Something that is not well known is that biologically women are about half as likely as men to be colour blind and about twice as likely as men to have tetrachromatism, meaning that they can see literally thousands of colours that most people cannot.

And while I do want to learn to be a badass sword fighter and literally have the opportunity to do so, I literally have to decide on a weekly basis “learn to sword fight this week or do medical painting or work on making good looking clothing” and it’s a *really* tough choice every time, but the art usually wins.

I’ve been saying these things to people for years!!! I studied archaeology and I did archaeology in Europe, so I can say from my experience these things are very true. It’s kind of infuriating that most of my discussions with people involve them refusing to accept women were EVER in power. I’ve told them that at many times, throughout history, women have very clearly been in actually power over all society. Matriarchy was NOT unusual in prehistory, and even for much of history, matriarchy was legitimately the rule in many parts of the planet. It was FAR from being male-dominated. Anyone who doesn’t believe this, just doesn’t know history. Sadly knowledge of history is more and more lacking in most people I know these days.

Thank you. I think men too often choose to forget the value of women. So much goes into supporting a working husband, keeping house and raising children. Plus, for so many today, hold employment outside the home. Yet, what I hear is a lot of complaints about women as if our roles and responsibilities are not important.

There I've seen different people and experienced the treatment of European Women, and I must say 90% of them were positive. From the first contact in airport, to the kind teachers who treated with respect and care, other encounters were very strange for my country standards, for example I was once lazy and took an elevator for one level and the Russian women said to me you're so young why are you even here? And she took to the highest floor and told get some sport. Other were more of a warm experience when I walked out of a bus in the winter and my hood was down, a woman approached me and covered my head and told you're not used to our Russian Winters, take care and warm yourself.

As appealing as this is, there’s a time and place limitation to what you say. As France entered the high Middle Ages, for instance, aristocratic incentives had women traded as brides with very little concern for their wishes. The insistence of the Church upon consent in marriage served to undermine secular activities. Whatever political wishes clerics may have had, they were at least doctrinally consistent on that point. Whatever positive or powerful roles may have been played by women in Greco-Roman myth, the standardized treatment of women in that society was rather unpleasant. The Christianizing of Rome largely put an end to the forced marriage of prepubescent girls and the exposure of female infants, which was extremely common. The Romanizing of Christianity in turn likely led to many parts of the attitude the clerics took towards some customs by the time they got to Northern Europe. Celtic Christianity was, well, Celticized rather than Romanized and had many differences from Catholicism, not least in the roles taken by women. Even its eventual absorption by the Catholic Church did not immediately change the practices that prevailed in Ireland and some other places.

My grandfather of Irish Gaelic origin, yet I am born in Wales, and have long considered myself Welsh. My nan was a hard woman, I lived with her for a time, and my grandfather a hard man, whom I spent a lot of time with. They taught me a lot, my Nan would teach me chess and if I ever misbehaved she’d call me “a little shit” and would close my pinky finger and squeeze it. My grandfather taught me to play rugby. They were great people and I hold it to them for making me the man I am today. Strong beliefs and to forge myself into the best I can possibly be and never letting misfortunes hold me back. I doubt people care about personal stories, but it’s nice to remember those who had a big influence on my life. Rest well.

About monogamy, in cave sites that were occupied over a hundred thousand years in southern Africa and built of layers of occupation, archaeologists have been able to determine gender groupings and that most common was not straight one man/one woman combinations. But when there were such groupings they tended to last longer, be more stable. Conclusion: most people aren't monogamous but it is a more stable structure. Larger organized groups, kingdoms, religions would recognize this and promulgate (or legislate) monogamy for that reason. And it's a more likely way or keeping to the teachings, beliefs and traditions of a particular group as well as share and spread a common language. Monogamy helps build a dynasty.

The development of a matriarchal society is more suitable for forest peoples of north such as the Ugrians than for the steppe peoples of the plains, i.e. the Indo-Europeans. The main reason is the difference in the social structure where the hunters were away in the wilderness for long periods of time (in other words, were not present in the life of the community) and left the responsibility of the community, tribe, culture, spirituality and village to women alone. And when they came back they did the physical work, which is why the men played a servant and handyman role in the community outside of hunting seasons. This raised women to an important position and they had power over men in social and religious life as well as in the village and home.

Slavs were forest people and they burned the forest to farm land and they said there were different customs in different tribes some considered completely wild others more civilized probably because of being in closer ties with greeks and other folks around them but you are right these things do shape customs but no Slavs were matriarchal despite living typically in forests

Birthing 2-10 children - hard labor. Cooking, cleaning, washing clothes on a rock, hard labor.

I took this anthropology class once, and we covered the exceptions to the rule of pair bonded marriages, obviously it is the global norm, but it appears that groups that live in harsher conditions where mortality rates are naturally higher (typically because of local climate) engage more often in polygamy as a norm. This needle can tip both ways, pre-christian Inuit, for example might be married to two or more brothers. It should come as no surprise that men that far north frequently died on the hunt. Some areas where food is more scarce, like various desert dweller groups before any modernization, a man might more frequently have more wives... I imagine this might be due to less resources, it would be preferred that only some men have families, probably at the expense of having less adult men to feed, or less children in the tribe in total. However, the most interesting to me is the Yanamamo of the Amazon basin where they still have a forager lifestyle.... They live in one of the most resource abundant places there is, and they frequently allow a young person to marry an elder first, as a teacher of sexuality and cohabitation, before they go on to have a second marriage with someone close in age.....odd, but interesting.

Gimbutas' theory regarding the existence of a European-wide, peaceful, Goddess-centered religion has been mostly proven false, as I understand it. And this has been done mostly by women archaeologists and historians. The only culture of that type that has been found was in ancient Sweden, and it was FAR from peaceful. Numerous ring forts throughout the country, and well over 200 sacrificial victims, too. At least half of these were of young girls of about 14 years of age. The use of ring forts was widespread throughout Europe. If things were so peaceful, why would they be needed?

Also, men usually start those wars

Awesome video love that women are getting their stories told properly.

Great stuff, thanks for clarifying modern Abrahamic misconceptions

Another woman in history overlooked, is Queen Rosemund Daughter of The Last Gepid King Cunimund. When Cunimund was defeated and his kingdom taken by a joint force of Avars, and Lombards under King Alboin, who would lead his people into Italy for fear of his once Allie’s ambitions. As the Avars had promised to aid the Lombards but sat back and let the Gepids bleed the monstrous forces. Cunimund was beheaded by The Lombards and his daughter Rosemund was taken by force as a wife to Alboin. A year after the Gepids defeat in 567, the Lombards moved West South-West into Italy. On the 1 year anniversary of the Gepids defeat however, the warriors presented a drinking cup made from the skull of King Cunimund to King Alboin at the feast. Who in his cruel and drunken state forced Rosemund to drink from her fathers skull. She vowed her revenge, and waited for her chance. She either seduced the foster brother of the king or he fell for her, either way Helmgis, and Rosemund plotted to steal the throne, with the aid of the Prefect Longinus of Ravenna, the Roman Capitol of Italy at the time. She then recruited the kings chambermaid Peredo, to set up King Alboin by leaving the door to his hall open, and removing the kings sword from its place. He then poisoned his food and Either he or Helmgis finished Alboin. Soon after Rosemund and Helmgis were forced to flee to Ravenna with a portion of the Lombard army, presumably that portion loyal to The Kings foster brother and shield bearer Helmgis, and the royal treasury. Some tales have them being caught and killed by the pursuing Lombards, others have them escaping to Ravenna, with Albion’s daughter Albsuinda in tow. And eventually falling out and killing each other in the city. Where Longinus sent the treasury and Albsuinda on to Constantinople by ship. Either end of the story, allows for Rosemund to have gotten her revenge. By corrupting, or giving an excuse to an already corrupted brother, Turing him against his king, splitting the army, stealing the treasury and or possibly ending the long and famous line of The Lombard Migration Era Kings. With power being split between 30 sewerage Dukes after Albion’s death. Moral is, don’t mess with woman’s family and expect no retribution.

I appreciate how nuanced your presentation is, you covered so many topics with depth. I'm glad you included more than a passing mention of the textile arts as it is still underrecognized in in the arts and is yes indeed a set of technical skills. There is so much we'll never know about the peoples of prehistory and this was an interesting glimpse into the past.

Loved it.

Thank you for a very informative video. A lot of the stuff I had already known about, but you present some of it in a way I haven't thought about before. [EDIT] After getting to the end of the video, I see it as a kind of love-letter to women of the past and their creative, labour, spiritual, mental and physical input into the societies they were born into. It's really nice to see.

Thank you, I absolutely LOVE this! - subscribed. I forsee this channel becoming one of my go-to references for research material for a "crusade" I'm working on to help reveal the truth about how (and by whom, where, when, and WHY) the Feminine was dishonored and excluded from its rightful place, leading to so much misplaced and misguided enmity, manipulation, and mayhem in the here and now, hopefully to help restore a proper balance for the welfare of ALL!

The shift from an IE family to a nuclear christian family isn't as one-sided as you imply. The right of divorce gave women a counterweight but the christian marriage enforces men's loyalty at a theological/morale level, which highly benefits women in the end. In the end, the West, either indo-european or christian, remains an outlier when it comes to women's conditions.

This was excellent. Thanks. Just out of curiosity: Where in Canada are you? Cheers from Toronto!

Warrior women is likely what ancient people fantasized about rather than what was actually the norm, just like today.

The word "history" has nothing to do with the possessive adjective "his". It did not develop from an Old English word, but Latin, a language in which there is no "his" Similarly, heretic and herpes don't come from "her".😂

Very good Thank you I see it like that

Excellent, well balanced presentation of a time period that we, in the end, can only make educated theories about their way of life.

Idk, I think yes, women definitely were revered and honored throughout time, for many MANY reasons. But I feel like some of this leans towards elitism or nepotism. If only a handful of women have or may have an opportunity of power, only because they’re related to or have a connection to an important man. That spells elitism or nepotism to me.

@msg5879

The same argument could be made about men, only a handful of men held all the power in most societies throughout history, and as such, they had privileges that most other men could only dream of having, both in their relationships with women and their duties towards their people. So the dynamic becomes more about the haves and the have nots of history which could be both male and female, rather than the black and white men vs women rhetoric that is so misguidedly famous today.

Concerning Marija Gimbutas, what about the Talheim death pit in Germany? Or the burial of an Early European Farmer elite from the Varna Necropolis dated to 5th millennium BCE? The grave was full of gold; he even wore a golden codpiece.

Some Serbs are distantly related to the old Celts, Gaels, Welsh, Bretons, Cornish, scots, Irish and Galli. We lost or ties during roman empire and later viking raids and so on.

If you can find it, documentary `Behind The Vail ', addresses this subject. It's from the 1980s and came out of Australia. It starts with the story or Brigid of Ireland.

I liked please continue making video okay ☺️

What an excellent presentation of a very important topic, especially in this age when society has become so deeply misled and embittered about the honourable roles women had in the past. I do have to make a point on the subject of shieldmaidens or warrior women. Norse Magic and Beliefs channel here on KZread has a number of videos where he discusses women in the ancient Norse culture, and while it definitely did happen that women could fight in battle alongside men, he points out that it was REALLY BAD for a woman to be on the losing side of a battle and become a captive. The opposing army would severely r*pe and abuse warrior women for 'daring' to be equal to men. And yet, she who LARPs as a shieldmaiden chooses not to think about this, projecting the modern idea that anything 'defying the oppressive patriarchy' is always a good choice.

In some cultures, women were terribly oppressed. Women could be burnt alive for thievery in anglo saxon times. Men faced lesser punishment. Normans treated women like dirt

I've never heard of anyone being burned alive for thievery my friend. Provide an example. Thievery has always been a hand cutting thing. Incidentally, when it comes to crime, women USED TO have more privilege than men by far. In our country in our courts, women were given as much leniency as was possible. Women used to rarely get the death penalty, men, no problem. In snfko saxon times, women could divorce a man for having bad breath. And take a look at how the average man was treated. The poor are never treated great except for today. And even then, if you want to get into the power structure , you better have money and a gimmick.
