    The missing kneecap could be explained as a former slave or prisoner of war. Some warrior cultures would do this to prevent escape. It also could be a war injury

    So you find some ceremonial daggers and you instantly assume they were used for cut throating their enemies . Where is your shields and the rest of the weaponry used in battle? Myceneans who were trained warriors took down easily the minoans and led them to their extinction.

    The non-Mediterranean Europeans should be proud that while the rest of the known world spent four-thousand years engaged in Imperialism, genocides, slavery, cultural destruction of other societies, and violent sexual degeneracy, our ancestors lived in relative isolation in the north-west corner of the Eastern Hemisphere, engaged in agriculture and artistry. Our warriors were dedication to the defense of their societies, not the conquest of other societies. If not for the foreign armies of the Roman Empire that conquered our ancestors and forced them to serve THEIR imperial purposes under threat of mass genocide, there's no telling what our modern culture would have become. The reason our true organic culture is lost to history, is because it was erased by those who conquered us. Now, 2,000 years later, those most responsible the the worst atrocities of civilization, have convinced the world (and we ourselves) that we are the people who created all that's worst in civilization. Even racism, when it's a fact that the first people in recorded history to be disparaged because of their physical racial appearance are those white people who lived north of the Mediterranean World.

    Maybe they weren't princes. But slain enemy generals. And the mounds were made to celebrate their victory and power over them. And the hoards are from the slain enemy soldiers. Perhaps it was bad luck to re-use a blade that had been owned by an enemy who fell in battle

    Vincan civilization spread throughout the Balkans and the area of today's Greece, as well as Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. Vinca - Kukutetni - Tripoli is one and the same culture. Vinca in Serbia, Vinca in Tuscany (where Leonardo Da Vinci was born) and Vinca in Ukraine are not the same names by chance. Another name for the Serbs is Rasani, from whom today's Russians arose, and the real name of the Etruscans is Rasani, as they called themselves... p.s. Serbs are the autochthonous people in these areas, it is a big historical lie that they immigrated. R1a found in Serbia (Lepenski Vir) is the oldest of all other R1a Slavic peoples...

    And let's get the story further as to what happened to them in India In India, the Sitashta-derived Aryans rapidly pilaged through all native lands, essentially following their same warrior mindset. The locals were labelled "dasas"(slaves) or "dasyus"(dacoits). These locals were Pre-IndoIranian farmers from Middle East(Fertile crescent) mixed with local hunter gatherer populations who formed civilisations like Indus Valley Civilisation. Gradually there came a point when Aryans reached an agreement with the natives and exchanged culture. This marks the period of expansion of Vedic Hinduism. There were a lot of interracial marriages. The Aryans learnt the art of agriculture while the locals learnt about warfare. This was followed by gradual eastern expansion and marking of Later Vedic period. During this time, the caste system was introduced more rigidly. Essentially the more Aryan one is, the higher is their caste. This resulted in higher castes preserving more Aryan DNA as compared to lower castes. This is still seen today. Brahmins, the highest castes tend to have lighter skin tones and more Europoid features compared to other castes in Hinduism.

    Well, there is still a lot of European genetic heritage before the arrival of the eastern steppe people in the metal age (Indo-Europeans or Yamnayas). I only have 8% autosomal DNA from them, although my haplogroup is R1b1a1b, while I have 2% from Neanderthal, 30% from Western European Paleolithic hunter-gatherers and 60% from Caucasians from Anatolia. by the Danube and the Mediterranean in the Neolithic.

  • @DanDavisHistory
    @DanDavisHistory3 күн бұрын

    We can divide up our ancestry components in many different ways. However, you're mixing up Bronze Age, Paleolithic, and Neolithic ancestry components there. Europeans are largely made up from Anatolian Farmer, Western Hunter Gatherer (WHG), Eastern Hunter Gatherer (EHG), and Caucasus Hunter Gatherer (CHG). WHG and Anatolian DNA combined in the Neolithic to create a population known as Early European Farmer (EEF). And EHG and CHG combined on the Pontic steppe to create a population known as Western Steppe Herder (WSH). Europeans today are largely composed of different mixtures of WSH and EEF. Southern Europeans have more EEF than northern Europeans. Your Neanderthal admixture and Paleolithic admixture will be included in later populations, you don't separate it out like that.

    There should be an ad every 10 - 15 mins like TV. If there's more it's KZread adding them automatically. If you look it up, their algorithms calculate ad frequency for each individual viewer based on their maximum tolerance for adverts.
