in nature. In many places, especially in Northern Europe and Britain, virtually all pre-existing male bloodlines (y chromosomes) disappeared during the 3rd millenium BC (and 4th in some places), and were replaced by "steppe-people DNA". And in any given location, the disappearance was quite sudden, often only a couple of centuries. Meanwhile, female bloodlines (mitochondrial DNA) survived to a much larger extent, usually with half or more of the population coming from local female lineages. This paints a grizzly picture of invading bands of warriors invading a territory, killing (or at best enslaving) ALL males while taking the young females as wives. And this was not limited to isolated cases. They kept it going systematically for over a millenium, and spread in this manner from Ireland in the west to Myanmar in the east. Later "barbarian" conquerers, including the Vikings, Huns and even Mongols completely pale by comparison. Definitely not the peaceful "Noble Savage" view of pre-history that has been popular for the last 80 years or so.
I’m proud to belong to one of the Freest, Strongest and most Spirited peoples in all of history!

Cyprus is European because it is Greek. So the culture, language, religion, is European. There is a turkish speaking muslim minority in the occupied zone, but it is just a small minority due to ottoman occupation of the island. And even then, those people used Greek to communicate.
Religiously, Albania and Bosnia have muslim majorities Linguistically, the Turks hail from a similar place as the Finns, Estonians and Hungarians, the great Eurasian steppes. Anatolia had always been considered part of the Christian world (the basis for Europe after the rise of Islam, and why Armenia and Georgia are considered European-ish), and with the rise of the Ottomans in the balkans the Ottomans once again became more "European" to the point they were treated as equals by the European powers during the age of Imperialismn an age where European powers saw the "orient" as backwards and inferior. It is my view that Turkey should be welcomed in the EU some day, just like Armenia and Georgia. Some day. NOT today. There are tons of problems in needs of fixing, just like in Ukraine, to meet EU quotas. Namely, Erdogan is a big problem because of his whole political stances of Turkish nationalism and anti-secularism Until the decline of the Ottoman empire and the rise of Greek nationalism, Greeks called themselves "Roman". Much the same, until the fall of the Ottoman empire and the Turkish re-birth with Attaturk, the Turks of the empire called themselves "Roman" I mention Attaturk and he is a core proponent of this idea that Turkey can very much fit in Europe. The problem is the opposite of Attaturk, the likes of Erdogan. Erdogan, who turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque and alienated his balkan neighbours by romanticising Ottoman hegemony over the region

The quote from Aristotle is very interesting. They were aware that their level of organization was superior to other civilizations and could be applied on a wider scale. What also happened for a period in Alexander's empire and the states that formed from it, but especially became valid in the case of the Romans.
Why would you say it's superior necessarily? It can be argued both ways. The slavs arguably had a much more egalitarian and just democracy. Greeks had slavery. Aristotle himself owned 5 allegedly.
The democratic aspect is debatable, but the Greeks had both: an advanced civilization and a kind of democracy. They had a major influence on the Roman world and the modern world, which "borrowed" different aspects from the Greek system, and thus Aristotle's intuition came to life. The fact that sometimes in the past there was some kind of democratic organization will influence the progress of the modern age. The organization of the Slavs (and other similar people), on the other hand, allowed for a new beginning without slavery after the fall of the Roman Empire (slavery was also in decline at the end of the Empire). However, as their civilization advanced, they gradually lost their democratic society and fell into feudalism.
@@tudorm6838 it's not debatable really. It's well documented how the slavs governed themselves prior to formation of centralized medieval states. Very similar to the communal way of life of the tgracians who were arguably part of the same language family and likely closely related. You can see the thracian lands almost perfectly match the later lands inhabited by "slavs". Democracy was not invented by Greeks. Even American natives had very well developed democracies with parliaments believe it or not. Democracy is not rocket science.
@@thatisme3thatisme38 It is not something specific to the Slavs, many areas of the world went through a democratic phase at the beginning of human organization. This kind of organization did not survive the development of civilization and "evolved" towards slavery, military hierarchy, feudalism, or other forms in which the rich or the powerful had a greater say than the masses. It returned to democracy only in the modern era. The ancient Greeks had a limited democratic model, but one that was "documented", and then read for centuries and thus had influence over time.
This seems to belong to the more rare class of videos in which many of the visuals actually illustrate the spoken text and are therefore worth absorbing. That requires some real knowledge and competence rather than just fuzzy association and a stockpile of pictures. Good work!
The step herders had a very well established system of creating client states. It would make sence that they would have more of a DNA impact in lands that were more sparsely populated and why in those areas they developed more distinct sub groups. The whole time they create client states they mix in with those groups who they themselves move on to create more client states. So the mixing of eastern herders snowballs to the west each time becoming less esh and more whg. Not just conquest but adoption. God I love this subject
Paleolithic then neolithic people's andWestern hunter gatherers and Eastern hunter gatherers, indo European steppes nomadic herders moving into various areas and great admixtures of people and cultures developing. History and origins very fascinating. 😊
Greek here. The name “Europa” can be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes”, or "She Who Sees Widely (far)", or "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide". The first Europa is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. She personifies the Continent. Her sisters are Asia and Libya (Africa). Her name should be etymologized as "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide". The second Europa is the daughter of Phoenix “Phoenician”, or his father Agenor "He Who Leads Men" and of Telephassa "She Who Illuminates Far, or From Afar". She personifies the transmission of animal husbandry from the Levant, Phoenicia to the Greeks. Her name should be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes” (cow). Zeus transformed into a bull in order to abduct her. Her brother Cadmus (of unknown etymology) received an oracle from Delphi to follow the first cow he would meet and to the place where she would lie down, there to found a city, Thebes. Cadmus is the father of Semele and the grandfather of Dionysus who as Zagreus was slain having taken the form of a bull. Zagreus himself is indeed horned and Semele-Thyone is "She Who Is Impetuous/Vehement". In the marriage of Cadmus to Harmonia, Goddess of fertility Demeter mated with Iasion “He Of Cure” and gave birth to Philomelus "He Who Loves The Farm Animals", patron of husbandry and agriculture. Cadmus is married to Harmonia because husbantry brings harmony. The name of Europa's other brother Cilix is etymologized as "He Who Has Twisted Horns". All the connections you've made with the various Earth Goddesses, as well as the non-Greek etymologies, are irrelevant. There is much more to it.
As an Israelite and an historian I am fascinated by the fact that you cited all of that without mentioning that they were Black people.😂 Wow. There really is something fundamentally wrong about so-called nonblack people.😅 Wow
The word Europe Ευρώπη, means the woman with wide vision or the woman that can see everything. Euris, ευρύς in Greek means wide, and -ωπή from the verb οπέω opèo or opò meaning to see and it refers to the eye socket.
All Europeans should be fully conscious and deeply proud of their ancient origins and their inspiring art, culture and architecture. Overall, Europeans themselves are often beautiful looking people. Even more significantly, as ancient writers pointed out, there is the deep rooted Western belief in personal freedom, which clearly hails from the proto-democratic cultures of the ancient Greeks and Latins, as well as amongst the Germanic tribes of Northern Europe. By contrast the ancient empires of the Middle East did not take on board the concept of the freedom of the individual. Sadly, this deficit is surely evident to this day amongst the violent, repressive, impoverished and generally dysfunctional Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The Muslim conquest of these regions in the 7th century AD and the destruction of Greco-Roman and Christian (ie Western) culture has set back human freedom and accomplishment in these deeply unhappy areas over many centuries, right up to our own time. This is another wonderful symposium from Fortress of Lugh, with beautiful images of Europe and Europeans.

"... Europe is always an "idea", but never Africa or Asia" Where ever have you gotten such a weird idea? Asia and Africa are some of the most powerfully ideas in European culture. mainly because of the uter ignorance that european had about those places. And even after the age of exploration, those influences were amplified in an almost exponential way. Those "ideas and myths" have influence in every aspects of European views of the world since forever. I am doubting if you are European if can have such thoughts. Are from the US or something like that? We also have some "ideas" about those places.
So, i'm from northern Portugal. You said in the video that Spaniards had low steppe ancestry, but my ancestry test shows i am R1b with arround 40% steppe ancestry. How can it be? I have dark eyes like european farmers, but medium light hair, 1,80 cm height and pale skin which match yamnaya reconstructions, and also lactose tolerant, maybe you were refering to southern iberians.
I'm guessing here, but northern Portugal was once home to the Suabian (Suavian) Germanic kingdom. Also, weren't there alot of Celts and Celtiberian tribes in that area? The Visigoths had most of the Iberian Peninsula as their kingdom. Also, for a time the Alans (Iranic) and Vandals controlled Iberia before being ousted by the Visigoths. I think in Portugal there is a big mastiff dog breed called Alano, a descendent of war dogs. At least until the muslims invaded.

Ephesus (/ˈɛfɪsəs/;[1][2] Greek: Ἔφεσος, translit. Éphesos; Turkish: Efes; may ultimately derive from Hittite: 𒀀𒉺𒊭, romanized: Apaša) was a city in Ancient Greece[3][4] on the coast of Ionia, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of Apasa, the former Arzawan capital,[5][6] by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era, it was one of twelve cities that were members of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC. The city was famous in its day for the nearby Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), which has been designated one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[7] Its many monumental buildings included the Library of Celsus and a theatre capable of holding 24,000 spectators.[8] Ephesus was recipient city of one of the Pauline epistles; one of the seven churches of Asia addressed in the Book of Revelation;[9] the Gospel of John may have been written there;[10] and it was the site of several 5th-century Christian Councils (see Council of Ephesus). The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263. Although it was afterwards rebuilt, its importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. In 614, it was partially destroyed by an earthquake. Today, the ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction, being accessible from Adnan Menderes Airport and from the resort town Kuşadası. In 2015, the ruins were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

thanks for this very interesting story about the origins of europe it was so insightfull and fascinating and also very informative.
I'm proud to be European, I love Europe. We are all children of Rome and ancient Greece. May we all live in peace forever. May all of our diversed cultures remain strong and beautiful as they are for centuries.
I have the same hope the americans he have the war again inside in europe kick out all americans is the devil .
How funny.
You've been lied your entire life.
Ancient Greece never existed.
Ancient Rome is an Ideal, a dream which is in fact a nightmare. The People that are our fathers are the ones who ended it, since in their Domain slavery was illegal and punished by death and every person who entered their lands was a free man by the law.
I'm proud to be their offspring and I can only dream that someday, we will be even close to what they were.....

My family has been in the states long enough to have lost track of when we came here.
My last name is Pugh, which comes from the Welsh. However, my ancestry is (apparently) mainly Anglo and Scottish! Only a little Welsh left, lol.
Love history and origins of peoples, places, cultures, and religions, how they've morphed and blended into one another.
A fantastic find, your content. *fervent applause*
The thing is, the people of the British isles and Ireland have mixed for so many thousands of years, ethnically it males little difference, if you're from here you likely have ancestors from all of the nations, even those which no longer exist. What is cool about Welsh though is that it's the oldest continuously spoken language, 4000 years old.

Bulgars have nothing to do with Thracians.
You got 0 Thracian words, while there are not 160 , but way more Dacian words.
The Thracians fled when you came from Asia.
Romanians are not Bulgars, they can't call themselves "balegar"( cow poop) or "bulgar"( ball, chunk of matter) both from IE*bhalg' ( pile) false cognate with English bulk, bulge.

Interesting, informative video.
The *_soundtrack_* - parts sound much like Jeremy Soule's music for The Elder Scrolls games series. Is there a connection?
Despite there being some awesome history documentaries on TH-cam this is the only one I could find that really explains who the first European people were
The latter part of this video was bringing up ideas similar to ideas that were widespread in the first part of the previous century, but that got entangled with a certain ideology that suddenly lost influence almost 80 years ago. Though it left behind some artifacts such as the words Caucasian being used to refer to Europeans.
Since then, many of these ideas have been more or less taboo. Instead of seing the spread of the Indo-European language as a result of violent conquest, historians and antropologists preferred to describe pre-historic hunter gatherers as mostly peaceful and attibute the spread of the spread of the language to cultural diffusion instead of ethnic conquest and migration.
Only in the last 10-15 years or so have we had the capacity to do the kind of DNA analysis that can give a precise description of the DNA composition of peoples from various areas of Europe, and those have largely confirmed the earlier assumptions that Indo-European migrations were quite violent in nature. In many places, especially in Northern Europe and Britain, virtually all pre-existing male bloodlines (y chromosomes) disappeared during the 3rd millenium BC (and 4th in some places), and were replaced by "steppe-people DNA". And in any given location, the disappearance was quite sudden, often only a couple of centuries.
Meanwhile, female bloodlines (mitochondrial DNA) survived to a much larger extent, usually with half or more of the population coming from local female lineages.
This paints a grizzly picture of invading bands of warriors invading a territory, killing (or at best enslaving) ALL males while taking the young females as wives. And this was not limited to isolated cases. They kept it going systematically for over a millenium, and spread in this manner from Ireland in the west to Myanmar in the east. Later "barbarian" conquerers, including the Vikings, Huns and even Mongols completely pale by comparison.
Definitely not the peaceful "Noble Savage" view of pre-history that has been popular for the last 80 years or so.

Fascinating!
Cyprus is European because it is Greek. So the culture, language, religion, is European. There is a turkish speaking muslim minority in the occupied zone, but it is just a small minority due to ottoman occupation of the island. And even then, those people used Greek to communicate.
Religiously, Albania and Bosnia have muslim majorities
Linguistically, the Turks hail from a similar place as the Finns, Estonians and Hungarians, the great Eurasian steppes.
Anatolia had always been considered part of the Christian world (the basis for Europe after the rise of Islam, and why Armenia and Georgia are considered European-ish), and with the rise of the Ottomans in the balkans the Ottomans once again became more "European" to the point they were treated as equals by the European powers during the age of Imperialismn an age where European powers saw the "orient" as backwards and inferior.
It is my view that Turkey should be welcomed in the EU some day, just like Armenia and Georgia.
Some day. NOT today. There are tons of problems in needs of fixing, just like in Ukraine, to meet EU quotas. Namely, Erdogan is a big problem because of his whole political stances of Turkish nationalism and anti-secularism
Until the decline of the Ottoman empire and the rise of Greek nationalism, Greeks called themselves "Roman". Much the same, until the fall of the Ottoman empire and the Turkish re-birth with Attaturk, the Turks of the empire called themselves "Roman"
I mention Attaturk and he is a core proponent of this idea that Turkey can very much fit in Europe. The problem is the opposite of Attaturk, the likes of Erdogan. Erdogan, who turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque and alienated his balkan neighbours by romanticising Ottoman hegemony over the region

A special day when you post a new episode! Thank you Kevin 🌹😊🌻
Hello from Greece. Great video!
This is a very calm and fair video.
The quote from Aristotle is very interesting. They were aware that their level of organization was superior to other civilizations and could be applied on a wider scale. What also happened for a period in Alexander's empire and the states that formed from it, but especially became valid in the case of the Romans.
Why would you say it's superior necessarily? It can be argued both ways. The slavs arguably had a much more egalitarian and just democracy. Greeks had slavery. Aristotle himself owned 5 allegedly.
The democratic aspect is debatable, but the Greeks had both: an advanced civilization and a kind of democracy. They had a major influence on the Roman world and the modern world, which "borrowed" different aspects from the Greek system, and thus Aristotle's intuition came to life. The fact that sometimes in the past there was some kind of democratic organization will influence the progress of the modern age. The organization of the Slavs (and other similar people), on the other hand, allowed for a new beginning without slavery after the fall of the Roman Empire (slavery was also in decline at the end of the Empire). However, as their civilization advanced, they gradually lost their democratic society and fell into feudalism.
@@tudorm6838 it's not debatable really. It's well documented how the slavs governed themselves prior to formation of centralized medieval states. Very similar to the communal way of life of the tgracians who were arguably part of the same language family and likely closely related. You can see the thracian lands almost perfectly match the later lands inhabited by "slavs".
Democracy was not invented by Greeks. Even American natives had very well developed democracies with parliaments believe it or not. Democracy is not rocket science.
@@thatisme3thatisme38 It is not something specific to the Slavs, many areas of the world went through a democratic phase at the beginning of human organization.
This kind of organization did not survive the development of civilization and "evolved" towards slavery, military hierarchy, feudalism, or other forms in which the rich or the powerful had a greater say than the masses. It returned to democracy only in the modern era. The ancient Greeks had a limited democratic model, but one that was "documented", and then read for centuries and thus had influence over time.
@@tudorm6838 I didn't say the slavs were unique did i?
Wonderfully done video!
Very interesting I would like to learn more about this is there a book you would recommend or a website?
I love this channel 💚👌
This seems to belong to the more rare class of videos in which many of the visuals actually illustrate the spoken text and are therefore worth absorbing. That requires some real knowledge and competence rather than just fuzzy association and a stockpile of pictures. Good work!
The step herders had a very well established system of creating client states. It would make sence that they would have more of a DNA impact in lands that were more sparsely populated and why in those areas they developed more distinct sub groups. The whole time they create client states they mix in with those groups who they themselves move on to create more client states. So the mixing of eastern herders snowballs to the west each time becoming less esh and more whg. Not just conquest but adoption. God I love this subject
Paleolithic then neolithic people's andWestern hunter gatherers and Eastern hunter gatherers, indo European steppes nomadic herders moving into various areas and great admixtures of people and cultures developing. History and origins very fascinating. 😊

Greek here.
The name “Europa” can be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes”, or "She Who Sees Widely (far)", or "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide".
The first Europa is the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. She personifies the Continent. Her sisters are Asia and Libya (Africa). Her name should be etymologized as "She Of Wide Appearance, She Who Appears Wide".
The second Europa is the daughter of Phoenix “Phoenician”, or his father Agenor "He Who Leads Men" and of Telephassa "She Who Illuminates Far, or From Afar". She personifies the transmission of animal husbandry from the Levant, Phoenicia to the Greeks. Her name should be etymologized as "She Who Has Wide (large) Eyes” (cow). Zeus transformed into a bull in order to abduct her. Her brother Cadmus (of unknown etymology) received an oracle from Delphi to follow the first cow he would meet and to the place where she would lie down, there to found a city, Thebes. Cadmus is the father of Semele and the grandfather of Dionysus who as Zagreus was slain having taken the form of a bull. Zagreus himself is indeed horned and Semele-Thyone is "She Who Is Impetuous/Vehement". In the marriage of Cadmus to Harmonia, Goddess of fertility Demeter mated with Iasion “He Of Cure” and gave birth to Philomelus "He Who Loves The Farm Animals", patron of husbandry and agriculture. Cadmus is married to Harmonia because husbantry brings harmony. The name of Europa's other brother Cilix is etymologized as "He Who Has Twisted Horns".
All the connections you've made with the various Earth Goddesses, as well as the non-Greek etymologies, are irrelevant. There is much more to it.
As an Israelite and an historian I am fascinated by the fact that you cited all of that without mentioning that they were Black people.😂 Wow. There really is something fundamentally wrong about so-called nonblack people.😅 Wow
You and Gnostic informant are on fire
Great video
The word Europe Ευρώπη, means the woman with wide vision or the woman that can see everything. Euris, ευρύς in Greek means wide, and -ωπή from the verb οπέω opèo or opò meaning to see and it refers to the eye socket.
All Europeans should be fully conscious and deeply proud of their ancient origins and their inspiring art, culture and architecture. Overall, Europeans themselves are often beautiful looking people. Even more significantly, as ancient writers pointed out, there is the deep rooted Western belief in personal freedom, which clearly hails from the proto-democratic cultures of the ancient Greeks and Latins, as well as amongst the Germanic tribes of Northern Europe.
By contrast the ancient empires of the Middle East did not take on board the concept of the freedom of the individual. Sadly, this deficit is surely evident to this day amongst the violent, repressive, impoverished and generally dysfunctional Islamic countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The Muslim conquest of these regions in the 7th century AD and the destruction of Greco-Roman and Christian (ie Western) culture has set back human freedom and accomplishment in these deeply unhappy areas over many centuries, right up to our own time.
This is another wonderful symposium from Fortress of Lugh, with beautiful images of Europe and Europeans.
Yes, because forcing others to be tenants and slaves is really the definition of freedom and democracy.

It's funny how Europe is always an "idea", but never Africa or Asia.
It's coming from the same ppl that clamor about diversity. At its root it is all anti-white bullshit.
Tactics used by the media to give Europe no bounds so as to divide people and break European identity
What
The border between Europe and Asia itself is just an idea. In reality it is a single continent.
"... Europe is always an "idea", but never Africa or Asia"
Where ever have you gotten such a weird idea?
Asia and Africa are some of the most powerfully ideas in European culture. mainly because of the uter ignorance that european had about those places. And even after the age of exploration, those influences were amplified in an almost exponential way.
Those "ideas and myths" have influence in every aspects of European views of the world since forever.
I am doubting if you are European if can have such thoughts. Are from the US or something like that?
We also have some "ideas" about those places.
So, i'm from northern Portugal. You said in the video that Spaniards had low steppe ancestry, but my ancestry test shows i am R1b with arround 40% steppe ancestry. How can it be? I have dark eyes like european farmers, but medium light hair, 1,80 cm height and pale skin which match yamnaya reconstructions, and also lactose tolerant, maybe you were refering to southern iberians.
I'm guessing here, but northern Portugal was once home to the Suabian (Suavian) Germanic kingdom. Also, weren't there alot of Celts and Celtiberian tribes in that area? The Visigoths had most of the Iberian Peninsula as their kingdom.
Also, for a time the Alans (Iranic) and Vandals controlled Iberia before being ousted by the Visigoths.
I think in Portugal there is a big mastiff dog breed called Alano, a descendent of war dogs.
At least until the muslims invaded.
@@erichtomanek4739 muslims had almost no impact on the genetics, specially in the North, since they came only a moorish elite and converted the local population to islam.

Yes.
Why Crete (pronounced Creet) but Cretan (pronounced Crettan).🤯
@@adventussaxonum448 Idk, that is terrible pronunciation tho! 🤷🏻♂️
Very intresting mate
The oldest, by far, civilisations known and proven today are on the lower Danube, mostly in current Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Serbia. Aprox 6000 B.C. Look for Cucuteni and Turdas-Vinca. Amazing arts and even a primitive form of writting, on Tartaria tablets, which is sustained by recent discovery. At least 13 layered large city walls burned successively. Some of the greek gods are of Tracian origin, much older.
I would like you to make a video on origin of the Dane
Origin of the Dane: Mars😂
I am an Roman Catholic with celtic past.
Celts went to middke Anatilia from Balkans when fighting with Alexander the great and form their own city
Can you make a Video of all Italic Tribes.
Bulgarian as first,who settled in Europe. Urupa, Uyropa Юрупа means beautiful in old Bulgarian. There's a legend about girl Europe that was brought here from the South.
Wow. Nationalistic lies.
My Ancestry DNA report reflects much of what the video points out: my family is from Southern Italy. There is Western Hunter Gatherer DNA and Neolithic DNA likely from Anatolia or northern Syria. But no R1b or other Indo-European DNA.
Which dna service tells you which haplogroups you are? Mine only said I am 100% northwestern European. Mainly English Irish Scandinavian and broad Western European

Il sud italia non è una macroregione. ogni regione ha subito dominazioni diverse. idem per il nord.
@@all4one5The haplogrous says nothing.
Greetings Fortress of Lugh,I am a huge fan of your work, I love it so much, your a breath of fresh air from your average boring history channel. I was wondering if you would make a video on Japan 🇯🇵 one of these days? I understand that you focus mainly on Europe, however I am a lover of all things Japanese and I would love nothing more than one of my favorite history channels to make a dedicated video on Japan 🇯🇵. Thank you 😊
You are ignoring the ETRUSCANS ÀND
ETRURIA. WHY?
They are the indigenous people of Italy right?
yes, with high amounts of the eef component @@andreamessiasgomes7118
None of this is true! German and other chronicles called the Hungarians Parthians. The Parthians were not Persians!
The Etruscans are not indigenous to Italy. The Carpathian basin is the homeland of the Etruscans.
Why do you show maps of modern greece instead of the map of the greeks of the time? it's misleading as western Anatolia and southern Italy is a more relevant representation.
FACTS !!! Also, he mentions the country of 🦃iyeye multiole times when talking about Antiquity! 🤣
Ephesus (/ˈɛfɪsəs/;[1][2] Greek: Ἔφεσος, translit. Éphesos; Turkish: Efes; may ultimately derive from Hittite: 𒀀𒉺𒊭, romanized: Apaša) was a city in Ancient Greece[3][4] on the coast of Ionia, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southwest of present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. It was built in the 10th century BC on the site of Apasa, the former Arzawan capital,[5][6] by Attic and Ionian Greek colonists. During the Classical Greek era, it was one of twelve cities that were members of the Ionian League. The city came under the control of the Roman Republic in 129 BC.
The city was famous in its day for the nearby Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), which has been designated one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[7] Its many monumental buildings included the Library of Celsus and a theatre capable of holding 24,000 spectators.[8]
Ephesus was recipient city of one of the Pauline epistles; one of the seven churches of Asia addressed in the Book of Revelation;[9] the Gospel of John may have been written there;[10] and it was the site of several 5th-century Christian Councils (see Council of Ephesus). The city was destroyed by the Goths in 263. Although it was afterwards rebuilt, its importance as a commercial centre declined as the harbour was slowly silted up by the Küçükmenderes River. In 614, it was partially destroyed by an earthquake.
Today, the ruins of Ephesus are a favourite international and local tourist attraction, being accessible from Adnan Menderes Airport and from the resort town Kuşadası. In 2015, the ruins were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The great statesman Churchill said “we are comprised of Europe but not compromised by her”
Pretty sure my Gaelic family says Europe was named after Epona.
That's an interesting speculation.
Lol what would the Gaels know? They were in the backwaters, even the Romans couldn't be bothered to settle amongst them.
