Let me add that the early nomads of Altai castrated horses in the 6th-3rd centuries. BC e., as evidenced by the archaeological finds of the Pazyryk mounds. Geldings were popular as classic steppe cavalry because they can calmly, without the desire to mate, be in a group with other horses; they are less pugnacious. These qualities are still valued today, especially on large ranches where working horses are usually kept in the herd and where the ability of the animals to immediately begin working on command is often important. in Russian the word gelding sounds like "merin".

Stirrup was not invented till 1700-1800 years ago, and Chinese bowmen of 5000 could confront a Hun cavalry army of 100,000, and it is because the Huns did not have stirrups. In the 2nd century China, the ancient Tibetao-Burmans invaded the Yellow River area by 10,000 cavalry. 200,000 Chinese soldiers from counties in the area were asked to pool money to buy 10,000 horses, and then 190,000 soldiers dismissed, and the rest 10,000 cavalrymen chased the 10,000 barbarians back to the area of the Yellow River origin. No stirrups at the time. But the Huns and Avars had the stirrups to invade into Europe.

​@@VX-VAMAEBI78N1-MR-12 This could be just another myth. European related military history attributed to the Avars for first using stirrups. Last time I wrote the Huns and Avars took the stirrup there. I now take back the Huns' part. Stirrup was not particularly talked about in China. The sudden change of warfare could be seen in adoption of cavalry uniforms in the 4th to 3rd centuries Before Christ, which did not replace the thousand-year-old chariots' warfare, continuous usage of chariots in the campaigns into Mongolia and Siberia in the 1st century, abandoning of chariots' warfare in the mid-3rd century, with like dismissing 190,000 soldiers to get 10,000 soldiers ride on horses to chase the Qiang cavalry marauders who did not likely possessed the modern-sense stirrups, sudden fighting capability of the Xianbei cavalry in the 4th century, with hundreds of Xianbei daring tens of thousands of Huns. My guess is stirrups were invented about the time of the 1st part of the 4th century. Then the Avars took it to the west.

And it is interesting that the Tocharian languages are generally considered to be a centum rather than satem group, which definitely supports the idea that the proto-Afanasievo culture went eastwards long before the satem languages developed and also implies that the satem languages developed in a central location (Sintashta/Srubna?) rather than an West/East isogloss which was the predominant belief before the understanding that Tocharian and Hittite were centum languages.

I told the yotutuber: You appear to put new wine in old wine cup. Edward Vajda - Tlingit and the Dene-Yeniseian Hypothesis. Linguistically, Chinese was to do with this umbrella. Tibeto-Burmans split from Chinese 5000-9000 years ago but shared 80-90% cognates, all with the 'quan' cognate for dogs. This was before any Tocharian migration to the Tarim. Genetically, Chinese were related to the Fins who lived in southeastern Inner Mongolia before migration to the west. Pottery and metallurgy, you want to study a Russian Olga Gorodetskaya's bronze studies of excavated bronze in the Yangtze, much older than the Shang bronze. And you want to study Needham to know potteries were invented 15000 years ago, and only in China you had the wind turbine to generate the high temperature. Metallurgy, the west did not know how to melt the ore or casting other than hammering. Horse and chariot, the west was 1000 years late in harnessing, and the Sumerian harnessing would choke a horse at the neck when fast running. There is no way for a R1B gene to carry high tech to China. Edward Vajda would give you the dates by millenniums for the interactions of people, and you could come to understand why Avars were N and Q genes, Fins and Central Asian Turks. The Central Asia R1a people were pushed out by the Turks. In ancient Chinese, we had the mixed genes of the Fins and Turks, but not Indo-Europeans R1a, not to mention your R1b.

It's been pointed out a few times already, but I think the definition of "European" in this video seems a bit loose. Linguistically, the arśi are closest to hittites and anatolians; genetically they are closest to Iranians (as I understand it. Genetics are outside my study.) Either Europe goes much further east than I understand it, or being European has nothing to do with living in peninsular west eurasia. I'm really glad someone is covering pre-silk road interactions on the steppes! You are very attentive in presenting your sources and qualifying your conclusions, and I can see the marketability of "Europeans in China" over "R-haplogroup steppe peoples and k-type indoeuropean speakers in eastern eurasia." But while you are careful about your information, I think the terms like "European origins" is too close to hamite fantasy.

Another interesting aspect concerns climate change (the desertification) leading to funneling of people through the mountain passes into the Wei river valley and the founding of the city of Chang'an.

11:42 I would dare to raise another topic as to the origin of "mare": in my language (Czech) we say "nightmare" as "noční můra". Můra is a moth, a butterfly with wings. But obviously it was originally still the mare, but it is forgotten. But consider this: The horses were introduced into Europe together with Yamnaya horse riders. They didn't bring only horses, but also death, destruction and bubonic plague. In Czech, the bubonic plague is called "mor". Is it a coincidence that the riders on their mares brought mor? That's one thing. Another one is, Moravia (Morava in Czech) region is named, according to linguists, from the moorelands, as the river had many bogs. Of course moor is so similar to its Czech meaning that I won't bother even with explaining how it comes about. That's where the linguists close the story. But is it possible that the moor in Moravia is older than they can imagine, and that the origin of the word "moor" is also coming from the earlier "mor"/plague brought to Europe by the horseriders? If not, why are these words so similar (mort, mortis, mortal), and what was earlier? Is the origin of our I-E word for horse stemming from death which it originally introduced to Europe?

I remembered in the papers that I read, there were skulls excavated from Anyang Yinxu ruins that resembled Indo-European features. Protruded nose with visibly apparent Caucasoid feature. How did they get there? Possibly through marriages that got buried as human sacrifice alongside the dead king or possibly slaves captured by the Shang. The Shang worship their god using human sacrifice, so they regularly waged war with the western barbarians and celebrated it with mass killings. It was mentioned in the oracle bones that those western barbarians have distinct feature than the Han. Ya, so people with Indo-European ancestry might have entered the Chinese heartland during the Bronze Age. But most of them are systematically erased out of existence during the Shang period. According to archeologists, there are estimated 13,000 people were sacrificed during the period of the Shang. The bone counts are terrifying. So guess where did Shang get those people from? From the barbarians. Eastwards, northwards, southwards, and westwards. They waged wars on those barbarian tribes so they can get enough human heads for the grand sacrifice.

Where better to develop advanced skills in medicine, philosophy, metalwork, weaving and farming than by straddling the silk road. I think it is the fount of both eastern and western civilizations.

I am criticizing. You made a photo moment of time. People migrated here and there on the steppe. The first migration was the Seimo Turbino peoples. They conquered all of Eurasia, from Scandinavia to Thailand. They were a mixed people, mongolid and Europid They are ancestors of the finn-ugric languages. According to Sigmund Heist, the ancestors of the Finno-Ugric peoples also played a role in the creation of the ancient Germanic language. Then came the Indo-Europeans, their last wave was the Sakas. All of them went tothe East.The Huns come from the territory of the Shan dynasty. some of them migrated back to China. Some of them came to Europe. The Kipchaks, Avars and Pechenegs settled in the territory of today's Hungary partly. Kipchakks first homeland was Mandzsúria. The avars first homeland was South Siberia, Mongólia and nowdays north China.Then came the Mongol conquest. The opposite of this is the Russian imperial conquest coming from East Europe. The Mongolian fold occurs among the northern types and in Eastern Europe. It is more common among Hungarians due to the so-called Alföldi type. This is a Central Asian type variation.The opposite of your reasoning is also possible. None of them can be proven.

Very noice, this is the most complete video about the ancient Europeans in China with the new genetic and archeological results I found. And if the Small Hats can claim Israel, now we Europeans can claim western China. ;)

It has nothing to do with white people. Western steppe herders were descended from Eastern. Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) are the progenitors to what you are pretending has anything to do with you.

Could I be the descendant of the ancient Indo European tribes who settled in China? Do I have some DNA of Afanasievo and Tulgarian blood within me? If I am a distant descendant, my family with ancient Indo European blood had ended up in Southeast China in the province of Guangtong. Fortress of Lugh is welcome to do DNA research on me since a lot of Chinese told me that I don't look like 100% Chinese
