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

  1. 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:)

  2. I'm 75 now, and most of my red hair is gone, but I have enough red strands that my hair isn't grey or white, but more like a strawberry blonde. Love it.

  3. My grandfather was born in the Highlands and Sheppard was his surname. I married a Crawford and wondered about these two clans

  4. 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.

  5. i read in a history magazine that the ramson gold had been found somewhere in the heart of Gaul

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. I was born with blond hair then it went red and now it is red and a light brown

  11. 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

  12. Glædelig Jul (merry Christmas) from Jutland.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Thank you for the lesson. A bold and fascinating people. I would love to know more about them.

  16. 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!!!

  17. 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

  22. 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😄🤣

  23. 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.

  29. The book " genome" described the irish as World champion digesters of cows-milk. Its all about environment. I bet the Italians are better than average at gluten ?

  31. Excellent analogy of the film. I saw the film today and really enjoyed it. The elderly lady was definitely very creepy and was almost like a ghost appearing at different times throughout the film.

  39. Dark blonde hair and hazel eyes. DNA says 51% Europe (Irish, Scottish & Welsh). 39.2% north and west European, 7.8% Ashkenazi Jew and 2% Baltic.

  41. 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!

  42. As always, thank you for the lesson. A fascinating culture and so widely spread.

  43. 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?

  45. 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.

  46. I descend from Sommerled

  49. I have blue and green eyes . Mixed polish and german . I recently read an article saying that if you wear sunglasses you are more likely to get sunburned so I don’t when its sunny . I notice on cloudy days the white shade irratates my eyes more than on clear sky days.
