  2. The folklore behind the origin of the border reiver clan Armstrong was saposedly a Dane with strong arms that rescued an unhorsed Scottish King in battle. Then given lands on the border and named Armstrong for his powerful arms.

  3. Green here, but sometimes people say hazelish depending on my mood. I got them from my mothers French (Breton) side.

  4. The simplest explanation was that the Legion was placed in reserve status and its legionaries put on leave for a number of years.

  6. I always suspected Tolkien borrowed from various Norse & celtic mythologies. Although he was certainly a brilliant tale teller he surely must have had outside inspiration. Nevertheless the tales were rich, enjoyable & inspiring. Thank you for that.

  9. 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 😁

  12. Thanks for this very good presentation. I think that some of the Celts may come from BB people.

  14. 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:)

  15. 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. 😊

  16. Don't worry. The Scottish accent is challenging even for people from the United States.

  17. Vikings are nothing in front of Scythians, which is my ancestors

  18. Don't forget about the Crusades. People from the Mideast recognize that they get their blue eyes from Crusader genes from western Europe.

  19. Culture was proncounced like "Kol- Tjor" here. It was awesoe.

  20. I have grey eyes with a thick black ring around the iris. I can see really well in dim light & at night. I struggle with the artificial glare of fluro lights & oncoming car headlights at night.

  21. 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.

  22. @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.

  23. You are visiting my home state. I was raised near the San Carlos Apache reservation but I myself am Jèmez Pueblo with New Mexico roots.

  24. Hello From Kentucky. I recently discovered your YouTube channel and really like your videos. 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. My several times great grandfather came to America by way of Frederick Maryland in which our family made their way to Central Kentucky. Thanks again for all of your great videos.

  26. 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.

  27. Well researched. I have 6% Norse. I suspect this is from my Family on the maternal line from County Mayo. Ireland suffering from a Norweigen invasion. However I live in the last bastion of 😅Danish influence in the UK, The Isle of Axeholme.

  28. Mostly Scandanavian ancestry, brown hair and green eyes. Fascinating video.

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. 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.

  34. How interesting. My wife is Russian and has Many relatives with red/reddish hair. Their family fled during the Bolshevik’s genocide led by Trotsky of the Old Believers. Perhaps this area is we’re many of them were at.

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

  36. 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.

  37. So THAT'S it! THANKS!!!!!!

  38. 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!

  39. 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.

  40. 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.

  41. 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 !

  42. 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.

  43. Thanks interesting informative cheers to you I would love to buy some coffee for you you doing a good service for science and people that is thankful cheers

  44. From what I've read the Picts referred to themselves as 'Pects' meaning 'Ancient Ones' in P-Celtic and were probably decendants of the indigenous hunter-gatherers.

  45. Ive never been 1st viewer, I feel Honored. As for Julius, 2000 years later and Rome is still screwing the world.

  46. The I1 paternal line likely arrived in Western Finland already during the Nordic Bronze Age, suggested by the large amount of proto-germanic loanwords and archaeological sites in Finland.

  47. 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.

  48. 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.

  49. wow that's one heck of an inspiring speech.

  50. 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.
