Hearted Youtube comments on Celtic History Decoded (@celtichistorydecoded) channel.

  1. 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!! 👀 😂

  3. 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.

  10. 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:)

  11. 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.

  12. Just a hint, "Van Gogh" rhymes with "Loch" (in a Scots' accent).

  13. 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. 😊

  14. 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.

  15. Much love to the Vikings from a fellow Briton

  16. 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.

  17. 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
  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  21. Yep, I'm a ranga (redhead). Over 6 foot, red curly hair, pale skin, green eyed Aussie 👍🍻🇦🇺

  22. 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
  23. Mine are grayish blue with the gold/brown specs. My eyes seem to change color and sometimes look greenish.
    96
  24. I am a guy with hazel eyes. Today I wore a yellow hoodie and my eyes looked yellow and green. Lots of compliments.

  25. My R1b ancestors

  26. I remember reading that the number of redheads in Norway in the Viking age was much higher than today as well
    95
  27. 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
  28. 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 ❤

  29. I have some Scandinavian blood, bright green eyes. I believe Vikings had a lot of green eyed people.

  30. 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.

  31. I might be wrong, but I think Eli from Russia is from that region.
    89
  32. 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
  33. 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 🦋

  34. Fascinating! Without knowing much about the country, never would've guessed Finland was so uniquely different from its neighbours. Thank you.
    85
  35. I am Kurdish and we are an Indo European nation

  36. 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.

  40. 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"

  41. 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.

  42. It’s good to hear that the ancient Britons weren’t completely left behind in the genetic markers in England 💯✌️
    74
  43. 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
  44. 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.

  45. 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
  46. 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
  47. 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
  48. 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.

  49. 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.

  50. 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.
