Who were the Proto-Indo-Europeans?

The existence of the Proto-Indo-Europeans (formerly referred to as Aryans) was once argued purely on linguistic evidence, but recent analysis of DNA of the Yamnaya culture and related steppe cultures, demonstrates their genetic legacy on Indo-European cultures in a timeframe that matches the expansion proposed by linguists.
Most interesting of all, despite the fact these people started off in the Pontic Caspian steppe of Eastern Europe, modern populations in all of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe all have a strong genetic affinity with them.
This video explains what genetic and linguistic evidence tells us about how they lived, what they looked like and what their pagan religion was like.

    + Survive the Jive About origins of wheel: Döñgelek (Kaz and Kyr): from verb döñgelenu (turn). Verb Döñgelek was formed by combining words domalau (roll) and kelu (to come/arrive). Döñgelek/Wheel/Koleso Word Döñgelek describes exactly what a wheel does: it rolls and comes/arrives. Also it contains letters G, E, L some of which appear in English “wheel" and Russian “koleso”. When forming Russian KOLESO, “g” shifted to “k”. It is surprising, because originally in Kazakh there was “k” (in kelu (to come/arrive) and then it shifted to “g” to harmonize. So, it seems we found the origins of Eurasian wheel. By the way, the origins of English “ride” are in the Steppe too. Kazakh for “ride” is “aydau”.

Now there are far fewer people in Eurasia who practice the original beliefs of their Indo-European ancestors :-(

    Women like horses because they have gib bix. If western women were drawn to ‘nice cars,’ however, one would naturally expect to find more women of means driving sports cars and a greater general knowledge of/appreciation for cars amongst females. We don’t see that. What we do see are older men of humble endowment thinking that possession of vehicles and commodities of this sort ‘attract’ women. The comical error of such American consumerist thinking is difficult to overstate. Try cleaning yourself up, working out, projecting confidence in your demeanor, and showing women a fun time. Convey whatever wealth you have in a humble manner (women interested in such things will pick up on that no matter how subtle the cues are).

    I'm Italian from Tuscany, and although all of my 8 great-grandparents were from Tuscany, my DNA admixture scan through GEDmatch came out with some surprising results. It was closer to the average Central European than I expected. Only 45% or so was ENF. Maybe it's because my mother's family probably had older Germanic origins, since their surname sounds like an Italianization of a German word. Now I understand why, when I was in the US, everybody thought I was from the Netherlands or France or something like that. It's interesting and fascinating to find out something about our ancient bloodline, but one must always remember that, you know, people moved A LOT across the continent since then, and interbred AF. Otherwise you wouldn't have those blonde-haired blue-eyed Sicilians, probably descending from Normans that arrived there around year 1000 CE. They're not common, but they're there.

With the afterlife, like the cycle of time, your soul get reincarnated after being in the underworld for some time (i.e. metempsychosis). And yes, both the bear, and the wolf, in Indo-European society were referred to by euphorisms because they believed if you said their names the animal would come after you. This also explains why Vikings raided while wearing the skin of a bear and acted like a bear. It was a way to overcome that fear. I am devoted to worshiping the Indo-European gods in their proto-form. Practices have been reconstructed to practice Proto-Indo-European religion. As for the creation myth, I have studied it, and made it poetic much like to that to the style of Ovid. Deiwóns kṃti twéd esonti! (May the Gods be with you!) :)

    They out- performed the other groups, because of war and milk. milk . They had the enzime to digest milk. 1 Litre of milk is 670 calories. By becoming yogurt, the bacteria eat lactose...meaning that the calories decrease..but digestiability increase. So proto-indo-europeans children had better nutrion...meaning just by drinking 2 litre of milk per day..they had the necesary calories. Nobody could drink milk...but farmers could consume yogurt...and cheese ( they lost some of the calories in the process ) - the hunters-gathereres not even that. So they had a evolution advantage - of having a grass-converter (livestock ) into calories...with highest efficiency possible for themself. Livestock in agricultural societys was limited a resurces that could not feed 10.000 of people( a few cows here and there ) . But for PIE, livestock was able to feed a population on the move that was in constant war..with a better outcome regarding drought and soil depletion, and with the posibility to consume milk they got the maximum from it...( calories wise ) They probably had 8 -10 children per women and expanded at such a major ratio, waged war and dominated everyone that they encontered. By 10-15 generations they would have outbreed, killed and intermaried with everyone. War was the factor that killed ( and maybe other ecological factors ) : Old Europe / Cututeni Civilization - and with the colapse of the agrarian civilization also the population that could offer resistance decresed. Eventualy they intermingled and became the ancient populations that we know today. ( celts, latins, germans, thacians...etc ).

    Horse milk and meat. And Kazakhs still eat horse meat and drink horse milk. There is an archeological site of so called Botai Culture in Norhern Kazakhstan where the remains of domesticated horses were found. Only of horses, not other domesticated animals. Also in pottery there were found the residue of horse milk. The Botai Culture dates 5000 years old. Horse was and is the fastest moving domesticated animal. So those who domesticated the horse and consumed its meat and milk could move faster than those who had other domesticated animals.

    A vastly oversimplified and sloppy presentation. Some good ideas, but you need to think them through and involve a wider set of contributions, including archaeology, genetics, culture, etc. How did horses contribute? Are you much dependent on cattle, or were horses a multi-source of power, food, prestige and replacement? Are there other factors equal to your "lactose" theory?

    I liked watching your video very much! It points out many interesting aspects in my own language, which is Czech. I know that there is some recent esoteric-like movement around Slavic culture, but fact is, that Slavic languages preserved many interesting contexts from the past. You mentioned "bear" in Russian. In Czech it's the same- "medvěd" which actually mean "honey-knower". The root "věd" is very widesperad and important in Slavic languages with numerous connections. Czech language as an example- Vědět (arch. věděti) - to know Věda - science (see sanskrit "veda" - knowledge) Vědění - knowledge Vědomí - consciousness Vědma - she enchanter, fortune teller (someone who 'knows' in spiritual sense) . . . and many other words delivered from this root "ved" which seems to be proto IE. See for example famous celtic druids originating from *dru-wid - "tree-knowers" (in current Czech it would be "dře-věd" 😃 ). Although the Baltic languages are more archaic members of Balto-Slavic language branch, the Slavic ones preserved so much context and it makes them fun to learn - unlike languages with many loanwords you don't need to get explanation to every word, because you can trace their meaning by their context. Cheers and keep going! 😃

(Perhaps the culture was more nuanced and they didn't just compete with racing and fighting). Kwoyneh - Klanje : Slaughter (pretty easy to connect the dots) Gwous - Gvozde/Gvozdže/Gvozdenje : Iron chains which were used to tie cattle and prisoners.

In Xanten Germany they unearthed a Roman city and with that the foundation of a Roman Amfitheater (gladiator arena) which they rebuild and also can be seen. Go there, really. Anyways they also found a stone "manuscript" which read they catched fifty adult bears in six weeks for a tournament within the surrounding area that is the forests among the rhine river. imagine that without modern technologie in 6 weeks. And this was around the end of the first century AD, which is much later. Anyways looking forward to you next vid, great stuff!

As a former History major and Anthropology Minor, I won't say that I was completely unaware of the distant Indo-European connections, but I would have still seen those two systems as still fairly distant. And while nobody is suggesting that they're identical, the fact that they serve as a joint guide to the early belief systems is nonetheless amazing. While those two parts of the world might seem fairly remote, this video, among other things, clarifies why certain parts of the world are more closely related than what might otherwise be thought. Much will be taken from this video, but that might be my most notable aspect.

    Also, if you want traces of the I-E creation myth and cattle, there is a Perun myth about his cattle being stolen by Veles which he then goes to retrieve because he is a warrior god who is not to be messed with, and since Veles is a shapeshifter who can take animal forms he causes trouble. There is also a story about Perun killing a giant serpent in the mountains which is related as well. But you probably know that because Thor does the same thing. Another interesting fact is the Vales is also called ''skotiyi bog/stočni bog'' meaning the ''cattle god'', and his name is related linguistically to Völsi, the Nordic fertility, phallus cult which I believe is also related to cattle and horses.

    There is the story of Parshuram in the Vedic/Hindu mythology, who was a Brahmin. His father's cow 'Kamadhenu' was stolen by the pompous Kshatriyas of the kingdom and he(Parshuram) took a vow to kill the undeserving Kshatriyas. He retrieved the Kamadhenu and killed the undeserving warrior tribes(around 21 or 21 times i guess).

    Two almost same religions...but in Slaws we have AllGod or Svarog. Svarog is the supreme incorporeal god, the primordial creator of the bright sky under whose roof "everything is born and happens." He is the forefather of the earth and every "kind and fruit", that is, everything on earth, but also the creator of the entire universe. This god was considered by all Slavs to be "full of glory and divinity" because he governs the sky that is above and beyond everything, yet includes everything. Svarog sleeps and in his sleep he created this world which he entrusted to Perun and the other gods to guard and keep the world. He cannot directly affect the physical, material environment he dreams of, but he can therefore influence the will of the other gods, and this is where his influence is enormous. His awakening will mark the end of the world. Alternative names: Rod and Usud. Ragnarok.

    Curious about the bear worship and euphemisms possibly being derived from contact with Uralic peoples, or perhaps an earlier ANE component. Avoiding the name of sacred/feared/revered animals is a common trait in Finno-Ugric languages, not limited to bears. In Hungarians "szarvas" is the word for deer which derives from "horned one", "farkas" for wolf meaning "tailed one". Northern Sami use the word "sarva" to refer to Moose/Elk with the same root for deer in Hungarian. I know this trait is present in Komi and Ob-Ugric languages as well, I do not yet know if this trait is present in Samoyedic or other Siberian languages (but bear worship certainly is). I'm not sure if the bear euphemism is present in indo-european languages other than those you mentioned, but they all stem from around the baltic sea and as such would have had extensive contact with Uralic groups, especially Finns and Sami. Russians in particular have heritage from a lot of assimilated Finno-Ugric tribes, and the Nordic peoples certainly have had plenty of contact with Finnic groups and cultural exchange. Bear cults are common across north Eurasia from the Finns to Khanty to Nganasan to the Nivkh and Ainu. All these groups have notable ANE heritage, so it could go that far back, or possibly be from more recent migrations and cultural exchange....

I almost thought Punjabi derived a completely different word from elsewhere but we also conserved "rtkos" as ਰਿੱਛ or rech (sounds like wretch but the ch sounds more like a Polish "cz"). So it's not just Latin or Greek, I'd say the Sanskrit based one derives it best between the 3.

    Kuno Meyers worked on Germanic-Celtic connections before his work was interrupted by the World Wars. The sounds "th" and "d" are approximations of each other and give rise to "deus" and "theus" for example. It makes sense that "deutsch" and "tuatha" are connected. The connection of "germaine" and "German" or "frank" and "French" indicates to me a tendency whereby a language was once a sort of priesthood. Priests often call their association "bright ones" or "illuminated" or "truth seekers" or some such variation. The Irish for example refer to an "iris" and Gael means "glow" or "brightness." The Scots are named for "scoth" or "blossom" in Gaelic.

    Just listing a few of the PIE words you mention here that seem to me to have "descendants" in modern Albanian:- wed - lidh (tie, join, can be used of entering a relationship with someone)- wedno - dhëndër (bridegroom, son-in-law)- snusos - nuse (bride, daughter-in-law, even wife) - ghosti - gosti (feast, banquet, when you invite many people for a large celebration with food and drinks)- gwous - gjë (sometimes used to mean domesticated animals)- kwoyneh - kanun (a huge guess here, but it could be the word from which our Kanun - the unwritten tribal law still in place in mountainous areas - comes from. The Kanun deals a lot with the laws for revenge, among other regulations.)- potis - we have a verb "shpotis", which means to tease, taunt, etc. not necessarily in a lighhearted manner. It might have an origin in the concept of trying to lower a man's (chief's) status by ridiculing them. (The "sh" prefix is regularly used in Albanian to mean the undoing of something expressed by the rest of the word.)- tewteh - Teuta, the Illyrian queen, is said to have had her name derive from this word. Her name was probably a title or a representation of all the tribe/people in the queen/king.

    Indo Europeans had a military advantage due to their larger tribal networks derived from a more mobile lifestyle developed in the western steppes. Essentially that meant that they where able to muster larger armies than their opponents could which was always a big help in winning battles. Later, superior chariot and horse warfare played a bigger factor than 'the network'.

    The Basque language is a relic and language isolate from the Neolithic (before the Indo-European invasions). However, the Basques are mostly R1b on the male side, which is an Indo-European marker, but for some reason they retained their old Neolithic language. It is rare for the females of a tribe to retain their native language when dominated by foreign males, but it is not unheard of. Why exactly the Basque language survived after being dominated by IE males is unknown. Many theories out there. As for Britain, we know that Stonehenge is about 4,000 years old (this is the estimate most scholars seem to agree on today). Stonehenge is similar to other megalithic monuments built all over Western Europe at the time which implies a cultural continuity throughout western Europe. In other words, the people of Stonehenge Britain were probably very closely related to people all over Western Europe (not just culturally, but genetically). A paper was published just a month or so ago focusing on the genetics of the Bell Beaker people of Central and Western Europe and how they fit into the demographics of Europe. The Bell Beaker people were prominent in Europe starting about 2700 BCE and disappeared in about 1800 BCE. Their culture was prominent in Britain just as it was on the continent. The question this paper wanted to answer was who were the Bell Beakers genetically?Were they Neolithic farmers or Yamnaya (Indo-European) or some combination of both? It turns out they were mostly Yamnaya (Steppe) according to DNA (and they sampled almost 100 ancient skeletons). I will quote you a portion of the abstract of the paper: "However, human migration did have an important role in the further dissemination of the Beaker Complex, which we document most clearly in Britain using data from 80 newly reported individuals dating to 3900-1200 BCE. British Neolithic farmers were genetically similar to contemporary populations in continental Europe and in particular to Neolithic Iberians, suggesting that a portion of the farmer ancestry in Britain came from the Mediterranean rather than the Danubian route of farming expansion. Beginning with the Beaker period, and continuing through the Bronze Age, all British individuals harboured high proportions of Steppe ancestry and were genetically closely related to Beaker-associated individuals from the Lower Rhine area. We use these observations to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was mediated by migration from the continent that replaced >90% of Britain's Neolithic gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the process that brought Steppe ancestry into central and northern Europe 400 years earlier." What this is saying is that Britain PRIOR to the Bell Beakers was mostly of Neolithic farmer heritage, similar to most of continental Europe (especially Iberia). However, when the Beakers came in, they replaced 90% of the British gene pool in only a few hundred years. This is astounding, yet DNA doesn't lie. As for Stonehenge, I suspect it was built just before the Steppic (IE) invasions into Britain. Why? Because the Yamnaya people never built megaliths on the Steppes or anywhere in Eastern Europe. This appears to be wholly a Neolithic farmer phenomenon. However, the Bell Beakers were already in Britain at the time Stonehenge was supposedly built, so either the dating of Stonehenge is wrong OR the Bell Beakers adopted some of the cultural practices of the native Neolithic Brits.

    The not naming the bear story is the same among old Alaska natives. Athabascan and Denina people would just refer to bears as big animals. A similar way of dealing with bears as the Aryan. Perhaps.

    If I'm not mistaken both Indo-Europeans and Native Americans descend from ANE (Ancient North Eurasians), could be a myth dating back to that time before the split.

    Wreg is interesting. It seems to be similar in general meaning to rig. From the context of a vehicle you take into the bush. It's reserved for anything that is used to get the job done. 4 wheeler, Snowmachine,trucks,jeeps,18 wheelers are all rigs. Now if you put a wench and a wrack on a hatchback hauling a boat you could call it a rig. You drive it and you can strap things to it, but also haul with it.

    Would love to see you do a video on the r1b and r1a haplogroup division that causes much autistic screeching in our circles. Would like to see how you think it correlates with Aryan people's and whether r1b has a claim to Aryan status or not. I havnt seen anyone tackle this properly and I believe you are the man for the task

    R1b does have a claim to proto-Aryan status (and a strong one at that). It was present in both the early PIE Samara culture and in the late PIE Yamnaya culture. Check out this paper (Haak et al. 2015, "Massive migration from the steppe is a source for Indo-European languages in Europe"): biorxiv.org/content/early/2015/02/10/013433 It took a long time before this conclusion was reached (or, rather, before the evidence was uncovered). 15 years ago, it was believed to have been natively ice age western European. 5 years ago, it was believed to be a mediterranean late Neolithic farmer lineage. Every subclade within R1b originated in the steppes. A recent study (Mathieson et al. 2017) found R1b-V88, the earliest branch to split off from R1b, in a man from Mesolithic Ukraine. Today, this lineage is almost exclusively found in Central Africans, meaning that ancient steppe tribes migrated all the way to subsaharan Africa. It bears mentioning that this man was overall very genetically similar to the EHG ancestors of the proto-Indo-Europeans, who lived in the same area.

    @@swevixeh The outline you linked to has none of what you just mentioned in it. But it does say this though, ""the Yamnaya steppe herders of this time were descended not only from the preceding eastern European hunter-gatherers, but from a population of Near Eastern ancestry."" So it's miscegenated immigrants of near Eastern Descent that you're claiming as Aryan. You seem a little bit deluded and not true to your racist ideals. Right below an Iranian proved to be of those types. Do you look like a fucking Iranian? No, you look like an ugly barbarian with recessive genes, desperate to claim other cultures as yours while disparaging the real people those cultures belong to.

    since PIE is a reconstructed lang, how do you exclude the possibility of contaminating it with our (modern or otherwise anachronistic) meanings of the words, interpretations and language practices?

    Great video, mate. I study things from a very Hiberno-centric perspective. Your video really made sense of the larger perspectives on genetic makeup for me. For example, my DNA is about 50% WHG, 40% EWF, 10% Yamnaya, I am 7/8 Irish/Ulster Scots, and 1/8 Welsh/Cornish though the niece of Bishop William Weathers. Personally, I believe the Yamnaya represent the Tuatha De Danann of Irish history, the EWF the Milesians, and the WHG either the Fomorians or the Fir Bolg, though currently my money's on the Fomorians presently. First I have heard of this Bear religion. Some interesting facts. Bear bones with marks from being butchered by humans have been found in the North of Ireland dating to 12,500 YBP. This is the first evidence of human habitation of Ireland. Bears obviously brought over by boat along by the WHG to Ireland are most closely related to Spanish bears, unless the bears themselves somehow migrated from Spain. I am quite certain that the Yamnaya and the EWF arrived in Ireland at about the same time, and that the EWF are from probably a pre-Yamnaya or proto-Yamnaya culture, possibly more Western than Eastern oriented. In any event, in the yDNA group my own DNA is a part of (DF-21), three of the six major groups are associated with the three sons of Queen Meadhbh of Connacht and Fergus mac Roich of Ulster, and two of the other three with contemporaries of their in the Tain Bo Cuailgne i.e. the Seven Septs of Laois descended from Conall Cearnach. The Tain is impossible to date, but popularly thought to have occurred in the first century B.C.E. However, all these SNPs diverged about 4000 YBP. Is it possible that the Tain Bo Cuailgne dates to 2000 B.C.E. ? Ireland has the oldest history of any European country, and the oldest written history of any country except Greece and Rome. In my opinion, the Tain may describe a sort of culture clash between the Yamnaya, and their eventual conquerors in Ireland, the Milesians. From the context of the stories, it would seem that the Milesians arrived in Ireland (or possibly rose to prominence having already been resident) shortly after the invasion of the Yamnaya/Tuatha De Danann (i.e. Rathlin 1, 2 & 3) and that the three kings of the Tuatha De Danann defeated by the sons of Milesius were likely either Conmac, Corc, and Ciar, or their near descendants.
