Ancient Sardinia

  • One of the ancient peoples of Europe, the Sardinians hold a special place in the world's genetic, linguistic, and historical record. This island was claimed in antiquity by the Bell Beaker people, the Ozieri, and the mysterious Nuragic empire with their tremendous towers and structures called nuraghe, some of which are among the oldest surviving structures in the world.
    More recently, Sardinia was claimed by the Greeks and the Phoenecians, the Romans and Carthaginians, the Vandals and Ostrogoths... The rich history of their unique language, perhaps the only one in Europe related to proto-Basque, and their genetic lineages that preserve Western European Farmer ancestry thousands of years after the rest of Europe had been influenced by steppe haplogroups, make the modern Sards some of the most ancient people we know.

      (see below, English Male DNA) 🗝️
      The true post flood *"Original People's in the Region, are the Basque and Etruscans",* prior to the migration of some Greeks, and the aggressive movement of the Germanics, which are recognized as the origin of the Romans.
      This perspective is supported by DNA, yet remains a vague subject, likely due to the greater population of Europe and Britiana being Germanic: Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, Romans, Vikings, Nords,
      Dissecting the Germanic DNA is a subject that just struck my interest:
      🗝️ *"For it is obvious in the "Mainstream Academic's" ignoring, that the British DNA demonstrates a less than 2% of the original English Male/Paternal remains in Britain." This literally defined "Ethnic Cleansing of English Males" and to the extent that all known English Adult, Child, and Male Babies we're removed, whether by sold into slavery, or execution, and there's no evidence for slavery, or appearance of this DNA elsewhere, to date.*
      *This subject is stated in findings, but beyond the numbers, it is fully ignored, as far as my searches have resulted.*

      Many is an understatement, pretty much every single inhabited village inland is surrounded by relics of some kind.
      There was a large system of towers and forts as well, many still stand, and if there's an ancient church in the middle of nowhere it's likely there's temples or graveyards or holy wells around it, if they're not still buried below it that is.

    @hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    There is far too little historical material on Sardinia available in english. The Nuragic civilization is especially fascinating, I find. Thank you for posting this!
    If I may suggest a counter-argument to something mentionned in the opening of the video, seeing Sardinia as having the shape of a footprint seems to me like it requires a top-down map-based view of the world that is fundamentally modern. It is often stressed how ancient Peoples viewed their world in a much different way than we do today. To me, this could suggest a modern origin to this idea, a modern scholar looking at a map, noticing the shape, making a linguistic connection and suggesting it as a possible origin for the name.
    I'm no historian though and there is nothing academic about this argument. It simply occured to me. If the basis for the footprint hypothesis is more solid than I believe, I'll gladly accept any correction to my statement.🙂

    • @lucaloddo825

      The Greek names Ichnusa and Sandalion both refer to the shape of the island (which seems to resemble a sandal), although Greeks knew Sardinia also by Argyrotepsis Nesos (Island of the silver veins), punics also named it Kadossene (Island of the miracles), while Romans ended up adopting the latinized form of the indigenous name, "Sardinia", from SRDN (Sardan-), such name is found in the Stele of Nora (the oldest document of Western medi) and aswell in the Egyptian inscriptions under the same form. The name means "Land of Sardo" or "Island of Sardo", the latter was the god of sardinians from which both their land and people take the name, such god will be known by punics as Sid Addir Baab (Sid - Poweful - Ancient), by Romans as Sardus Pater (Father of Sardinians).

There are so many crappy, poorly or, even, not at all researched, pseudo - history channels out there, that this has always just been a wonderful treat!
    Hey...just a question: I particularly loved Nick's interviews with academics, archaeologists and historians! Do you think you'll do more of those, in the future? His episode on Bronze Age Pylos, with Theo Nash, was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I would SO love to see more talks with Mr. Nash, on Bronze age Greece! He will make many students a great professor/lecturer! I watch MANY lectures - one of and entire semesters, or quarters - with of lectures, and I know that some are good at it and some, however fantastic a scholar they may be, lecturers, they're not. Mr. Nash, and all of the other academics with whom Nick did great interviews/programs, are all people I - and, I'm sure, many of us - would love to hear from/see again!
    BTW, D.W. you are a GREAT NARRATOR!! It's so refreshing to hear, in this day and age - especially, sadly, when so many people have channels which, even when the history is, on rare occasion, correct, and when their scripts aren't, flat out, plagiarized, they, still, have so many mispronounciations, of, even, BASIC words, that it is just unbearable - and, annoying beyond belief - to listen. Their general sloppiness, laziness and lack of basic knowledge irritates me. I don't know why, but I guess I'm picky, in that I expect my history documentaries to be filled with information that is well researched - or, that is, properly researched, to begin with - read in an intelligent manner, with correctly pronounced words, and by a person who sounds as if they understand what they're saying/talking about, and from a script that hasn't been plagiarized - especially one that's not blatantly plagiarized from Michael Wood or the BBC, but, because they're an ignorant gen z, they think they can take credit for it - even to the point of gushing over compliments of "their" writing - without anyone knowing that they're thieves. SMH.
    THE ONLY CHANNEL I'VE FOUND THAT SATISFIES MY, APPARENTLY (I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO FIND) UNREASONABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARIES I WATCH - ALL OF THEM - IS THIS ONE!!!!! ON TOP OF THAT - SCORE!!! - D.W., ALSO, HAS THE GREATEST, MOST SOOTHING, WONDERFUL, INTELLIGENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CALMING VOICE I'VE HEARD IN YEARS!! D.W., YOU RANK UP THERE WITH THE ALL TIME BEST BBC, PBS AND OLD (FROM THE DAYS WHEN THEY STILL ACTUALLY DID HISTORY)HISTORY CHANNEL, AND, EVEN, 1960'S AND 1970'S NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DOCS!!! YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GIFT!!! AFTER ALL, ALL HISTORY LOVERS KNOW THAT THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN TO FIND A FAVORITE HISTORY DOC, WITH A GREAT NARRATOR, TO PUT ONE OFF INTO THE BEST, LOVELY AFTERNOON NAP OR GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP, LISTENING TO YOUR FAVORITE SUBJECT TOLD BY ONE OF THOSE GREAT NARRATOR'S VOICES. YOU ARE UP THERE WITH THE BEST, D.W.! I JUST HOPE YOU DON'T LEAVE US WHEN PBS SNATCHES YOU UP!!!
    💖💖🙏🙏 LOVE AND BEAUTIFUL BLESSINGS TO YOU AND NICK'S FAMILY - WE'RE ALL PULLING FOR YOU, LOVE, AND KNOW HOW STRONG YOU'RE HAVING TO BE, BUT SEND OUR LOVE!!💖
    HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM L.A.

    Sardinia is spoken of in HaYashar
    Says that the original Hamilcar had a brother named Lukush (Lucius).
    Hamilcar Barqa is actually just his title, not his name. It translates to ‘The King [of the] Place [of] Boats’
    ..his name was Angias.
    His brother’s son was named Giv’losh, which is Gaius Lucius.
    This Hamilcar was the original ‘Heracles’. The Libyan/Tunisian Hercules. A king who took Yaniyah (Juno) as wife and built her an aqueduct across the Gibraltar to bring her water from her homeland
    ..these were the actual ‘Pillars of Hercules’.
    Yaniyah was the daughter of Utzu who was a king that was deified during his lifetime. The king at Kupatitzia (treasury place of Utzu) aka: Capitoline hill
    ..yes, Utzu was the man who became the myth called Saturn. Saturnalia was his day.
    Anyway, back to Sardinia. The prince has to go to war in Southern Italy against a man named Turgos on the plains of Campania. They both died in battle and 2 ‘nuraghe’ were built for them as grave sites
    ..one across a road from the other. It was the main highway. The road called the High Way. The Appian Way. It was their graves that began the tradition of nuraghe along that road.
    So much history was rewritten by later Romans to hide their origins. The elites trace their bloodline back to Tunisia (Carthage) and others to Macedonia & Ionia before that. Some were the Chittim who were called the ‘Spear People’ (HaRomakh in Hebrew).
    HaYashar confirms all this. Check out Trimm’s translation. It’s fascinating👍🏼
