There is no day on which I don't thank my indo-aryan ancestors for the gift of lactose tolerance.
Indo-Aryan language speakers are found across the modern-day regions of Bangladesh, southern-Nepal, eastern-Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and northern-India
@@sixxfinga1864 Yes, I do recognize them as my (very) distant kin.
Indeed. I like me some 🥛 and good 🧀
Aka cheeseheads... from france to the outter islands where its too fucking cold!
Lactose tolerance came from indo-europeans, not indo-aryans or indo-iranians, those were later people's descended from indo europeans who owed their lactose tolerance to the yamnaya of the ukranian steppe.
One small steppe for man, one giant steppe for mankind.
As an Iranian I appreciate you for this beautiful video and narration sir.
I wish there weren't such political and religious conflicts which separate us apart.
Besides for those who interested in mythology I recommend to read SHAHNAMEH by great poet FERDOUSI especially the first half of it. I think you will find much more culteral similarities.
Indo-Europeans are the scourge of the planet, coming from the European continent being originally white and having birthed Western civilization. They are objectively inferior race to the Asiatics i.e. Turkics, Mongolics, Tungusics, Koreanics, Japonics, Sino-Tibetans, Hmong-Miens, Kra-Dais, Austroasiatics and Austronesians having originated in East Asia and birthed the Eastern world.
Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. There's not such thing as "Europe", it is a fake continent, fake identity, etc. It's all Asian btw.
Whites/Westerners/Indo-Europeans are the sub-humans and no CIA or NATO bots can convince otherwise.
I don't think we are as separated or different as our governments want us to be. Every Iranian I have ever met, or worked with, have been great people. I liked them very much, I think we can come together, despite whatever superficial differences that exist. The problem is a few people with too much power, who want to divide and conquer the world, and control everyone.
The usual suspects!@@huwhitecavebeast1972
If religion had not been invented or was abolished, you would have had many more friends but I can be your friend because I know religion is all nonsense. I am highly intelligent and don't seek power over others. I am Welsh and Wales never had an empire.
Religion seems to be going away, I hope in the future people will be less concerned about that
3:00 - Lomonosov was born in a small village of Denisovka (Archangelgorod governorate), not in St Petersburgh although he died there. I am Slovakian living in Ireland, and we have a word for snow - 'sneh' . In Irish gaelic snow - 'sneachta' which I found very interesting.
Lomonosov was born in the village Mishaninskaya (now it is called Lomonosovo) near Kholmogory, Arkhangelsk region. But the most of his life he spent in St Petersburgh and he died there.

It would be interesting to look into the word's
like "Bela veverica" which is a white squirrel in Russian. How did they know a word for " veverica"? Russians migrated from the Balkans, where they could see brown squirrel When ice started to melt and running away from the invaders from the east which were trilled with civilisation along Danube river, ie. Vinca civilisation from 8500 to 3500 BC. The original people , in particular males disapeared in mass,so only 30% of them survived. They ran away ,some all the way to India , where they participated in development of Hindu valley civilization . They learned sanscrit and eventually returned home via Persia.
Its modern technics used ,like DNA, C14, paleo linguistic, satellite images in UV and other frequencies , etc , which help us in interpreting our antient past. No doubts there were previous civilisations well developed before the big floods 11700 BC.
For example ,studying old Hindu Vedas written in Sunscrit, they found a Planc constant exressed in figures that Planc calculated only in the 1920s. There are
many other examples that aren't answered, which become more clear when we agree that we are not the smartest humans . It was and still is that human greediness and cruelties are prevailing.
It's only humans that kill for pleasure .
Sneeuw in Dutch, Snee in German sounds very similar.
SNEG in Slovenian, Snjeg Croatian, CHER IN Serbian / in Cyrillic, Sneg in Latin alphabet, Snieg in Polish,.....most Slavic languages, Sanskrit ; zima / winter also Hima /Zima ,in Slovenian,
Apparently Its Slovenian and Latvian that are most similar to Sanscrit.
How and why, I'm not sure. Various different theories are circling around.

Totally agree, great research and presentation.
It seems like quality if you don't already know history.
@deadfrom some comments, some people know no history.docreallydeaddoc5244
look, think like an anthropologist. We've discovered the Yamnaya were almost exclusively horse hunters who evolved into horse herders, the refuse pits from the areas they came together in seasonally are pretty definitive, both on their diet and the appearance of bridle and bit marks on horse corpses, so we know roughly when domestication happened (Google that research). We know from reconstructing ancient genomes (from teeth) that wherever they went, once they had chariots to crush any neolithics, from east to west across Europe, that the Y chromosomes changed in a generation when they moved west, but the X chromosomes remained the same, exactly like horse herds work. Both the language and culture also seemed to change in a generation, previous languages in Europe did not influence the Indo-European languages at all, which they would have if they coexisted for generations in any area, which points to the first generation after I E arrival not speaking their mother's language. So, how do you pull THAT off without enslaving the locals and cutting off a lot of tongues and balls, after killing off anyone over 20?!?
That's certainly not how wolf genes spread, the females disperse for wolves, but that IS how horse genes spread, via young males leaving their home looking for other males to combat for their females. Duh, Indo Europeans adopted a patriarchal societal structure similar to how a horse herd works, one breeding male controls all breeding females, all sons must leave and find their own herd to conquer by killing the dominant male somewhere else, or kill their own father, something the Hittites had a real problem with. One note, the Hittites were famously kin slayers, their ruling class recorded a lot of fratricide and patricide, and whatever Fathers killing Sons is called, it goes with that societal structure, and also backs my thesis. After centuries of being interdependent with horses, it's not a stretch.
This wolf thing is sheer speculation, the animist beliefs we know from native Americans that do revere wolves, bears, etc, were likely there millennia before they became specialist horse hunters, tho how the hell would we know, all we can do is take what we DO know about IE mythology, from the vedas, Greek and Roman sources, and the Eddas, and work back. Sleipnir sums up I E horse worship, Odin's mythical steed, but the only mythologized wolf we know in I-E Mythology is Fenrir, which contradicts any theorizing about I-E wolf worship, and the Legendary, not Mythological, tale of the founding of Rome, but that is easily dismissed. Where was a wet nurse when Rome's founders were born? No wet nurse points to a band of I-E males expanding around the already established Etruscans from the Alps to Rome, with few women and the horses out of season for lactating, which supports my line of reasoning. Personally, I think the actual wet nurse was a dog, but was switched to a wolf to glamorize it, or they captured a big wolf to get enough milk. And notice the wolf in question has NO magical properties, it's just a wild animal. Not strong evidence for wolf worship by Indo Europeans, just the opposite, so what IS the evidence FOR wolf worship?
Personally, I think anyone trying to protect their herd of horses on the steppes, even before the herds were fully domesticated but after they became specialists in horse hunting, is NOT going to be a fan of wolves at all. That animist belief wouldn't last long once specialist herding of any ungulate started, imho. As a Historian and Anthropologist.
My mother was born near Rezekne Latvija and my father was born in Kolkata India….I feel very lucky to have them as parents….and this video makes me feel connected to something that before I didn’t know existed…the Indo European roots.

Kudos in commendation to your team, yours and yourself for the well researched and articulated content.
I enjoyed this session. Good luck with future presentations.
A fantastic video comprising a lot of what is currently known and openly discussing questions and possible answers.
Russian "mat' " for "mother" you've mentioned was actually even closer to indo-european origin, as there are still words used which have a root "mater' ", like "materinsky".
The same with daughter, which is today "doch", but we still say "docherniy" so obviously it was "docher' " some time ago and it's still traceable.
It's always fascinating how similar most languages are.
Docher relates to tochter in german maybe?
Anyway, 'father' in Slavic languages is: 'OTETS' or ''OYTETS'.
@@dagome_prime tete is french for "head" ...

There are many coincidences in Russian:

and so on for hundreds of words.
Very well-balanced. Excellent work. Subscribed.
As someone who is of Greek, Anatolian and Italian ancestry on one side, and Ukrainian, Polish and Croatian on the other side, I find this video fascinating.

Like others here I feel like this video is completely up to date, cutting the edge and at the same time diplomatic. Really easy to follow and entertaining, I plan on sharing it with friends and family. I’m just a little curious, apart from perhaps a quick visual I didn’t hear any mention of Corded Ware back migration to the east, eventually forming a few different cultures and reaching South Asia. Did you feel it was mentioned in other videos already, or that there may of been other or earlier Yamnaya migrations that contributed to it? Not trying to be critical, I am a huge fan of your videos, just curious.
Thank you
Be critical though. This video is complete bullshit.

Makes one think that the native American peoples may be related to the indo European peoples genetic lyrics and culturally.

No wonder when the western expansion across American great plains humans were so successful and came across quickly it's all part of our human instincts and ancient history. Fascinating to think about.

24:14 It doesn't show that really. Archaeological evidence (in several distinct locales) shows that the earliest wheels come from old Neolithic Europe, central Europe (in Germany or an adjacent country before 3400 BC) prior to the influence of WSH on that region. It appears more likely that the Indo-Europeans learned about wheels from people to their West and then applied their own terminology to the technology. It is likely that Sredny Stog had wagons by that time too but we haven't found them. What we also know for sure is that the people using wagons in central Europe did not have horses and that Sredny Stog/Yamnaya were the first to ride horses. Maybe Sredny Stog had wagons (it seems likely) but we cannot say with any certainty that they invented them and didn't borrow them from the West. However we know that Central Europeans had wagons before Yamnaya existed
Maybe the idea evolved organically in different regions. Like pyramids in Egypt and South America or grinding stones etc...

Highly unlikely that the wheel would be invented in the forests of Germania, by hunter-gatherer people.

The occasional mythic similarities between IE and Sumerian religion may encourage an identification of a PIE origin south of the Caucasus except for the fact that there are equally compelling similarities between IE and Turkic/Siberian religion which has its origin in East Siberia far beyond the furthest influences of any Middle Eastern culture.
Why would cultures beyond pontic steppe had caucasian or sumerian influence without genetic imprint is not adressed too, not mentioning how and why did their Caucasian language even arose. Whats more likely is they intermarried with closest neighbors which happend to be yamnya and had intercultural exchange as did pie in the west like with many of neolithic farmers which presumably their women fancied maintaining previous pottery technology.
I think that either the similarities must go back to an extremely ancient past, or because they are expressing metaphysical truths which ancient people had more limited ways to express, they end up being similar because they are expressing the same concepts.
@@FortressofLugh I agree
I think we all can agree that we know nothing and the miraculous genius who never graduated college, Robert Sephre is correct about everything. Everything in all of history = Aryan. (SARCASM)
Perhaps some of us are unaware that ancient means Black people. According to science there were no nonblack people back further than six to ten thousand years ago. Meaning that so called nonblack people are not human and have no ADAMITE DNA and no natural origins. This might explain why they have stolen everything they have from a particular group of Black people and suffer from antiblack sentiment.
Very nicely presented.
Great finish to the wonderful documentary
This is a fascinating video on a subject rich with history. Beautifully done, thank you. Will re-watch it, probably more than once. Also, for other commenters here, listen to "The History of the English Language Podcast" (it's full title).

Worth every minute.

In Romania i used to grow up in a very flat area, the Bărăgan plains from southerstern part of the country, and there are such rounded "hills" present in many places. I have seen at least a few of them.
There are stories around the locals that they like to share. They say that those rounded small hills are ancient burial sites, like many many years ago somebody was buried undernieth. But nobody seems to care too much about them and nobody seems to dig around to discover what is there.
Just old stories for now.

The Proto-Indo-Europeans were apparently a mixture of foragers from Caucasus and East Europe, and spread from the latter region to the rest of Europe and Asia. These historical migrations are responsible for the current distribution of Indo-European languages in Europe, European Russia, the Iranian cultural region, and the Indian subcontinent.

I’m really enjoying it! I’ve never seen such a deep dive into proto indo-Europeans. I’m not done yet but I really want to tell you how great you’ve done here! I’ve really enjoyed your content but this one is beyond! You’ve clearly put a ton of work into this, so thank you!
Probably the best introductory book on the subject is In Search of the Indo Europeans by J.P. Mallory. Highly recommended.
"The Horse, the Wheel, and Language:
How Bronze-Age Riders From the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World" by
Anthony, David W., more recent than Mallory. IMO, while more technical and academic than Mallory, has the advantage of incorporating the results of Soviet archaeology, in particular the discussion of Sintashta, an archeological site in the Urals, which goes a long way to filling in the gaps in our understanding of the Indo-European expansion into Iran and India 😀 😀😀
@@veritasXXXaequitas thank you so much!!
@@cocoacrispy7802 thank you!!
Read from the original people themselves, read Rigveda.
Great message at the end!
The photography is superb.
In Vedas it is mentioned about Danava, the son of the Goddess Danu ( River Danube).Indo Europeans are children of Danu.
The Indo- Europeans are Thracians.
Overall a great video, however Mikhailo Lomonosov has not been born in St.Petersburg - he lived and worked there as he became close to the Catherine II's court. He was born in the north of Russia in 1711.
Great vid, thank you so much.
This video covers a very specific, concise topic that I've wondered a lot about. There's just these little random topics of history/anthropology and different cultures that I've heard of but don't know a lot about and/or ones usually attached as a background character in a more well known story. You know, like I know a decent amount about Rome but there are all of these groups/cultures/tribes that they encountered, fought with and conquered who don't usually have a lot of time dedicated to them - at least not in my own experience..
Just groups like the Indo-Europeans, the Scythians, the Huns/Mongols/Hungarians, the Uralic people, the Sami/Sampi, all the various steppe and Caucasus people, Iranian type groups for some reason, people from the -stan countries, the Uyghurs, the Basques, the different Goth and Vandal groups, pre-Roman Britons, people from Dalmatia/Pannonia and the Balkans area, the Celts in general and their origins, the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Canaanites - and even stepping outside of Eurasia to like the land of Punt, the origins and genetics of the Australian Aborigines and Pacific Islanders like Rapanui - just on and on.
I'm not sure how I would categorize all of these in a unified way - I guess for those in Europe and Asia, maybe something like, "the history of the Indo-European and Steppe People, their ancestors and descendants, their genetics and culture, and their contribution to later cultures/civilizations"...
But I just have this fascination partly with groups I've heard of but don't really know much/anything about; partly of groups with kind of mysterious origins and/or having a consequential/far-reaching impact on the world; partly with groups who take over after a major empire collapses - like the Germanic people taking over the Western Roman Empire; people with unique genetics and/or who lived in an area of cultural/genetic crossroads (kind of thinking maybe people from like Anatolia). I used to have this huge list written down with dozens of groups of people like these that I wanted to research.
it helps to know these people evolved in the time between 10,000 BC-05,000 BC (more or less)
I'm Armenian, born in the Middle East and lived since childhood in Canada,,, I learned few languages at the same time,,, Armenian, Arabic, French, English and German,,, Studied Archeology,,, And I can connect at least 40 words from Armenian to different European languages, and most of those words are old initial words that humans would of ahd used to express the simplest and basic things in life, including the word Cart, Car which in Armeinan is Garc,,, Beautiful and amazing subject,,, And that proofs humans didn't care about race or color, and shared almost the same language,,,
lol did you watch the video? they shared the language through conquest. i doubt it was any differently than the spanish in the america's conquest
Armenian is an R1b language.
@@danielaortiz8946 Actually R1b is the name of the haplogroup,,, The language is Indo-European, and Armenia stayed as a branch on its own,,,
@@omega2469 Hello, that armenian is an R1b language, is shorthand for, armenian language was founded by R1b speakers, therefore its akin to Latin, and celtic languages, more so than Iranian, or any other R1a language.
@@danielaortiz8946 It makes sense,,, Thanks,
Although this is the best explanation of the history of indo Europeans I've seen so far, it contains so much comparison of competing theories, that i haven't walked away from my first viewing with a clear understanding of the ultimate conclusion. I think the ultimate winner ended up being a marginal theory that the steppe peoples were responsible for the spread of the language, but not the ultimate original source.
Fascinating, thank you !
Ty for this fascinating documentary.
Better than ASMR. I was put to sleep in no time. Was really interesting too .. the parts I heard.
Fuck yeah, thanks for sharing with us Big Dog!
very educational thank you for the analysis
Quite informative video
Fascinating, makes so much sense. Thank you.
Excellent presentation. But I would like to say that I'm pretty sure the rock art at 18:35 is not Indo-European, but ancient American, from Seminole canyon in South Texas.
18:25 Rock art at 18:25 is not Indo-European too. The Altamira Cave paintings date back to at least 13,000 BC, so some 8,000 years before the appearance of the Yamnaya culture.
always a pleasure entering Lughs Round-house and learning :)
Thank you. Very much appreciated. I am not an academic, and left school in England when I was aged 15. I am an elderly lady now.
However, I was gifted in reading and writing, and learned far more after leaving school (through work and reading, discussing etc).
Your video here has lined up with with conclusions I came to. I suspect the Scandinavians chiefly came from Khazaria and Anatolia, with some admix from other European tribes. You have also added to my knowledge, so my thank you is sincere.
Subbed now.
From my studies I saw that ancient Iranian and ancient Irish Celt were the most similar writing. I later read that academics had already noticed that.
Of course though, SumARIA, Aryan (Iran). The later eventually became separate from the former, and my studies also showed how at least some of my pre Roman Briton tribes, Irish Celt, England settled Belgae and probably Pict, had emanated from the Fertile Crescent (probably Europe before that).
I used a wall map and traced my tribes back. I wasn't able to establish a specific connection with Princess Scota (Akhenatens's daughter Merataten) or her large entourage when she travelled to Eire, to marry the King of Tara.
However, there was extensive travelling even millenia ago, using the tides as well as sails and of course oars. Egyptians imported blue wode from Scotland. There is a painting of the god Happi covered in that type off blue, so he possibly used wode. He also covered himself in green.
The Scandinavian Picts gradually came in via Iceland to the top of Scotland. However, some believe they also spent generations in the Fertile Crescent, and again prior to that originated from Europe. I read the Anatolians of the time were tall, fair and had blue and green eyes. Natural sand mummies, and their horses were found around Iran. Men, women and horses wearing armour.
Maybe the same type of people as the people who became the natural mummies of the Tarim Basin. China prevented archaeologists continuing their work when it was found the remains and artefacts were much older than the Han. The CCP then proceeded to plant trees upon the rest of the remains, and because it is now desert they have to irrigate the area. Rather similarly as they have done with the ancient pyramids in what is now China.
Of course, China was tiny millenia ago.
I'm a 65 Yo Scottish Lady, my background very similar, and our ancestors surely crossed paths somewhere along the line 😊🌅
Meds, now!

This is interesting. I’ve been reading a book sort of related to this about haplo groups and people groups from around the world. It’s called Traced Human DNA’s Big Surprise by Nathaniel T. Jeanson. I recommend checking it out.
Jeanson is not a geneticist, not a good choice
Indo-Europeans are the scourge of the planet, coming from the European continent being originally white and having birthed Western civilization. They are objectively inferior race to the Asiatics i.e. Turkics, Mongolics, Tungusics, Koreanics, Japonics, Sino-Tibetans, Hmong-Miens, Kra-Dais, Austroasiatics and Austronesians having originated in East Asia and birthed the Eastern world.
Europe is just a peninsula of Asia. There's not such thing as "Europe", it is a fake continent, fake identity, etc. It's all Asian btw.
Whites/Westerners/Indo-Europeans are the sub-humans and no CIA or NATO bots can convince otherwise.
That was beautifully articulate!
I'd love to see a talk between you and Asha Logos, it would be epic.
My paternal Haplogroup is a variant of R1B. I think it’s so cool to descend from these people. Good job by the way.
It's cool to know, there are nearly 2 billion of us
Not that special, there's millions of Black Africans with that variant. You come from them.

@@jasonhaven7170, its more likely that some of R1Bs migated back and mixed with Africans or Africans received it via colonialism. Why dont have all blacks R1B ?
@@jasonhaven7170 , there is a theory that Berber tribes of North Africa or Sardinians from mediteranen sea who were Indo-European Caucasians migrated in sub-saharan countries and mixed with blacks. Nobody knows if its 100% true. But it would make more sense than blacks being the first with R1B genes. R1B comes from a cousin population to Yamnaya: Corded Ware culture or forest step population. Both were non black. R1B is relatively close related to R1A. And as mentioned prior: Not all sub saharans have R1B.
It' s interesting that Pliny the Elder explained the word "Druid" the ancient Celtic priest as connected to the old Greek as "oak tree" it can be also connected with Albanian word "Dru" that is translated in English "Wood".
Druits derived from the Greek word δρυς δρυίδες.This tree was sacred to the Greeks from the depths of antiquity.
GREEK WORD "DRES" FOR OAK TREE.
PROBABLY THE WORD YOU USE IN ALBANIA , IS GREEK TOO.
There is a word in sanskrt "drudkh" meaning "wood". In my native slovak wood is "drevo", but in our local dialect a piece of wood is called "drúk". It seems literally the same.
@@gregdandoulakis6667every second word in Albanian is from Greek, Serbian or some other europian language. Albanian word for 🐢 is breshkë ( breshk- breg), and this word is directly connected with serbian( slavic) word BREg (hill), becouse turrtel looks as hill that is moving.

Regardless of the content which is fascinating by itself ,the way you narrate the story is very attractive.
This documentary clearly presents the idea of migration. The addition of DNA analysis provides excellent confirmation and correction to earlier assumptions based only on linguistics and physical culture. Evidence from multiple sources gives a much clearer understanding. I realize there is more to understand as research progresses, but these current conclusions are certainly better founded and, well, fascinating! Thank you!
0:22: 🌊 The video explores the significant events that took place in Eastern Europe five thousand years ago, shaping the origins of many people across the world.
5:51: 🌍 The video discusses the ancient belief of common ancestry between Greeks and other European peoples, as depicted in mythology and historical accounts.
11:19: 🌍 Linguists have debated for over a hundred years about a possible connection between Indo-European and Uralic languages, likely due to structural similarities and cognate vocabulary.
16:20: 🌍 Indo-European Warriors settled on the Caspian step and began the dawn of Step pastoralism, expanding their range with the invention of the wheel and the wagon.
22:04: 🐎 The study concluded that the modern domestic horse originated and was domesticated in the Volga Dawn region of Russia, and all domestic horses in the world are related to the horses broken on the step by ancient Indo-Europeans.
27:15: 🗿 The Yamnaya people, who spoke a dialect of proto-indo-european, used tumuli, stone circles, and stone carvings to mark sacred spaces.
32:32: 📚 The video discusses the historical and cultural aspects of tribal alliances and rulers in ancient societies.
37:58: 🔍 The video discusses the migration of Indo-Iranian people and their connection to ancient Sumerian language.
43:19: 🗣 Power and prestige can play an important role in the spread of a language, even if the numbers of speakers are small.

If only the used pictures were as ‘ authentic ‘ as the story itself ( for example using a conestoga wagon as an example how early PIE lived on the steppes )
Classy way to close this one out. I love the work, keep going!
Very good video. I would like to see a list of your sources to dig deeper.
Nice! I've been tryna wrap my head around a small community spreading through an entire continent. What made them so unique? Why did they make technological breakthroughs before others (who perhaps wouldn't have for a long time, without contact with them)? Etc, etc.
So many questions. A fascinating, obscured topic (due to politics, mostly, but also due to historians and archaeologists loving to stick with what they know... ie, outdated textbooks), yet a crucial topic, as it seems to be the cornerstone of pretty much our entire global civilization.
they had spoked wheels, horses and chariots. this made them faster than anyone else on the planet.
@@dracodistortion9447 coupled with a very patriarchal and martial culture compared to the populations they encountered.
@@dracodistortion9447 well, yeah, but that just brings us back to my other question: how did they, and not others, developed such technological prowess?
They spread everywhere because everywhere they went, they could conquer or assimilate.
@@jaxn13 That's interesting, hadn't heard about it. But what sparked their technological development?
