    Whoever thought about combining copper with tin and making bronze must’ve been blessed with some magic knowledge. Or perhaps they did the Bronze Age equivalent of a Southern man looking over at his drinking buddy and saying “wonder what happens if we put these two things together? Hold my beer!” Either way, it’s marvel that bronze was discovered, even if it was superseded by iron and steel.

    It's something I've pondered about for a while, but I think the discovery of metallurgy is easily explicable through pottery culture. Potters are already taking clays and glazes made from various minerals and heating them up to the necessary temperatures to smelt any metal oxides they contain. It's a relatively small leap from there to accidentally making copper or bronze.

    A limping god is actually the ancient god of the dead (the ancestor) , who was the god of just about everything: agriculture, prosperity, crafts, mining (with his little helpers wearing red hats), the Sun, even warfare at some occasions, etc. As I've mentioned in one of my previous comments, the ancients almost never referred to the Gods by name, but in euphemisms. That's why the main Slavic God has many names Veles, Daždbog (Dajbog), Sviatovid, etc. Svarog has absolutely no connection with the Slavic religion or customs, 19th century frauds jumped on the RigVeda hype and started stealing from the Hindus. Celtic buffs would appreciate that one of the names for the God of the dead Serbs preserved until the 19th century was Dagodin. In Serbian and Slavic a word for a God is "Bog", from which we get the word "bogat" meaning "rich". However, one more word is very interesting "bogalj" meaning "a cripple". Also, Germanic Vodan also limps! The ancient God, as was a common belief, would come disguised as a cripple, testing folk's good intentions. It's called a theophany in modern comparative religion. A limping God was the one who came through the chimney on Winter solstice (the holiday has nothing to do with the Sun worship, btw). The limping God (or a God on a limping horse/donkey) is the one who leads the Wild Hunt during mid-February in Serbia (Saint Theodor holiday in Orthodox Church. The ancient Indo-Europeans used to bury their dead in house, beneath the hearth or doorstep. That's why the old God of the dead is connected to fire. To make my comment short, I suggest reading Fustel de Coulanges' "The Ancient City", you'll learn a lot about ancient Indo-European customs, and you'd be surprised how almost everything you were told about the ancients by the mainstream is simply not true. Thank you for the video! Edit: Just checked Serbian dictionary. "Goba" means "a hump" (deformity) but also "gobeljisati" means "hammering" some some parts of the wheel. It may, or may not be related to the topic of the video.

    That is due to the Aryan (now called Indo-European due to Ridiculous Politcal reasons). migration which brought much of their Culture down through central Asia, the Levant and into what the Indus Valley. Which influenced much of Hinduism. There is even caves around Tibet, during the time between transition from Jainism to Buddhism, Showing monks with blonde and red hair and blue or green eyes... They influenced Persia as well, with Iran being Farci for Aryan. Actually, the entire family of languages from the region of Western Europe, Eastern Europe, central Asia, levant, including even Sanskrit ... All except Sumerian, all are born from the Aryan language Family. This Ridiculous Political Pressure to ignore facts, Because some Crazed German guys decided to create a Bastardized mythology based on Fact and Conjecture needs to stop. It is a word...and one black spot of history shouldn't have to the power to cause Scientists to ignore facts. The same goes with the Nazis stealing the swastika and making it backwards. That symbol has been found on every Continent on Earth, save Antarctica.. and the jury is out on that one. It has been Attributed to nearly Every conceivable Ancient Culture there is. From native Americans to East Asian and on both north and south hemisphere. And one 20+ year period of ugliness is supposed to erase THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of years of history? Go to Asia and Buddhist and Hindus still use it to this day. We need to be honest and stop allowing Politcal Pressure to interfere with Science... Because then it is No Longer Actual Science.

    ​@@blahblah6497 The germans in the 30s and 40s had as much right to use it as a symbol as we have today. It is a holy symbol of luck and the eternal procession of nature and of the cosmos. There are examples of Swastika that were used by the germanic peoples in europe, before and during the viking age. For example the Swastika has been found etched on spear tips. It is the same type of individuals and same type of groups that would call you evil (if you are europan) if only for the "crime" of indulging in and rediscovering aspects of your own acnestors spiritual as well as cultural heritage. The international elements that benefit from such a development are the same ones that the Germans threw out. The same element whose material books and teachings the Germans threw on the bonfire in the 30s. Everyone knows that NS Germany was burning books on bonfires, but no one knows and are not told, what kind of books they threw on the fire. This universe is currently governed by chaos, the dysgenic, ugly, degenerate, evil and greedy. But when we say that earth should be a beacon of hope. Of the beautiful, the innocent the righteous the virtuous. it is destroyed using the most dangerous weapons. Abolishing racism is abolishing humanity. All of this was brought to you by communits and capitalists. Proving once and for all that they are all but two sides of the same materialistic coin. Against the only ideological force and people that had the power and faith to threaten them and the falseness of their worldview. They should have lost, europe would have been spared the blight of communism and marxism, and the ever perfidious U.S.A, its proxies and those who what to use it for their own benefitt would have been thrown out of europe. Europe would have been saved and no one will never convince me otherwise. So you See. Beacuse the very same forces that won the war are the ones now making (and writing) the history and games about their victory over the germans. The germans must continuously and etrernally be reminded that they were and still are, evil for standing up to both the Capitalists(USA/UK) and the Marxists(USSR) and the rootless international clique. The German must never agian be allowed to be pround of who he is and his history. After all, if they get proud again and they find in themselves the courage and will to act agaist the current order of things. Then they will simply reheat the ovens at Auschwitz. So you see the German must allways be kept down and allways be in the minds of moderity, the eternal fascist. The swastika is not only a Indian symbol, it is an indo-european symbol. It belongs as much to the Indians as it does to the Europeans. The swastika has ben found for instance on germanic spears and viking swords and other archaeological artifacts. It is a pagan pre-chiristian symbol, which explains historically why it it not associated with christianity today, but rather the native folk faiths of pre-chiristian europe and other still existing ethno-faiths such as Shinto. There is this idea of inherent ethinc exclusivity when it comes to cultural symbols and how they belong to peoples, because if they do not, then they belong to everyone and as such underminds identity and group consciousness. Some cultural elements or symbols were only seen in one group and so if they were not to have ever existed or removed, so would the elements that made them unique. Potentially yes it could be racist, if the out-goup appropriates elements or spiritual symbolism of other ethnic groups. As an example, what inhernet right does a black or white person have to appropriate the spiritual symbolism of other ethnic groups? Would the Chinese like them more if they statred doing that? I dont think so. It inherently underminds the "cultural value" of a cultural symbol or rite or practise. Could they invite you to take part in it? Sure of course they could. But that would be like the difference between you being invited into their house it or just waking into their house like you owned it. In some ways i see it as stealing something that does not belong to you. If everyone does the same thing or has the same thing, even though this thing at one point was only connected to one people in the past, does it then loose its uniqueness? Yes it does, for now it is "owned" by all and its cultural firmament has been moved(if not destroyed). I would much more prefer that individuals and peoples look into their own history and identity and find back to that which was already theirs, if they have anything at all to look back into, which most have. It as a type of live and let live. Africans have their stuff, Europeans have their own stuff and the Asians have their own stuff and so on and so forth. It is about understanding that other peoples, whoever they are, have their own cultural elements, but it is also about defending what your own people also have. To accept real diversity in the real world, is to allow others to have their own and let them live with the expression of it and its consequences.

    In all probability bronze was an accident that turned out well. The types of stack furnaces used to refine (smelt) copper were tall hollow stacks of stone sealed with mud. They had a largish opening in the bottom for the draft usually facing into the wind. The smelters (bloomery if smelting iron) were charged with charcoal and copper ore. I'm not familiar with refining copper specifically so I don't know if a flux was added to the charge. Anyway the height of the stack provided enough draw the fire burned hot enough to melt copper. IF however the stones used to make the furnace contained tin or zinc ore there was a good chance one of the non-ferrous alloys of copper just happened in the process. It wouldn't take long for humans to start altering the % for effect. We're clever that way, find something cool and tinker with it till we run out of beer.

    I never knew about this Celtic god. But if I have any supernatural abilities, it is about linguistics. So I immediately tried to see any linguistic parallels to his name. With glee, right at the start, where you ponder over the origin of the Gobannus' name, I spotted this: my mother tongue is Czech, i.e. Western Slavic, and I see a parallel in "kovat", which is the process of metal working, like hitting a metal ("kov") by a hammer in order to shape it. The parallel is remote as the K is not G, but it is a glottal anyway. V isn't B, but Celtic "bh" actually is a v. But then it stroke me - when copper can be named from a word for excrement (coprolit, etc), because the molten and then cooled copper might have reminded a neolitic man of an excrement, aka shit 😁, then our vulgar name for the same across many Slavic languages is "hovno", in Polish it would be "góvno". The similarity is inescapable. Same goes for English "cake" - before the first man made cake ever it was a word for bovine excrement and I dare to say that meaning was far older than the cake we eat today. The only problem is how do we stay decent when it is about the name of a deity, right? The reason why I mix willy-nilly the Celtic vocabulary with Slavic is simple - they left us some words, that's one thing, and secondly, they are Indo-Europeans as we are, and in each IE language there is some remnant of the original, each language keeps different "gems" alive.

The other Slavic languages call hammer a molotok, młot or młotek, while Germanic nations call it hammer and French marteau; I am sure the Celts left us many of these words.

Also the "deirge" is interesting, though it is harder to find similarity with "ochre". But in Czech we say blood "krev". All three share the "kr", though deirge has it the other way around.

    I'm sure Fortress of Lugh may have her on the backlog. But until he gets there, check the patreon several of us can help out and there's a few other channels that are great sources on the Aesir. Ocean Keltio, Arith Härger, and Jackson Crawford being three I can think of. Jackson did one on Freyja - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z5mCldmHl7OngrA.html

    @Blanc Neige Degenerate is harsh, but Arith is a little bit of a snowflake. Go with Norse Magic and Beliefs if Jackson is too dry for you - avoid Arith and Oceans Keltoi, that's mass-appeal generic stuff, good for intros, but if you're watching Fortress, you're in deep lore (truthful) territory. As for Freya, I think it's clear there is more than enough attention paid to Norse culture on KZread and beyond. The knowledge and talents of Fortress of Lugh are better suited to helping our under-served Celtic culture simply _survive_ , let alone reach more people.

    As a bone fide Celt myself, I admit having the same reservations. We humans are good at picking out patterns - even if they are not there! It is good to keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out! Much as I'd like to believe that we Irish were centre of civilization, the reality about how we connect to the rest of the world is more of interest. To be honest, we probably learned knots from the Picts, but we can claim we improved upon it (maybe!).

    @@chrisnewbury3793 yeah, funnily enough Germanic and Celtic tribes often did trade with eachother, fought eachother and such even before the Romans started to conquer most of them. So it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they shared similar gods but with a different name, the Germanic people knew him as Thunor, Thunraz, Thunöraz and even Donar. The cleric folk knew him as Taranos, Taranas and even Taranis, the Finnish knew him as Ukko, the Slavic knew him as Perun (the Scandinavians did mix with the Slavic, infact one famous Viking clan known as the Rus founded what would now be Russia and Ukraine). And the Scandinavians knew him as Thör. Really Ragnarok was only ever mentioned for the first time after the end of the Viking age as a way why the old gods died out and bringing a path for Scandinavians to worship Jesus. Funnily enough Scandinavians still worshipped Thör alongside Jesus even when it was banned. All those gods I mentioned shared similar traits, Red hair, tall and often described as a mountain of a man welding and axe and later a Hammer or both on both hands even a Bow. And yeah Thor was described as a master of all weapons but favoured the axe before he was gifted Mjölnir. So basically the northern Europeans worshipped gods that are very eerily similar to eachother. So yeah I can see why you would think that. Maybe they were all at one point just one God. Fun fact the word GOD is a Germanic word Wich is Güd. Funnily enough Thor is primarily a Germanic god, the true Csandinavian Gods were the Vanir who would go to war with the invading Æsir/Aesir , it's basically describing a real life event where when the Romans invaded the Germanic people, the Germanic people fled into Scandinavia Wich well sparked conflict. Wich eventually the conflict ended and they mixed together and their cultures as well.

He was the first Caesar God-King. He brought Freya's(Brigid) six-spoke Yule Wheel to Asia(Aesir), which is called The Wheel of Vishnu in India, and established the Sexagesimal time system and the calendar. That's why at least three of the days of the week are Norse gods. He tried to standardize the languages which is where we get the mythology of the Tower of Babel. His Babylonian system of language, time, calendar, money, etc, is the same one we use to this day. A lot of this information I get from "The Oera Linda".

    Lugh is an Irish name and in Irish a g followed by an H is a silent g and not pronounced. And so the Name Lugh is properly pronounced Loo and not loog. The word Ogham used to be spelled Ogam with a buailte over the G. When there is a buailte over a G the G is silent and an h after a g serves the same purpose. Brother, if you are not pronouncing names properly I have to wonder what else you are getting wrong.

    Now don't get upset like the guy above who went off on an anti Christian rampage, as if his alternate religions were any better, as I'm commenting in a friendly manner. In modern Irish the 'h' or hache I believe is to show an aspiration after the 'g' as when the 'guh' sound of old which was eventually dropped but still aspirated for a long while as in Loo-(guh). That's why its also pronounced Lug in some places. But the reason the 'h' is added is to try & replicate the older sound. Just like today we humans tend to shorten everything we say. That's why usage trumps spelling & gets murdered by dialect. You write in English or Bearla & many of your words would be unrecognized in earlier times. And Ogham traditionally would be pronounced Om, like the mantra chant, or Ohm like the electrical unit. It's all good.

He himself, probably made a new discovery or two that upset the apple cart. That's just how it is. As a side note: having a degree and having been told things by someone that holds a degree are two different things. That's like a surgeons wife claiming she can do surgery because her husband tells her about his day.

Don't get so mad if things seem different than what you were taught. What we were taught was what they thought they knew back in the day. Much of that has been changed and we learn something new every day, & will continue to do so. My Da was an hereditary Seannachie & Keeper of the Lore, and he loved learning new things. Kevin is a very astute researcher & goes out of his way not to make value judgements on the material he discards as in error, and usually gives all the viewpoints.
