1:00 i do believe you mean the age of Arminius. Who is this Jesus fellow? Did he also triumph over the Romans and eject them from his homeland?

Poland to this day has a region that was formerly called Royal Prussia within it’s border.

@Svensk7119 the name Germani means pure, they meant that they were the “pure celts” because they were conflating origin and heritage with physical appearance.

@crunkdaconqueror778 I’m fantastic at geography. It’s one of my favorite tricks to understanding history. If you can grasp the geography it makes the political landscape easier to understand.

1:15 well, before Arminius there was Vercingetorix (the true blooded high king of the Arverni) who was only maybe two generations prior to Arminius, so his father likely knew who Vercingetorix was, which is why when Arminius returns home he suddenly does a total about face and becomes a proud Germanic (Cherusci) again. I think his dad had a stern talk with him about all the Romanization he had underwent and told him the tale of Vercingetorix. Arminius is a dividing line between the rival tribes and the United tribes.

10:57 triple crown. Three full legions. Mastery of mind, then body, then spirit. Hail Arminius! Christmas is his holiday. He put their Aquilas up at the tops of the tallest Norwegian Spruce trees in Teutoberg forest. Those are still the trees many communities use as their communal Yule Tree. He also decorated the forest with some… more grizzly trophies… They greatly exaggerate the numbers he had with him, he lead a greatly numerically inferior force of likely less than 1,000 men total, including the Germanic Calvary that had been trained in Rome with him. It wasn’t until after he won that the rest of the tribesmen were flocking to him, he was well on his way to becoming the High King of the tribes United before he was assassinated by jealous corrupt nobles who had been paid off by Rome.

Oh, it’s more than just genetic. Modern philologists strongly believe the runic alphabet is derived from the Alpine languages of the Ostrogothic age. And the Rok Runestone in Östergötland Sweden specifically mentions Theodoric the Great.

@stratosferica42 Rawenna was the Capital of the Ostrogothic kingdom. And I would compare the masonry from the Sardinian Water Well from Santa Cristina with the tomb of Theodoric’s masonry. The tomb is obviously more advance because it’s from over a millennia later, but the precision cut stonework and lack of mortar are striking. The Etruscans and the later Romans were likely ORIGINALLY strongly genetically linked with the Sea People, when the ancient sources reference the Trojan War, they mean the Sea People event.

@Caponedaghost Roman republic didn’t have kings, but the Emperors of the Imperial period… could you give me some names for these black emperors? There are two who were born in the present day Middle East. Phillip the Arab and Nikephoros I. I literally just looked up the list of emperors because I was like “did I miss an emperor somewhere?” And they all have either busts still extant or their image in either art or their profile on coins. So if you can give me names I’ll look into them for sure, but if you can’t I’m going to have to call shenanigans on the black Roman emperors.

@denniscannon769 dude is that really true? I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was, because the US is about the most ignorant and belligerent “nation” since the Roman Universal Imperial Cult’s Inquisition.

@Heggegard Not quite. Shared common origin in the Pontic Steppe; the Scythians. The term Aryan is actually in reference to the ancestral homeland of the Alani in the Pontic Steppe; Airyanem Vaejo- The Aryan Expanse.

@phornthip1991 Arminius is my guy! I call him Germanic Jesus all the time. Except, you know, he succeeded in getting the Romans the fudge out.

@EdgarKohl you need to look into the Scythians and Sintashta of the Pontic steppe and how the modern languages and genetics and cultures of modern Europeans (and elsewhere, all the Aryans) were spread by them. The type site of the Sintashta has a nickname and it’s swastika city. Dated to 2,200-1,700 bc. Then look up the history of the swastika in Scandinavia. The fjord horse has strong genetic affinity with the Mongolian steppe horse, the people of the steppe changed, but the horses that were from there (who the Sintashta domesticated and which are the ancestors of all modern domesticated horses) stayed the same. Then read primary sources (mostly Greek) about the Scythians and you’ll recognize the endless similarities. Because they and the Andronovo are the ancestral groups to all modern Aryans.

@tancreddehauteville764 yeah, I’m chestnut 🌰 haired with a lot of copper in my beard. Bright green eyes though. I’m 75% Germanic with the rest being from earlier periods and following the migration of the Sintashta-Scythians westward back to their ancestral homeland of the Corded Ware Culture’s lands. But I’m 6’5” and the shortest man in my family.

@ryankellypa Asia. Not exactly. The blonde hair was there when the Sintashta arrived in the Pontic Steppe from further west, the Corded ware already had many blondes. The blue eyes from Spain thing is based on the Cro Magnon genetics which is the genetic coding trait that all modern people with blue eyes share, but that’s because of a shared common ancestor, there were already different blue eyed genes floating around that over time gradually were replaced by the gene found in the Spanish cro magnon.

@box4087 this is pretty close. The Andronovo are ancestral to both Slavs and other aryans in western and Northern Europe. They’re considered one of the primary Aryan ancestral groups along with the Sintashta.

@gigmcsweeney8566 thank you! Finally. Someone else finally knows. Gosh this is crazy that I have to explain this to everyone. Sintashta-Scythians (I consider these groups synonymous) are the original Aryans, along with the Andronovo.
