  2. I have Hazel Eyes, i am from Turkey. my theory is that Hazel eyes are more frequent in populations who have mixed blue eyed and brown eyed people, as my grandfather has blue eyes and my grandmother has brown eyes, my father has hazel eyes and i got them too. both my father and i are also the only ones in the family possessing hazel eyes, the rest have brown and blue eyes.

  3. My wife has beautiful Hazel eyes that go from brownish to greenish to golden to almost electric green at times. It’s always been a sight to behold.

  4. There was a joke I heard some years ago," why are all the Scandinavian women so beautiful!?!" The reply for us was:" The Vikings didn't bring back any ugly ones" Bad taste, but still kind of funny

  5. Hazel eyes are the most beautiful eyes in the world!

  6. Well, I'm 63 and I've never known how to describe my eye colour... till today! I have the hazel sunburst centre, green above and blue/grey beneath. I always thought my eyes were just a confusing mess, now I know that this glorious variety of the spectrum is called hazel, and only 5% of the world have It. Whoopeee!🎉

  7. Thank you for NOT using an AI voice and for showing yourself on the video. I appreciate that!

  8. Yes, I have them. And when I married my fiancée Hazel, I told her that I've always had Hazel in my eyes . . .
    575
  9. I have Green Eyes and billions of freckles. It's Great to be Rare! Hello from Canada
    501
  10. Europe was particularly heavily forrested before the arrival of agricultural. Which would have further reduced light

  11. I lived in Iceland for quite a few years, and their genetic make up is interesting. The men have a Norse genetic inheritance on the Y Chromosome, whilst the women have a mostly Celtic inheritance on the X chromosome. It is genetic evidence of the Icelanders raiding Scotland and Ireland for women.

  12. I have Hazel Eyes, In the US Appalachian region, my primary ancestry is Scottish, Fifth Generation on my Mom's side. My Dad's side is Mulungeon, a mixed ethnicity native to the Appalachians; composed of Cherokee, Choctaw, British, Portuguese, possibly Turkish, and African ethnicities. My Dad's family has lived in the Appalachians for 400 years.

  13. Green hazel eye gang
    396
  14. We green eyed ones are the best looking
    372
  15. Don’t forget that childhood blond hair that turns brunette with adulthood is a different gene than blond ‘persistence’ into adulthood.
    352
  16. They wore tartan kilts just like the Irish kings. They lived in round houses just like the Irish and Brits. They had a q Celtic language like the Irish. They had the same kingly gold throne caps like those found in the bog of Cullen in tiperarry. They had the same bronze halberds weapons like the Irish. There's plenty more than just that . I'm writing a book on the Irish Spanish origins at the moment.even their tribes are called Tudo like the Irish Tuatha. "As they set sail gallantly from the sunny land s of Spain" 🍀🍀🍀🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 Irish and Spanish are brothers 👏👏👏

  17. I also have wondered why the Banshee wasn’t discussed more. When Colm talks about the Banshee, he says maybe she doesn’t wail, but just observes and takes notes, you have to start thinking about all the scenes with the Banshee in it. She enjoys gossip and stirring up trouble. When she is in the store with the lady who enjoys gossip, and then again outside the store, you never see anyone interact with her, do they even see her? When Siobhan is on the edge of the lake, the Banshee is waiving her over, Siobhan doesn’t have shoes on….I think she was contemplating taking her life, but then Dominic ends up drowned and it’s the Banshee who leads his father to his body. I think if you were to watch the movie again, with the Banshee in mind, you would see many little details like these. The inclusion of the Banshee gives the whole story a fable like quality. A brilliant movie…

  18. My eyes are hazel, and it is funny to hear people try and describe them. It's either green or brown, hazel isn't a word in their ocular vocabulary. The best thing about hazel eyes is that our eyes can seem to change color, it really confuses people. For example, when I got my first driver's license hazel wasn't an option in the system so they listed me as brown. A while later when I showed my license they thought my ID was fake cause my eye color was off, they said I had green eyes and wanted to know if I wore contacts.

  19. I'm 62 with blue eyes and I have a hard time driving on the road at night. These new headlights are blinding me!
    310
  20. shout out to the grey eyes folk
    307
  21. So in short the British people are the indigenous population of the British isles.
    302
  22. Hated it as a kid as everyone made fun of me. Now I'm laughing at 65 with very minimal gray hair! Lovin' the red!
    300
  23. I'm just grateful to have eyes that see!
    287
  24. Khaki-green eyed Asian here - hello from Kazakhstan! 👋
    279
  25. 👋🏼🙂 Hazel eyes here! They change with my mood and also with what I wear.
    267
  26. Fascinating! In Lebanon we have a minority occurrence of blonde hair and blue eyes. Not nearly as high as in northern Europe, but on par with the West Asia/Levant section of the map you showed at the beginning. The connection between West Asia, Siberia and Western Europe in terms of genetics is really mind blowing and good to know. Thanks for the info.
    265
  27. Green eyes. Left handed. Freckles. Scottish and Cornish.
    251
  28. Im irish ive black hair on my head and a red beard and ive green eye s .. proud Celt
    245
  29. Blue eyes are an adaption to CLOUD. Cloudy climates are low-light so light skin and eyes are an adaption. The Inuit don't have blue eyes because although they have low light in the winter they don't live in a cloudy climate like Europe.
    234
  30. Portuguese people are predominantly a Celtic nation by genetics and roman by culture. We are a southern and western people by history and geography.
    210
  31. Very interesting. Another thing to note is the actual name of the island “Inisherin”. “Inisherin” is a made up name. However note what its made up of:- “Inish + Erin”:- - “Inish” comes from the Irish language “Inis” and means “Island”. - “Erin” of course is an alternative name for Ireland, coming from the Irish language “Éirinn”. So even the name of the island actually means “Island of Ireland”. And of course, the dispute on the island between the 2 men, mirrors the actual civil war, going on in the actual mainland Island of Ireland.
    207
  32. I’m Scottish, Irish and English but 7% Scandinavian thanks to the Vikings.
    204
  33. Makes sense, I'm comfortable walking about my house in the near dark, and I prefer lamps over bright ceiling lights, and start wearing sunglasses earlier in the year than other people, as the sun feels bright.
    202
  34. My dad’s ancestors were Hebridean Scots and our tests showed a mix of Scottish, Norse and Irish DNA. I’ve got green eyes but my siblings inherited hazel eyes from our mom.
    193
  35. Yep, American here with West European ancestry and I have grey eyes… today. Other days they are grey-green when they feel like changing. And I hate the brightness, living in “The South” we get plenty of sun! ☀️ I live in dark sunglasses. 😎 ✌🏻
    193
  36. I'm a Spaniard and I was born in Andalucía. My Spanish DNA is just 27% and the rest is Germanic. Because I know the history of my ancestors but probably people like you, who don't know that in Spain we have a percent of people that are descendants of merchants that came from 5 centuries ago to Sevilla or Cadiz to trade directly with America through its ports.
    191
  37. I had brown eyes up until I was around 11. Then over the summer, my eyes turned green. My immediate family didn't even notice when I went back to school in September one of my teachers noticed over the next year they changed again and became Hazel and that's what they still are
    185
  38. When he says "ancient England" he means "ancient Britain". The Anglo-Saxons had yet to arrive. However, this channel is excellent and I have learned a lot.
    178
  39. TEXAN HERE: I have blond hair & green eyes. I'm genetically English, Scottish, Welsh & Irish. I'm the only person in my family with green eyes. Everyone else, on both sides have blue eyes. My son ended up with green eyes too.
    171
  40. I had my DNA test and found out that I'm 60% Scottish and Welsh, 20% Anglo-Saxon and 20% Native American. I didn't know any of this because I was adopted. But, I feel like visiting the British Isles and hanging out!
    170
  41. Ancestry from Danish Vikings cannot be calculated, as they were genetically indistinguishable from the Angles, Jutes and Saxons, all originating from the same geographical area. Norse ancestry can be differentiated, as they do differ genetically from the Danes.
    168
  42. Well you forgot to mention that some are born blonde but later at the start of puberty become brown haired blue eyed, I was blonde until I was 6 or 7 years old and then my hair changed to brown. Now I'm grey-brown blue eyed. ;)
    167
  43. My mam had blonde hair & blue eyes.. she passed away two yrs ago. I have blue eyes like her 👀 my dad dark curly hair with green eyes 😊 thanks for the video. From UK.
    165
  44. Beautiful people. 💙🤍👱‍♀️
    162
  45. I am an American with 100% Norwegian heritage. My mother had green eyes. My father had blue eyes. My brother has blue eyes. I have hazel eyes. My eyes have an outer ring of dark blue. The next area is sage green. Then the inside area is golden. There are also small flecks of burgundy scattered around. The green and golden areas are about even now.
    153
  46. Hello my hazel friends, I'm a Belgian 89 year old woman who received lots of compliments for those eyes when I was young, they are light brown with specks of yellow and green
    149
  47. It's nice to know our ancestors have been on these islands for thousands of years.
    147
  48. My Ancestry DNA: 49% English. 31% Irish, 11% Welsh, 3% Scottish, 4% Danish and 2% German. 55% Germanic, 45% Celtic. Born in England with an Irish surname. A mixture of the history of these isles 🇬🇧 🇮🇪
    146
  49. He didn’t just die in the lake he killed himself. Also at the start of the movie he is carrying the same pole that pulls him out of the lake. The banshee was also called the sister into the lake, because she had her shoes taken off. The banshee also talked of two deaths. The sister made a choice….. She chose Life
    142
  50. I'm the hazel-eyed daughter of two blue-eyed parents from Appalachia. My DNA says I'm mostly from England, Scotland, and Ireland -- with a little bit of North Africa and Native America as well.
    134
  51. I'm a California girl with hazel green eyes. I'm of Scots Irish descent on my mother's side and Swedish on my father's side (if he was telling the truth). To be honest, when I was younger I was so jealous of my mother's beautiful blue eyes...they were stunning. However, as an adult I am very proud of my hazel eyes. My husband of 25 years still says my eyes are my most devastating feature. And I'm totally cool with that! Embrace the Hazel!! 👀 😂
    132
  52. As a galician I appreciate this video and thank you for helping spread our history.
    132
  53. The Scythians were an Aryan race closely related to the Tocharians. The Tamrin mummies found in China are believed to be Tocharian. They were a tall red and blonde haired people. Red hair seems to be distributed along with the R1b y-dna haplogroup. The highest frequency of red hair and R1b outside of Europe is the Russian ethnic group called the Udmurts.
    129
  54. Hello from franconia,a region in the middle of germany, to the greeneyed brothers and sisters
    125
  55. Black hair and blue eyes is common in Ireland , right? Gorgeous people.
    125
  56. Um brasileiro orgulhoso da sua origem aqui ❤🇵🇹🇧🇷
    124
  57. My Danish grandfather had black curly hair and blue eyes !
    124
  58. I have hazel eyes that are green dominant. My husband always told me that I had the most beautiful eyes that he had ever seen. He was the most ❤beautiful man that I ever seen. I spent 32 years of my life with him. I love him, still. 😢
    123
  59. Estonian here. Estonians mostly have Gray/Silver eyes. I know that it is considered to be a shade of Blue, but you can deffenetly tell Blue from Gray appart!
    123
  60. My wife and I did such a DNA test. My wife is Viking Heritage (Northern Netherlands) and I myself Celtic Heritage (South-West Netherlands). As you can imagine, we fight it out every day:)
    122
  61. Happy to see a channel in English that knows about the important Celtic heritage in northwestern Spain. 💚 We're so often forgotten by other Celtic nations.
    113
  62. Just a hint, "Van Gogh" rhymes with "Loch" (in a Scots' accent).
    113
  63. I'm 65 and always thought my eye colour was boring. So happy to come across this video. I now feel very differently about my eyes. Now if only they were bigger. 😊
    113
  64. Women adore blue eyes. They practically worship them. What's the first thing women look for when they see a baby? It's eye color.
    112
  65. Much love to the Vikings from a fellow Briton
    107
  66. I grew up thinking my eyes were sort of a lighter cinnamon brown; in adulthood, my sister told me my eyes are more amber-hazel. I looked closer at my eyes in different lights... and she's right! A unique and pretty range of colors.
    105
  67. Just to make it clear. As a child, I was tortured with no mercy. But by high school, I loved my red hair and am proud of my originality. I would never give it up.
    104
  68. My friend who has very interesting Hazel eyes has streaks of red in her iris. I've never seen any eyes like this. It's beautiful.
    102
  69. The reason you see a parallel between the Yamnaya and the Vikings, is because the Vikings were the last surviving example of the pan Indo European "Mannerbunde" style all male warrior band societies. One of the things that the Indo European culture brought was the idea of a male warrior elite who would be thought of as "outside of the rules" who would go raiding outsiders and often stealing their women as a way of proving themselves.These warrior bands often had totemic relationships to wolves and bears. <like Norse Berserkers etc> Dan Davis has an excellent video about this phenomenon and how it explains the gender skewing of the surviving genetics in European societies.
    101
  70. Red haired women are just gorgeous
    99
  71. Yep, I'm a ranga (redhead). Over 6 foot, red curly hair, pale skin, green eyed Aussie 👍🍻🇦🇺
    98
  72. My daughter calls her eye color 'hazel' but actually they are a blue green in color, and can vary color, depending upon what she is wearing, or the weather. Outdoors, if there is snow on the ground, her eyes are vividly blue. Sometimes they are very green. Our ancestry is British Isles and German.
    98
  73. Mine are grayish blue with the gold/brown specs. My eyes seem to change color and sometimes look greenish.
    96
  74. I am a guy with hazel eyes. Today I wore a yellow hoodie and my eyes looked yellow and green. Lots of compliments.
    96
  75. My R1b ancestors
    96
  76. I remember reading that the number of redheads in Norway in the Viking age was much higher than today as well
    95
  77. Green eyes - my best feature and they are very striking and change colour with different lighting and clothing colour. People are captivated by them and I know it. Scottish Irish and welsh ancestry.
    92
  78. I'm Australian borne with ancestry from all over the map. Gotta say, knowing that I have ancestors from all over the place is great. So many adventurous people getting together. I love it so much ❤
    91
  79. I have some Scandinavian blood, bright green eyes. I believe Vikings had a lot of green eyed people.
    91
  80. The Portuguese people are a genetic mixture of many peoples who invaded Iberia. Many congratulations on the presentation and the research you did. A hug.
    90
  81. I might be wrong, but I think Eli from Russia is from that region.
    89
  82. The Vikings and Saxons have definitely influenced the British isles with hair and eye colour , my town is an old danish settlement and most people are clearly of Saxons and Viking origins
    88
  83. I have Hazel eyes... I am from Canada 🇨🇦 I noticed that my eye color changes with my mood. When I am upset they turn more greenish, as when I am joyful they are more gold. I do agree there are Spiritual aspects related to eye color, being the eyes are a mirror to the Soul 🦋
    87
  84. Fascinating! Without knowing much about the country, never would've guessed Finland was so uniquely different from its neighbours. Thank you.
    85
  85. I am Kurdish and we are an Indo European nation
    83
  86. Thank you so much for spreading word of our Galician heritage so eloquently. I Hail from Galicia and Asturias where Celtic Roots run deep. I certainly hope that by openly educating others about our common heritage we may realize the deep kinship between our respective lands. I hope it spurs us to continue a lively mutual collaboration to inform ourselves and others of our Common Celtic heritage and to spark deep interest leading to the re-awakening of our culture.
    83
  87. They don't really know why Siberian Huskies have blue eyes either
    79
  88. I’m English and Welsh mostly but have Scottish , Irish and Scandinavian DNA. Live in England , Blue eyed once Blonde old man.
    78
  89. Green eyes USA here. Celtic roots ❤
    78
  90. Galician language gave origin to portuguese hence the difference between Castillan language and Portuguese. Portugal and Galiza are what remains of the iberian celtic culture. Portugal means "The port of the Galicians"
    76
  91. Greetings from a Galician Puerto Rican, we came from the Pueblo of Piñeiro, Galicia. Funny enough, I had an Irish grandfather who came to Puerto Rico to serve in the Spanish army against the US when they invaded my island. One of my Galician grandfathers was also a soldier who went all the way up to Flanders, France to serve the Bélico Monarquía Hispánica. I had to search up this history on my own, that and my family history.
    76
  92. It’s good to hear that the ancient Britons weren’t completely left behind in the genetic markers in England 💯✌️
    74
  93. This makes sense. I could never understand why my brown-eyed wife kept turning the lights on, even in the middle of the day.
    74
  94. Had my DNA tested, and as an American, having approximately 73% German markers is exceedingly rare according to online studies and such. My paternal haplogroup is I1, so my clan probably originated in Scandinavia then moved south. Such interesting and fascinating stuff.
    73
  95. My husband and I both have Vikings in our family tree and similar colourings 😅 His eyes are a lovely blue green and mine are closest to a dark bottle green. My hair is somewhere between a dull brown and old gold kind of colour. Our children have very blue eyes with white blonde and strawberry blonde hair respectively.
    72
  96. I have one hazel eye, predominately green with some gold around the iris. My right eye is blue with green starburst around the iris.
    71
  97. I have green eyes, a beard (slightly reddish) and black hair, I was born in Rome. As a child I had very blonde hair, then it became dark in color
    71
  98. I'm an American living in Arkansas. I have red/blond hair and blue eyes. My 7th great grandfather was born in Scotland and moved to Ireland in the 1600's after he fought in the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in Scotland. My ancestors came to America in 1699.
    70
  99. 49 % Spanish, 50% indigenous American. One Spanish Ancestor was basque and was in an expedition. The other a merchant to Jalisco. I live in the UK , not been to Spain yet.
    70
  100. Interesting. Of course, I thought Mrs. McCormick was one of the Banshees. I didn’t think Siobhán was the other Banshee. I thought the other Banshee was the statue of the Virgin Mary. The reason I think it wasn’t Siobhán, it was the statue, is because Gleason characterized the banshees as figures that “didn’t wail, but sat back and watched”. Siobhán, as a character, was too involved to fit that criteria. But the statue of Virgin Mary, which is obviously quite spiritual and mystical and nature, silently presided above the town. It very much fit Gleason’s characterization. I felt Mrs. McCormick represented, or connected the characters to a “dark” pre-Christian past. And that The Virgin Mary represented the presence and prevalence of Christianity, and the societal troubles that revolves around it in their present Ireland. McCormick, a living artifact of the past, and the statue, a lifeless monument to the forces of change that were imposed upon Irish. McCormick was mystical, and in touch with the nature of things to a supernatural extent. She was so in tune with the tides of things that she could be called prophetic. She was a force of uncompromising, and often undesired, truth, however grim or bleak it may be. And the Virgin Mary, a symbol for salvation, for reprieve, for comfort and for sanctuary from the unrelenting bleak hopelessness of their situation. Rather than serving as a figure that would help people to cope with reality by confronting it’s ugliness, the Statue of the Virgin Mary served as a figure that helped people cope through her gentle placation.

  101. I'm an American from the South, which has always been (along with parts of New England) very ethnically homogeneous among the European derived population - mainly British, broadly speaking.  My maternal grandfather was an Englishman from the midlands, and he married an American from an Ulster Scot/German family. On my father's side, we are a mashup of English, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish, in approximately that order. I'm sort of a bastard son of the entirety of the British Isles :D I would love to have some comprehensive genetic tests done, to compare to your excellent research; but I am wary of giving my genetic information to anyone lightly. Perhaps you could suggest some trustworthy sources that you might know of? Thanks for all your work, I always look forward to new videos.
    70
  102. Regarding slavery and gene flow from Northern Europe to the Middle East, the Muslim world raided Europe for slaves for around 1200 years. This occurred as far north and west as southern Iceland as late as the mid-1800s. The U.S. Marines were created to stop the depredation of American merchant vessels, passengers, and crews by the Barbary (North Africa) Pirates.
    69
  103. There many Jewish people with red hair and some of the people mentioned in the Bible had red hair.
    69
  104. They have done recent dna studies showing that the Irish , Scottish & British share dna ancestry with the Spaniards.
    69
  105. I thought Gleesons characters passion for the traditional music was also significant. His intense obsession with creating music as a legacy of his name also divides the friends. Was this meant to represent the civil war being fought to uphold Gealic culture tradition versus ' things as they are, have been'?
    68
  106. Maybe it's also because Inuits and related people have only been that far north for 5000 years but Europeans were there during the ice age. Also, evolutionary mutation is always partly by chance, part selection. Would explain why Siberian Huskies have blue eyes, but there are plenty of northern dog breeds that do not have blue eyes.
    67
  107. Most of my family is from Brittany, but my close family lives in Paris. The reason there was such a drop from the 20th century to the 21st was that the French government attempted to kill the language but forbidding its use in schools, or even giving your children celtic names. It's pretty recent to be able to do that actually. I don't know breton but my grandmother had given me a vocabulary book of Breton and I wish I knew where it is because I want to learn it now.
    67
  108. As a southern European who lived in the Netherlands, I can guarantee the Dutch are tall for real ;)
    66
  109. I’m an Ameri-mutt so of course I’ve got English DNA
    66
  110. I’m from Galicia in Spain, we have towns that are up to 80% redhead. Our history says our founding fathers came from Scythian and Sarmatian tribes.
    66
  111. My father was Scottish with Norwegian ancestry. My mother was from York in Northern England. I have Dupertryns contracture. So I know I have Viking blood!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇳🇴
    66
  112. Sixth generation Australian here, living right on top of the Tropic of Capricorn. I am of black Irish and Scots descent, with green dominant hazel eyes, as do most of my seven siblings. One brother has blue eyes.
    65
  113. Don't forget that Yamnaya carried an early version of Yersinia Pestis(also known as the plague).
    65
  114. I have green eyes but people often think they are blue or grey. It depends on the color of the clothes I wear and lighting.
    65
  115. I'm mostly Finnish. Siberian origins, eh? Well, these old genes have come full circle. I'm also a bit Icelandic, was born in Minnesota, and I live in Alaska. ;^)
    65
  116. Blessings from Sweden 🇸🇪
    63
  117. Green eyes from Spain. My aunt and my 3 nephews have green eyes too.
    63
  118. Im from Norway with green eyes.
    62
  119. Portugal has much more of a boreal side than people think; that's usually the biggest missing piece in foreigners' perception. 🏞️⛰️🌲🏔️🌳🏕️ Celtic and Germanic heritage, culture and music; mountains and wilderness, snow and wintry scenarios...
    62
  120. I'm 52 and today years old when I found out I have hazel eyes. So thanks for that. I feel special now. I knew they were lighter than brown but nowhere as light a green or amber (which is what I thought hazel was). I think there's a lot more hazel eyed people around but we report them as brown on our legal documents. I can understand how people in vastly brown eyed countries would report theirs as different and mark them as hazel. Mine are swampy green, with rust center sunflowers, and gold ribbons.
    61
  121. As a Finn I have to say that I love your accent. For some reason I have this same way of speaking and I have no clue why it got to be that way .
    61
  122. It's a shame you didn't speak about Cornwall - Always forgotten yet one of the longest histories and languages. I suppose that was the intention of the Anglo-saxons, sad. I identify as Cornish and count myself among Celts equally to Wales or Scotland
    60
  123. Wales also had Irish population invasions in north-west and south-west of Wales. The Irish Desi tribe into south-west Wales Dyfed area, for instance.
    60
  124. I'm half Scottish half Spanish xD this hits hard
    60
  125. Herodotus says the Scythians own name for themselves was "Scoloti".
    59
  126. Portuguese here, results of my DNA, 69.5 Iberian, 27.1 Italian, 3.4 Finnish
    59
  127. Switzerland is a fascinating collection of language and ethnicities. Much love to the Swiss people from this British-American.
    58
  128. There is an old place in Istanbul called Galata which is famously known by the Galata tower and the football club Galatasaray. So galata basically evolved from Galatia which means Celt or celtic country
    58
  129. My father is from Navarre, the real básque land and he got a 100% iberian test.
    58
  130. Without having seen this video, or known much about banshees beforehand, it was clear to both me and my husband that the old woman doubled as a mythological figure - both real and archetypal at the same time. At times it also seemed like Dominic was something of the holy fool, which led us to wondering if all the figures were archetypal in some way. SO speculated the film was about depression at heart, and certainly the isolation and the tension of small communities, where horrors (domestic and sexual abuse in this one) are often known, yet go unchecked because the community does not know how to deal with them. But perhaps really the core relationship breakdown is a reflection of the civil war, as you point out, and Colm cutting off his fingers and preventing himself from doing the very thing he end his friendship with Padraic for, reflects the futility and sacrifice of civil war? Perhaps the fact that there are so many layers is what makes this such a good film though, and trying to fix on one meaning or another, or find a definitive reading, is actually a way of reducing the film. It’s certainly a film which warrants more than one watch, that’s for sure though.

  131. I'm Hungarian and have reached the same conclusion. There are people in my family, both my grandfather's and my brother with blue eyes, quite many with hazel and amber eyes, and some with real brown eyes. That is the smallest percentage as most have a mixture of blue/brownish.
    57
  132. I understood that Viking DNA in England and Anglo Saxon DNA are so similar they are indistinguishable.
    57
  133. I’m descendent from Clan Stewart, Douglas and Campbell. I’m enjoying your channel.
    57
  134. My eyes are very green. I have had people complement me all my life. According to ancestry, I am Scottish, Irish, Welsh, and English. We have traced our family back to the 1500’s in England. I have a letter that was written to my Great Great Grandfather, it was by a woman suitor who said she missed looking into his “emerald green eyes”. My mother also had green eyes, but a slightly different shade.
    56
  135. I have light blue/grey eyes and my LivingDNA Viking index is 73% and mostly belongs with the Swedish Vikings that formed the Kievan Rus.
    56
  136. My family migrated from Portugal to Hawaii in the 1800. My mom was born in Hawaii. Her family is from Madeira. Every time someone met my mom for the first time, they thought she was Spanish.
    56
  137. I am of Scottish, Irish , German descent and I have hazel eyes
    55
  138. I have green eyes, inherited them from my mother. She is Scottish descent, we are the Frasier clan. My boyfriend also has green eyes. He is part of the Maxwell clan.
    55
  139. The cloudy skies often found in Scotland and Ireland (even in Summer LOL) also cut down on the sunshine which may add to the effect of the short winter daylight hours.
    54
  140. I would love to know more about red-haired people with blue or green eyes, and how that might be related to the blonde/blue-eyed subject of this video. Thanks. Enjoyed this video.
    54
  141. I'm German. In my family there are blonde hair with blue eyes, blonde hair with brown eyes and dark brown hair with brown eyes. A cousin is red-haired with green-blue eyes. My eldest brother tans very quickly in the sun and he is very different from the others. We Germans are a mix.
    54
  142. White blonde my whole life with blue eyes as well… I sure got lots of stares in Asia and the Middle East.
    54
  143. I am a blonde haired , blue eyed, Red- bearded Scotsman that grew up in Australia when I was 2 years old And lived there for 40 Years But was born in Scotland and have Northern English ancestry ( Yorvik!) on my Mother’s side. And Scottish, English and part Norwegian on my fathers side.
    54
  144. Hazel eyes here that appear blue-green-grey, depending upon the light and my mood (when I cry or have a headache my eyes appear bright green).
    53
  145. I found a picture taken at my grandparents' ca. 1960. All the women seated at the table had red hair: my mother, my paternal grandmother, and my great uncle Frank's wife. Some northern European men definitely have a thing for redheads.
    53
  146. Just to be pedantic, sorry, but I am a biochemist, lactase is an enzyme that digests lactose (milk sugar), so that the calorific yield of milk digestion is maximised. In most mammals it is only present in the young, who are being suckled. In some humans this enzyme continues to be produced in adulthood so that drinking milk (from cows, goats etc) remains very metabolically profitable, this is 'lactASE persistence', which confers 'lactOSE tolerance' - there is no 'lactase tolerance'. It is very easy to confuse the names, though one being a sugar (lactose) and the other an enzymatic protein (lactase), they are very different chemically.
    53
  147. I’m an Australian with a Scottish father.I have done a DNA test on ancestry and been contacted by 3 cousins from Scotland who had already done a quite extensive family tree.I still had to do my own research to go down some of my ancestors lines.I didn’t know where my Norwegian DNA had come from until I found that my paternal grandmothers descent was from the Orkney islands of Westray and papa Westray.
    53
  148. A Finnish guy here, I did a DNA test (23AndMe), what I've understood I got a very typical result in Finland: The maternal haplogroup is H, common in Europe generally, and the paternal haplogroup is N-M178, which is common in men with indigenous Siberian ancestry.
    53
  149. Thank you for making a video about the Celts of Iberia. We are as proud of our culture and heritage as any of our Celtic Brothers and Sisters
    53
  150. Thank you! I am Galician and always felt connected to the emerald isle👍
    53
  151. As a Portuguese, I found this video interesting and educational! Also, love your accent! Cheers
    52
  152. I'm of Scots-Irish heritage and have grey eyes. There's a guy on YouTube called Rainbolt who is maybe the world's best geoguesser, and he has grey eyes. Caitlin Clark of the WNBA also has grey eyes.
    52
  153. As a Fraser living in Canada my family is proud of our highland past. We kept the highland traditions strong in this foreign land.
    51
  154. The elephant in the room, is that the Anglo Saxon languages rapidly became the languages of Britain , without any significant contribution of Latin or native British languages. This implies that there werent a lot of Latin speakers left at the time of Anglo Saxon invasion. If there was simply a matter of an Anglo Saxon elite conquering a native Romano-British population and enforcing hegemony, you would have seen a similar pattern of linguistic shift as you see when you have a similar demographic shift during the later Norman conquest, ie the elites speak one language, the peasants speak another and the languages drift together over time. Since we dont see that pattern, and functionally no linguistic influence from RomanoBritish languages this strongly implies that the early Dark Ages RomanoBritish population was very very small and weak, and was essentially swamped by the incoming AngloSaxons
    50
  155. When making references to Anatolia, one should not forget to mention, that modern Turkish people settled in what is now Anatolia only from the 11th Century A.D.. They came from a region spanning Central Asia to Mongolia to Southern Siberia.
    50
  156. I'm a Spaniard (all my ancestors for four generations were from the province of Málaga) and I got my DNA tested a couple of years ago. I have the typical ancestry of most Spaniards but I also have 7.5% Balkan and 4.5% Ashkenazi Jewish (not Sephardic) blood. I have no idea how that happened
    50
  157. I just got my DNA test results back I am born and bred English but it turns out I was 51% Scottish and 34% English quite a suprise!
    49
  158. I'm a basque spanish and I recently took a DNA test. I'm 85% basque, 14% spaniard (unspecified) and 1% sardinian. Didn't expect to be 1% italian but it's cool I guess😂
    49
  159. I have red hair and blue eyes, big red beard with blonde eyebrows, eyelashes and mustache. Ive done the DNA tests before, and ive often gotten results back from being primarily German with a mix of Scottish, English, Swedish, Danish and Russian. I also love cold weather and I hate the sun aside from having it grow food for my food Looks like i checked off just about every box xD
    49
  160. The sister's name Siobahn can mean 'white fairy' and comes from the same roots as Banshee. She is the first one to predict that Colm "does not like you anymore' to her brother in the scene where she is hanging laundry.
    49
  161. I come from a large Irish family …my mother had gray eyes father had hazel brown eyes they had 3 boys with brown eyes, 1 girl with green hazel, 1 girl green blue, 1 boy gray, and 1 boy deep blue eyes…
    49
  162. My husband’s eye color has changed as he’s aged. At 32, his eyes were a medium ( milk chocolate) brown. Now, at 74, his eyes are hazel, with green being the dominant color.
    48
  163. My son has hazel-green- grey eyes. They shift colors according to the color of clothes he wears. Light levels also change his eyes.
    48
  164. Blue eyes, lighter skin, taller. Just like a plant reaching for light. That is how we humans adapted. The blue eyes, to adapt to lower light northern regions.
    48
  165. Now you've done it. I've got grey/green eyes and now I'm feeling all special like.
    48
  166. I’m 75% Norwegian and 25% Sami. My mother had dark brown hair and hazel eyes. My father was blonde with blue eyes. All my relatives are mostly tall and slender. Proud of my heritage!
    48
  167. I love his accent 😂
    48
  168. I think green eyes are awesome. I have brown eyes. But in the end, it isn't so much about the color as about the person's personality showing in their eyes. Eyes are windows of the soul!
    47
  169. The Highlanders were replaced by Sheep, because their own elites saw more money in wool, mutton and lamb than in rent. Let that sink in as a lesson for all time.
    47
  170. I just found out I have French DNA. This was nice to watch.
    47
  171. Some years ago, I was thumbing through a book in a Barnes & Noble in Emeryville, CA. The author mentioned that during their spread south, the ancient Germanic tribes absorbed an Indo-European-speaking population that lived along the Rhine. The Germans are conscious of a phenotypical difference in their population. I remember a date and I once talking to a young German lady from the Rhineland who noted how stereotypically Germanic we were with our blond hair and green and blue eyes, and that she was a "swarthy" Rhinelander. The waviness of my date's blonde hair was no doubt a legacy of her ancestor Robert E. Lee.
    46
  172. Greetings from Ireland. I have always marvelled how people across so much of Europe all look so similar. A solitary irishman can blend into the crowd everywhere from the Uk to Greece. From the pyrenees to Russia. The answer.....similar ancestors.
    46
  173. hazel green eyes with golden flecks that definitely appear to shift hues at times ~ both my parents have blue: dad's background's irish & welsh, mom's is irish & scottish - but my grams always asserted not scotch irish
    46
  174. She's tatar but lives close to udmurtia
    45
  175. Excellent overview! I'm Dutch from Frisian decent on my father's side an Hugenot from my mother's side of the family. The cultural divide between north and south is real but not divisive in nature.
    45
  176. Fascinating, i had no idea hazel was more rare than blue
    45
  177. The east was the economical and scientific heart of the empire and it lasted until 1453 (or 1461).
    45
  178. The Vikings sailed down major water ways all over Europe which is why there are so many Ukrainians with blue and green eyes. The Vikings sailed down the river Dnipro and left their DNA behind in the local women. Blond hair and blue eyes is very common in Ukraine.
    45
  179. I don't like Hollywood's sexuality insertions, race swapping or gender change of historical characters.
    45
  180. I was born with hazel eyes. They turned green as I got older.
    45
  181. I have green eyes with dark brown hair and very pale skin. Greetings from Germany ☺️
    44
  182. 2006 is stone age when it comes to genetic science. The Sykes study was very crude and just looks at uniparental markers. It is completely debunked. Just look at studies since 2015 to understand ancient genetics. Cunliffe's theory doesn't hold water since the spread of Celt material culture begins in central Europe. The POBI study didn't actually use ancient samples to determine the Anglo-Saxon ancestry while the 2016 one from nature did, but only ten samples so wasn't as conclusive as the new one from this week which has hundreds of samples including 80 Anglo-Saxon skeletons. The new paper is the only one you need to refer to for this
    44
  183. Celtic Druids are the Dhruyu tribe mentioned in the Rig Veda that at some point emigrated from India in the Proto-Indo European phase.
    44
  184. Spot on. Just to point out that the town you mentioned is nowadays the city of Porto or Oporto in northern Portugal and it was the border between Galicia or Callaecia and Lusitania to the south. All northern Portuguese and Spanish from Galicia are descendants of the Callaeci or Gallaeci or Kallaikoi in ancient Greek and not the Lusitanos, although they were very much related to each other. Also the river Douro in Porto comes from the Celtic or Callaecian word Dwr meaning water. Only recently i realised that some words that i learned with my older family members and i still use them are only spoken in the north of portugal and some come from Celtic like Anho in Portuguese - Akno in Celtic meaning lamb, the rest of the country call it borrego. Camisa (shirt ) is Celtic too. As many others. The trade and DNA links in those times would go all the way from Iberia to Cornwall and parts of southern England , Wales, Ireland and Scotland. I wonder if Galway in Ireland could be related to “the way to Calle or Galle” depending on the pronunciation . Thats maybe why i fell so at home living in Somerset,England. Most northern Portuguese festivities named after catholic Saints were in fact pagan festivals and one of the biggest being São João (st John) in Porto. It was a festival to the Gods of harvest and fertility. Anyway, great video. Congrats 👏🏻
    44
  185. I'm Portuguese, this is my DNA results: 62.7% Iberian 23.1% English 4.5% Italian 2.8% Ashkenazi Jew 4.3% North African 1.7% Nigerian 0.9% middle east
    44
  186. I'm descended from Colin Campbell (Argyll branch) and was fortunate to visit Castle Campbell and Inverary Castle a couple of years ago. Exploring the land of my roots was a big bucket list item fulfilled for me.
    43
  187. You’ll find a lot more blonde people in Lithuania, I was quite surprised to see even more than I had in Sweden. Specially outside of Vilnius.
    43
  188. Was always told I was English. Did a DNA test and found out I am 30% Scot. That might explain my love for Scottish music. 😊
    43
  189. Virginia, USA here! I have green eyes, freckles and auburn hair. My family ancestry is primarily from Scotland.
    43
  190. The Western Europeans captured by the Barbary pirates and taken into slavery may also have had a genetic impact on the Middle East, possibly increasing the percentage of people with light eyes.
    43
  191. That shot of her beckoning the sister to walk into the water was SUPERR creepy.. especially since she had her shoes off an that's the lake the parents drowned in
    43
  192. I'm hazel. Appalachian Scot mostly.
    42
  193. I absolutely loved this movie. Saw it two weeks ago and am still thinking about it. Will definitely see it again (and again?) Thanks for educating us on Banshees. Also, thanks to all who are contributing their thoughts in the comments. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
    42
  194. The dark hair didn't come from southern Europe it came from native population of Scandinavia's hunter gatherers, which have dark hair and blue eyes. The blond hair, light skin and green/ grey eye color came from Corded Ware people who invaded Scandinavian countries 2500BC. They introduced R1a haplogroup to the natives I1 haplogroup, The R1b haplogroup came mostly from slaves, which Vikings brought from Britain (R1b being the Celtic haplogroup) in big numbers.
    42
  195. Celts are true serbs!!!!!
    42
  196. 4.7% of my DNA is Scandinavian. I have blue/gray eyes and strawberry blonde hair. I'm already silver, so I color my hair now.
    42
  197. I have grey eyes, with a hint of blue. My son and 5 siblings are the same. We got them from our dad. They have different colour flecks in them. I've always wished for bluer ones, or green, but I just appreciate that they work.
    42
  198. Ancient Celtic settlements in Galicia and Northern Portugal are very visible today and they form a tapestry of the many peoples who make up the Iberian DNA.
    42
  199. Hello from the Welsh American Channel. We Welsh Americans are very proud of our DNA, ancient heritage and our achievements in the US. Cymru am byth!"
    42
  200. Yup 👍. There a rare good looking group of humans 😄
    41
  201. Interesting! So this means to refer to the English as “Anglo-Saxon” is pretty inaccurate. Only 10-40% of their DNA is Anglo Saxon, the majority of their DNA is Celtic Ancient Briton.  This makes sense. The idea that the Anglo Saxons somehow killed or drove out the entire local population after the Romans left without leaving any archeological trace has always seemed far-fetched! But there is also a theory that some of that “Anglo-Saxon” DNA derives from people who were already in England when the Romans arrived. The “Saxon Shore” to which the Romans referred has always been assumed to mean the coast on which “Saxon” newcomers arrived. But it could equally mean the shore already inhabited by Saxons at the time the Romans invaded. Steven Oppenheimer discusses this in “The Origins of the British”, and Simon Jenkins mentions it in his book “The Celts” as well.
    41
  202. I am a Spaniard with Scottish ancestors from my mother's side. My grandmother had the Gordon surname, from Embo, Scotland. I am proud of my Scottish heritage!
    41
  203. I was born in Scotland with my mother being from Yorvik ancestry going back 700 years. On my Fathers side he is English/ Scottish and part Norwegian on his father’s side. I found this video illuminating thank you brother. 😎💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇳🇴
    41
  204. Another explanation for the concentration of North African genetic signals clustering in the north of Iberia is that they predate the Islamic Expansion. Iberomaurusian people were migrating to Iberia from North Africa since prehistory.
    40
  205. The Celt influence is still very much palpable in north of Portugal. We are proud of that origin. I wish we could find more about these far ancestors.
    40
  206. I really thought of the island as the other banshee. In my mind, the only “survivor” who seems to actually prosper and move forward is the sister who got off the island. Even those left alive on the island are no longer flourishing but more like the walking dead. This film just gets better and better the more we talk about it! Thanks!
    40
  207. My mom did a dna test and it came back Scotland, Ireland, and what is modern day Afghanistan. It confused us but I think you just answered how that was possible 😀
    39
  208. Gotta love women with long red hair and blue or green eyes😍
    39
  209. I’m a Scottish American. I have some English and Irish as well, but most of my family is Scottish in origin. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸
    39
  210. I'm not convinced that the Hallstatt culture were "THE" proto-Celts. I'm more in favour of the Celts originating as a common linguistic and cultural area of the Bell Beaker peoples. The linguistic models of the divergence of many Celtic languages from Proto-Celtic are simply irreconcilable with the Hallstatt theory.
    39
  211. Clans MacGregor, Stewart, Bruce, and Campbell here.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thanks for making such high-quality and informative videos about Scotland. I can’t get enough.
    38
  212. Redhead girls are so gorgeous and Red Head characters in fiction always look cool.
    38
  213. Rarer things are more precious, so i'm glad I have bluey green eyes.
    37
  214. I’m a 1st generation Australian of Scottish descent.I always knew I was descended from Scottish ancestors but when I did a DNA test it came back that I also had Norwegian DNA.I was contacted through ancestry by 3 second cousins from Scotland who helped me with our common ancestral lineage and it turns out my ancestors had come from the Orkney islands.In particular the island of Westray.I reckon it’s a fair bet that’s where my Norwegian DNA probably comes from.
    37
  215. 4:55 The North vs. South genetic division is also perceptible by the linguistic division: French to the North of the Loire vs. Occitan to the South.
    36
  216. Ireland had a clan system too although not as feudal as the scottish system.
    36
  217. Its possible that the Picts were a 'para-celtic' people, representing decedents of the indo-european bell-beaker culture who were a sister branch of the later Celts, Germans and Italic peoples that entered Britain in the second millennium BC. The strange thing is, is that we find languages similar to celtic ones in areas long before the Hallstatt culture spread westward, such as the Ligurians, Lusitanians and possibly the Tartessians, or that perhaps the Picts were a unique sub-branch of the Celtic language family apart from Brythonic and Gaelic. The evolution of the Celtic languages away from proto-Celtic is poorly understood so plenty of room for a Pictish language.
    36
  218. As a Swedish Irish and Scottish blooded American it is funny as hell to hear people butcher my Swedish last name🤣
    36
  219. Also the rarest people on earth, blonde hair and blue eyes. I was born with blue eyes and blonde hair but now my hair has gradually darkened into eventually dark brown
    36
  220. Im German, love your accent
    35
  221. I am Portuguese and my family is from the Madeira archipelago and southern Portugal, according to Ancestry DNA, I am 73% Portuguese,23% Spanish, 2% Ireland, 1% Scotland and 1% North Africa.
    35
  222. My folks came from all over Britain, and Ireland to a lesser extent, with a bit of German from one of my grandmothers. I ended up with gray eyes, with blue and green flecks, so depending on the light conditions, they could look somewhat more like any of the three. I got pulled over by the police one time. On my driver's license, gray eyes are listed. The cop looked at me and said, "You're eyes look green to me", and then started harassing me because he thought I was somehow faking my identity, lol.
    35
  223. I'm a black American and i have blue eyes but, they are a darker color blue. Hello from Michigan.
    35
  224. So basically, the history I was taught at school 60 years ago was quite accurate. 🤔
    35
  225. I'm an Irishman with gray eyes although they can look faded green in certain lighting
    35
  226. I’ve seen opaque grey eyes in South Texas among people with Spanish heritage. Pale skin, black hair and grey eyes. Very beautiful combo.
    35
  227. Steven MacMillan should record an audiobook because the accent is just to die for, it’s so calming I love it!
    35
  228. This is the kind of specific nerd stuff my brain craves! Thank you!
    34
  229. Thank you for sharing! Very interesting. I live in USA. I have 48% England and Northwestern Europe, 18% Sweden and Denmark,16% Scotland, 9% German, 4% Ireland, 2% Wales, 2% Norway, and 1% Baltics.
    34
  230. Would love to see something on,Scott, Anderson, Douglas clans. Love your content.
    34
  231. blue eyes see better at night and were adapted for dark environments
    34
  232. My Clan were one of the Gallowglass Clans who went to Ireland at the behest of the Irish Kings in order to fight the Norman Invasion. The Gallowglass themselves a mix of Gael and Norse peoples from Scotland.
    34
  233. I think they were tall, based on Viking burial site excavations. They always claim that they're grandparents were dark, etc., but BS. They are generally tall, blonde, good looking, and should just accept that they are good looking and have a great history. They are very accepting and progressive today, which is likely part of why they're happy people. I've always admired my Germanic friends' culture.
    33
  234. Just watched the film. I really enjoyed it. I did notice that Gleason’s character was unusually preoccupied with death and destruction. But he had moments of kindness. Farrell was outstanding and really portrayed a man losing his sense of belonging in the world and succumbing to the banshee’s corrupting influence. This video made me aware of the movie and helped me understand it.
    33
  235. The lack of light makes a lot of sense for this.
    33
  236. As an English person I can assure all critics that his accent is normal and his diction perfect.
    33
  237. It is noteworthy that the samples of Malta MA1 on the graph of the main components are located close to the Udmurts, a little stretched to Mansi. And also the Tocharians were just ANE, or ANE + Paleo-Siberian. So the redhead is probably really from the Paleolithic.
    33
  238. I saw a young Polynesian man who worked for McDonald's , with the most stunning Grey eyes , he looked like a wolf , a rare dude indeed
    33
  239. Fantastic description of this Celtic tribe that few know of today. Your best work yet. Keep up the great work.
    33
  240. True Fact ... The entire Balkans were heavily populated by Celts, Mødern Balkan people carry varying degrees of Celtic DNA, with Serbs having the highest frequency. There is an ancient Celtic fortress smack bang in the middle of Belgrade.
    32
  241. Lots of blue eyed Aussies too mate:yougotthis:
    32
  242. I'm English and very proud of that my surnames is Johnston Scottish did a Ancestry DNA test and it come back I'm 42 % Irish 35 % English 13 % Scottish 6 % Germanic Europe 4 % Sweden and Denmark.. love the videos pal keep em coming great stuff. 👍
    32
  243. Thank you. Very interesting. Love from Sweden ❤🇸🇪🇸🇪
    32
  244. My father had Hazel eyes. His mother had brown eyes and she was of Anglo/Irish background. His father was of German/Danish and English background and had blue eyes. They were both Australian born.
    32
  245. Im from Dublin, i dont have any relatives from Scotland, but my mothers mothers family are the McNeills, from Galway…but it seems the clan have their base in Barra, outer hebridies. My dads cousins are the Duffs, or McDuff in Scotland. I was in the Caingorms years ago Skiing…was a great trip…im dying to go back tae bonnie Scotland again, i love the Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪
    32
  246. The name Sweden originates from the ancient Viking kingdom known as Svear, or Swedes in English, which was centered in Old Uppsala.
    32
  247. The giants had red hair.
    32
  248. I've got light Blue eyes. My Dad had Green eyes, mum had bright blue eyes. I'm 55% Irish, 40% Scots, and 5% English DNA. I have 11 Children. All have Blue eyes. I have 21 grandchildren and counting. 20 have blue eyes, One has Green/Hazel eyes. Your videos are brilliant. Keep them coming. 👍
    32
  249. Dad was 100% Finnish w green eyes. Mom was mixed Brit Isles and sort of Belorussian, (and a tiny bit of Finnish too, surprise!) her eyes were blue green, which could flash green if she was speaking with intensity lol. Mine are just gray. Sensitive to light, more as I grow older. 🙂
    31
  250. I've always heard that Lisbon (Olissipo) was founded by Ulisses. Funny that we have some regions called "Beira" here, but i'm pretty sure it's just coincidence.
    31
  251. Blue eyed people have larger pupils which also lets more light on to the retina.
    31
  252. Portuguese and DNA results: 48.2 Iberian 26.2 Italian 18.9 French/German 4.3 Irish/Scottish/Wales 1.4 Middle Eastern 1 Jew Azquenazi OBRIGADO PORTUGAL 🇵🇹

  253. As a northern italian, thank you
    31
  254. I was born in Ireland. I have 72% scottish, 14% Irish, 11% English and 3% Swedish and danish
    31
  255. My daughter has such gorgeous hazel eyes. She got them from her beautiful birth mother, who is a mix of Peruvian and Danish - that mix of blue with brown eye genes.
    31
  256. A driver’s license clerk wrote ‘blue’ for my eyes, but an eye specialist said they were gray! I hate bright sunlight as well and sunglasses are a must, even when I use my iPhone or iPad sometimes! Thank you Viking forebears! Could have left me in Norway!
    31
  257. I have hazel eyes, the only one in my immediate family. Ancestral migration to Maine was via Canada, Yorkshire and several Viking lines. Several Irish grandmothers in the paternal line also.
    31
  258. I’m a 1st generation Australian.My father was from Glasgow.When I had my DNA tested I was 72% Scottish,12% Irish,9% English and 7% Norwegian.My grandmothers ancestry was from Orkney.I have lots of DNA matches with cousins who I share common ancestors with who are still on Orkney.I hope to visit there someday.
    31
  259. Scottish lass living in Scotland here. Sir Niall Campbell is my 18th great grandfather. He was Robert The Bruce’s wingman. I did the paper trail from my father to his great grand father Donald Campbell of Mull then father of father of father until 1091 finishing with Archibald laird of lochow and wife Eva O’Duibhne. They were all Lairds of Loch Awe Scammadale and Dunstaffnage. I did actually go further back from there taking me to Dunbartonshire castle where the lineage gets pretty jaw dropping albeit a wee bit fantastical. I’ve been assured that even as early as the dark ages the recordings of this particular paternal heritage is quite well documented due to the nobility. Sorry for the extra long comment. Hopefully I haven’t bored anyone as I know these types of claims seem ludicrous. I would feel that way too if I hadn’t had it verified numerous times. Great video btw 🌿

  260. American with Finnish Ancestry on both sides (father and mother) Finns My Y DNA Haplogroup is a branch from the I1-L258 subclade It is exclusive to Finland, and is said to have arrived in there around 1.AD from lower Sweden. My fathers family comes from South Ostrobothnia. My Mtdna from my mothers side is Haplogroup H3 and comes from North Ostrobothnia. Been waiting for this video, you great work! I would love to know more about the Finnish I1 history in the Nordic Bronze Age, before its arrival in Finland. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on this.
    31
  261. 89,2% Scandinavian DNA, 9,9% Finish DNA and 0,9% Inuit DNA, according to MyHeritage. 85% Scandinavian DNA, 14% Finish DNA and 1% Baltikum DNA according to Ancestry. I am born and live in Sweden. I also have Sami ancestry on my fathers side.
    31
  262. The last migration you mentioned (from France in the bronze age) is the likely point where the researchers hypothesized Celtic language was brought to Britain. Itll be fascinating too see what further research shows on that issue.
    30
  263. I have auburn hair, hazel eyes, pale skin. 40% English, 22% Irish, 18% Scottish and 10% Scandenavian.
    30
  264. 100% of Mesolithic Western Hunter-gatherer remains investigated had alleles for pale eye-colour, so non-brown eyes had a very long history in western Europe, predating people associated with the Beaker Complex by thousands of years.
    30
  265. Picts/Scots best fighters in the world
    30
  266. I was in Bergen back in the summer of 2007. Beautiful city and I love the Norwegian people. 🇳🇴
    30
  267. Devon still has some celtic culture. For example Dartmoor has a lot of celtic history and there's celtic crosses in devon and stuff
    30
  268. I thought the film was an allegory of the Civil war. Division, heartbreak and massive acts of self harm. Followed by a queasy truce.
    30
  269. Anyone else’s hazel eyes look greener when you cry or are sick?
    30
  270. I'm an American and my ancestry is primarily English. I carry the I1 M-253 and U4a1b haplogroups.
    29
  271. Great video, (0:44) Beira is also a word in portuguese which means border, its also the name of a region of portugal. (4:22) it took the Romans quite a bit of time to conquer Iberia due to the fact that one man named Viriathus went on a guerrila war against the Roman, after his people were betreayed and massacred by the romans when they tried to surrender. it ressulted in very humiliating defeats for Rome, which in the end, unable to defeat Viriathus, payed two of his bodyguards to kill him in his sleep. Today Viriathus is held as a national hero and important figure of portugal.
    29
  272. I am 76 years, my blond hair is now again the same color it was when I was birth to five years. As I grew I became more "dishwater" (as we say in MN) blond, I wanted blond hair and began changing to a lighter blond at 16. Once I became 70, I used less and less Sun-In; now at 76 I no longer need to change my hair color lighter, it is as blond as it was when I was a toddler.
    29
  273. You got the point. Myheritage says that I am 50% Iberian and 25% Irish, Welsh (which is a proof of my celtic roots), the rest Italian, Greek and North Africa 5%. I come from Serra da Estrela, and I have green brown eyes. I think That I represent the major part of portuguese from center to north of Portugal.
    29
  274. In building my family tree, I discovered that the mother of my paternal grandfather was the product of a marriage between two first cousins. That information continues to blow my mind a little.
    29
  275. King Robert is bound to be turning in his grave now,all his hard work now down the drain,Gob bless King Robert
    29
  276. So Iv been researching my family history , my 7th great grandfather is Robert / Robin Love who fought in this battle with the McGregor clan who’s name was banished , he was a decedent of Rob Roy , Robin settled in Sanquhar and there’s a book about it called memoirs of Sanquhar Kirk , so many of my family are buried there ,thank you for this video 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️
    29
  277. The Scottish heritage here ,in America, is very strong…..I love it. In fact, if it wasn’t for the courage of the Scottish in America, America would have not won the war of independence from the British….
    29
  278. Behind these hazel eyes 👀
    29
  279. The family story passed to me is that I had Norwegian ancestors. I did some family tree research and found out I actually have ancestors from Denmark (surname Nielsen). It was interesting to me to find out where he was born and then do some reading about the history of the region. Appreciate the upload!
    28
  280. I love the Welsh. My father-in-law was an Evans of Welsh extraction. One of the best people I ever met.
    28
  281. As a kid I had platinum blonde hair growing up in Australia. Now as Celtic Viking at 54 years old I still have blonde hair. But with a Red and white beard. I do know I have Scandinavian genes and Northern England genes! As I also Dupretayns Contracture.
    28
  282. Green eyes here! I like to wear lots of green as well :-)
    28
  283. Wow! I learned two things I didn't know before: 1. Blue Eyes and Red Hair are NOT linked genetically ( I know it is complicated). 2. Northern Europe is not the only place where those kinds of people live. Thanks for doing the research.
    28
  284. As an Irish Spanish, Native American, I learned what my ancestors never knew here. We are ONE!...
    28
  285. A red head girl from Russia mentions this on yer YT channel, called Eli From Russia.
    28
  286. Cool video Steven, Thankyou. My family tree and ancestry, dna, is England (including north western France & Belgium) Wales, Scotland and Norway. I’ve already traced my Dads Welsh side back to The House of Mathrafal, and way further back to Afallach, the son of Beli Mawr. My Mother still insists on the story that my Nan passed on, that we are descended from Sir James Douglas of Lanarkshire, which I haven’t found a trace of yet. I love my Ancestry so much, its fascinating. Your Norway info, might be a lead I need to look into…but I’m not sure I’ll find a Viking in any records Lol 😆
    28
  287. I'm writing this comment as I sit in my Winnebago parked on the Hon-Dah RV Resort on the White Mountain Apache Reservation in Arizona. One of these Viking encounters I've come across involved the Norsemen giving the natives milk as a friendly gesture. The natives woke up that night vomiting and suffering from severe diarrhea. Convinced that the Norsemen had poisoned them, the natives later attacked. Having grown up in my Anglo-Saxon version of America, I was quite surprised as a teenager to learn that some people can't drink milk. My brother and I went through it such that my mother swore at one point she was going to buy a cow. I asked one of the Apache waitresses over at the Indian Pine Restaurant whether she could drink it. She said she could tolerate it, but had members of her family for whom it was the intestinal kiss of death. Interesting that lactase-persistent Indo-Europeans developed their traits not too terribly far from where Native Americans originated, and that the first instance of blond hair was found in south-central Siberia--much closer to the area in question. What a genetically diverse region.
    28
  288. I'm German and my haplopgroup is a descendant of the Hallstatt G2a-L497, which had been common there but is now very rare.
    28
  289. I am from lebanon and half of my family have blue eyes. I am brown, mom a form of green, uncles blue, dad brown.
    27
  290. The Mongols, by tradition, say that Dzenghis Khan had green eyes - also by the way that he wasn't totally Mongol but rather Buryat - the people from just north of the Mongolian tribes.
    27
  291. As an American whose family roots date back to the mid-1600s on my father's side and the early 1700s on my mother's, my genetics are largely representative of colonial America. When I got back a 23-and-Me report that showed a tiny admixture of Scandinavian, I had to sit down and think where it came from. Yes, there were Swedes in North America in the 1600s, but I suspect the admixture came as part of one of the last waves of Northwest European immigration: the Irish.
    27
  292. As a punjabi jatt our ancestry is between 33% to 40% stepp DNA
    27
  293. I have I1 paternal haplogroup, which is an indicator of Viking origin. Family tradition is we came to the Elbe River in the 9th century and settled there, most likely as Vikings but as a stop gap against other Vikings invading, for they settled along the river only 25 miles from the sea. As a foot note, the I1 haplogroup were hunter/gatherers and did not mix with the farming groups despite living alongside them for centuries. When I found this out, I wondered if it was because they could not digest the grain farmers ate. So, I cut out grain from my diet and am doing much better!
    27
  294. I’m Irish/Scottish/welsh and German with a small amount of Native American, South Asian, and African DNA on 23andme and I have gray eyes. They usually look dark gray but can also look grey green or gray blue. I also have olive skin and my alleles on some of my skin pigmentation genes cause darker skin and hair pigmentation so i think it’s interesting how I got gene variants for eye color that make my eyes lighter pigmented but also several gene variants and alleles for darker skin and hair. Particularly, my genotype for the SLC45A2 gene (one of the main skin pigmentation genes) on 23andme is CG, the C allele is virtually absent in Europeans and it comes from my small amount of Native American ancestry. I think it’s cool how it’s possible to have both lighter pigmentation genetic variants while also having darker pigmentation variants in the same person.
    27
  295. greetings from ankara. i also lived in bergama. turkey is full of different ethnic groups, and galatians and varangians are the ones suprised me most
    27
  296. My husband and daughter both have red hair and blue eyes, I’m blonde with blue eyes.
    27
  297. Never forget Doggerland. RIP.
    27
  298. I just came back from Scotland. I visited the Culloden Battlefield and I’ve been learning about this. It’s so interesting.
    27
  299. I really liked what I heard in this video. Perhaps the presence of the Celts in Portugal justifies the fact that my mother had blue eyes, very white skin and beautiful black hair, in a village where there were only brown eyes and dark skin. This village is located in the North of Portugal, full of legends and mysteries...Greetings
    27
  300. This presentation was very enlightening but the presenter was flawless, spoke quite fast but very clear with no break and with a lovely Scottish accent.
    26
  301. As a portuguese, I am proud of my Celtic DNA as my second most prominent after Iberian of course. Salutations to my celtic brothers!
    26
  302. I wish Welsh and British history was taught more .
    26
  303. I’m an American with a mixture of ancestry from all over Europe. I knew I had a bit of Swedish ancestry, but the coolest part is being of mitochondrial haplogroup V, which is fairly common amongst the Saami!
    26
  304. That is actually not true about Cheddar Mans skin colouring. The leading genetist on the programme said that the dna extracted was not suficient to determine skin colour and the decision to go for the darkest possible was not actualy backed up by facts, it was more political. Much like the recent book on the 7th century King Offa of Mercia that claims he was a black African, and the recent film and books depicting King George III wife Queen Charlotte also as a black African. Let alone the new Netflix dicumentary of Cleopatra also as a black African which the Egyption Government is actually sueing Netflix over.
    26
  305. Thank you for using BC and AD as it should be. Interesting video too 👍🏼
    26
  306. I'm Portuguese and I have 18% Irish, Welsh, Scottish DNA. My paternal side is from the North of Portugal.
    26
  307. I'm a sweed with blonde hair and Grey eyes. I have 4% Neanderthal DNA. I believe my grey eyes, my father's red hair and green eyes, and my mother's blue eyes are all Neanderthal. I also have scots/irish DNA. I don't know how to find. Y haplogroup. Another test maybe
    26
  308. :elbowcough:My sister & I have green eyes, both parents have blue eyes. Australian (German Dad & Irish/ Polish mum) Thanks for reminding us to appreciate the gift of being green. 🤩
    26
  309. Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are distant cousin.
    25
  310. I am a rufus. For some reason I have a hair color that is partially red partially blond & partially brown. I am naturally fair skinned but don't freckle much. I tan like a blond. I am actually very tolerant of pain & am easily anesthetized. Because I am partially blond I will watch your blond video. I attribute the reddish portion of my hair to Franks & Picts.
    25
  311. I tend to think that the differing theories are not exclusive but rather complimentary. A combination of factors.
    25
  312. I am one of few descended from the Picts and presentations like this are rare and much appreciated. Archaeologists have uncovered foundations of roundhouses atop Kelman Hill in Aberdeenshire. That name has been passed down to me with the ujsual spelling variation. I am proud of my Scottish roots and that the Picts were Scots before the Scots were Scots :)
    25
  313. Nice video. Thomas Jefferson is my cousin. My 7th great grandmother Mary Jefferson Nichols was his aunt. I am an American mutt and have ancestors from most European countries. My Ydna is R1b-L1335 S764 744 which is West Highland Gael. I am also a Stewart and Plantagenet decendant via the Dukes of Douglas-Hamilton Clan thru my Earls of Lumley ancestors whi came go Nova Scotia in the 1730s. I also decend from 12 of 51 Mayflower passengers. My dad mom is a Macdonald and Macloed decendant from the Isle of Skye. That ancestor came to America during the clearances and was a Revolutionary War Patriot. I also have two Scottish ancestors who were Scottish prisoners of war from the battle of Dunbar in 1650 who were sent to Massachusetts bay colony as indentured servants: Phillip McIntyre and Malcolm MacCallum.
    25
  314. Blue eyes and blonde hair here. Although now it's blue eyes and gray hair. North European ancestry.
    25
  315. Uploaded my raw data to Living DNA and got a Viking Index score of 26% mostly Norwegian. Makes sense.
    25
  316. My maternal grandmother’s family of 13 moved from St. Ives, Cornwall to the States in the 1920s. Thanks for covering my Cornish roots.
    25
  317. I too have green/grey eyes but no freckles! Hello from Canada🍁👍 (MacIver/Irvine)
    25
  318. I’m from the McNeil and Mc Googhan who immigrated to North Carolina to what is now Scotland County.
    25
  319. I have green-blue-grey eyes. My eye color is usually "influenced" by the color of the shirt that i'm wearing. Almost all of my ancestors from both of my family are of English descent, with some Scottish and Dutch thrown in the mix. My maternal grandfather's family came down to New Hampshire from Quebec to work in the mills there in the mid-1800s, so there may be some French too.
    25
  320. The Bell Beaker Culture (BBC) is derived from the Corded Ware Culture (CWC), via CWC's most westerly offshoot, the Single Grave Culture (SGC). However, CWC is not derived form Yamnaya, rather Yamnaya and CWC both derive from Sredny Stog II. They were brothers, rather than father and son, so to speak. Sredny Stog II is almost certainly the IE urheimat.
    25
  321. The Norse-Gaels were some really cool and badass cultural synthesis. The Norse and the Gaels were a convergence of cultures and gentetics which themselves by and large had diverged from common cultural and genetic roots. So were the Norse-Gaels in some sense a throwback to earlier Indo-European/Hunter-Gatherer/Anatolian Farmer, etc., stocks? For certain this has happened many times in human history, but the Norse-Gael are one case that stands out to me. For certain there was warfare and enmity between the two, but at some point they began to accept, appreciate, and even admire each other. Rather than one canceling out the other, they in some sense amplified one another. More Gaelic than the Irish, more Vikingr than the Norwegians.
    25
  322. This video explains it pretty perfectly for me as Dutch person: 80,7% Northwestern European (mostly Central East Netherlands) 12.1% Scandinavian 4,7% Broadly Northwestern European 1,9% British & Irish (mostly Glasgow City) 0,5% Ashkenazi Jewish 0,1% Unnasigned
    24
  323. Texan here with R-U106 Fresian ancestry.
    24
  324. You’ve hit on the crux of this film with your analysis of the banshees. It’s a dark character flaw that drives Colm to ostracize Padraic, who loves him so much. It is devastating to Padraic, even as Colm maims himself to prove only he is in charge of the relationship. It’s dark, alright
    24
  325. My great-grandfather came from Scotland to the US in the 1880's and I have six brothers with the surname Turnbull. My father was very proud of being of Scottish descent. My mom's ancestors were Northern Irish Protestant and Welsh. I found a shirt on the internet that says, "Clan Turnbull - wreaking havoc since the Middle Ages." My dad didn't begin any argument, but he'd certainly end one."
    24
  326. Northern European. Angles, Saxons, Normans (vikings) are the majority of us.
    24
  327. should do Iceland and Faroe Islands next
    24
  328. Our family paternal ancestry come from Burgos or Castilla y Leon, although our family grave is in Galicia. Heavy Celtic influence in the region. We play bagpipes, dance and march in Scottish festivals. There are some wonderful videos here on YT showing Celtic kinship with the island peoples to the North of Iberia. Histories tell of fleets of Spanish fishing vessels in Dublin over the centuries. We also believe that our ancestors visited North America as fishermen many hundreds of years before the Vikings or Columbus. After all which fisherman will tell of their best spots ? The history of earning a living from the sea is older than the age of European exploration where any mission featured large numbers of North Iberian peoples especially Basques.
    24
  329. It's the most beautiful eye color by far, and is what drew me to my husband! ❤❤❤
    24
  330. The Vikings reached Sicily relatively early in their heyday, 860. It was their practice to bring back booty which included black and brown haired, brown eyed women. So there’s no mystery as to why Scandinavians aren’t 100% blue eyed with blond hair.
    24
  331. Its interesting how many ruling clans are of French Norman origin and not true Scots
    24
  332. I'm an Australian with a Scottish father, surname Morton, with links to the Douglas clan. I find your programs fascinating and would be interested in one on the Douglas clan. This one on the Bruce clan was fascinating, especially as my neighbour is an Aussie whose family tree has been found to go back to Robert the Bruce! What interesting worlds open up to us. I have stayed in an English bnb that my ancestors were in on census night in 1841. It became a bnb the week before. P.W Australia
    24
  333. Iam from Cuba, my ancestors came from many regions pf Spain🇨🇺 🇪🇸❤️💛
    24
  334. I am Puerto Rican. I did my DNA and found out had Sardinian.😮😮😮😊
    24
  335. I really love your series… Very fascinating! 😊👍🏽 I think you may have already done it… But if not, have you ever thought about doing the DNA ties between Iberian Peninsula and Britain/Ireland/France? As well as our commonalities in regards to the Celtic culture…etc 🙏🏽
    23
  336. I am Russian, my wife is Norwegian from western Norway. We got 3 sons. After taking their dna it seems they all got some Irish and Scottish dna even tho we have no family from those places as far as we know. On the other hand could just be myheritage thing. Not the most reliable test
    23
  337. In Germanic Europe where you see a place name that begins with Wal- or Val-, it derives from a Proto-Germanic word that means foreigner, and the foreigners in question were Celts. Switzerland’s western canton of Valais is an example.
    23
  338. Would love more information on this! My family is genetically Southern Welsh on my mom's side, and my husbands family is largely Northern Welsh on his dad's side, and we are just fascinated by all the history since discovering this.
    23
  339. I had a friend from Sardinia and i am Greek we are very similar
    23
  340. I have Hazel eyes, If i'm wearing green, my eyes look green. If i'm wearing blue, my eyes look blue .
    23
  341. The latest studies show a 90% replacement by the belbeekers during the bronze age
    23
  342. Ever since childhood I was told that my eyes are yellow like a lions eyes… but maybe they are in fact hazel? Looking very closely they are a pale green in the background with golden/amber specks fanning out from the pupil. The iris has a teal coloured ring around it. I never saw anybody else with my eyecolour. My father had pale green/grey eyes, my mother hazel. Interesting story my father told: hush-hush tales of “a spanish soldier and a girl in the family” in 1808 or so.. the wars with Napoleon. I have no evidense, but my fathers mother had dark brown eyes an jet black hair, and more family members with very dark eyes and hair. I am from Denmark where blue eyes are the most common. Thank you for very interesting information😃
    23
  343. I’m an American from the NYC metro area. My DNA is 62% Scandinavian, 28% Irish, and 10% German. I guess I have Viking blood in me.
    23
  344. Super interesting. Did early Celtic (Irish) have black hair and light eyes? I heard that that was common for pure blooded celts. Also my dad's from Greece and he said the Norther Greeks have a lot of blond hair and blue eyes because of the Viking attacks in the past.
    23
  345. I have glowing yellow eyes, maybe the nuclear plant next door is the reason.
    23
  346. I had a discussion a few months ago with a Russian friend of mine about the Udmurt people, and he was saying that in Russia, the stereotype is for red-heads to be Jewish. Yet the Udmorts are anything but Jewish, mostly Orthodox, some other Christian denominations or Muslim. So they are a very notable exception to that Russian stereotype. You see, there was a Russian girl on our tennis team with gorgeous waist-length red hair that I was curious about... but it turns out she has a Muslim father from the Caucasus region, so not Jewish and not Udmort. I was also reading at the time the story "The Desert Lich" by Frank Belknap Long, where one of the characters is a Central Asian (presumably somewhere in central Russia) Muslim man with red hair. So while my friend insists red-heads in Russia are mostly Jewish, I had several examples to hand suggesting otherwise. But, you know, stereotypes... hard to shake them once you get them in your head.
    23
  347. Weird... I have light eyes and am practically sun blind some days. The sun is so painful, I can see fine in low light.
    23
  348. You must remember, in Scandinavia arable land was scarce. For centuries they were fighting amongst them selves over access to land? Thats a form of positive genetics, in that the weaker types are removed, and the stronger more fearsome and robust pass on their genes. The weak are thus weeded out. Add to that, these people passed on land to the strongest most capable son, not the oldest? Hence the best had the land to attract a women, and pass on his better genes. This is how over thousands of years they became bigger, and developed a martial way of life. It became a Warriors society. They are still taller and fairer then us. In 2006 me and my mate were on Holiday in Tenerife. In a complex that was all Scandinavian people. Im 6ft tall, and most the women were my height. Most the men were well over 6ft 3. Some looked about 6ft 8. Most the wee kids i saw had platinum hair. Fine people. Good natured i liked them. The women were very attractive.
    23
  349. I think they'd simply leaned a stiff lesson in Caledonia. If it ain't got towns it ain't going to pay taxes. Britannia was already holding down more Roman military manpower than any other province. The Empire, being generally pragmatic, simply decided invading Hibernia would have required more effort than it was worth ... there's advantages to being the last landmass before you disappear off the edge of the world.
    23
  350. Clan Keith is a great story! A Hessian warrior (or proto-Hessian/Chatti) who found his way to Scotland, fought in the wars against the Danes/Norwegians and killed their general named Camus, in the battle of Barrie. For this, the King of Scots dripped his fingers in the bloody body and drew them down the Hessian's shield - From that day, he was known as the Camus Slayer and given the lands at Keith, whence he and his kin took their name. To this day, they say the stripes on the Keith coat of arms are there to remind us of our brave and mighty ancestor.
    23
  351. I heard a theory that blue eyed people could have more likelihood of passing on their gene to future offspring by selecting for other blue eyed mates. Since blue eyes stem from a recessive gene, both parents sharing that gene should produce a blue eyed progeny.
    23
  352. One of the Egyptian king's mummy has red hair. Ramses maybe?
    23
  353. Love his accent!
    22
  354. something I picked up on was the language. Galician for I love you is apparently Querote, in Welsh it's Caru ti. There are no other similar expression for I love you, when you look at European languages as a whole.. definitely at least a slim linguistic connection there.
    22
  355. The Irish could certainly differentiate between Danes and Norwegians, as they gave the Danes names like Doyle (Black) for the black haired Danes as opposed to the blonde haired Norwegians.
    22
  356. Great vid, sir. Very balanced and informative. I'm also fascinated by the idea that the Vikings may have increased the rate of blue and gray eyes in the ME, which is where I'm from. It is plausible. But I just want to add that Lebanese and Syrians in particular have had the genes for blue eyes long before the Vikings had sailed and traded in the region. (Probably since the early Iron Age, according to recent genetic studies).
    22
  357. Wow! Which part of Scotland are you from my friend? Do you speak Scots Gaelic? I studied Irish Gaelic for a year at UCLA. You have a very strong accent, but as I listen carefully, I'm able to understand about 95% of what you say 😀 Thanks for all your hard work on the channel!
    22
  358. I’m 6ft 3inch tall, have blue eyes, red hair, and I’m originally from the Scottish Highlands. My name is also ‘Willie’. I think I fit every ‘Teuchter’ stereotype… even the squirrels and cows up there are ginger 😂

  359. Thanks for the video! I'm from Antwerp in (now) Flanders, Belgium. Most of my family came from the West of Flanders, apart from a grandmother of Dutch (Holland) origin. I didn't take any genetic test. Most of today's Netherlands consisted of continually and drastically changing river beds up and well into the Roman period. When the Romans conquerred Gaul, they established the Northern border to what today's border between French and Flemish/Duttch languages are spoken. When the Franks came to Gaul they assimilated their language with Celtic leading to Dutch, or with Latin, leading to French. In the 16th cenury half of the population (Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent etc.) fled to Holland due to the religious persecutions done by the Spanish. Not only the protestants, but also free-minded people were persecuted. In (the South of) the Netherlands you'll find both Catholic and Lutheran churches close to each other.

  360. I was born in Scotland and all my mom's family are Scottish and Irish, my biological father was of Spanish and Native American descent with all of his relatives being in the American southwest. I have black hair and hazel eyes my husband has dark brown hair and brown eyes, our son has dark brown hair and hazel eyes and his wife has dark brown hair and brown eyes their son, my grandson has red hair and blue eyes with very fair skin. Needless to say we were all quite surprised when he was born.

  361. I can trace my ancestry back to the Ross Clan 1650 when a battle was lost to Cromwell. My ancestor survived, was captured, and brought to the U.S. as an indentured servant. It would be fun to learn more about Ross Clan origins!

  362. Green eyes here. 100% British heritage confirmed by DNA test. Mostly English but Scots and Welsh ancestry too. Green is also my favorite colour by far. Greetings from sunny Florida.
    22
  363. My take away is that Gleeson’s character had traveled in his lifetime, had musical talent , was exposed to other possibilities in his lifetime and here he was ending up living out his days on a remote uneventful Island. I believe he had lots of regret of how life had turned out for himself and that Farrell’s simple character reflected this back to him. I do appreciate your insight of the significance of the old woman as the banshee that didn’t come to my mind watching the film because I’ve grown up with mention of the banshee being somewhat mythical and not amongst the living. It was a terrific performance by both of them especially Farrell?
    22
  364. Hazel eyes here with Spanish/Native American on my Mother's side. French/ Native on my Dads side. 😊
    22
  365. These comments are so insightful! I am so glad I visited here, it puts so much of this film in context. Thanks everyone
    22
  366. Conan O'Brien said his DNA test came back as 100% Irish despite his ancestors, as far as he knows, arriving in the US in the 1870s. It would be interesting to see how that company defined Irish though.
    22
  367. I have hazel eyes. One of my children has hazel eyes. My father had hazel eyes when I was young but his eyes have changed color. My dad is in his 80's, he's very healthy and physically fit. His eyes have slowly changed color and are now very light translucent grey blue. Our ancestry is predominately British/Scottish.
    22
  368. The Templars were disbanded by the Pope and Bruce was excommunicated by the Pope. The Templars seeking refuge in Scotland would make sense because Bruce had no need to worry about offending the Pope by allowing them to do so.
    22
  369. I absolutely love your accent. Top notch. Very informative and comprehensive content. 💚♥️🇵🇹
    22
  370. I've been immersed in Irish culture and lore for a couple of years now tor a project. Watched this film a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember when a film had such a deep impact on me. Knocked the words right out of me.
    22
  371. I’m Scot’s/Irish on my father’s side and Anglo/ Welsh on my mother’s ,I joined a geology society and looked up my family tree and was amazed at how intertwined our four home nations are, but it blows my mind to think if you go back a 1000 years theoretically you’ve got 1 billion ancestors, when the population of Europe was only 56 million ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    22
  372. 3:11 One thing that we (Portugal) got for sure from the Celtics is the level of appreciation we can still have for a few good drinks when there's a party XD ... for a good reason Lusus (the supposed son or companion of Baco) was "THE" God that gave name to Lusitânia/Lusitani XD
    22
  373. Hazel eyes here. Mom had the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen, dad's were practically black. I have what I call mood eyes. More green or brown depending on the day and what color top I'm wearing.
    21
  374. Hello brother redhead. My family comes from Ireland and Scandinavia. I appreciate the work that you put into this! It’s very interesting to find out about where we come from throughout history. Thank you.
    21
  375. One of my siblings has brown eyes, the other has blue eyes, one parent had brown, the other had blue.....I always thought mine were just a messy mix of everything, now I realise Hazel isn't so bad.
    21
  376. In northern part of Anatolia , as south part of Black sea , in modern Turkey , many people has blue eyes and blond hair, another proof of your theory
    21
  377. Thank you for these amazingly detailed videos!!
    21
  378. Hello from New Zealand, Bruce Robert Stuart here, I’m going to subscribe to your channel as I’ve just stumbled on it. My ancestry goes back 100s of years. France, Scotland, Northumberland, Canada & finally settling in New Zealand.
    21
  379. My great grand parents are from Glasgow. They emigrated to the USA in the 1930s. They brought with them my grand aunt and grand uncle. Also went back a year later for my 2nd great grandfather. My grand father was born a few years after their arrival to the USA. Now they are all resting in multnomah Oregon where they are burried. My DNA test came back with 54% Scottish for myself. Quite happy with that. Clan HAY.

  380. There are many Celtic graves in Serbia to this day. Hill of Tara in Ireland, Tara mountain in Serbia, obvious cogjnates english | proto-celtic | serbian (*curly) hair | *gourjo- | kovrdzava/grgurava (curly) kosa (hair) (be) quiet | *tauso- | tiho (quiet), tišina (silence) (night)mare | *moro- | mora (sea-)harbour | *kaφno- | kopno (coast e.g. when looked from see) (who/what)soever | *kʷinnako- (??) | ionako *heap (?) | *tus-tV- (Gall., B), *teus-t- (W, B) | tušta (abundance of something.. e.g. on heap) story | kastu | kazati (to tell) less obvious cognjates *battle-leader |*ioudo-walo- | ioudo -> ljudi = people, thus leader of people not of battle (hind)quarter (?) | *kʷetr-anī(-) (?) | obviously derived from number 4 - četiri, četvrt (quarter) And many more this is something I was able to find by doing quick google search…
    21
  381. I have brown hair with natural red highlights and blue grey eyes I have two Red haired Blue Eyed Grand babies and My Husband is Strawberry and Blue eyed We both have Scottish Irish English and Welsh ancestors.
    21
  382. That would make far more sense to my dna! My highest deep dive match to an ancient sample is that of a Scythian warrior dating to 1813 BC. My dad is 52% Scottish, 12% Irish and 5% Welsh the rest being North Western Europe. I'm 48% Welsh, 12% Scottish and 11% Irish, the rest again as North Western Europe 😁
    21
  383. Maine Coon cats - thought to be unique to Maine in NA - are now considered to be descended Norwegian/Scottish wild cats taken over on boats with the vikings
    21
  384. Overwhelming Iberian with Scottish,Irish, French, German, Berber and Welsh dna.
    21
  385. I dye my hair lighter red but have naturally auburn colouring hair with light blue eyes. Im from England but ancestry from southern Scotland with some from Scandinavia too. My mam was blonde & blue eyed. Great video ✨thanks for sharing.
    21
  386. I loved the film and enjoyed the video that highlights McDonagh’s use of the Banshee. I also had noted the name of the island as The Island of Ireland. A masterful film, saturated with the the strange twisted light of, perhaps, the dimension of the banshee and the haunting attraction and fear of death. Spoiler: What Colm would use to play music, he destroys—like the saying, “he’d cut off his nose to spite his face.”
    21
  387. A FinnishSwedish Viking here from Ostrobothnia Finland-Vörå Maternal Haplogroup-H1 Paternal Haplogroup- I-L258 23andMe estimates: 81.8% Finnish Genetic groups: -West-Central Coast of Finland 14.5% Scandinavian Genetic groups: -Arctic Norway -Eastern Norrland -Easter Svealand and southern Norrland -Western Svealand I have more Neanderthal DNA than 79% of other 23andMe customers. less then 2% of my DNA is Neanderthal. Enough that both my knees need operation 👍
    21
  388. The other powerful "she" in the story is the sister...She is sensitive and sensible enough to leave the island (hell), and she is friends with the old lady/death. When the latter waves her to approach from the other side of the lake, she doesn't go. She is wise and compassionate.
    21
  389. I always thought that some people from the Iberian-Peninsula specifically to those from Northern-Spain look sometimes like they have some Scottish or ancient celtic ancestry. I know that Portugal has it, but Northern-Spain genetics still prevail in that area until today.
    21
  390. I am a Robertson and love visiting Scotland. I am familiar with my ancestral lands and have been there a few times. I plan to come in May to visit the borderlands. My guide is a Campbell .
    21
  391. 1:00 Wales is also mountainous. So they're sheltered from any genetic influence. The Welsh are descendants of British Beaker folk and 10% Stone age survivors. They're genetically detached from any population. Including Celts and Romans. Conquest doesn't mean genetic influx of course.
    21
  392. i think, aside from the details and the wrangling about terms like saxon and celt (i mean to be fair we havent had a celtic or saxon culture in britain for a millenium), that the natives of the British Isles are more alike than unalike. And that to me, as someone with Irish, Scots, English and Welsh in me, and a proud unionist, is encouraging
    21
  393. Im 95% Gael origin. Born on Tyneside. Im a Celt and i approve of this wonderful video. ☘️👍
    21
  394. One characteristic of beanshees is wailing. This is thought to have arisen from foxes howling at night
    21
  395. My father was blonde pale blue eyes, and pale skinned. I did my DNA test and I have swedish and Danish, Scottish. Right on 🎉
    21
  396. I visited Forres 5 years ago and saw personally the, Pictish “ Suenos Stones” they were impressive and encased in glass boxes and were about 12 foot tall!
    21
  397. My mother-in-law who was 100% Swedish had blonde hair, blue eyes and was 5'10" in height. My paternal male line has origins in Norway and was over 6 foot tall with blue eyes and blonde hair. I am originally from Indiana, USA.
    21
  398. I read the other day that there were thousands Celts in Egypt in the 3rd century BC living there as mercenaries. Apparently they were involved in a military coup against one of the Ptolemy kings and got surrounded on an island in the Nile. They all committed ritual suicide rather than be taken alive.
    21
  399. One explanation for the grey blue & green eyes in the Middle East I heard just the other day on a podcast was that Vikings would capture women from Northern Europe to be traded in the Middle East to be used in harems etc. not sure how accurate that is but it’s one theory I’ve heard
    21
  400. I am mostly Scottish, but my father's paternal grandfather was from north Wales (Cymru). I feel strong affinity for both sides. My Powell-Jones became Presbyterian and mixed with other Presbyterians, who were a mix of Highlanders like Sutherland, Cameron, MacDonald, and Lowlanders: Snodgrass, Montgomery, McRea. I love learning about my roots.
    20
  401. Interesting-- Sardinia looks beautiful to visit!!
    20
  402. I'm leaning towards the light theory.
    20
  403. Swede here, who has a lot of family from around Finnerödja (which literally means Finn-cleared land) in central Sweden, named so from the forest Finns you mentioned briefly, who were brought in by the king (of Sweden and Finland at the time) from economically depressed eastern Finland (maybe Russia today?), to turn unproductive forestland into more productive agricultural land, thus broadening the tax base, etc. I believe the immigrants who settled in Sweden were provided with some startup capital and tax exemption for a few years. Sweden's best strawberries come from the area, but maybe I am biased.
    20
  404. I descended from the lairds of Clan Campbell. My father also found our connection to the MacGregors, Stewart , and he found we directly descended from Robert the Bruce.
    20
  405. Thanks fascinating video. I moved to East Yorkshire from Brazil when I was a kid, and the East Yorkshire people always looked like Vikings to me and I just assumed I was living amongst the descendants of the the Danelaw settlers. Turns out I was wrong! Although Anglo-Saxon and Norse were themselves cousins, so easy mistake for a South American to make!
    20
  406. so italians and celts are related. no wonder the celts picked up latin so easily
    20
  407. the zed rod - a scythe maybe? The grain being attached. Fertility? The four points - Four cardinal directions, the sun in the seasons in transit? That they used such complicated symbolism says a lot about the depth of their belief system (to me!)
    20
  408. Red hair and light eyes are common among the Tatar people of Russia.
    20
  409. Quite a fascinating film around the psychology of the human condition. The paradox of beauty and the beast. And how nature is ever beautifully present in spite of the morass of the mind, with all its belief systems, and superstitions. On a small island, the collective human consciousness is illustrated so well
    20
  410. Thanks for a very interesting video which shows that our roots are deep here in England. In fact, right back to the end of the ice age.
    20
  411. Conquered and held by the same single legion that was wiped out in Scotland? Those Italians wouldn't have lasted in Ireland, it'd be too damp and cold for them even in the summer.
    20
  412. Thanks, very informative. As a Dutchman I had to watch this of course 🙂. From a Mormon herritage database I traced a herritage line back to Charlemagne (39 generations back) as well as Alfred the Great (35 generations back). So I should at least have some Frankish and Saxon blood I guess. But considering if you go back 38 generations you would potentially have 270 billion ancestors, which is obviously impossible, since there were only a few million people in all of Europe then, so I sometimes half jokingly say that every European probably has a line back to Charlemgne somehow.
    20
  413. I traced my lineage back as far as my parents, who were livid. Otherwise, I could watch these videos all day. Excellent work yet again, sir.
    20
  414. Auburn hair here, with hazel eyes. Mostly Scottish and Irish ancestry (though Welsh and English on my dad's side). Interestingly enough my dad had black hair and blue eyes (a rare combination) and Mom's hair was black and she had hazel eyes. So obviously both my parents were carriers of the relevant recessive genes. Thank you for this video! Love from Minnesota.
    20
  415. My whole life I've been taught to hate the white man as a hispanic however when I did my DNA testing I found a decent amount of Irish and Scottish DNA. Along with the very large 27% Spanish and 8%Portuguese and 59% native Mexican. Now that I find out all of this history from Spain and all the things that happened there with the ancestors of the Irish and Celtics in general it all makes sense its so amazing the world must've been so crazy back then. I would KILL to hear them speak.
    20
  416.  @celtichistorydecoded  very interesting different places same people love from Wales to Brittany 😍

  417. Excellent short summary. A minute or two of information on local customs and identity would have rounded it off. Looking forward to one of these for every region mentioned. Don’t forget to include Galicia as a Celtic tribe. Cheers.
    19
  418. Hi I am Spanish with grey hazel eyes. My grandma (Spanish also) had light grey eyes ( some people said blue, but in fact they were grey). One of my cousins has light grey eyes also... In my family there are all eyes colours: brown, hazel,green, greys and blues. We are all Spanish. My DNA is 80 percent North Spain and Southern France + 20 percent NorthWest European ( Denmark, Dutchland and England) Best regards! ! UN Abrazo! ! Saludos!
    19
  419. It says so in the Declaration of Arbroath 1311.
    19
  420. Thank you for explaining the folklore in the movies. I watched it yesterday an have been deeply impacted. I thought Colm knew (of intuitively felt) he was nearing his death. The sense of despair that the priest asks him about could be linked to that. Colm knew how deeply Paedric is connected to him, how he almost could not survive without their friendship. And Colm decides to break up the friendship before death takes him away, so that it’s less painful for Paedric. Colm probably knows he is running out of time, and instead of cutting his fingers one by one, he does what he does. He deeply cares for Paedric, which is obviously when Colm himself is so upset when the donkey accidentally gets killed - an unintended consequence of Colm’s action. He is happy to see that Paedric becomes stronger and more independent through anger - the scene at the pub when he warns about setting Colm’s house on fire. Colm knows Paedric is ready to keep on living when he himself passes on. Colm doesn’t try to put out the fire as he no longer needs his earthly home. The last scene, when Mrs McCormack (banshee) sits in Colm’s chair near his burned house waiting for him - it’s his time to go and he knows he can do it now.
    19
  421. Cheers. I`m R1b-M269

  422. Western Switzerland was part of the burgundy region of France,the Burgundian’s became the Spanish and Portuguese royals and their people settled these regions after the crusades and in the Middle Ages,the Burgundian’s were originally from Sweden but moved down after the break up of the Roman Empire.
    19
  423. Cool that my 1/4 Filipina granddaughter has that combination. Stunning with her Asian shaped eyes.
    19
  424. Proto-Celtic culture should be differentiated from Celtic language. Celtic language is a branch of the Indo-European language tree. The spread of Celtic language aligns quite well with the spread of Y haplogroup R-M269.
    19
  425. This is interesting. I'm of Scandinavian heritage. From my paternal family we are 100% blue eyes. I had never given it any thought.
    19
  426. I have 2% Swedish ancestry which doesn't mean a lot genetically. But one of my grans maiden name was Gemmell which does have Scandinavian origins.
    19
  427. Dark Hazel here. French, Scottish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Bohemian, and Finish.
    19
  428. Please do a video about Asturias which is the other ancient Celtic nation in NW Spain. It is well known and documented that Asturias (named for the Celtic tribe - The Astures) is and has always been Celtic both culturally and genetically. My mother and her entire line were Asturian and my DNA (both Ancestry and 23 and me) links me to both modern Ireland and Scotland genetically
    19
  429. I lived in Honolulu for 5 years. There was a girl who worked in a neighboring office building and often I would see her walking to lunch. Her golden blonde hair was like a beacon in the sunlight and it attracted nearly everyone’s gaze. I thought the attention was a natural advantage in finding a mate.
    19
  430. I understand the Romans had a unit of Sammatian (related to Scythians) heavy cavalry on Hadrian's Wall. This is related to myths of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.
    19
  431. I have hazel eyes! Lots Scottish/english, mine look almost like there is a dark blue circle around the greenish with specks leading into the more brownish starburst center
    19
  432. Red hair makes women irresistible.
    19
  433. I have green dominant hazel eyes❤ I love them😊
    19
  434. I am a native Spaniard and was strange for me to find in my DNA 2% Scandinavian, 2,2% Finnish and 1,6% Baltic. I know we got some Visigoths here but the traces left are not significant.
    19
  435. Great video. Can you do one on Cornish genetics please?
    19
  436. I'm Ron Morrison 76yo Of Clan Morrison, My Fathers father was from Harris, my Dad spoke Gaelic, my mother was a Barton from Glasgow I live in Canada !
    19
  437. Not Vikings. Norsemen. Vikings are raiders not settlers and traders.
    19
  438. I’m Danish but 13,9% Scottish/Irish thanks to the vikings 👍
    19
  439. I have about 10% DNA from Sardinia, and my grandmother's family was Basque as well - we are from the Dominican Republic.
    19
  440. Watching the film again, I noticed in Colm's house a number of items (possibly folklore/myth related) from other countries, including a Japanese mask of an "Oni baba". Based on the Japanese folklore of the demon woman who causes death and misery to befall a specific person or family, essentially like a banshee.
    18
  441. You might have mentioned more about Randolph's stand against the English cavalry on the first day which set the scene for the next day. Also the bickering within the English camp over who should lead the charge which led to Gloucester taking the hump and riding straight to his death . The importance of the foot soldiers taking the fight forward against cavalry and infantry had never been heard of, and it was the carnage of the large English force being bottlenecked trying to re-cross the Bannickburn in panic that killed more English than the Scots.
    18
  442. We are 4 generations of hazel eyes as i know of but our family has been from norway for hundreds of years. This is interesting😊
    18
  443. Thanks very much, I watch but often forget to say thanks.❤ I have a great grandmother whose family were part of the Huguenots, Jacques.
    18
  444. Few points I'd like to make here, not as a criticism; 1. The origin and nature of the BB culture is now generally regarded to have emerged from central Europe, being indo-european. 2. The replacement of the Neolithic farmer population of the UK is an anomaly in Europe, as most of the similar peoples in Europe merged with the Indo-Europeans. BB DNA is actually lower in native French and German people for example. 3. The BB genetic results are probably biased in that elite burials tended to survive and be found more than commoners. Meaning the replacement rates were less than 90%. What we can say with certainty is that the high-status people were overwhelmingly BB. 4. There is growing evidence that the neolithic peoples of Europe suffered a series of disasters in the form of plagues, which may have caused rapid depopulation.
    18
  445. I am Y-Haplogroup I2a1b1(I-M223), our earliest forefathers have been found in Palaeolithic Italy(Tagliente,Veneto and Continenza,Trasacco). By the Mesolithic, we were spread throughout Europe and the British Isles. My mt-Haplogroup is H24a which seems to have arrived in western Europe during the Neolithic.
    18
  446. Good video. There is a strong connection between the Picts and the Welsh as evidenced by similar place names and from what we can glean from the poem, 'Y Gododdin' by the Welsh bard Aneurin.
    18
  447. genetic studies are always of much interest to me, the Scythians as well as the Cimmerian peoples migration are also interesting, the earlier migration of the Cimmerians seems to have some of them going into the area of the Hungarian plains and possibly coming into contact with the Hallstatt/proto-Celt cultures, others of them migrating into Anatolia and the southern parts of the Black Sea area.
    18
  448. I have hazel -green eyes - my mother hazel-brown and my daughter hazel -brown. My dads were brown along with my brothers. We have very mixed ancestry on both sides. Dads being English,Sri Lankan,German;Japanese; mums being French, Mid European, English, with other little bits from all over . My haplo group is a North African Berber tribe from 10,000 years ago… my eyes change to bright green when I cry or am angry - they have an olive green ring around the outside, a flared amber ring around the pupil and flecks of yellow and green between the two but with an overall look of green…. Lol 😂 Emma; UK

  449. My Great Grandmother was a Cash - from the MacTavish clan 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , a Highlander. ♥️💚♥️ Hello Y'all from Alabama, USA 😊
    18
  450. They may be gone but yesterday here in Brisbane Australia I attended the inauguration of the Celtic standing stones in Auchenflower, it was organised and finally implemented after many years of persistence by the Celtic council of Australia ( Scots, Cornish , Manx, Irish, Bretons, Welsh and Galations) with many Aussie Scots who’s forefathers were from the clearances and have pride in and never forget there Scottish/ Clan heritage 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗡️
    18
  451. I have no Irish dna whatsoever, nor in my family tree. My Welsh ancestors were from north east Powys, around Meifod, Mochnant & Mechain, which were cantrefs around the Vyrnwy. What surprised me the most was that it was not the English, nor any other foreign invader that killed our royal house of Mathrafal, but that of Owain Gwynedd, another Welshman. Roedd o’n gas. I curse him! I believe my Welsh ancestors were there from the year dot…you can go back and back and they’re still Welsh!
    18
  452. Lactose tolerance the real reason for the dispersal of the Yamnaya culture and proliferation and dispersal of the Proto Indo European languages?
    18
  453. An evil spell cast over Ireland causing the men to go to war among themselves “The whole place has gone nuts.”
    18
  454. Who ? Škordići ? That Serbian family Is still there. Great clan, been in War with Rome , lost in Macedonia , moved north in today's Bačka region. I've read about them in a book "Analae ", writen by Franciscan monk at early 1700's.
    18
  455. A really overlooked topic, and a great history, essentially swept under the carpet. The people of England are just as 'british' as any welshperson, and even today the Welsh still refer to England as Lloegr, the ancient name for the areas east of the severn, and south of the humber. The people were the Lloegrwys or Lloegrians, and were of the same ancient stock as the Cymry. When you consider that before 1700ad there was no celtic or even saxon consiousness in britain, you have to wonder what happened to our original histories, that celebrated victories over the Romans for example. Now the Romans are placed on a pedestal, everything dug up of any importance is immediately labelled Roman. NEVER British.....really strange....especially when a so called 'Roman' villa lies unexcavated in south Wales. This place is known to have been built for a British king 'in the roman style' and is dateable to around 200ad. Which is awkward, as we are supposed to be uncivilised 'celts', stomped over for 400yrs. Fishbourne roman palace gets funding and a visitor centre, Caermead gets turfed over. Skullduggery is rife in academia it seems🤔
    18
  456. Lots of Celtic influence in Asturias and Cantabria as well. They even play the pipes.
    18
  457. I got 60% Northern Irish/Southwest Scottish and I was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Quite hilarious how I have more Irish and Scottish, guess the lads and lasses came doon for a bit of wee fun 🤣
    18
  458. The migrations of the Boii all over Italy to Germany to Gaul show that nothing is clean cut and tidy, instead very mixed and interrelated. After all Bohemia, Bavaria and Italian city of Bolognia are all named after the Boii.
    18
  459. My ancestors are from Veryan in Cornwall. They are buried in the church yard, the name is Trounce, the family tree goes back to 1575, and even records a marriage into the Carter family (Carter family of King of Prussia). Thank you for your interesting channel. I have subscribed and liked. Let me know if there are any more Trounces out there!
    18
  460. The Battle of Teutoburg Forest is one of my favorite events in history. The Germanic tribes, including and especially the Vikings, were often very clever.
    18
  461. Thanks for all this research. You are doing an incredible job. It just proves that it is early days for DNA studies and as soon as we stick a label on any 'culture' we discover there's far more admixture than our tidy minds would like to make of it. I'm sure I've see that Yamnaya guy sitting in the Clutha Bar down the Broomielaw of a Friday night 😁
    18
  462. I’m almost 1/2 Swedish. Have red hair and Hazel eyes that turn green and gold sometimes.

  463. My Cuban grandmother's father's father's last name was Kelly. They were from Lugo in Galicia. My dna shows 12% Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Plus a lot of Basque and Portuguese. Mostly all Northern Spain . 1% southern Spanish
    18
  464. Some ancient bodies discovered in Ireland were DNA-traced to the Pontic-Caspian Steppe. This (sort of) made sense, as I have occasinally observed people from Ukraine, etc. who look vaguely Irish. The individuals in question had slightly darker skin and black hair. (I am slightly disturbed at the possibility that in 3,000 years' time, archeologists could dig me up and ask: "What's this?")
    18
  465. I think the lack of research on hazel eyes is simply because they are defined by what they are not (blue, grey, green, brown) rather than what they are. They also have a greater ability to look different in different levels of light due to iris size; so they are just more difficult to nail down. To be honest I think the difference between amber and hazel is just semantic rather than melanin relative.
    18
  466. I was taking a zoom lecture for archaeology in University College Dublin when the lecturer claimed that the Celts never existed. That was the day i discovered Celtoscepticism, or as i like to call it, Celto-denialism. His argument was that they never referred to themselves as Celts, and that they were never united. I argued that if those were the reasons to denie their existence, then you have to deny the existence of other language families and culture groups like Bantu, Polynesian, Micronesia, Melanesian, Mayans, Turkmen, and many others if you have to apply that logic to the Celts. Instead of coming up with a good argument, he just went on about how culture and ethnicity has caused some of the worlds greatest atrocities (i would argue religion has done just as much). Seems like he's putting an agenda before facts and logic.

  467. Blonde hair and green eyes, Irish man saying hello.
    18
  468. Very fascinating and brilliantly presented! Congrats on getting a sponsor too. 🙂
    18
  469. My grand mother , mom , and my older brother all had red hair and light blue eyes . When they were very young had freckles too .
    18
  470. The Portuguese today still call themselves Lusos. Also Portuguese genetics comes from Galicia. The genetics flowed south in all Of iberia. My last name traces back to the 200ad and maybe further to christian saint in Spain and to a saint in Portugal. Proud of my celtic Iberian roots. We gave hell to the romans. Took them almost 200 years to concur and subdue the peninsula 🤘 Força iberico. Thanks for the great video
    18
  471. You actually answered questions I was wondering about. I was wondering about the origin of blond hair, what Scandinavian Hunter gatherers looked like & the origin of the nordic race.
    18
  472. I would LOVE to see the Finnish DNA episode sometime in the Future. TY
    17
  473. Maybe when the Romans met the Gaels from Argyll, the ancestors of the gallowglass, they decided they'd rather keep their troops busy building walls across Britain instead of trying their luck against a larger contingent of Gaels in Ireland.
    17
  474. Thanks for the video. The Gaels of Dal Riata are my paternal ancestors. The strange thing is my surname is Perkins a Norman name but after a Big Ydna test I found out my paternal ancestors are really Scots Irish Barnetts but even further back related to Maclaren which was one of the earliest clan surnames. My Ydna is R1b-L1335 S764 744. After speaking to the L1335 dna site administrator explaining my strange situation he told me the my male ancestors are West Highland Gaels part of the Scotti tribe that originated in Hibernia and founders of Dal Riada. Crazy to think about who they were and where all of ancestors come from...
    17
  475. I'm a MacLeod of Lewis (the yellow tartan). My family first came from the Reef area, moving to Barvas in 1886. The croft is still in our family, with my first cousin once removed still living and working sheep there, 130+ years later.
    17
  476. Very fascinating! Superb as always.
    17
  477. So, I have Iberian ancestry. Does that make me part Celt? ( I mean I also have Irish, Scots, and Welsh, but also Iberian)
    17
  478. It's a culture more than a single people.
    17
  479. This explains how the Anatolian agriculturalists, Iron Age & Scandinavian DNA got into my Dutch ancestors !!!! Haplogroup H10e. So very interesting!!! Thanks a million!!
    17
  480. Ginger hair is way older than any Celtic Germanic or viking labels
    17
  481. My brother has pure pale grey eyes. Very striking! But dark brown hair. I guess that's the Irish/Norwegian side. Very interesting, thank you.
    17
  482. Excellent as always! I'm enjoying this DNA series immensely.
    17
  483. Proud to Be of Celtic/Norse ancestry
    17
  484. Because most of Scandinavia is Mountainous, hilly, and Barren. Decent farming land was in short supply. Hence why the Viking sailed the world It was to look for suitable land to farm at first.
    17
  485. As a redhead always find this interesting. Fun fact before World War 1, the Tsar had a unit that only had redheads, not sure how many would have been natural, but I'm sure a few Udmurts would have been in there.
    17
  486. Caesar's wars in Gaul also had ruinous effects on Rome and Italy in general. The huge rise in the slave population destroyed the labour market, as the labour of Freemen could not compete with the cheapness of slave labour. Especially as Gaul had been made up of sophisticated societies with many skilled labourers. Then the enormous amount of gold and silver loot dumped on the Roman economy devalued the price of these metals and with it the currency in general. Your classic money supply induced inflation. Then the huge number of demobilised soldiers, who had all been promised good land in Italy as reward, created a demand that the land market could not meet. Caesar essentially created the economic crisis that his dictatorship promised to resolve.
    17
  487. I actually have blonde hair with a red-beard. I am Northern English (York) on my mothers side and Scottish and part Norwegian on my fathers side. Growing up in Australia I had platinum blonde hair and I grew up thinking I would have a brown beard like my father.
    17
  488. Im from the isle of lewis my surname is Macdonald, and I can still speak gaelic, my dna test came back as 85% celtic, 11% norse and the rest was middle Eastern (no idea how that got in there) its fascinating stuff, btw the word gallowglass is a corruption of the old gaelic which when translated just meant young foreigners
    17
  489. My dad is English, my mam is Welsh so I am Anglo-Saxon and Briton. Maybe Norse or Iberian too.
    17
  490. Great video, thank you! Can you please do a video on the Celts of the Alps in Noricum? Likely the term Galatians is derived from Proto-Celtic *galnati (“to be able”). See also Κελτός (Keltós) and Latin Gallus, which might be from the same source. Even the name Portugal contains the same root (gal for Gaul i.e. harbour of the Gauls of port of the Celts). Even the name Britain is likely of Celtic origin. As Brittānia from the 1st century B.C.E., from Ancient Greek Πρεττανία (Prettanía), used by Diodorus, earlier νῆσος (nêsos) Πρεττανική (Prettanikḗ) or Βρεττανίαι (Brettaníai), used by Pytheas (4th century B.C.E.) of the entire archipelago now known as the British Isles. The Ancient Greek name is ultimately from a Celtic ethnonym, reconstructed as early Brythonic *Pritani, perhaps from a Proto-Celtic *Kʷritanī, *Kʷritenī, whence Welsh Prydyn (“Picts”), Old Irish Cruthne, Cru(i)then-túath (“Picts”), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do”).
    17
  491. This was great. Cant wait to watch the Finnish DNA video. I hope you get to that one soon.
    17
  492. Another good one Wayne.I think the Irish and Scotland were well linked in the day.
    17
  493. I'm Auburn, mh mother was blonde and a girl in mh family is strawberry blonde with blue eyes. I've got green eyes and curly hair. I've got Swiss, Dane, Spanish, French, Irish, Scottish, English, and Gernanic. Melting pot. Both I and the girl in my family have negative blood. Excellent, Thankyou ✌️
    17
  494. I have heterochromia, so they are green and blue with gold specks in them
    17
  495. Spanish are Celtic too
    17
  496. Your explanations dissecting this movie helped tremendously in understanding the storyline; it now makes sense to me. The script is actually very simple, but the amazing acting by the whole cast and location pulled me into their world. Barry Keoghan, (Dominic), is astounding; his performance is worthy of an award for best supporting actor.
    17
  497. I was blond but my hair started getting darker as i went through puberty.
    17
  498. This man's accent is amazing.
    17
  499. I would suspect that the destruction of the ninth legion was what caused Hadrians campaign and the building of the wall. Roman emperors didn’t visit Britain unless there was a crisis. The sixth legion built part of the wall so they would have arrived with Hadrian as a replacement for the ninth.
    17
  500. we never call it the British Isles in Ireland just an fyi.
    17
  501. I can believe that there was a prehistoric connection between Celts and Scythians originating at a very ancient era when the Indo-European tribes were spreading eastward and westward across the Eurasian Continent - we're talking tens of thousands of years ago. But the Scots were Gaels originating in northeast Ireland, who gradually spread into northwest Scotland and the Hebrides over 2 thousand years ago - And the Picts were Britons, whose culture was spread throughout Britain for possibly ten thousand years before the formation of Scotland.
    17
  502. That was excellent,thanks,,also they gave us milk tolerance,the wheel,domestication of horse,and sheet metal teck which they made trumpets and couldrens with
    17
  503. The Iron bru gene, lol
    17
  504. I walked out of the theater reading the definition of “banshee” as I knew it had to mean something but yes, why plural? And glad the director gave Siobhan strength and agency.
    17
  505. It's said that, Picts are one of the most fierce tribes in history
    16
  506. Culturally speaking, there "seems" something more Russian about the 'Skotts' than say, English. Also, Σκοτια/Scotland means dark in Greek; hence Scotland's patronymic as 'the Dark Island'. The Romans, (it is said,) had a Scythian/Sarmatian garrison stationed along the wall, keeping the Picts out.
    16
  507. I am an American of German ancestry on both sides of my family. I was born with very golden blonde hair and blue eyes and retained my blonde hair all my life until I was in my late fifties. It's still blonde but is now a darker shade.
    16
  508. I have hazel eyes, green with brown. My ancestors are from England, Ireland, Wales and Italy. Generations are Texans. My parents had brown eyes. Now I know what ‘hazel’ means.
    16
  509. amazing history man, really filled in the gaps in my own history and picked up some really interesting facts.
    16
  510. I know that the traditional reason given for Breton 'Celticness' is the Saxon advance westward through, what is now, England, but I think it is no coincidence that Brittany is the furthest peninsular from the Frankish advance through northern Gaul; however I'm still with Groundskeeper Willie's opinion on our Gallic cousins.
    16
  511. I have hazel eyes and reddish-brown hair. 💚
    16
  512. I'm Portuguese from the Azores. Me and my family have done DNA tests and we all show considerable percentages of Irish, Scottish and Welsh heritage (around 25%), which I guess it means Celtic ancestry.
    16
  513. Please consider a short video focused on the difference between mainland Portugal and the Azores as a supplement to this fine work. I would also be curious to hear what you had to say about the impact of the so-called Moorish invasion of the Iberian peninsula and its genetic origins.
    16
  514. Interesting. My DNA results came back that I am 100% Welsh! My father was from the Rhonda and my mother from Bargoed (both South Wales).
    16
  515. Please make videos about the genetic history of Finland, Estonia and the Baltic countries
    16
  516. I believe that the redheaded Yamnaya (3,300-2,600 BC) from north of the Black Sea became the Sythians.. Thank you for your work.
    16
  517. You're always balanced according to the data, and present it well.
    16
  518. Hi! I have Hazel eyes with the Hazel burst and mossy green surrounding. My Mother has extremely dark brown eyes and my Dad has vivid blue like the color of the Mediterranean Sea. I am a blend of Scottish/ Spanish and Native American. Thank you for this informative video!
    16
  519. I’m a blue eyed, fair skinned Australian… Descended from Scotland and England and to a lesser extent Denmark and Norway. I struggle with glare and bright light, so this vid makes sense… My eyes and skin have never looked so alive as they did in a frozen Berlin… Definitely something in that.
    16
  520. agreed great feckin insight!
    16
  521. Maybe dark haired Celts from Britain and Ireland can explain a lot of the black haired Vikings in Viking aged Denmark?
    16
  522. The genetic evidence is clear. All Celts are descendants of the Scythians. But so is most of Europe. The genetic unity of Europeans is hidden by the amazing diversity of languages and cultures that have branched out from the source, in a mere 3000 years.
    16
  523. So Celtic tribes would have came into the British Isles and mixed with the native population that was a mix of Bell beaker folk who mixed with the farmer folk who had mixed with the earlier Western hunter gathiers? The later Celtic arrivals would have the same genetic mix but in different proportions. I have the Celtic version of R1b.
    16
  524. The ancient Anglo-Saxon kings claimed descent from Woden. The Vikings years later still believed in Odin. Cousins fighting cousins.
    16
  525. I have a red haired friend that married a blond blue eyed woman. They have two son one red haired brown eyed and the other is red haired blue eyed. We are Asturians (North West Spain)
    15
  526. I read a report yesterday saying it's now regarded that grey/gray eyes are the rarest, and green is second rarest.
    15
  527. My true ancestry connected me to Danish vikings at something like 5%
    15
  528. Great video as always my friend. I uncovered some genetic research for this confirming that groups of scythians from the middle bronze age were carriers of the r1b haplotype ( common to ireland, north britain, wales and west Scotland ) - its mad that a migration that long ago can be retained in the oral tradition for that long.
    15
  529. My Ancestors were the Gallowglass fae Dal Riata on ma Da’s side who settled in Donegal after fighting the Normans in Ireland having been deposed from their land after fighting on the losing side of the first Wars of Independence in Scotland.and French Scots on ma Maw’s side as her family were brought into Scotland via England to sort out Taxation. We are all the sons and daughters of immigrants ultimately as this chunk of land was under a huge sheet of ice thousands of years ago and uninhabited by humans as a result.
    15
  530. Brilliant analysis of the Welsh. The Welsh generally were darker skinned,dark hair and dark eyes. Have more rounded faces and shorter in height than their fellow british kin. South Wales had a lot of mix from the English over the last century or so so generally lighter skinned and lighter hair, although physical traits of their welsh ancestors is still quite strong. I have noticed having visited all over Wales many many times.
    15
  531. The traditional theory is that the Celtic peoples entered Britain and Ireland between 600-450 BC and conquered/assimilated an unrelated bronze age people at a rapid pace. Problem is, archeologists have been looking for centuries for this great ''coming of the Celts'' and have found no significant evidence of a major invasion(s) or cultural shift. Caesar wrote that the southern Kingdoms of Britain claimed kinship with the Gauls, but that the more northern Britons had 'always been there'. Unless you count the origin stories of the traditional British histories of the Britons coming from Troy, there is a strange lack of 'invasion' myths which should have been remembered if the Celts in Britain had only been there 500+ years before the Romans blundered in. There is also the issue of Celtic-like or Para-Celtic languages in Spain long before the supposed Celtic westward spread. Lusitanian and possibly Tartessian languages for example. There is the Greek historical account of King Arganthonios of Tartessos in southern Spain, in/around 600BC whose name is highly Celtic is structure, meaning perhaps 'one of Silver/wealth'. Again, what is a Celtic Kingdom doing that far west that early? The Hallstatt culture origin theory of the Celts needs a revision.
    15
  532. Blue eyes and blond hair are quite common in Western Europe.
    15
  533. So glad you posted this. I'm a Campbell in Texas. My 6x great grandfather was Farquhard Campbell. I can trace back to when he came to the colonies in or around 1752, but I can't find anyone in Scotland who is from his family. The CCSNA told me there were too many Campbells to know for sure. They did find a reference to him from someone in Jura, but that's as far as I got. I know he came over with Alexander McAllister to North Carolina and later married Alexander's sister, Isabella. Apparently she passed away and his second wife, Elizabeth Whitfield Smith was my grandmother and the line my family comes from.
    15
  534. I’m loving this series!!!
    15
  535. I'm a night owl. I think that it's a case of somebody having to stay up and keep watch. My whole family as far back as anyone remembers have been night owls. My grey eyes are very sensitive to light. I can see well in very low light situations. Moonlight is enough to function without any disability.
    15
  536. My Mom's sister had gray eyes and they run in our Stumpf/Kreiger line from Bavaria.
    15
  537. Dark Green eyes, medium brown hair. Mostly Scottish and Welsh heritage.
    15
  538. Bakersfield, California and surrounding areas has a large Basque population. Great Basque restaurants, too.
    15
  539. Scottish Declaration Of Arbroath 1320 AD - “Most Holy Father, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown. It journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage peoples, but nowhere could it be subdued by any people, however barbarous. Thence it came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to its home in the west where it still lives today.”
    15
  540. Unrelated, but what happened to the Celts in Iberia?
    15
  541. I thought that the masks handing from the ceiling in Colm's home were significant somehow. Padrick puts one over his face at one point. The masks seem out of place yet they don't seem entirely random.
    15
  542. As always, thank you for the lesson. My mother said she was blonde until her late teens. Then her hair turned light brown. Her hair remained brown well into her 80's. Then went to silver. I was born with light brown hair. I am 74 and for the most part my hair is still light brown. My sister and three brother's had dark brown hair like my father. Their hair turned solid gray by the time they were forty five. I am always accused of dyeing my hair but I put it down to good genes and living life in the fast lane. My mother had blue eyes. My father had green eyes. My sister, my brothers and me all have green eyes. The love of my life has brown hair and green eyes.
    15
  543. I'm Ross, Hunter, Smith, Taylor, walker, Moore, Little, Kerr, and Cochran.
    15
  544. My Ancestors came from here, my many many times great grandfather is Beli Mawr of Siluria, his ancestry line can be traced back to Prydain ap Aedd Mawr, who was King of Cornwall. I believe the Silures were Rome’s biggest headache! 😆✊
    15
  545. There is a lot of history on two small islands in this world. Thanks for the information. It's always amazing to find out about ones ancestors.
    15
  546. My daughter has hazel eyes. My dad had hazel eyes. He was full blood Spaniard. His mom had sky blue eyes. Grandpa had brown. I have brown eyes. My wife Italian has blue eyes. Our 2 sons ended up with brown. One son dark brown other son a lighter shade of brown
    15
  547. A lot of good information in such a small amount of time - great work mate.
    15
  548. Your videos are very interesting! I also like it that you let us know where you got your information from so that everyone can search things out for themselves. Good job!
    15
  549. I’m Sardinian by both sides since generations. Thanks Sir
    15
  550. The Robertson clan contingent, led by Donald Robertson of Woodsheal, suffered along with the rest of the Atholl Brigade. About half of its men were left on the field of battle. Donald was wounded and left for dead. His younger brothers, Alexander and Charles, both died. Alexander was killed while attempting to cut his way through to his wounded older brother while Charles died later from his wounds.
    15
  551. I am American from Galician descent , i have blue eyes and so did my Galician grandmother and cousins….
    15
  552. Great info ! My DNA was very interesting when I took the tests.
    15
  553. Denmark; the intersection of Scandinavia, Europe, Britain, and Ireland. A Dane in Seattle.
    15
  554. Anglo-Saxons were a ruling elite in Britain, never the ethnic majority. They were wiped out centuries ago during many Celtic British peasant uprisings and foreign empires. Today the British are entirely Celtic. They’re just culturally Anglicised (except the Welsh - they honour their roots).
    15
  555. Galicia has strong links with Ireland. Some of our ancestors came directly from there.
    15
  556. I am descended from several clans. Wallace, Douglas, Bell, Campbell and Ross just to name a few. My mothers maiden name is Wallis but some of her family spells it Wallace. Her grandmother was a Bell.
    15
  557. My three nephews and one niece have such interesting coloring: two are blue-eyed blondes, one has brown eyes and auburn hair, and one has Titian (red/gold) hair and bright green eyes. What an interesting mixture for one family.
    15
  558. Many of the infamous names of the old American West are border names of English and Scots origin.
    15
  559. Interesting video. I have a somewhat different perspective on the comment of 'two deaths' by old lady. Maybe she is talking about the death of the relationship first between Padraic and Colm and second between Padraic and his sister. And that's why old lady was seen in the frame at the time of Padraic waving hand at his sister's departure and also when Padraic and Colm part ways (as mentioned in this video).
    15
  560. Breton is also close to Welsh, My brother in law was amazed that driving through Wales to visit relatives he could read the road signs in Welsh. My brother in law told me that when he was at school, if he or anyone else got heard speaking Breton they were caned for it.
    15
  561. First of all: Love the Scottish accent! Was a pleasure to listen to you. I am interested in doing a DNA test. I am dutch, living in the Netherlands and is there a test you can recommend? For some reason I don' t want to send my DNA to the US or another country outside of the EU. But so far I haven't found any. And maybe I am just way to paranoid.
    15
  562. My father’s side is Açorean Portuguese from São Jorge. I can trace my last name to two catholic saints one a martyr from catalonia spain ans died in 259 ad by a roman emperor and saint from Braga.
    15
  563. My birth certificate says hazel but I have more green than brown. People always comment "I love your green eyes."
    15
  564. What about the film as analogy for The Troubles? How two close friends fighting in a way that only hurts themselves; and from which they gain nothing?
    15
  565. I'm descended from Clan Duncan, my Great Grand Father William Duncan came from Edinburgh Scotland in the 1700s to the US .
    15
  566. Walter Steward(t) was my 17th Great Grandfather - James IV was my 13th Great Grandfather & from there am descended from his daughter Janet Stewart (Malcolm Fleming, spouse). Great video!
    15
  567. In the traditional histories of the Welsh, the Picts were never regarded as Britons were seen as newcomers from the east who came by sea, and where granted the right to settle in Caithness. They could not claim the rights of the ancient British until the 9th generation after their coming. For a supposedly 'Celtic' people they were very peculiar. Use of heavy tattooing, unique symbolic pictograms, construction of Brochs and Matriarchal decent. There is also the interesting issue of about a dozen inscriptions in the Ogham text on standing stones in Scotland that have no apparent obvious Brythonic or Irish translation. Bede states clearly that the Pictish language was distinct from British (Brythonic) and St Columba needed a translator to converse with them. That said, place name as well as personal name evidence is overwhelmingly Brythonic is substance.
    15
  568. Mine are blue/green/gray mood rings that change depending on the light and what I'm wearing. One eye is more blue, and one eye is more green. Irish descent with auburn hair.
    15
  569. The name the silures called that area was essyllwg- e- sull- oog, the romans picked up the sulloo bit becoming silures. This is the region of the real king arthur, crowned by st dyfrig at caerleon. The 'ampitheatre' became arthurs round table in the 6th century, essentially a great area for gathering the nobles of britain in times of crisis, mainly countering the saxon threat. The actual ancient fortress of caerleon, is about a mile to the north, covered by great trees now, and unbelievably partially encroached on by a housing estate. An extremely important 4-5 banked hillfort, which like all things 'british' get totally ignored in favour of the invader. Its a travesty that our history has been thrown in the bin.
    15
  570. I've heard the Atholl Highlanders included 200 MacDougalls. The chief didn't join in the uprising but his brother did & fought at Culloden.
    14
  571. And 1 more thing, The Celtic "DRUIDS" = HINDU "PUROHIT ". (PRIEST ) I am a member of Purohit brahman by my ancestors, I am proud for it, we Indians are very grateful for preserve our true historical culture.
    14
  572. Northeastern Englishman man here. It’s fascinating to understand genetics but it’s the living who matter
    14
  573. in the village where my parents grow up about 100km in the east of ankara i can remember that i was wondering about seeing this blonde haired girl with blue eyes between dark haired people , blonde hairs are realy unusual there^^ both parents are dark haired . im dark haired too but i got a few red hairs in my beard =)
    14
  574. I feel like Mrs. McCormack is the obvious choice for one of the banshees, but I think Siobhán is meant to be the second. Mrs. McCormack beckons to Siobhán from across the lake at one point in the film, like she’s calling her to start her time as a banshee. But Siobhán chooses to go to the mainland instead, like she’s breaking a chain of misery.
    14
  575. This video backed up my DNA results, I'm mainly Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Scandinavian. There are a few percentages from England, Italy and the middle east. Great video
    14
  576. My uncle did genealogy for a hobby and found an ancestor that came over to England from Denmark, no surprise really.
    14
  577. Clan Macpherson also has a big Y700 research project. Clan Macphail/Macfall has also started and may have some initial results.
    14
  578. I have hazel eyes. Other than 13% of my DNA origins (per Ancestry DNA) being from central France, the rest is all England (34%), Scotland (24%), Ireland (18%), and Scandinavia (11%). I've traced my family tree back through the 1400's so I'm pretty confident that these percentages are on target.
    14
  579. There are also red hair with green eyes.
    14
  580. I have green eyes. My parents both have green eyes as well.
    14
  581. One of my grandmother's family were from East Anglia, mostly mariners and farmers. The grandmother on the other side is from Wiltshire. Genealogy is really interesting but I've only gone back as far as the late 1700s. Then it gets a bit of a minefield. What is nice to see is that some places where they all lived still exist!

  582. The Ainu people of Hokkaido have been linked to the Cherokee, Sioux, and Blackfoot peoples interestingly.

  583. As a Dutch person with a Spanish dad I considered myself half Dutch half Spanish. After a DNA test I found out that my Dutch is really a mix of Frisian Danish Norwegian Swedish and a whole lot of English 😂..the Spanish side came out as 50% Iberian. Something that surprised me most really because my dad had some foreign ancestors we know. So it would mean that my dad was a 100% Iberian? Something I think not to be plausible.

  584. I understand most British Isles DNA today is Bell Beaker.
    14
  585. I'd be interested in clan Mackintosh or Norman Surnames of Inverness and the Highlands. Until then, great stuff as always, cheers. Shout out to my u1506 Posse ✌
    14
  586. Even nowadays if you search about it you see English is the highest ancestry group. Then it comes German and Irish. English people have a very interesting history in The United States

  587. I’ve only just found your channel, and I have to say it’s absolutely brilliant. The Irish migration to Scotland is quite well known but I’d love a video on the Scots that migrated to Ireland, such as the McGregors. Any information on Scottish origin surnames in Ireland would be great.

  588. As a clinical geneticist in Finland (I study very rare inherited diseases), our DNA is pretty unique compared to other Europeans. Even most of the software I use always have different categories for Finns and non-Finnish Europeans, when checking for population frequencies for mutations. We also have a bunch of weird genetic disorders that are somewhat common here but unheard of anywhere else due to past bottleneck effects and inbreeding. Salla disease and Northern Epilepsy Syndrome are examples of these.

  589. My great grandfather came to Canada from Scotland. Thank you for the lessons. Scots have to be the most impressive people ever with their bravery, strength and determination. Proud of my grandfather's heritage.

  590. At the battle of Glen Fruin around 350 to 400 of Clan Gregor's men defeated 800 of Colquhoun's men who were funded by King James VI to teach the MacGregor's a lesson. Although the MacGregor force were outnumbered at least two to one the battle ended up a rout for the MacGregor's, the Colquhoun dead numbered 150 to 200, there were only a handful of MacGregor deaths, one of them was John MacGregor the brother of the clan chief Allaster MacGregor of Glenstrae. 500 of Clan Colquhoun's men were on horseback and the remaining 300 were on foot, all of Clan Gregor's men were on foot. The MacGregor men split into two forces, the main force led by Allaster and the second force was led by John MacGregor, as the two MacGregor forces closed in on the approaching Colquhoun's who were going up the centre of the glen. The mounted Colquhoun's were forced into the boggy ground at the head of the glen and the weight of horse and rider caused therm to sink into the bog, the rout had begun for the MacGregor's. After the battle the wives of the dead Colquhoun's dipped their husband's shirts in sheeps blood, the took them to Edinburgh and showed them to the king who couldn't stand the sight of blood, he believed what the women told him and he then proscribed Clan Gregor, they became nameless, landless and stateless and were forced to become outlaws to survive. In 1604 the chief, Allaster MacGregor and eleven opf his chieftains were hung at Edinburgh's market cross.

  591. Absolutely fascinating: what a beautiful people! Happy New Year to you, good Sir! 🎉

  592. My Surname originates in Western Isles of Scotland. As I've stated dispite being born in England im 92% Gael Origin. Both my parents were Irish/Scots Origin. I wont reveal my surname, but i did have a great Granny from Ireland called Margaret McIver. Another Irish born great granny had the surname Stopher, which is unusual? Another who was born in wales, of Irish parents in 1843 was called Ellen Early. Im told its a farely rare name from County Clare. She went on to have 21children in Hartlepool, then Newcastle. Yes your correct theres huge interests in the Vikings. My Son is an Odinist, and raising his 7 kids as Odinists. My Daughter is also into Norse mythology etc, as are her children. She also has a huge affinity for her Scottish heritage, and visits castles there regularly. Another great video.👍
    14
  593. I'm Portuguese and called Castro myself. Have always been fascinated by the Celtic origins of the now Portuguese and of our Galician brothers. You can still find many ruins of Celtic towns in Northern Portugal, the Castros or Citânias, the equivalent of the Hill Forts in the British Isles. The Celtic mythology, like the Lusitanian God Endovelicus and their contact with Nature, very much shaped what Northern Portugal is still today. Thank you so much for your researches and brilliant video.
    14
  594. Celtic Ortodox!
    14
  595. Surely the reasoning behind the loss of oral tradition isn't so much the lack of writing and the invisibility of Ogham to historians but the massacre and persecution of the speakers. Lots of tribes have oral traditions that survive to this day without writing they just managed to avoid the onslaught of Rome and then Christianity.
    14
  596. I'm Hispanic, but I believe German and Japanese people are the smartest and most disciplined people in the world.
    14
  597. I am from Veneto (a region in North East Italy) and the Venetic people were in ancient times a particular culture that had several contacts with peoples like Raeti, Etruscans and, obviously, the Celtic tribes (after fifth century BC): the first time with the Cenomani and then with the Insubri. Surprisingly, the Venetic people were one the fundamental allies of Rome during the war against Carthage and the Celtic Tribes; indeed, the absorption by Roman Republic was relatively peaceful.

  598. Can you do one on the Irish of County Cork sometime please mate:face-green-smiling:
    14
  599. Grey-green eyes here, and dark ash blond hair. But my ancestors were from the regions of Bohemia and Bavaria. Your Scottish accent is very pleasant to hear and easy to understand :) Alba... Caledonia... my favourite country in the whole world!

  600. Alan Wilson and Baram Blacket's work in the 1980s is the most convincing to me in tracking down who King Arthur was. Medieval Historians were clear that Arthur was based in South Wales in Caer Leon. The king list of Glamorgan names an Athrwys ap (son of) Meurig. They also attribute the legendary attributes of Arthur invading Europe and waging war with with the Romans as an accidental confusion with the actions of Arthur's grandfather's grandfather Anwn (Antonius the Black), a son of Magnus Maximus, a British high King who conquered most of the western empire.

  601. I’m a north east Englishman. When I had colour in my hair I was “mousy “ with a dark/ red beard. My sister was born with strawberry blond hair. My son was blond till he was 40.
    14
  602. I’m Irish but 1/4 Norwegian too
    14
  603. From the UK with Balkan heritage, if I wear green my eyes look green, in bright sunlight my eyes look more amber/brown my eyes are green around the edges
    14
  604. it’s interesting because culturally speaking, the Picts did vastly differ from Britons, P Gaelic and Q Gaelic (Irish and Scots), certainly in artwork, but many sources seem to indicate that despite these differences in language and culture (a massive one being the decent of kings in Pictish culture being matriarchal, and not through only one line), they (for the most part) got a long well with the Scots, and the best researched and reasoned explanation for the end of the celts would have been the culture death, when Scottish nobles (and regular Scots) merged when they moved to the Pictish heartlands, to escape the increasing Viking raids in the west. At this point, I believe, the scots carried Christianity over too. I can’t source this well so read this as any other you tube comment, simply as I cannot recall endless sources articles and documents I’ve accumulated my knowledge with, however a very very good read on this subject (with a good bibliography) is a book simply called ‘Picts’ (or the Picts?). Cheers for the video, although my biggest question is where your accents from, I’m fully Scottish but for some reason I cant figure it out. It is quite soft, suggesting a northern accent, Aberdeenshire region, but something tells me it is more lowlands…. Any clues?
    14
  605. I’m a full British Isles medley, and my eyes are solid grey that can vary to green or blue depending on lighting/clothing. The whole sensitivity to light thing explains a lot
    14
  606. Thanks for enhancing my hometown in Bretagne, Saint-Malo. Cheers, Celtic friend!
    14
  607. I’m Welsh but I lived in gorgie for a while, I found out that it’s name comes from old Brittonic. The name is thought to be Brythonic in origin. Early forms suggest it derives from gor gyn – upper wedge – which may refer to the tapering shape of the land between the Water of Leith and the Craiglockhart hills.

  608. I'm half italian by my dad , mom is Irish, welsh , scottish. I have red hair and love it.

  609. Some Swedes have ancient Finnic ancestry.
    13
  610. I live in Northern Ireland, and my husband is from here. I would say that the majority here have blue or grey eyes.
    13
  611. i know you've done a video on Cornwall, its quite frustrating that Cornwall and the Cornish are frequently omitted from videos like this.. along with the Welsh the Cornish are native Britons.
    13
  612. I don't agree with your theory. If that was the case Eskimos, people form Siberia, native people of Canada, Australia and New Zealand would all develop blue eyes because of shorter days. Also in Northern Europe there is a lot of snow which reflect a lot of light so it isn't lack of light. My theory is caves that people lived in during ice age in Europe.
    13
  613. I am Dutch and I did a DNA test with also haplogroups. My paternal haplogroup is actually more common in Southern Italy, North-Africa and West-Asia, even though we live in the Netherlands for at least 400 years or something (as far I can find the family tree and I have found no Spanish or Italian ancestors so I don't know where my sisters Italian DNA comes from). I do have a German in 1830 in the family and Flanders. I am Southern Dutch (Brabant). My sister did have 2.9% Italian in her DNA, but I didn't have that and neither my dad or the grandmother on my moms side. I am now 100% Dutch but before that I was 81,8% North-Western European, 16,8% English and 1,4% Irish, Scottish and Welsh. I have paternal haplogroep G (Which male mummie Yuya in Egypt also had) mine specifically is unique as it only occurs 1 in 13000 at 23andme and its: G-Z37368. The Maternal haplogroup is: J2a1a which is supposedly a more common one in Western Europe including Denmark. The G haplogroup has no R in its journey.

  614. Id say the romans did reach ireland. But they met the Fianna at "The Battle of Ventry". Its a great story look it up, and the timelines line up perfectly. It was very unusual for a country at that time to have a standing army but ireland did as they were in a period of unification and so were just about able to repel them.
    13
  615. blonde and red hair are more common in northern Europe because in hotter climates with more UV radiation black hair protects the scalp from getting skin cancer, hence why Mediterranean's have black hair, but in cloudy places like the British isles or northern Russia red hair is more common
    13
  616. Summary: Blue eyes came with Western Hunter Gatherers. Blond hair with Eastern Hunter Gatherers. The fusion is called Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers.
    13
  617. I've heard that the haplogroup R1D2 tends to result in a rather stunted appearance with three legs and a high pitched voice😊
    13
  618. Gray eyes (and red hair), and my eyes are what might be considered slate-colored. Very photo sensitive, and see very well in low lighting, especially at night, driving (until some idiot approaches with high beam headlights on!).
    13
  619. I just found out on my true ancestry that the majority of my DNA is Gallo-Roman, Scordisci and Illyrian. And I was like..who? Thanks for this video this really helped.
    13
  620. I have blue eyes born with blonde hair slowly turned black and brown
    13
  621. Excellent
    13
  622. Light eyes are common in nocturnal animals also, even in africa.
    13
  623. Fascinating! Merry Christmas good Sir!
    13
  624. The Astures with the Cantabrians were the last people to be conquered by the Romans that needed ten years and seven legions. Many Astures served in the Román Army in Germany, Dacia, north África and Britania. The I and the II Wing of Asturians and the II Cohors Equitata of Asturians served in the Hadrian Wall. The Asturians also defeated the Muslim invaders in the Battle of Covadonga (722) and started the Reconquista of the Iberian península. If to be red haired is a Celtic characteristic, some Asturians are of Celtic origins. Half of my close friends when I was a child were and still are red haired, I knew red haired people at school, at work, at sport...

  625. West Scythians > East Scythians 😎Always rooting for my R1b brothers.

  626. Great video as usual.
    13
  627. Still love Rosemary Sutcliff`s Eagle of the Ninth. Cheers mate.
    13
  628. I'm an American, so I thought I would be alot of things, but I came back almost entirely Scandinavian! Those Vikings got around.
    13
  629. I see the king as a warrior monk. His own succession almost led to a civil a war, so his choices leading to a successor might have been informed by that.
    13
  630. Mine are hazel, I usually get people saying they are green or brown, but depending on lighting I get people saying they are blue on occasion, and sometimes they turn grey in photos.
    13
  631. I’m an American. I traced my family back to 1730 and it was 100% English. But I had my DNA analyzed and it came back 100% Irish.
    13
  632. When the Bell Beaker peoples first moved to Britain, the great pyramids of Egypt were already a few Centuries old. The economic impact of the early civilizations may have very well been a factor in causing the Bell beakers moving to Britain, for example control of the Tin trade may have been a factor.
    13
  633. Nice presentation and nice accent😊. I like both of them.
    13
  634. Oh shit this is where my moms side came from! Explains why me and other Celtics get along so well!!
    13
  635. Great Video mate. My surname is classed as old Germanic/English and is very pre-dominant in the East Anglia region. Earliest spelling being Vulnoth or Wulfnoth meaning Wolf Daring or Wolf Brave. But also proud that I was raised in the old kingdom of the Iceni who led a major uprising under Boudicca that came very close to kicking the Romans out of Britain.
    13
  636. Can you do one on MacDonald of Clanranald?
    13
  637. Found your channel today and subscribed! My great granny on my maternal grandfather's side was a Campbell and my maternal grandmother's side is Clan Duncan. I've been researching my family tree for over a decade and I have an uncommon MtDNA haplogroup. The things I've found about my ancestry continue to blow my mind!
    13
  638. My wife’s family’s name was named Little, which is one of the Scottish border plans that was Centered around mykkledale I don’t think they have a clan chief anymore. That seems to make a big difference in the modern year now when people track their clans, but there seems to be an organization fairly vigorous in the US and Canada brings all the Littles together. I guess it’s kind of big 😂
    13
  639. Mine are medium blueish gray with this weird yellow halo / flare around the pupil like the person at 5:13. Mostly Irish Scottish background
    13
  640. Did a DNA test and realized I’m largely Scottish. Makes sense because my family is from South and North Carolina.
    13
  641. I'm rb1 too what a informative excellent video can you do a video about Gaelic hostages naill DNA I think that it would inlighting people who have decent from o naill Irish and Scottish my salutations to you cheers
    13
  642. I did a DNA test recently and found out that Portuguese is one of the top results, with small percentages of Scottish and Welsh too. Im proud of our Celtic ancestry and heritage
    13
  643. My father Portuguese has hazel eyes, my daughter Portuguese/mixed and mother is Mostly Native American Mexican and my daughter has hazel eyes. I have blue eyes
    13
  644. The Roman's were British as portrayed in the Life of Brian.😊👍🇬🇧
    13
  645. Always glad to see a new presentation on the Beaker folk.
    13
  646. Such an interesting video! I'm fascinated by this stuff. My eyes are green but they're dark compared to most green eyes I see, more grey toward the outside. I never meet anybody who has an eye color like mine outside of my family, but we've got lots of Irish relatives.
    13
  647. I know in East Anglia there's a lot of Dutch and Flemish surnames, And I've seen surnames from Brittany France in some of the English. I personally use that September 21st 2022 Anglo-Saxon migration study as my ground basis
    13
  648. The Romans were so mesmerized by the incredible Scottish scenery, that they simply didn't have the heart to invade.
    13
  649. Very interesting video. My mother was Irish and had some distant Kurdish ancestry.
    13
  650. We need a Yamnaya culture playlist please!
    13
  651. M269 is a very old subclad of R1b. It originated during the late Neolithic period in the Pointic Stepps. Other subclads have been derived from M269. Such as U106 - progenitors of Germanic culture and language, L21 the Bell Beaker Folk and U152 - Urnfield or Hallstatt Folk - the progenitors of Celtic culture and language.
    13
  652. Further to my DNA testing I am a direct descendent of Birger Jarl of Sweden who lived from 1210 until 1266 making him my 32nd great grandfather . I am I1M253a2b and we all have a common ancestor who lived about 5000 years ago in Southern Sweden ,though some researchers give the lower River Elbe basin as its origin .Time to the most recent common ancestor is about 2600 years .
    13
  653. Green as they get.
    13
  654. I love these DNA presentations even when I don’t share any of their genetic background!! So interesting to see human migration patterns. Always on the move!!!! Thanks so much!
    13
  655. I'm from Colombia and my DNA test showed 80% Spanish, 15% Italian, 4% South American native 1% Neanderthal
    13
  656. Thankyou so much Steven. I’ve already watched it over a few times already. I hope to visit one day. Fun fact: Coel Hen is apparently the man in the song “Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he!”
    13
  657. Intriuging, but I think we're missing something. Rome had occupied the province of Britannia for around 400 years by the time they pulled out. If it weren't for the soft culture reset done by the Anglo-Saxons, I think we could expect to see a lot more roman influence in the Britonnic culture. Perhaps they could have even spoken a romance language? I mean, the romanization of the britons had already gone through, hadn't it?
    13
  658. Oh my god, my ears feel like they've been dragged down a dirty pub laiden, spittle covered, london alley.
    13
  659. Thanks for the interesting video. I’m from the Sámi from my mom’s side. So I’m a mixture of Finnish, Sámi, about 2% Swedish and 12% Norwegian.
    13
  660. By far the rarest eye color, glad I have them.
    13
  661. A small correction on the pronunciation of “dyfed”, you said it like (da-ved) when it’s a (duh-ved). The ‘a’ sound makes it sound more like the Welsh for David (Dafydd). Gwynedd was spot on though.
    13
  662. I'm half Irish decent. That's where my grey eyes come from! Both my parents had hazel.
    13
  663. Yes. Family farm in Yorkshire for 200 years. But I don't think that I look anything like a typical Yorkshire person: I have black hair and green eyes and light skin that burns in winter, like Severus Snape from Harry Potter.
    13
  664. Texan. Ancestry British and Danish. R1b
    13
  665. Hi, Steven. Thank you very much for your short analysis on Scottish DNA. I do a lot of family history, and I have a 23% DNA match for Scotland, and a 19% DNA match for Ireland (mostly near Donegal). I have worked on family history for 53 years, and the advent of computer, internet, and DNA has confirmed my research and clarified it. - David Menke, Tucson, Arizona, USA.
    13
  666. im 97.6% Celt and 2.4% Finnish
    12
  667. There's nothing more enjoyable then having a beer while watching about the yamnayas after work
    12
  668. My moms side of the family is from Karelia and my dads side is from Wales. Weve owned Huskies for most of my life and ive always had a special connection with them. I honestly never knew about the possible Siberian connections between Finns and the Uralic/Siberian peoples. Perhaps my ancestors long ago once owned Huskies in their native land and thats why im so gravitated towards them. But maybe im just schizo who knows aha! Great video man!
    12
  669. I am a Hindu brahmin. I have 13% Irish ancestry
    12
  670. I'm half English and half Scottish. Scottish (Isle of Skye) mum, English dad (Isle of Sheppy). I grew up moving between England and Scotland, so my accent is weird 😂
    12
  671. My 12th great grandfather (A Welshman whose name has been passed down through the generations to me) was one of the ship captains that brought people to Jamestown in 1607. He also captained The Virginia, the first ship built in the new world. This information is interesting and well presented. Thank you!
    12
  672. Have you taken a dna test? Curious to know what that says
    12
  673. I think that the reflection of sunlight on snow and the seafood diet rich in vitamin D play a major role in the fact that the Inuit are darker than Europeans in addition to the East Asian origins of the Inuit
    12
  674. I think Bede (or his source) was just indulging in a bit of Early Medieval folk etymology (the same kind that had the Britons descending from Brutus).
    12
  675. I like your accent. Hi from a German in Germany 👋
    12
  676. Great to be part of the Indo-European line (either culturally, linguistically or genetically). Amazing vid as always 👏👏
    12
  677. I am first redhead with blue eyes in my family of blonds blue eyes on both mother and father sides our family has been in northern Germany for atleast 500 years that we know of. But the men of my father and mothers side had all blond hair but red beards. And I am the first and only born with red hair on head. All 3 of my sisters blond blue eyes like ther rest of my family all the men and women.
    12
  678. I was a redhead, but now that I"m older I've turned into a platinum blonde.
    12
  679. Wow! Just last weekend I checked my 23 & Me profile, and was shocked to discover that my paternal haplogroup has been reclassified as R-M167. The haplogroup has its origins in the Pyrenees Mountains of the Spanish-French border. It is most prevalent among Catalonian and Aragonese men, according to Wikipedia. Here's the perplexing part. My father's male lineage can be traced back to 1315 in Staffordshire, England; and 23 & Me classifies me as 94% British and 5% other Northern European.
    12
  680. I'm Portuguese and these are my DNA results: •44% Iberian (Portugal and Brazil- Minas Gerais) •13.1% Italian •13% Irish, Scottish and Welsh •12.1% Sardinian •16.5% North African •1.3% Nigerian
    12
  681. Imagine if people found a pyramid in Scotland!
    12
  682. I have blue eyes, and I prefer shopping in certain stores compared to others just because of the harsh lighting.
    12
  683. I have green eyes and red hair
    12
  684. Scouser here , mainly Irish dna with some Scottish Welsh English and Norwegian thrown in
    12
  685. My half Italian / half Spanish wife actually looks Scandinavian. Most likely a lot a Goths and Lombards in her ancestry. I know her mother's Spanish side was descended from Spanish Noble Families, and her father of 100% Northern Italian ancestry has very light skin and blue eyes.
    12
  686. The Berbers certainly have a high ratio of blue and grey eyes, noticeable with a lot of Berber footballers playing in the Netherlands and France. That goes back centuries due to their movements and trading.
    12
  687. My YouTube handle is my first name and "Son of William", Williams being the family line that connects me to the Mackenzie and Stewart clan, as well as Grant and Cathcart clans through marriages. My ancestors went from Scotland to N. Ireland, then fled the uprising and went to Boston and Nova Scotia. My lowland ancestors wound up in Virginia and Maryland. Highland clearances, a taste for adventure and a promise of freedom and owning your own land again brought my family to America, and I'm proud to be a Scottish American. 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    12
  688. I have a photo (1880's) of my ancestor Mary McLeod, born in Sydney Australia. She had dark hair and blue eyes, No Red hair. Her mother was born in Shetland Island and father from Edinburgh.
    12
  689. I believe I'm fourth generation Scottish. My grandfather used to tell me. You're the son of the son of a horse thief and that's why we live here now.
    12
  690. I love the way you speak. Never change!
    12
  691. I have green eyes with a light brown ring around the pupil. Scottish ancestery and my father was Croation. My eyes are extremely light sensitive as I have very little melanin in the back of my eye. Very fair skin, light brown hair and light freckles. From the USA.
    12
  692. He's Scottish though
    12
  693. Thank you very cool, My moms fathers side is Cajun French which came from the Vendee region more then likely. Western central France
    12
  694. I love the content, support from Morocco
    12
  695. Poor celts of France.
    12
  696. I would like to know the genetics of France in regards to how much of the Gauls are still present and where geographically they reside.
    12
  697. I have dark green eyes and dark brown hair, from Sweden.
    12
  698. Someone asked me what the film was about and I replied “everything”. It is such a simple story that works on so many levels. Profound questions about culture/civilisation and nature/humanity. End of innocence. Irish mythology. Why are we here. You can watch and absorb all in such a beautiful film. Script, acting, cinematography, music, all perfect. In my top ten. I love your insight into the Banshee - thank you.
    12
  699. Yep - I have hazel eyes and thank you for confirming this for me. My heritage is Scottish/Irish primarily.
    12
  700. Finally a proper review and clear understanding of the film. Thanks for this.
    12
  701. My mom’s maiden name is Chisholm. We’ve traced back to my 5x great grandfather but then get stuck when it comes to his parentage and place of birth. Born around the time of Cullodan. He married a Simpson in Carlisle. Also have Cannon from my 3x great grandmother.
    12
  702. I am a McGregor. Always been told many stories about how we were all “killed” but really after law was set a lot spread out to other lands and continued the lineage
    12
  703. Being a sasanac i enjoyed that good video

  706. Even E1b1b is almost 100% made of E-v13, which is almost the only one and exclusive european sub-haplogroup from the entire E tree haplogroup.
    12
  707. Very interesting thanks as a frenchman from the North ; I had to hang on tight through your lovely scottish accent, keep on the good work ! bravo …awe!
    12
  708. Proud Indo-Europeans speaker 🎉
    12
  709. I am Finnish/American. 100% Finnish genes. Paternal halogroup is I-M253, Maternal is U5b1b2.
    12
  710. I never get sick of this subject for some reason.
    12
  711. I have one Germanic ancestor (from Baden, born in 1840), a 3rd great grandfather. I grew up with a German maiden name. I even took German in College! Then my tests came back and I traced my paper trail… No German 😂 Thanks for this video. My dad, a direct ancestor, had his haplo come back as R-Z253, which is downstream of R-M269 (Irish type 3) and it’s always thrown me off. His results do not say German; he comes back as 1.3 Scandinavian and 1.4 Eastern European (specifically from his paternal side) I guess the haplo could indeed fit? Help me make sense of this 😅
    12
  712. Mate, suspiciously enough in your neighbour country we also have "San Juan" and "noche de todos los santos". These are very likely the Catholic adaptations for Beltane and Samhain. Not oly in regions close to "ancient celtic" zones but at the east coast of iberian peninsula. In San juan people used jump over bonfire, in the other festivity there was the belief that dead spirits come back at that night. Camisa, lagarto, conejo, colmena and many other spanish words are related to celtic language. On top of that, the vast majority of our DNA belongs to haplogroup R1b which is suspiciously again the same predominant DNA of nowadays "celts". Greetings
    12
  713. Keep going bro your channel is going to be huge.
    12
  714. I have the L2 and U152 markers. Sometimes I feel barbaric when I think about it.
    12
  715. Found this very interesting. Though my family has been in England since 1840s, My recent DNA test revealed me to be 50% Irish, 35% Scots. The rest is English, German and Welsh. My Surname is of Gael origin, from a large well-known Clan originating around Loch Lomand and Loch Sloy. A branch went to Ulster. My DNA map was mostly from North Lenister, and North Antrim. Plus Western Isles of Scotland, and of course North East England. The direct ancestor of mine who arrived here from Ireland, has well over a thousand decendents here on Tyneside and all over the world, Canada, USA and Australia.
    12
  716. According to Eupedia's DNA page the progenitors of Celtic culture and language - the Urfield Folk have a YDNA signature of R1b-U152. Very few of the Insular Celts have this particular YDNA signature, but it is more frequently found among English males. More ironically it has its highest occurence in that part of England where the Anglo-Saxons first settled. i.e. along the southern and eastern coasts. The same level of occurence can also be found in SE Scotland - from the Boarders to Tayside.
    12
  717. We Know that Scotia Minor (Scotland) and Scotia Major (Éire) were one Nation on two islands The connection even lasted as the Last High King of Ireland was William De Bruse, Roberts Older Brother, Dam autocorrect.
    12
  718. Loads of those names in Newcastle. I was married to a McDonald, my daughters with a Stewart. My family settled in Scotland, but before that, I think it was Ireland. Two of my sisters married Scotsmen, Kilmarnock and the Isle of Skye. We also have France, the Jacques family,Danish and Swedish before it and Spain.
    12
  719. I have hazel eyes, both my parents had blue, however my father's first passport described his eyes as hazel. He lived in Egypt as a boy. His eyes were blue all the years I knew him.
    12
  720. Cornwall is a Celtic nation with it's own language and identity!
    12
  721. Hey Celtic History Decoded - in context of your interpretation about including "She," you are likely dead on. Colm mentions that he liked the title of his song because IT INCLUDES TWO SHE SOUNDS. Thanks for pointing this out, you've added another level of enjoyment of this film. Yes I saw it and if it holds in theaters I will likely see it again so I can appreciate without the impatient idiot behind me tapping his feet in boredom. This film is definitely lost on those who take in the eyecandy and explosions of standard popcorn movies. It really affects the viewing when people can't help but foist their opinions through chat, gestures and noise. And to hell with whomever allowed plastic-wrapped candies in theaters.
    12
  722. Informative as always your videos Celtic culture is little known especially in Italy although we had gaulish presence here we need informations about your great civilization. Thanks my friend! 😊 🇮🇹🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    12
  723. I once read that it was the Picts that came from Scythia, not the Scots. - That the term 'Scot' came from the 'Scotti' of Ireland and that Scotland didn't exist until the Picts merged with Dal Raita under Keneth MacAlpin. - Jeez, i feel woefully under-educated on these topics! 🤣
    12
  724. Brown hair, green eyes and I am only one in my family with green eyes. I am half Norwegian, 4/8 Scottish, 1/8 Cherokee. The milk man had brown eyes.
    12
  725. I am a McLean from South Africa living in Denmark the last 49 years. Love Scotland - visited Mull and Duart Castle some years ago with my sons. Thanks for your video.
    12
  726. I couldn't help but notice a few of the men rowing that ship are doing more splashing than rowing. I have spent days in a canoe.
    12
  727. I have very dark green eyes. They are forest or pine 🌲 green.
    12
  728. I want to visit Ireland ❤
    12
  729. Why does Breton have the same national anthem as wales?
    11
  730. My daughter and son got DNA results of 95% Scottish from the Hebrides 4% Germanic 1% Icelandic. We are from a predominantly Scottish area of Eastern Canada.
    11
  731. Nice, the Galatians in the new covenant are Israelites, have you read the Scottish declaration of Arbroath? It talks about their travels from Scythia and earlier Israel.
    11
  732. I m spaniard, so maybe welsh people are our far cousins?
    11
  733. I'm 60% English, remaining 40% is Scottish, German, and Dane! I'm R1b-u106-z156. My family left England for America in the 16th century, but we've remained firmly Anglo, genetically speaking.
    11
  734. Interesting, Thankyou.
    11
  735. Ha en flott dag! - Have a great day! 🙂🙂
    11
  736. the celtic influence is still very relevant in north-western iberia with thousand years old traditions like the Caretos still being practiced in Northern Portugal/ Galicia and Asturias
    11
  737. Green eyes, fair hair, pale skin and freckles…love my eye colour! I’m from the UK, but I believe I have Irish ancestry. My mum also has green eyes, but my dad’s eyes are brown, as are my sister’s
    11
  738. My Norwegian DNA comes from the island of Britain. Norwegian Vikings established settk Vikings established settlements in England & Scotland
    11
  739. My brothers and I were towheads, white blonde, but now in our sixties, our remaining hair is almost black.
    11
  740. Hello from Australia, from a proud descendant of Lochiel Cameron Clan. Fascinating History.
    11
  741. If I can understand your accent perfectly and with a familiar fashion like this yes, there's a connection :D
    11
  742. I know that Romans described Picts & Cimbri as gray eyed people. They said Franks as having Bluish Gray yes. Procopius said Slavs had gray eyes. I am certainly attracted to women with off color eyes.
    11
  743. There are more of Celtic decedents in England than in Scotland, Ireland and Wales put together
    11
  744. I wish the Celts (Gauls, Britons, Gaels, Picts) had stayed united to keep out the Romans. I know there’s a huge Roman fandom, but I always thought they were war mongers.
    11
  745. There is an interesting history of Breton onion farmers sailing to Plymouth and travelling in the area selling onions. I come from a long line of Cornwall and Devon families. There is a family " story" from one of my Cornwall lines of an onion seller way back taking on a cornish surname!!
    11
  746. Don't forget that Alsace and Lorraine were part of Frankish Lotharingia and remained primarily Germanic culturally and genetically until WW2.
    11
  747. Hazel here!! Dominantly Brown but switch to green frequently.
    11
  748. I’d figure DNA wise it’s the whole southern and Appalachian region settled by so many Scotch-Irish.
    11
  749. When I worked in northern Italy some years ago I was surprised to see natural red headed Italian girls, they were probably descendants of these ancient Celts looking at it now , thanks for another informative video
    11
  750. Many of the troops stationed in Britannia, around the time of Hadrian and after, were recruited from the Low Countries and Gaul, sharing a very close genetic heritage with the native Britons. Almost the only actual native Romans present would have been officers and administrators. No doubt they left some genetic legacy, particularly in the places where they were concentrated. But the Roman impact was more cultural and technological, in the realm of ideas rather than chromosomes.
    11
  751. You do. You just don't inherit their genes.
    11
  752. In the late 1600s, a father and son from Clan Ross came to Sweden, the son stayed, worked and married in what is now Finland. He has a lot of descendants in the area I live in, but unfotunately it's so far back that it doesn't show up in our DNA anymore. But the connection can be verified through ancestry research. So, I guess I'm allowed to say that I'm a descendent from Clan Ross. 😃
    11
  753. I like it
    11
  754. I like your accent mate! I’m Canadian of majorly Scottish, British, and Welsh descent with a wee bit Irish, French, and Norman in there as well.
    11
  755. Because Scythia, now the “Pontic Steppe” is the origin of all the Indo-European peoples.
    11
  756. I'm Brazilian Portuguese 37% Native South America 31% West Africa 20% Spanish 5% Basque 4% Northern Africa 2% French 1%
    11
  757. I'm from Ulster, born into a Presbyterian family and also, briefly, lived for 10 years in Edinburgh. Other than speaking 'the hamely tongue' ie Ulster-Scots language, I probably couldn't have been more Ulster Scots if I tried. Even so, half of this history lesson on Ulster Scots is news to me. Much appreciation for Celtic History Decoded. Great content!
    11
  758. I was always led to believe that Tolkein was intrigued by the Welsh language and myths. So I can believe Irish myths played a part in his writings.
    11
  759. I'm Portuguese and in school teachers talk about the migration to Iberia from Celts from central Europe to mix with Iberians to form the Celtiberians (Celtiberos). Today there is a very distinctive culture difference between Galiza (PT) or Galicia (SP) and the north of Portugal with the south of Portugal and other regions of Iberia, this is translated in Football clubs culture, the way people speak using different words to describe things and being more open in every aspect of the daily life experiences.
    11
  760. Aussie here with Clan Black and Clan Rendell as Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather. Love researching my history.
    11
  761. Gorgeous combo 😊
    11
  762. Cows will basically help survive famines and drought since cows can eat anything and help sustain lives and they can simply migrate easily with such culture
    11
  763. I may have mentioned this in one of your other eye color videos, but I do have the dual color form of hazel eyes, with a brown ring in the middle and a dark jade green on the outside, though it is not very obvious except under bright lighting conditions. I imagine most people who note such things probably think they are are brown on casual inspection.
    11
  764. Family surnames were/are Clark, Blair, and Titus. Was told that we’re from the Graham of Montieth Clan but have no way of confirming…for good luck, it didn’t stop me from sewing a swatch of the tartan to the hem lining of my wedding gown, though! Spent my honeymoon in Edinburgh and made a point of visiting Blair Castle (absolutely breathtaking) one day. It felt like I had gone back home…can’t wait to make my way back again!
    11
  765. Just imagine what it was like to have lived then.
    11
  766. Fascinating, as someone who is British and have mostly British ancestry on my family tree other than Scottish and German I uploaded my Raw DNA results into mytrueancestry and found out that Im closely related to: Danish Vikings Franks Vandals Anglo-Saxons Gaels Celtic Dobunni
    11
  767. This was a well constructed and informative video. The Celtic cultures of Europe are very diverse and beautiful
    11
  768. Mine are similar but Blue-grey-Green.
    11
  769. Oh noooo, we’re all Spaniards 😱 I was only joking with my Mum the other day that bagpipes were Spanish Lol …thanks for another good video Steven 😊
    11
  770. My last name is McLennan and am American, so was pleasantly surprised when I did my Ancestry DNA test to see 36% Scottish DNA. Would love to visit Scotland one day...
    11
  771. But we don't look Spanish
    11
  772. Simple answer they have no western hunter gatherer ancestry
    11
  773. I found out that I have 3 percent of my DNA from Wales 7 percent Norway and 4 percent Irish
    11
  774. Thank you, I am of Clan Ferguson, Fraser & Grant. My 6th GGF Donald Fraser died at Culloden April 16th 1746
    11
  775. I agree with you : He existed but the tales are exaggerated.
    11
  776. Thank you Silures. With the Silures, the Romans would have overrun Wales, same as England.
    11
  777. Thank you for this, I was on a search looking for "banshees" in Irish folklore - hit the jackpot here! This is such a great film. So many layers, and brilliantly done all the way through from the writing and acting to the direction and cinematography. Enjoying reading these comments as well, I love when movies stir up conversation and ideas like this. One thing I haven't seen mentioned as much is the idea of broken dreams and lost or missing love. It's another kind of self-destruction we see with Colm, but also we see how Siobhan and Padraic handle this same thing. They have lost so much already, and then we are dropped right into possibly Padraic's biggest dream being broken in real time- the last of his meaningful loving relationships leaving him. Just that one single thread of dreams being broken and how each of these characters respond accordingly throughout the film is enough to love it so much. And that's just one thread- look how many there are! Genius
    11
  778. Nice short education of the historic mythic background the movie includes
    11
  779. That was interesting. I've wondered for some time how much fact is known about the Picts. I can imagine life would have been pretty hard for them in the harsh climate times in Scotland.
    11
  780. I have direct lines to Clan McRae, I was told since I was little we were the clan "Mackenzie's Shirt of Mail."
    11
  781. there were celts in spain and they did speak celtic languages however the dna of the UK comes from the basque country in spain in the pyrenees and that dna has been unchanged mostly due to the RH negative factor that most of them have , which made it hard to have live births with those who where Rh pos. For those who say that either population dont look similar in appearance obviously hasnt seen what they look like on average. While some parts of spain have some mediterrian features most of all of spain is celtic blood followed by Roman blood. Most contributions by the the mediterrians, sephardic jews and berbers will be in the south of spain and in small numbers ( single digits). People in the UK would link closest to the Basque in spain.
    11
  782. Great video! Can you make research and a video about Scottish and Greek people to see if they had items and culture trades between them more 2000 years ago?
    11
  783. My genealogy shows the British Aisles, Denmark and Italy, which was a surprise to me. Many thanks sir.
    11
  784. I have gray eyes with a tad of blue. They came out of my grandmother who was from Messenia, very close to the Nestor 's palace. As is mentioned about Goddess Athena, gray eyes are around with Hellenic peoples for millennia. I believe that it is a trait that was developed through night hunting in wooden and mountainous areas.
    11
  785. Please consider doing a video on how London was founded by the Roman’s
    11
  786. An ancient bone from a sheep that originated in the Pamir Mountains was found in the Thames. (Read it in a book years ago, forget the source.)
    11
  787. The Scythians have never simply disappeared. The became the Sarmatians/Alans, whose direct descendants today are the Ossetians in the Caucasus Mountains. The Ossetian language is among the remnants of the Scytho-Sarmatian dialect group,
    11
  788. I’m Argentinian and never thought I could have Celtic heritage and ancestors. Thanks for making this video! 🇦🇷
    11
  789. I am originally from Scotland but grew up in Australia! Culturally I am Australian! But everything else I Am ancestry wise. Scottish, Northern English And Norwegian on my Fathers side! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇴
    11
  790. Turks may also be closely related with Yamnaya people. Some still call their burial sites Kurgan. They also consider wolves to be sacred. They have two myths of their origin, one with a she wolf and the other with a he wolf. They are also well known for riding horses for raiding and for migrating to cooler mountains in the summers and warmer plains in the winters.
    11
  791. OAP Here, I have DNA of all Four, British isles ,,Nations,,, I don’t think I need to Name um.. But I will.. Scottish., Irish , Welsh, English.. am British…..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥃🇬🇧🍺👍🍻🥃
    11
  792. Evidence does seem to suggest that light colored eyes originated with western hunter gatherers and blue eyes only became associated with light skinned northern Europeans with Steppe ancestry after intermingling with the remnants of Western hunter gatherer populations.
    11
  793. As a Calvinist I love Switzerland. The Reform church comes from the Swiss Alps.
    11
  794. Yeah, its supposed to be Constantine II. Books go much more into detail about Scots, about kingdom of Alba and Strathclyde. Final book of the series is about Battle of Brunanburh and it was pretty good. Season 5 only thing I truly liked were the scots, lol.
    11
  795. I’m from Iceland so my ancestry is about 50/50 from Norway on the one hand and the British Islands and Ireland on the other. With my mtDNA most likely from Ireland (T2a1a8) and Y-DNA most likely from Scotland (R-Z39898). Interestingly I seem to have a dash of Savonian (Forest Finn) ancestry in there as well, though I suspect that it is slightly more recent and possibly via a back migration from New Sweden (Delaware) as it forms a DNA cousin cluster with a lot of people of NA and Colonial American descent. Plus some from the rest of Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Basque.
    11
  796. I'm Portuguese, as well as both my parents, all of my grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. I have no further information before them, but as all my relatives were from the middle of nowhere in the northern interior of Portugal, I always assumed to be extremelly Portuguese. I did an ancestery test a few years ago and got 58% Iberian, 30% Northwestern Europe (Germany/France) and 12% Italian. The Iberian and Italian parts were not surprising but the high northwestern european was a great surprise - I immediatly though about it being celtic origin, but I can't really tell...
    11
  797. I never realized just how many Scottish surnames are hiding in plain sight here in the United States. In my hometown of Tucson, I think it might be possible to plan many a route whereby you remain solely on streets with Scottish names. That reminds me. I have to zip down Campbell later to pick up some Maxwell coffee at the store.
    11
  798. I'm Polish and I have green eyes and dark blond hair. My grandmother had green eyes and one male cousin on the other side of the family - the rest of my family has blue eyes. My husband (who is Belarusian) also has green eyes and dark hair - but our elder son has hazel and the younger has grey eyes with some brown around the iris. I do love the fairies, haha :D
    11
  799. Shame we don’t have much on them but I don’t think they were much different from other British tribes, just minus Roman influence and had close links with Ireland and Gaul
    11
  800. Thank you for another interesting presentation!
    10
  801. You can see today the Yamnaya warrior culture still exist in Northern Caucasian people like Avars, Chechens and Lezgins and Slavic peoples today, these people dont fuck around.
    10
  802. Port port is unlikely you say?,,.. There is a hill in Britain named Torpenhow or HillHillHill...
    10
  803. An unexpected surprise! Excellent and very informative and interesting as always. 🙂
    10
  804. Kernow (Cornwall) has a unique Celtic genetic identity with Penwith (SW Cornwall) being a subset linked with the Basque people according to Craig Weatherhill in his book “The Promontory People”
    10
  805. I am so proud of My Celtic Heritage!
    10
  806. Thanks so much for such a detailed and informative video.
    10
  807. Interesting stuff. I'm an American and the majority of my ancestry is Dane. But i did a 23&Me test there was no surprise on my percentages it was mostly Scandinavian and German. However it also gave me my paternal haplo group which is R--L21 when I researched this it's highest concentration is found in Ireland and Scotland. So my guess is that my paternal ancestor was enslaved or adopted by Vikings and ended up in Denmark.
    10
  808. It reminds me of Mesoamerican tribes attempting to use Spanish conquistadors against the Aztec empire. History rhymes, as they say.
    10
  809. In a weird way the English British Empire brought the Celts greater glory than without the English. Because with the vast lands and resources material of the British Empire. The Brythonic and Gaelic populations in military commanders and soldiers accompanied the English into conquest with the British unification British. The Empire led to a lot of resources to Britain. So with these resources. Scientists and inventors of Celtic origins led to many scientific discoveries and technological inventions. And of course the Celts accompanying colonization in diaspora around the Empire. Without such uplifting from the Anglos themselves are half Celtic anyway.
    10
  810. Thank you for making really interesting videos :-) Do you think you could do a video on the Papar, the ancient Irish monks who supposedly explored the North Atlantic? They'd make an amazing video! Keep up the good work
    10
  811. Very Nice presentation. Thank you. As a genealogist I have been chasing my Abernathy [Scot] family history for almost 40 years now. A couple of years ago utilizing the best genetic Genealogy DNA testing available, I discovered that "I" originated from an area of the NE Scottish Coast near current day Aberdeen. They described my line as Pict and it goes back 4,000 years BCE. I was amazed! Still love learning more about the Picts, Gaels etc.
    10
  812. Watch outlander

  813. Green eyes here from Finland.
    10
  814. Because the Yamnaya replaced this with their language and mythology. Even in the Levant and Caucuses they had some impact, and that's a long way away. Their influence was not only great but long lasting even to the present day.
    10
  815. The Welsh likely have the most unchanged Celtic DNA as they were descended from the ancient hunter-gatherers who migrated into Britain and were not largely affected by Germanic and Viking invasions. The Scots and Irish were folded into the Norse Gael society during the Viking age. And the English are the result of combined rules of the Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Normans, and French.
    10
  816. Thanks for another interesting & educational video. I have not gotten further back than the Mayflower on the female side. John Howland & Elizabeth Tilley are those ancestors. John was a servant yo a Puritan, Elizabeth was a daughter of a Captain Tilley.
    10
  817. I have Hazel eyes. One is more brown around the pupil and one is green. Trippy✌🏻

  819. Bede is commonly known as the Venomous Bede in Wales, because of his stubborn ignorance of his neighbours, the Britons.
    10
  820. Here's some fun info. The modern city of Cambridge in the UK is built on a Romano-British town called ''Duroliponte''. Generally translated as containing two roots. *Duro- 'crossing of/river crossing of' and 'Liponte'. The name of the Celtic peoples in northern Italy. So the town was originally called 'Crossing/Ford of the Liponte'. Is is possible that some of the Italian Celts also moved into Britain?
    10
  821. I am descended from Clan Buchanan via a female ancestor born in Chester, England, in 1751. The book written by William Buchanan of Auchmar published in 1723 stated that the clan's origin was from a prince of Ulster who fled from Viking revenge to Scotland. Research by a descendant of one of her brothers shows that her ancestral heritage is from many clans, including the Stewarts and the Y-DNA haplogroup is R1b and a significant SNP is L1335 which he tells me is that of the ancient Britons and therefore not of Ulster origin as Buchanan of Auchmar had written all those years ago. I love watching your videos. They are very informative.
    10
  822. That Wikipedia article also points out the connection between the Celts & Scythians ... So you are absolutely correct
    10
  823. Interesting I'm Macedonian Canadian was born and raised in Toronto Ontario Canada but would like to know more about Macedonia

  824. Wonderful Scottish accent!

  825.  @celtichistorydecoded  Celtic brothers 🤝
    10
  826. It was surprising to learn that Poland has such a Scandinavian signal among its population. My own DNA tests have revealed 30% Scotish ancestry but also 7% Norwegian and 2% Sweden and Denmark, which was very surprising and I have no idea who they were. It never ceases to amaze me the distances the Vikings traveled. Fascinating genetics and culture. Thank you for another interesting video.
    10
  827. My moms clan name came from an action when an ancestor steered a charging bull away from a noble. Turnbull. Not sure who we were befor that. Thanks and I love your research

  837. Yes. I share 2 segments of DNA with Cheddar Man. 68% of my DNA comes from the British Isle. 32%Scot, 24% Eng., 10% Irish, and 2%Welsh. The rest is northwest European. My haplo groups are x: U8a-1a Y: R-L20.

  840. The Law of Parsimony tells us Q-Celtic arrived in Britain with the first wave of Indo-European migration from the continent with P-Celtic arriving with the second. This explains how their grammar can be so complicated (way too complicated for a lingua franca) and how Welsh and Gaelic can be so different from each other. Also, some genetic genealogists are saying that Indo-Europeans were able to quickly spread through Europe 4500 years ago due to Bubonic Plague killing much of the neolithic population. Looks like lactase persistence may have been the game changer that made P-Celtic speakers prominent in Britain.

  842. Apparently there was one at the battle of Stamford bridge it was suggested he was a giant he apparently stood in the middle of the bridge fending off Anglo saxons until one of the Anglo saxons sailed under the bridge put a spear through him I'm English have a bit of Danish and Swedish DNA so thinking it was probably a distance Viking ancestor...

  843. My dad was red-headed, blue-eyed, about half Scot, about half Irish. We used to say he looked like a viking leprechaun. Very likely the Scot half was largely Pictish, being from Aberdeenshire, and having a particular genetic signature. The Scythians were well known for having lots of tattoos, as were it seems the Picts. I remember seeing a picture of a certain red-haired, bearded Georgian (Caucases) militant who looked a lot like my dad. Could have been his brother.

  844. As always, thank you for the lesson. It seems to me that the Bell Beeker people and the Corded Ware people may have a common ancestry.

  845. Double disc seems to be something like yin-yang and the z-rods is like a turbulent zone between those two. In my culture (slavic) there used to be that duality and the cyclic battle between them, which evolved later on into christian st jerry and snake.

  846. I'm a Canadian but my Scottish ancestors were the MacNicol Clan (my father's line) and the Douglas Clan (my mother's line). I have worked on my family tree for years and we have multiple connections to other clans including all three you mentioned here and I have DNA matches to back that up including a match to Robert The Bruce which I am very proud of due to my research showing I'm one of his descendants. I'm also a descendant of Sir James Douglas and John Wallace (William Wallace's brother) and again I have DNA matches to the Douglas Clan (I don't know if they have Sir James Douglas' DNA but I hope one day to prove that match) and I have a DNA match to William Wallace himself. One other DNA match I'm very proud of is to John Maknakill, the first MacNicol Chief on record. I cannot prove I'm one of his descendants due to the clan not being as well documented as the others mentioned but I am still proud of the DNA match. I believe he fought along side of Robert the Bruce and Sir James Douglas in the battle. What can I say, I love my Scottish roots. 🙂

  848. They are the last remnants of Ancient North Eurasians that dominated Northern Eurasia for 30k+ years. But mixed with Asian newcomers. The "indigenous" Siberians we think of today are all newcomers from Asia compared to them. Ancient North Eurasians spread the red/blond hair + light eyes + extremely light skin all throughout Eurasia. they are the only reason why that pheontype even exists in Europe. Indigenous Europeans had a much darker hair/skin/eye phenotype compared to ANE. The Celts got it from them too, naturally. But the Finno-Ugrics have less indigenous European and Middle Eastern admixture compared to other modern Europeans. haplogroups are a distraction, you can be descended from a people group to 99% and share none of their haplogroups. They can point you in the right direction, but you have to compare somatic chromosomes to find the real ancestral history.

  849. Could you also make a video about the Nordic expedition of the Greeks, under Pytheas?

  850. Wow! I am brazilian of portuguese descendance from both sides of my family and never expected the possibility of being related to celtics in any shape or form! I'll try to learn more since I'm trying to understand more of my roots. Thank you for the video! 😊

  855. My Dad had pale grey eyes which looked like the foam on ocean waves. His family came from Ireland as far back as anyone could remember. Both his parents were from Ireland. As a child he had bright red hair which turned black by age 18. His skin was also very pale. My Mom (Northern European) had light brown hair and eyes. I have hazel eyes with a sun burst of brown/amber with light teal rings. My sister has pale blue eyes and both of us are redheads with very pale skin. I was taught in college that brown eyes would cancel out blue eyes and thus my sister and I both should have had brown eyes. However that was ages ago and your videos are enlightening.

  868. There's a married couple of comedians, Viktoria and Ramil Kasimov. She's an Udmurt and, of course, a redhead. Ramil is from another significant Volga population — he's a Tatar. If you are fluent in Russian, look the Kasimovs up — they are absolutely hilarious. Uralic and Turkic people coexisted along the Volga for centuries (if not millenia), it's really fascinating how their (and Slavic Russian) cultures and genes have intermingled, and yet remain distinct in that area. As a side note, as a blue-eyed, reddish-hued R1a carrier, I'm kinda confused by all this fuss about R1b 😁

  871. Great vid Thank you! One thing I am always trying work out is the Balliol thing. He always seems to take a bad rap for some reason but I have seen a lot of reports that although Edward may have thought he would be a puppet Balliol didn’t have it and resisted on more than one occasion , although unsuccessfull. The other proof of Balliol being a patriot was William Wallace and Murray were fighting for his claim and to return him to the throne. I don’t think they would’ve stuck their necks out for him if he wasn’t worthy. Now no one is taking anything from the Bruce. At the end of the day he got it done at low odds of success but I feel because the way it played out Bruce is always portrayed the good and Balliol the bad. The Balliols may have actually had the better legal claim to the throne from what I have seen as well. What happened at the altar with Comyn will always be a great mystery too. Was it the way the film the “outlaw king” portrayed it or was it more of an ambush to take Comyn out?? I often wondered why it didn’t turn into a battle because surely Comyn would’ve went there with a platoon as well right?
    10
  872. I’m blonde and green eyes, but am short (4’10”) athletic in my younger years, still very active now. Don’t know if my stature is genetically predisposed or if it’s because I was a premature baby. Everything works, though 😂😂😂😂❤

  894. My Grandfather Alexander Michie was born a crofter in Fife in 1870 but came to Chicago, Illinois in 1889. He found work as a stone mason and married a Scot whose family settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He kept his Scottish heritage as a piper marching in parades in his kilt, he trained dancers, and sang songs. We don't know why he left as a teenager, likely seeking a better future than as a crofter; he would never talk about it or contact other family in the USA of which we learned only recently - but his love of Scotland never faded. Thank you for making videos.

  895. I don't often think of Picts and Anglo-Saxons being allies. Except the Barbarian conspiracy. It's usually known that Hengist and the Jutes and similar peoples joining the southern Briton Celts to fight the northern Picton Celts.

  902. There was also a massive plague that swept the west between 555-60. Probably part of the recurring Plague(s) of Justinian. Gregory of Tours in his history of the Franks records the plague in his country. Cities being laid ruin and whole regions reverting to wilderness. The traditional histories of Britain talk of a mass evacuation of the survivors to Britany. The Germanic peoples (and Irish) just walked into an empty land.

  905. Hello, a very interesting book you might want to read is “Albion’s Seed- Four British Folkways in America” by David Hackett Fischer, specifically the section titled Borderlanders to the Backcountry. It describes the history and character of these people and what happened to them when they got here (the U.S.), how they were received and viewed (not very well), and how they ended up in Appalachia. The whole book is thoroughly interesting describing the totally diverse influences of British culture on the U.S. in the early years of it’s formation. Thanks for the video!

  908. I had very red hair as a child and freckles. 2 of my brothers were the same. As we grew older our freckles disappeared, but we still had very fair and sun sensitive skin. Our parents both had black hair. Glaswegian mother Liverpudlian father. Now in old age (I'm 64) my hair is more browny ginger and taking a long time to go grey. I have to have stronger anaesthetics because I wake up during surgery. It's happened 3 times...😳

  909. Blue eyes, hair quite red as a child now ash blonde or brown looking (at age 67) but if I try to color my hair certain colors, I have to take the red out first. So, I would say it is underlying red.

  910. Stewart here, however, when we did Dad's DNA test in 2012, we matched far more Hamilton's than Stewart's. Roberson was another match. I started research in 2004, and was only able to get back to 3rd Gr-Grandfather, John Steward/t b.1794/5 in Pennsylvania (county unknown). Still cannot get back farther! So, I've spent my time filling out the fan chart for both parents. It's been a fun journey!

  920. The Silures were the best when they went up against Rome. Academia sure do love to big up North Wales. Rome only got into Wales via Trade and only upto Caerlleon and Wrexham. The Druids were highly educated, The Zodiac originated in Britain (Wales). Ynys Mon! When Rome met the Britons....The British were Christian and Rome were Pagan. People need help If they believe a few thousand Roman troops took over Britain, especially seeing how Britain was home to a few million people at this point. Most of the Roman records were duplicated and forged by Poggio for the De Medicis in the early middle ages.

  929. One thing people love to point out about the Celts is that they were a not a uniform empire and that they had many different factions but this was the norm in the ancient world even the Greeks which are now put on such a high pedestal were not a united group and spent more time fighting each other than they did foreign peoples. Great video thanks for sharing.

I have a lot of research already and still have some work to do but I am in no doubt that the Templar Knight`s helped at Bannockburn, the question I have now is, Why is being covered up? what is the issue? if they helped, Great! Acknowledge it and move forward, i do not yet understand but I hopefully will!

  938. That is correct. Your y-dna results only represent a very small (but laser-focused) snippet of your total genetic makeup. And yes, it is on your strictly paternal line, as you said. That dna does mutate, but quite gradually. R1b is the most common y haplogroup in western Europe. I have the R1b result on both my father's paternal line as well as my mother's paternal line (I had a maternal Uncle tested for discovering my maternal grandfather's y-dna).

  939. I would safely say that the scots predate the Scythians. Its possible though. Celtic peoples once stretched from spain in the south west, Ireland in the north west all the way to the crimea and asia minor in the east and possibly as far as china.

  941. They were israelites. One of zedekiahs daughters name was Scott and she married a Egyptian Prince. The other daughters name was tamar her nickname was Tephi tay she married a Prince from zara judahs son twin to phares. Tephi came with jeremiah the prophet to a place called Tara a word which derives its roots from torah. In ezekiel it is prophesied that the crown of King David would turn turn turn and it did from the destroyed Jerusalem to Ireland to Scotland to England. Thus God's promise to David has been kept that a descendant of David will always be on the thrown of Israel. Known later as the divine right of Kings. Zara was the twin whose hand came out at birth first. That is why in Irish heraldry there is a red hand . David's harp is also in heraldry. The word Anglo comes from the word an gael meaning a person of garlic descent.

  946. Ireland Viking Genetic Legacy Autosomal DNA approximately 23% is Norwegian. Dublin Vikings -- Norwegian Cork Waterford Wexford Vikings -- Denmark Wexford -- Norman Capital The genetic legacy of the 3 core Viking territories is still visible to this day. Only when the percentage of the total population drops below 5% to the historic Viking populations overlap. To this day on the east coast of Ireland the distinct genetic footprint of the Viking era remains.

  947. I am Irish and from the Northern Ireland border area (Monaghan). in my honest opinion and based on my honest experience, the real and single root cause to the division of the 2 traditions in ireland and the big sticking point is the british monarchy. now things have certainly festered and complicated over the years, but i would put it as the real and single source of the divide. - many calm headed unionists could be persuaded into a united irish state with an all-ireland parliament + all-ireland government (in their eyes, effectively an extension of what stormont in belfast is). - but losing the british monarchy as their head of state would be very hard for unionists to accept. it is everything that they stand for. - that is the real love, affection and loyalty which unionists have. its not to westminster. its to the british crown. take the orange order and similar institutions. their reason for existence and loyalty is to the british crown. the ulster plantation, the battle of the boyne, the formation of the orange order, it all happened before ireland was part of the uk, but under the british crown. - remember also, an independent scotland would likely still have the british monarch as its head of state. - but ofcourse in reverse, nationalist ireland would really struggle to have an involvement from the british monarchy and would want an all-ireland irish president. thats the real conundrum. remember the british monarchy is an exclusively protestant institution with the british monarch being the head of the church of ireland. still today, if a catholic or any other member of a christian church or other religion were to marry into the british monarchy, they would need to leave their church or religion and join the anglican church. (not just the anglican church, but the church of england). the reason i am saying all this is, if there is a real seriousness to reunite the island, the real reason for there to have been division in the first place, needs to be fully understood. regarding an all-ireland flag / coat-of-arms / anthem, with time, these can be agreed on. there is the harp, shamrock, arms of the 4 provinces and much older irish tunes which can be re-discovered to unite all irish people and from all traditions.

  954. I'm Dutch and I have grey eyes. I used to think they were boring, like wet cement, so when I found out it's actually quite rare it was really nice :D (the sensitive to light thing is definitely true. damn you, cars with too-bright headlights!!)
    9
  955. I’m blonde and blue eyed . I think it goes in with my O negative blood type and the ancestors that past these traits to me.

  956. The Romans had enough problems with the southern Britons and used the 'client King' model to generally exert some kind of soft power influence over the island, with the Caledonian confederation having to be beaten down every generation or so to 'refresh' this arrangement. I don't think they wanted or needed to go near Ireland and the 'colony' near Dublin may not have even been Roman at all, but perhaps an outpost of one of the autonomous British Kingdoms. We know from recorded names of the peoples of Ireland that there were identically named groups in both Britain and Ireland, and trade and political relationships between the two kin-groups would be expected. Interesting though, we see the rise of the Irish pirates when both the Roman presence and strong British Kingdoms begin to fail, suggesting that the Irish had been 'policed' or 'kept in line' up until then.

  957. Such an interesting video! Combines culture, anthropology & migration. Well researched!! My haplogroup is H10e. I’ve had DNA testing to identify relatives. What a wonderful way to look at the rest of humanity. Have met many “DNA cousins”. I knew a lot of my ancestry before DNA testing. My dad’s background (R1 b) was Irish, Scots-Irish. My mom was German-Dutch. (My parents & their parents were born in US.) Also, some Scandi & SW Asian (first farmers) One company was able to assign my DNA as 46% first agriculturalists, 44% Hunter-gatherers & 10% iron -age people. Each one of us is such a blend of all those who came before!

  964. Had to be a night attack as recorded by the Roman sources as opposed to a day victory (which is more likely, imo). Could not have a standing legion lose a battle to a scruffy bunch of barbarians in a (for the Caledonians desperate, homes, families) pitch battle, especially when the writers family is involved. In most cases cavalry doesn't really handle very well over a battlefield in an area you don't know...at night.

  967. The last land bridge between Britain and Ireland was between Pembrokeshire, West Wales, and the Wexford area, South-East Ireland, which these days is now known, drowned, as St. George's Channel. It finally drowned about 7000BC with the rising post-glacial sea levels. Memory of was carried to fairly recent times.

  972. Good little vid, compressing a potentially massive list of subjects into something manageable. Gaul wasn't just conquered by Caesar but destroyed by him. I think its in his own writings that he brags that he killed 1/3 of the population and enslaved another 1/3, the survivors were likely hit with famines. Even by Roman standards the destruction of Gaul was outrageous and was motivated solely by Caesar wanting to set himself up as a Warlord. The Roman Republic up until then had actually been rather reluctant to fight and most of her territory had been gained defensively by being attacked by older more dominant powers like Carthage, Epirus and Macedonia. The invasion of Gaul was really Rome's first 'Imperialist' war.

  978. In Italy there are a lot of people with gray eyes with all the variations from light to dark and for example I have Bluish Grays and they always confuse me between the 2 or even every now then in the heat it happens that they lighten temporarily and look light green lol . In my family the dominant color is Blue but my 2 grandmothers have gray eyes and I inherited the Grey/Blue color from my father side, while from my mother side had my maternal grandmother has light gray eyes and other my relatives also inherited the gray having the blue has dominant, like my cousin who always inherited the blue gray from her father's side and my aunt from my mother's side has stone gray with a bit of amber as a halo

  981. Hi. My surname is Keena /McKeena from Westmeath, Ireland. I did a Y dna test and this linked me to the Mcdonald clan. This suggests that my name may be an anglicised version of Mac Iain Abrach. I think that we may have arrived in Ireland as redshanks in mid 1500s.
    9
  982. Calm down mate 😅

  983. My Scottish ancestors come from the Isle of Jura / Argyll as far back as I can find. The family name I fall under is "Buie". As far as I am able to find, the Buie sect fell under Clan MacDonald. My ancestor Archibald Buie and three of his brothers came to the Carolinas in 1739 - and here I am today!

  996. A few months ago I heard about Strathclyde and ever since I've wanted to learn more about it. The people who lived there, their language and culture and their history. Good video👍
    9
  997. I've always heard that green was a variant of brown (obviously with no red), thus hazel is somewhere on that scale. When I was a kid I was told I had greenish blue (pers) eyes but now they are definitely hazel. Which makes it much easier on my passport, no one seems to know what pers eyes are. I don't think there are others in my family with hazel. They all have brown or blue.
    9
  998. inuits and other people native to the very far north would be in trouble if they had blue eyes since they would be much more susceptible to snow blindness, brown eyes is much more important there. Blue eyes would only have been evolved in a very specific part of the world that has low light conditions but not too cold, such as the same climate as much of northern europe.

  1002. In my father's line I come from the Celtic Eburone (R1b1a1b1a1 etc.). On my mother's side I am H5a-152. My mother's line was matrilenary 400 years ago (now Duisburg). Men who married were given the name of their wife's mother. I can't find anything about the importance of women in Hallstatt and later Celtic cultures.
    9
  1003. Well, where the hell do I come from, because I'm Spanish with RM269 and I don't understand myself. On the one hand I get Iberian, Italian, Irish, Central European and Baltic or Finnish ancestry in modern DNA and on the other hand I get Western Paleolithic hunter gatherer, Anatolian Neolithic, Eastern European steppe shepherd and Neanderthal in ancient DNA.
    9
  1004. Thanks for the video. Although a little out of date now, the 2006 Oxford University study found that, in England, 64% of people are descended from Celts, outnumbering the descendants of Anglo- Saxons by about three to one.
    9
  1005. I'm decended from clan Morrison and clan Gordon. There are few others from marriage but these two were the most recent in my line. My maternal grandmother was a Morrison and my paternal g grandmother was a Gordon. I love your channel, thank you for all the work you do.
    9
  1006. Genetically the Cornish are much more similar to the rest Of England than they are to other Celtic nations. As you pointed out. How Celtic or even Cornish is Cornwall these days? The 2021 census showed only 14% of the population of Cornwall considered their identity as Cornish, and another 1.6% selected Cornish in combination with one or more UK identities. Cornish people are a minority in Cornwall now. Cornwall has been inundated with people from elsewhere in recent years, mostly from other parts of England.

  1010. I have hazel eyes but always thought they were brown.
    9
  1011. Great video. Your hypothesis are plausible. Having said that, I think that the correlation between R1b and red hair is strong in Western Europe and could have been stronger in the past even among Udmurts. From an autosomal perspective, they have one of the highest percentages of Steppe Pastoralists ancestry, the rest being mainly siberian. Their genetic history is somewhat similar to the one of other European finno-ugric people, where a high prevalence of N y chromosome haplogroups is correlated with high Steppe ancestry. It is obvious that R1a and R1b were the prevalent haplogroups in origin, replaced later by N trough a male driven finno-ugric migration. Red hair was even more prevalent in Central Asia in previous times : the Wusun and the Tocharians had almost all red hair, according to chinese sources and surviving frescoes.Not surprisingly Afanasievo and Tocharians ( and possibly Wusun) had R1b as prevalent haplogroup

  1021. Scythian connections?? Found this interesting in my research: They have been called variously Scythians, Thracians, Cimmerians (and Kurgan Culture), Sarmatians, Cumans, Alans, Huns, Tatars, Turks, Slavs, Bulgars and Goths. In Saratov on the Lower Volga River in Russia, up to 1 in between 3 and 4 people possess this distinctive marker. In Slovenia, at the crossroads of Barbarian incursions into the Roman Empire, as many as 22% of the inhabitants carry it. It is also notable in Ashkenazi Jews, certain Mongols and some Turks. Minimal frequencies occur, on the other hand, in Asians like the Chinese or Indians. One minor branch is found in Malaysia and Australian Aboriginals, pointing to the relatedness of all humans. Another expansion centered on Egypt and became prominent among Berbers..
    9
  1022. Have you ever considered doing a video on rurik the red I assume he was a redhead I also heard that the RUS in Russia and Belarus means red is that true? Katherine of Aragon Henry the 8th first wife was a redhead and she was from Spain. Sorry I’m rambling but I’m a redhead and there aren’t many YouTubers that have put videos out on red hair

  1023. I've been to LAnse aux Meadows. It's beautiful if you get there on a sunny, summer day. It appears to have been a small way station occupied for a decade maybe. It was discovered by Scandinavian scientists following the the directions in the Sagas and then the local Newfies pointed them to the exact spot. They thought it was an old Indian village.
    8
  1024. From a statistical point of view a sample size of 8 is virtually meaningless. As you said in your post: . . . "perhaps: perhaps not". As scientists always like to say: more work is needed.

  1025. Around the time when the Romans retreated south from the Antonine wall to the newly being built Hadrian's wall? Scotland was too tough for the Romans.

  1026. Yeah mate my Irish surname means Son of Olaf even though we are very old Gaelic

  1027. Many of the later peoples who came to England were already racial mixed. The Normans were a mixture of Viking and local French people. The Norman invaders took with them many Breton horsemen with and consequently added a small imput of Celtic DNA to England in the 11th century. Later people known as Flemings immigrated to Britain from parts of Netherlands. These people spread through parts of England, Wales and Ireland, they lost their indentity but would have added their DNA which would have been similar the earlier Saxon people.

  1035. Thank you for your insights and happy New Year!
    8
  1036. I have mostly Mediterranean (Spanish, Italian) descent and my eyes are hazel. They tend to look “brown” from a distance, but from up close, you can see the color. People in my family have brown and hazel eyes primarily, with recessive green eyes skipping generations.
    8
  1037. I think they were Celtic people like the Irish and there was a lot of interaction between the peoples
    8
  1038. As someone who drinks so much milk I need to buy two boxes every month, I'm glad I inherited the right genes even though I'm mixed.
    8
  1039. Ironically, here in Scandinavia the Viking Age is considered to end precisely when the three kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway are unified under each their own king. That is, when centralized power and organization emerges, the distributed and haphazard tribalism of the Vikings is over.
    8
  1040. I have hazel eyes, from the USA here. I am told they change color depending on my mood, clothing, the light. I have a thick dark grey ring around the outside, green and then small amount of brown,amber around the pupils. My mother had blue eyes and my father has one brown eye and the other is almost black. Our heritage is Irish, German, English and Native American. I am the only one in my family with hazel eyes, everyone else is brown or blue.
    8
  1041. I'm not an official "member" of any, but descended from Burns, Boyd, MacDonald, Murray, among others. Burns has been a confounding one concerning its origins. I have a lot of "cousins" from the Scottish Borders, but my Y-DNA now seems to point directly to the O'Bjorn/O'Beirnes "Burns" of Roscommon, Connacht, Ireland. So at least Boyd, MacDonald, and Murray among others.
    8
  1042. True or no, this is the story I was raised with. Thanks for the re-cap. Cheers!
    8
  1043. Thanks for this information! Certainly got my mind whirring! I recently did my DNA, i am 27% Scottish 11% Baltic 46% Scandanaivian 5% irish 6% Balkan N a tiny bit of Welsh Born in East Anglia to a Cockey dad and an Anglo American mum 😅 Once again cheers for provoking my thoughts
    8
  1044. Perfect. New advances in DNA research show recently acquired genetic evidence of our history. I also do my own research, homework. Studying linguistics, genetic similarities and cultural similarities, show a strong correlation between Gaelic and Scythian culture, Yamnia culture, beaker bell culture, corded ware culture. Etc. ad nauseous

  1049. I have hazel eyes, they change colour depending on my mood. I'm British/ Italian heritage.
    8
  1050. Its no surprise that such a multi-ethnic empire didn't leave a particularly strong ethnic trace in any of its provinces. The two particular place names that I think may be linked to the Roman Empire in our neck of the woods are Dumfries (Fort of the Frisians - Roman Germanic Auxiliary troops) and I suspect Loch Humphrey may be connected as well, as Humphrey meaning Hun friend (lets keep football aside for the moment) might also link to Roman Auxiliaries, it being basically on the western end of the Antonine Wall. Its rather pleasing, as I live in the territory of the Meaetae, that we sent Septimius Severus packing, only for him to retreat south and die in York.
    8
  1051. Around 7000 years ago Celtic culture/people did not exist and did not appear as a distinct people/culture until 1300 BC, at the earliest (The Urnfield Culture of Central Europe, sometimes called Proto-Celtic).
    8
  1052. Doesn't "caladh" mean port/harbour in Irish? ("cala" in Scottish Gaelic). There must have existed a Hispano-Celtic cognate "cale", yielding place names such as Portus Cale (Oporto), which later on in the Middle Ages (12th century) served as the coronym for the newly created country.
    8
  1053. I'm fairly new to this. I had my DNA done by Ancestry which confirmed that the second largest percentage of my DNA is Scotish. My father''s last name was Murray but he was forced to change it to King by his mother who divorced my father's father. (It wasn't his fault she married Murray! lol). The largest percentage of my DNA is from south western England, specifically Bristol. I enjoyed your video but I'm not familiar with your accent because I'm American. My parents met while my father was stationed near Bristol during WWII. My mother and her family are from Bristol.
    8
  1054. Both Scottish and Scythian DNA corresponds with: R1b Y-DNA Haplogroups H, U and T Autosomal genes rs4988235, rs1426654, HMGA2 and EFEMP1, for lactase production, lighter skin, and taller stature respectively. Which is specifically Northwestern European DNA, so yes, the Scots are definitely related to the Scythians🏹.
    8
  1055. Wow! Also the curved falcata sword is from there, possibly based on a Greek design.
    8
  1056. Cheers again mate. The Scythian/Scot thing got disproved by DNA i heard.

  1058. I am an American. I am 1/16 Thuringian, 1/8 Hessian, the rest English & Scottish. I am more English than Scottish. My ancestors came to America in waves between 1620 & 1890.
    8
  1059. R1A are Slavs

  1060. These are quite a few conclusions to be drawn from a relatively small sample. Also be interesting to know the source of the samples. Was there a range of socioeconomic status represented or were they from mass graves?

  1062. This is cool I would be curious what you can find out about clan Shaw, I have had a very difficult time finding a whole lot of information
    8
  1063. At the 225 BC Battle of Telemon, the Roman authors remarked that when trapped between two Roman armies. The Celts did NOT run, they acted like Roman professionals and turned and faced both Roman Armies. It was a hard fought battle. And as to Celtic warfare, we have the last example of it with the Highland armies at the Battle of Cullonden 1745.
    8
  1064. I’m pretty Scottish with some Irish and Scandinavian My family is of the Gunn clan and from Shetland
    8
  1065. Thanks for this! Beautiful area - can’t wait to visit Scotland one day. My mothers Danish, all my cousins are there in Jutland. My DNA shows my Danish heritage is based in Copenhagen, Jutland, and there’s a big chunk of Scottish as well. We’re all taller than the historical findings, with the women 5’5”-5’11”, and the men 5’10-6’2”. But i expect everyone has gotten taller thanks to more food. Blond predominates, but in-laws brought in dark brown hair and eyes. My cousin Søren looks like a Viking poster boy with white blond hair, ice blue eyes, and sharp features. Folks in Yorkshire look a lot like my uncles. The idioms in York also translate fairly neatly into Danish idioms, suggesting some influence way back when.
    8
  1066. Brilliant that definitely sounds the smoking gun so to speak like you say maybe they were emboldened and eventually overreached themselves, and maybe after the battle of Teutoberg forest it was well publicised as a rally cry for revenge and retribution, were as in the case of the 9th Legion it was covered up as a source of shame and humiliation 🗡️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  1072. Great info and insight into the banshees, tanks. But I was so upset by the self mutilation of the Colm character, I had a difficult time watching the film after that. The choking of the wee burro was so hard too. Why would an artist cut off his own fingers? As a supposed punishment to his former friend? So I was told that this was a metaphor about how Ireland itself was very divided about how it saw itself after the war of independence. Even the radical IRA factions were divided and fighting (thanks again Wikipedia) but this self mutilation was so personal and disgusting and hard to watch, I could hardly stand it. I just couldn’t imagine purposefully writing it into this story as McDonogh did. Anyone else?
    8
  1073. I would be interested in more info on the Welsh. You kind of glossed over that they showed more of early hunter gathers.
    8
  1074. We Italians have a lot of grey eyes and it’s a fact, for example myself I have Grey Bluish eye from my grandmothers side

  1076. Continents looked very different then, 11,000 years ago, much more land, many more islands. During last ice age, sea levels were up to 120 metres lower, or even more.
    8
  1077. Interesting question. A whole war only known to us form a few lines of prose. I think if it had been a glorious Roman victory there would have been more known about it. The combined attack from the Picts, Irish and Saxons suggests that Britain had been perceived as weak, perhaps native troops had been called overseas? It was probably a season or two of border and costal raiding that was quelled by some minor skirmishes, though the term ''Picts broken'' may suggest more aggressive measures by the Romans, however, if the Picts had been truly broken then you wouldn't need to sure up Hadrian's wall. For all we know the raiders were paid off and went home rich, which was a common diplomatic option in the 4th century.

  1078. I’m in the early stages of looking into my ancestry and I’m finding it interesting. I’m an Australian Robertson whose family emigrated from Isle of Skye in the 1850s. It turns out my autosomal background is about 59% Irish, 33% Scandinavian, 4% German, 2% Southern Indian (Ceylonese colonists I believe). Haplogroup wise, my line goes back to medieval Ireland, being downstream of the Uí Fidgenti and Dáire Cerbba, who I know are semi-mythological, but it’s a cool story so I’ll run with it. Up until very recently I had no idea of my Irish origins, so all of this is very new to me, and I have a lot to find out. Currently waiting on another test with a larger database for better matching so I can really start digging.

  1082. Great info, Welsh nationalists like to invent the notion of a single Welsh polity prior to the Act of Union 1536, however south and north Wales spent more time fighting each other than anyone else.

  1083. True. And history repeats itself.

  1084. I’m about as Viking as you get on my paternal line. My brother and I are both blue eyed blondes though his hair is white blonde where mine is gold. My late husband was known as a black Scot, black hair and blue eyes. A stunning look as everyone knows.

  1085. Great video, was very helpful for my family heritage research. I'm Hungarian but I have a bloodline that goes back to medieval Dutch/Saxon people. These ancestors moved to Slovakia in the 12th century and didn't really mix with the locals. Therefore I've got quite a big percentage of Scandinavian DNA in my results and many of my distant cousins are Danish and Swedish. To me, it seems like my DNA has the Viking era Dutch DNA and not newer or older "versions".
    8
  1086. I thank you for your straightforward analysis, brother. I am Portuguese (and I my DNA carries a portion of Irish also), I have family in Porto, Villa Nova de Cerveira, and in Algarve, we all cherish our Celtic/Iberian ancestry. I must say it is refreshing to hear about the data rather than too much speculation. Thank you!

  1087. My grandma was descended from highland scots who were some of the first who set out for Nova Scotia… MacDonalds from the Hebrides, clan Ranald. She was this tiny little thing, feisty, olive skin, thick black hair and dark eyes. And the temper! I know it’s not at all scientific or proveable, but I always thought of her as a tiny Pictish warrior woman ❤ How does one discovery Pictish ancestry if you don’t mind me asking? Can it be done with autosomal markers or is it only linked to haplogroups? She was H37 but I think her matrilineal line may have been from England or Germany.

  1088. The capital of the Celts was Turkije. 700 years BC.. In other words, we Turks have always been the owners of these lands. we also got back what was stolen from ln

  1089. Being Ptolemaic rulers they were from(originated in) Macedonia having been descended from Generals of Alexanders army and so would have had plenty of experience/contact with Celts from they're northern border indeed I'm pretty sure Alexander had Celtic tribes with him acting as mounted scouts and shock troops on his tour of Persia.

  1090. I grew up saying I had brown eyes with bits of green in them, it wasnt till my daughter had science class in school that I learned (from her) that I had hazel eyes !! :-) For some reason I had always thought hazel eyes were a shade of blue. D'oh!
    8
  1091. My Paternal Dad's side hails from Northern Ireland. The surnames of Scottish clans on this side are 'Gilliland' and 'Mcpherson'. Even though we descend primarily from the Scottish lowlands as opposed to the Scottish Highlands.
    8
  1092. My eyes were hazel when I was younger. They definitely had a ring of gold around the iris surrounded by a blue green color. I have since lost the gold and now call my eyes gray as they are pretty light and look blue or a little green depending on the colors around me. Has anyone else had their eye color change over the years?

  1093. DNA 🧬 test kicked in and apparently one of my great-grandparents was Sardinian…? 😳 😮 interesting and intriguing 🧐

  1094. It isn't the Galician culture who has roots on thd Celtic cultures, its the other way around. The celtic culture has origins in Galiza.

  1100. There is an Irish myth/legend about an Egyptian princess who escaped diuring a civil war during the rule of Nefertiti and Akhenaten with the stone of destiny. Oddly enough the Hyxos ‘foreign rulers of Egypt were red haired and we in Britain particularly in Scotland have upto a 30% genetic trait directly from Egyptian pharaohs compared to the 1 to 4% of modern day Egyptians have, pretty fascinating.
    8
  1101. Very interesting. Let’s face it though - the Scythian origin story was never going to be anything more than myth. The Picts were Bell Beakers, the same as all North-West Europeans. It’s not only those 8 medieval samples that show it. If the Picts were Scythians, then Scythian DNA would show up in modern Scotts. It doesn’t. It seems quite likely that the Picts were the northern end of a language-cultural-ethnicity continuum running from the North of Scotland to the South of England. Once Rome conquered the southern 2/3 of Britain, they built their wall(s), and they referred to the people in their imperial province of Britain as Britons, and came up with another name - Pict - for the Britons to the north of the Empire’s northern limit. It was quite possibly the Roman Empire that created an ethnic distinction between people who previously would have been a continuous series of Brythonic tribes north-to-south. It’s also interesting that the word Briton (Pritani in Brythonic Celtic) means Painted People also. The Roman word for the people to the North of the Empire has the same meaning, but in Latin instead of Brythonic. It is also possible, however, that the Picts could have spoken a pre-Celtic Bell Beaker derived language? When the Celtic language/s entered Britain probably in the Iron Age, Celtic came to dominate, but perhaps in the far north the pre-existing language survived? I can’t remember where, but I saw something reported from some genetics/linguistics paper somewhere that seemed to suggest that as a possibility. If that were the case, then that probably would mean an ethnic split between a Britonic south and Pictish far north even before the Romans split the island. That has a certain romantic appeal. But if I had to bet, I would bet it was the Romans what done it…
    8
  1102. My DNA test confirmed my Swedish origins
    8
  1103. The Roman grasp on British Isles geography was very rough to say the least. Until that Roman fleet sailed around Scotland, they did no even know if Britain was a peninsular or not. IMHO, any Roman force in Ireland would be withdrawn just as the Romans withdrew for Caledonia after Tacitus was recalled back to Rome As to restoring minor kings. Witness how the Claudius used the excuse of restoring King Verica of Atrebates to his throne as the excuse for invading Britain in AD 43.
    8
  1104. I'm Swedish. My DNA is mainly Scandinavian with Finnish, Celtic and Baltic parts, which ties in very nicely with this video.

  1121. A fascinating video. This video just goes to show, even 1000 years before William Wallace and Robert the Bruce were fighting for Scotland’s freedom, the Caledonian’s under Calgacus were doing the same. That alone reflects the tenacity of the people of Scotland.

  1131. I think the Sinclair (St. Claire) family were part of the Templar Order and other displaced Templars would gravitate to someone like Robert the Bruce. There is evidence that former Templars basically created Portugal and were captains in its fleet and Templar armorers invented the halberd which led to the creation of Switzerland. It is very interesting how an Alpine area of goatherders suddenly has a strong fighting force and becomes the center of European banking which had been a vital part of the Templar financial interests.
    8
  1132. Really interesting vid mate! Just to add Black Watch tartan is government issue No.1 and Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders is government issue No.2 I was told when I was in the Blackwatch and we got amalgamated in to the Royal Regiment of Scotland, the RRS tartan is a mix of the two... Maybe you can confirm this if your research comes across it in a future video... Cheers 👍🏻

  1135. Super interesting video. Oddly enough, the high amount of ANE ancestry among some siberian and amerindian tribes did not produce blond hair. Another oddity is that blond hair was more common among funnelbeaker and globular amphora ( both were a mix between EEF and WHG) tthan among Yamnayas. It would be interesting a video about the spread of red hair, considered a typical celtic trait, but present at high percentage even among the Udmurts.

  1144. The failing of your theories becomes evident when you consider the northern peoples such as the Inuit in Canada , the Sammi in Finland, the Inai of northern Japan and Russia.These cultures have lived in the northern climates for thousands of years, so your vitamin D, and low light hunting theories don’t work.

  1149. The Norman onward history is my favorite part of English history. It's Celtic and Anglo-Saxon layers are fascinating too of course. And this. Is fascinating.

  1150. Very deep, man. I read a fictional history novel called the Bard, thar explained the Scottish/Irish (Gaelic) origin, with Mil and Armegin and in that order and if one look at the migration of the Proto Indo Europeans/Celtic people you see a pattern there. Perhaps traces of the Scythians and even the Cimmerians in Britain and Iberia and even the America's. A bit fringey but, it maybe a good look at, though, I was wondering, with all my rambling, if you can look at the journeys of St. Brandon, the Bless and Henry Sinclair and and alleged voyages the the connections to America, especially withe with the socalled Durhare and what was known as a Great Ireland. Just a suggestion, and thanks for the history and of part my culture. Slania😊✌️

  1159. The opening paragraph from Alfred The Great's Anglo Saxon Chronicle from the 1st century AD says The Island of Britain is 800 miles long and 200 miles broad. And there are in the Island 5 nations ; English, Welsh (British), Scottish, Pictish and Latin. The 1st inhabitants were the Britons (Welsh), who came from Armenia and peopled Britain Southward. Then happened it, that the Picts came South from Scythia, with longships, not many, and landing 1st in the North part of Ireland, they told the Scots that they must dwell there. But they wouldn't give them leave, for the Scots told them that they could not all dwell there together ; "But", said the Scots, "we can nevertheless give you advice. We know another Island to the East. There you may dwell, if you will, and whosoever with standeth you, we will assist you, that you may gain it". Then went the Picts and entered this land Northward. Southward the Britons possessed it, as we before said. And the Picts obtained wives of the Scots, on condition that they chose their Kings always on the female side ; which they have continued to do, so long since. And it happened, in the run of years, that some party of Scots went from Ireland into Britain, and acquired some portions of this land. Their leader was called Reoda, from whom they are named Dalreodi (or Dalreathians). I have also heard tales that an Egyptian princess called Scotia went to Ireland or Scotland which were both considered Scottish at that time and lived out her life there. And that her Burial site is in Ireland. Apparently the Egyptians called Brigit's Isles ; The Isle of the Dead because it was always covered in mist and exceedingly cold The Scythians did not originate in the Ukraine/Russia. They came from the Northern part of the Israelite's province's and were part of the 12 tribes and in probability came from Scythopolis before they made their mass exidos and eventually made their way to the Slavic countries and spoke a Slavik Yiddish. Before going further North into Sweden and West into Scotland. They were on average the 6ft tall, blue eyed, and blonde haired Ashkenasi who brought with them their skills in fine metalwork. Before they were Israelites they came from Turkey and Iran and they were Aryians. You are featured on one of Robert Sepehr"s (anthropologist) youtube videos entitled Secret History of the Scythians & Lost Tribes 😁

  1164. Another great video filled with detail and an excellent presentation, thank you. So I’ve taken probably to many dna test and played around in some calculators. The results I get from the main players, such as 23&me, Ancestry and FTDNA, show up as Norwegian, British and Swedish. British being mostly English with some Scottish, depending on the company, and a little Irish, and Welsh. This is more or less what I new about my family. Now when I get into some of the other companies and calculators, that’s when things like Balitic, Asian or Native American, most definitely Sami, start to show up. Hints of Roma trail as well. The biggest take away though is the high Celtic dna I get quite often in these calculators, which have their biases and limitations, but when you see a continuous pattern and then studies and videos like this come out, it makes sense. Celtic from my British, Celtic from a bit of German and French I have and then Celts in Sweden and Norway. Man exciting, but exhausting sometimes. 😂 I hope by sharing my findings and videos like this will help people in their ancestry quest. Thanks again:)

  1165. It’s a lovely film that should not be overanalyzed. Yes; compared to most movies the ending is vague. That’s good. See, at the end of every day things remain incomplete. Life is not a straight line. It doesn’t move from A to B. It goes left to right, up and down and sideways. I like to think the two become friends again. Maybe they don’t. We’ll never know. Nor should we. 😊

  1171. It seems to me that Celtic spirituality and beliefs are very often a part of these types of stories but are usually downplayed or are kept more secret in their wider influence.
    8
  1172. @TroyDowVanZandt Yes, that is right in the Viking chronicles. In fact, in one of his lectures, Professor Ken Harl, one of the best lecturers in "The Great Courses" lectures, mentions this incident and says just what you are penning here. Yours is a very good comment, and the anecdote that you recount adds even more to it.

Although my ancestors (Currens) were traced back to Ireland, I know that Scotland and other European countries as well as Australia has people with my family name as well.

  1176. Hey Ste. Diddorol iawn (very interesting) I don’t know much about Devon, or it’s people, but I know from doing my family tree, that Yr Hen Ogledd (The Old North) and the Welsh who once lived in Alt Clut, some of their descendants moved to Cornwall, so I know that there is definitely a Welsh link in Cornwall, in fact, Scotland, Brittany, Wales and Cornwall all seem to be linked.

  1180. Astonishing how far early people travelled pre Roman. It was over many generations but still. Humans are such curious creatures, wishing to see what's over that hill. Seasonal foraging would encourage following the later ripening in different regions. Your big island has been trampled by many feet.
    8
  1181. Because the earth's axis is tilted, the sun crosses the sky at an angle of 22° relative to the Pole Star, and the two points where the moon's orbit crosses this 'plane of the ecliptic' are where eclipses can happen. Aberlemno 1 [1:20] could be an aid for telling this tale.
    8
  1182. Interesting video - subbed. I have seen some suggest that the R1b Yamnaya shift to R1a Corded Ware is based on the Corded Ware actually descending from a population closely related to but distinct from the Yamnaya, coming from further north into the Forest Steppe. They would also have spoken Proto-Indo_European dialects. Alternatively, I have seen others suggest that the reason for the R1b->R1a shift was about a class/caste shift relating to who was in power. The suggestion is that we only find elite Yamnaya DNA sources because only elites received the burial practices that have preserved their remains through to the modern era, and the Yamnaya elite were a particular clan or group of common descent that all had R1b Y-Haplogroup. But what happened with the shift to Corded Ware was that a group of lower class Yamnaya males took the top position, and co-opted the elite burial rights for their own clan. These people were R1a. So this is why we see the haplogroup change alongside the cultural shift. Something similar could have then happened again with the shift from Corded Ware to Bell Beaker.

  1185. The Griffin was a mythical creature in Scythian lore, but Griffin is a popular second name in Ireland. I'm puzzled by the link

  1186. It's explained in the video. The gene involved is regressive, so neither parent might be a redhead, but both parents might carry the gene.
    8
  1187. So THAT'S it! THANKS!!!!!!
    8
  1188. Absolutely great video. I'm not an expert on genetics by any metrics, but if I understood correctly, the maternal genetics of the Finns are "more European" than the paternal ones? I study Uralic (or Finno-Ugric) linguistics from a historical-comparative perspective, and this would make sense, since Finnish has borrowed most of its words adressing female family members (like mother, sister etc.) from Baltic and Germanic, and the hypothesis on that has been that the ancient Uralic peoples in these areas used to fetch their wives from Indo-European populations. Correct me if I got it wrong though!
    8
  1189. My son had his genetic testing done just for fun recently and his mother is Faroese. We were surprised to find that he had nearly 40 percent Norwegian which means his mother must have a very high percentage of Norwegian. I would have assumed more Scottish/Irish and even Danish but most of those he got from my side. Perhaps the Faroese and modern Shetland Islanders have gone separate ways with their Norse ancestry due to their different paths nationally.
    8
  1190. Top notch! Your descriptions and narration are better with every video. Keep up the good work. Ever thought of making 60 sec. Tik Tok videos to interest the younger crowd in their history and bloodlines? So much of the media is aimed at destroying European identity.
    7
  1191. Great wee bit of research, and when you think of it they’re not static they’re still morphing from they’re ancient origins, cheers mate !
    7
  1192. I notice that haplogroup I is not common amongst Udmurts which suggest Vikings weren't such a genetic influence. Interestingly Udmurts have a relatively high incidence of maternal haplogroup H1a, which is very Fennoscandian.

  1197. Fascinating to see the slide showing all 22+2 chromosomes. I knew Y was small and X larger, but I'd never seen how much variation there is in size between the other 22 pairs. Is mitochondrial DNA separate? I thought it was on the X chromosome.
    7
  1198. In the sixth century there was a short period of climate change due to perhaps a volcano (some say a comet). This caused a famine and parts of Britain were indeed a wasteland. This might have led to the influx of anglo saxons into previously occupied regions now lying desolate and ripe for invasion.
    7
  1199. wow that's one heck of an inspiring speech.

  1200. I think Rome would be found to have written revisionist history about all of the Celt tribes they encountered. Great videos and have a new sub. Thank you.

  1201.  @celtichistorydecoded  It's important to remember celtic was a cultural group as well as a ethnic group. But yes there are quite a few blonde hair blue eyed and red haired Turks. Still very rare and it varies depending on what region your from, not all from celt ancestry. There were many peoples who came to anatolia. Most celtic DNA is probably spread out in the population. Still very interesting and my mother is from Ankara (ancrya) and so were her parents. My father's side is english, we did a DNA test and my grandfather on that side is very celtic almost no Anglo-Saxon.
    7
  1202. That sounds like a you problem
    7
  1203. Indeed, strange, but they are mixt with Swedish DNA. But blond hair and blue ayes are indeed not a monopoly of Germanic people.
    7
  1204. Blue eyes per country (native population): Sweden 58% Norway 55% Ireland 52% Denmark 49% Scotland 46% England 45% Germany 38% Poland 36% Czecia 35% Belgium 31% Switzerland 25% Hungary 22% Bosnia 16% Romania 15% Serbia 13% Spain 10% Kosovo 9% Portugal 7%

  1205. I’m American, me too. I was just thinking that before I came upon this reply.
    7
  1206. Blue eyed here. Dutch & Danish Ancestors.
    7
  1207. It was very surprising when I found out that the linear pottery culture people or closely related groups also left a genetic legacy in Africa due to the mostly prehistoric migrations back to Africa: the Eurasian backflow. The Toubou people of Chad, for example, have at least some of their ancestry from this people or a related group.
    7
  1208. I do have issue with the term ''invasion''. The Germanic people's did invade in the 5-6th century but were routinely beaten back. It was the Justinian plague of 560s that decimated the city-sates and towns of the south-east of Britain and the various Germanic tribes just walked into a near empty land. Then, incorporating the surviving Britons into new Kingdoms with the two populations quickly merging together.

  1209. Thanks for this ❤ I have a lot of overlap with Rathlin 1; he’s my closest ancient dna match on gedmatch so he has a special place in my heart. My mito h6a1b2 is thought to have arrived in Ireland and the BI via the CW/BB - who absorbed yamnayan females as they moved west.
    7
  1210. I traced my ancestry back to Robert The Bruce....he was my 22nd great grandfather
    7
  1211. I did my DNA, I am 18% Scottish.
    7
  1212. Does anyone know the name of the knight that defected from the English side and gave vital info to Bruce? Thanks in advance.
    7
  1213. I'm from Spain and have hazel eyes. They're green underneath with a golden brown burst (they also have some reddish brown spots). Hazel eyes are a lot of fun because they change color according to light and what you wear. I'm into makeup and like to create different looks to showcase the green or the brown. Some people are surprised to suddenly see the green when they thought my eyes were brown. One of my friends told me my eyes' color was "green honey" ("verde miel"). So poetic! 😍😂
    7
  1214. In my dna I've got 17% Iberian, and they were here 5,000 years ago..
    7
  1215. When I was a boy, my grandma (who was born in 1890) told me about the Hogmanay customs in rural Aberdeenshire, where she lived before emigrating with her family to Canada as a teenager. I always wondered why the Scots seemed to make such a big deal of the new year...now I know why! Thank you for this, and for all your informative videos.
    7
  1216. I have hazel brown eyes that are almost amber except I have a good bit of green. My husband has hazel green eyes. His eyes will appear blue when he wears light blue whereas mine appear brown if I wear dark colors. Otherwise, they look hazel or amber in light colors depending on what I am wearing. Ironically our daughter has blue eyes.
    7
  1217. Celts invited Saxons here as mercenaries for protection after Romans left.
    7
  1218. great vid, I had to put the speed to 0.75 to understand it all.😃
    7
  1219. Hi Steven, thank you for another great video. I enjoy watching all your videos! They are very well-researched and informative.
    7
  1220. Not to diss the blonde and blue eyed beauties, but I've always found green eyed redheads the most bewitching
    7
  1221. My direct line is Campbell, but i also have McKays, Mcleods, McDiarmid, Colquhoun, and MacDonalds in my family tree
    7
  1222. Here's another thought- maybe the first king of England wasn't a man , maybe it was a woman hiding her gender like Boudicca?
    7
  1223. I visited Culloden battlefield in 1999, and it wasn’t till August this year that I revisited, the visitors centres is very good, but I absolutely couldn’t believe my eyes at the change in the battlefield, for some reason they are not managing the vegetation and just letting it grow wild with trees etc , if this is left unchecked it will just end up a woods, how sad ….. makes you wonder if there’s a hidden agenda ?
    7
  1224. Born in Dunfermline. My DNA result timeline states that it came into Scotland about 1500 years ago from just North of the Caspian sea.
    7
  1225. Surely England did not sxist until the English arrived (tribes from NW Europe). Celtic England is an oxymoron. Thuere was nowhere called England until about 927AD..
    7
  1226. Nice video - Gallowglass from Irish: gallóglaigh (meaning foreign warriors)
    7
  1227. I am a Sinclair and know well our clouded history. Did a DNA a few year ago which showed Scottish, Irish and Welsh along with Norwegian. Makes sense since the men before me came mostly from the Shetlands.
    7
  1228. My dad had brown eyes and was from Austria. My mum had a variant of grey and green eyes and was from Sweden. Most of their respective forebears had blue eyes. I have blue eyes and I am from Sweden, still lving there.
    7
  1229. I did a DNA test a month ago... The result says I'm 100% Portuguese. How is this possible? And I thinking I was a citizen from the World. 😮‍💨
    7
  1230. My haplogroup is I1a2a2a1b, it’s mostly found in Sweden and lesser amounts in Norway, England and Denmark. I am from England.
    7
  1231. Irish viewer. My 4 grandparents had blue eyes. I reckon it's to do with light cos when I holiday in sunny places, the sunglasses are essential. Otherwise, the brightness kills me.
    7
  1232. Me too
    7
  1233. Cheers from Portugal. My town's name is Évora and its name has the same origin as York
    7
  1234. I enjoyed this film. The writing, directing, and acting (especially) was EXCELLENT! The dialogue was very realistic and humorous in some parts. THEN, as the film progressed everything got dramatically DARKER. I agree, other reviews did NOT go into the old female (banshee) character. I noticed that and it puzzled me, to say the least. I honestly believe that many of the actors should receive an Oscar nomination for sure!
    7
  1235. So not Scots
    7
  1236. We've all got steppe ancestry
    7
  1237. great job fellow celt
    7
  1238. Were these Iberians that migrated more similar to the Basque, Portuguese or Spanish and is there any relation to the Vettones?
    7
  1239. I have hazel- green eyes. 70% hazel and 30% green, depends on the light how it comes out. South Germany, male.
    7
  1240. Hey, my USA friend just put me on you, I am from Carnarthenshire, Wales. Just told him I translated Carter Bar plaque to a half English half Scottish fella when we visited crossing there - he was amazed. Subbed. 👍
    7
  1241. The Vandals, a Germanic people, estimated to have numbered 80,000 people crossed into North Africa and conquered the coastal region of Algeria and Tunisia. So that may explain the grey eyes from their genetic legacy........ maybe???
    7
  1242. I was adopted so I never knew my ancestors but I was told by my preschool teacher(Mrs. Anderson) that I was Scandinavian. I did my DNA recently and she was correct. One of the tests showed a 80 percent direct match to a Nordic Viking from 800 AD. I am tall, pale,blonde but with red highlights.when I visited Denmark it was like going home. I loved the food,culture and the Danes spoke Danish to me even though I’m from the US.
    7
  1243. My wife is Argentine, and her mother's family is Spanish for the most part. There is a little French and Danish in there too. The whole family has blue eyes and very light skin. My wife's father's family is northern Italian.
    7
  1244. My Youngest Son has light green eyes .. but mine are blue/green with yellow around the pupil
    7
  1245. Ah but medieval books do exist, There’s a book called ‘The Mabinogion’ which was translated from the Welsh language, which has my ancestors in, my many times great grandfather King Brân, who was an early King of the Silures tribe of Gwent, his sister Branwen, and his nephew Pryderi, and more. I trust that book more than any Roman version. We live on…Rome didn’t cull us!!! RYDYN NI YMA O HYD!!! ✊🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 WE LIVE ON

  1246. The characters are also split when walking at least twice I think by the statue of Mary. Another Banshee?

  1248. Portugal and spain are interesting Only some Portugal families have Celt lineage like spain ?😊 and the United Kingdom and Ireland.
    7
  1249. My ancester participated in the battle of Culloden. Named Dr Robert Carstarphen. My Uncle told me all about it when I was a child in the 1960s. My great great Grandfather was an Irishman from Dublin who married Saphronia Elizabeth Carstarphen. Her father was Robert. Their account is written in the library of congress. They settled in Alabama in what is called the Grampion Hills. Wilcox County, Alabama. Its no joke that the flag of alabama has a cross in it.Thanks so much for posting the video.

  1251. I have 37% German ancestry I’m 6’1 green eyes light brown hair, I’m also 16% Scottish rest is UK but I’m American ❤
    7
  1252. Interesting that Calhouns are distantly related to neolithic Balkan people. How did they end up all the way over there? I'm sure it's a coincidence, but the name sort of reminds me of the name Slavs used for native Balkan populations "Houmi" or "Holmians"
    7
  1253. as a Lumbard, thanks
    7
  1254. Thank you friend for contributing to the education of maybe the most underappreciated fact of Scottish history.
    7
  1255. Yes, several Germanic tribes which explored south crossed into north Africa. Those Berbers might possibly be related to some of them.
    7
  1256. It could be cool a video about the Tuatha Dé Danann and the sons of Míl Espáine invading Ireland, is a very interesting "conection" between galicia and ireland. :) Great video
    7
  1257. I'm a MacIain of Glencoe but we lived in Shetland until 1963 when our family moved to America; I was 13.
    7
  1258. My eyes change color from blue, green, and gray. I was born with red hair that changes to blond and brown throughout the year. Hi I'm Xavienne with Scott/Irish ancestry.
    7
  1259. Oh yes I identify with this. As a mix of Irish, Scottish & a dash of Scandinavian I heard the expression 'away with the fairies' many times. Someone being a bit pixilated; talk of believing in leprechauns & screaming like a banshee we're all part of the language. We're far enough from our Scandinavian origins to not share the Nordic tales of trolls but as a child the fairy stories included them. I recall adults saying they heard tales about about thunder: it was the trolls playing bowls with rocks up in the caves in the mountains. (It was quaint & amusing then but children didn't believe it)! It's all part of the rich tapestry that makes up our cultural history I believe. I think it maintains a thread of a connection with our ancestral origins.
    7
  1260. Very nice.👍

  1261. I am Cornish from West Penwith and can converse in Cornish. Dyw genes

  1262. South Island of New Zealand is mostly basically Scottish.
    7
  1263. My family is here. I’m a Slade. ( slade, sladden, Slaton)
    7
  1264. I have grey eyes …. The lack of pigment basically reflects whatever color the sky is. The sky is overcast and cloudy my eyes look really washed out. If the sky is blue, my eyes look a lot lighter blue, but still very pale. I have to wear sunglasses all the time.
    7
  1265. Another great video on the topic of Yamnaya descendants. Small correction to the map showing modern political boundaries relative to the Yamnaya homeland - Crimea is a part of Ukraine.
    7
  1266. I would be interested to hear as much detail as possible about French/Irish dna.
    7
  1267. Green eyes and freckles
    7
  1268. Hazel eyes in the US here. My people are from Scotland and Ireland. Our family is full of red heàds. My mom had pale blue eyes and Dads were green. My husband has green eyes the color of olives and our daughter had beautiful dark blue eyes that turned, olive green like her Dad. And of course shes a red head.
    7
  1269. It's a fabulous place and they're still discovering more additional mounds and recently during a drought a drone picked up several more undiscovered circular features in the locality that they have yet to dig and uncover.
    7
  1270. The fierce highland clans maybe a descendent of the ancient people's that resisted
    7
  1271. I'm half Welsh and half English and born and bred in England. Whenever I go to Wales, they tell me, "You're alright, Boyo, you're only half a bastard." 😂
    7
  1272. I was blonde as child. My hair turned to light brown at about 10 years old. I have hazel eyes. R1b-L1335 S764 744 West Highland Gael Paternal DNA. However, I am an American mutt with mix of almost all west European countries.
    7
  1273. My paternal grandmother is a MacLean. They came from Argyll when she was a child. I am forever proud of these roots! Thanks for your video.
    7
  1274. I think the charge of genocide is probably fair, these were proto-Ghengis Khan's basically, so the Viking parallel makes sense. The eastern ones created the ancient caste system in lands they conquered and the corresponding colors to these castes are still displayed on flags across this region: White for the ruling class, red for the warrior class, and green for the farming class with distinctive hierarchy. The native people's they slaughtered were much more egalitarian, when they discovered their ancient homes, they thought it was a palace, and then they find out everybody in that time lived in a "palace"
    7
  1275. That explains my eye colours! Very interesting indeed. Thank you.
    7
  1276. I have hazel eyes, mostly amber with some green. I also have a ring around the outer edge that can appear grey or brown under various conditions. On the rare occasions that I wear makeup, I tend to wear a green eyeshadow to bring out the greens. Also, I have a mix of Celtic (Scots), French, and English backgrounds.
    7
  1277. The Irish lore is full of wonder and dread. Hy-Brasil may be inhabited by things more fey than even the Tuatha Da Danann if it would only sit still and let us take a good look at it.
    7
  1278. Stop trying to kill my fantasy that all Vikings look like Travis Fimmel 🤨lol
    7
  1279. My mother had the most beautiful green eyes. My eyes are hazel, but they can change with mood and turn more green at times. I didn’t know green eyes were so rare.
    7
  1280. R-M269 here mate

  1281. They were finally stopped by clan Nurmagomedov in the year of our lord 2018 😂
    7
  1282. I think that is the same Brennus that sacked Rome?
    7
  1283. He is scottish
    7
  1284. Romans called what is today Ireland by another name as the Irish never existed in the early centuries it was called Scotia (,Scotland) and the people in Scotia were called Scotti (,Scots) it was these Scotti (,(Scots) that formed Scotland with the Picts there was never any Irish involvement as they did not exist in the 5th century
    7
  1285. Thank you for the history of my ancestors👍
    7
  1286. I have Davidson ancestors who where said to be from Wick in Caithness, but I don't know much about them. My mitochondrial DNA is Scottish I believe, but I have never had it tested.
    7
  1287. My grandmother, named Sarah McPake, moved to Canada 1924. She was a highland dancer, and I proudly own her full kilt, Royal Stewart, except the socks. (Sword and bayonet)

    7
  1292. Awesome video. Interesting and fun
    7
  1293. Merry Christmas mate
    7
  1294. Great work. Scotland's role in the British Empire cannot be understated. So many merchants, governors and empire builders were Scottish. I think Burma was unofficially known as ''the Scottish Colony'' due to the amount of investment and trade between it and Alba.
    7
  1295. You know that anciently Scythia is a mistake for Skandia by Bede, so connection with that region is more likely.
    7
  1296. I like to think the Irish could have defeated at least 1 legion, like come on man, it's not THAT small and it's not like there wasn't fighters there already
    7
  1297. Thank you for the lesson.
    7
  1298. it was a bit too graphic for me. I didn't need to see the first king sit on a bone
    7
  1299. My brother and I have hazel eyes. Our mother and her brother had hazel eyes. Their mother had hazel eyes. My daughter's eyes are more brown, but my granddaughter has hazel eyes.
    7
  1300. In the Netherlands there is a saying: 'Born on the correct side of the river.' Which is basically just banter if you hear an accent from the east, south or west. Perhaps there is more history to it but idk
    7
  1301. My husband had red hair, it's now blond. Our daughter has red hair. My husband is Scottish, so was my maternal granny, she had black hair though.
    7
  1302. Hello from Finland, It would have been worth mentining that Finnic people push Sami people north when they arrived to Finland. Both Sami and Finnic people have their origins in Urals but Sami people arrived here earlier..
    7
  1303. Actually Irish history has the Irish (Scotti) as Kelts coming from coast of Spain to Ireland after being preceded by several of almost mythic groups one a group of bag men who traveled from Asia Minor. I have read or listen to several different accounts of the Picts. One being they were Kelts forceably supplanted by the Scots after the Roman's took or left Britain. Another that the Picts were a more primitive or aboriginal people who did not speak Gaelic. There are others that seem closer to the Picts not being Kektic. It is possible to explain the discrepancies but Instead of speculation more research and discoveries need to be taken and found. Some resources claimed the word Pict means red. In this vlog the host has a different interpretation. This is interesting. Which meaning is accurate or maybe both are.
    7
  1304. Pipes are played in Portugal as well!!
    7
  1305. Oh I do love your videos Ste. Betrayal is always a strategic factor in plans of advancement and power…even in this day and age! It fascinates me even more going back in time. I don’t know much, other than my families ancestral peoples, but I’m learning a lot through your videos, Thankyou Ste 😊
    7
  1306. ❤❤ awesome!

  1307. The Scythians were R1b1a1a

  1308. Hey brother I love your analysis and videos! Just wondering how you missed the Carthaginian colonies that were in España for centuries before the Romans? Keep up the great work!
    7
  1309. A lot of Basque similarities in Sardinia. That showed up also on my DNA test. Check out the Armenian and Basque connections.
    7
  1310. Green eyes red hair 👍
    7
  1311. From my research all names with Mac are Norse-Gael. Also, have a look at "The Viking history of North West England", we're still here :)
    7
  1312. I have hazel eyes. My dad was a blue eyed redhead (carrot top) and my mum brown eyed with dark brown hair. I was born in southern England. I have lived in subtropical Australia now for nearly 60 years and my eyes have changed colour at different times in my life. They were brown/green growing up but now they are more bluish. At one time they were mostly brown. I have always felt special having hazel eyes. Thanks for this information.
    7
  1313. I have green eyes and I i love them. Of course we are the rarest form of eye color too. Lol My mum has btown eyes and my pops has blue, hazel. Both of my kids have mixed as well. Thank you for the intel on this. 👍✌️👊🙏💯
    7
  1314. My maternal grandfather immigrated from Dunbarton. He was a Walker, connected to the Lamont Clan. My Father's family, Smith's are connected to the Henderson Clan.
    7
  1315. This is the most beautiful 😍 combination in the world.
    7
  1316. Both Grandfathers continued to speak Gaelic after moving to North America and both married Native Americans.
    7
  1317. I come from Clan Cameron and Clan Davidson
    7
  1318. I'm Portuguese, born in Lisbon and my mother's side had a lot of people with light blonde hair, including my mother and grandfather, my mother always used to say my ancestors were Celts, whether that's true or not I have no idea, to my dismay I didn't get blonde hair :(
    7
  1319. Very good analysis of the complex European politics behind the Jacobite Rebellion. Also remember there was a lot of highland sympathy for the House of Stuart, as it was originally Scottish.
    7
  1320. It reminded me in tone of “The Playboy of the Western World”. Something about the setting, and the tone. The rural savagery of it. I loved it.
    7
  1321. Thank you for the video. I am descended from a couple that emigrated to the US from Ireland during the "potato famine" and have had an interest in learning more of my roots. Who to say that fairies do not exist? Where I am now in the US the Native Americans have had numerous stories and accounts describing the little peoples of the forest, lakes, and even in the southwestern deserts. It would be prudent to pay respect towards them as you travel amongst the rocks and boulders, or through a forest. Otherwise, like the fairies of Ireland and Scotland, they can lead you astray or confused your thinking. And by looking through the internet, these "wee folks" can be found in cultures all over the world.
    7
  1322. Were the Scotti Irish ? Dr Ewen Campbell asked this 20 years ago, archeologically there is no evidence to suggest a takeover in 500AD by Fergus Mac Moir - my historian friend theorises gaelic coming about thru trade because the proximity of N Ireland and W Scotland is 30 miles roughly - they could see other easily, this trade has been going on for thousands of years
    7
  1323. Genetic History/Ancestry/DNA/Clans & Scottish History are my first 2 choices but they all seem interesting.
    7
  1324. Thanks! I appreciate your channel. Keep up the good work!
    7
  1325. What a delicious accent you have!🤩👍
    7
  1326. So am I
    7
  1327. My eyes are hazel. When I wear blue they look gray, when wearing earth tones or black they look like a mix of green, brown. Was told they flash when mad
    7
  1328. I wonder why Mel Gibson left Moray out of Braveheart
    7
  1329. There is a strong link between Albanian, Sardinia, Bascue and kelts
    7
  1330. Great Video. I live in Brecon / South powys. My Grandmothers Maiden name Was Doyle.
    7
  1331. I'm a redhead, and I think the "hotheaded" myth comes from less Vitamin D absorption, causing possibly higher rates of depression, triggering higher rates of irritability. Some friendly food for thought.
    7
  1332. I haven’t watched the movie but the title immediately gave me the impression that it also meant The bench of inner sharing. A place where people sit to talk about deep feelings.
    7
  1333. Have just been reading about Roman occupation and the Walls in Tim Clarkson's book. Very much enjoyed the visual reinforcement and hearing the pronunciation of placenames etc. Thank you for your hard work 🙂🙏
    7
  1334. Why does it sound like there's a question mark at the end of every sentence he's saying??

  1335. Very good channel, I'm going to follow you mate.

  1336. As always, your videos are great information!

  1340. My great grandparent was from Norway. Very cool
    7
  1341. How did it happen that they got an indoeuropean language with such small yamnaya contribution? Curious...
    7
  1342. London doesn't apply though lol
    7
  1343. Green eyes explains my personality. Only 2% world's population have green eyes. All are Viking decedents. Green eyes are the rarest color on earth.
    7
  1344. Love your interpretation. I saw this a a kind of fable as well; the characters not so much characters as representations. One key theme I did not hear you describe is Denial, which comes up in so many ways. "there are no banshees here" for example. Ignorance about the civil war in the background. Colm's denial of pain, well everyone's denial of pain. As for the title, your take is interesting; maybe there's a double meaning... I took it to mean the island of Erin, or Ireland itself; and the drama representing a psychodrama of Ireland struggling with its own story of pain, having suffered centuries of oppression, and finally thrown off the oppressor, descending into its own civil war, friend against friend. But denying the tension and pain this causes, right up to the point of sacrificing life itself. And in the way of perpetuating conflict, the counterposing of the banshee herself against the symbols of catholicism that abound, the co existence or even battle between the ancient spirits and the church.
    7
  1345. Interesting thank you! I have Scandinavian & Celtic ancestry but I’m from the northeast of 🇬🇧 booo 😆 Really enjoy your informative videos of the British isles.
    7
  1346. I do have hazel eyes. A few people notice that difference. It is different. I eventually got used to this color. Took time.
    7
  1347. Appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing. I am a McCollum. Have you done that name yet?
    7
  1348. Norwegian vikings love Dal Riata area and the rest of Scotland and Ireland. Scots stil use the norwegian R when they speak english.As a norwegian I think it is very cool.😊

  1355. My Mum's family are McGill's from County Down, descended, patrilinealy, from Gall Gael mercenaries that arrived from Galloway in the 14th century. The family identify as Irish, but are very proud of their Scots Gallowglas heritage. Interestingly, my Scots Dad's lowland family are of patrilineal Norse descent. You'd be surprised at how many Norsemen settled in the lowlands and the borders, marrying into the Anglian and Cumbric people that were already there.

  1356. Sounds like the vikings tinder was to go on a raid and trade sea journey...
    7
  1357. Thanks again.They just look more Spanish than Irish or Scottish.
    7
  1358. Great job. Very up-to-date and succinctly presented. I am English and live in America. This video is a good way of explaining why it is not always easy for genealogical companies like Ancestry to separate out DNA from the various parts of Europe and particularly the British Isles.
    7
  1359. I was reading about reading the close relationship between the italic and celtic cultures and languages. There is a hypothesised proto italo-celtic language and that they may have become separated from each other because of the alps and the non Indo-European etruscans in the north
    7
  1360. My great grandma was a Gillis. A lot of Stewart/Stuart further back.
    7
  1361. Not sure bout 'Spanish' - a bit of a click baity title - Western European Hunter Gatherers might be a better description
    7
  1362. I have green eyes and I love it. Now I feel really special. And I do have Celtic and dramatic ancestry so there you go.
    7
  1363. Great video!

  1366. Bit random but just had my ancestry dna test results today. I'm 31% Scottish. Who knew. I have never visited, that is something I shall have to remedy
    7
  1367. My paternal grandmother was a Duncan and was born in Glasgow, and came to Canada in the late 1880s or early 1890s. My maternal grandmother was a Young. I married a Hamilton who also happened to be born in Glasgow!
    7
  1368. I forgot to mention, in Hawaii we have mythology of our people going out and colonizing egypt and sumeria :) Our language shares a lot in common with hebrew which is really weird and seems almost impossible. But our mythos states they descended from us. We are taught there are FIVE great floods or resets.
    7
  1369. There is a battle in rigveda talk about a battle of ten kings. And losers where exiled out of country. And danu in India means water,river,drop of water.. and there is a rigveda God danu in India. And there are so many rivers in Europe I think which starts in the root of danu, like Danube,and so many I forgot and Sanskrit is the oldest language also. So I think you must be a clan of rigveda people danu..

  1370. Thank you for this good info, dear. My dad’s parents were blue and brown. Mom’s parents were blue & the palest green I’ve ever seen. Grannys eyes were awesome. Dad = brown, mom = normal green. My brother = hazel, me = dark green as a kid. Now they are blue most of the time but still dark green now & then. My husband = brown. Our daughter = hazel

  1373. Atlantis was a global empire with many satellite settlements around the world. However, the Azores makes a lot of sense geographically.
    7
  1374. The Viking settlements on South Greenland and Canadian Labrador/Nova Scotia and US New England were doing well, but then the Mini Ice Age turned up in about the 1500's that seriously cocked up communication logistics. Crippling killing sudden winters.
    7
  1375. Allt Clud means 'the summit/peak of the Clud', (pronounced 'Cleed'). Ogledd is a 2-syllable word in which each syllable has equal emphasis in Welsh: og-ledd. Very interesting video.
    7
  1376. The depiction of Boudica's chariot is an pure romantic Victoria fantasy. Celtic chariots did NOT have scythed wheels, and the wheels were not solid cuts of tree trunk. These chariots were beautifully designed vehicles of high status and war.

  1377. I have the same .Father side from Yorkshire . Mother from Scotland .Clan Mackenzie . Danish ,Norwegian and small amount Swedish .

  1378. Im northern Italian. In my area there are A LOT of celtic arecheological stuff, burials, steles (the oldest celtic inscription ever was found near where i live) an unearthed stone circle to calculate the dates, rock carvings and even the remains of the ancient town, with the dug basements and foundations. Im from Como.
    7
  1379. I'm a Grant and have no information if I'm related to Scottish Grants. I've only traced my Grant line back to UK. Have Scottish ancestors from Arbroath, 'Littlejohn' but I'd love to find more on Grants. Can only get to Henry Theodore Grant (1826-1900). Born in UK but always parents unknown. He was transported to Tasmania. He's my great-great grandfather and he had a son William Henry, in Tas,. who is the father of my grandfather Edward 'Jack' Grant. I met a Grant here in Tasmania, who knew he was from Scottish clans, and he was tall, and I could see him in his clan colours with a axe in his hand, and he looked like a clansman.

  1381. Clan Weir, founded by a de Vere descended from one who came over with William the Bastard. Many places named "Vere" in Calvados and Normandy in general. I have the de Vere family in my ancestry, and the line takes me through most of the early European kings to Charlemagne the Great, also into Ireland and through various kings and tribal chiefs there. All much to my amazement, I might just say...

  1382. I love your Scottish accent.

  1385. Great video, thanks for sharing. For my part my family, the Colvilles are of Norman origin. Our family tree is massive, beginning in circa 1000 A.D. with Gilbert de Colville, and later his son William would join the invasion of England in 1066. It's kind of fuzzy to me what happened immediately thereafter, but I know the Colvilles were granted land in Scotland. My particular branch of the family came to the newly formed United States of America about a decade or so after it's founding and spread west, dropping the 'e' from the end of our name at some point for reasons unknown. Oh, also our motto is "Oublier Ne Puis", or "We Cannot Forget".

  1388. Very well explained and researched article on Ireland. Thank you.
    7
  1389. From Jutland, Denmark and did one of those DNA tests (for what they are worth) a couple of years ago and it came back with 13,9 % Scottish/Irish, 10,3% Eastern European and the rest was Scandinavian. I have no know relatives from either EE or Scotland, Ireland so it may reflect where a certain seafaring people went or perhaps comes from later historical events.

  1390. Thanks Celtic History Decoded for your interesting videos about where we come from with an emphasis on Central Asia and North West Europe this time. this science is fascinating and enlightening with your presentation being entertaining, interesting and educational! More power to you, John Lampe, sunny Perth, Western Australia. P.S.Happy New Year!
    7
  1391. Excellent! my YouTube feed hasn't produced your posts for a while. But I really enjoyed this post. One thing about the Denmark 2008 study regarding the 'origin of blue eyes being the Black sea region'. This sort of finding can be defeated by logic: thus if the mutation for blue eyes spontaneously arose sometime in the black sea area, why could it also spontaneously arise elsewhere?
    7
  1392. my maiden name is Sinclair. A baron came over from France with William the conqueror. He came from St Clare in Normandy. My ancestors migrated down from Sutherland round about the Highland clearances and settled in central Scotland. I often wonder if the baron's name St Clare could have changed over the years to become Sinclair. I've never tried to source anymore information

  1393. Hi from the Black Country, I’m a fella with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. When I was young it was white blonde, my parents and brother were born blonde but went black and brown. Thanks for the videos I enjoy them
    7
  1394. The amount of interesting history that will never be told is insane
    7
  1395. Noswaith dda Steven Goch! 😊 My Stewart’s originally came from Brittany to Scotland. Hard to say about the ifs and buts as to what would’ve happened hadn’t the Anglo Saxons of invaded. There certainly would’ve been a different ‘norm’ to what it is now. Whatever would’ve happened. I’m pretty sure the Royal Houses of Wales would’ve survived and my many times great grandfather from Powys would still be fighting against the Gwynedd lot and capturing castles and burning houses down, taking prisoners, and generally running amok! ✊🏻

  1396. The fiddle is a banshee too. A clear, soprano voice and what someone does to free himself from it. Women are the most important aspect of this film because of their obvious absence.
    7
  1397. Great video! People should read John Reid's Eagle and the Bear, which was published this year. It may be the best book to date on Rome's wars with the indigenous tribes of northern Britain. Those living north of Hardian's Wall were very tough and fierce fighters, and even the few Roman sources that remain describe them as such.

  1402. My greatgrandfather told me one of our ancestors was a fisherman from Orkneys who fished in Shetlands and married from there. I was surprised how accurate my DNA test was and pinpointed there. I think they are more Vikings, right?
    6
  1403. Mexican here with 70% Spanish ancestry 🇲🇽 🇪🇸
    6
  1404. If you’re talking about the Fomorian’s influence on the forces of evil in Lord of the Rings you should really talk about their leader; Balor of the Evil Eye. A giant with one huge terrible eye which was the personification of the scorching sun and struck terror and chaos upon any who looked at it. He bears passing resemblance to another character
    6
  1405. Hi Steven. I’m particularly interested in Alt Clut, and how and why my Welsh clan settled there. Yr Hen Ogledd.
    6
  1406. It has been noticed that modern Celtic languages are grammatical similar to Semitic languages. Any thoughts?
    6
  1407. I'm Dutch and according to my DNA I'm 25.1% Scottish/Irish/Welsh (Celtic)
    6
  1408. I'm finno-swedish and my dna test was 53 % Finnish 28 % Scandinavian and 18% Baltic and 1% innuit. Not suprised when know our history, often it shows that we are 1 % innuit but it's more likely from siberia that 1 % are.
    6
  1409. My DNA states eastern Cornwell-Devon. My paternal ancestors were tin miners in the moorland.
    6
  1410. I’ve got Scottish ancestry and I live here in Arkansas, USA. But my name is Armstrong a name from the Scottish borders. I’ve heard they were mainly part of the Scots/Irish since most American Armstrongs came to America by way of Northern Ireland. But I have plenty of Scottish Highlander names mixed in my family tree like MacEntire,Campbell , MacGregor,Ferguson and Gibson.
    6
  1411. The Mackenzie clan, my grandmas father immigrated to Canada from Scotland. William McKinnon Mackenzie I have his bible dated 1925 rosshire Scotland
    6
  1412. Thankyou ✌️
    6
  1413. There was also a large Celtic migration to the British Isles between 1400 - 870 BC acoording to one genetic study.
    6
  1414. Strange because when i've seen genetic maps of Britain, Cornwall is depicted as having 'different' genetics .. usually a pink colour on the maps? I live in Cornwall and my job advisor said she had a genetic profile done and said she's 100% Cornish. So go figure i guess?
    6
  1415. 0:08 old kannada script
    6
  1416. I am Norwegian, and a quarter Danish (father is half). My DNA also show from Sweden, which is not uncommon ofc when you share a long border that have not always been constant, and also seeing that DNA is not strictly "Norwegian or Swedish". I am probably genetically closer to western Swedes than to western Norwegians, judging from my family tree history. Talking about borders and DNA though, much of the 'Swedish' ancestry I have is pinpointed to southern Sweden, which I believe is because much, if not most, of my Danish ancestry stems from Danish Scania. I have read about my ancestors in history books, that fought in the Scanian wars. So thats quite interesting. Also I am a tiny bit Forest Finn (from mothers side). So I feel well represented lol 👍
    6
  1417. My haircolor changed many times from nature .first blond with a bit red then a bit darker red then brunette and finally light brown with blond and red parts in autumn a bit more red then in spring.I have blue grey eyes what nobody of my ancestors had as far as i know.I have from mothers side haplogroup H what is in todays world mostly in India, Pakistan and south siberia but not in europe.Great video thanks.:face-red-heart-shape:
    6
  1418. I did an ancestry test about 2 months ago, and I came back 2% norwegian from my paternal side. But recently my half aunt did an ancestry test, and found that she has 9% norwegian and 7% swedish and danish from her mum who is my nan. Even though it didn't show up in my results, I definitely think I still have that Scandinavian ancestry from my maternal side aswell.

  1419. David Reich’s book was an amazing read - and very accessible for non scholars 💕

  1421. Thank you for expanding on the Irish folklore dimension in this fascinating, multi-layered film. I just watched it last night, and videos like this really help me get to grips with some of its facets, and just how thought-provoking it is. You could also mention the juxtaposition of the role of the church and the priest with that of the old woman. The camera work and the score play an integral part in contrasting the beauty of the setting with the troubled lives of the inhabitants. I particularly loved Colin Farrell's facial expressions, as he goes from being the man perceived as normal to the point of dullness, to being increasingly perturbed, to being unhinged – terrific acting. The more I think about this film the more I see in it.

  1422. Ta mate.I was meant to see it in 2020 then covid stepped in

  1431. Always interesting and professional . Thank you Sir!!! ❤️
    6
  1432. Thanks for another great vid! There's one thing I'm trying to figure out, namely, which ancient populations do we get our light features from (skin, hair and eyes)? Is it from the Steppe Herders? If so, then why are northern Europeans usually lighter than southern Europeans/Mediterraneans/Levantines, with more instances of blonde hair and blue eyes? Would it be because they have more Steppe ancestry? This is just a theory I heard, but I have no idea if it's true. If you're able to do a vid on that topic, that would be really awesome.

  1437. Great channel. You should get in touch with Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland. He has done remarkable work on similar topics with regard to Ireland and its ancient past (often a shared past with our Scottish brethren). Great work! 👍
    6
  1438. Yea there's a lot of Ulster-Scots south of the Indiana border in Kentucky. I've been to Eastern Kentucky and some villages had Scottish architecture. And Presbyterian Churches.

  1440. The saami also have a genetic connection w the berber as did the Guanche of the canary islands, who themselves were fair complected and light haired. Makes me think that North Africans looked different then than they do now.
    6
  1441. Could you do video about the Elliot’s and the border reavers
    6
  1442. McIntyre!!!
    6
  1443. Excellent Teaching.
    6
  1444. English isn’t shy about borrowing words, yet few seem to come from the Celtic languages that preceded the Anglo-Saxon invasions. Do you have any insights into why this might be? In Canada, the term “cultural genocide” is used to describe attempts to impose Western values on indigenous peoples. Could something similar have happened in Britain, with the colonists from Northern Europe assimilating the existing population by systematically eradicating their cultures and languages? Celtic words, therefore, were taboo and shunned.
    6
  1445. I speak Stine-Aussie mate:face-green-smiling:

  1446. Thank you for this wonderful video. I would like to see more in Portugal. thank you again.

  1447. Veeery Interesting when considering the role of scythians in the end times...
    6
  1448. Your videos are consistently good. No waffle like much of YouTube.
    6
  1449. Do you know anything on the hillfort in Dumbartonshire, with the name Carman? Do you know if any lines carrying the Carman name? I thought I had once found a Carman castle but it may have been just the ruins of the hillfort. I was only using Google Earth. I know I have a line of family in Ireland, the Mallons. But we are still not sure where exactly the Carman's started. Any knowledge of the hillfort or namesake would be greatly appreciated. My grandmother left us last year, she was the family historian, now it's all left to me, and I cannot read her handwritten notes unfortunately
    6
  1450. It is my understanding that Britain had a strong Neolithic component originating from Anatolia starting around 6000 years ago and ending around 4300 years ago with the arrival of the Beaker people. Genetic studies suggest the Beaker people replaced the Neolithic population of Britain by 90%. Do you know whether any of the distinction between the people of north and south Wales has anything to do with ancient Neolithic and Beaker ancestry?
    6
  1451. East to West vice versa makes sense from early hillfort locations during the iron age!
    6
  1452. Hey my man. Genetic articles released in December 2021 talking about a celtic migration from 1000-875 BC. During the Bronze age
    6
  1453. I'm r1b. Red headed males and females run on both sides of the family. My paternal family comes anciently from the Eure Valley, Normandy,France. And lately from Lincolnshire, England. We ran with the Conqueror.
    6
  1454. I am polish I was surprised to see on my dna results that I was a quarter scandinavian from sweden mainly.
    6
  1455. I am a MacBrayne. This identity was greatly emphasized when I was a child. The name is very uncommon and in some cases the Mac was dropped when people emigrated. The MacBraynes are sometimes considered a very minor sept of MacNaughton but I have more often seen them associated with the MacDonalds. The name appears to have originated on Islay in the late 15th century. This make more sense to me because after my grandparents emigrated to Canada, they retained close ties to the MacDonalds who also came to Vancouver B.C. at the end of the 19th century and my eldest aunt married one. Her husband died when their eldest son was 16. He took it upon himself to help see that his mother and 5 siblings were provided for and assumed a role in the family very like that of a clan chief. His siblings gave him a great deal of respect and it was an interesting dynamic to observe. Visitors to the Hebrides and the Highlands will have seen the name of MacBrayne because, although it is now owned by the Scottish government, the ferry system is still called Caledonian MacBrayne after its founder.
    6
  1456. I’m descended from the Campbell clan and several others. The interesting thing is finding out where many clans originated. The Borthwicks and Drummonds originated in Hungary. many clans originated from the Normans/Vikings. The PICTs/Celts/Gauls etc. The Flemish, French, Germans, Spanish, Dutch…etc….pretty much most of Europe at least. They all integrated into Scottish gene pool at different periods through history.
    6
  1457. Great info, as always! Much thanks. A minor correction, though. Most people outside Canada pronounce the name of the island of Newfoundland incorrectly...it's said more as one word squished together (as often happens with UK placenames). Most Canadians pronounce it something like newfunlund, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
    6
  1458. My DNA is 90% from the British Isles - mostly Ireland and Scotland. The remnant amounts were from Russia, Anatolia, Middle East and Africa. I am only 2% Scandinavian. I have dark hair, eyes and fair olive skin. Everyone thinks it’s Spanish etc. My grandfather had too much iron.
    6
  1459.  @celtichistorydecoded  there are myths in Irish lore about the Tautha de Danu (people of the goddess Danu) invasion, but interestingly the dates for this are somewhere between 1800-1400 BC, and those dates are from more modern antiquarians. My own view is that they were a continuation of the Bell-Beaker people, and the Atlantic trade language that you describe is perfectly reasonable.
    6
  1460. Unlike the BBC said:face-green-smiling:

  1461. Thank you, I enjoyed your video, it was interesting. My Scottish connections are (Campbell: married one), Mowat, Gunn, Bruce, Sinclair. AU.

  1464. Being indo Europeans their ancestors most definitely came or passed thru that region in their past as these people migrated west.
    6
  1465. Look it up AUSTRALIA has the highest percentage of red haired people in the world around 15 plus percent an o type blood grouping too
    6
  1466. Yup, Appa-latcha. That’s the way we pronounce it. Vast majority of us are scotch-Irish, pronounced (scotch-arsh by old timers). The term that’s been used since colonial times. Interestingly enough, on census in the Appalachian regions and the south, most people of scotch-Irish descent mark “American” as their race. Which has lead to a discrepancy in demographics. Demographics in the US would have you believe that there almost no one of English or Scottish descent in the old colonial areas and that Germans were the largest ethnicity. This is an error due to people in the Appalachian region and the American south choosing “American” and having a historical denial of their British isles descent harkening back to the revolution. When the opposite of the census is true. Most are of largely British isle descent. Open a phone book and the names alone will tell the tale.
    6
  1467. My wife and her family are blue eyed american indians, but mated earlier with Germans.

  1469. Tyre was a city of the pheonicans i find it interesting how many places in Scotland that have tyre in their names. tiree, mull of kintyre, blantyre, also Scottish surnames like McIntyre seems there could be a link. Have you read the book : Ireland ur of the chaldees ? very interesting 👍

  1474. I'm a MacLeod decendant. Leod's ancestors was Olaf the Black and his ancestors Godred Crovan King of Isle of Man and Dublin. I believe he also has control of large parts of Northumbria as well. I have often wondered if King Godred was a decendant of Ivar the boneless. I'm also a Macdonald and MacDougall decendant so the same question applies to Somerled their clans progenitors. Somerled was a Norse Gael.
    6
  1475. I think a study of Pictish words in Gàidhlig to see whether any is cognate to any Indo-Iranian would be the next step.

  1476. My maternal grandmother had red hair and blue/grey eyes. My maternal grandfather had black hair and brown eyes. Their children has either black hair or blond hair, and asorted blue/grey or brown eyes. My mom had black hair and brown eyes. My paternal grandmother had brown hair and blue/grey eyes. My paternal grandfater had read hair and blue/grey eyes. Both my dad and his brother had brown hair and blue grey eyes. My oldest sister has ash blond hair and grey eyes. My older sister has light brown hair and blue/grey eyes. I have darkbrown hair and blue/grey eyes. My ex's mom had red hair and blue/grey eyes. All his siblings was different shades of blond with blue/grey eyes. He was blond as a kid, but turn a shade darker every year and ended up with dark brown hair and has blue/grey eyes. My daughter had black hair as a infant, but turn blond within the first year and turned a shade darker every year since and as an adult, she has dark brown hair and blue/grey eyes. My son was born with orangutang colored hair, turned blond within a year, and is still blond, and also has blue/grey eyes.

  1479. This must be where Tolkien got the name "Dunedain". And I just realized where argyle socks come from ;)
    6
  1480. This is the reason I’m American. My family was victim of the clearances in Isle of Skye (Macdonald). They moved to Canada initially in the mid 1800s then eventually to Chicago just south for better work opportunities. Hopefully I can return to the Isle.

  1481. I am from clan MacMillan as well. I live in America near other MacMillans. I would like to come and visit Finlaystone.
    6
  1482. I wonder if the shade of eyes plays a role in distinguishing color subtleties better than others.
    6
  1483. My father's family was from Kiev and we have a viking "look". So I would be very interested in your research on that! Thank you!
    6
  1484. Loathed though I am to vaguely half agree with Roman propaganda I think the Ninth survived but got such a gubbing during Agricola's Invasion of Caledonia that it was pulled back to York and the second Brigantian revolt further thinned them out (Yorkshiremen are revolting). The remnants then being sent to the Rhine frontier to rest and recruit. Once that frontier had been stabalised they were sent to the Middle East where they got a severe case of sunburn and effectively ceased to exist. They were an elite Legion but attrition eventually bled them out. Did you know that much of the Eagle of the Ninth TV series was filmed just north of Fintry because there were a lack of power lines there in the late 70's, including a partial rebuild of a wooden Roman fort.
    6
  1485. I'm just a commoner so my family name means very little
    6
  1486. Part of my family tree is McDonald, who came to America from Ireland in the 1800s. Whether these particular MacDonalds left Scotland during the Clearances or whether they had been in Ireland since the days of the gallowglass, I have no idea. On one hand, I think that's a shame. On the other hand, as with so many of my ancestors, whether compelled to leave by duress or ambition or both, found themselves in a far more enviable situation than what they left.
    6
  1487. How do you find your haplogroups? Can you find out with an Ancestry DNA test?
    6
  1488. very interesting! are scots aware of their clan?
    6
  1489. Good time to do this one mate.Go Conor

  1490. the narrator of this clip What would this germanic inhabitants look like?😅 I will say to him you don't have to go far. Just look in the mirror😊
    6
  1491. Anybody has grey eyes ( any shade) like me? Hi . Hello. Thanks for your info. Gracias!
    6
  1492. What is the story of, The Gallowglass Vikings of West Scottish and Vikings moving to Ireland?
    6
  1493. even weirder. Mine change over time between slate grey, green. blue, and light amber. And no, it isn't clothing or backgrounds.
    6
  1494. Was actually looking for the muppet Beaker, ringing of the bells episode. Love Beaker - but this is good too. Nice to know Beaker has a history.
    6
  1495. As you say the legions and auxiliaries were recruited across the European provinces and many of the troops here in Britain were drafted from Gaul and Central and Eastern Europe. It's also inevitable children would be born to these men. Add to that if the veterans settled with a local wife it was piecemeal as individuals not groups so there would be no genetic markers that would stand out.
    6
  1496. Fascinating and well done as always! A video idea: sorry if you've already covered it or done something similar. I don't think many Europeans have natural black hair? Would be interesting to know about the history and genetics of this. 🙂

    6
  1508. Scutten looks alot like Sgithean(Skye)
    6
  1509. my dna is west scottish so i am a winner
    6
  1510. Very interesting! I have Hazel Eyes and from Australia…my mother is Spanish. Mine are multi coloured green with gold flecks that change colour with the weather.
    6
  1511. After re-watching the movie, I see moments where Siobhan is beckoned to join Mrs McCormick, watching death come in its inevitability. Like she would join the ranks of silent banshees. Makes me think of a subplot where the boys get to mutilate their selves as wise women are restricted to observe. Gender view that might not really apply maybe. Siobhan is so sweet yet firm. I love how she doesn't mind Jenny as she opens her letter job letter near the fire. All women are banshees beside the men. Super sad but true. Our sisters see what we do.
    6
  1512. I love these videos, I always learn something new. Thankyou Steven coch. James ‘The Black’ Douglas is my 24th Great Grand Uncle, he was the first noble supporter of William Wallace, and yes, I’m so incredibly proud of my Scottish ancestors 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
    6
  1513. Red hair and hazel brown orange eyes. I have a very high pain tolerance. It takes more anesthesia for me. My mom, dad, and brother all have dark hair and tan. I must be a throwback from past generations. I always say hell hath no fury like a pissed off redhead.
    6
  1514. Red (auburn) hair, blue/gray eyes, super pale skin with pink undertones. Scottish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Basque, Italian & German ancestry. High tolerance to anesthesia & pain killers. Never lost a single fight in my life.
    6
  1515. Blonde hair and blue eyes are beautiful features but I love bright red hair green eyes with freckles the most.
    6
  1516. We all mixed massively in the industrial revolution with the explosion in urban populations.
    6
  1517. My mother in law was a direct descendant of the battle axe culture.
    6
  1518. I'm beginning to understand where my red hair and big, long nose originated from 😂
    6
  1519. very good, enjoyed, my grandfather Stuart told me about this and much of history of Scots when I was a youngster
    6
  1520. One blue eye & one green ! Ancestry from Cornwall UK & Germany
    6
  1521. its funny, if nova scotia is new scotland, then newfoundland should be new ireland, no? 😂😂😂😂
    6
  1522. Cool video Steven 😊 even though I have no links whatsoever to Ireland and am holding an ancestral grudge since the medieval days Lol
    6
  1523. Timely topic! This helps with my DNA backstory research- I'm 45% Celtic (Irish & Scottish), 42% Scandinavian and 13% Basque ( just found out that men are Indo-European- Goth- Swedish & women are Celtic ) U5 haplogroup). This video presented some historical context for Celtic/Scandinavian gene intermingling. Thanks!
    6
  1524. I belong to Y haplogroup I-FTC47091, whose paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor I-Y33756 and the rest of mankind around 1600 BCE. Which in turn branched off from I-M223. My maternal haplogroup is T2b35.
    6
  1525. The actress Pheobe Tonkin has amazing hazel eyes!!!
    6
  1526. Great vid. Like the important mention you put on the differing ethnicities and language groups that began to fuse together. Nice use of the Isle of Skye stock footage too.
    6
  1527. My grandmother was a Stewart, and my great-great-grandmother was an Armstrong. That's all the Scottish ancestry I know I have.
    6
  1528. Why did green eyes develop?
    6
  1529. I'm a Porteous not a clan but armigerous family. vassals of clan Fraser. originally form Normandy
    6
  1530. Clan Stewart on my Dad’s side. Who interestingly go back to Dol-de-Bretagne, Ille-et-Vilaine, France in 1005.
    6
  1531. Clan Johnstone from Aberdeenshire. Love your vids :)
    6
  1532. The POBI project was very useful but it has largely been superseded by ancient DNA findings made in the last few years. Therefore the only major point of difference I would make is about the Welsh .They definitely don't resemble ancient British hunter gatherers genetically more than any other Brit. That was speculation on the part of the POBI , before we fully understood the enormous genetic impact farmers and then steppe folk had on the Isles. They , like other Britons , are a mix of hunter gatherer , neolithic farmer and steppe people. They are much like the Irish and Scots in that they more closely resemble British Bronze and Iron Age people than the English who have a lot more Germanic ancestry, although the amount varies across regions .As for the Celts , well that seems to be more of an elite migration . I would definitely urge you to check out the new paper on Anglo-Saxon DNA and migration which is very interesting.
    6
  1533. As someone with no celtic heritage, these videos are really enlightening!
    6
  1534. R-M269 and H23. Juss a lil bell beaker baby over hear 🥺
    6
  1535. We took all the beautifull women with straight teeth from England and Irealand. 😂😂
    6
  1536. Down South we call everyone and everything above the river Hollanders
    6
  1537. This was only Saxon propaganda to imply the Picts were not indigenous.The Picts,like the Cymru had an aural tradition whereby everything was learnt in rhyme and so didn’t need writing down.It was only Hadrian’s wall that divided and separated the cultures between the free and the enslaved and so likely their language was a P Celtic Old Welsh.The Scythians you mention could be the Gododdin, who are immortalised in Welsh poetry.They were used as a buffer zone against the Picts and could have well been originally from anywhere in the Empire.Strathclyde was also Brythonic and many Pictish kings were chosen from here.So Scotland isn’t made up of two cultures,but three🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍
    6
  1538. I dig your style. The findings you talk about in this vid agree with my anecdotal evidence. Mine are green, my bf’s are almost black. He needs much more light to get around the house, often complaining about curtains being drawn. He’s 10 yrs older, that may account for something. Ty for your content, love your accent. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
    6
  1539. I’m interested in the Coulthart surname. Thank you for efforts. My ancestors dna test says I’m 63% Scottish. 😮
    6
  1540. Do you know how many people are descendants of the Yamnaya?
    6
  1541. Awesome ! Thanks for incorporating my surname ! 😁 Nixon was the maiden name of my grandpa Gibson's grandma. I've read it was a name associated with the border reivers also.
    6
  1542. Im sardinian too from 3/4 and tuscan for 1/4, thanks for even talking about this topic ❤💙
    6
  1543. Those Campbell's again!
    6
  1544. Intersting info, thank you! I'm 97% swedish and 3% finnish with a large percent with Neanderthal DNA.
    6
  1545. R1B U106 is a subset of R-M269. I’m a subset of, within R-BY93784. While U106 often referred to as the ‘Germanic’, my understanding os R-BY93784 originated just before the changeover from BC to AD, and all known members are from the British Isles (within England, Scotland, or the surrounding islands); Hatherdene 9 lived in Cambridgeshire circa 500 AD, and is estimated to have branched off circa 500 BC. It seems as though my paternal line was in Britain prior to the Roman arrival.
    6
  1546. Amazing and interesting video man and editing was amazing!
    6
  1547. great video, ive read in other references that the picts came from the land scythia(black sea). Some parallels have been established between their zoomorphic art as well as the art of the black sea scythians
    6
  1548. I have bell beaker phenotype rb1 l21 plus I have Norwegian and Finnish kven finn I love your videos and the science behind that plus you tell it like it is cheers and thank you

  1550. The word ✍️📜"Beira": is a Irish 🇮🇪word,and is also a Portuguese 🇵🇹word. 📝🫂✨👍🌷🪻
    6
  1551. I am enjoying the videos even though I disagree with the term Celtic to describe the early Britons have you check out Britainshiddehistory Ross YouTube channel as your both in the same book maybe not the same page if that makes sense
    6
  1552. because the scottish people have class they know a great place to live, where they will live in peace and harmony, and enjoy their new world highlands.
    6
  1553. Interesting video on the genetics. It was right up my allele 😉
    6
  1554. I am a Fraser. We were always told our family came on the ship Hector to Pictou, NS, Canada after we were kicked off our lands in Scotland. It is a little unsure exactly where we came from, but mostly we were told we came over from the Glasgow area but originally were Hebrides. Our people came and were without much to come to in November in very cold and uncleared lands. They hardly survived that first winter except that the MigMaw local First Nations helped the families survive enough to get through until they could clear the land enough to grow some food and build proper housing to survive the harsher winters.
    6
  1555. There is a lot of truth in this, the Tartars who came from Tartaria which is known today as Mongolia, travelled across Europe and settled for a time in Scotland. They clothed themselves in Tartan which is obviously derived from their origins and as we know today everyone thinks tartan is Scottish, it's not it's Tartarian.
    6
  1556.  @celtichistorydecoded  my Silures branch went on to become the Princes of Powys, Wales.
    6
  1557. Great video. The way I read this, GB was one united island, living with many things in common, until those Saxons and Romans came over. So, Irish, Welsh and Scottish, remember this. We were heavily invaded too 😂
    6
  1558. Bruh I love your accent. And Scotland is my favorite place on the planet.
    6
  1559. My family has many different ethnic backgrounds in it, but we have the most tracing back to Faroe Islands & still have family living in Denmark even today.
    6
  1560. I have the name Greig on my Nan's side, her Mother maiden name. I know that they were a sept of the MacGregors would be nice to know a bit about the connection..
    6
  1561. I’ve got green eyes and my ancestry is Scandinavian and Europe
    6
  1562.  @celtichistorydecoded  we can infer from this that Isaac was named after the sky. His tribe, The Sons of Isaac, or Saxons, were the people of the sky. Any of this sounding familiar? I'm thinking the etymology has deep proto-IndoEuropean roots.
    6
  1563. I love the Welsh Viking!!!
    6
  1564. My father is Portuguese, my mother has spanish, canary island and mestizo and mulatto ancestry from Mexico distantly. The irish and British genes took over on my mothers side.
    6
  1565. Clan McLeod and Clan Lamont. I’ve never been to Scotland but I’m 85% Scots, 10% German and 5% Swede and 100% Australian
    6
  1566. What is exactly is "viking dna" ? Since Vikings were just groups of raiders came from all over europe
    6
  1567. I am a native swede my DNA is mostly Swedish i took a dna test. Scandinavian 67.6% Eastern Sweden Sweden (Gävleborg) Southern Sweden Balt 13% Irish, Scots and Welsh 6.4% fiinland % 6,5 Eastern European 6.3%
    6
  1568. My eyes are dark grey and I hated it growing up I used to say they was blue because I thought grey eyes was awful. But now I love that I have grey eyes.
    6
  1569. I am 76% Welsh and 24% English. I cheer for both teams in soccer and rugby.
    6
  1570. I always think Adams is much more interesting, but I may be biased. Who knows? One of my ancestors, great grandfather x 4, was one of the first Irish Quakers in Pennsylvania, he went with his son just. However they clearly didn't enjoy that lifestyle as they returned to Antrim less than two years later.
    6
  1571. Came for genetics, stayed for Scottish accent
    6
  1572. Extremely interesting. My Son is an Odinist. I will forward him this. He has 7 Children and they just celebrated the Winter Soltice with two huge legs of lamb roasted over the top of vegetables. 11 of us shared in that feast. They are all Odinists, but he would never deny them Christmas. They are all excited tonight, Christmas eve. Hes taught them the origins of Christmas. This video will be a great addition to that knowledge. Thanks. Merry Christmas /Yule. 🎄
    6
  1573. I hear he`s popular in Ireland🤣
    6
  1574. the main reason why blue eyes spread was because people saw them as attractive so people with blue eyes had a higher chance of attracting mates.
    6
  1575. I was born platinum blonde, and now my hair is dark blonde
    6
  1576. Definitely a real place. But a Global Empire with the Azores as it's major/Capital place is most likely. Many cities were sunk around the same time globally and in all probability belonged to the Atlantis Empire
    6
  1577. I think it was what is now the Atlantic ridge. An earthquake there, is easy to believe and anything there would have vanished. Solon was at the temple of Horus at Edfu, which is where the glyphs that look like a chopper and speedboat are.
    6
  1578. Did other Roman legions 'disappear' in other parts of the Roman empire or conflict zones? What I am getting at was the disbanding of a legion or other army unit subject to some sort of procedure or documentation?  I know about the two legions that were wiped out in Tueteborg (spelling?) forest. Building Hadrian's wall round about the same time suggests the Romans did not take the Caledonian/Brigantes threat lightly.
    6
  1579. My ancestors were in Argyll. Did a DNA test a couple years ago and was very impressed.
    6
  1580. I got into an online disagreement with someone because I said that the Celts were the indigenous people of Britain. He insisted that the Britons were the indigenous people so I said they were the same thing. I was happy to find this video where you use the words interchangeably. Thanks.
    6
  1581. Although very English I can claim a tiny connection to Murray of Athol. Oddly my son ended up wearing the tartan for his marriage to a Scottish lassie.
    6
  1582. My great grandparents came from Peterheed and were part of the Gordon clan. They emigrated to New York then Canada in the late 20s and early 30s.
    6
  1583. hi - new subscriber question - Were not the Picts and Britons the same genetically, culturally?
    6
  1584. Even i have a little ranga in me
    6
  1585. I’m genetically 36% English (and Northwestern European), 34% Scottish, 19% Irish and 11% Welsh. 🇬🇧
    6
  1586. My mother in law is a Stewart, her direct ancestor passed down through Ireland and then came to the US however.
    6
  1587. My two siblings and I have hazel eyes. My mom had brown eyes, dad had hazel. My grandmother and her sisters told me I have the same eyes as my great grandmother on my dad's side of the family. They were of German/Polish descent.
    6
  1588. Blue eyes could be considered a hybred situation like we have with Dog breeds, like comparing a Golden Labradore verse Timber Wolve.
    6
  1589. My hazel eyes are just greyish with an amber ring/starburst around the pupil. Where those optically mix, they can look olive green. I think lighting can be a determining factor on how eye color looks. Even with brown eyes there are differing shades. Some are so dark as to appear black with no visible pupil. Some browns look very orange in comparison. So there are differences even among brown, blue or green eye colors which can be darker, lighter or brighter depending on the individual. Hazel can be any eye color that contains 2 or more colors :)
    6
  1590. I find this series great! while looking at my 3% Wales DNA and 1% Baltics. Because, most of my DNA come from southern Africa.
    6
  1591. I have hazel eyes encircled by green. Inherited from my mother who was born in Bosnia. She had gold ab d green flecks in her eyes.
    6
  1592. Ouch! Bread-alban NOT Bread al-bane. Also Campbells were widespread in Ayrshire and down to Galloway. Quibbles aside, excellent channel!
    6
  1593. This is very interesting. Thank you for creating this video. My husband did a ancestry DNA test eight years ago. And what it showed is Norway. (47%.) England, (46%) and Sweden (7%). We know that England came from his mother, but we’ve never been able to find out where the Norway came from as his father was also from England. We never could figure out where the Norwegian and Swedish came from. Quite a few people matched him all with Norwegian DNA. Those that matched were second cousins. As for his eyecolor, they were a light brown, and his hair was light brown. Our son definitely inherited his Norwegian DNA. Our son is extremely tall, and has Hazel Green eyes and light brown hair. ✌🏻💖🌺 😊😊

  1594. Van Gogh rhymes with loch 😁
    6
  1595. Yeh, you're Scottish! I can tell! 🤔🤣🥰🤗💖 Hello from Southern Québec, Canada! 🇨🇦
    6
  1596. This was an interesting discussion. Just a thought. Evolution sometimes evolves redundancies within the system. Lose blood flow to a tissue and the body will try to grow new ones to perfuse it. And we're not even very good at it. Sharks will grow whole new sets of teeth. Some lizards can regrow tails, and some of this happens at the physiological level as well. So it would stand to reason that there might be epigenetic factors like the equatorial sunlight you mentioned that may trigger an alternative pathway to express melanin in a person who otherwise lacks the main genes to control it. If it's epigenetic like this, it would depend on a second set of genes which control that alternate pathway AND their exposure to the controlling stimulus in order to be expressed. Anyway, that's what I suspect is going on. No studies or anything to back it up. But given the map you showed that looks so close to the regions in which Phoenician/Canaanite peoples originally inhabited, but who were replaced by Arabs with the initial expansion of Islam, we have a very unique population in which we would see people who lack the primary gene for melanin in the iris, but who might have that secondary pathway, and also live in the sun-baked equatorial region which would command expression of that second pathway. Thanks for the intriguing information and discussion, CHD!
    6
  1597. Yeah - but it may have been from the "Irish" where I think in New York there were lots of Irish from Dublin which was a Viking Port
    6
  1598. The first clan in my family line to come to America was a Mckenzie. (McKenney)An indentured servant, he served his time in Maine. Went on to have a family and his own home.
    6
  1599. Surprisingly well researched vid.
    6
  1600. Mine are Hazel predominantly green have around 63% Scots DNA and 17% Irish the rest Northern European
    6
  1601. Very good video, well explained i enjoyed it.
    6
  1602. Love these videos. Please keep em up!
    6
  1603. Thanks that's fascinating! 👍
    6
  1604. Celt is suggested by fortress of lugh youtube channel, that the word Celt means from Kelatos the good warrior or striker. Denoting a profession by speakers of the Hallstatt and La Tene culture we now call the Celts. Which is what I personally support
    6
  1605. I am Scottish with a dash of Irish and Welsh blood, Mum's eyes were Green as are mine and Dad's were Dark brown. Mum's hair was red and Dad's and mine was black. G'day from Australia.
    6
  1606. I HAVE A PARTICULAR QUESTION, what year did the picts arrive in Ireland?
    6
  1607. I've been doing a bit of research on the Beaker folk recently, so thank you for this video. I'm American, but my ancestry is almost entirely British, with a bit of German on my maternal Grandmother's side. It's been an incredibly interesting journey tracing the history back to the Steppe people. Keep up the good work!
    6
  1608. I came for the content... but stayed for the accent 🤣🤣🤣
    6
  1609. Ahh Stirling, the location of a terribly famous battle ... and a famously terrible football team.
    6
  1610. Green eyes gang here 👌
    6
  1611. Very interesting, but what always puzzles me is how different the Goidelic and Brythonic languages are. Hard to see how for example, the Welsh and Irish can have the same origins. Maybe genetics can help or can origins be traced back using the languages?
    6
  1612. A very mysterious and wonderful combination; hope it keeps going strong! 💪 🧡💙
    6
  1613. Germanic soldiers are known to be posted by the Roman army out by Hadrians wall, so maybe they already knew from experience in Roman times not to mess about with the Picts. Also without Roman influence, they would have been pretty similar anyway. The many invasions by Pagan Barbarians in the north were essentially anti-crusades against Roman Christian influence, which evidently was prevelant in the Southern Britons.
    6
  1614. The Thracians were also known for red hair.
    6
  1615. Albanwyr in Welsh mean Scots which means the land of the albinos. Shocking white skin and white grey eyes.
    6
  1616. There's also a big Scottish diaspora in Eastern Europe, in Russia they number a few millions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Russians#:~:text=Scottish%20Russians%20are%20Russians%20with,War%20(1618%E2%80%931648).

  1617. Shout out to the My Heritage update. Far more accurate than it ever was.
    6
  1618. That accent, dude....awesome!✌
    6
  1619. The Etruscans were the original romans. They had the highest amount of neanderthal DNA in the studies 😮
    6
  1620. Excellent work I really enjoy them! Do you produce any english language content? 😂 Joking bro. Great work as always
    6
  1621. I was golden blonde and bright green eyes. Two daughters have green eyes; my so has the even rarer combo of ginger hair and blue eyes and my other daughter green hazel eyes that go very green or cinnamon depending on what colour he wears. When she is angry her eyes get very dark. My kids are of Scots, English and Polish on their Father's side and Frisian/German and danish on my side. The eldest and youngest we call the two Celts and the middle ones the Saxons!
    6
  1622. interesting take on it.
    6
  1623. Scotland shall be free so long as there's a Scot who's hart still beats free.
    6
  1624. My husband is very southern Italian with brown haired dark eyed patents He had blond hair blue eyes and a red beard. His maternal grandfather also had a red beard.
    6
  1625. Basically the same story I’d have thought! Same waves of migration from Beaker people onwards, same group of Celtic Ancient Britons when the Romans came, maybe a bit less Anglo-Saxon DNA but loads of intermingling with the rest of England down the ages!
    6
  1626. The only thing I can say is how is it possible that a channel with so many treasures of historical knowledge hasn't reached at least 100 thousand subscribers?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

  1627. Wierd question here. I have hazel, my husband has blue. I am sensitive to light and can see in very low dim light, he cannot. He turns lights on 1st thing upon waking and I have to shield my eyes. Does this have anything to do with eye color or is it just me?
    6
  1628. The bearer of my family's surname falls under Clan Donald. He landed in Philadelphia in 1756. My mother's maiden name falls under MacGregor. I hope to one day visit Scotland before I get too old. 🤣 Thanks for this channel.

  1629. I'm English, traced my family back to a small village in Kent to 1600, were they stayed until my grandparents, in 1600 family split half went ot America and halt stayed in Kent, prior to that we believe originally from Scotland due to the family name

  1630. I am British. I did the DNA testing through ancestry DNA. I don’t have one percent of British in me. I am more German Russian and Swedish.
    6
  1631. Kinda interesting because it makes it more clear why I see better with less light 😅

  1632. Great video. Keep up the good work!

  1633. The nature of the Scottish terrain was simply not intended to become Roman.
    6
  1634. Didn’t the afanasievo culture contributed to the genetic composition of the proto Scythians in the Altai Sayan region?
    6
  1635. You can feel your passion running through this one. I'd push the anti-Gaelic culture element even further back in history. All the Stewart kings were consistently paranoid about their northern 'subjects'; in fact probably all Scottish kings, post Macbeth, were intent on weakening Gaelic culture in Scotland. Of course as soon as the Crown went south it became worse as the ability of Scotland to influence any decisions made in London effectively disappeared ... to this day. I think its important to mention here that the Highland Clearances were not a unique or even a new concept. The same thing had happened in England/Wales since the C16th with the Agricultural Revolution/s and Enclosure Acts that denied common property rights to land and forced migration to towns, cities and the colonies. I don't think greed is cultural, racist or religionist. Its just the acquisition of as much wealth/power into as few hands as possible.
    6
  1636. The Udmurt's are quite fascinating to me, possibly a remnant characteristic of slaves takes from Scotland or Ireland. and left in this area. Or were they the origin of Red Hair? That's quite a good question I surprised myself.
    6
  1637. Another question would be, how come there is no DNA link between the Udmurt people and Ireland & Scotland? Despite all three having larger red haired groups?

  1640. I am a green-eyed, very freckled redhead. I am Irish and German on my dad's side, but I have, surprisingly, my Italian mother's coloring (except she didn't have freckles). Her father, grandfather, and many relatives many generations back, all pure Italian both maternal and paternal, were all redheads. And this is southern Italian -- Naples and Salerno -- not northern Italy, where I understand people are fairer in coloring. I'm guessing it is somehow due to a Viking/Norman ancestor? (BTW, no redheads on my dad's side of the families -- all blue-eyed and with either blonde or light brown hair, which is what my siblings had.) I've been researching this for a couple of years but would welcome ideas from my brother and sister redheads. Redheads rule!
    6
  1641. Holy cow, you have THE MOST AMAZING accent!!!! ❤Absolutely love it!!! Yip Red hair, Blue eyes & freckles (my Dad & a few of his siblings have red hair, blue eyes & freckles) - nightmare growing up. Always in trouble at school. I always felt 'ugly', different, wild ... and then I grew up and embraced been unique! AND realised hey "Redheads ARE beautiful. We Rock (well except when we're sun-burnt & full of blisters)!' Greetings from sunny South Africa!

  1642. Can I ask a question, If you don't want to answer it's fine as it's slightly political, in certain circles in the UK there's beginning to be a push to eliminate the word 'Anglo-saxon' as it's said it's not actually a distinct culture. What's your opinion on this? Personally I think it's important that our history is told regardless of opinion.

  1643. German and blonde hair 😅😅😅

  1649. For an entire legion to be wiped out you need a large force. im guessing either the brigantes in northern England rebelled,the legion marched out of York to meet them but was met by not only the brigantes but also Caledonians that had marched south from what is now Scotland and were subsequently annihilated somewhere in northern England. Or the legion was sent north into modern day Scotland to put down the Caledonians,lost in battle,tried to withdraw but their remnants were cut down by the Caledonians and brigantes en route back to York. Could be completely wrong but just a thought

  1650. How do the people living in the highlands today feel about the clearances? Were the clearances so successful that there is no memory or no people to remember the clearances?

  1652. I'm Slavic with light blue-green eyes, a dark green outline. Naturally darker blonde hair, too 🤍

  1653. I am South American, but most people here can digest milk, I guess only natives of pure ancestry have serious problems tolerating it. According to studies, only East Asians and Native Americans are almost completely intolerant, South Asians, Middle Easterners and Africans have tolerance although at lower frequencies than Europeans.

  1655. I love your work and really respect the effort and passion you have for the subject. One thing I would suggest after watching many similar YouTube historians is that getting the pronunciations right goes along way towards giving the work a more professional tone.i really hope that doesn't sound patronising and all I hope is that your channel goes from strength to strength.

  1656. I'm American with Scot/Irish ancestors and my father's family, and me, all have very pale grey eyes which my son also inherited. Yeah bright light is a problem
    6
  1657. Imy MTR DNA is U4a1b1a. I’m sad that I’m the last of my line. I had 4 sons. No daughter to carry forward my ancient genes. Thanks for the video. It was very interesting. 😎💫

  1660. That the Sami are a mixed people consisting of both Scandinavian hunter gatherers and immigrants from Asia/Urals is confirmed by archaeological and linguistic research, and does not contradict genetic research. There is continuity in archaeological finds, from the oldest finds (around 10,000 years old) in the north to today's Sami culture. Sami language consists of a large proportion of unknown origin. Linguists believe these are remnants of languages ​​spoken in the Paleo-European area. Remnants of this/these (?) languages ​​also exist in Norwegian (I assume they also exist in Swedish). Historian and gene researcher Sturla Ellingvåg, who has the YT channel "Viking Stories", has a well-founded theory he calls the "bottleneck" about Scandinavian genetics. Recommended to anyone who might be interested in the connection Scandinavian/Germanic.

  1661. It was flaming red as an infant, child and early teen; but, by the time I as 30 it had faded a good bit to strawberry blond. I am 72% English, 16% Scot and the rest is Northern Europe (probably German).

  1667. I have green/hazel eyes with central heterchromia. My father had blue, mother had brown. My wife has grey eyes, our son brown, and daughter blue/silver eyes. Half Swedish and British mix. I was pale, freckled, and auburn haired when younger and my son is nearly identical except for having darker eyes.
    6
  1668. I belong to clan McLaren and my YDNA signature is I1-M253-S12289. This is uncommon for my clan which I expect will indeed be predominately R1b-L21, as is the case WRT the clan's chief.
    6
  1669. Oh this just gave me an idea for one of those question/poll things YouTubers are doing, you could make one asking something like “if you lived in Celtic Britain what tribe would you be” or something lol just abit of fun, I just realised from where I live I would be brigantes

  1670. Green eyed lady here - can confirm four living generations in a straight matrilineal line from my Nana down to my daughter (H6a1b2) have them. They are my favorite physical attribute ❤ I’m an American, but my autosomal DNA is entirely Northern European. Mostly Irish but also Scots and English. My Nana’s matrilineal line goes back to Blackburn, England but possibly Ireland prior to that. My maternal haplogroup was found in a sample among an Yamnayan burial site, which is so interesting to me. Thank you for making this video, I learned a few new things!

  1673. I once knew a half northern Italian and half Swiss girl. 4 feet 11 inches of pure uncompromising attitude. A real 'Boudicca'. I nearly got into a fight with the 80's band 'The Christians' because they pushed in front of her in a chip shop cue late at night .... big mistake ... they apologised.

  1675. My husband is a Maclean, his descendants come from Mull. His family came to Canada in the 1800's.
    6
  1676. Thanks!! I see a lot of diverse comments about the size of Vikings. Yes. There were tall Vikings and short Vikings no different than the population of today. I have some Nordic ancestry(Swedish/Danish/German) and I’m 5’8” with an odd blend of brown, blond and red hair
    6
  1677. My DNA is 80.1% English , 14.3% Scandinavian, 5.6% West Asian.
    6
  1678. Thank-you for this program! I am from America and I have hazel eyes, but I never liked the color. I always thought of them as being indecisive; they couldn't decide what color to be! 😊 Whatever color clothes I wore, changed the perception of my eye color. This program helped me appreciate there is beauty in the hazel color.

  1679. Tacitus described the Silures tribe of South Wales as being distinctly different from the rest of the British tribes. He said their dark skin and dark curly hair was testament to previous migration from Iberia.
    6
  1680. I have black hair tan complexion & light green eyes with yellow starburst surrounding my pupils. Green eyes were said to be the mark of Faoladh( Irish Werewolf ) or other creatures from the Fae.
    6
  1681. Theres a lot of place names around Edinburgh that originate from Brythonic. Another is Penicuik ( from Pen Y Cog ) a little town on the outskirts. I m told it means the hill of the cuckoo, and is almost the same in Welsh.
    6
  1682. It's Scottish. 🧐🤪😁👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☑️

  1683. My father's mother (Jane Rankin Rennick) was born in Broomhouse (which is now a part of Glasgow) in 1902 The Scottish surnames that I have found are Stewart, Paterson, Aitchison, Rankin, Thomson, Fife, Brown, Black, Millar, and Walker. The areas that her branches are from are Lanarkshire, Clackmannanshire, and Ayrshire. Although her mother (Agnes Aitchison) was born at Burns of Carnock in the parish of Carnock, Fifeshire, her father (James Thomson Aitchison) came from Coatbridge, Lanarkshire to Dollar, Clackmannanshire, where he married Jane Rankin, then they moved to Carnock, Fifeshire, then moved back to Coatbridge. where the youngest two children were born.
    6
  1684. Very interesting - particularly the last piece on haplogroups. It is clear to me that those places in which I find myself so "at home" are quite literally in my blood...
    6
  1685. Bruh, 90% of the Europe's population are Bell-Beakers. But I can agree that land which now inhabited by Celts have the most BB influence.
    6
  1686. Spaniard with hazel green eyes over here. I read somewhere years ago that hazel means an indication that you're a blue eye's genes carrier. My siblings have blue, grey and brown eyes. Parents had blue/hazel and grandparents had grey/brown/hazel and blue. My (for now) only child is hazel but tending to hazel brown for now (mother has a reddish brown hue). As an interesnting note, my hue went greener as i grew up into adulthood. BTW i think that the Indian study that you mention is BS, as it seems to conclude that only environment and not genetics is responsible for eye colour, as a sort of "magic soil" (or climate, in this case) theory.
    6
  1687. I'm a descendant of the McEvers (American spelling) or McIver (Scottish spelling). As I understand it, this clan sprang from a Viking named Ivar, and the McIvers were essentially cousins of the Campbells. My immigrant ancestor was Andrew C. McIver, born in Argyll in 1716. And unlike some people claim, McIvers did have their own chieftains. We will never forget.
    6
  1688. I have hazel eyes but my birth certificate says brown. Teal blue brings out the amber in them and it’s beautiful. Mine are brown in the center, yellowish amber mostly with a green outline. My mothers were hazel. Very green with gold. They almost looked like stripes. Beautiful.

  1689. He is Scottish!

  1690. My surname is Colquhoun, and I'm learning more about it's history, including this particular battle. Its a really good summary, the only thing I'd say is that Colquhoun is pronounced Ku'hoon, the l is silent, as is the qu lol

  1693. Great stuff!

  1694. Yeah, yeah, yeah ..... the Romans won a glorious victory (so says the General's son-in-law) and then like all victorious armies chose to retreat. Would still like to see a statue of Calgacus outside the Scottish Parliament one day though, just to remind others that Empires have their twilight. Celtica gu Brath !
    5
  1695. Sycamore Gap. Remember learning about Roman soldiers at school but so much slant on what was told. The time frame of the build and the amount of labour it must have taken them is bonkers. It is so wild out there can't imagine what a Roman soldier far away from family must have thought living and working out there. Bleak is an understatement. Thank you so much for all your research and presentation. The Roman Empire and collapse of it always intrigued me as a child. Those traps were something else!. Blessings and thanks to the tribes of the Caledonians, Maeatae and the Damnonii. i will check out your Maeatae video and relisten to this presentation. Finding out about some of my ancestral line and what they endured and defended is like a missing link for me. Yourself and Bruce Fummey research and presentation I really resonate with. Thank you so much.

  1700. I'm from Liverpool and supposed to be English. My ancestors came out from Ireland in the 1800's and I assumed I would have some English dna but results came zero English but nearly all Irish with some Welsh.
    5
  1701. According to my DNA test I am about 75% native Dutch and about 18% Scandinavian. Yet, I have no direct Scandinavian relatives up to 6 generations in the past on either side. The only plausible explanation that I have is that either DNA technology is not able to distinguish between Frisian and Scandinavian DNA, or there is little difference in DNA between those regions.
    5
  1702. Cheers thanks for the video

  1703. Here's one you can have for nothing ... the areas of the world with the greatest resources (oil/coal/food etc) have the greatest variation in eye colour over time.
    5
  1704. A slight Christianisation of an old story to be sure. Although it is reminiscent of the actual Indo European migration. Scythian was used as a catch-all term for nomadic cultures which the Scots certainly came from when you look back far enough.

  1709. The books are great. BBC and Netflix just kept making it more woke and side lined what the fans wanted for uninteresting moments. The books tell you from the start the cattle raids between the Saxons and Scots. The old Britons in Strat and so on. In the books you also explore Cornwall and Wales too.

  1710. My dad is 50/50 Frisian/ Hungarian, my mother is 100% Czech... everyone in my family has blue eyes, except my mom and brother, they have bright green..

  1711. Interesting information Ste, which I did not know about. Congratulations on your store, I hope you sell lots 😊
    5
  1712. My mother had jade green eyes. Shes 100% Danish. My dad had clear sky blue eyes—he’s half Russian Jew, 1/4 Bavarian German, 1/4 Scottish/irish/english. Their eyes never changed color. Mine are a combo of amber/green/blue (inner to outer) and the proportions change according to the light. But by now, in my 60s, they’ve turned most grey, except on sunny days or by the ocean.

  1716. I think the bell beaker culture is very interesting unfortunately there is relatively little information publicly available about them.
    5
  1717. I did some of those dna tests and my paternal haplohroup came back RL-121/R-DF 13 branch. And it claimed most prevalence Ireland, Scotland, wales. I’m American with roots going back to colonial times. People in my region claim Scots-Irish descent. I guess that’s the name they give for people coming from that Northern Ireland plantation area. Pretty interesting stuff!
    5
  1718. My 4 grandparent eyes were blue, my 2 parents eyes are green and mine are darker brown and each generation was born further north than the previous one. I think genetic is a little more complicated than that.
    5
  1719. I'm Canadian. My maternal grandfather was a Craig and his parents came from Blair Atholl. There as a story passed down through the generations that we were somehow related to Charles Gordon (Chinese Gordon). I don't know much about the family at all but a DNA test confirmed that Scotland is in my blood.
    5
  1720. Tack så mycket!
    5
  1721. The role played by Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow, William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews and David de Moravia, Bishop of Moray is crucial also. Whilst they were fighting to preserve the autonomy of Scottish Churches (who were threatened with coming under the Archdiocese of York) the wars of independance would probably not have happened without them and the political dimension kept the threat of French invasion and Papal forgiveness (post the Bruce's excommunication) in play for Scotland. Not as glorious as battles but a story worth telling.
    5
  1722. The Templars were all over these isles especially in the area of Knaresborough / Wetherby. There is a relief sculpture of a Templar outside the entrance to a cave chapel in Knaresborough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel_of_Our_Lady_of_the_Crag ; it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they supported the battle.

  1723. I always believed the Scandinavians were leaving to raise cows, and sheep. I think they farmed animals like herders and stuff. I believe they were livestock farmers Not Crop farmers.

  1725. Lost my Ma last year ,made me want to find out more,joined Ancestry recently. 72% English.. I Traced my father's paternal line from London back 5 gens to late 1700s to the Romney Marsh .all farm workers Mum's paternal line from London back to her Grandparents in Stroud,Gloucestershire to 4 generations around Cricklade Wiltshire to early 1800s 14% Irish (Cork,Kerry) Maternal Grandma 14% Iberian This one surprised me,! No known Spaniards or Portuguese in the family but apparently could be connected to Spanish Armada ships ending up in Ireland or also a more ancient migration. Is fascinating what you can find,and reading the Cencuses of your forebears! Now need to visit some of the places to see if I can find some gravestones!

  1726. This is interesting and enlightening. My paternal line is Welsh, great info for the fam.

  1728. It's never simple. I am definitely NOT a morning person, but my father had and I have Dupuytren's contracture, mine being mild. AFAIK I am of mostly Northern British descent.

  1733. Now you really have opened a whole can of worms. This Agriculturalist/Pastoralist origin of (Proto) Indo-European has been a big bone of contention for philologists for decades and oddly enough the DNA evidence is still patchy enough to not give a definitive answer to which group had the greatest westward influence of genetics, culture and language. You did refer to something in passing that does absolutely fascinate me. The vast genetic replacement of over 90% of the, probably very sparse, population of Western Hunter Gathers by the incoming Indo-Europeanish peoples. Evidenced by other large scale population replacements, North and South America for example, are we actually looking at the most successful genocide in European pre-history or the introduction of a virus that only affected the WHG population. Simple removal of the WHG males from the gene pool wouldn't give such an overwhelming result. In the Orkney and Shetland Isles the matriarchal Celtic gene is still strong there. The Celtic woman were not removed from the gene pool, just the men. We basically have just as much Neanderthal DNA in us as WHG. What happened to them, as far as I know nobody is doing any academic research on this ???

  1734. "We" captured the Eagle Standard😉 MULLACH A-BU!!!

  1735. I reckon its because the Romans didnt fully conquer Caledonia. The Roman thoughts of invading Ireland came from when they stood in South Western Caledonia, looking west across the narrowest point in the sea towards Ireland. Furthermore however, the Roman Empire wasnt necessarily a European one. It was an Empire based on both sides of the Mediterranean, with the Italian Peninsula in the centre. Just look at a map of the Roman Empire at its largest extent. Venturing into the Island of Britain was actually an anomaly for the Romans. Venturing further west to Ireland wouldve been even more of an anomaly, from their Mediterranean heartland.

  1740. I always thought I was Scottish because of my last name. Then I took a dna test and there was no Scottish. But 39% English and 32% Germanic. The rest was French, Netherlands, a little Welsh and and little Irish.
    5
  1741.  @celtichistorydecoded  fair enough. my own view is what happened in england was similar to France in Italy in that German peoples became a new ruling class, eventually going ''native''.

  1745. It's good you speak of haplotypes. It's like the game of fish. Those that match are genetic cousins regardless of the location or passed down verbal history. It's the same principle for all peoples around the globe. In theory, at least as per testing accuracy.
    5
  1746. Good video, and I watched you on Medieval Irish Channel. Subscribed. I grew up,as a kid, in Greenock, but was raised in London. The world you describe I'm familiar with historically and personally.

  1747. Have you done a vid on RH negative blood type yet? If you haven’t you should! It’s fascinating!

  1748. I think he took inspiration from Anglo-Saxon, Old English, Nordic and possibly the Brythonic kingdoms and peoples in his works. Britain was a mishmash of all of the above, and the Irish were to and fro as well, so it is possible that LOTR was a wider amalgamation of old cultures and languages. He was big on the Anglo-Saxons though. I've seen a theory that they themselves were just another Celtic tribe (moving west from Israel) that eventually branched off and became the Saxons.

  1749. Great video, thank you!

  1750. It always amazes me how quickly the Romans built the wall. Just think of the logistics involved. We barbarians can't even dual the A9!!

  1754. Very interesting 👍shame about there being NO RECORDING'S of these experiments 😲😞 Would've been INTERESTING to KNOW what or even if those two children brought up by a "SPEECHLESS/MUTE WOMAN" did they "VOCALLY/SPEAK TO EACH OTHER " & WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO "SEE/BE THERE AT THE TIME 😲🤔👍 😲🥴🤔 I'll have to look into this more 👍🤔 i want to KNOW WHAT HAPPENED/HAPPENS in this sort of situation 👍👍👍

  1757. Kilts are shown at 3:00, kilts were not invented till much later than this period.
    5
  1758. I'm glad you've made this video as an Englishman I've been finding many connections with the Saxons and Scythians and it seems that a lot of the Germanic and Celtic people are either related to or originate from the Scythians. It seems the steppes are calling for us all.

  1761. Our lot got Olaf in the surname but are pretty Gaelic
    5
  1762. I have hazel (mostly green with a brown centered golden "sunflower"), but my son takes after his father with grey eyes. He doesn't know much about his ancestry, and I have yet to convince him to get a dna test, but mine is: 57% England & NW Europe 24% The Balkans 6% Germanic Europe 5% Eastern Europe and Russia 5% Scotland 2% Norway 1% Anatolia & the Caucasus

  1777. He was conveniently late to every battle in the Jacobite Risings he turned up to so my guess is he was timing his appearance to benefit his clan. His lands adjoined Campbell lands, who were largely (not all) supporting the Hanoverians, so I don't really blame him for being cagey. Rob Roy is supposed to have hidden behind our village Oak and awaited the passing of Graham of Killearn one morning, who had been one of the accusers of Rob Roy's youngest son (Robin) in the abduction and forced marriage of a local girl. Rob Roy stepped out from behind the tree and promptly slew the man before heading swiftly north, only to find out the man he killed he'd misidentified and he was completely innocent; so he's not the gallant hero hereabouts.

  1779. hey there, i am portuguese and as far as i am aware my ancestors lived in portugal since the end of the 18 century, my dad is 75 y talish, 1,80cm in is 20s, green eyes. my mom 65 y 1,65 cm, in her 20s, and brown eyes, i am 28 y 1,87 cm brown eyes and hair, so i think apart from height i do represent the portuguese population, i did a ancestry test myancestry dna and i was 31% portuguese, 30% northen and west european, 15% italian, 14% sardinian, 5% northen african, 4% british and 1% nigerian, precentages are rounded. taking in consideration that napoleans army spent weeks in my area discounting on the sardinian, northen european and italian side i do belive that portuguese people ar 35% portuguese/iberian 15% french, 10% german, 10% british, 10% arabs, 10% italians 4% Jewish 1% african 5% flamish/ belgians

  1787. I have 92% British Ancestry. My dad was R1b (he participated in a Y-DNA study with the National Odom Assembly here in the states) but I don't know my maternal haplogroup. I know I share a bit over 200 SNP''s with Cheddar Man...which is a fair amount considering the genetic distance.
    5
  1788. First, ancestry for mom is England, Wales, France; Dad is England, Scotland, Ireland. Maternal haplogroup for mom is H2 and Dad is H1. Dad's paternal haplogroup is R-S764. My mom has chocolate brown eyes; my dad has smokey blue eyes; and I have green eyes; my older sister has same eye colour as my father and my younger sister has the same eye colour as my mother.
    5
  1789. Am I correct in my hunch that "Jute" is a vatiation of Goth? I find myself thinking of Jutlander being pronounced Yoh-t-lander, and as we all know there are all kinds of small variations and particularised emphasis in differing regional pronunciation(s) and dialects. And delving into the Roman period of Britain/West Europe and the Celtic and Germanic Folk returns an absolute treasure trove of events and relations and allsorts that are criminally under explored, but I bring it up, partly to prompt folks to seek this treasure, but because it demonstrates the certainty that there were massive interconnections with all of the highly esteemed peoples throughout the Roman Empire and the Britons, with Noble Goths coming to be part of the British mix becoming not at all far fetched a notion.

  1792. I was born in Netherlands and have grey eyes ancestry Swedish and British

  1793. I have green eyes. My daughter and neice do as well. I prefer dimmer light. Bright light hurts my eyes, and they close and tear up in brighter days. They turn greener when they are lit up. I like them though. 😎
    5
  1794. I don't think Erik the Red had any Scottish or Irish ancestry just a straight up Viking with red hair. Just saying Scandinavians had that to a certain percentage without the slave story.
    5
  1795. I`m mainly Irish and my group is R-M269

  1805. Without the English, Britain today maybe either one unified Kingdom, under a common Romano-Briton Kingdom. Or divided into hundreds of petty kingdoms. Or conquered by Danes
    5
  1806. Hope they were aware of the irony. It is worth mentioning, though, that they had a point, even to this day: when you rely on external information sources rather than your own memory, you're not getting much wiser over the years. Knowledge is pointless in practice if you can't remember any of it.
    5
  1807. Yes! The folklore aspects of the film have been totally ignored and they're so obvious.
    5
  1808. My mother's a redhead. I have dark brown with tiny bit of red in my hair and beard while its slowly turning white since 24 or 25
    5
  1809. Can't remember where I picked this wee gem from but I definitely remember a history of genetics book stating there were almost no skeletal examples of arthritis in Britain before the Viking settlements. There does seem to be a definite link between Viking ancestry and a condition named 'Depuytren Contracture', which causes the fingers of the hand to contract towards the palm.
    5
  1810. I was born with blond hair but it darkened to gold over time. My Ancestors were Highlanders.

  1815. I am a Bard from the United States. I can trace my lineage back to clan Baird. I also have some Forbes in my ancestry which is a Pict name. Legend is that a Bard once saved the life of the King of Scotland from the attack of a wild boar, and a boar is part of our coat of arms. Looking forward to the video.

  1817. You should do a video on clan Wallace. There's a lack of videos about it despite it's fame
    5
  1818. I loved the presentation, per usual! Further along in my own haplogroup research I'm starting to think I'm from Cumbria (what a shame I can't learn Cumbric), trying my damnedest to trace the steps in a multidisciplinary way without getting too far ahead of myself.😅 Anyways, you've always got a R-BY13124 watching your videos! It'd be cool to see what other HGs are lurking in the shadows. I'd be willing to bet there's some cousins mucking about! 💪🏼🌞🫴🏼🛞

  1819. Frisian is considered the sister language of English. There were two pockets of Frisian that survived until relatively recently in northern Germany. They remained mutually intelligible and were more similar to Old Frisian than the Frisian spoken modernly in the Netherlands. There was a recording of Wangerooge Frisian on the fräisker channel, and it was fascinating to listen to. The speaker mentioned the year 1813, and he pronounced thirteen as thretiin. The th was a real interdental fricative and the R was heavily trilled. The University of Halle has the recordings on old Edison cylinders, and I wish someone would put them back up on the Internet. I grew up a stone's throw from the Mexican border and grew up hearing and speaking Spanish. Once in a blue moon, I'll run into another güero who speaks it fluently with a flawless Mexican accent, but that truly is once in a blue moon. Two years in Germany left me quite conversant, but it's going to seed.

  1820. Great summary. Good work. Remember to link every subject back to Celts in some way. Suggestion for a video in the future: Lookup Tartan cloth, China, Tocharians. Cheers

  1825. You would think Atlantis could be found by it's ruins.
    5
  1826. Women were actually better off in the Viking Age (apart from the slaves) Then the slaves could also be freed and then included in society. Maybe the woman you talk about in the video came voluntarily or was freed later? I myself have roots mostly from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. My ancestors have been here at least before the Viking Age, around the year 500 anyway. Descended from kings and warriors, but not rich for that 😊 Ordinary Nordic man. Born and lives in Sweden. The focal point is Sweden
    5
  1827. An amazing amount of research has gone into this. Thank you. It confirms the west of our country put up strong resistance to these invaders and I respect that. And it was the last stand for our ancient ancestors, thier beliefs and customs. I mourn the fact that we, in the rest of Britain, have lost our ancient culture because of these invaders. But I am pleased the Welsh still have thier pride and own language, to show us how resilient they were to foreign immigrants. Even now, us English think it's a strange thing that the the Welsh have thier own language, but I respect the reason . . . They are what's left of our true identity before the Italian forces tried to wipe us off the map. I believe it was all about control of the masses, and to do that you need to destroy or take over thier belief system. The Italians did exactly that. In doing so our countries' culture was demonized by them. Edward 1st of England ruined any chance of Wales getting back it's power and individuality. The rest is history . . . Lest we forget.

  1828. We preferred to keep sacred information to only selected tribe members, this way no information could be stolen or obtained even if captured by others the true information would still be hidden, so that it could not to be used against the tribe.

  1835. Spaniard (Catalan) here and as far as I know my family tree as well until about 200 years ago. On tellmegen ancestry dna test I got this mix: Europe 100% Iberian Peninsula 31.9% Spain Detected Portugal Not detected British Isles and Ireland 26.3% UK Detected Ireland Detected Sardegna 18.4% Italy 13.8% Central Europe 9.6% France Detected Belgium Detected NL CH and DE Not Detected

  1836. I'm English. My family tree goes back to the 1700s with every member being from the same Lincs/S.Yorks area. Recently did my DNA which came back 65% North Western European, 24% English, 11% Welsh.
    5
  1837. I love how you pronounce the word ‘world’ 😊 While I have heard of Lindisfarne, I didn’t know the story behind it, Thankyou for another informative video, Steven.

  1838. They were Gaelic speaking Norse Gaels or Gall Ghaeil and as such were perfect as royal bodyguards and heavy infantry. At the same time as they were culturally and linguistically compatible, they were removed from internecine tribal politics and were loyal unto death. Initially, they worked seasonally, returning to western Scotland for the winter. Eventually, many Gallowglass established themselves permanently in the clans they served. Over time and with intermarriage these Gallowglass became predominantly Irish Gaels, although their Scottish cousins continued to serve intermittently.
    5
  1839. Interesting as always!
    5
  1840. Oh my father said I have English Scottish and Welsh and oh my mother side I’m Scotch Irish
    5
  1841. Clans McLeod, McRae and Fraser. I’ve never been to Scotland, but would love to visit someday. My Scottish ancestors migrated to America in the 18th century.
    5
  1842. Given the evidence from writings, factual climatology, myths, and geological events.....Atlantic Ocean is the most likely place. Off the coast of Africa..going out into the ocean and north toward Iceland......and about where the tectonic plates meet. IMO..... If they did find actual evidence on the ocean floor, I wonder if they would let the world know....hmmmm
    5
  1843. Hi Ste 😊 I’d never heard of these Beaker people. I love your videos and appreciate your time and effort doing these ~ that’s why people should support and #Patreon you. I always learn new things from these videos, it’s not just your accent that hooks me in Lol
    5
  1844. Although, penned centuries later by the wisp of Ayr. I say " Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Freeman stand, or freemen fa', Caledonia ! on wi' me ! " All the best, from Charleston, South Carolina. Where , it was said by my great, great grand father, " an insult will not finish leaving your mouth before you be meeting the ground." Care to guess from whence he came.
    5
  1845. i've got Hazel eyes. Everybody else in the family have Brown Eyes
    5
  1846. On my Mother’s side, I have mt-Haplogroup K. I found it a tad surprising that K is not common in Germany today. Of course, on my Mother’s side , I have predominantly Welsh, Scottish, and English ancestry. So, this could explain the difference. Your opinion?
    5
  1847. Very interesting thanks for sharing some of your history
    5
  1848. nice explanation. celtic history is so underrated
    5
  1849. How about McLeod of Lewes and Harris (it has 2 distinct branches) and another Highland clan McNeil who claims descent from Niall Of The 9 Hostages? Apparently either McNeil or the Irish clan O'Neill isn't correct as they both claim descent from him, because each have a different Y haplotype. 😮
    5
  1850. 1:01 Scandinavian i.e. Norwegian is Germanic
    5
  1851. i really enjoyed this phillum
    5
  1852. 4/5 of my ancestry is British. I am keen on claiming both Picts & Anglo-Saxons as ancestors.
    5
  1853. Love the accent, it really is easy to listen to. We have been to Culloden and glad we went. Our side is linked to the McLeod clan. 🇦🇺
    5
  1854. Great video. All Europeans have Steppe ancestry. From roughly 50% in the North to 30 % in the Mediterranean. The Scots are among the highest.
    5
  1855. hazel in America. i'd say more green but they seem to alter a bit depending - but never mistaken for brown.
    5
  1856. Hazel eyes. Eyes will change from blue to green depending on what color I'm wearing. People will tell me i thought your eyes were green, but today they are very blue.😊
    5
  1857. I am, or rather was a red head as it's becoming white now I'm old. I have green hazel eyes also. My family were Lancashire folk - beacause of HVIII's censuses we could track back to that time. Ancestry shows me to have Anglo Saxon, Angle, Scandinavian and Celtic DNA along with a sprinking of others. Being the Celtic fringe of England there was much mingling with Irish, and Scots through the centuries. The Vikings were driven out of Ireland and came across to the area where my family farmed and created peaceful settlements. My eye colour and hair probably stemmed from the Celtic and Scandinavian input. (I was the only one with the colouring, the others were grey, or blue eyed, brunettes.
    5
  1858. Simply male dominance is the likely reason.
    5
  1859. Amazing. Never heard of this find until here.
    5
  1860.  @celtichistorydecoded  My pleasure entirely. Nice to see the forgotten celtic tribes of Britain get a mention. How different these islands could have been if Boudicca had won?
    5
  1861.  @celtichistorydecoded  If you don't know where you've come from you won't know where you're going to.
    5
  1862. That combo is not great in hot Australia mate😆
    5
  1863. I have some Scandinavia dna, I have green eyes with central hetrocromea, with brown freckles in my eyes 😊
    5
  1864. Bruce defected back to Edward I in 1302, not 1304. He was not forced: Bruce was influenced by the potential return of John Balliol to Scotland, backed by a French army. This would have ruined his hopes of becoming King of Scots. He gave not two hoots about William Wallace.
    5
  1865. If Lindisfarne was known to be a centre of Christian religion, why didn't it have any fortifications or armed defenders? Sounds like they could afford it.
    5
  1866. I have one daughter with strawberry blonde hair and light ice blue eyes, and she has a daughter with strawberry blonde hair but slightly darker blue eyes, both looked identical growing up. My daughters hair has darkened to mid brown as she has gotten older. We have British, Scottish, Irish, and Norwegian bloodlines. From Australia
    5
  1867. Your videos are superb! Thank you!
    5
  1868. God they could write in the day
    5
  1869. Great video, thank you for sharing. These are my Scottish family members that ended up moving to Canada: My paternal grandmother is a Brodie (her mother was a Christie). My paternal grandfather is a Porter, Sept of MacNaughton, (his mother was a Weir). My maternal grandmother had parents that were from the Church and Hails families, that left Scotland for England and then to Canada.
    5
  1870. Cool vid. Places names are like history books in of themselves. I tracked down the sources on the idea that Maeatae were Norse and its from Victorian era attempts to translate the names of northern Celtic Kingdoms, these being apparently 'similar' to a few old Norse names. However, I think this idea doesn't stand up to more modern translations with a better understanding of common Celtic word-roots. *Maeatae might mean ''the larger'' referring to a collection or unity of other tribes in a confederate.
    5
  1871. accent of speaker is delightful.
    5
  1872. So are you 70% English then ?
    5
  1873. Great information again, thank you, however Alba is pronounced as Al-a ba or Al-a-pa.
    5
  1874. I think east eurasian nomadic R1b ydna males have conquered west european lands of G2 ydna males, early european farmers.
    5
  1875. My paternal haplogroup is weirdly R-M167, originating in the Pyrenees Mountains between modern-day Spain and France. I say weirdly, because I can trace my paternal line back to a little village on the edge of the Staffordshire Moors in the late 13th century, and my 23&Me report says my background is 92% British and 8% Scandinavian. Is this possibly derived from Celts, migrating up the coast?
    5
  1876. Irish guy here and three percent of my DNA comes from Norway. Imagine my shock! Do I like fermented herring? No, but I plan to visit Norway and learn some phrases.
    5
  1877. Atilla and his Huns were notorious for keeping fermented dairy products in leather pouches on their horses (and they would use horse milk). Kumis and arkhi were two main products. I wonder how a culture's specific microbiome - practiced over 100s of years - relates to tolerance? I like milk, cheese, yogurt et al but milk can def make people fatter (a benefit for babies and such). In hot climates where foods spoiled quickly I can see where avoiding milks was a wise thing

  1878. I’m from Devon but my ancestry DNA shows 51% Cornish and 42% Welsh.
    5
  1879. My paternal ancestors were from Scotland, surname Scott. Some moved to South Africa, where I was born but I don't know when, my grandfather had a book on the family of the South African Scotts, he also had the crest and tartan but I have no idea where those are now. I would love to find out more about my Scottish ancestors and I am currently waiting for my DNA results 🙂
    5
  1880. I believe I am maternally related to the Cameron of Lochiel Clan. I'm sure there are others too, I think I heard some Campbell connection too. At my school we had 2 people who hated each other based solely on the fact their last names were Campbell and MacDonald lol.
    5
  1881. I haven’t seen anyone respond with the clan I trace back to, which isn’t on your map either: Oliphant. I know that clan is supposed to be of Norman origin. Since I just found this channel, and you may have covered more clans since this video was released, I’m going to take a look at some of your other videos for them. 👍🏻

  1882. Great video

  1883. DNA has really helped us to understand the history of the British home nations. While some haplogroups are too general to furnish ties with particular tribes, others can still provide some insight. I'm no expert, but most of the research papers I have seen implied that the 'average' English person is about 38% Frisian (and Dane Viking), 30% Brythonic Celt, 20% Northwest European (N.France & W.Germany), 6% Norwegian Viking, the remainder is mainly Iberian derived. This is pretty similar to the average Lowland Scot. Interestingly, the Brythonic and pre-Brythonic population is higher in Cornwall and Devon, but still very similar to the English average. Also noteworthy, there is much more diversity between the acknowledged Celtic nations, which would seem to support more of a cultural link. Useful video!

  1884. Hi mate is the Johnston clan foreign ??
    5
  1885. Clan Bruce, same as Robert the Bruce. My branch left Scotland for America in the 1700s, so my connection is distant but I still take some pride in it. Love from across the pond!
    5
  1886. Guthrie. Thanks for the History!
    5
  1887.  @celtichistorydecoded  second to the new Anglo-Saxon study, a Britanny study came out this year which is really good.
    5
  1888. I am like the ancient Celts in that my hair is artificially enhanced to a blonde colour, but not with limewater, with bleach.
    5
  1889. There’s a great Docu-Series with Neal Oliver and Alice Roberts all about the Celts. They have an episode about Boudicca and the Britons.
    5
  1890. Great video 👍🏻
    5
  1891. Interesting puzzle is my dad, we did his dna with 23andme in 2020 to try and find the identity of his mystery paternal grandfather. Dad's ancestral breakdown was: 100% northwest european 96.1 British and Irish 2% French and German 1% Scandanavian 0.9% Broardly Northwest European His Y DNA haplogroup though was confusingly R-Z93 hardly any native british men with this and far more common in the middle east and the subcontinent. This comes directly from the man who was his unknown grandfather. Dad was a slight man, with brigh ginger hair and freckles. We lost him last year but would still love to know the answer to this puzzle.

  1892. Very well made for less than 100k subs! Wishing you the best 🎉
    5
  1893. Enjoyed the explanation. I love the mystic loar.
    5
  1894. I have Hazel eyes closer to green. I have Tatar roots between the Volga and Western Siberia and northern Kazakhstan. And apparently I'm not alone. I also think that yamna pastoralists are not accidentally described as light/inermediate skin and variable aye color some with blonde hair.
    5
  1895. Blue green eyes here, dark brown hair, lots of Irish in me, my grandparents came over as young adults..
    5
  1896. Your channel is a vault of wonderful knowledge. Everything is going to my novel.
    5
  1897. I have very proud origins of Clan MacDonald and Clan Stewart on my fathers side. I love your videos and learning more about my ancestors.
    5
  1898. I hope not.My son has reddish hair and blue eyes .
    5
  1899. You all have such exciting dna. I did a test that confirmed that i was about 94% northern Norwegian with a dash of Finland😅 I guess my ancestors liked staying home😂
    5
  1900. If they adopted the culture and Gods of the Gaelic inhabitants then doesn’t it imply that they were not really invaders but rather migrants?
    5
  1901. I have blue eyes. So I'm going with the sexual attractiveness theory.
    5
  1902. Great work as always
    5
  1903. I think the Celtic Church would have survived a lot longer.
    5
  1904. Celtic covers a number of different countries. Ireland, Scotland, parts of France.
    5
  1905. So awesome and interesting, loving the channel!
    5
  1906. I am English as far back as i can go on Ancestry (so atleast as far back as 1700s), mainly all from East Anglia... yet my Ancestry is only up to 65% English/ northern Europe and a large % is Scottish and up to 11% norweigen + traces of German + Welsh. ... i was stunned but it makes sense given previous invasions. Fascinating stuff x
    5
  1907. I’m from Spain, have blue eyes, light skin and natural blonde hair, I do well in the winter, but living in a city like Barcelona I have to wear sunscreen ALL of the time, my eyes are well adapted to the light but my skin struggles the most.

  1910. My mother's maiden name is Ocheltree. There are lots of variant spellings: Ockiltree, etc. My MtDNA haplogroup is T2b3-C151T. My GedMatch ID is T667027 My earliest maternal ancestors came to the Virginia colony around 1760. Family lore suggests that they were from the town of Ocheltree in Ayreshire, Scotland, but had to leave after the battle of Culloden (1746), first to Armagh, Ireland and then on to Virginia, changing their name from STEWART to the place where they were from: Ocheltree.
    5
  1911. Thanks for this! Several of Canada's early Prime Ministers were either born in Scotland, or were of Scots descent - including the first, Sir John A. Macdonald (born in Glasgow). Sir John Thompson was of Ulster Scots background via Nova Scotia, although he converted to Roman Catholicism for marital purposes, and became the first Roman Catholic Prime Minister of Canada in 1892.
    5
  1912. 4/5 of my ancestry is British. I am grateful for your information. It helps me understand my ancient English & Scottish roots.
    5
  1913. The Altia Mountains I thought they originated Oh you said that lol But different genetic groups came from there The Srubna culture was R1a
    5
  1914. There is also some evidence, via witness accounts, that the Templars fought alongside Wallace at Stirling.
    5
  1915. Tiny correction. The pigment ochre is pronounced 'oak-er', not 'ock-ree'. Americans spell it ocher, which closer to the sound.
    5
  1916. The vikings certainly got around. You look at the size of Scandinavia and think why did the vikings need to invade the British Isles back in the day and for hundreds of years at that.
    5
  1917. From Croatia, my father and his sister have fully grey eyes. I ended up with green but have have patches of grey mixed in mainly on the outer rim.
    5
  1918. I have blueish hazel eyes 👀. I also think someone said my eyes look greenish
    5
  1919. I'm a Canadian "mutt", Scottish, Irish, Welsh, German, Scandinavian. Green eyed and fancy free.
    5
  1920. I have green eyes, dark brown hair, and fair skin, as well as my mother did. I have a high percentage ancestry from Scottish and English descents. I am from Alabama, USA.
    5
  1921. Have you listened to Dan Carlins Celtic Holocaust?
    5
  1922. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
    5
  1923. I'm from Calabria in Italy - which is very southern Italy - and all my family, most relatives and many people in our town have blue eyes.... Like many people have said, I, too, prefer low light/lamp light to strong/bright light ...
    5
  1924. I love the way you pronounce culture 💯😉
    5
  1925. I respect you for being Scottish, but dude you need to stop leaving so much time between your words
    5
  1926. Green eyes here. Greek on one side. Cornish, French and German on the other
    5
  1927. Ancient initiated knowledge. Sacred geometry. The cross is a representation of the fixed astrological signs of Leo, Scorpio, Taurus and Aquarius. The pillar will show the constellations as observed from the direction of sight. (Just an observation but the pillar is covered in eaoteric knowledge. Think of the pillars at Gobleki tepe)
    5
  1928. Green eyes here and I appreciate them so much. Ancestry: English, German, and Norwegian with just a pinch of Scotch Irish. Hooray for diversity!
    5
  1929. Julios Cesar was a gigachad.
    5
  1930. Do you have a video or plan on making one going more in depth about the origins and history of Clan Johnston? Terrific vids! :)
    5
  1931. Im Lusitano, direct descendent from celts, Portuguese nowadays. Very proud of my western European/Celtic heritage.
    5
  1932. Thank you for a great conversation it was great to have you on.
    5
  1933. I'm portuguese, in my family endogamy runs a lot.
    5
  1934. The templars were not Banned in Scotland, they had been since 1119. Most of the Templars were probably retired. Unfortunatley there has never been any evidence of them either fighting at Bannockburn. As a Templar myself, we were told the same story. It is a nice thought that they did, but without evidence I doubt it
    5
  1935. "Adam the Jacobite" was my ancestor who fought in the Battle of Culloden. He was shipped to Virginia, where he served 7 years as an indentured servant in Hanover County. We visited the battleground in 2004 and walked around the monument there. It felt really strange to know our ancestor was there all those years ago.
    5
  1936. That was amazing! How informative on a topic I have always been interested in. Thank you for the video; I will be watching your other videos.
    5
  1937. It always intrigues me where so many Anatolian farmers came from to form the population of Europe, maybe there were no farmers left in Anatolia and the population disappeared due to hunger, since the farmers all went to Europe
    5
  1938. I just saw this last night. Thanks for the explanation about the banshee. One big takeaway I had from the film was about the pigheadedness of men. Colm, Padraic, and Dominic (who I believe committed suicide when Siobhan left) are all brought down by their stubbornness, their inability to recognize that different ways forward are possible, their refusal to change their situations when they're not. Siobhan is the only sensible main character in the film, who has the vision to change and does what is necessary to improve her life.
    5
  1939. @williamcarthcart7994 That’s a good question about to what extent the Corded Ware spread into the U.K., considering they were more of a central, eastern, Northern European group, but they are in Scandinavians. So of course analysis would have to be done on older samples considering the amount Germanic dna in the U.K. Plus the interaction between the BB & CW happened early enough that various degrees of admixture would most likely be in continental Celts and Anglo Saxons that moved into the U.K. during the Iron Age and later. Also both the CW & BB largely descend from the Yamnaya with some Neolithic Farmer admixture, which the gentleman in the video mentioned about the BB. I have heard and read some speculation that the CW derived its steppe ancestry from perhaps a very similar line Yamnaya group in the forest north of the Yamnaya, but I don’t now, I think the consensus is CW is predominantly Yamnaya with some NF. Hope this helps best Josh:)

  1940. The Haplogroup 4:49 R1b-M269 is also present in large proportion in the central Romania. The majority of the highlanders of Transylvania, in Alba County (including all my male relatives) have this haplogroup. People in this area are having medium stature, very white skin, brown hair (with a significant minority of blond and no black haired), half of them are having brown eyes and half light eyes (blue or green) and no black eyes.
    5
  1941. Both of my grandparents were from the same village on the west coast of Finland in Osterbotten. I was told we were all Swedish and I joined my brothers in taking 3 years of Swedish at UC Berkeley's esteemed Scandinavian Department. 23andMe revealed that I am K1C1 and am 32 percent Finnish versus 24 percent Swedish. I have known that my haplogroup places my genetic map in Siberia. Thank you for a great video!

  1942. I m spanish ,My heritage ,north east iberic 60 % celtic 20 % 15 % from old Sardeny ,5 % from old greece .0% arab 0% jewish 0% north africa 0% germania 0% others .
    5
  1943. Some Norwegians have some similarities to the Western Irish, the fatter rounder nosed big blocky headed with small eyes and curly brown or red hair- Called Brunn types or Paleo Atlantids. These are the Fir Bolg in Irish mythology and likely come from Paleolithic survivors from the ice age Irish settlers who'd later be invaded by thinner faced and blonde haired gauls- reflected as the Tutha de dannen in Irish mythology. You'll also find Borreby phenotypes in Ireland with North Atlantids and Keltic Nordids. Atleast that's my two sense research.
    5
  1944. How about the MacGaffeys??? Any info.

    5
  1949. I like your clan map. I never knew where my ancestors, the Robertson’s,lived in Scotland but now I know - NE Scotland above the River Forth. I know where they lived here, Henrico County, VA and later Charlton County, GA. They never forgot their military service background and have fought in every war in America
    5
  1950. Mom had brown eyes and Dad had blue eyes. Mine are Hazel green. When you look closely at them, they are a mixture of golden brown and blue.
    5
  1951. The regions of Asturias and northwestern Castilla y León are also Celtic. :)
    5
  1952. Thanks for keeping us alive.
    5
  1953. Oddly I never seen the Romans as Brits or the Normans. But Celts, Pre -Celts, Picts, Anglo-Saxon yes. And kind of not surprised re the Vikings apart from Yorkshire and wow my favourite Orkney 🙂👍 ( did research in Orkney folk music, dance, drama)
    5
  1954. clan Macpherson, use to be part of the clan years ago, might try it again.

  1960. I have dark hair and smoky-blue eyes. My parents are from eastern-Finland .
    5
  1961. I am Norse Gael on my mothers side MacDonald and my father's side Horsburgh..
    5
  1962. Some believe that they made it as far inland as Minnesota via the Great Lakes. They definitely would have explored further inland via rivers as was their approach in many parts of Europe and even the Middle East. The Kensington Runestone supposedly found in Minnesota by a Swedish farmer in 1898 is the closest we have for proof, and it’s highly debated whether or not it’s genuine. Even if it’s not, one can’t help but imagine Viking voyages far inland to the Americas and their encounters with native Americans.
    5
  1963. Thank you. I enjoy all of your work. As always, I look forward to your next one.
    5
  1964. Green eyes, red hair...Irish/Italian
    5
  1965. Always learn something interesting from your presentations. Thanks, 👍🏼.
    5
  1966. Thank you, for your work. Love cream and butter! Now I know why. Think on, that our success is also due to our 'Cooperation and Inquisitiveness'. However, History is often measured by our present day bias and dogma(s). Good detective work is not that easy,
    5
  1967. I have hazel eyes as did my mother and her mother tracing back 5 generations to Ireland. I am Australian. Both of my sons have hazel eyes too. It seems like it’s hereditary to me but I suppose that doesn’t rule out environmental reasons for its origin.
    5
  1968. Would be interested in hearing more about Macdougall Clan

  1974. This one was well done and very interesting. Thanks
    5
  1975. I have been musing about the connection between the civil war in the movie and the breakdown of the friendship and I found it an imperfect parallel, however another thought struck me. What if the breakdown in the friendship mirrored the relationship between Ireland and Britain...Páraic representing an uncomprehending Britain, not really getting why Ireland wanted to go it's own way, forge it's own destiny, while Colm struggled to break away, with the self-harm mirroring the Civil War?
    5
  1976. A Scythian journey to Britain is not that far fetched. Apparently, Strabo and Herodotus recited that the Scythians had invaded southward through the middle east until they reached Egypt in the 7th century BC. Meaning that they would have controlled the major coastal trading city of Tyre. It is well known that the middle east was trading with Britain via sea routes to purchase British Tin for use in Bronze production. A Scythian diplomatic expedition along these trade routes to let the Britons know that there was a new player in the middle east is feasible.
    5
  1977. My mothers mother was of German heritage from what I studied her family came from the palinten and baden basically the black forest, I think she might of had a few other cultures in her but her maiden name was Hendricks and her mothers maiden name was ashebagh.

  1981. Very informative Steven Coch 😊 Barbarians Lol the Scottish were just bloody brilliantly fierce fighters! If the Romans hadn’t of invaded, I’m sure this isle would be fully speaking Brittonic, and Gaelic. I don’t like the Scotland History Tours guy…he’s very rude to people.
    5
  1982. My mob were from Aberdeenshire descended from the pict farmers and quite proudly gave the Romans hell ! 😂 Slainte !
    5
  1983. I tried to research my maiden name Black. Family from Scotland. The best they could do was from the picts they were dark people. I may meed to dig more. Lol.
    5
  1984. I love this stuff; really fascinating. Any idea how present phenotypes might map onto these genetic histories? I know it would be generalized, but still very interesting.
    5
  1985. I'm Portuguese. No Celtic, Italian or north african DNA.
    5
  1986. Thanks for this video! I’m from Serbia and I recently found out I have celtic descent. Very interesting to find more out about my heritage
    5
  1987. I don't know where the science is regarding the hypothesis (theory?) but some genetic genealogists are now claiming the reason Indo-Europeans were able to replace neolithic Europeans so quickly (at least the male lines) was due to the bubonic plague. Neolithic Europeans were farmers thus were in closer contact to plague carrying rats than were the nomadic Indo-European pastoralists. Sounds plausible and has a historical analogue with the replacement of Native American male lines by Europeans in the Americas. In both cases, disease cleared the way for demographic change.
    5
  1988. My fathers Family (MacLennan) came from Scotland, Kyle of Lochalsh. and whilst visiting Scotland i visited Dunadd fort and Kilmartin glen. I visited many neolithic sites in the UK but Dunadd was a favorite, Great video Keep up the great work i look forward tunning into more. from Australia

  1991. Interesting

  1992. I have Gibson ancestors.
    5
  1993. I think there's much truth to the stories being told in books like the Leabhar Gabala Eirenn ; names of the invading races are literally names of real groups of people that lived within sailing distance of the Isles - let me explain: "Nemedians" = North African Numidians "Fomorians" one translation called the Fomorians " Na Fir Morricci " or " Men from Morrocco " ( mind you, Morrocco was said to be home to the Titan ATLAS - titan, fomorian giant; same-same..?🤔 ) "Milesians" Greeks from Miletus in Anatolia , right across the Mediterranean from Egypt , Greeks settled in Spain, where Mil Espaine & Goidel Glas were from ( Goidel Glas was from Gades , which today is Cadiz . It was a Phoenician port city [if Phonecians could travel across the Mediterranean to Spain, then so could Milesian Greeks from Turkey & their Egyptian girlfriends😎]) Those Greek Milesians that settled in Spain ? THEY LIKED TO DATE EGYPTIANS ! Greco/Egyptian relations were GREAT ! Of course a Milesian could've dated an Egyptian woman of nobility like Scotia ! IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME ! I think there's A LOT more to these stories than people realise; there were EGYPTIAN ROYALTY IN SCOTLAND technically speaking, there were Gypsie Kings of Scotland said to descend from nomadic EGYPTIANS (á lá Scotia..?🤔😏) it's MIND BLOWING the tattered bits of history & myth that we can try to piece together with some possible probability
    5
  1994. Reading the Mummies of Urumchi points out that they also made tartan plaid materials. One mummy has a conical shaped hat, like a witch or warlock would have. The theory of a central Asian origin sounds quite plausible. Hello from a Silesian Texan with blue gray eyes and reddish hair.
    5
  1995. I like the fact that it means scottish Kings and Queen are only in there position as long as the people of Scotland allow it.

    5
  2006. I have R1b and U5a1a1 from parents lines. I am basically North Western European 99.8%. Are we not all just Europeans who created tribal identities that became Nations which invaded each other and mixed the gene pool?
    5
  2007. Great video! I would love a follow-up, Andrew Jackson is interesting. Maybe you could do prime ministers? I heard Scot’s are overrepresented!

  2010. My father told me a story of our ancestors. We were an elite army who were chosen to explore the west. And we traveled with our families to find new land. Out of the steppes. The long grasslands. He said, this is an oral history
    5
  2011. Our lot is supposed to have a Banshee attach ed to us called Meelin
    5
  2012. Thanks for this! Scottish immigrants were important figures in the early development of Canada, generally. The first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald; the man who made the transcontinental railroad possible, Lord Strathcona; and the first colonial governor of the province where I live, Sir James Douglas (who was of mixed Scots and Guyanese parentage). Speaking of British Columbia, the famous explorers of the mainland were all Scots-born or of Scottish parentage: Simon Fraser, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, John Thompson, John Stuart, etc. - working for the Hudson's Bay and Northwest Companies.

  2019. This is very interesting for me. I was adopted at 7 days old and never knew my birth parents. I recently found out through DNA, that I'm 20% Native American, along with Scottish and Welsh.
    5
  2020. Im surprised you didnt mention the Norwegian viking influence on the all the islands off the west coast of Scotland. Also the far north of the Scottish mainland like, Caithness and Sutherland. These areas were largely colonised by the vikings. Most of the western isles of Scotland belonged to the King of Norway until 14th century, with some islands not becoming part of Scotland until the end of the 15th century. Usually they were bought by the Scottish crown or given to Scotland as part of a treaty. However there is a large Norwegian genetic legacy left in these islands. Which has been shown in other studies. Perhaps not in the one you mention.

  2030. I wonder if you can make a video about the genetics of the berbers. I was going to ask for a video about the influence of the bell beaker culture over North africa but I didn't think there would be much to talk about, so probably a short.

  2035. I could listen to you talk all day :)!! I speak English, of course, Spanish, American Sign Language, Pidgeon Signed English, and Sign Exact English. I know that technically only three of these are bonified languages, but the other two still count in my book and were just as hard to learn. Toodles and thank you for the awesome video.

  2045. The altar incident with Comyn always intrigued me. Surely Comyn didn’t arrive alone. How did that not result in a skirmish between Comyn’s men and Bruce’s? What did Comyn’s people claim afterward? Some things don’t seem to add up about it.
    5
  2046. Very good but you might find that the area was called Britannia. The tribes where called the Caledonii because they inhabited the area of Britain called Caledonia. By your reconing the North of England should be called Briganteland. Wikipedia says the following "Caledonia (/ˌkælɪˈdoʊniə/; Latin: Calēdonia [käɫ̪eːˈd̪ɔniä]) was the Latin name used by the Roman Empire to refer to the part of Great Britain (Latin: Britannia) that lies north of the River Forth, which includes most of the land area of Scotland."

    5
  2051. Another excellent video in a convenient ten minute length, filled with good information I can share with others. Also, thanks for mentioning the Corded Ware culture towards the end.They were a major distributor of Indo-European language and culture, In what become the Sintashta / Indo-Iranic, or Aryans. We can see this in the trail of technology, language and culture, as well as the European Neolithic Farmer DNA ‘Globular Amphora’ as far as places such as Persia and India. Of course blending with preexisting cultures across Eurasia forming unique cultures, but still with cultural and linguistic continuity. Thanks for the video:)

  2054. There are plenty of Welsh folk who would help you with your pronunciation (and plenty of online resources, too). It's worth getting these things right in your videos (ask me how I know!) (Okay, I know because I've actually removed videos from my own channel when I got pronunciation wrong.) Think how it makes you feel when people mispronounce Scottish words.

  2056. My sister and I have brown eyes like our parents, my brother and 1 of my 5 sons has green, one has blue, and 3 have brown. I'm a Mitchell and my grandfather had hazel eyes. If it wouldn't be too much trouble to slow down when talking, your accent is strong and I needed to reduce play speed. I love finding out about my family's history. I only wish I could actually be there.

  2059. Remember too that a form of Vulgar Latin was spoken by the most Romanized Britons. The language didn't survive the Anglo-Saxon migrations. I don't know if it would have survived being absorbed by the Celtic languages.

  2061. Brazilian here, my 23andme results are: 96.1% European: - Spanish & Portuguese: 67.4% - French & German: 13.5% - Italian: 7.6% - Greek & Balkan: 2.4% - Broadly South European: 5.2% 1.9% Western Asian & North African 1.1% Indigenous American 0.9% Sub-Saharan African I come from a recent migration, so the vast majority of my ancestors arrived in Brazil in the past 150 years, most of them being (far) northern Portuguese, around the city of Braga. However, a small part is colonial thus the Amerindian DNA
    5
  2062. Glædelig Jul (merry Christmas) from Jutland.
    5
  2063. What I take from this is that the European population derived from two main groups of people, one who migrated from the Black sea area westward along the Danube and a second who migrated northward on the eastern side of the Carpathian mountains and Dniester.
    5
  2064. My first languages are both English and Tagalog 😮‍💨 Filipino and a little Japanese as say a second language, where I suck at. I'm Chinese Filipino, tried learning Chinese, it was a non starter, it was difficult to say the least, my parents both speak Tagalog 😣 Filipino as first language and as second languages Ilocano and English, my Chinese mom can't speak Chinese but can understand drops of Spanish while my Basque-Tagalog-Ilocano dad can't speak a drop of Spanish; which makes our family complicated linguistically, add to that Chinese speaking relatives and friends and everything gets messed up.

  2065. Thank you for the lesson. A bold and fascinating people. I would love to know more about them.
    5
  2066. The differences between Goidelic/Gaelic and Brythonic/Welsh are too great to have evolved in these Isles I believe. Much more likely is a separation of the earliest Celtic population within Europe, probably Goidelic developing in Spain and Brythonic in Northern Europe, for hundreds of years prior to the two groups making their way separately to Ireland (and maybe Argyll) and Britain. Pity we don't know more about Pictish!!!
    5
  2067. I got my results back recently 43% scottish 25% English 22% Irish The rest a mix of Scandinavian and german. Then recently I recieved an update that changed my DNA results to 37% scottish 29% English 24% Irish. Spewing I lost some scottishness haha but it goes to show just how closely the borders are related genetically. My grandmothers family were Landales who are from Roxburghshire

  2072. What a fun channel this is! Loving the comments and reading about people's green-eyed heritage! Awesome vibe and community! I am in Aus with my known heritage to be English/German with some Nordic in there, too! and my surname might suggest Irish. Most of my family are brown with a few hazel and one blue - eyed person - my sister! I have probably the most uninspired green eyes - like sea algae or green sea water😄🤣
    5
  2073. Great video! One clarification: at 3:20, "whereas other women who lived at the same time, their genetic lineage didn't survive"... stated this way, that is not strictly true. Other women who lived at the same time as Mitochondrial Eve may still have ancestors alive today, just not in a direct unbroken female line. For example, they might have a male descendant somewhere who linked up with one of Mitochondrial Eve's female descendants.

  2091. I did an Ancestry DNA a few years back. As time goes by they update the map and the percentages. I am now 25% Scottish! My connection is Richardson (maternal father.) Don't know more than that, but I'm so very happy to learn this! I also can trace my roots to one of the founding families of Los Angeles, California. Since I was born and raised in Southern California I'm pretty thrilled about that, too!

  2093. Thank you for this video about Norwegian ancestry. I feel like the odd one out, as my mt-haplopgroup is I3a, not very common in Norway. As far back as I can trace my maternal line, we have lived in the same area as far back I can find. I live in Trondheim, and the furterest I can com on this line is Johanna born in1754 along hte same fjord, only in the other end. She moved to Trondheim, and we have stayed ever since. Do you know where mt-I3a might origine from?

  2095. Could it be argued that the Scots are genetically more descended from Beaker Folks than they are from Celts ? The Celticness of the Scots may be mainly cultural/linguistic.

  2104. Something interesting i recently read about, seems to show through genetics that the Scoti/Gaels seemed to have settled in the West of Scotland first and then migrated into Ireland. Instead of the reverse as previously though. Which makes sense logically as it'd be easier to cross from mainland Europe into Britain then into Ireland, than from mainland Europe into Ireland. Also the possible Greek origins of "Scoti" and "Scotland" from the Greek "Skotos" meaning "dark/gloom". May not have much evidence to support it, but it certainly fits with how little sunlight we get compared to the rest of the British isles.
    4
  2105. Hey man, Great channel! Im loving the content about Scythian-"Celtic" connection at the moment! It's interesting how much of the ancient understanding of ourselves in Britain is turning out to have some truth to it. (It's something I'm exploring myself btw) Do you think the political controversy linked with 19th-century British-Israelism has affected the exploration of these areas within academia?
    4
  2106. I was born in england, lived in ireland now isle of man and have scottish parents, i have 94% british genes (mutt breed but mostly scottish english with a splash of irish zero welsh) 6% germanic

  2115. Blond hair, blue/green eyes and red facial hair - seems that I like having a bit of everything :P
    4
  2116. With the treachery of Scone, it reminds me of the story how Hengist and Horsa of the Saxons murdered the British nobility under Vortigern during a feast by hiding their daggers in their shoes.
    4
  2117. Interesting. Recent feeds in Ancestry & DNA hypothesis tend to still split hairs due to current details and a lot more tendencies previously thought now much more than over just a decade ago. In another update actually on cave dwellers, I couldn't help myself by thinking... Now, this should be a truer version of real Cavemen!!😂
    4
  2118. I found out that I have Scandinavian ancestry by DNA test, mostly Norwegian. Most of my ancestry is Scottish (Highlands) - I am American, so I didn't know where my bloodlines came from. My haplogroup is H1h, supposedly. I would like to know more on that. I get told constantly that I look "Russian", even by Russians. I recently found out that the Highlanders came originally from Russia. 😊 thank you for the interesting video. GOD Bless. ♥️💚♥️

  2124. My mother went to find out what her family tartan was. Apparently the Adamsons were cattle thieves who raided English farms across the border but were linked to either the Macintosh or Macleod.

  2125. Out of the 15,000 soldiers that King Edward brought to Scotland about 10,000 were battle hardend Welsh archers and foot soldiers. When he was talking about Edward dealing with a potential rebellion he was talking about the Welsh. The Welsh were considering joining the Scots at one point.

  2137. Can we believe everything Bede said though?

  2148. My DNA came back as 53% Irish and 47% English, I am English, my dad came from Ireland and that side of the DNA is centered around Clare, Kerry, Galway and Cork, my mum is from Hampshire and my DNA reflects that with the English side centered around Hampshire, Sussex and the South East, there was no other strands of DNA in there which considering how much of a melting pot England has been was a bit of a surprise.

  2152. I have recently had my DNA analysed. I am 30% English, 48% Celtic (Scottish, Irish, Welsh) 7% Finnish and the rest of the 15% from the Balkans and originating from Southern England. The latter two are more ancient than the rest. Interesting! When younger, my hair was auburn and my eyes are blue. I also have freckly, fair skin.

  2154. Very interesting. I have dark green eyes and have wondered how common that is

  2159. Hello. What MOST people don't know Is that the Scots were Irish colonisers in the first place. The Romans called the Irish raiders/colonisers/ settlers SCOTTI. IRELAND was the original SCOTLAND--called SCOTIA and the Irish were settling ALBA { as it was then} Eventually Alba was renamed SCOTLAND...........Meaning Land of the SCOTTI{ i.e. Land of the IRISH------------ just as NEW ENGLAND was named after the English}. ALSO, the County of ARGllYSHIRE has the same meaning as SCOTLAND-------it means LAND OF THE GALES-----that is , SCOTTI-------MODERN IRISH.

  2160. I am light-skinned with reddish-brown hair and am allergic to the sun. Since childhood I burn when exposed to the sun's rays. It's painful and itches to the point where my skin breaks out in tiny bumps that turn from white to red. I stay covered completely from the sun and heat, another thing that triggers the pain.

  2161. I am in USA. My brother & I have hazel eyes. Our mother's father & 1 of her sister's had hazel eyes. Our mother was 1/2 Native American. Her eyes were almost black, & our American Irish/Scottish Dad had blue eyes.

  2162. You'll probably love this fact. In December of 2021 genetic studies released on the Celtic migration to Britain around 1000-800 BC
    4
  2163. The theory that they made it further south is because grapes didn’t grow in Newfoundland, so it doesn’t make much sense (at least from our perspective) to have called that area Vinland. It’s thought they made their way down the St Lawrence & possibly into what became New England., where we know grapes did grow. If I remember correctly, they also were in Baffin Island too. They were incredible sailors - not to mention brave.

  2164. When i was born my blonde hair was so light it almost looked like white, now its a dark yellow color

  2165. About three weeks ago my DNA results came , they also sent me printed letter to explain a few things, my results told me that my heritage is a very high 81% Anglo Saxon, the Angles, Saxon's and Jutes From South Denmark and Northern Germany. 9% Southern Sweden 10% Norwegian, a bit of a mixture, but they all settled in what is now England. As for Celts or early Britons most were driven out of what is now England or simply killed off, so very little if any DNA remains. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Danes who occupied England first unified about 927 AD out of previous Kingdoms of Saxons Jutes and Angles. Athelstan being the first King of England but it wasnt called England until around 1000AD the it was first referred to as Engla Land two words prior to that it was the Land of the Angles or Saxons and part of Land of the Danes, collectively Anglia, and yes I am a Historian.
    4
  2166. Very interesting. I really like this video. Ill watch the red hair video next. The current chief of my clan is Robin Malcolm who lives in Duntrune Castle in County Argyle. Our clan has a connection to clan Campbell. In 1685, Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyle, led a rebellion in protest to a Catholic becoming King of Britain. Archibald was caught, tried, and beheaded. As far as we know, John Neil McCollum, my ancestor, was in that rebellion. He was sentenced to be "transported" to New Jersey to work on the king's plantation. Do you know what my family would look for in a DNA test? Also, my Daddy was a redhead as were 3 of my brothers. My Daddy had hazel eyes. They were kinda a mix of brown and blue. 2 of my brothers had red hair/blue eyes. I was blond with blue eyes. Also, my blood type is A and RH negative. I only bring up the RH factor because it's rare but very common in Red heads and blue eyes and Scotland is one of the nations where RH negative is more common, like the Basque region, and since Rh negative is recessive it must run in my family.

  2167. American here. My daughter has grey eyes with an ancestry of Spanish, Aegean islands, Italian and Irish. She is extremely light sensitive too.
    4
  2168. I am mainly part of clan MacLean, specifically the chiefs. I also have ties to the Campbell, MacDonald, and MacKenzie clans. Sir Kenneth MacKenzie and Lady Margaret Elizabeth Stewart are my 16th great-grandparents through their son Colin MacKenzie. Sir Lachlan Maclean, 14th clan chief, was my 15th great grand father.

  2171. It’s a shame the Druids didn’t write down their knowledge. In order to study for 20 years that means there’s a lot of info to study. It seems that the knowledge we have about Druid Society would probably amount to a few hours of study instead of 20.

  2172. From a linguistic perspective Hallstatt culture seems too late to have been the original source of the main proto-Celtic language expansion. For instance, professor Patrick Sims-Williams purposes that Celtic languages expanded from France into both Britain and Iberia about 1,000 BCE, and genetic data also support the existence of a massive migration from France since Late Bronze Age. Quoting Patrick Sims-Williams: "we come up with the plausible hypothesis that Celtic need not have begun to spread from a central homeland (roughly France) much before c. 1000 bc. This economical hypothesis represents a reasonable starting point for future work and is open to falsification by the discovery of new inscriptions or other data."

  2174. Wow that was an excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing your research.

  2175. It seems like I have read before that the Picts were erase of dark swarthy short people in contrast to the tall fair skin Norse. It would be interesting to know a percentage of their genetic contribution.

  2178. Well... there has to be some competitive advantage involved with blue eyes since (supposedly) a mutation created a single human with blue eyes about 7,000 years ago and now a significant percentage of the world population has blue eye genes.

  2194. I think we have the wrong image of ancient celts of the British isles, from what I understand much of our understanding of celts came from what the romans wrote about them, but they were usually referring to celts from mainland Europe when they describe them as being like uncivilised barbarians, besides Boudicca I don’t think there’s much mention from them of the celts from Britain. Like i say though that’s just my own novice understanding of it 😅 i reckon British celts were probably quite chilled out, that could be another reason why there’s not much notable history remarked by the romans because maybe they integrated cultures pretty well haha I dunno just a thought, not actually watched the video yet 🙈😂

  2196. Im Spanish, Northeastern Spanish to be exact, and used to be red hair as a kid, now in my 30s Im blond and have bluish-greenish eyes. My beard is a blend of blond with reddish tonnes though. Im also tall (185cm) and have white-pink cheeks. I can blend easily among anyone in northern or central Europe and people a lot of times have a hard time thinking I'm spanish because they always think of the stereotyped spaniard (which isnt even true all across the country).

  2197. My dad's eyes were hazel, the most common color in my family. The second most prominent color is amber, then brown. After that is - like mine - blue. My daughter has the rarest in the family, very green eyes! Just for reference, we're a Back-American family! 🧿👀👁️👁️‍🗨️👓😊

  2198. According to “23 and me” my dna test results links me to having share a paternal-line ancestor with Niall of the Nine Hostages. R-M269 hopefully if there’s any inheritance that qualifies me$$😂, also I’m from Puerto Rican descent but there is plenty of green eyes , blond hair, freckles in the bloodline, lots of strong connections with Celtic hailing from Spain Galicia

  2206. Thank you so much for your time and research can support when I can financially. . Have been only recently started research in to clan culture and recognising I carry a marker thats what I call it to put it politely. Ross Clan members I know of ended up in Glasgow then England and also later fiver on a boat emigration programme to Oz. I visited Maclean i think called in Oz and blessed to be there on a pipe parade so still very strong.

  2207. The Romans got slung out of Britain several times and had to bribe and bully their way back in, often having no real power beyond the south east. As for a unified nation, the welsh histories are clear that the Britons had an institution of a 'high King' who was essentially head of the nation.

  2208. Great stuff! Keenly interested in McIntyre, if you can. Thanks!

  2209. I believe the Proto-Celtic language developed on the Atlantic coast of Iberia. Even professor Dr. John T Koch explains how the first Celts migrated eastward into Europe from the Atlantic coast.

  2213. This is interesting. I'm from the North of Portugal, and we are usually more pale than people from the south. My mum's side, we are majority blonde with green and Hazel eye colour. We also had an auntie with ginger hair and a cousin. I wonder if we have some Scottish or Irish DNA in our genes.

  2214. I am italian from the north, according to my heritage i have 20% iberian dna aswell as 23% french/german, no surprise since the north of italy was occupied many times. Btw, spaniards are the closest related people to us italians, both genetically and culturally

  2218. Very interesting. I am a descendant of Clan Dishington, which had connection to Robert the Bruce through marriage between Sir William Dishington (the elder) and Elizabeth Bruce, who was king Robert the Bruce's sister. At some stage they got on the wrong end of a dispute with Clan MacLeod, when John Dishington was involved in an attempt to seize the Isle of Lewis from them. This failed, and Clan Dishington was moved to Orkney were they served under Robert Stewart 1st Earl of Orkney. His grandson James became an agent in Bergen, Norway and that's how the Scandinavian branch started. I am a cognate descendant through female lineages that ended up in Northern Norway. Would be interesting to hear if there are done any genetics done with them and if there are any direct descendants left at all in Orkney or Ardross in Fife, where they first were seated. Their origins are most likely in Northumberland, in the shire of Dissington.

  2220. Hello, Spanish, Irish, Scottish here with hazel eyes (brown leaning). Parents had very dark brown eyes, as do my 4 siblings. Mine were a lighter brown that turned hazel when I was 19-2, love them. Thank you SO much for the information, very interesting!

  2221. Heart breaking history 💔

  2222. I am not making this up, some Welsh people in deepest West Wales have slightly Asian oriental eyes, honest! Peculiar it is, thousands of years removed.
    4
  2223. I think there was a genetic skin advantage in the olden days in cold regions with less sunlight (more vitamin D production). The red hair was a side effect that would have been attractive to many due to its rarity, especially on the sex slave market, like blonds.

  2224. My paternal grandfather claimed we were descendants of the Stuarts.

  2230. Regarding the beaker peoples who eat and drank milk products. It's recently been discovered that milk contains an essential nutrient: C-15:0 fatty acid. Apart from milk the only other common source are fish heads and skin. So that could explain the very quick genetic replacement by beaker people's DNA - they were likely healthier than most natives which would've given them advantages in combat.

  2236. I’m Australian but my maternal grandmother was a Davidson and my paternal grandmother was a Hamilton from the Hamilton-Browns of the Covenanters.

  2238. I have been told that i have a scottish look by a scottish woman i know. I did my ancestry Dna and am half scottish and half English . a tiny bit of irish. Its funny because my kids are less scottish and almost half irish
    4
  2239. I'm a good mix of English and Scottish with slightly more Scottish ancestry. I'm a 4th generation male with hazel eyes on my father's side with my eyes being more green dominant after the 4th generation I do not know the eye colors. My mother's side is almost entirely made up of individuals with blue and grey eyes.

  2240. I am not a direct line descendant - my great grandmother was though. I grew up around her until I was about twenty years old and she was so very proud of that heritage. Her direct ancestor was Angus “macGhilleasbuig” (I probably spelled that wrong but, of Alexander?) of the Clan Ranald branch of the MacDonalds. He was born in Inverness-shire in 1821 but I think the family was originally from North Uist in the highlands and were possibly cleared - they ended up going to Nova Scotia to settle with so many others. His son in fact came a year or two after the main branch emigrated, as he had to finish an apprenticeship in Scotland before setting out. My great gram was from Glace Bay/Antigonish. She knew a little Scots Gaelic as I recall and told me… never to trust a Campbell. (Sorry, but what they did to my poor ancestors? Yikes 😅) On my maternal side one of my great-great grandmothers was a Campbell (Grace, of Donald Campbell and Catherine MacLean. Donald was born in Ontario in 1821, but his da was born in Scotland.) I don’t know their story, where they came from in Scotland, what drove them to the heart of upper Canada - but they were fairly early settlers to Martintown, Ontario. I also have MacDougall and MacIntyre, also from Nova Scotia but highland Scots. My mother in law is a Stewart. Her direct ancestor (Peter) was from Caputh in Perthshire born c. 1800. His son for whatever reason (it involved horse trading - or rustling!) ended up in Ireland. Their descendants also immigrated to America (1880’s/90’s)

  2244. A Douglas, A Douglas, My grandmother was a direct descendant of the male line of Sir James. She was first born but female so her younger brother carried the name and royal titles etc. My father was her second son and I am his second son. I can't even use a coat of arms, but were still more noble than those german impostors in London.

  2245. I have Hazel eyes I've been told told at times there green to light golden brown I thank God for them I've been blessed.

  2246. I am Spanish and discovered that I have 4% Irish ancestry through my DNA test. The interesting thing is that all my Irish DNA segments are connected to my Basque DNA on the Chromosomes. Could you shed any light on this? thank you
    4
  2247. So from what I can pull together this is still just a theory. A Game Theor-Nah JK,. But it is interesting when you think about it, all the details seem to add up, and Scythia would explain some stuff like possibly the comb on the Aberlemno stones. I wish we could go back in time and see for ourselves.

  2248. I loved this video! I am very interested in the myths and folk tales of celtic peoples. There is a great book on paralleling the myths of different cultures around the world to point to the same story, The Genesis 6 conspiracy by Gary Wayne. Thanks for your research! Do you have any more info on the druid's way of life?

  2249. I have 40% Scandinavian DNA part Danish and Norwegian due to Yorkshire and Highland Scotland family links ( Mackenzie ) and hand problem widespread in the Family .

  2251. Love your accent. It's as entertaining as the video (well done). I think you'd do great working in radio.

  2252. There are also indigenes in south america with blonde hair, which would be a 3rd time it evolved (even though some think it is due to an ancient connection between old and new world)

  2254. Any mention of Haplogroup X?

  2255. When i think of Scotland I do think of imperialism. The Stuarts made a union that was the UK's predecessor and the British Empire had English and Scottish colonies, Scottish descent armies, city building colonists, pioneers, governors, explorers, conquerors, missionaries, and other types of colonizers were as likely Scottish as English under the United Kingdom.
    4
  2256. No English now that's a thought

  2257. Great observations and info mate, the term was also widely used in Scottish pubs down the ages , the pub landlord would say tae a daftie “ your Bard “! to the reply of “ gee’s a break big man’ … sheer poetry, defo another wee Scottish connection to it , wha’s like us ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  2260. The Romans lost three legions in the Teutoberger Wald and didn`t try to cover it up - likewise with many earlier and later defeats. I can`t help thinking that if they had lost an entire legion in Britain we`d have heard something about it. Most interesting and enjoyable video - I`m subscribing!

  2265. I think the Spread of Giant Hogweed from Russia's Steppe across Europe may Coincidence with Scythian migration but i wonder how many other uses the plant had

  2266. informative and concise, thank you
    4
  2267. Love the Scottish accent! Maiden name is Kennedy, but I didn't know it was part of Clan Bruce, so thanks for info. An ancestor emigrated from Scotland to Ireland, then to Canada in the 1800s. My DNA has me 90% Scottish and Irish. I have green eyes, and 2 brothers have red hair. I have records back to Ireland, but having difficulty tracing descendants to Scotland. Would love to visit one day.
    4
  2268. It sounds like Hibernia would be a pushover. Maybe the Romans thought it wasn't enough of a challenge! Maybe they were busy elsewhere. The Romans didn't think anyone could overthrow them & Hibernia could wait till later when everything was securely theirs in Britainia & time was on their side. In my opinion judging by the speed at which they left britain it wasn't planned & by then hibernia was the 1 job left undone. Its hard for us to say at our distance. Most of what we know is what the romans did & where it was done. They believed in keeping roman cards close to Rome's chests. We dont know what they thought at the time.

  2269. I have blue eyes with a greenish-golden halo in the center. They seem to look quite green if viewed from a distance. My family has always called this “seafoam green.”

  2270. I wonder where my clan (YOUNG) came from. They lived along the Scottish/English border in the Middle Marches est. c. 1250

  2272. Its beautiful hair

  2273. It is possible that due to a lack of scientific proof about the origins of ancient occupants of this land, any likely candidates are put forward. Scythians are also a bit mysterious in some ways and when you add in the Arbroath material, you have a perfect situation for the legends to develop
    4
  2274. I find the subject facinating

  2275. My grandfather's Side had all blue and Brown eyes. My Mother and brother also has hazel eyes , they look like Gren eyed in the outdoor light. Some of my mothers uncles has blue eye and blonde hair , some of other uncles has japanese eye and very straight hair. l think hazel eye colour iş a co-dominant combination of blue and light Brown eye genome. Their paternal lineage belongs to caucasian Turks.

  2280. There is a large scholar community stuck in the dogma that Indo-European languages first arrived in Europe and British isles only with the Yamnaya inversion/migration. This hypothesis is not going to sit with them well. I do think proto Indo European is more ancient than Bronze Age due to the lack of common words in Indo European languages for metals such as copper, gold, bronze, etc. I look forward to reading the papers - particularly the one from 2021 in comments.

  2283. i was born in south wales, as was my father and grandfather. but my family came to south wales from wiltshire in 1850. my ancestor married a welsh women from cardinginshire, they settled in margam area, so my heritage is welsh.

    4
  2286. I was disappointed to find out recently that the Newgrange monument (the outside bit) is an early C20th reconstruction with almost no archaeological basis whatsoever; rather like Arthur Evans re-imagining of Knossos. Ever thought Knossos looked quite Art Deco, answer - Art Deco came first.
    4
  2287. The 3rd Cent. time line suggested for the Scythians being the first Picts does not work for me because the Brochs were already hundreds of years old. Maybe the Brochs were built by an earlier sea people!!!???
    4
  2288. I think all of the theories are true and are all intertwined. Perhaps it all started off as a sexually attractive trait, but since blue eyes might have been correlative with prosocial traits, it kept developing a tendency to prevail over other eye colors.

  2300. Could the rumoured ancestors of the Umrbians(The Ambrones Gaulic tribe) be the genetic intermediary by which the steppe ancestry was introduced into that of the Romans and the rest of Italics? Gauls/Celts are like a second wave steppe invasion result afaik. Also many many many Romans are described as having reddish golden hair, at least during the Republic.

  2302. Ey up Steven Goch! That means I was only two days off being born on Burns night! Forget Shakespeare…Rabbie is where it’s at. The lyrical value of the man was immense, many of his literature works were made into fantastic songs.

  2322. The name sounds too Romanised to me. Might be wrong here, but having the 'ae' at the end suggests the latin plural, so could well just be that's what the prevailing superpower of the time named them and it stuck. We know our ancestors in this part of the world didn't write stuff down, so it would've just been the Romans recording it. It could be a corruption of a local word for the loose tribe or a completely made up one by the Romans, who knows!

  2348. I have to wonder what the adaptive advantage would have been to make lactase persistence so common among Yamnaya people. People had been keeping cows for 7000ish years already, and were making cheese , even when they ostensibly could not digest the raw lactose. Simply the ability to eat milk products couldnt be the only driver .Yet. somehow this gene took off with well over 90% occurrence in many European populations. I also wonder if it could have simply been a founder effect associated with some collapse event, where it just happened that some of the survivors of some collapse event/plague happened to have lactase persistence and that is why it is so ubiquitous

  2355. Can you offer insight into the surname Armour? My 3rd great grandparents were born in Ireland but I have been told Armour is Scottish. I know I have other Scottish ancestry, McLeod, McDonald, and Morrison, but no Armour until Murdeena McDonald married David Jefferson Armour. Her mother was a Morrison who married a McDonald.

  2367. If I recall correctly, in or around the 10th/11th century Flemish settlers came as weavers to take advantage of the wool produced in Wales. I found ancestors from Wales in my family tree. They were Normans, or at least French who came with the Normans and settled in Wales and seemed to blend in with the population. Bryant was the surname that made it to Virginia colony in the 17th century

Somehow through my Broadway/MacDonald of the Isle's connection. I know. Broadway is Saxon, I'm not quite sure what my Grandmother "Murdock" was thinking. LOL. As an American with limited abilities, computer wise, that is. Where do I even begin to look for this historical connection. And tracing any Gallowglass warriors I may be related to?

  2376. My maiden name is Wilson. I think the Wilsons were originally from Cumbria pre 1064. My married name is Finniss (Finnis) linked to the Norman invasion of England in 1066. In the Finniss family the Scottish Barclays are linked to the Finniss family through marriage. No matter where you are in the world, there will be a Scot. I live in South Africa. I have travelled Scotland and it is a beautiful country. Lang may yer lum reek!

  2382. The flood of Noah (and Gilgamesh) are likely referring to glacial melt water and sea level rise. The destruction in a day of Atlantis is more likely a tsunami from a meteor strike. The meteor that took out the dinosaurs was thought to generate a 1500 foot waves over the Gulf of Mexico (much bigger than identified 12,000 years ago). But a shallow angle strike of a small asteroid would create a giant wave without much other lasting damage.

  2395. My hair, as well as my mother, great grandfather are reddish blonde like you. We are of Celtic, Scottish, Scandinavian & German ancestry.

  2396. Seems to me, Bede clearly described the Picts as patrilinear with the exception of rare cases of disputes around kingship. He also described the Picts as keen to mix with locals. Perhaps the authors of the research article had some dubious prior assumptions.

  2404. I wonder where these Celts originally came from? The Balkans? Southern France? Great editing work btw.

  2405. You can also have incomplete dominance of the MC1R gene to produce a red combination. A good example would be the young Robert Redford, who had light blond hair and a red beard. I was in the same boat with a darker golden blond that turned chestnut brown. My mother and maternal grandmother had red hair, so I doubtless have one allele. I mentioned before on this channel the curious case of the Old West figure Wild Bill Hickok. Contemporary descriptions mention gray eyes, red hair, and a blond beard. This must be the result of incomplete dominance in a combination that is exceedingly rare.

  2412. Cheers mate for all the great points. Halloween as we know it today is a distinctly American invention combining Catholic, Celtic (Samhain) and Roman (Pomona) traditions. It is an amalgamation of these three influences, but most heavily influenced by Samhain, as New Englanders were mostly from the British Isles. The Victorians used their wonderful imaginations and knack for revisionist history to conjure up all manner of activities and games, mostly focused on divination for youths. I believe all of our ancient festivals were simply born of necessity, a way to get through the harsh months together as a tribe. To party, to remember why we work so hard, to stay connected and to stay warm. We've lost that continuity and purpose. I appreciate how history brings us back to ourselves.

  2417. Hi, I did a short essay looking at the clearances recently and another factor that contributed to the destruction the clan system was the spread of the industrial revolution. New industries pulled young highlanders away from their clans with the promise of more profitable work, further weakening the clans as their most productive members left while breaking the old family ties which held the clans together. While not a factor of imposed oppression like the actions of the English, the industrial revolution added to the speed and severity of the break down of clan life.

  2431. I have Norse-Gael ancestry, and it is my earliest recorded ancestry which wasn't too much a surprise to me. But now I know this fact, and when I hear a Scottish accent, I can hear a little bit of Norwegian... an echo of the distant past and this intermingling of cultures

  2432. Years ago National Geo magazine came out with an edition on the Scythian treasures uncovered during the time of Peter the Great (singular reign from 1696 to 1725). The workmanship and design of much of the gold is similar to Irish designs seen in their illuminated manuscripts from the early Christian era and designs found on grave goods from the earlier Bronze and Iron ages. The mounds in the region of Russia where the treasures were taken from are remarkably similar to mound burials in Britain, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. A unique view of the world and the artwork most defintely influenced the Celtic (Scythian?) tribes from the La Tene era in Switzerland and Austria. The homeland of the elites of the Scythian peoples, the royal and warrior tribes (similar to the caste system in India of ancient times where the Kings came from the warrior class) was in the present day Ukraine according to several ancient Greek historians and the records of Alexander the Great's conquests. There they controlled sea trade and the best grazing lands. The early cycles of mythology that chronicle the Ulster cycle mention chariots and war outfittings much like those uncovered in the burials. Warlords/chieftans in northern Ireland claimed ancestry to the tribes of Scotland and they regularly fought beside each other in loose alliances. Finally, the mention of the love of law by the Scythians from Alexander's time clearly shows a correlation between the peoples of Scythia and the 'Scots' - an ancient term for Ireland and that region of Scotland - where Brehon law prevailed. There is much truth in myth now being proven by DNA research.

  2437. Hello Steven. Thank you for the lesson. While I do have Scottish ethnicity, my paternal name Cathcart, may have it's roots in Breton. In 1178 a Rainald de kethcert, changed over time to Cathcart, witnessed charter along with Walter Fitz-Allan giving land to the Abbey in Paisley. Our branch of the Cathcart tree moved to Clogmills in county Antrim in the 1700's. My great great grand father followed his two older brothers here to South Carolina in the US in1813. My brother had DNA test done when they first started. The result was 100% Northwestern European. Now what does this have to with Viking origin ? I have Dupuytren's Contracture in each hand. My brother's do. My father did as did his father. Knowing your family's history can be very beneficial. Best Wishes

  2444. My mother comes from clan Lamont. I have done quite a bit of family history. My grandfather Lamont could name his clan chiefs. They came from Skye. My 4th great grandfather, Murdoch Buie Lamont was born circa 1725 in Valtos, on the East side of the Isle of Skye, in the district of Trotternish. He was son of John Lamont, and John was noted to be living in Valtos in 1733. Family historian William Dawson Lamont said of Murdoch Buie Lamont, that "he is said to have built boats and violins. He must have been an interesting character, as he joined the unofficial contingent which followed Bonnie Prince Charlie in the '45. This would place his birth at perhaps 1725, surely not later than 1730. The name of his wife is unknown, and we have no information of children other than Malcolm." Murdoch's son Malcolm Lamont emigrated to Prince Edward Island in 1829, and he was accompanied by his nephew Murdoch Lamont, so we know for certain, that Murdoch Buie Lamont had at least one other son on Skye. As for "Buie", Murdoch's middle name, this points to the probability that Buie was his mother's maiden name. If so, than she would no doubt have come from the Isle of Colonsay, where the name is common, being spelled in various different fashions, Bue, Buie, Bowie, etc. In days gone by, it was traditional for Scottish boys to "Name their Chief". This meant memorizing by heart, the names of all their ancestors before them, and how they were related to their chief. Consequently, Murdoch Buie Lamont learned that he was son of John, son of Duncan, son of Donald, son of Murdoch, son of Duncan, son of Kenneth Lamont. Fortunately for modern genealogy, this tradition was kept alive by the descendants of Murdoch Buie Lamont, and the descendants of the Lamonts who emigrated to the new world still know their ancestery by heart, even today."

  2445. Thanks for pursuing this issue of early genetic replacement. I'm with the proto-Celtic theory here, in terms of DNA, regarding BB people. The rest, for me. is cultural (technology and art) development rather than much migration. Same probably holds true for the Anglo-Saxon incursions except in eastern England where it seems to be a genetic replacement. Interesting that someone else is edging towards a viral plague theory.

  2446. My mother’s maiden name is Bain, and we have traced them back to North Carolina when they arrived from Scotland after the highland clearances. Unfortunately it has not been easy finding more information back in Scotland. My father’s side of the family however, my surname, we’ve been able to trace back to Galloway prior to their time in the Ulster plantation. Both sides fought in the American revolution however, so they’ve been here quite a while now.

  2457. Food for thought. My own DNA says around 93% Scandinavian and 7% Finnish. My mother is Danish (her father from the west coast of Jutland, her mother from Vendsyssel, top of Jutland), my father is Norwegian, and his mother - in particular - is a descendant of Forest Finns, who immigrated from Finland to Sweden and Norway 4-500 years ago. Could be interesting to know how much Jamnaya and how much original European I am. Nevertheless I'm 100 percent Nordic in today's terms.

  2469. I’m Auburn with dark blue navy eyes, olive fair skin. So my grandmother was Irish and then there’s more Irish on my mums side, she has a pale freckled skin, and was auburn when younger, so I’m English with a lot of Irish and a little Welsh from my Gt grandad . Very interesting.

  2470. Fascinating. Thanks.

  2471. There may have been a selective advantage to having blue eyes, but the ultimate reason that blue eyes exist is because of a random mutation that could have occurred anywhere at any time.
    4
  2472. Interesting stuff... but its equally important to consider how the scythians were described by the Greeks and Persians and the Chinese... they are European looking with Red and Blonde hair and blue eyes in the sources... perhaps the east Asian element is from some intermarriage form western scythians with Turkic peoples in the east (certainly some Mongolians have blonde hair - although that may have arisen separately...)

  2473. You got some good genetics 🎉

  2474. Had dark brown hair (now snow white), but have a red-haired daughter and several "ginger" cousins. My daughter has a red-haired son and a red-haired daughter. Our ancestry - and that of our partners - were mostly Scottish, Irish and Scandinavian.

  2477. There is a tradition that Caradoc, when taken captive to Rome along with his royal clan, after giving his famous speech to the senate, converted to Christianity and his descendants, when returning to Britain became the first Christian monarchs of Britain. The British high king Lleufer Mawr making Christianity the official religion of the British in the 2nd century.

  2483. My paternal great grandmother is from clan McLaren. Planning on visiting Scotland next year
    4
  2484. I think that king Arthur is a fictional character crafted by fusing together different parts of older kings of Britain and even one roman general. Geoffrey of Monmoth clearly was inspired to create the character of king Arthur by bits of vaguely understood welsh heroes from the ancient past and molded them together into a single character whether he did this intentionally or mistakenly is unclear.

  2485. definitely had them, probably their last refuge before Christian take over

  2486. Any idea why Irish are not showing in league table of those with yamnaya dna, also Norway seems too high, they have 89% r1, R1b and R1b whilst Scotland and Ireland have 90% R1b and presumably R1a on top of that as well?
    4
  2487. As far as I know there is a high prevalence of R1b in early (medieval and earlier) Irish genes, with a later overlay of Norse, then Anglo-Irish.

  2491. According to Ancestry DNA results it says I'm 100 percent United Kingdom except for a trace of Northwestern Europe. One female gr-gr-grandma from Germany. I imagine there are a lot like me even though several of my folks came over in the 17th and 18th century with a few in the 16th.
    4
  2492. Great video; I think that even if they were wiped out by an enemy force or forces there would be some record or oral history of that happening. I understand Rome erased histories of events they didn't like (much like the Russians have done too), but there should be something pointing to that occurrence. Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

  2493. @Celtic History Decoded It's important to keep in mind that "Turkey" as an entity didn't come into existence until fairly recently, and that Turks are not indigenous to Anatolia. Difference Turkic groups migrated into the Armenian Highlands/Anatolia around 1,000 years ago and the genetic similarities that may exist between modern Turks and the ancient peoples of Anatolia are due to events of ethnic cleansing that took place in which large numbers of the indigenous populations (mainly Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, and Kurds) were victims of forced pregnancy or adoption into Turkish families. If you want to look for Celtic roots in Anatolia, start with these people instead rather that those who identify as Turks. For example, I am half Armenian from central Anatolia and half from Western Scotland/Northern Ireland (trace to Dál Riata). My DNA presents as two forms of the same haplogroup, the older version coming from Anatolia (Armenian) and the newer coming from the Celtic groups that settled around the Irish Sea.

  2497. The double disc looks like a double ended crescent wretch to me . All joking aside they seem like a creative as well as industrious culture, not unlike other IE societies. They definitely had their own style, which I really like. It’s probably solar, moon and wheel symbolism. I really like how some of these ancient cultures seemed to have thought of innovation, the natural world and Gods / deities, or God as one. We need more of that in our modern world. Thank you for the video, I always enjoy your work.
    4
  2498. My paternal grandfather was from a large family, and historically from Scotland . The family came to America several hundred years ago. There were 14 children in the family, 7 red heads and 7 brunettes. The frequency, unfortunately, did not occur in subsequent generations.
    4
  2499. Then you realize that in Latin, the letters G and C were the same because originally the Romans didn't distinguish between the two sounds. Then you realize that the *Galatai (a Celtic tribe) were also calling themselves "Celts" in their own language, and likewise those who named their land *Galicia, and those who name their ancestors *Gaels. In other words, not only did they call themselves "Celts" in the past, but some of them never STOPPED calling themselves "Celts" either.

  2500. Maybe starting in middle school in my stream of conscious doodles I'd do, I did a reoccurring symbol. Id draw it in corners of pages and binders. I thought i made it up until in my late 20s I came across a picture of a pictish "z rod". I got goosebumps because it was exactly what I had drawn as a kid. That started my interest in the picts.

  2501. Nice short video on this subject keep it up as always my friend

  2502. I like the story of the giants from Ireland who brought Stonehenge, (Cor y Cewri- Choir of the Giants), to Britain.

  2503. As a hazel-eyed Portuguese guy I kind of hate how there seems to be so much confusion and conflicting information regarding what constitutes hazel eyes, and who has them 😆. A little while back I decided to really delve into the matter to try to figure it out for myself and I'm pretty confident the examples and descriptions given in your video at the 0:33, and 1:20 marks are correct. The image on the right side of the two examples shown at the 0:33 mark is the same color combination or ratio, and pattern of my own eyes.
    4
  2504. My brain needs this explained with pictures 😅 I think I get it
    4
  2505. Myself and my children of course😊 are descendants of kings and warriors from the Viking Age. At least my eyes are turquoise and blonde hair as a child, so it's brown blonde now. At least one son has an odd eye color. turquoise eyes with a brown stripe around the iris.

  2507. I love this content. Thabks sir!

  2508. My ancestry is almost equally split between English, Irish and Scottish, with a bit of Norse thrown in. I don't think that is untypical for England, it is simply the percentages that vary. The Germanic presence in modern England goes back much further than 450 AD. Most of the auxiliary troops manning Hadrian's Wall during the Roman administration were Germanic, such as the Tungrians. Many other Germanic people had already settled in southern England before the end of the direct Roman administration of Britannia in 410 AD, probably as foederati troops. The Saxon Advent of 450 AD onwards was most likely a more intense continuation of that process.

  2509. They do not descend from WHG as Western Europeans. In addition, the climate there is not damp, but cruel cold, where, on the contrary, narrow eyes are needed.

  2510. Dude I'm obsessed with deep history, I've got Cumbrian roots and live in Wales, do you think you could do a video about the Strathclyde Welsh at some point, I know there isn't much information about the cumbric culture but would be great to see your take on it, anyway really enjoy your work mate. Thankyou.

  2511. Clan Grant here. Inverness Grants. Originally LeGrant from France. Thanks for your work on clans. Your accent is wonderful.

  2512. I think it would be hard task to argue that the Scots/Picts originated from central Asia...However, it could be a dim recollection of the Bellbeaker people movements from east to west circa 2500-2000BC, of which the proto-celts eventually formed. Another possibility is that it relates to long lost contact between the Scythians and Picts. We know that Britain was in communication with the eastern Mediterranean via the Tin trade and in 7th century BC we are told that the Scythians conquered the levant coast.

  2515. In the Italic Peninsula are some old tribes that have origine from Illyrian (Albania). They are located in North, Middle and South. Also in Sardenia and in Corsica. Further more some conection exist between Illyrians and Basques and also Celtics.
    4
  2516. just an anecdote, I have Iberian ancestry, and on ftDNA I'm 62% farmer, yet my Y haplogroup is R1b. The other ancient population percents are 29% hunter gatherer, and 10% metal age invader. This more or less keeps in line with the data about the Iberian peninsula, but like much of Southern Europe, there's a lot of shared farmer it seems.

  2530. Great information thank you!
    4
  2531. I see everyone else doing it, I’m half english the rest is German, Norwegian, and Polish. But my haplogroup is N-L550 so i guess way back when an Estonian/Finnish ancestor of mine was running around up there

  2532. I have hazel eyes. They have a brown center with a light green edges and flecks of gold and a dark green limbal ring. My father had blue eyes, my mother had brown eyes and my brothers have brown eyes. I'm the only one in my family with hazel eyes. My children have brown eyes. Their father has brown eyes.

  2537. Castle of my ancestors. I decend from Robert Keith 3rd Baron of Keith and two of his daughters: Lady Janet Keith Lyon wife of Lord John Lyon both of whom are also ancestors to Queen Elizabeth and King Charles. The other daughter Lady Elizabeth Keith Gordon wife of George Gordon 4th Earl of Huntly and High Chancellor of Scotland. I believe Robert Keith was killed at Flodden field. Thanks for the video mate.

  2538. Modern Welsh 'hil' means 'race or race of people'. The initial H in Welsh used to be S. Riau is an older word meaning Kings. O = Of. Silures likely meant 'The Race/People of Kings'.

  2543. Very interesting. We need to know that the ancient world has a complicated multifaced art style, not only does it has one image but several. Here in North Carolina We have a site that is preserved in red clay and have discovered photo realistic portraits of human beings painted on crystals. We’re putting together the symbols and repeating patterns. What’s fascinating is the charred wooden club and a wooden bow we found has the same art on it 🤷 great presentation thanks for the lecture

  2546. As a chap whose Grandfather left Ireland because the opportunities for him were so poor,but to see that just a century before normal working class people in the highlands of scotland, lost their homes and their family groups split up all for profit and the 'cash crop' of the day sheep is just terrible.

  2549. Well that was enlightening! We shouldn't believe the 'publicity' that's fed to us. Is similar information available about the Picts? Height, bone structure, true natural skin colour eye colour? It is it too general, ie like a lot of races; they were a mix!
    4
  2550. My maternal haplo group is from yamnaya culture. I’m about 97% Eastern European and 2% Finnish. And I’m the second tallest female in our family - whooping 163cm! 😆😆😆 Well, probably the third now since my daughter is about 166cm tall

  2553. My hazel-eyed Indian grampa's mom was half Irish, half Indian. She had deep green eyes and long, wavy reddish brown hair. Her father was from County Mead, a huge Irishman, with deep green eyes, long, thick, fiery red hair and beard. He was known as Big Red Connelly. I have chocolate brown eyes, but I'm told they turn deep blue when I'm extremely angry. Or sad. Interesting 🤔

  2554. Fun fact. Portuguese people even today often refer to themselves as "Lusitanos"
    4
  2555. Galicia might have a high percent of African ancestry because of the Spanish Inquisition, which dispersed Christian converts of Muslim heritage. Spanish Jews, for example, fled to Portugal and Spanish America.
    4
  2556. I have R1B U152, and my family “Suter” immigrated to the US in the 1700s from either Switzerland or Baden Württemberg. All of the video info makes sense. As an aside, 23andMe has me at 92% Germanic and 8% British, with brown hair and hazel eyes. Thanks for all the detailed information!
    4
  2557. I was born and raised in Italy but according to a DNA test I am 9% Iberian and 14% North African/Sephardic, which probably counts as part Spanish as well.
    4
  2558. Funny story. I live in the middle of the country (USA) and was working at a radio station when 2 men walk in. The were friendly and nice to speak to. I asked where they were from. They said, Scotland. I told them my dad was Scottish. They asked what the last name was. I said Campbell. They became very upset so I ask then why. They told me they were from the McDonald clan. They left, and I laughed shacking my head. Talk about a long grudge. His fore father came over in the early 1800s from Scotland, Ireland, Canada to the US.
    4
  2559. This is the kind of discussion I was looking forward to after seeing the movie, one that gets to the symbolism and metaphor in the film...and I think there's so much more. Thanks for the review...curious about your other videos now 🤔

  2560. My Grandfather was 1st born American, his parents were Martin & Mason from Edinburg & Glasgow, his mother Moodie, Sinclair, Muir from the Orkneys. Female lines markers would be nice to research. I also have some that have been in the US since the 1600s McEldowney, McCaskey, Van Dever, Cochran....

  2561. Great research work!

  2562. ​@PaulEcosse It could be a very ancient link. Remember that most Eurasians have inherited some Neanderthal Genes yet no Y-DNA and MtDNA from them. There is an Ancient Late Paleolithic/Mesolithic Sample of a Man with the so called "Celtic Curse" Hemochromatosis and he was Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b. He lived not far from the Ural mountains in the Samara region. The Udmurts in the Perm region basically borders that region, so it could be an Ancient connection. The sample is (MN2003). He was also lighter in skin, hair and eye colour than the other samples of that area...

  2569. Regarding hair color, the Irish had two names for invaders, finngaill and dubgaill meaning fair and dark foreigners. Some scholars have hypothesized that dubgaill foreigners were from Denmark and the finngail were from Norway. Interesting to think about.
    4
  2570. Funny how you start talking about blonde hair and show a bleach blonde. I am a redhead and can attest to the high pain tollerance, high threshold for pain meds, but I do tan easily (probably due to my mother being a 304). I also am Rh negative so how my body processes toxins and pain killers is also quite different than most of the population.

  2571. Good reading of the film and worthwhile information

  2572. I have seen the ancient map of Sardinia and one of the places of Sardinia is called Alalia, it is a Georgian word, there were Iberians, and there is also a megalithic building, which proves that the Iberian people were in Sardinia. There is folk music too

  2573. Interesting to learn about the Scythians as well as the Celtic lingua franca which developed in the west amongst the trades people.

    4
  2580. Absolutely! It was the British government, these were British troops, with perhaps six Campbells among the over one hundred troops stationed there. Thank you. I am a descendant of both clans. To present this is as clan incident, and not as an attack authorized by the authorities in London and carried out by those in Edinburgh and the like, is a bigger disservice to the MacDonalds than it is to the Campbells. The MacDonalds were right not to trust mainland kings and their governments, be them kings of scots or British imperials.

  2581. Its an interesting question. I dont really think the people of Scotland today are related to Scythians. I think this came from the idea in the bible that the Scythians were related to one of the lost tribes of Israel. In the middle ages it was seen as important and gave people, especially of royal descent, great prestige, to describe themselves as being descended from people who came from the holy land. The land or people that Jesus came from. People of the bible. When the declaration of Arbroath was written, it included a letter asking the pope for his recognition of the legitimacy of Robert the Bruce as the rightful heir to the Scottish throne, and Scotland to be recognised as an independent country. If the pope agreed to this, (which he did) then it was hard for anyone to disagree with it. To help put forward their point, and argue Scotlands case, a long list of kings in a line of descent was given, which went way back beyond the first king of Scotland , Kenneth MacAlpine. It names lots of supposed kings going back to a line of Scythian kings. I dont think there is any real evidence of these names being really connected to Scotland, or if these people really existed. This was done to show how legitimate, and also how holy the line was. It was meant to show the Scottish line of decent goes back to the holy land. Scotland was not the only country to do this at the time. Lots of other royal lines claimed to show descendants from the lost tribes of Israel, and other people in the holy land and bible. They did it to give them more legitimacy, and so their kings could say they were ordained by God.

  2590. Not got much to add really but I’m from the Scottish Highlands and completely understand why the Romans never conquered Scotland due to the weather, mountainous landscape and guerrilla warfare…but never understood what happened with Ireland, a country that was rich in resources…I’m sure Rome would have had wanted a piece of this.

  2604. I am a Stewart/Bruce decendant. Uthred is an ancestor of Robert the Bruce thru his mother Marjorie of Carrick. I'm also a Neville decendant which are also decendants of Uthred. I would assume most of the major royal houses in Scotland and England are his decendants. Interesting fact is the St. Bertha of Kent, a decendant of Clovis King of the Frank's, had children that married into the Northumbrian royal houses. Therefore, the merovigian line of decent came into the royal house of Northumbria and later on into the royal houses of England and Scotland. Nobody has ever made the connection. Look into it. Make a video?? Lol

  2605. It’s amazing what connections we’ve made through both recent DNA discoveries and cultural research. Basically what my father said to me about our ancient history through oral traditions rings true

  2606. I have green eyes, when i was younger i was a blonde (My daughter was a blonde with greenish blue eyes and my granddaughter is a blonde with blue eyes) i also tanned very good when i was young, as i got older my hair turned a bit darker and it's naturally curly, according to genome i am 66% part of Scandinavian Vikings, my DNA on ancestry is 46% Germanic, and 27% Sweden and Denmark and 6% Norway.

  2607. Hi Ste. Interesting video. I just bought a 50 year old isle of Lewis chess set, it’s said the original was found on the island, and that someone dug it up, it’s apparently originally from Norway, Vikings, but no one knows how it got there! Must of buried it after the pillaging lol

  2609. Light hair and eyes are common in the middle east to India depending on tribe/ location. Scandinavians are not the only people with light eyes. My familiy traces it's ancient ancestry to Persia. Blue to brown eyes, red to deep black hair, light skin to very dark skin.

  2614. My mom is a Hamilton…I love their clan tartan pattern so much that I wear a hat and shirt in that pattern…it defines me and makes me proud. My dad’s surname is Spencer and that’s English Norman I think. According to what I’ve read..clan Hamilton and the Spencer family ( I assume they weren’t a clan since they were English ) …didn’t like each other very much …and ironically one Hamilton man had murdered a Spencer man in a dispute and had to run for his life…and he went into hiding by pretending to be a lumberjack felling an oak tree ! 🪓🌳lol They never caught him ! lol Every clan has a story or legend…so interesting!

  2622. My father's mother was born in Scotland, so no Y haplogroup, and none of the clans mentions are surnames in my Scottish branches. My father's father was born in England, so my father's Y haplogroup is R-S764.
    4
  2623. As a McCaffrey, I thought I was mostly Irish. Then I studied all four of my grandparents parents surnames only to find out I’m mostly Scottish and Viking. I have McCaffrey(Irish), Campbell(Scottish/Viking), Gilmore(Scottish/Viking), MacLaren(Scottish), McCosker(Irish), MacIver(Scottish/Viking), Perkins(Saxon/Norman), and Stewart(Scottish).

  2624. Another great one my friend Calgacos surely an example to all three britons and Celts. It is worth pondering not only weather or not this battle happened. But that if it did was it truly a Roman victory? It doesn't explain why a victorious army who devastated an enemy would retreat to a secure frontier and then throw up a fixed fortification such as hadrians wall. Anyone who doubts that rome purposely omits its losses should look into their wars with kush or for a more local example there conflicts with the Silurian tribe in Wales

My three sisters and I were very happy to visit Dumfries and see the home where he grew up, and admire the beauty surrounding it.

  2650. I have hazel eyes; they are green with grey rims. Further, if hit with a bright flash of light, they fluoresce. The effect is frankly scary to observers. Looks like a bad horror movie.

  2663. I think the Welsh and the Irish were, in the beginning, the same people. I believe they sojourned up from the Basque people of Spain, just like Bede said. But thousands of years ago, the British Isles was still connected to Europe, so they didn't boat over, they walked to the new land and settled in. As ice caps melted further up north, the land mass began to flood, creating the Celtic Sea, & English Channel, and causing the British Isles to separate from Europe. And lastly, the Irish Sea separating the two groups: Irish on one side, the Welsh on the other. Only God knows exactly how they first arrived, but one thing for sure, at some time in the distant past, the British Isles were not isles at all, but was connected to the European land mass.

  2669. Clicked out of curiosity because I have green eyes. I was taught that they’re caused by a mutation on blue eyes, though this might be oversimplified. I’m grateful for my green eyes though. My mother has really pale blue eyes and she struggles to open her eyes in certain bright conditions. I seem to be able to tolerate bright lights better.

  2683. I heard one story about an apprentice druid having to consume magic mushrooms , become submerged in a barrel of water with only his nostrils showing to allow breathing , lid shut in darkness for a day and when freed having to give his teacher some profound insight straight away . This practice of isolation , mushrooms and insight continued in Scotland with folk going to mountains and having only an animal hide as comfort against the elements .
    3
  2684. Can you please do a video on true green eyes and the prevalence of lipochrome in specific genetic communities, or has there not been much research in this vein yet? I know hazel eyes do contain some melanin and so are a combination really, but true green eyes are associated with this other pigment and seem to correlate with the major places blue eyes are found. I know green eyes are considered “blue” scientifically, but have never seen much about communities being linked specifically to lipochrome.

  2685. Before I turned gray, my head hair was golden blonde but my beard was very red. I’m not sure whether that makes me a redhead or not.

He always hated bright light when he was younger, and still on occasion covers his eyes when the light levels are a certain brightness...even refusing to go outside in the summer on some occasions at nursery. It never occurred to me until after watching this video that this could be the reason why!

    3
  2741. I have hazel eys that have gold, green and blue in them with brown flecks/freckles

  2742. I believe light skin and blue eyes are more of an evolutionary fluke that just happened to be convenient, but not essential.

  2756. Its a quirk of genetic science but I always find it frustrating that mtDNA only passes through the maternal line after the second generation and is so limited in variety compared to Y-chromosomes. Imagine how much more we would know about female migration if that limitation was gone. I guess that as we already can't cope with making much sense of convoluted male DNA migration it might save us from a further headache.

  2758. Period descriptions of the Old West character Wild Bill Hickok mention gray eyes, red hair and a blond beard. The photography technology of the day has left him looking deceptively swarthy.

  2778. Mother had hazel eyes and ancestry from Ireland, England Scotland, Wales. Father had grey eyes and German and English ancestry. I have a sibling with hazel eyes, brown dominant. They're light brown with gold flecks. My eyes are hazel, green dominant. Specifically green with light brown and gold flecks. I never knew what color to write for eye color because my eye color seemed to change from green to brown depending on the light, mood, and color clothes I'm wearing. Since my sibling hat eyes are what most people traditionally considered hazel, I put green on my license. After all, how can we have different color eyes and yet labeled the same on our license?

  2782. Hello from the USA (Kansas) I hope you do more of these but some on the southern lowlands. My family name was Johnston and here in this country a number of Johnstons dropped the "t". I've read that in the lowlands it wasn't that uncommon to say Johnson when it was spelled Johnston. I've also read that only in Canada and here is the spelling of Johnstone pronounced John stone where over there it was either Johnston or Johnson. Keep up the good work.

  2785. I have hazel eye, but they have turned blue, green, Grey, and gold. One girl described my eye color in the most unique way ever. She called them Golden Azure. The gold is from the gold ring at the center of each eye. Somehow, both my kids got my eye color, even though momma has deep brown eyes. One kid has a dull gold ring in their eyes, while the other has a near platinum ring in their eyes.

My younger Brother has done the Big Y 722 test and we are Scottish lowlanders, but I am certain that we have Basque blood as my late Paternal Grandfather looked Basque, short stocky build, very dark brown hair and a swarthy complexion, he and his Brother looked like twins and they both looked like their father. My Father also had the same characteristics and we have predominantly blue or green eyes. Thank you.

  2808. I am a MacMillan. My forefather was buried in North Carolina. I saw his grave. For one reason or another, he moved to America after the Battle of Culloden, and lived in a Hebridean Scots community in NC. He fought as a private in the navy during the Revolution, against the crown. His family eventually followed a scots migration to Texas, where they fought indians and worked cattle ranches, logging, and later oil. I've seen the records of my MacMillan side - all the men married Scots American women. Love my ancestors.

I've always liked the color of my hair and I think it makes me more attractive, not less. I've never experienced any abuse because of the color of my hair. And I am not silver yet.

  2816. My first viewing one of your vids. Very interesting and well organized, although one must have a good knowledge of genetics to get the most out of it., which I do. Moving on to more of your vids. I am from USA, and now live in Portugal. I am fascinated with the history and ancestry of Portugal and Europe as a whole, as I am genetically European. Ancestry currently says I am 34% England and NW Europe, 31% Ireland, 21% Germanic, etc. It has been changing as more data comes in. I always assumed I was mostly German by my parents and grandparents birthplaces? My surname is German. Thanks a million!

  2817. Hazel eyes here - for me it's a soft green with a hint of blue, then more amber-green towards the iris with some actual brown surrounding a third of each iris. My eyes shift bluish if I wear the right blue, but usually sage or olive green end up being the colors that make my eyes pop the most. Heritage-wise, I am German and Polish American mostly and am pretty pale, using the second-lightest color of foundation for makeup. Oddly, my hair color is medium brown with light reflecting more auburn than blond, but my eyebrows and eyelashes are darker.

  2826. What regional Scottish accent do you have, sir? I don’t think it’s a lowland accent. Could you be from the highlands? Your brogue is so strong! My maternal grandfather’s direct ancestor, last name of Swafford, emigrated from Scotland to North America (North Carolina) in the 1700s and wound up fighting in the American Revolution shortly after he got here. I wonder if he was forced out of Scotland. I do believe he came from the northern tip of the country. So interesting! Anyway, he wound up becoming a pioneer in Tennessee (Bledsoe County in the Southeast), which is where he died and many generations of Swaffords still live there today.

  2831. Thank you for explaining the film, because although I noticed the old woman popping up, and I thought she she could foretell the future and I knew they were afraid of her, I didn't understand why the man cutting off his fingers was so extreme. I didn't understand and still don't why he changed overnight. I was glad that the sister got away from, because there was really nothing there for her. I wondered if the young boy slipped into the water or there was some mischief.

  2845. Yeap, more Bible bashers and racists turning up to the party. You put out a vlog about how diverse the British Isles are genetically and all they see is a reflection of their own beliefs. I'm still fascinated by the lack of WHG genes remaining, agree that Britain was probably very sparsely populated before the Anatolian farmers turned up; although I'm hedging my bets and stating that genetics does not denote lifestyle and the R1b's could have turned to a semi-hunter-gatherer lifestyle in Europe as well. I'm not convinced of a genetic cowboys versus sod-buster scenario. Romans - just so genetically diverse across the Empire that finding a genetic fingerprint in Britain is nigh impossible. Roman soldiers were not officially allowed wives for the first couple of centuries of the Empire, but I can't see that 'local marriages' or more temporary relationships didn't happen; we've probably all got a bit of Parthian merchant or North African cavalryman knocking about our back catalogue ... even for those claiming purely 'British' ancestry !

  2871. Fascinating. I love DNA and researching and watching your shows plus history. I did my dna 4 times! My paternal side R1b L21. My dads mom was H2 with the name Stretton. They were Irish. My genetics from 4 companies vary that I would estimate my dad to be at least over 68 Irish, 24 percent British and at least 10 percent North German and Scandinavian. My moms side being Italian. She was u1a that I like to think it came from the caucuses and Anatolia and spread through Greece to Italy. I never was able to get my moms brothers dna. I do believe my mom was 50 percent Southern Italian 12 percent Tuscan region area. 25 percent Eastern Mediterranean mainly Greek Western Anatolian. I like to feel Bronze Age Greek and the colonization of Southern Italy to the Roman empire! 2 to 3 percent goes back to Eastern Anatolian to the Caucuses that they migrated westward! I had 1.2 Arab making my Mom possibly 2 percent plus and my grandmother born in Sicily having 4 percent in North Central Sicily. My mom had French and Alpine Italian up to 8 percent. Britain I feel connected somehow to the Southwest. I lived in England for years. Love Scotland. I sometimes have an imagination feeling I live in Roman Britain in a villa my dad was descendant of Celtic Chiefs being romanized and my mom came from Civil Servants or merchants from the Greco Roman world! Fun to imagine! My imagination can go wild!

  2875. Interesting, I'm 70% Scandanavian and have grey eyes.❤

  2876. Again, thank you for the lesson. My thoughts on eye color derive from the steppe migration. There are blue eyed people in Georgia and the greater Caucasus area. Also in Afghanistan and the Ural mountains of Siberia. The early migrations that formed the Corded Ware people and the Bell Beaker people are probably the source of lighter eye color. From what I have read, green eye coloring is even less prevalent than blue. THERE AIN'T NOTHING IN THE WORLD AS PRETTY AS A GREEN EYED GIRL. THE END.

I also think that the Atlanteans spoke a Semitic/Afroasiatic language, which according to the linguist Theo Vennemann was a substrate for Celtic languages. I made two videos (in Italian) about this topic!

  2884. So called "viking raids" took place several years before the sacking of Lindisfarne. There has been found remnants and graves in Estonia, Finland and Russia implicating that raids took place perhaps 50-100 years before Lindisfarne. I believe the reason to use Lindisfarne is that this was a christian target and it was recorded. Presumably writing was not so widespread in the northern part of eastern europe or the region was already an unruly region at the time. So viking raids was no different than usual internal strifes.

  2892. Very interesting video that explains well influences on Irish DNA, in fact I'd love more detail on this Irish DNA Atlas research. One thing I didn't realise, and isn't that obvious, especially to those with just modern knowledge of Ireland and the state of affairs on the island would be to think that because of the proximity to Scotland Ulster would have more Scottish (even though the name Scotland actually comes from an Irish tribe, the Scotia). Obviously there was the Kingdom of the Dal Riata that existed between the 5th and 9th centuries that contained the North East Antrim coast and the West coast of Scotland, but after the Norman invasion of Ireland with the backing of Henry II, with Strongbow (the military leader not the cider) Ulster was the province that remained the most under the control of the Irish clans and kept their language and customs. This is why when it was subdued and finally conquered it was planned, first privately in Counties Antrim and Down in the time of Elizabeth I, and then latterly in the other counties of Ulster in the reign of James I was a way to reward his Scottish supporters with new lands and as a way to remove some troublesome sheep raider families from the border regions of England and Scotland, but before this time it was the most Gaelic of all the Irish provinces, which is ironic because today it is still part of the UK (6 counties out of the 9, Cavan, Monaghan, and Donegal being the only 3 in the Republic), and something that surprised me massively when doing some genealogical research into a not very distant relative in my family tree. I had always thought that this wouldn't have been the case.

  2942. Frenchy here, I did a DNA test during COVID out of curiosity. My mother is Burgundian and father from Lorraine. The result was that I was classified in a "French and German" european subgroup that encompasses France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany. The closest region associated to me was the French low countries (northern France).

  2943. Very interesting. My heritage is Scottish, Welsh, English, German, and Native American. My eyes, from the pupil on out, have a ring of brown, then a ring of green, and a dark ring on the edge. With gold flecks throughout. I don't know what else to call them but hazel. My mom has blue/gray eyes, and my dad's are a dark brown.

  2946. Merry Christmas and thanks for posting this kind of content. I like the Krampus celebrations, in what way if any is Krampus related to Celtic myth?

  2947. Gray eyes here! Nice to be second rarest to green eyes. I do wish I could be the rarest though, green eyes are SO cool!

  2949. Tremendous video, well done! Would you consider doing a follow up video that explains the settlement of the Isles a little more? Possibly exploring who inhabited the isles prior to the Norse invasion and why the Norsemen settled there (as opposed to richer, southern lands)?

  2950.  @celtichistorydecoded  there was another vid on YT that said it could be the reason that the Scottish Units fought like veteran trained units with spears because 30-50 Knights Templar trained them a few weeks before the battle ?

  2957. I now have green-grey eyes although I usually just call them grey, however as a child I had incredibly blue eyes, like a lot of my family. I think a lot of us with grey eyes started out with blue, so if grey is even less melenated than blue, I’d be interested to know what causes that reduction.
    3
  2958. My paternal family name is Boyce, mostly from Donegal. But I've always wondered if it's a form from Boyd or Boyle. When I looked up the origin of Boyce, it says of Scottish origin. And my DNA says more Scottish than Irish. I know my maternal grandfather has a lot of Cummings in his line, on his maternal side.

  2961. Another great well read Video. Dogger must been quite a huge land mass. I wonder how an when the sea started rising. Even when seperated from Britain it must been a large land mass. The inhabitants would have been aware their land was shrinking? I wonder if it was submerged in that one large wave you meantion, or if it was over decades or centuries? Makes you wonder how many people were trapped and drowned. If it was a gradual submerging, many will have fled in ships? This could well be the origin of the lost land of Atlantis myths?

  2972. A local Barber would come in for coffee every day at the restaurant I worked at. He was known for his love of history. He was in his 50's in 1969. I told him my Great Grandmother was a Black Swede per my mom. She had Black hair, turqoise eyes and white skin as did my mother and different other family members. This history buff said that centuries ago, several ships of Roman soldiers crashed in the fjords of Sweden and married the Highland women, and thus were called "Black Swedes". Maybe fabrication - I don't know. Thought I would throw it out there.

  2990. I always assumed myself and 2 siblings had hazel eyes as the result of my dad having blue and my mom having brown eyes, I thought it was just the combination of those 2 made Hazel, being Irish for many generations we did have the Spanish connection in 1500’s. Great upload 👍🌻

  2992. Hi there, I’ve got loads of old family documents, family trees and books even. My father’s family crossed over to The Antrim Coast and Belfast City from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 but I don’t know if it was during The Ulster Plantation of King James I/VI or after. My grandmother was born in Belfast as were her parents and grandparents. On my mother’s side, my mother is a Wallace. My Wallace family came to The American Colonies and Canada from Ballymena, NI. Some of my ancestors were from Inverness, Argyle, Rothesay Bute, Skye and many more from the Lanarkshire area. One family document tells quite a story of a Clan Buchanan battle fought and won in Argyle. Some were the victims of Clearances having sided with Bonnie Prince Charlie in The 45/46 and had their lands confiscated and gifted to The Duke of Argyle which was odd considering they were “staunch Presbyterians.” They too moved back and forth between Scotland and Ireland before emigrating North America. Most settled in Pennsylvania, The Carolinas and Canada. This “Gailey Family document reports turmoil in Scotland and in Ireland but that some of the family remained in Scotland or returned. My maternal great grandmother was a Gailey and she was the one who had all of the detailed documents. I have them all now and everything points to constant conflict and hardship as the reason for their leaving Scotland and Ireland. I have traveled over to Scotland and NI frequently since I was a teenager, about 30 years, just returned to The USA in October after a month in Scotland, The Outer Hebrides and NI. Really enjoy your videos and learning about my ancestors and what life was like for the poor souls.

Thomas Stewart's parents are John and Agnes Stewart. This is as far back as I've found. I do not know what clan branch my Stewarts belong too. I would like to find out though. Mary is my 3 x gr-grandmother from my paternal grandmother's branch.

  3009. I always thought it could have been a response to forced conversion to Christianity. I also read that not an vikings we're Scandinavian either. They found fully Pictish/Celtic/Gaelic people's who were buried in Viking style. Maybe pagans from Celtic lands who were also opposed to Christian conversions ?

  3010. I am half Scandinavian and half Irish, so im viking and celtic, i have natural blonde hair and blue eyes

  3011. I'm Swedish, born here, but some of my ancestors where Vallons (blacksmith people from Belgium) and my grandfather (my fathers father) were born in the village of Iglau in then Tjeckoslovakia. His father were born in Germany, i am also related to the noble family "Uggla" which in Swedish means "Owl". the Swedish musician Magnus Uggla is also related to this noble family so i am related to him as well. Also i am related to a former king of Sweden (Karl XIV Johan).

  3021. I have hazel eyes, am a mixture of Eastern and Western European. I have flecks of everything and my eyes can appear different colors depending on colors I wear and eye makeup color. I've even had people tell me my eyes look lavender on occasion. I have green, brown, amber/gold as far as I see.
    3
  3022. Thanks for this! As intriguing as the Scythian hypotheses is, there's never been material or DNA evidence to support the legend. Far more likely that it came through Scandinavia. Fairer skin and blue/grey eyes are great traits for dark, northern forests; and the greater capacity to retain Vitamin D on the part of red-haired people is part of that.

  3023. Emperors didn’t visit Britain for pleasure,they only came if there was a crisis so the disappearance of the ninth,the arrival of the sixth and Hadrian must be linked.

  3027. No one can seam to agree as to what color my eyes are. I have gotten blue, gray, hazel, everything but amber and brown. My drivers license says hazel, because I had to put something down. The DMV wouldn't let me put what I think my eye color is, dark greenish blue. But when I cry they become bright glowing emerald green.

  3038. Might I suggest that any Nation or group that hires out mercenaries is almost certainly instrumental in maintaining a heightened state of antagonism amongst its region's. They're being represented on both sides of every battle guarantees some degree of success. Unlike the Nobility who lost people and land, mercenaries rarely lose anything barring their lives. From a management perspective this hazard had little effect on profits and so the military industrial machine is born and it wants everything.

  3049. Greetings CHD, red-hair traits are often associated to Gaels. But you could find red-haired mummies in the desert of Gobi, in Xinjiang.

  3078.  @celtichistorydecoded  That sounds great and we're looking forward to it. I am in the same boat with all other amateurs, so unfortunately I have no real advice on how to go about these things. I follow the archeogenetics studies, I consider any genealogy I can get my hands on, I have a Big Y-700 and autosomal test through FamilytreeDNA which I upload to anywhere freely accepting of it. I make use of linguistics, etymology, and surnames in a schizophrenic manner. Aside from concrete genealogy and genetic testing, it's all just tossing stones in the dark 🤷🏼 I'm relying on intuition/instinct through most of this because although I have genealogy mapped out extensively, my paternal line is a gray area. My paternal grandfather's surname was Morey/Morrey, which I haven't come across in genetic testing in the 3 years that I've been after this. My closest surnames matches paired with haplogroup subclades I'm downstream from are: (newest to oldest surnames/subclades) Whitehead>Keeton/Keating>McKenzie>Matheson There are others I match close with as well though we don't share the same subclade branches 🤯 Scaledinnovation.com has been an invaluable tool as well. I wish I had something of substance to add but I am just a normal guy working with what I've got! Best of luck 🤞🏼 In my opinion, there are not enough folk interested in such things, I'd like to see more participation from those like myself.

  3079. The painted woman that you showed has marks similar to the Iranian Sarmation tribe. Both men and women of Sarmation used to be heavily tatooed depicting the story of their lives showing who they are by what was tattooed on their bodies. Since men and women were equal partners, in battles they would fight shoulder to shoulder on horseback. You may want to read the latest book about the Indo-Europeans called "The Indo-European Puzzle" and it is based on collaboration of specialists with deep knowledge in terms of Genetics, Archeology and Linguistics.

  3083. ​ @celtichistorydecoded  Yes. The origin myths couldreflect acual events that happened, e.g. the "from Spain" might refer to the Neolithic Farmers migration from Spain and the "from Sythia" might reflect the Bronze age immigrants from the Stepp. Also after the arrival of Christianity the "from Egypt" may be an imagined way of connecting the Scots to the then known oldest (and admired?) civilisation. I think that the "from Egypt" myth is the one least likely to have any basis of truth.

Christian died of typhus when they landed and Alexander and his second son (William), moved on to Ontario during the Pemmican Wars, he later married a McBeath. After him, his oldest son came to Manitoba with his wife, Nancy Anna Sutherland. We are related (on this side), to Sutherland's, McBeath's, Ross's, Sinclair's...most of the highland settlers. Even my paternal Grandmother's Metis side goes back to Scottish settlers. 💙

  3118. This blows my mind and so healing thank you so much for sharing xx
    3
  3119. Okay, I think I get it. While Tribes are typically family groups that run as separate authorities to a central government, the Scottish Clans ran as a component of the Scottish Feudal system.

  3120. Some people say I have green eyes, then some say I have hazel. I am colorblind so I can't tell what color I have.

    3
  3135. I am in the USA, and I celebrate Samhuinn instead of Halloween with a dumb supper, fire, house cleansing, and traditional food offerings to the otherworld creatures :-). I celebrate all 4 fire festivals and, to a lesser extent, the other 4 which were adapted by modern Druids from a collaboration with Wicca. Thanks for this video!

  3162. Cruithineach is the Celtic term used for the Picts. I have seen many Ukrainians on the TV lately, and it’s remarkably like Scottish people. I know that is probably daft, but I haven’t seen it so much from other countries. I’m from the traditional Cruithineach stronghold in Scotland. My DNA shows Celtic and Finnish, as do others I know that did DNA tests.

  3168. Do you have any insight into the significance of the masks and figures handing in Colm's cottage?

  3169. I think the important thing about the name of the island is how placenames work in Irish, i.e. Inish means island, Inishmore is derived from Inish-Mór, "Mór" meaning big, big-island. If you break it down like that its Inish Erin, Erin being a traditional name for Ireland itself, derived from the name of the goddess Éiru. So the film is not just about a wee island off the coast, its a commentary on Ireland in its totallity, its about the darkness that would follow it into independence and haunts it today with its current economic, political and social woes, about the failure of the Irish revolution and the Hauntology of the lost Gaelic socialist republic that the Martyrs of 1916 and the generations that followed them fought and died for. The Banshee and the meaning of the Banshee is very explicitly outlined in the scene where Brendan Gleeson's character explains why he called the song he created The Banshees Of Inisherin. "Banshees don't need to scream anymore..." I don't really think you need to know much more about it than just what's said in the text of the film itself to get that part.

    3
  3173. What an interesting video. I've never given in much thought. I think green eyes are from the fairies for definite ;-) My wife has blue eyes, with one of them having a streak of brown in it. I have a friend who has one eye green and one eye brown. I have blue eyes and I find them green/grey the most attractive, don't really like brown.

    3
  3182. I got green & grey eyes 😇
    3
  3183. Both myself and my sister inherited our hazel eyes from our mother and grandmother. It's interesting that you suggest hazel is more common in Spain and southern Europe. As far as I know, my maternal ancestors all came from the UK or Ireland. This new revelation adds some mystery! Our eyes started out grey, but changed to hazel gradually, not developing fully until we were around 9 or 10. I know eye colour change after infancy is fairly common, my eldest son's eyes went from blue to brown. I would have liked to have passed on this eye colour, but sadly my other kids all have their dad's eyes, which are blue!
    3
  3184. My eyes looked more hazel/amber when I was a child, became more green in my 20s and now as I age they get greyer by the day, so I don't know if they are hazel or gray. People comment on my blue eyes all the time and that surprises me...
    3
  3185. I have blue-green eyes.

    3
  3194. The Declaration of Arbroath and the Irish say that the Picts came from Scythia also , the question here is WHY , why would Bede and these other sources make such a claim ? I think that the researchers need to do some more research and part of their problem is that they look at things through "evolutionary glasses"
    3
  3195. I have green eyes with a little bit brown, dark brown curly hair. I am original from Germany and the only one in the family with that eye color

    3
  3198. Maybe it is a dumb question, but could Bede be using the name Scythians for different people than we do? Because I wonder if they even knew of the existence of the Scythians near Ukraine at that time.

  3210. Love your work but can you please slow down a bit! I like to take notes😊 I am a female but come from a Sinclair line that's on my father's side. They are Irish.

  3211. This ol'boy sounds just like us down here in southern Maryland. Buddy you alright?
    3
  3212. So I was just watching a documentary about Scythians and immediately noticed some cultural similarities. Preserved in the permafrost of Siberia, skin of buried warriors are ornately covered in tattoos just like the Pictish warriors of yore. Also trousers, as daft as it sounds were worn by both cultures. I don't know without checking if Picts left standing stones or cysts and/or burial mounds. I'm sure that there are many more similarities that would bolster the connection of these two warrior cultures
    3
  3213. Thank you for the lesson. Excellent video.

  3215. Hello mate - great video as always.. i do have a request for a future video however. Could you maybe talk about the O'neills and the irish influence of Scotlands Clans. My clan is Lachlan which is Scots for Lochlainn (irish spelling) which lost contention for Irish kingship. I've always been interested in how the entities seperate and why. Also i apologise if you have covered this, but maybe a video on conversion from pre-christian faith to christian, and what this meant for the clans?

  3223. Interesting video! 1 found out my male haplogroup is R1b-L21>DF13>ZZ10. My father's side comes originally from Somerset England. I'm thinking this haplogroup is a pretty good indication that my male line is indigenous bell beaker "Celtic Briton" and not Germanic Anglo-Saxon. Though my surname is English I only get 32% ancestry from England and 38% Scotland, 11% Ireland, 5% Wales with the remainder of being Norway and Denmark. My mother is a J2 haplogroup Montgomery whose Scottish ancestor left a place called Rosemont Scotland if I remember correctly to settle in county Antrim Ireland. Descended from a younger son of a Sir Hugh Montgomery that had land in both Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. So after 9 generations in the American colonies and the United States my ancestry is still pretty much predominantly from people of the British Isles.

    3
  3230. Great vid , but couldn't we say the clan system was under attack after David's rule as he was highly influenced by the Saxon court and way of life , i.e all Scotlands borough where established at this time.

  3233. First generation Australian on mums side from Glasgow. I had your colour hair for most of my life but in the last 5 years it's gone a lot darker red (few whites poppin up now though :P) I finally made it to Scotland last year and felt right at home with so many gingers. There's def. a lot less in Australia, and the temp. in Scotland was like where I felt I belong. Gingers simply arnt designed for Australian summers. But I recently found out on my dad's side, my great great grandmother came here on the second fleet as a convict from Ireland. Don't know anything about her besides that. I've always wondered about the red hair in Russia, look forward to that vid. I got into a little bit of Irish mythology, and they say Ireland was colonized originally by the 'Fomorians'. Who were crazy giant people with red hair.. There's a fun one to look into. Peace.

  3259. And when it comes to the Celtic sword the idea of the swords being bad because they curled up in battle is a roman misconception when they came across curled up swords deposited in rivers and lakes as a form of ritual offering they saw the way the swords had become curled up an thought that this cartoonishly happened in battle. So the idea that the Celts had to straighten there swords due to the poor quality of their craftsmanship[p is simply a roman misunderstanding. Glad you mentioned this cause its quite silly that this myth is still widely beilived.

I remember being in kindergarten and playing mercy and was winning pretty easily agains all the other boys, but then this scrawny red headed girl wanted to go against me and she didn't beat me but I couldn't get her to say mercy for nothing either, no matter how hard I tried, ticked me off🤣🤣

  3278. Thank you for this! Clan Campbell here on mom's side (her dad) and McDonald on my dad's side (a few generations back). I have discovered my Grandpa Campbell's Y Haplo is I- m253. Seems like we were not originally Campbell's but perhaps descendants of vikings. I-m253 is primarily found in Scandinavia. Still trying to connect the dots.. I love your videos! I just love Scotland. Thank you!

  3284. R1b is pretty much the majority of Northern Europe... (it split off around 18,000 years ago - very soon after R1). There are some Irish associated halotypes that would have likely been dispersed through a wider area though being caught up in the Viking slave trade (with Vikings having a presence in Ireland)

  3287. The reason for the gray and green eyes in the Middle East is rather due to the Millions of Europeans who were enslaved by Arabs and Turks. Blonde and red-haired women were more valuable than gold and spices. Dont forget that the Turks were all the way to Iceland to take slaves.

  3300. Scythians were noted as brilliant horsemen. As were a close nearby related people the Parthians. Who are the greatest horsemen in the World today? The Irish! Theres definitely a link. Celtic people are recorded as living in ancient times in what is now modern day Turkey. The Scythians were an Aryan people. "Iran" means land of the Aryans. This is the region the Scythians lived in. Irelands official name is Eire. Meaning Aryan, or land of the Aryans. The Scots came from Ireland to settle what in now Scotland. Id say theres a definite link with the Scythians. Brilliant video.

  3309. Just discovered your channel, and I love it!! If you ever do another part of this video, could you look into Clan Davidson? I'm a Dye, technically, but Dyes are a sept of Davidson. However, in my research, it sounds like my family actually has Danish roots? I'm wondering how the Dyes became associated with Clan Davidson, but also Denmark, apparently?
    3
  3310. So people without Dutch or Danish ancestry in their family tree, but have English as well as DNA showing origins in the Netherlands or Denmark, are likely descendants of the Anglo Saxons or the later Viking settlements.

I'm a traveler and where ever I go, women stop me to admire it. My family can always find me in a crowd... I was recently a Fire-starter for a conversation at a gathering. My hair has been a core part of my work and identity as a lightning rod for transformative change.

  3339. As interesting is the Roman history of Hadrian's Wall, more interesting is the underlying geographical history of millions of years, and the volcanic stills that created such stunning views. But then Scottish geographical history is so interesting, dating back to Cambrian times, including the collision between the North American plates and the European ones that created the Caledonia mountains and Edinburgh. another video perhaps?

  3423.  @celtichistorydecoded  Having said that, I do appreciate the things you pointed out like there being multiple banshees (hence the title) & the sister being one of them. If they are harbingers of death, then her rejection was probably the reason for the boy's suicide. So that was informative. But I still didn't like the film.

  3457. in those days the Romans called Scotland as Caledonia and the people there are the Picts.

  3458. Clan McKee, linked through the Morgan family name. We had a lot of Scot-Irish ancestors who came over in the late 17th and early 18th century to the Carolinas as indentured servants, and somehow got mixed up with some German scoundrel we haven't figured out the origins of...maybe he was a Hessian. My family is a definite Heinz 57 of DNA

  3460. My family line, traditionally first born son named Robert Allen McMillan, my great grandfather served in Black Watch regiment , he was the last true Scots highlander in family. Moved from Dumfries/ Galloway to Liverpool. My grandfather served in eighth army 2nd world War. He also was R A McMillan as was my father.

  3461. Sub'd your other channel. History is a good subject especially more ancient history of Celts and the tribes thereof....as well as the Steppes etc.....the ancient world was far more connected than one would suspect.

  3466. Thank you for your videos. My dad had beautiful red hair and light blue eyes. Of 3 children, I have the lightest eyes (hazel) and light brown hair with distinct red highlights. My sister had medium-dark brown hair and dark blue eyes while my brother had dark brown hair and darker blue eyes than my sister. I really wanted my children to have red hair and blue eyes, but that didn't happen (dark hair and brown eyes). My hopes then turned to my grandchildren, but, that didn't work our either. Only one has medium-dark gray eyes and medium brown hair with red highlights and the others look like their parents. I will continue to hope that a descendant will fulfill my wishes. DNA is as fascinating as it is frustrating.

  3467. I'm a Park, a sect of the McDonald Clan. I am 20.7% Scots, Irish & Welsh according My Heritage DNA, which is not much considering my father is from Scotland.
    3
  3468. Hazel Eyed here. But my Mom and her grandfather had gray eyes (Normandy France). His eyes looked strange in photos, like he had no color in his eyes.
    3
  3469. Interesting - especially since I'm from England and live in Saxony, Germany 😄
    3
  3470. I'm from Guam with an 18% autosomal DNA connection to the Iberian Peninsula. My paternal grandmother's maternal great-grandfather was born in Sax, Spain. I might also add that the same study shows a 25% autosomal DNA connection to England, Wales, & Scotland. This is most likely due to my paternal grandfather who was born in England.
    3
  3471. Im from the centre of the Netherlsnds, did a heritage test earlier this year, turned out im 21% scandinavian mainly Denmark and Norway. Now i know a little bit of why, thank you so much. If only this episode could be longer

  3472. I have hazel eyes. In Canada. My northern Italian mother had green eyes, and my dark British father had brown eyes. My eyes were brown as a young child but lightened to hazel.
    3
  3473. I have green eyes
    3
  3474. Fun facts: blond hair evolved in Siberia. Blue eyes evolved around Crimea. Any person with either must ultimately have DNA from the East.
    3
  3475. I am mixed Dutch with Nigerian. My DNA test was more diverse on the Dutch side- English mostly, Irish/ Scottish/ Welsh, Dutch, German, Italian and Finnish…

  3480. My great great grandparents are from Edinburg. Lived in West Virginia and then to northeastern Kentucky. The clan Ross. Sir Kenneth Mackenzie was direct descendant. Wallace Caldwells Payton to waltons. Then I married the nephew of Robert E Lee. Interesting heritage of our children.

  3492. Most likely something banal happened to the legion. The loss of an entire legion on campaign would have been a notably dramatic event worthy of record in its own right. The legion is probably just "lost" to recorded history, not to a foe.
    3
  3493. ❤❤ I have green eyes and red hair with freckles on my forehead and cheeks I’m a total 2 percent with my hair and eye color! . Still ivory skinned, but now it’s more pink. I’m the only sibling with green eyes- 2 oldest and two youngest have blue and the 2 siblings on either side of me (in birth order have hazel- brown. Yep- 7 kids and I’m the middle. My little brother is a blue eyed redhead.

  3496. Fascinating! My paternal haplogroup (R-M167) has its origins in the Pyrenees, even though my paternal line can be traced as far back as the 13th century to Staffordshire, and my 23&Me report advises that my background is 92% British and 8% Other Northern European. This must be why I like tapas - LOL!

  3505. Fantastic. Must be why I feel a kinship with the Scots. Respect from a friend in the US. Happy Fourth. 😁
    3
  3506. Interesting. May I suggest a video on what happened to the Celts in their homeland of Central Europe; Noricum, Boii, Gotini, Anartes and that last holdout of an independent Continental Celtic nation in today's Slovakia. Being finally crushed in between the might of Marcus Aurelius's Rome and the Germanic tribes, without an Arminius to save them.

  3507. beautiful pictures! lovely nature
    3
  3508. Thank you for explaining the percentages - it's something most people don't seem to understand. What/who your random ancestor was even 250 years ago is pretty negligible with regards to your DNA. I've gone back a few generations and looked at the etymology of my ancestors' surnames, and they're either English, Welsh, Norman or Germanic 🤷
    3
  3509. I have Green Eyes. My Mothers were Blue and my Fathers were Brown. I question my reality sometimes.

    3
  3522. Clan Holm, obviously Holmes being one of the various versions of the clan name including Holm, Holmes, Hulm, and Hume. I'm also related to clan Graham and the O Sullivan's of Ireland (not sure if the O Sullivan's count as a clan) amongst potential others. I've had a lot of fun researching my family's history and the ties to both Ireland, Scotland, and Canada. Although i may not actually be related to clan holm at least generically as I was quite shocked to see in my genetic results as the Holmes were and old English family and I have little Anglo ancestors most of my ancestors are either Gaelic or Britons its a mystery I have yet to solve.
    3
  3523. I don't. I'm Hebridean Scots with a drop of Irish. Turn out our Y inheritance is all Norwegian, , even on the Irish side. However my XX gives extra information. Ancient hunter gatherers, before the Yamuna arrival, with an admixture later of Ancient Irish and Pictish. My brother has almost no Neanderthal DNA, whereas I have the full compliment. So even a brother and sister can inherit quite different dna and the XX and XY can give more full information between siblings of different sexes.

  3524. good vid m8. bloody hellish behaviour from all who perpetrated that crime. a disgrace. could u imagine actually doing that to people or ordering it done? beyond belief.

  3525. Would love to know more about Clan Macaulay and why my ancestors DNA seems to also be linked to McMillan Clan. What does it mean? Also any details about Plantation to Northern Ireland if possible.
    3
  3526. What a murky mist of time before 1,000 years ago. One important point is that the names people called each other was fluid. 'Scots' may have sometimes seemed to migrate from one area to another, but only the name was changed.
    3
  3527. Thanks.👍
    3
  3528. I have hazel eyes. I’m an American of European decent (mostly British isles and Germanic regions). Blue eyes also run in my family (my sister has them and both of my grandfathers had blue eyes). My eyes were light brown when I was a kid, but became more green during my teen years and eventually became hazel.
    3
  3529. Interesting video Ste. My Stewart’s originally came from Brittany, though I don’t know from where before that.
    3
  3530. Hi, if you are Apulian (from Italy) and you show traces of some British, Irish, Switzerland's DNA.. how could it be? There are small percentages, so it is something ancient for sure...
    3
  3531. Ive got dark brown eyes. My oldest sister has green eye's another sister has blue eye's a sister with lighter brown eye's than mine. My Only brother has grey eyes..My father had blue eyes and my mother dark brown eyes..Rhesus Negative Ad. blood group.. Irish and Scottish Ancestry.

  3538. Blue eyes uber alles!

  3539.  @celtichistorydecoded  Thanks, a lot of previous archeological theories about western Europe have recently been thrown out. The genetic info proves that bell-beaker people were the Celtic/Germanic/Italic forbears and means that we call Celts was likely just an eastern branch of a larger older group.

    3
  3544. Great video as always my friend.
    3
  3545. How about some non Norman clans? Like the MacKenzies, the only clan who held land from one coast to the other. I am a descendent of the clan family, holders of Eileen Donan, through the family of Alexander MacKenzie, the man who crossed North America 12 years before Lewis and Clark.

  3548. I've built my family tree, it wasn't that difficult once you work out your recent relatives I mean grandparents, great grandparents. It might sound odd but many people don't know their grandparents, and definitely don't know their great grandparents. I was born in Malta, and as I said once you get through the recent relatives it's easy to go further via church records that a Mr. Adami recorded by copying church records from each church. The problem of course is missing records, and with Maltese people the habit of naming children after Joseph and Mary, and the many very common surnames. So far, my ancestors are holding up by dna testing. As far as the ethnicity of my ancestors, it's not important to me, and anyway I use G25 coordinates and Yahaduo to work out my ancient ancestry from Neolithic farmers, Steppe herders, HGs ....

  3551. I have read the statue of the Celt with the torque, was basically a take on the propaganda put out by Rome concerning the Celts. Like most "conquerors" history is written according to their version of events, which includes in some cases, art works. The perspective of the Celtic people themselves would be interesting concerning this time period if there are any manuscripts etc...available for reading.....???

  3552. This helped me pass my history GCSE

  3553. I have Hazle that turns to a steely blue grey at certain times. Interestingly maternal side had hazel while the paternal side had predominantly blue.
    3
  3554. I have Scottish, Irish and Welsh ancestry. I am descended from Clan MacKenzie where chief Iian MacKenzie led 500 MacKenzies in the Battle of Bannockburn defeating the English. From what I know, my earliest ancestor came over on the Mayflower in 1620 and one of the original signatories of the Mayflower Compact. His name was Moses Fletcher, a relative of my maternal grandpa, Albert Fletcher. Anytime I hear the sound of the bagpipes, I tear up. It's something in me that wells up. Very proud of my Scottish heritage!

  3555. I am 1IM253 Sub branches Z138 /A7004 . With Jutland being the likely origin of an common ancestor . My traceable history is in North east Scotland with family legend being we got left behind after the Danish armies defeat at the battle of Cruden bay in 1012 . I am an direct ancestor of Birger Jarl who is my 32nd great grandfather who was Swedish .

  3564. Clan McRae descendant here. Ginger, tall and robust frame.
    3
  3565. Very interesting video. From the comments it appears that all the redheads posting have one thing in common, they have Irish and Scots ancestory. This of course is verified by the redhead stats for Sotland/ Ireland. The other redheaded peoples appear in central Asia. Is there a connection? Maybe the celts are from these mid Asian peoples. These Asian peoples could have moved and become Celts as we know them. This would explain the high pain threshold of red heads, as i am sure there was plenty of fighting en route.

  3584. Masterepiece of a film! it was amazing. creepy but that added to it and got offset with humor quickly emerging around the corner. I had never heard of a banshee before so I didn't read into the role of the older woman like people who have been knowledged on what a banshee is. I just kinda saw her as the older figure on the island who oversaw the happenings on the island. I definitely want to give the film a second watch and as soon as I saw the film I knew I needed to see it again and maybe have a chance to see when she appears and contextually how her role affects the personalities and different outcomes and circumstances within the film. I was definitely left at the end of the film a bit bewildered especially not having been familiar with what a banshee was. And analogies being made that the relationship between the 2 main characters may be because of the civil war where both parties end up hurt at the end and nothing good comes from war just anger and hardship and lasting hurt is something I would like to observe if this analogy seems true. The 2 banshees part shees being plural is also something I don't quite understand. Some say its the old lady and the island.... The plural shees is still throughing me off seems like the lady is the banshee not sure who else could be or that the whole island is cursed and it being the second banshee. maybe the sister is the second banshee because her leaving the island could be the warning that there is more bad to come and she doesn't want to be apart of it and doesn't need to wail and make noise to communicate tis her absence is enough.

  3587. The Romans were in Britain for getting on for 400 years. People must have thought the Empire would last forever, and that Britain would remain Roman forever too. In comparison, modern civilization is a mere pup!

  3592. You must finally be a real Youtuber, you're getting comments from the racists and the bible bashers. That's the problem with history, genetics and culture ... somebody always wants to twist it into 'We are the Chosen People', rather than 'its amazing how diverse and multi-layered we are'.

  3593. I'm from North West Wales And have Dark Brown Hair and Hazel eyes.

  3595. I’m swedish. Took different DNA tests and to sum it up they show 80-90% swedish ancestry and the rest being finnish and some celtic.
    3
  3596. the genetic study is fascinating, my mother is a Stuart, her maiden name, and I have ran her line back as far as the 1780s here in America, they along with other Scots folk came here to the highlands of the Carolinas in 18th century, during Colonial period.

    3
  3600. The Inuit people, who primarily live in the Arctic regions of North America, have a different genetic heritage compared to people from Russia and Northern Europe. The prevalence of blonde hair and blue eyes in those regions is due to genetic variations that have been passed down through generations. Different populations have evolved distinct physical traits due to their unique genetic backgrounds and environmental influences.

    3
  3603. I wasn't born in Ireland, but my surname is Dolan, and my superficial understanding is that it's associated with the south of Ireland, and that it was a Black Irish Clan? I also think it's somehow connected to the name Devlin, but that's all I know. Would be thrilled if someone here could tell me more.

  3626. Its interesting from a legal point of view, that although no one disputes that the American Constitution developed from concepts in the British Constitution, Scots law with its own traditions may have contributed more as well. The idea of the absolutist legislature is more of an English invention compared with the more flexible scots law view of Parliament.

  3644. As a Frisian this dna explanation makes allot of sense. It confirms allot of things I've always thought and read. Nice to see it in genetics
    3
  3645. I have been researching into my family especially on my grandmothers' Scottish side. There are plenty of nobility within Scottish family tree. I am aware of the fact that there are so many intermarriage between clans which makes it more challenging. I am looking at my grandmother's maiden name which was Borthwick. This clan was a small one but very powerful with a strong relationship with the Royal family. Lord Borthwick was one of the ancestor of the Royal family in UK as well as Denmark, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, France, Russia and countless places I hope that you may have a look at Borthwick!

  3646. I have hazel eyes. They can change color a bit, sometimes on the green spectrum, sometimes on the brownish spectrum. My dad had pale blue eyes, my mom had brown eyes. (Her eyes were so dark, they were often considered black) I have 2 blue eyed siblings & 1 brown eyed sibling. My dad was a 100% Scot, as far as we could tell. My mom had a much more mixed heritage. (Mostly 'northern European' & some near Eastern/Mediterranean heritage.)

  3651. I'm a MacGregor descendant and also have Campbell ancestors. Other Scottish ancestors include Crawford and Abercrombie.
    3
  3652. The Z-Rod double disc symbol is found on boundary markers all over Pictland and is probably the mark of the Royal sept or Clan lineage. Picts were likely matrilineal and wheat sheafs often represent fecundity, life, birth, female aspect. They also acknowledged both descent lines...hence the double disc. Notice the other end is almost phallic. Why discs? Perhaps ancient influence from the Phoenician maritime culture that was Sun Disc (Bel) worshipping. Scythians would have encountered Phoenicians on the Mediterranean. Scythians may have been ferried to Pictland by Phoenicians.
    3
  3653. This was great. It's amazing how much we have learned about ancient humans in just my lifetime.

  3663. My husband is from clan Erskine. His last name is Marrs. We were able to trace his ancestry to when one sailed to the colonies. We traveled to the genelogical library in Aberdeen to see if we could trace before his ancestor left Scotlamd. We weren't able to make the connection , but it is interesting to think he may be related to the Earl of Mar, who was a vital participant of the Jacobian War.

  3669. Another great video. 👍I've seen average heights increase in my lifetime. Born in 1960. Im 63. Quite tall for my generation, a fraction off 6ft. I recall being the tallest of most of my mates, who were all around 5ft 6 to 5ft 8. My father and both Grandfathers were tall. So theres a genetic element. However diet and health obviously is a factor. Health care has improved loads in my life time, as has standards of living. Now i see teenagers and 20 something males in my gym, and the vaste majority are around 5ft 10 to 6ft 3 in height.

  3670. In our family, we have several people from different bloodlines with hazel eyes resulting from each having one parent with brown eyes and the other parent with blue/grey or green eyes.

  3676. My Grand mothers name is Betty Stuart. My family has lived in America for over 200 years. I could not trance her family roots to Scotland though. They earliest I could trance it back was around 1780 with a man named William Stuart who was part of the Montgomery country militia in Virginia during the American Revolutionary War.

  3677. Is there any chance of a video on accents? I am prompted to ask after watching a 1965 (I think) Irish TV interview of a 100-year-old (southern) Irish bloke (born circa 1865), and you can very clearly hear the residual Danish intonation. I once discovered a 500-page book in the library on Ulster/North of Ireland accents, phonetics, etc. but wimped out of reading it and crept out of the library with something else.

  3704. I wish we had a study on Norman genetics. I hear France won’t allow genetic studies in their country? It’s a shame I’d love to know. My genetic test at first said 38% Irish, 26% Scandinavian, 10% German, other things European but only 1% English and then ten years later it switched as more people and science grew to 38% Scottish, 35% English and northwestern Europe, 16% Scandinavian, 7% Germanic Europe. I’ve built an extensive family tree and every line on my dad’s side from the 1700s and back are all Norman maiden names marrying in my paternal Wright name. I found which wright branch I am and the earliest tale is we were Wryta and came across with William the conqueror tho I’m yet to trace that specific name in recordings beyond the 1500s but every maternal name I switch to ended up Norman from 1000s to the 1500s. Then there were intermarriages with I believe it was Duncan king of Scots who married his daughters and sons into Norman, Anglo Saxon, and Viking/Danish/Nordic royalty. I wonder if the drastic switch from 1% English/26% Scandinavian to 35% English/16% Scandinavian has to do with the ability to differentiate Norman ancestry from English by a certain time in history they base their test on on ancestry? Really just makes me realize how waves of dominant people either came and genetically dominated while adopting linguistic mixing and how some like Norman’s seem to have kept their bloodline more or less intact. If so then I wonder how similar England is on a class/regional level to India with the genetic differential from both north to south and castes with Brahmin having higher degrees of Europeans common ancestors from yamanya culture

  3711. I have Campbell, Hume (Home) Stuart, Bruce blood in my DNA Still trying to trace my Campbell family back from my Great Great Grandfather who live in southern Missouri. My Great grandfather was Robert Campbell and his father came to the US from Scotland and ended up settling near a small town called Dora Missouri. He was (by family legend) to have been earl or Duke of Argylle at the time he came to the US so the title passed on to a cousin. that is where my family got stuck with tracing our family on back from there. I did find the grave markers of my Great Great Grandfather and Gramdmother in Dora Missouri ... If anyone has any information on this part of the family I sure would love some help here. I am the only one left that has any interest in this and I know a cousin and my sister would be interested if I can get our family unstuck here.

  3712. A dominant Y chromosome would not just point to the 'activities' of the apex ancestor, such as Genghis, himself, but also to that of his sons and grandsons, etc. down the line. Power begets power, and many of these male offspring will have had early advantages in life leading to their rise to power in turn. Many other families will have wanted to marry into that privileged line in later generations. So, genetic results like these can't just be laid at the doorstep of an original harem, itself a hallmark of extreme patriarchy.

  3715. I'm not sure if this battle was Rome's "greatest defeat", but it was definitely the battle that showed that Rome was not invincible. It had enjoyed so much success up to that point, then Arminius hands Rome a defeat that literally drove its emperor INSANE with grief at the loss of three of his beloved legions. For me, personally, this is the battle that lit the very long fuse that would ultimately ignite the powder keg that would ultimately lead to the end of the Western Roman Empire.

  3716. I'm from the UK and I have grey eyes, when I go out in bright sun light my eyes will sometimes stream with tears, I'm 90% British 9% Russian and 1% Asia so it makes sense now why my eyes are the only grey all my family have brown eyes, so there always thought I was just complaining and being a brat but know I will show them this video, Thank-you so much for explaining this, I also have a question, because grey eyes are sensitive to light does that mean the light does damage to the eye, is that why my eyes are streaming tears to protect the eye or us it just a reaction with no damage done???

    3
  3743. An embarrassing catastrophic defeat by the Caladonians is plausible. It would explain why the 9th were quietly erased from Roman records. If it was done by gradual successive ambushes, it would explain the absence of normal battle site debris. On the other hand, it could be much more prosaic: EG a decision taken to disband them, and the records were simply lost. It happens even today.
    3
  3744. I'm betting the Beaker Culture came from the Scythians, then. After they broke up the five tribes, they spread out East and West. However, the map indicates the highest percentage of the descendants to be centered around the British Isles. I would expect this, if the culture was centered there. Why is it considered a bloodline associated with the Steppes? This looks like a radiation out from the British not the other way around.
    3
  3745. The story with Scytians and Scots is a normal origin story where many wanted to connect their origin with classical literature. Even the Romans where from Troy, Snorri had the Aesir Gods from Asia, in Sweden a guy said the Swedes came from Atlantis etcetera.

I am doing a bit of research on behalf of my dad who is a Hunter and also has the name Davidson as his middle name, which is connected to the family line somehow, and was also the middle name of his Scottish grandfather. We're English though, not Scottish. I have read many things that says lowland Scots weren't truly clans or Scottish so was just curious.

  3770.  @celtichistorydecoded  FYI, There were a pretty sizable number of Scots-Irish that settled here in Central and Eastern Kentucky in the period of time when Kentucky was being settled before statehood in 1792. Kentucky has a sizable number of cities and roads with both Scottish and Irish names. Most of these early settlers lived in areas next to rivers and very rough mountainous areas such as the terrain of Eastern Kentucky. This worked out as a strategic benefit due to the Native American raids upon the early settlers in which had the blessing of the British being that the Native Americans wanted to expel the white settlers from Kentucky and the British using the rage of the Native American tribes to strongly encourage many raids and the killing of settlers. The Scottish and Irish settlers were very adept at the art of battle which proved to be a great benefit in regard to the many battles and skirmishes that were being fought. I thought that you would enjoy some of our local history which correlates the long warlike history of the Scottish and Irish peoples in their native countries. Speaking of the British, I am also descended from the Spencer’s on my mother’s side of the family who have their own history.

  3835. I made up a theory that it was the scots/picts that built the two walls to keep the romans out. It make no sense for the romans to build it as they were about conquering.

  3840. Congratulations, good explanation, I really appreciated, thanks! But, I still think that european H, V, J, T, U, K mtdna (and their autosomal features) does also have effect on north european blue eye tendency. Additionally, my grandfather had ice blue eyes (possibly from his maternal side), but my father and my uncle has hazel eyes and I have light brown eyes. I am a turkmen originated turkish man.

  3864. Very informative! I just tracked my family's lineage down to Breton and Burgundy, on both sides. Then I confirmed the results with DNA tests! I'm currently trying to track down the etymology of the name Brazeau. It has not been easy... Some say it's a Breton name, others say it's Burgundian.

  3865. I'm a descendant of Clan Mac Domhnaill (Mac Donald). Before the Campbells betrayed us we were large and owned pretty much all the small isles into Glencoe.

  3870. No I don't know my haplogroup and Ancestry and Apple seems to have conspired for me not to find out as I can't transfer the files successfully. Is there any other way to do it?

  3871. The templars definitely settled in Scotland why else would the mother lodge of the masonic order be in Scotland & Kilwinning of all places which has many areas like temple Hill temple farm etc so it all makes sense to me
    3
  3872. Follow the red hair throughout history!
    3
  3873. If I did my homework right, the McIvor name originated somewhere in Argyll. I think the battle of Altimarlach is one of the reason some McIvors went to Caithness with the Campbells to thrash some Sinclairs. Emigrated to Canada in around 1860. Nice to hear about other McIvers or McIvors loose on the world. Best Regards: Andrew R McIvor

  3876. My earliest memory of my eye color was gray, but maybe it was just a transition of blue. My mom had blue eyes and my dad had brown eyes. My siblings had brown, blue, and I ended up with green eyes. Not bright green, but between blue and green. My ancestry from my mom is Scandinavian, and my father is northern European - maybe English, Irish and Scottish. My kids had blue eyes at birth that turned to green.
    3
  3877. I love this series, very fascinating! I am a Campbell, born in London, but my Ulster Scot grandfather James Campbell was born in Antrim, Ireland. I suspect my paternal family migrated there from Argyll (or possibly Ayrshire) in 1606. I haven't done a Y DNA test, but I uploaded my ancestry DNA data to My True Ancestry and it actually tells me that I am related to the Clan Anderson, of course, I am taking it with a grain of salt. I would be interested to see a breakdown of Clan Anderson in Part 3!
    3
  3878. I have green eyes, so did my lovely mum 💕
    3
  3879. While my DNA shows up a bit more of a Celtic Mix, my maternal lineage is English as far as I know going by to the 1500s. My mtDNA Haplogroup is H11a8, which seems to be most common in England, Ireland and Germany, though a lot of the my closest matches are in Scandinavia.

  3891. I'm an active project administrator of the Ó Dochartaigh Y-DNA Surname Project and a co-administrator of the Dal Cuinn Teóra Connachta and the Uí Néill Project at FTDNA. Although we are simple enthusiasts and citizen scientists, it is rather interesting growing the Y-DNA database with NGS testing and seeing how the surname clusters genetically look relative to the medieval genealogies. The best, current 'guess' on what Niall's most terminal SNP would have been is R1b-ZZ87.
    2
  3892. My eyes are hazel, but only appear brown. I have very small eyes. The only way to see it is in extreme light. Boo.

    2
  3895. Both of my grandfathers on both sides were red heads. My dad had an almost light brown hair that had some red in it. I have similar natural red in my hair, but my hair is so much darker that it’s hard to tell except in brighter light. It’s actually kind of amazing. About the only thing I got from either grand father.

    2
  3906. I have hazel eyes, but I’ve never seen them as anything special. They kind of just look washed out or like they aren’t actually any color or neutral. But that’s just my eyes.

    2
  3913. I have deep green eyes. My father has genuine black eyes, that one brother and one sister inherited. My mother has brown eyes. They both have black hair. One with olive skin, the other with very brown skin. My heritage is every race on earth and I came out bright white... with bright green eyes 💚
    2
  3914. I have blue eyes, and would say your theory about the having blue eyes to see better in the dark, fits with me, I can't see sod all in sun light i have to wear very strong sun glasses. My curtains are almost always closed but i can see much better when its darker, i can read a book with out a light on when the room only has grey light.
    2
  3915. This is strange- I am blue eyed- however my husband, son and daughter, and my children’s grandmothers have green eyes! My niece and uncle too! So odd it’s rare?!

    2
  3917. I have hazel eyes as well
    2
  3918. Green eyes. Irish/ German.
    2
  3919. This is why Autosomal admixture results are not that interesting to me. They just show you some percentage of what todays people you look like. You don't get much history from that. I find Haplogroups more interesting, because I am more fascinated with history. With Haplogroups you can for instance trace your fathers line of all grandfathers back to distant or close time periods and tell more about their history, where they were, what they might have been part of historically and so on.

  3934. My grandmother was Spanish Vasque and had green eyes . I have blue eyes with limbal rings. My parents had brown and hazel eyes.
    2
  3935. It's so interesting to see the info unfold. When I started doing my family tree all the men on my Dads side were of Irish descent and all the women were of Scottish descent and I didn't understand how that was possible. I did a DNA test that goes back 50 generations and I'm mostly old Germanic and all the places I have roots in align with where these peoples traveled most. Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, British Isles....
    2
  3936. Green eyed here too with reddish blonde hair 😅😅
    2
  3937. We do have evidence of Irish people serving in the Roman legion. We found Roman pension/discharge papers in a bog in Tipperary. Based on radio carbon dating, they were from the late Roman Empire. I actually wrote a paper in college about Roman contact with Ireland. We also have found Roman coins in a holy well for St. Brigid. Based on the coins it was pre-Constantine, roughly 70’s AD-100’s AD. Roman traders often paid respects to local gods and goddesses in regions where they traded. But in all honesty, conquering Ireland would’ve over-stretched them. It would’ve probably failed for similar reasons why they couldn’t conquer the Picts.
    2
  3938. I have green eyes, Am partly of Scots & Irish inheritance. My parents & siblings have rather dark blue eyes.
    2
  3939. USA, father had hazel eyes, mother had blue/gray, all seven daughters have hazel eyes- we are mostly English/Scottish, Irish, Northern European/ scandinavian
    2
  3940. In 2015 my friend was adamant that blue eyes developed in one individual only 5,000 years ago because one scientific article said so. I told him that that seemed like far too short of an amount of time for so many people to have blue eyes today, and that older DNA in older skeletons hadn’t been discovered yet. I’m glad they’ve been found know haha! And blue eyes are probably even older than 50,000 years ago too!

  3943. I have blue eyes of Scottish decent but if you really look across the north from Lapland to northern Canada, much farther north than most of the blue eyed people of Europe you'll find brown eyes pretty much exclusively. I think it just happened and someone of authority found it desirable.
    2
  3944. Im from Latvia and I have green eyes
    2
  3945. My husband's mother came to America from Sweden; his paternal grandparents from Norway. He has hazel eyes. Isn't that a combination of blue, gray, green, and brown? I would say he could have Viking ancestry.
    2
  3946. I have hazel eyes my mother has brown and my father has blue. My only sister has brown so I often wondered why mine are different. I have specs of gold and brown and the green is a dark green like forest green. I am Indigenous American/French, on my mother side and Prussian/English, on my father’s side.
    2
  3947. There's not enough said about Roman biased when it comes to what they recorded in history. According to Julius Caesar he had to flee the Battle of Gergovia after losing only seven hundred men. I think its very plausible that the 9th got wiped out during Agricolas governorship. Just look at how he was recalled to Rome and never given another posting again. If the Caledonians didn't wiped them out then I think he sent them to Ireland to help that banished Irish traitor try and take back his kingdom with roman help. Tacitus even brags that Hibernia could be taken with a single legion
    2
  3948. I have green eyes with a lot of yellow flecks. My mother had hazel eyes. Both her parents were born in Sweden & I don't know their eye colours. My father had blue eyes and his ancestry is mostly Scottish and English, with some having been in the New World for many generations. My 23AndMe eye color genetic guess was that I would have darker colored eyes. My wife has blue eyes but our oldest daughter has brown eyes, so the inheritance of eye color is clearly not as simple as we once thought.

    2
  3958. I got my hazel eyes from my mom. Her DNA results showed her ancestors were mostly from England and Germany but there was a dash of North Africa in the mix to spice things up a little. (Dad is a blue eyed ginger with Scottish roots.)

  3969. I’m so happy about this video. I have hazel eyes and have always thought they were unattractive and wanted brown instead. Thanks for highlighting not only where they are prominent and the people groups who generally have them, but also the melanin / climate aspect. Very interesting. I plan to embrace my hazel eyes - if you are reading this and also have hazel eyes, your eyes are beautiful and rare, be grateful for them!

    2
  3996. I have Blue hazel, blue and brown
    2
  3997. I have hazel eyes (5% per this video) combined with heterochromic iridum (1 in 10,000) with one eye noticeably lighter (more bluish/greenish) than the other. I guess that makes my eyes quite unusual, theoretically 1 in 200,000.
    2
  3998. The low light conditions in Europe where forest have been predominant over the area has , most certainly, played key role in the process of turning the eye colour from brown to blue. However, sexual preference has, likely, played part in sustaining the gene of blue eyes which is recessive compared to brown eyes gene. One of the research shows a significant difference in ambient light preference at households among different groups of people from around the world where Europe, especially Norther part of it, has significant inclination towards low light conditions thus, I would presume this has been the key factor in the appearance of this particular gene.

My 3rd great grand mother from Jean Graig, from Kilbirnie. These are the people that moved to the states as far as I know. My mother took the dna test, my father didn't.

  4030. Thank you for the video! My mother is 3/4 Danish and 1/4 early USA migrations from 1600 to 1750 from father. Her mother is 100% Danish. Yet, her mitochondrial DNA is R1 from India. So i imagine her Koefod ancestors were busy in worldwide trade and probably brought a slave or spouse from voyages. My DNA is 50% Scandinavian and out of 3 DNA tests had less than 1% from India, but there were a few hits from India. My father is mainly British from very early USA migrations including Drake ancestors.

  4063. I wonder if the "Indo Europeans" are actually what has been remembered in mythology as the "Aryans"??? I know that in Iran, there is a myth that the ancient Iranians ("Aryans") migrated from around the area of the Steppe - hence why it's called Iran (from Aryan). This would tend to tie-up with what you say in the video. Fascinating to speculate.

I’ve been wanting to watch The Outlaw King, but have no Netflix, and it’s rare to find it on dvd! I’ve got 1917 on dvd, just because it’s got one of our family members acting in it, Kenny Fullwood 😁

  4076. Great information ! One name I recognized in my family was Nixon. I remember reading somewhere that when border reivers families had their children baptized that they would keep one hand from getting holy water on it so it could still be used for reiving. Is that true ?
    2
  4077. Hello! I enjoyed this video the first I have seen of yours. Like & subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I am an American with 40% Scottish genetics, mostly from the lowland Scots. I would love to visit Scotland and the Smaiilholm Tower some day! I have been researching my family history and I find that my Scottish ancestors were among the first to establish new territories as they were opened up and they usually didn’t stay put for more than one generation, at least until they finally settled on farms & ranches out west. I have often wondered why they kept selling their beautiful properties and moving on, but maybe the answer lies at least partly in their history of living in the Scottish lowlands & borderlands…… they were used to things being difficult (adrenaline junkies 😄) and therefore became restless after a while and felt the need to go in search of the next new best lands to conquer.. 🤔 I do know that they didn’t shy away from defending their new homelands as all my Scottish ancestors had all who were able serving in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, & on. Best wishes to you & yours in the new year! Cheers!

  4084. If you want to see a local scaled down version of the octagonal columns go to Dunglass near to Strathblane (park at the church, follow the old railway track eastwards about a kilometer). There's some on the side of Ballagan Glen, almost opposite, as well. Every vlog about giants will inevitably attract some religious zealots/conspiracy theorists that talk about the Nephilim from the Old Testament - just to forewarn you.
    2
  4085. My eyes were green when younger but as I aged, the are green on the outer edges and have gold flecks toward the ires. My mom's eyes were green but dad's eyes were light blue bordering on being gray.
    2
  4086. Thank you many people have this misconception
    2
  4087. The people in China with green eyes is interesting. In the same wider region, there is an area with lots of mummies who appear Caucasian. and their clothing also resembles Celtic plaids (not directly Celtic, but more likely from a common origin in the Black Sea region; some went west and some went east when the Black Sea filled in.) This is also likely connected with the appearance of the extinct IndoEuropean languages Tocharian A and B in central Asia (I believe somewhere on the TIbetan plateau north of the Himalayas.

  4269. Nice vid. The interesting thing about the Druids is that they are only described in the accounts of the Gauls, Britons and Irish. We hear nothing about similar Orders in either the Spanish or central/eastern european Celts. This has lead some to believe that Druids were a later inovation of Celtic civilisation that occured in the west after the breakup of the common celtic culture in their central european heartlands circa 8th century BC. One source even mentions that the origin of the Order was in Britain and Britain was the centre of Druidic training, perhaps via a system akin to a University or a Guild. From this, it is possible, though unlikely that the Druids represent a pre-Celtic institution though this is not generally supported. In the wider context of Indo-European peoples, a Priest class set outside and above the Warrior and Husbandmen classes is very common and likely originates within the Proto-Indo-European culture of the Bronze age Steppe. We see similar social organisations in the Italic peoples with the 'Flaman' caste and in India with the 'Brahmin' caste. (Those two words have been noted by linguists as possible cognates). Another interesting thing that the Romans mention is that the British Celts and the Gauls were literate, having a script 'looking like Greek', and that an educated Briton was fluent in ancient Greek! Little to no evidence of writing has been found in the pre-invasion UK which means perhaps the Druids kept it as a secret skill on par with magic. As for contact with Greece, we're told that a Pytheas out of Massalia circumnavigated and explored Britain 300 years before Caesar got chased out of Kent.
    2
  4270.  @celtichistorydecoded  Thanks, the Druids are one of the fav historical mysteries of the UK, and they likely took most of their secrets into the next world with them. I'm trying to track down the quote about the Britons learning Greek.

  4281. The Old Woman / Banshee can be seen out of focus in the distance when Padraic is waving goodbye to his sister. While his sister leaves on the boat she waves back and even blows a kiss, but then her face becomes serious when she notices someone else up there. she also seems to show up when there is a death or a death is imminent. because after he waves off his sister the miniature donkey is found dead. then when Dominic is discovered dead, she was the one beckoning him across the lake and then leading his father/policemen to the body. Finally she appears at end of movie, seated and watching the exchange between the two of them on the beach. I have heard elsewhere that Colm is actually dead (lack of footprints in the sand to where Colm is standing and the fact that he wanted to die anyway) and the conversation Padraic had could be in his head!! not sure about that though as that seems a bit too far out there, however, there may be something to be said about Padraic's state of mind.

  4303. Call me paranoid, but when a military operation looks too successful its usually the work of a third party. Cui Bono? (who benefits) The Parthians, the rival superpower to the Romans, would gain a lot from this massive destabilization of their enemy. I would not be surprised if Arminius was a Parthian asset, and they paid for the whole set up. Also, bare in mind that the Roman response was to genocide the offending tribes a few years later. Perhaps the Germans were the expendable pawns in a bigger game?

  4332. Nice to hear the tales of the giants but it seems in the lore...watch out for your Granny trying to put a spanner in the works...I suppose she meant well...but even still...the magic backfired didn't it?. Be careful what you wish for!.
    2
  4333. I watched the movie as I love watching both these 2 highly talented actors. Problem is/was that it was listed a comedy...OH NO IT'S NOT...couple of kind of funny scenes, but I did feel the older woman was some kind of other worldly source..Banshee analogy makes sense. However, the sweet little pony with red ribbon 🎀 launched me into a not stop crybaby episode...even this film is getting such recognition & awards, I will not be able to ever watch it again. 🥺
    2
  4334. I have Hazel eyes. My mother had blue and my father, brown. Mine are literally in between their colours. They change colour and appear more green when there is more light. Mother was south Slavic and my Father- West Slavic.

    2
  4336. I have Roman DNA from Yorkshire, but the markers aren't what I would consider a hugely strong signal (for instance I have Clovis DNA and the signal, though it's 12,500 years old) is considerably stronger. Congrats to Scotland for sending the Romans packing! No, I have no love for them.

Hi nothing but great content from your Channel however something of an interesting subject you may wish to cover I have heard a tale that s number of scottish clans fought alongside general james Wolfe at the battle of Quebec. however I have been unable to find any content on which clans took part in the battle I'm sure this would make interesting subject material for the channel to cover another great video from you thank you for all the devoted time you spend producing them
    2
  4350. Sicilian American have green eyes .Born with blue eyes by the time I was 6 changed to green with a small out ring of blue. Blue black hair and my beard and mustache was dark black with with some red patches.
    2
  4351. Basic "everyday" English/Danish commonly has the same amount of words and wordorder, besides the fact that many words are similar. As an example: My son has a green hat / Min søn har en grøn hat. Take my hand and let us go home to me / tag min hånd og lad os gå hjem til mig etc. I also found out that different dialects of Scots (not Scottish-English) has words very similar to Danish. As an example: Flit (moving an object), Flytte (Moving house) is Flyt and Flytte in Danish or Smittle (Infection) is Smitte in Danish and all the Scots words with double "oo" like Hoos, Moos, Loos would be Hus, Mus, Lus in Danish so basically pronounced more or less the same.
    2
  4352. Mine be greeny. I'm Polish and Belgian.
    2
  4353. I had medium ash brown hair (a dark shade of red/brown) which has turned mostly white in my old age. Some people hate red haired women. I am treated a lot differently now that my hair is white.
    2
  4354. One of my eyes is green and the other is more blueish . They both have a turquoise outer edge so sometimes they look more blue other times bright green. My youngest daughter has a blue eye and a brown eye . We have Eastern European ancestors from Denmark and Germany. Too bad we can’t post a selfie lol
    2
  4355. Yes I have hazel eyes mostly green. My Grandma had hazel eyes, my parents had blue eyes. Almost all my cousins have hazel eyes even though their parents have blue eyes. I was the only one in my immediate family that had hazel eyes all of my 3 sisters, and 4 brothers gave blue eyes.

    2
  4362. I’m a descendant of the Broun Clan, I just ordered my tartan today. Too bad I don’t have the last name though, I would have loved to have gotten the coat of arms.
    2
  4363. Grey eyes here. My heritage is from Norway, Findland, Ireland so guessing that's where this North American got them. Only one in my family.
    2
  4364. Bede and the Declaration of Arbroath are primary sources but are hardly primary sources of Scot's genetic ancestory. I'm with you, and Barry Cunliffe, on the importance of the Atlantic Coast Culture and believe that people came into Britain (displacing the Western Hunter Gatherers) along a seaborne western route long before there was much immigration across the Channel, the only thing that hints at this though is that Neolithic culture seems to have drifted south from Orkney and Shetland rather than moving north from what's now eastern England. I can highly recommend 'An Atlas for Celtic Studies' by John T. Koch as the clearest and most archeo-historical book on the spread of Celtic culture and migrations. I really enjoy these vlogs, usually because I'm location spotting Central Scotland from your B-roll, but it would really improve them if you could cut out verbal repetition.
    2
  4365. I have a green one and a brown one!
    2
  4366. Great couple of videos on blue eyse & WHG etc :) I guess we'll know the answer to your theory if/when we can determine whether the Western Magdalenians - the Villabruna grouping with the GoyetQ2 cluster - had blue eyes amongst them. WHG could have inherited it from them - even tho they lived at lower latitudes. Or do you think it re-evolved in WHG as the ice retreated and people occupied latitudes where light was low in the Winter?
    2
  4367. Green eyes. Swedish and British ancestors. More genetic evolution for sure!
    2
  4368. Duncan and Grieg. There are a lot more as my tree has been traced back hundreds of years

    2
  4385.  @celtichistorydecoded  Scots also tried at those Canadian islands, which slightly failed but got incorporated into England British union. Truth be told If the Scots combined the Canada attempt without allocating its resources to central America and use the same money, supplies and people to reinforce the Canadian island instead it may of succeeded.

    2
  4387. What caind of english is this accent 😂 love it i never heard this before
    2
  4388. I think you're getting more traction from the pre-history stuff (mesolithic, neolithic, bronze age, iron age) and Roman, which our local area is hooching with, rather than the medieval period that's covered by multiple websites. Type in 'William Wallace' or 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' to Youtube and they'll be thousands of vids by people that have never set foot in Scotland. Keep it Local ...
    2
  4389. Hi Steven. Another fantastic video. Celtic genealogy, my favourite. These Welsh get everywhere Lol My Scottish clan is Stewart ~ on my Dad’s side.
    2

    2
  4393. if you study various Chinese, Arabic, Roman and European sources you will see that all ancient Turkic tribes like Cumans, Qirqiz, Uighur, Pecheng, Khazar, Bulgar and over all every single Turkic person is deacribed with red-blonde hairs and colored eyes.
    2
  4394. I have Jazel, and it depends on what I was. My eyes can look more green. I also have brown hair. U mom has brown eyes, and my dad has the same color as I do.
    2

  4398. I literally browsed around earlier to revisit this out of curiosity. am 14% metal age invader per FTDNA. 44% farmer and 40% HG. My maternal hap (H6a1b2) was found among the Yamnaya, and my dad is downstream of R1b. R-M343 I believe - Irish type 3. Having such a small amount of their autosomal DNA it’s wild to see the persistence of their lineages through time in direct ways (sex chromosomes) Can you do a video on female Yamnaya lineages being absorbed into the BBs? Like, What do we know about those westward moving bands bumping into other groups? Did they blend? Or go to war? How they mixed and became CW and later, BB folk? Reich recently put this forward I believe, as well as the evidence The yamnaya carried bubonic plague.
    2
  4399. 🙃

    2
  4407. The second ever Europeans to reach the New World were two "Skokzmenn" in the Greenland sagas of Leif Erikson. Haki and Hekja were two Norse-Gael scouts brought to Vinland and are described as having a different style of attire rather than typical Norse clothing. Likely an Irish brat.
    2
  4408. nice folk story. It reminds a similar story at the extreme edge of the Indo-European culture: Rama Setu https://youtu.be/lZKaHp-eNFM there is a bunch of videos, long and short, about the bridge built by Lord Rama to Ceylon island.
    2
  4409. I've noticed that many Scots have varying levels of red hair. Such as auburn or strawberry blonde hair. BTW does anyone know if all people with varying levels of red hair are included within the 6-13% group?

    2
  4421. Brilliant TY
    2
  4422. I actually like the story in the Channing Tatum movie The Eagle. Where, after the battle, instead of fighting their way back to the wall, the Roman soldiers scattered across the land, getting some independent villages to take them in, and after a while they married barbarian women, had kids, started families, etc. Nice to think, though they lost the battle and were trapped behind enemy lines, they made the best of it and had fruitful lives.
    2
  4423. I have hazel eyes I live in the USA
    2
  4424. Green eyes from America. Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish ancestry

  4426. Very educational and interesting. My DNA results show 50% German (father) and 50% Ukrainian (mother). Father and mother both have blue eyes. My sister has blue eyes and I have green eyes. Definately green and they don't change colour with the lighting. Also they are sensitive to light. I think I am the only one on both sides that has green eyes. I do have an uncle on my mother's side but that's it. My husband has blue eyes and all 3 of my sons definitely have blue eyes. No green at all. My hair colour is a honey shade of light brown and my skin colour is a warm yellowy colour. Again I am the only one.
    2
  4427. I have green eyes. My mom had green eyes, and 3 of my 4 children have green eyes.

  4428. I'm the only one in my family with Hazel eyes, my youngest sister has blue, my mom, dad, brother, and sister all have brown, I'm half German and half Mexican
    2
  4429. This is a little weird but my husbands last name was McKinley. He was full blood Navajo American Indian. What??? There was a country named Mckinley too. When I asked him how he got a Scottish surname, he laughed and said we figure some drunk Scotsman made a lasting impression on the reservation. Wink wink. I would like to know if there really is a clan Mckinley.
    2
  4430. I have Hazel eyes, mainly green and a bit of brawn in the centre. At times, they are more green, other times more yellowish.

  4439. Another great video. I think Chumbawamba's song "Tubthumping" is the appropriate anthem for the Caledonians / Picts and their many, many conflicts with the Romans (from 70 to 400AD). They simply refused to give in.

  4460. I'm Scottish ❤
    2
  4461. To answer your question, I just looked in the mirror. I’d always assumed my eyes were brown but never really thought about it . I could see some Green around the circumference of my irises, so I ask my wife of 30-odd years - Hazel, she says without hesitation. Right. I have brown in my passport, driver’s licence and anywhere else such things are recorded. Fancy finding something out about yourself in your 50s! But for great looking eyes, my wife takes the biscuit. A light-mid grey, that like the song says, sometimes looks blue and sometimes looks green. I’ve never really thought about my eye colour, other than when asked for ID purposes, and I’ve always said brown. 😀 I do notice other people’s eyes because as a sometime artist, I find the human eye one of the most beautiful objects in this world. I just never really thought about mine.

    2
  4471. I come from a town in Mexico and here people are kinda proud of their spanish heritage, unlike other parts of Mexico hazel and green eyes are not that uncommon. Blue eyes are very strange to see around here though. I am part of the people who have heard "are your eyes brown or green?"

  4506. I'm a green eyed, dark haired Canadian. I honestly don't know much about my background. My mom didn't know for sure who her real father was, only that his last name might have been Fischer, and no one ever got a straight answer from my Grandma about her background. I heard German, English, possibly some Mohawk...but she died when I was 12 so I don't know for sure. My bio dad left when I was a baby and all I've heard about him was half Irish, half English. I don't know if anyone on his side has green eyes, but no one on my mom's side did. My brother had blue eyes and my sister's are hazel. And I'm pretty sure my mom's half sister's eyes were blue...mom's were hazel. As far as I know I'm the only green eyed one

    2
  4510. Oh and my DNA is almost half Scottish, along with Irish, English, German..ect.
    2
  4511. I think the Youtune knows our eye colour, becaise this video was recomended to me and everybody in the comments has green eyes. I have hazel eyes (that's green with light brown right?). I was born with blue eyes.
    2
  4512. I'm confused about the word 'Pretani'. Is it what the britonic celts called themselves, - what the romans called the britonic celts, - or what the britonic celts called the picts?
    2
  4513. The mirror and comb are a fertility symbol... no ugly ladies have ever been considered as fertile as the pretty ones. Snakes usually represented energy and were known to emerge from under stone piles and from the ground. It's likely a geodesic fertility node marker stone.

    2
  4523. The reason Neanderthal dna is reducing with time is that the Neanderthal population was quite small, covered a large area and were quite inbred. They had a lot of deleterious mutations due to this inbreeding. The genealogical ancestry from Neanderthals is 10 - 20%, but the genetic ancestry is 2%.
    2
  4524. I have a green ring around iris and then blue outside that. My mother had one green eye and one brown eye.
    2
  4525. Yes, Scythia sounds like Scotia and Cimmeria sounds like Cymru. If you combine this with the supposed Trojan origins of the British and Egyptian connection of Partholón, you end up with a compelling idea, which people clearly once believed in and therefore deserves further investigation. We've made massive advances in the study of ancient DNA over the last twenty years, so it should be possible to put some meat on the bones, so to speak, if not eyes and hair.

  4527. My mother, daughter and I all have hazel eyes. My new fella also has hazel eyes. Mom was more brown and green and the rest of us are more blue/gray/green.❤

  4528. I followed one of my ancestral lines back to the Bruce's, and that line went further back to the Jarl of Orkney. Thus it seems like a Scandinavian viking then settled in Northern France and then became Norman. Then subsequently a Norman Bruce is back in another part of Scotland.

  4556. Although I'm a R1b, supposedly with some R1a via genealogy, I really hope there's some Western Hunter Gatherer still knocking about in there. As to the theories: Although logical, there isn't any greater evidence of WHG coming through the matriarchal DNA, as far as I know. So I'm not convinced of the 'kill all the men and take all the women' theory. I still think there's a larger underlying 'failure to reproduce' issue here; whether that is the WHGs were already teetering on the edge of extinction (like our Neanderthal cousins before them) or a viral pandemic carried by the Yamnaya that principally effected the WHGs, or a massive and immensely effective genocide. The genocide theory seems too centralised and too based on a massive cultural investment of all Yamnaya in removing the 'natives'; although possible we're not finding mass war graves (as yet). The 'technological superiority' theory doesn't hold in any way true as better technology always assimilates into earlier cultures after the shock of the new is absorbed, eg: the horse and the gun into Native American culture. Lactose tolerance would also have been assimilated genetically by interbreeding (if people from the two cultures interbred, as did Homo Sapien and Neanderthal before) after a few generations, no surprise that our first herder ancestors developed lactose tolerance. Not convinced that WHGs all committed suicide by drinking milk either. The jury is still out on this ... I'm edging closer to the 'plague' idea though, which might explain why we're not finding inhumations or cremations of WHGs. You die the survivors simply walk away from the body, no ceremony, just fear. If anyone knows of any relatively up-to-date scientific/academic research relating to this mystery, that is publicly available (no space aliens or ancient Atlanteans, thank you) I'd be really interested to know.

  4599. What about the other island that appears on that first map? It seems to be called Demar. I think they were both myths as evidence of them, would have been found by now. It could be that sailors spotted other islands like Rockall, which is further north, or even one the Faroe Islands. If they had been mistaken in their navigation, and thought they were further south, closer to Ireland, they could have mistaken one those islands for Brasil

    2
  4613. Another thought is that if a genetic mutation doesn't bring any disadvantage, it's just as likely to be furthered along in the population. So while blue eyes may provide some evolutionary advantage by helping vision in low light, it's also possible that a mutation occurred in a particular population and then gradually spread with them to other populations geographically.

Was it the Fife peoples [ as were called now ] that were kept at bay behind the wall ? Or had the romans contained, controled and killed the Fife peoples therefore keeping all other tribes on the other side out ?

  4765. I thought the same thing after I saw the movie - why no mention of even the one bean sídhe? I liked the comment made in the film that they don't scream any more, they just quietly watch. I forget who says this though - maybe Colm? The film was also made an Achill Island off of Co. Mayo. Any hilly areas in the film, like Colm's house or the pub, I think, were filmed on Achill. Inishmore has cliffs around much of the island and is flat or gently rolling on top, with a lot of glacial carved rock. Pádraig's and Siobhán's cottage is on Inishmore. I loved the film and so did my husband. I thought setting it against the backdrop of the Irish Civil War and so much senseless death dealt by friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor, etc. was brilliant. Maybe the banshees are quiet now because they're all screamed out from potato famines to Irish uprisings to civil war, and on and on. Too much death, even for a banshee to deal with. The acting was fantastic. I knew what to expect from Gleeson and Farrell - love their work, especially Gleeson's - but I had never seen Kerry Condon before, and when I saw Barry Keoghan I realized I had seen him at least in Dunkirk and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, also with Farrell. But they were both great. I especially loved the character of the wise fool, poor Dominic. It was heartbreaking but not unexpected that one so vulnerable as he might end up dead somehow, whether by suicide or accident. I have to confess that I was equally sad about the untimely death of Jenny, Pádraig's adorable mini donkey. Awww, Jenny.

  4773. woo-hoo a new video! I agree with this 100%, but not just Ireland, it represents all tribes around the world. The elves, dwarves, dragons & wizards are related also to vampires, werewolves, witches & druids, just different verbiage. (and no, I donʻt mean all these creatures are evil. Iʻm referring to humans/hybrids with powers basically. Also tied to Rh Negative bloodlines). If you study etymology from different languages and animal totems you start to see this picture. Nicholas De Vere and Sir Laurence Gardener go into detail on this. There is mythos of my ancestors in multiple continents living in advanced societies underground for ages. For example....the mother of all huge hidden cavernous places - the altai mountains. You will find all kinds of mythos and weird mummies surrounding the Altais. And connections to different continents.
    2
  4774. 😂😂😂 I had a dear friend that was both Campbell and MacDonald 😮 She used to say that she had inner conflicts 😂 I just knew this video was TOO SHORT to include ALL of the Clans!

  4783. There's an Andy Scott sculpture trail which is well worth a day or twos drive around, all statues being in the Central Belt. When my oldest daughter was three I got an old rusty metal 1970's rocking horse, painted it and turned it into a Kelpie for her, with celtic art knotwork for mane and fetlocks, then made a bridle of seaweed green tasseled cord and stirrups of driftwood. She went on to become an excellent horsewoman and a swimming instructor. How about that for foreshadowing. She never did get that real pony for Christmas though !

  4988. It's good to see this kind of information getting discussed. I've personally travelled to the area where the battle allegedly took place. I did this in the depths of a very rainy winter. What I can confirm is that the grass - even with weeks of rain - was like a bowling green. Because of the geography of the area, rainwater appears to drain away. This matters because it means no marshland. If there's no marshland then the official account of the battle falls apart.

His wife is from Liverpool. Her cousin had came state side to visit. And I could NOT understand a single word he said his Liverpool accent was so thick!😂 But he was totally cool about it.

  5083. Any connection between Type O Rh Neg and hazel eyes?
    2
  5084. Thanks for the great explanations, for me as a German not very familiar with the Irish or Gaelic topics it was very clarifying. Even while watching the movie (OV) I got to feel the hinting towards the Irish conflict that is just as strange and inexplicable to an outsider as is this sudden falling apart between the two friends in this idyllic setting in this small paradise away from it all... and the first appearance of Padraic's sister ("maybe he doesn't like you anymore") immediately got to me as bringing up the bad things to follow by saying it out loud- which would make her something of an evil doomsayer or Banshee as well ? What a fantastic film.

So much information I am still piecing together. All I know is that I rolled out of Appalachia into East Texas, then kept going until I hit San Antonio.

  5089. I have no idea why youtube recommended this to me, but it's pretty good! A couple of quick things: Brennus captured Rome in 390 BC, not AD. One of the big reasons Rome falling was such a shock was that it was 800 years since anyone (outside of civil wars) had done that! The video only really discusses one reason why the empire fell (the migrations) while not really discussing others. Also, a discussion of the relative strengths of the Roman emperors of the time (or probably more importantly, their magister militum and/or their mother, depending on who) would have been useful; both the sack of Rome in 410 and in 455 are directly related to the powers behind the throne being stabbed. Also, the repeated children/puppet emperor problem. Production quality is very good! I liked the video a lot especially for a small channel, could have just added a bit more meat and potatoes on the reasoning

  5100. My mother’s eyes were exactly like green olives (without the pimento), literally, and my dad’s were blue. I always said mine were hazel, neither blue or olive green. If I wear a blue shade of shirt they look turquoise. People might remark then. But my mom’s were really unusual in that they were flat out of the jar olive green. Northern English, German. Dad’s side Norwegian, northern Euro. So way down somewhere probably huh? Ha. .

    2
  5109. Hazel eyes here! I live in the US. DNA results show me to be predominantly Scottish, then Irish, then a small percentage of Norwegian. However, I also had a small percentage of Spanish heritage show up in my initial test. However, with updates, that’s now disappeared. When you mentioned hazel eyes appear in over half of Spain’s population, I wondered, did my hazel eyes come from a Spanish ancestor? Made me feel a bit more exotic.

  5150. what language? we'll sadly likely never know...however, some place names in the UK are thought to predate the bell beaker/proto-celts. Largely river names. Also, there's some evidence that Goidelic was interacting with speakers who spoke a Basque-like language. Was this because that was a language spoken in ancient Ireland or did the Gaels migrate to Ireland from Spain? Here's the links. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasconic_substrate_hypothesis

  5222. Thank you, as always, for the lesson. Western hunter gatherers, in my humble option, seem to have filtered into western and northern Europe in small groups coming from southern Siberia, the western Pontic Stepp and the Black Sea area as the climate allowed. There were probably people moving back and forth for trade and encouraging others to follow. These different groups mixed over thousands of years developing lighter skin and eyes. These changes occurred long before the much larger Stepp migrations. Best Wishes to you Steven.

  5244. I have a natural chestnut colour of hair. When seen in daylight even though it's dyed blonde these days there is still a load of red/gold in my hair colour. I had freckles as a small child. I watched another science documentary saying that there seems to be a relationship between red hair and left handed people. I'm also left handed, my husband was watching me put cat drops in the cats ears, there are two types of drops one for each ear. He was holding the cat as he watched me decide which was his right ear. He asked have I always had problems telling right from left? I said I would watch people when I was little and copy them (mirror image) them. I wonder if that is true of other lefties? I'm a retired anaesthetic nurse and was always told red headed people bleed more during surgery!
    2
  5245. Light seems obvious to me as being the factor driving evolutionary trends in eye color, just as it explains lighter skin. But looking at various percentages of exceptions in current populations, and even going back centuries, doesn’t demonstrate anything. When populations began mixing, the original genetic makeups in various locations would have changed, and human population mixing happens far faster than genetic changes usually do.

  5331. I have been studying various symbol stones since 2011. I will not debate whether or not the symbols have meaning. That is for other venues. However, the mirror cannot mean soul. The way it is used on stones, and often in combination with the comb, would suggest something quite different. Best guess (at the moment with more research needed) is that it represents a title or some sort of designation.

  5407. Genocide is likely, since in the case of the Yamnaya, it is probably a warrior, armed ethnic group. This also follows from later historical events and conquests. But another explanation, which I read not long ago, is that a plague epidemic ravaged the Neolithic farmers already living in Europe. In some places, more than a hundred years passed between the burials of the two cultures, which indicates a successive presence rather than a conquest.

  5489.  @celtichistorydecoded  I have been learning a lot about my history - Scottish and Anglo Saxon and I recently discovered I have some Pict ancestry too. Learning my history has made me a stronger person. Actually my great-grandmother's mother tongue was Gaelic. She and her family were part of the Scottish diaspora who settled in Prince Edward Island Canada some years after the Battle of Culloden.

  5501. Sorry I missed this one! Thank you for taking time to direct me to this video!! Makes sense about memory and trying to keep things within the belief/cultural system "private". But not having manuscripts makes it easy for memory to be lost or overwritten by other cultures. The other side of my lineage didn't write things down either, but a lot of the memory continues to remain concerning religious beliefs because it was so ingrained in the culture as a whole. And the culture wasn't over run as long ago as the Celtic area of Gaul.

    2
  5510. The trouble with removing one part of history is where do you start, and where do you stop ? What about the Celts arriving from Europe , the Irish Scotti from Ireland etc. However, if we just confine it to the Anglo Saxons if they didn't come, the Danes would still have landed and probably taken over the whole country and as the Angles who became the English came from Denmark in the first place, would it have made much difference? Who really knows, thoughts fun to speculate .
    2
  5511. I live in west virginia, and am surprised to hear green eyes are that rare! I know tons of people around here with them, so i guess it makes sense knowing a large percentage of people here have irish heritage?

  5702. Green eyes with most of my ancestors coming from Ireland, Scotland, and England.
    2
  5703. My family history says my ancestors all hailed from the British Isles, but all over the place within that archipelago. It would be interesting to do a DNA test to get more information - is there a guide to DNA / ancestry testing, that tells what each test includes and excludes and how much they each cost?
    2
  5704. I have two brothers with blue/gray eyes and one sister with the same eyes. I must come frome some where else as I have hazel-brown eyes. Ha! they found the largest Vikingship in Norway 200 meters from my house... I don´t know... my mother has the same eye color... maybe we are not vikings like the rest of the family with blue eyes.

    2
  5713. interesting thing I find, is how despite being two small neighbouring countries, the netherlands has over 60% blue eyes and Belgium only 25! on the other hand Belgium has far, far more red hair and green eyes than the Netherlands... so the germanic/celtic differences are still there from before the Roman conquest of the area. i'm an interesting case myself, my hair is dark brown and curly, my eyes light blue and my skin relatively dark compared to the others here but freckled, I am from Antwerp, north of Belgium.

  5749. The reason Indonesia and Malaysia (two registers of the same language) are in Category 2 is because of their very easy grammar. The language has no verb tenses, no conjugations of verbs, no plurals and no cases (even for Pronouns which in English have cases like I me my)... it's also writt3n phonetically and in Latin script (it was written in arabic script before the Dutch and British unfortunately colonised the islands, every greedy for spice.. and that's why Indonesian/Malaysian is in Category 2.

  5750. They represent two different worlds.. look at the connection between then, the demarcation line is the zig.. there is the physical world and the mystic or spiritual world...

  5765. Interesting that the very Gaelic sounding Dunbar has Saxon roots and the Anglo sounding Maxwell has Gaelic roots. I never considered that Saxons were adopted into Gaelic society but if Vikings were, then no reason that Saxons wouldn’t be adopted too. Btw, Am bheil Gàidhlig agad?

  5771. I was mind blown to see me as a direct descendant of two distant ancestors who had the same parents, and both of them were direct ancestors of mine. I thought it could be incest. I was born in Mexico and raised in the United States. I also have discovered ancestors born in Spain, Portugal and Italy. I also descend from a few famous ancestors. I have gone far back like 20 generations already to find ancestors. I can't wait to tell stories to my children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

    2
  5775. I have more green than brown with a blue ring
    2
  5776. I'd be willing to bet that gray-eyed people are much larger in number than what's reported because a lot of them just say they have blue eyes.

  5793. Westros and Easteros were inspired by Wester Ross and Easter Ross, where the author literally went for inspiration! Also at 0:53 I see a Red Banner with 3 Lions, the Great Clan Ross ruled by the War Master and Chief the Earls of Ross (1st which being Fearchar the Son of the Priest) has 3 Lions on a Red Background as our Crest. Go Check out the 1st Stuart Kings 2nd Wife's Dress, a Queen Consort Ross, it's Red with 3 Lions because that is our Pedigree! There was a Queen Ross in France at some point, and we sided with the French against the English in the 100 Years War at Times, but the picture at 53 shows that Clan Ross Battle Flag, but everyone refuses to talk about us, and has some real Hatred for Ross, kind of seems like this Guy from this Channel has a Problem with Ross if he will make a Video like this and never mention Westeros is Wester Ross, and how the Author literally went their for Inspiration!

  5821. The Romans never actually accomplished a total conquest of Britain. Two full legions were required to be permanently stationed on the bourder of the Cymru Welsh.Thats 60000 troops. This was the Helmand Province of its day and no Roman was safe outside their trading ports and fortifications. The indigenous native Briton's tolerated this presence , as it was good for trade and commerce. The Roman narrative is flawed. Pre Roman roads exist, pre Roman coins and metalworking furnaces have been found in London, along with evidence of bridges that spanned the river long before Rome set foot on the island. Everything found in Britain is labelled Roman Saxon or Norman before a spade has even hit the ground.The echo chamber academic establishment bubbles that peddle this tired narrative have a vested Anglo centric interest which is keen to ignore anything that is native indigenous British. Romans did not found London. Despite the might of Rome the Saxon's Angles Jutes Flemish Vikings and numerous mercinary hordes. The Normans Norman English and eventually the English, the ancient Cymru are still here despite everyone and everything. This story however is ignored and air brushed from view. It's an embarrassment to the establishment how a tiny nation of sheep shaggin hill tribes could have survived millennia of cultural linguistic and genocidal ethnic cleansing. As a result, the Cymru Welsh are the least known of the so called Celts. But still surviving, still proud and still retain the ancient tongue. The proximity to Ireland and the ancient connection is strangely ingnored by the mainstream Heddwch/ Peace in the ancient British language of the native indigenous Cymru.

  5823. I have green eyes and blonde hair. I am an American with Swedish, Irish and Scottish ancestors.
    2
  5824. Thank you for this and this is true. The Irish Annals, folklore + mythology speaks of one of the first waves of people that came to Ireland as being the “Fomorians”. The Fomorians can be equated to the Hunter Gatherers. They are said to be have been of Dark skin colour. Also, in the Irish language, there is County Kerry in South West Ireland which comes from the Irish “Ciarraí”. Ciarraí in Irish means “Land of the Dark Skinned people. There is also the Irish name “Ciarán” which means a very dark complexioned person. Although many Irish people have light complexions, it is also common for Irish people, especially in the West of Ireland to have very dark complexions.

  5828. It was Written in the Declaration of Arbroath Sealed by the Ross' Ancestor (its a Pedigree) the Chief of the Great Clan Ross, the Earl of Ross that we are Scythians! And the Scoti Royals and Nobles writing the Pope were talking about themselves. Its well known Scotland is named after Scotia and Egyptian Princess who Married a Scythian Prince and they became the King and Queen of a Group of People who Invaded Northern Ireland, and gathered their Strength and than Parts of Scotland. Like what is a Prince and Princess supposed to do when they don't have a Kingdom but Clans willing to Follow them? Its easy, go find your own little corner of the World, so they Did!!!

  5853. That the DNA evidence proves that there was no Anglo-Saxon genocide in what we call today as England came as a shock to many. There was also a substantial Irish influx in both western Scotland and Cornwall and Devon about the same time. The final destruction of the old British nation was most likely due to an event called the 'Plague of Justinian', a massive pandemic that decimated Europe and the Near East in/around the 550s. The tribes along the north sea moving west simply walked into a deserted land with no one left to stop them. Archeologists have long been puzzled by the fact that by 600 almost every city in the Britain had been completely abandoned and most of the Roman roads were simply consumed by natural erosion. Again, the plague had likely killed near everyone. The Welsh histories report that the survivors evacuated into Britany and only returned 7-11 years later. Gregory of Tours gives a French perspective on the disaster and describes whole regions of France reverting to wilderness due to depopulation. As for the few Britons left, they seemed to have been gradually assimilated into the Anglo-Saxon community. New linguistic theories have further suggested that there is evidence that Old English contains signs that it was learned by Brythonic speakers who imparted changes to the original language. This is a great vid on this subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmzIunLtRzQ

  5873. Hazel, green, and blue eyes in central Asia and northern India come from the Bactrian empire, which was made up of Greeks who were deported to there from Egypt by the Persians prior to Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian Empire. The Bactrian Greeks moves south from Afghanistan after being defeated by the Chinese, who wanted their "heavenly horses" to use against the Mongols and other nomads, and that's how the Silk Road began!
    2
  5874. This is a fascinating topic. The old Victorian theory of genocide/re-population is long done. It is now clear that the post-roman britons merged with the new ruling tribes over a process of centuries.

  5913. More than likely the terrain was too difficult for legions to have pitch battles. Mountains, forests, wolves , minior kings plus brutal weather . They would known about raw materials in Ireland from jewelry and weapons but at the end of the day Ireland had clans at war constantly so they were seasoned fighters, maybe it was a bridge to far, the Romans were not stupid, the risk was not worth the reward.

  5929. I've no doubt they were deeper into the North American continent than previously believed. Perhaps there is little evidence given that it was a thousand years ago, and anything left behind was quickly absorbed and used by the Native North Americans. There are many sources online about this topic, although officially archeologists mostly view it as nonprofessional pseudoscience. Hopefully there is more evidence out there waiting to be discovered and/or verified. Thanks for the video.

  6038. I've dreamed of Brighid occasionally. For some reason in my late 20s i started having these 'goddess' dreams. And the other goddess i've dreamed of is whom i simply call the 'cow goddess' and i tend to identify her with Hathor for obvious reasons, yet both Brighid and Hathor are both identified with cattle .. mothering, nurturing, and fertility. And i've dreamed of both in threefold form also ... the main identifiers being that in the Brighid dreams there is always some reference to her red/golden hair, and with the cow goddess dreams she always shows as half woman, half cow or just as a cow and there is nearly always water in those dreams also, like a river, canal, or lake. One time she was a cow with three faces. And with Brighid, she has appeared more than once as three sisters or close female friends, and In those dreams she always seems to write my name in a book, and on two occasions carries a musical instrument. They seem to show up when there's a romantic interest in my life.

  6067. Hi! I'm an American woman of largely U.K. ancestry (Irish, English, Welsh in order of majority) and Germanic ancestry from what was formerly Western Pomerania, and is now Poland. My natural hair color was brown/black, and my eyes are a rather deep green. My mother (no germanic blood) had the dark hair and green eyes. Dad (lots of German blood) had pale blue/grey eyes with sandy hair in his youth which turned dark as he got older - and then fell out. I also inherited my porcelain skin from Mom, along with genes for serious premature graying. So, yeah . . . looks like the video's info holds true.

  6101. I always thought I had brown growing up because that's what my parents called them but as I got older I noticed they were really kind of amber yellowish hazel with green around the edges. They look green or hazel colored in the middle depending. My guess is it's a mutation of a mix of blue and brown like green.

    2
  6151. Im sure hazel eyes are caused by having some of the genes for blue eyes and some of the genes for brown eyes. Basically a mixture between the two. But as you say the environment may have an influence on how these genes are expressed, in individuals.

  6162. I am descended from Sinclair and Campbell. My mother's grandfather Robert (Sinclair) St Clair was born on Prince Edward Island and migrated to the US after the Civil War (he changed his surname when he enter the US). My Surname is Campbell and I can trace (with certainty) my Campbell line to my 2nd Great Grandfather Judge William Campbell 1810-1862) He died in the American Civil War. It get hazy (with too many Campbells in the same place often with the same first name to be sure) but records indicate that my Campbell line came from Argyll and Bute, Scotland and migrated to North (or South) Carolina before the Revolution.
    2
  6163. Very interesting! I have deep blue eyes. My ancestors were Pict. I noticed something about my eyes today. When I come indoors from the bright outside light, I see a ring of light in my vision. It is like a donut shape in the middle of my vision. Then it slowly fades away after I've been inside a little while. Maybe what I am seeing is my iris. The darker spot in the middle is my pupils.?

  6204. I watched it last night and was very impressed. This is a perfect example of having a gay character that doesn't offend my historical sensibilities. I'm like you. I'm only offended when it's obviously shoved in as a political agenda. I have a feeling the writer knew quite a bit of esoteric history. As proof notice Freya's six-spoke Yule Wheel which hangs above many of the doorways in the palaces. This Yule wheel is described in "The Oera Linda".

    2
  6216. Interesting thoughts on an interesting film that is SO against the tide of others today (an ad for the godawful looking Whitney Houston biopic is playing on the tv as I type!). The folk roots are there, for sure, but they aren’t forced, and I think McDonaugh appropriates them as needed. I’ll watch the movie again someday to reconsider those aspects. Like a good book, I’m not sure there can ever be a 100% full interpretation. Loved the two lead performances, but the supporting actors/characters are also great. Barry K. (spelling?) is a star!

Biggest concentration of blue eyes still in finnic people and countries that used to have large populations of finnic people. Propably spread all over europe with vikings and other northern germanic (Norway and Sweden especially) people who had mixed with finnic people.

All the results were what I expected, except having more Scottish than Welsh lol. I'm guessing the Norwegian is from my Scottish side as no one in the family knows where it came from haha.

  6273. If you look at a hazel nut on a tree, the green leaves around the nut look like hazel eyes. My great granddad had brown. His daughter had blue, my grandmother, and her sister too. Their mother had blue. My dad had brown eyes from her, though my dad's dad had blue. It seems like that's why I have hazel.

  6294. The connections between all these great nations and The North Atlantic are irrefutable. At this point anybody still preaching the isolationist doctrine should be laughed into retirement. The big question still remains, even if Academia thinks it's settled. Where did they come from originally? I'm saying it's The North Atlantic. Academia seems to be willing to entertain the notion of civilization being established first in any other part of the world. Why not The North Atlantic? Sailing is the one huge factor eluding them. Trade-routes were all important and empire-building. If you haven't yet read it. Read "The Oera Linda".

Maybe as a child i did, but as my father has brown eyes and my mother green, i hope the lighting in the bathroom did truly confirm that i have darker moss green eyes. If its dark lighting, they can be confused for being brown.

  6411. The gene that controls red hair also causes a light skin pigmentation, an inability to tan to the same degree and the ability to produce more vitamin D endogenously than usual. It seems to be an adaptation to places in northern climate explaining how it could of emerged in Central Asia since there were people who inhabited quite far north.

  6414. Does diet affect eye color? Since I was a child, I have had fairly dark brown eyes - like my mother's, but a few years ago I noticed that my eyes have become lighter and there are light greenish parts visible on the edges. The only thing that has changed for me is that I switched to a plant-based diet over 10 years ago.
    2
  6415. My eyes are hazel to green, especially if I use purple eye makeup. I recently dyed my hair red (it is naturally gray now, it was dark brown before gray), and now the green really pops! They are green in the sunlight. They go towards brown on cloudy days, no makeup days, and generally boring days. My DNA test results show 98% Scottish, Irish, English, and Norwegian ancestry. Hazel eyes are almost chameleons!

  6432. I lost my ability to drink milk by itself at age 6. One day at school, I began drinking from my thermos, and couldn’t get two gulps down before I began gagging on it. From then on could never chase down a glass of milk. However, I LOVED buttermilk, and could drink it anywhere, anytime to this day. My mother was the same way. Her parents migrated from Poland, so I guess it’s that Northern European gene pool. My brother, however, had no issue with milk.

  6464. is there genetic evidence of this?
    2
  6465. The lack of light theory does makes sense - but I wonder why that same mutation didn’t occur amongst the Indigenous ppls in the North, particularly what is now CAN. I’m CANian and live fairly south in NS, and we have very little light during the winter months, as well as tons of foggy, misty, rainy and low-light days most of the year. I wonder why blue eyes didn’t develop among the Mi’kmaq ppl, for example, who have lived in this climate for thousands of yrs? Genetics are fascinating!

  6523. Perhaps the psychological trauma of the retreat from Doggerland as the sea rose was transmitted down through the ages and caused the truculent conservatism seen in East Anglia today?

  6537. Whether it was a meteor, earthquake, tsunami or nuclear weapons from India, I think it was definitely a real place. Passed down verbally through many generations in the Egyptian period who then passed it on to the Greeks. If you look at Google maps you can see how vast the Atlantic Ridge is and on it's Northern parts lies the Acores with it's many wee Islands. Which are quite possibly the remaining summit mountain peaks of a much more mahoosive land mass now submerged. It is South West of Ireland and West of Portugal, Morrocco and of the Western Sahara. Probably got submerged around the same time as Doggerland (between British Isles and the European Continent

  6541. Afterthought: Would the late Bronze Age continental population flow into Britain not have possibly encountered a very similar Beaker derived culture and language? Trade between Britain and the continent alone might have facilitated a broad evolution of the Celtic dialects by the Halstatt era?
    2

Family members believe that my grandad was the spitting image of the Dukes of Argyll. Can the Campbell surbame come from anywhere other than that lineage? This mystery is the only one that would persuade me to have my DNA tested, but what type of test would give the best clues? Great video. Thanks. Subscribed!

  6706. How the MC1R gene exactly reached Europe and where it suddenly came from (as it's a mutation) is difficult to 100% proof. But how it SPREAD.... let's just say Redhead People are very, very beautiful 👩🏻‍🦰

  6715. What about the statue of the Virgin Mary, which is seen at the crossways of the island path numerous times throughout the film. That would seem to be another banshee, i assume representing the church in Ireland - foretelling death caused by the longstanding battles in Ireland between Catholics and Protestants. Also at the end the old woman is seen holding the hook across her lap. The Imagery does make you think of the grim reaper. In the film the hook doesn’t cause the death, the old lady merely uses it to hook the body, and show it to the father. There is a lot to think about here. The father represents the law, but is seen as naked in one scene and is merely a brute authoritarian. He brags about various murders and deaths as “news”. There is a division between him and his family/his only son, who he rejects and beats. When he is on his way to meet out justice on padraic for burning down Colm’s house, the banshee pulls him aside to show him the death of his son. Death of that relationship.

  6730. I had heard that the Vandals and Visigoths came from Germany and eastern european regions and had settled in many parts of coastal north africa as well as Iberian peninsula. So that could be the reason behind the apparent illogical distrubution of North African ancestry inside Spain.

  6773. My mother had brown, my father has hazel. My eyes are a lighter brown somewhere between brown and hazel. My oldest son has eyes that look brown much of the time but when he wears certain outfits or he gets angry, his eyes are a very deep vivid green. His father's eyes were blue so, although I have always thought of my eyes a light brown, but perhaps I am actually hazel and not brown after all. This was interesting.
    2
  6774. I have hazel eyes, as did my father (mom had blue eyes.) Interestingly, we are mostly English and Scottish with a bit of Scandinavian in our background according to my DNA test, not really what would be expected according to this feature. Interesting info though.

  6776. Goths huh interesting I'm I1

    2
  6778. It's certainly conceivable that a roman legion caught in marching order in close countryside might be ambushed and destroyed by a determined enemy force, especially if they chose their ground well and the legion had become strung out along something like a narrow valley, but I can't help thinking that the explanation for the disappearance of Legio IX Hispana is probably something far more mundane.
    2
  6779. My mother had grey eyes that changed colors. Mine look brown until I get around the sea and they become green
    2

  6831. See page 2 of The Antiquities and History of Ireland By Sir James Ware from 1705 "On the other hand, the three males’ DNA reveals that a third of their ancestry came from ancient sources in the Pontic Steppe – a region spread across modern Russia and, yes, Ukraine." "The oldest recorded tartan was found with the mummified body of a red or brown-haired European discovered in the Taklamakan Desert, on the line of the Silk Road in western China, and dates back to between 1200BC and 700BC." The Scythians were called or called themselves "scoloti." This could easily be the root of "celtic" since some languages do not have vowels... Scoloti - coloti - celoti - celti - celtic 'Josephus writes: “Magog led out a colony, which from him were named Magoges, but by the Greeks called Scythians.” But Keating specifies the precise title of Scythians, from which the Irish Celts are descended. '
    2

  6869.  @celtichistorydecoded  Thank you for continued digging! It would be very interesting if there are any manuscripts written preferably by Celts but if not at least a more "moderate" observer that would have a different perspective on the situation. I was aware the Druids didn't want educated folks for some reason....never could understand exactly why no writing. Have a great day/night. And thank you for the work you do and share with us.

  6871. My sister and her kids have green eyes. But you have to get close to see it. When I was in Ireland, I saw an older woman with the most beautiful GRASS green eyes! You don’t find that many Americans with eyes that green. Also, you mentioned green eyes as more come in Iceland. I’m sure that you have heard that people in Ireland and Scotland get their red hair from the Vikings and I believe the same is said of green eyes. Although, I think that there are more red heads in Ireland and Scotland than in Iceland, Norway, Sweden, or Denmark.😮

  6874. It's no doubt a mutation for low light, as well as fair skin. And, the light might have been even much lower thousands of years ago that allowed the skin to turn fair to absorb more vitamin D and blue eyes to see in lower light

I had read somewhere that the personification of the celtic gods into people like beings was a consequence of Rome writing the history and they were meant to be more ethereal but it's more of just a conspiracy theory maybe.?

  6960. Its not that uncommon to have multiple unrelated mutations from different parts of the world, not just for humans but for all lifeforms. That's just evolution in action, sometimes it lasts, sometimes it lessens. Never convinced about the sexual selection arguments though, unless simply being different is a sexual attractor, which I suspect it is.

    2
  7013. At least in my case, I believe I have demonstrable proof that this connection between Wales and the Old North (Cumbric-speaking Brythonic Strathclyde), is true. My YDNA, which is I2c (Neolithic, or pre-Celtic), connects to just (and only) two families in Strathclyde: a specific branch of Wallace as well as Goff (or "Walyes" (Welsh- meaning "Briton", and "Goch" (red-haired or red-complected). Wish we had written examples of Cumbric... maybe it exists undiscovered in a library somewhere... one can hope at least.

  7016. Since Blue Eye mutation is recessive, it's possible (likely?) that the first person with the mutation didn't actually have blue eyes, but maybe Brown, and the second generation maybe had hazel or green eyes. It wasn't for 3 generations or more (likely a lot more unless incest was involed) that we started to see blue eyes appear.
    2

  7019. Since when were pumpkins a 'thing' in England? It used to be hollowed out turnips when I was young, many decades ago now, plus ducking for apples and suchlike. I always hated it. As far as I can see, Halloween is a piece of made up American nonsense, not connected to anything at all, which has found its way across the Atlantic and is "celebrated" by those too thick to know any better.

My great-grandparents came to America from Nova Scotia...He was John Campbell (born in Glasgow) and she was Mary MacDonald, born in Canada! Family legend muses that perhaps they had to live in the New World to get married! Thank you for your program ...

  7058. Hello there, question? I had my DNA done and it says 51% Irish, Scottish and Welsh (total shocker). Not sure how to get more information on this or how to find out about these markers you talk about. I am 39.2% North and West European and 7.8% Ashkenazi Jew.

    2
  7062. I can’t describe my gratitude to you and Scottish and Gælic people for all the help that indirectly have helped explain many aspects of Hungarian culture and language where Kelet in my language is word used for East for example being similar word to Celtic or the reason why my genetics or of my wife has so many Gælic connections even do being native to Carpathian basin for over 4000 years. Orosz as we call Russian is just another of many mysterious you helped me to solve since even do O as Ó can mean as being old Rosz(Ros) and Rus I could bridge or explain how came Hungarian use a different word till I was helped to realise that Ros is actually a Gælic Clan name hence Ó’Rosz is reference to once Rus Gælic identity before adopting a Indo-Iranian language and Orthodox. The very same name could be connected to ETRUSCAN where some Italian researchers have connected Hungarians to EtRUSCan while some traced they Italian genetics back to HunGerian which didn’t made any sense since we trace no connection to Roman groups nor Greeks but simply Scythian Hun-Han descendant which again could be explained only due to GaL,GauL,Gælic genetics and identity as Scythian being related to Scothian h Hence why all this various GaL groups appears throughout my genetics including Scordisci who I never have even heard off.Hence after connecting the dots I understood why Rossini is another common name amongst Italians since Ros-Sini(Soni) or Ros Son Is another of Gælic name and another point that proves how huge Gælic tribal alliance actually was since for me it was a surprise to see that my Scythian descendant which is claimed to be a Iranian group turned out to be actually a Gælic in its entirety from my side. So thank you very much for I couldn’t figure out the Nostradamus Summer of 1999 quatrain regarding the awakening of King of MonGol meaning ManGaL or many other things without your help and insights. Keep up the good work.

    2
  7088. The English say eaRTh and diRT, and Serbian language has a word RT which means basically the same as earth or dirt. On top of that, RT is a root of many other Serbian words, for example smRT which means death - so basically "smrt" means you go back to earth. "Vrt" means garden and so on... Other Slavic languages use RT as well but not as much as Serbian. So because RT is a basic, archaic Serbian word, it has to be of Serbian origin... Despite what others say, this has to be the case...

  7150. So I found out from my uncle who is actually a genealogist, luckily for me, that our highland ancestors who arrived in America in the 1700’s to North Carolina were Robert Bain (1738-1801) and his wife Martha McDonald (1744-1801). I sure wish we could find out more about where exactly they came from though.

  7162. I discovered Robert LeRoy De Norseman in family tree. Apparently that led to the an Olaf…Unwends? And if the saga’s are correct, the rest of the tree led me to Halfdan, Iverson, and Ragnar Lothbrok and many other familiar Viking names. I don’t believe it, but interesting to say the least. Not only that, by marriage, my tree led to Alfred the Great. All grandparents. DNA also links us to Europe including Scotland. And that’s just my mother’s side. The thought of Ivarr and Ragnar being distant grandparents, is just insane 🙃

    2
  7183. My wife is a Campbell and she suffers from migraines with paralysis which results in one side of her face temporarily slipping/dropping . I’m wondering if this was perhaps the reason behind the surname? That or possibly a stroke that’s caused the same issue.

Also mood changes my eyes which is interesting. Funny thing is I come from a family of 8 people and everyone in my family has brown eyes but me. I was the lucky one to get Hazel eyes.

  7250. green eyes, red hair

  7251. I think it's related to seeing better in the dark. Possibly even so that people could hunt at night, since some hunter-gatherers had darker skin and blue eyes. It makes sense.The "attractiveness" factor doesn't seem like it could be a reason, since it depends on what the rest of the person looks like. But it makes sense that it's regional too.
    2
  7252. I am a pict

  7256. My fathers family's the Holmes are from Strathclyde and my genetic test revealed that I'm related to the native peoples of this area. the name Holmes comes from the old Norse word Holmr which means those who dwell upon a small island. it would be fun to imagine that this could be Dumbarton rock but could honestly be any small island of the coast of western Scotland.

    2
  7264. "Never pick a fight with a red head".....says the red head...🤣 "Reds" can be interesting due to the wide range of red hair shades. Everything from flaming red to a copper/red brown. Had an Uncle with "flaming red" hair as did one grandma. Interestingly, due to being mixed race with Native American the end result was a copper brown red that would become streaked with gold red in the sun. All of us siblings are like that except for one who has dark brown hair. Hair colors are an interesting subject. Appears when people are mixed so are the hair colors. Thank you.

  7275. I am quite sure that the name Portugal came from Port of Gallaecia. My theory is based on the fact that Galaecia (northwest Iberia) was the main region on times before Christ until the XIII and Braga or Bracara Augusta was the main city. Capital of Celts Bracarae, capital of Galaecia and capital of the germanics Swabians. The port was not in Porto, but in Braga, because 2.000 years ago the sea went right to todays Braga. I sea the trace of that sea everyday from my house. Everyday theres a mist with the shape of the ocean. In fact, the Roman Geira Road that connects Braga to Rome has the ancient Roman bridge called Ponte do Porto, right to where the mist ends.

  7298. My surname is Lamb, but my paternal grandfather's surname is Scurr, and I can trace his ancestor to Aberdeen whose surname is Smith. But the funny thing is, I did the FamilyTreeDNA Big-Y and it turns out I match with three people bearing the Keith surname, with one claiming to be a direct descendant of the Earl Marischal line. Hervey de Keith, the supposed founder of the clan, is suspected to be a Norman/French knight that came to Scotland and became Marischal. My Y-DNA is: R-FTE46171. Which is a subclade of the broader U152 and L2 subclades, which are most commonly found in France and the rest of the West European Continent. I conclude I'm possibly a descendant of Clan Keith, and I might of never knew without taking this Y-DNA test. But that's still a maybe, as I also match with a Fergusson and two Gourlay(s). They all match with me very closely, with common ancestors ranging from 1300-1600, and they all have some connection to Aberdeen. Interesting, yet a little confusing 😅

  7483. part II. As for Celtics interacting with Stonehenge. I think its fare to say that this was not an indo european construction, but the Bell Beaker people assimilated this into their culture, as evidenced by the final phases of Stonehenge's construction being done by these people. Yet, one of the mysteries about the early Bell Beaker people in Britain is that almost all the male lines (90%) appear to have been replaced by Beaker people, whilst female lines remain largely unchanged. This has been seen in the continent to a similar but lower degree. No one is sure how this happened and theories of depopulation by disease to ''killing off'' all the rival men and wife-steeling abound.

Did you know that the 'seeing in the dark' thing was invented during WWII as a way to trick the Germans into believing the allies just had really good eyesight when in fact they were using radar?

Brown eyed people were fractionally faster than blue eyed people.

  7705. I take "dating" in general with generous pinch of salt, but this is interesting. As to the intelligence of hunter-gatherer peoples, you can't be stupid and live off the land in a place like northwest Europe. Also, think the diet and lifestyle would be preferable if the land and waters would support it.

  7706. I'm Anglo-Indian, my father was Indian and my mother was English. My father had hazel eyes, my mother had blue eyes.

  7720. Anse-aux-meadows is from a bad spelling. It should be Anse-aux-méduses or Jellyfishes Cove. Vinland might be a land of prairies as 'vin' might be related to Germanic "Wieden" or "Weiden" according to a very old reading. You might want to discuss about those Kelts brought by the Vikings as slaves or sea guides And I hope a topic about Navigatio sancti Brendani abbatis, or the Culdean priests faring through the sea.

  7746. one thing for certain there was no mythical scotti tribe came from ireland into scotland. scotlands name may have greek origins from skota which means dark in greek hence scotland land of darkness.....or it may come from the scandinavian word "skat" which means tax. that's probably where the phrase.....scot free comes from..or, the saxon word scuit.

  7771. I’ve traced my surname back to Scotland, one of two two families who have used it, no way to tell which family originated the name. One of the families that used the name was a Norman who settled in the land some time before/after the battle of Hastings, he took on a new last name, the other family was of royalty and actually contested the name as there was a dispute over land and the king gave it to the eldest of the two claiming the name. Next I’ll need a DNA test to see which family I connect too.

  7794. Can you break down the difference between hazel vs green with central heterochromia? I have about 75% green with the remaining being a green/yellow and then solid brown around the pupil. There's also a dark green/gray limbal ring. People often say I have hazel because there are both green and brown colors. But others say that the rings of color aren’t mixed “enough” throughout the entire iris. So that means they’re green with central heterochromia.

  7837. One thing the map does not do is seperate the English / British DNA in eastern lowland Britain. But since that part of England is 10-40% germanic, 60-90% of that genetic story is either not told by the map, or there has been such total integration between ancestral populations there that it is no longer possible to separate them. The Danes who lived in central England may have had Western Germanic DNA from Jutland, as modern Danish DNA may originate like the original Danes themselves from further East.
    2
  7838. I have hazel eyes. I’m from East Tennessee, USA, but both sides of my family were Scots Presbyterians who immigrated from Ulster in the early 1700s.

  7859. to the ancient Greeks and Romans the word barbarian really just meant foreigner. Anyone who wore pant spoke a non Latin language or were culturally different from them in any way was a barbarian and the Greeks often would measure how barbarian a culture was by how different their customs were. Even the word barbarian comes from the idea that all non Latin languages sounded like bar bar bar essentially the Latin version of blah blah blah.

  7916. Green eyes from a green eyed mother and a blue eyed father. Baltic/German/Slavic ancestory on both sides. As kids my nieces were delighted when I told them that the colour of my eyes was 'sunflower' because of the ochre around my irises. At a closer look the rest is more of a muddy grey than green. Overall it appears as a light khaki green.

If you have grey eyes and can see in barely any light at all please comment for science.

I think those are American terms assigned to the various Irish people who came to this country, but I'd love to know more about those terms if you have the time for that. My Dad was Hungarian/Czech/German. My Dad was green eyed, as was his grandmother (Hungarian), and my maternal grandmother was blue eyed (Irish).

    2
  7984. Interesting 🧐
    2
  7985. One thing I've wondered about: Are the areas of the British Isles we think of as "Celtic" (ie Wales, Scotland, Ireland, plus Cornwall and Cumbria) significantly more "Celtic" than England is, genetically? Or is there maybe a gradual transition as you go west and north? I'm English with north Germanic/Norse ancestry BTW.

    2
  8010. Thank you for the lesson.
    2
  8011. Thanks! Yes, I think the light has effected the eye color. I just saw a video, about 2 weeks ago, the guy was saying that due to the decrease of light, especially in northern Europe, has enabled blue eyed people to be able to see better in low light/night time.

    2
  8017. long light brown hair, beard, green eyes, love snus, beer, and met there must be a northern ancestry 😉🤣
    2
  8018. Great little vid. There's some confusion about the interaction between the Neolithic farmers and the western hunter-gathers (WHG). The reason why there is little WHG dna in modern Europeans (5-10% on av) is that there were very few WHG to begin with. Farming enabled a massive population increase of the Neolithic peoples into which the relatively small WHG populations were absorbed. As for the Atlantic coast theory of the origin of the Celts. I find this more convincing than the Hallstatt alternative, however I do not agree with the ''paleolithic continuation theory'' of Indo European languages as this has extraordinary problems against the standing Yamnya theory. The proto-Celts were likely formed by the Atlantic Bell beaker people circa 3rd millennium BC after its emergence from central Europe. The coastline and its river mouths serving as trade highways into which common Celtic arose. Linguists are finding it increasingly difficult to make the evolution of the various daughter Celtic languages fit into the short timeline that the Hallstatt theory affords. Especially as there appears to be Celtic or Celtic-like languages and peoples in regions long before the Hallstatt western expansion. These being the Lusitanian, Tartessian, Ligurians, Belgians etc. Also, the evidence presented for the Hallstatt expansion is rather weak, consisting of a gradual change in funeral and artistic practices.

  8027. it's quite interesting you said something about the Berbers of Africa in the Scottish Genes. I had my 23 and me done last year, I'm American, and apparently Ulster Scots, like 92.7% (Taylor surname). BUT, surprisingly there is a 0.3% North African in there that is a complete mystery to me, as a 99.5% Northern European genetic guy. Very Curious!

  8396.  @celtichistorydecoded  true but under the union of the crowns. Mostly lowlanders have regularly joined army forces with the English and made joint colonial residence. Here in the United States And Canada for example the British Empire used Scottish militias and settlers to build the cities and be frontiersmen who'd be buffer of the English and the natives or French holding them back in wars expanding borders of colonial holdings. Many plantation holders in the Caribbean and U.S South were as likely Scottish as English. That's all I'm saying

  8427. Awesome video! I really believe that "she" is important on the matter of the meaning behind the film. As watching it, because of the dialogue, I made a connection between the bombs of the war in the continent and the screams of the banshees as a sign of dead. But, in Brazil, where I'm from, the title of the movie was translated to "Os Banshees de Inisherin", as if the "banshees" were male figures, and it leads to an incomplet understanding of the movie and the importance of the character of Mrs. McCormick on it! Luckly, I'm a huge mitology entusiast and, in my researches on the movie, I found your video, and it gave me a deeper understanding on the magic of this movie I really liked!

  8544. I liked the movie. I though it was a metaphor for the Irish Civil War. The film got me to think what it means to be Irish. I am 4th generation Irish American. I have been to Ireland, but I fear it is losing its identity, though I am happy to see a resurgence in the teaching of the Irish language. I have been trying to teach myself the language and the point you make about the si is an interesting as Si is the female pronoun, Se being the male pronoun. I liked your review and loved the movie. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are among my favorite actors. I hope somebody associated with this film wins an Oscar.

  8629. Thanks for the wonderful review of Irish lore. I can’t say I enjoyed this film but it was enigmatic and broke my heart… which was its intention. Colin Farrell blew me away. But coming here (and reading so many wonderful dissections in the comment section) has really helped me process it. I think there’s also an important herald in the “nice” trope. Nice was such an important theme, and the characters couldn’t seem to understand why they were suffering despite the niceness they had put into the world. It’s almost as though they had internalized “nice” to be the same as “safety” or “peace.” But in a later line when speculating Colm may be depressed, Padraic asked why he can’t push down his feelings like everyone else on the island. It makes me think of the quote “nice guys finish last” because it observes that niceness, while pleasant, has diminishing returns. Nice is a placid approach to life. It’s neither bad nor good, simply passive. It was only after each character took active steps towards their life that things began to change, whether for the better or worse. It was gorgeous and devastating. And way more barbaric than I was prepared for. I won’t be revisiting it, but I will certainly keep reading up on it. Quite brilliant observations have been made here. Thanks again.

  8633. Hi, film/theatre student here! My interest is piqued by the other Japanese mask in Colm's house. It comes from Noh theater and while it is less striking than the Oni Baba mask, it has a lot of significance. Noh theater is, much like the film, intended to be slow, spiritual, folk-lore based and meditative, contrasting Kabuki which is sort of an everyman's version, much more crowd pleasing and accessible to understand. Anyway, in Noh theater the actor puts on their mask and embodies his character from that moment on. The masks are designed in a way that, depending on how you tilt the face, they take on different expressions. I think this speaks a lot to Colm's character. He looks the same as he always did but when he turns you see nuance, like his pain or fear. For masked Noh actors, the performance begins in the dressing room when the mask is put on. Colm's adoption of his new philosophy/persona took place in private, with others unaware of the change, if there was one. As in o theater, only the main and supporting actors interact with masks, as in the film, and supporting characters wear themselves more plainly. Like a Noh actor he's sort of fused to his mask, one that looks pretty similar to "real life" but reveals key differences over there...I'm by no means an expert and there are probably a lot of other similarities between Japan and Ireland that the director hints at that I haven't even picked up on. The Great Kanto Earthquake was also in 1923, so maybe McDonagh was thinking of cultural parallels there….Food for thought✨🤗

  8634. The problems with modern height stats in western countries is that it takes into consideration foreigners due to immigration. An example is the US. If I’m not mistaken the current trend says that US height is shrinking. This is not true. Native whites and blacks are on average quite tall. The diet and such contributing to those factors. However, immigration from Latin American countries is quite heavy. Also from other poor areas of the world. Taking that into consideration now you have a shrinking population when it comes to height.

  8647. I found out on my true ancestry that my main true ancestors are the Scordisci, Gauls, Illyrians, Romans, Pannonian Illyrians, and the Franks. Germanic tribes (including Celts) were in that area before continuing to move west. The current population of Serbia may have little to none dna (or haplogroup) connections with these ancient peoples. But then again, they may have some. The way my true ancestry tests your dna is by comparing it to the dna of human remains from graves and tombs of that period.

  8666. There is a huge nod in the Movie to the Lady's of the lake folklore of Ireland and other folklore inferences like the 2 butterfly's in their house at the beginning (butterflies representing passed souls).. Standing in the same spot at the side of the lake, the writing of the music, the strange behaviours of the men and the other mentioned deaths in the village are all familiar aspects of Ladies of the Lake / Banshee folklore.

  8691. The catastrophic draining of lakes Agassiz and Missoula are well understood now, but there may have been many such ice dammed lakes north farther, possibly including Hudson bay. One hypothesis includes the flooding of the Mediterranean basin through the Gibraltar pass, possibly scouring the saddle separating the basin from the Atlantic much, much deeper than it had been when dry. (The deepest parts are about a thousand meters now but could be water carved channels.)

I'm a little confused about the area they are from and if my line is connected to the rebels or if fought for the crown. and that the rebel McGregor's were forced to go into hiding because of the bounty that the crown placed on them. Some clans took them in, until finally one day the bounty was lifted. I believe some may have fled to Ireland. but I'm at a brick wall at this moment. Thank you for your time.

  8945. I saw this film last night and was totally unprepared for it, thought it would be a nice amusing fluffy film - really quite pissed off by the trailers giving that impression. So I was quite dismissive of it, thought it was a bit daft - but your video and the comments here have made me realise how much more there is to it, so thank you. I had already decided it was a sort of fairy story ( with archetypes and idyllic lives with no heavy workload or hunger) and allegorical, but i needed these insights to start to make sense of it.

My interpretation of the serpent stone is this..its a planting schedule in relation to the Suns and the shadow cast on the ground..the ground may have had markers..the graphic depicts seeds sown lower right and cultivation and harvest all in a "time line" towards the upper left. Harvest is indicated by an upright leaf..the serpent represents termination or winter.

  9107. This is a deeply, profoundly spiritual film. Theologically, it is worth considering that, in the order of virtue, the four cardinal virtues are preceded by the three theological virtues; those being Faith, hope and charity (love) which are Divine in origin. The Divine towers over this film from the cinematography (God wrote two books; scripture and nature), the ever present Crucifix, Our Lady's statue and the donkey symbolising Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Despite this 'presence' the locals are blinded to this reality, blinded to life; note the absence of children and infants throughout, sinful behaviour being barren, sterile. Where virtue is absent, the opposite takes it's place, even among His anointed (note the conduct of the priest at confession). We witness gossip, abuse, mutilation, rejection, isolation and profanity. We Irish are well-versed with what the Banshee represents and this informs our childhood. This is an unsettling, masterpiece and one can draw many parallels with what we encounter today in the secular realm. In the order of virtue, Faith comes first, without which there is no hope and no love. Ne timeas +.

Most people think he has light brown eyes. His father has blue eyes with gold flecks and mine are dark amber (more gold than my son). Both our mothers have sea green eyes, his father has bright blue eyes, and my father has mid-brown eyes. And husband's sister has insane hazel eyes, bright green with a strong gold centre. The genetic basis of melanin expression in the eyes is so whackadoodle and cool.
