Who were the Picts?

  • The term ‘Dark Ages’, while really intended to refer to the supposed cultural, economic and social decline of Europe in the centuries following the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, is quite apt in another sense - the period can be described as ‘Dark’ because, for certain geographical areas, it is rather difficult to work out what exactly was going on.
    It was into this slightly mysterious period, in the north of Scotland, that the Picts emerge into the historical record. First named in late Roman sources, this hard to define people slowly grew in power to dominate the farthest northern and eastern reaches of Great Britain, even extending their political influence over the whole of the territory that we now refer to as Scotland. Their power was doubtless considerable, their kings mighty - yet the picts leave precious little behind. By examining what few sources we have, the latest archaeological discoveries, and the material culture the Picts left behind, we can attempt to answer the question: Who were the Picts?

      Hadrian's Wall was as much about keeping the army busy than a customs barrier whilst providing a bit of employment for the locals.
      Due to a lack of activity since opening 19 years previously, the Romans moved up another 100 miles and built another cross country wall, the Antonine.
      The resources to be had up there weren't worth the effort, though.

      I always envision the Romans saying this as the native Scots/Picts/Celts come running down the hill, naked bodies painted blue, hair bleached with urine, playing bagpipes.

Regarding the Pictish language being theorised as a Pre-Indo European language (34:03 timestamp), what is the distinction between that possibly being a Pre-Proto-Indo-European language? I'm curious as to the timeline, as it seems that the name of Pre-Indo/Pre-Proto strongly relates to the timeline of language being developed.

    Who were the Picts?
    As one of the last Pictush scientists, I answer:
    They were most likely the descendents of Insular Celts right-through. Saying they were just Britons is incorrect, not only considering their look, but also considering their language, which is of course not Brythonic. And not Irish. Picts just were Picts. That's the right answer.

    And the most likely theory about Picts is multicultural. The Pictland had 3 languages and cultures -
    1. Western Pictish, shich was mainly Gaelic
    2. Eastern Pictish, which was mainly Brythonic
    3. Northern Pictish, which was non-IE
    This theory is actually mathcing all the places and holes. It literally can explain everything, and, of course, it is most likely the true one.

  • @Edarnon_Brodie

    Pictish had an influence of non-IE language, seems like it wasn't similar to Basque, but to Finnish and Hebrew. Yes, the last one is actually is 100% true, I was even able to find many semitic words in Pictish, even a semitic ending "-lv" (which can be found in oghams).

    I love the Picts! I found them through reading Bran Mak Morn, a character from the same creator as Conan the Barbarian, Robert E Howard from Texas, where I'm also from.
    Then I came to find out Bran Mak Morn is loosely based on one of these Bridei kings...and then come to find out my name (Brady) might actually connect etymologically to the name Bridei?? And my mother's side is Scottish...maybe some atavism or genetic memory kickin' in? Haha. I was also obsessed with the Loch Ness monster as a kid, reading every book and watching every documentary I could find...but only recently found the St Columbo story with the River Ness beast episode and then him going to meet another king Bridei (Brady) to convert him.
    I found claims that this St Columbo story mirrors or even pays homage to some of the St Patrick myths, where Patty is slaying lake monsters hundred years+ earlier. There is some church propaganda intentions potentially with this in the story of Colombo but I was interested in what story did the Columbo story "replace"? It seems that many of the Patrick-slaying-lake-monster myths are reworking over older pagan ones but that's where it gets reaaaally hairy trying to find originals. Found old texts that off hand say "the locals say this is what the legend used to be before patrick" and I can't find it in the usual Fenian publication stuff so....? Help! Lol.
    The Pictish beast has to be one of my favorite mysteries, especially since compared to all the other easily recognizable animals, it makes one wonder just what were they going for?

    Bede was telling tales he had heard hundreds of years after the events took place. He often confused the names of places and seemingly changed the tales to fit his own ideas and religious beliefs. He was obviously biased, yet his writings are still quoted by many scholars. Is it because of the dearth of other sources or religious bias, or something else? I wonder if he was just telling stories to attempt to explain things or making up his own 'facts' .

      The dearth of sources. The only other historian of Early Medieval Britain before the reign of Alfred the Great was Gildas, who died about a hundred years before Bede was born. In fact, much of what Bede has to say is a quotation of Gildas, who was one of Bede's main sources! Imagine living in world where the turnover for new historical literature was almost two hundred years. Yeah, the Dark Ages were real, and it was caused by the fall of Rome in the West.

    Little known fact: According to a folio presumably authored by Ezrael Ben Garamel (a contemporary of Josephus) which was recently discovered in exceptional condition by Slovenian archeologists in the Jordan Valley in 2019, the Picts were described to wear phrygian caps and were actually well known and referred to by the Romans as "Smurvii" stemming from the Latin root word "smerve" for a certain wild berry assumed to be either the common blueberry or juniper berry, both of which grow in abundance in the greater Hebrides area. Interestingly enough, Ezrael further described how the strongest and wisest of the Smurvii was elected as Chief of the warriors donning a crimson phrygian cap and was reverently referred to as "Na Bopah Smurv" or "Great Father".

Scythian heritage is not Celtic. The Lord was setting up thrones for the descendants of Hercules in Pictavia... Hercules was Samson of the Bible. Anyone of Scythian heritage is a lost Jew.

      Jews were Iberian Celts, Scythians came from the same root but are innovations via the Pontic Steppe, with more Eurasian DNA. They conquered the Mediterranean around 2000BC thanks to their use of horse and chariot
      They occupied Egypt from the Intermediate to the 18th Dynasty,.when Moses Arkenaten found refuge in exile with the Scythian Hyksos that Ahmoses had kicked out
      Joshua followed, as Tutmoses III and then Rameses as David, forming an alliance with Assyria forming Phoenicia
      Phoenicia is israel, Canaan has the same root as Kenna and McKenna, Macdonald roots to Macedonia, Adonis being King Arthur Odin Thor etc

      Graecae were Celtic Tribes, the Greeks were an offshoot. Pythagoras means 'Heart of the Serpent', he was born in Sidon, a fishing Port in Phoenicia. His mother received a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi that he would become a great Leader & Teacher. Sidon means 'Kingdom of the Fish', & the Essenes, who wrote the Dead Sea scrolls, worshipped Pythagoras. The Sarcophagus of Eshmun III found in Sidon names him as the 'Widow's Scion', aka Hiram Abiff, Founder of Freemasonry, of which Tyre was the premier Capital (at least equal to Thebes).
      In 911BC Rameses II married the Queen of Sidon, home of Jezebel (Daughter or consort of Baal, ie "Queen") founding Neo Assyrian Babylon, an alliance between Egypt & Hiram, Father of Jezebel, & King of Assyria; forming the Phoenician colonies, & building the Temple of Melqart to commemorate their alliance.
      The Si in Sidon is the basis of the Latin Exe, or X, and is the basis of the Cross, or Chi Rho that Constantine painted on his shields. Also known as the Cross of Tyre, or Cross of Baal, being Ra-El, or Ba'El. Using Euler's number to map irrational numbers also produces a Templar Cross: ie where Eclipses are most likely to occur, called the 'Saros' Cycle. This cross can also be seen around the neck of Nimrod in Assyria, consistent with the Union Jack, & Solstice Calendar found in the Vatican's Shiva Lingam. Shiva is the Hebrew word for 7, & their culture also found its way to Korea & Japan (via the Philippines) ultimately becoming Shintoism.
      It was the Phoenicians who gave their name to the Pole Star, _Phoenice,_ which they used to Navigate the Oceans using the Zodiac, that's what the Antikythera mechanism was for, & with it they wrote the Byblos Baal; what we now call the Bible. The first form of the Bible was written in 325BC & called 'Vaticanus Graecus', or 'Son of the Sacred Serpent', ie Sirius, the basis of the Sothic Calendar, which uses a Hex Decimal & base 60 system found in all Megalithic sites around the world.
      In the second century AD the Astronomer Valentinus Vettori transcribed it into a Lunar chart of 13 houses, what we now call the Zodiac. Horoscope means 'Star Watcher', or 'Time Keeper' & the Phoenician word for Saturn, or El, was *_Israel_* or _El,_ (Fruit) of Isis (Ishtar) & (Amin) Ra. Equally El is the 'Father' of Ra the Sun, & Consort of Isis the Earth Mother, ergo _'El Ptah'_ is the *Moon* or Set.
      Phoenicia was the interim between Egypt & Greece, with artisans & culture exceeding that of the Greeks, whom literally adopted the Phoenician Alphabet, which we still use to this day; sounding out words phonetically. 'Phoenician' is alliterated in 'Venetian', & 'Vikings', being Kings of the Sea, [Sea Pharoahs]
      El is the primary God of the Phoenicians, representing the offspring of Egypt, & his consort Astarte or Ishtar represents the Assyrian half of the alliance. Such lineages & alliances can be traced (through the naming of gods) to Ireland & the Vikings, Indonesia, the Americas; even as far away as Australia, & New Zealand.
      It denotes Sirius as 'Son' of Orion & Pleiades, which sits at 33 degrees of the Zodiac. The basis of the Sothic (Seth) Decan Calendar of the Egyptians. The New Moon in this position marks Rosh Hashanah, the Egyptian, Celtic, Phoenician, & Assyrian New Year, with the first New Moon of September, so called as it's the 7th House of the Zodiac, when the Sun is in Ophuichus.
      'Phoenix', 'Benben', or 'Bennu', is Egyptian for 'Heron', or Feathered 'Serpent'. It baptised itself in frankincense & myrrh at Baalbek, then alights atop the Great Pyramid, upon the Holy Grail, or Altar of Ra, every 630 years to take three days off the calendar; during the course of the first New Moon of Nisan, which means 'Prince'. The Capstone of Pyramids is even called the Benben or Bennu.
      The Phoenix is found in all religions, which are all Astrological Allegory for the Moon travelling through the Constellations as a soul migrating from body to body. Thus is the basis of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, or 'Hero's Journey' with the cycles & orbits of the planets serving as portents, omens, allies, etc. Thus Astrology was the Science of the Bronze Age & Reincarnation was the early teaching of the Gnostic Christian Church, & relates to the lineage of Kings: "The Pan is Dead! _Long live Pan!"_
      The Bennu is the Egyptian Phoenix, to Phoenicians the Hoyle, Etruscans saw birds as sacred too, as did Celts, & Picts. Hebrew & Iberia have the same root; meaning _'over'_ ie _'overseas'_ or 'those [whom travel] over [the] sea'. A colony called Iberia also appeared on the Eastern shores of the Black Sea, with the same Dolmen & Megalithic culture originating in Ireland and Brittany circa 4500BC.
      _Phoenician_ means 'Scion of the Phoenix', the first Bible: Vaticanus Graecus; 'Scion of the Sacred Serpent' (Prince). Then there's the Essenes; :Sons of Light', the Tuatha De Danaan; Sons of Light, Anunnaki; Sons of Light, Arthur Pendragon; Arthur [Thor] 'Son of the Dragon'. Chertoff is Russian for "Son of the Devil" & Dracula also means 'Scion of the Dragon'. Masons call themselves the "Brotherhood of the Great White Serpent", & the Ziggurat of Anu denotes her as a great white Serpent too, while at New Grange & the Bru na Boinne, Ireland (4000BC) the white quartz ramparts also denote the Moon. The Moon itself travels either side of the Solar Elliptic by 5 degrees through specific constellations in a serpentine fashion that is always changing, but repeats every 19 years, the time it took to train a Druid or Magi, Magi meaning 'Teacher'. The Phoenix is also associated with this sacred number 19.
      "Pharoah" means 'Great House' or 'House of Light' & Cairo used to be called Babel. Pharaohs were called 'Commander in Chief' & wore a hooded crown representing feathers, as do Native American Chiefs, ie the Feathered Serpent. Aztecs also had 'Serpent Kings', (Canaan means Serpent Kings, & Sidon was a Son of Canaan & Great Grandson of Noah) who were called to lead with "cunning & guile" being the virtue of their "right to rule"; being seen as "just" in public, while shrewd in private. "As wise as Serpents, (while appearing as) _gentle_ as Doves." The old Egyptian flag of an Eagle holding a Snake is also reflected in the Modern Mexican flag, denoting the Constellations of Serpentis (13th sign of the Zodiac) and Aquila.
      The dimensions & 12 mathematical constants of the Great Pyramid are also expressed in New Grange, & Stonehenge, as well as in Watson Brake, (2500BC) & Teotihuacan, which correlates to the Phoenician/ Sumerian Seximal system, which is what our modern systems of time are based on, unlocking a fractal pattern reflected in the musical chord, electrical resistance, relative Planetary orbits, indeed; throughout _all_ creation.
      Officially no one knows who invented Astrology, the Zodiac, navigation by the stars, or time keeping. But whoever built the pyramids, & pioneered the 24hr clock in Egypt 5000 years ago already knew the exact dimensions of the Earth, & the speed of light. Because these can all be calculated using these Megalithic sites as a Surveyor use a Theodolite. Specifically at Teotihuacan; 230 degrees opposite Cairo, & with the exact same footprint. The ideal positions to determine the speed of light using the transit of Venus, allowing for accurate Longitude for Maritime navigation. Capt Cook did the same thing in 1774 when he 'discovered' Easter Island.
      The only culture that fits the bill was wiped out "not one stone upon the other" by the Romans in 146BC. Tyre, the capital of Phoenicia (Israel) sat just offshore from Ursu Salaam: City of the New Moon; City [or 'Rock'] of Peace; root of the name _'Jerusalem'_ & was also seized by Rome in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege. The gap between is 216 years (6x6x6).
      Greek Dionysians built the Temple of Solomon (now called the Temple of Melqart) representing the Solar Lunar (Solomonic) Metonic Calendar on which this system is based. They also carried mirrors, a practice associated with Magi, Druids, Greeks, & Egyptian scholars. These Mirrors are Astrological charts called 'Cycladic _Pans'_ & record the cycles of the planets. The first Temple of Melqart ( Phoenician Horus, Hercules, Pan, Thor) represents the 13th Constellation of Ophiuchus or 'Serpent Bearer' (hence Orphic Serpent worship) & had pillars of Emerald (Jasper) & Gold, ie Isis (Tree of Life) and Osiris (Tree of Knowledge). The Jerusalem Temple only took payment in "Shekels of Tyre" a currency minted during the Jewish rebellion against Rome, hence _"give that which is Caesar's unto Caesar"_
      When Alexander sacked Tyre in 332BC they moved to Carthage meaning "New City" or New Jerusalem, & built a second temple with Pillars of Bronze. Nebuchadnezzar also sieged Tyre for 13 years, taking the City captive in 573BC: the same time as the biblical account of the Jews, (& again the Romans in 70AD after a 3.5 year siege, also consistent with the same biblical accounts).
      Palaset was the name of a tribe of the Sea Peoples, Pallas _Set_ denotes the New Moon of Ammun Ra rising in Gemini, the *Pallas* Constellation of the Twins "that stand before Orion", due West of the Temple between the Gates [Pillars] of Gibraltar; "Gabriel's Altar", ie 'Pallas Stein', or Pallas Stone, 'Phallus' or Philosopher's Stone: the _"Rising Son"._ So 'Wormwood', like 'Tyre' means 'Bitter Rock', for the same reason; as the Son rising from the 'Bitter' [Salt or 'Black'] Sea of the Underworld; The 'Black Rock' or 'Gatestone' 🌑
      The Cross of Tyre or Ba'El ❌ represents Lunar maximums & minimums & correlates with the Cross Quarter days of the Solstice Calendar. Align the Cross ❌ Chi Rho Christian ✝️ & Star 🔯 to the Zodiac, & you have a Compass & Timepiece that correlates to the Nautical Mile; allowing for global Maritime navigation.
      It is in fact an Astrological allegory for a Sothic Metonic Saros Zodiac Calendar using Accusations in a Mirror 🪞
