Youtube comments of Ponto (@Ponto-zv9vf).

  1. It is just an Anglo perspective from a Puritan society with heaps of hangups.
    12
  2. Yes and no. Palestinians have absorbed a lot of Arabian ancestry along with Islam, and they have a lot of ancestry from further north and east like Anatolia and Iran.
    12
  3. He was pandering to the group he wants to attract.
    11
  4. Cats were a cheap way of making a mummified offering, you didn't have to hunt for them like Baboons or Crocodiles.
    10
  5. Yeah. Who in their right mind would want to be a Jew considering all the hate?
    9
  6. It is from the political and religious viewpoint of Jews. It ain't necessary so, as the song says. For Europeans, Jews are Ashkenazi and Sephardi, not those from Guyana, Iran, India, Ethiopia. I doubt the Romans made Jews leave whatever you call that place in the Levant. Similarly no one forced Ethiopians to convert, or Jews to move to China. I don't consider non White people to be true Jews just converted ones either way, the original people that lived in the Levant who decided that there is one God without any form are extinct and all the people claiming to be Jews are fakes, adoptees of certain beliefs and customs.

  7. Well being a warrior means fighting and being violent. It is not flower arranging.
    7
  8. I am triggered by it as well. I usually stop viewing Youtube videos when that censorship happens.
    7
  9. The Saami are as indigenous as the Finns to Finland, they came from Siberia.
    6
  10. Enricher? I am Australian but born in Malta, and I tell you there were quite a lot of names for immigrants especially Italians, but none was enricher.
    6
  11. I don't think it's Lombards. People forget that after a few generations foreign ancestry is completely diluted or disappears. Look what happened to the Aegean Philistines in the Levant, 200 years they were completely Canaanite. Puglia is where the Illyrians settled, maybe it's due to them. By the way, why are blue eyes so important to you? I know lots of pale, blond and blue eyed people who are ugly and stupid.
    6
  12. He's good at mixing things with some validity with BS. He is one snake oil vendor.
    5
  13. Hancock relies on people like you. You have done him proud.
    5
  14. My parents were in their final days recluses. They had managed to alienate everyone. You reap what you sow. I didn't want to go to their funerals, I did go, and I wish I haven't.
    4
  15. Egypt is a transcontinental country and alway has been. How many battles did they fight in the Middle East? Why did they care if the Hittites wanted their territory in the Middle East? Being so African, they didn't give a shit about Nubia except for the gold, or Punt for its spices and woods.
    4
  16. So the Black African man was Persian? I didn't see the film, not my thing, the butchery of history.
    4
  17. I don't know how he worked that one out. Considering that the ancestos of indigenous Australians have been on the continent of Australia for tens of thousands of years, it seems unlikely. I don't like Mr. Rutherford.
    4
  18. It won't last forever, things will change.
    4
  19. Europe's population isn't decreasing, it's changing from being European in race to being South Asian, East Asian and Black Africans. It's replacement as Europeans are not reproducing to replace themselves, and importing foreigners to do jobs like teaching, nursing, paramedic, security, maintaining the electrical system, the water system.... In 50 to 100 years time native Europeans will be a minority in Europe, but the population of Europe will stay the same or increase.
    4
  20. A person who looks European White can have 15% sub Saharan ancestry. You cannot tell someone's ancestry just by their looks. If you can believe what is written about Sally Hemings and her white slave owner father of her children, her children looked European.
    4
  21. I don't know either personally. This is my view, Joe Rogan is a working class man with little education, but he wants to know things to learn and that makes him open to people like Hancock. Lex Friedman want to start a discourse with the people who create some sort of notoriety or write challenging books or provide alternate answers.
    4
  22. It's kind of strange since European Mediterranean people eat a lot of fish and seafood.
    4
  23. Australian Aborigines and Pacific Islanders call themselves black, and living in Australia some of the Aborigines are as dark as the darkest black Africans, the Sudanese. When I hear Black I think of Australian Aborigines not Americans or Africans or South Indians.
    4
  24. Because then they are no longer secrets.
    4
  25. An epitaph is written on the gravestone of the grave where the person was buried. A cenotaph is a dedication to a deceased person who is buried elsewhere or whose body was lost.
    4
  26. Greece, how boring. The Greeks or the inhabitants of what is now Greece were slightly changed by the Indo-Europeans like most Southern Europeans. They were basically Neolithic farmers with some minor WHG ancestry. They also had Iranian farmer ancestry from the Bronze Age. It was only after the coming of Slavs from Poland and the Ukraine that changed mainland Greeks after the 4th century CE, otherwise Greeks would be like Calabrian Italians.
    4
  27. Well, he is doing that stupid thing of thinking Africa is all sub Saharan, he ignores North Africa, Egypt, NE Africa and the old people of Africa like the KhoiSan. He only thinks of Black Africa like Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Togo, the Congo... He also thinks all Muslims are Arabians, and that people who speak Central Semitic languages are all Arabians. North Africa has had contact with sub Saharan Africa at various times in its history, but they are not Black Africans, and they share similar ancestry to Europeans like Neolithic farmers, European HGs and Steppe ancestry and thanks to Islam sub Saharan slave ancestry.

  28. You do believe in a lot of bull. Good luck to you, and commiserations to your spouse.
    3
  29. It is nothing new for Italy. During the Imperial Roman times a large part of the population of the Appenine peninsula were Greek speaking immigrants from Anatolia and the Levant. The ethnic character of mainland Italy was changed, but it did slightly recover after the Imperial period. Central and Northern Europe are not fairing much better.
    3
  30. It doesn't matter. Christianity, or its modern perversions, is here, and quite popular. Something must of happened in the past to get it to snowball. Obviously it wasn't Jesus. I am sure he would be out there saying Christianity is a mockery of what he said and wanted.
    3
  31. They think what they say is the truth.
    3
  32. Well, there are no Anglo Saxons still around, but if they still were, then yes it's okay to be Anglo Saxon. What we should do is reverse the Old English thing and call it Anglo Saxon again.
    3
  33. It doesn't have to face the constellation of Leo. You can put up a Lion stature anywhere, or make a golden statue of a bull in the deserts of Sinai.
    3
  34. It sounds good for a pirate. Star Wars is using that accent for the Skeleton Crew pirates.
    3
  35. So why the inner chambers, the sarcophagi. A lot of trouble for nothing.
    3
  36. I would stick with eggs if I were you, not silly stories from a primitive religious work.
    3
  37. Yes Mr Rabbit is quite a Wog.
    3
  38. I guess it is the same about Hannibal who was of Berber and Levantine origin, and even Cleopatra who ruled Egypt, so she had to be a black African.
    3
  39. Well, non fanatic Irani, Iranian Jews are genetically quite close to non Jewish Iranian people given that Iranians vary around Iran.
    3
  40. Well she probably was mixed race, and not Italian just an Italian professor, they have lots of foreign professors in Italy. Same in the UK, even America. Just because she is located in Italy doesn't mean she's Italian.
    3
  41. Well, we just have what others had to say about Roman religion, and its importance. What if it is all hooey. Religion was just some tradition one did in Rome, like crossing the Ts and dotting the Is. Most people are Christians because they were trained to be Christians, there is no thought it in, just rote learning.
    3
  42. As long as he didn't say Pompi.
    3
  43. 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 ....
    3
  44. So, start a stud farm.
    3
  45. In Australia Black means Australian Aborigine and Torres Strait Islanders. However in most of the world it means West African Blacks from Nigeria and Ghana.
    3
  46. Having blond hair and blue eyes doesn't make anyone look German, it just makes them look like blond blue eyed Italians. Your grandmother could have looked North African, I doubt it, she just looked foreign in your country.
    3
  47. I do like those old cars with their running boards.
    3
  48. Use the subtitles that comes with most Youtube videos. You shouldn't be so bigoted to other native speakers of English i.e Scots English. I often have hard time understanding American English due to their poor diction and usage of obscure slang.
    3
  49. It is up to them. Look at some famous artists, they have their phases. They change and evolve. So the Egyptians decorated, added hieroglyphics and then didn't. I sometimes go for a walk soon after I wake, and other times in the afternoon, sometimes I will have a favorite food, then it changes to another.
    3
  50. How do you know? How old are you?
    3
  51. So is money. She should give me all her money, it is a social construct after all.
    2
  52. I think his description of that chamber being claustrophobic and clambering on hands and knees, is jus to frighten us from going there and seeing for yourselves.
    2
  53. Look, I have seen a lot of dna results of North Africans and Egyptians. They do have sub Saharan ancestry, in Mozabites it's about 25%. It matters not to me, but you can expect racists to make a big deal about it. European Americans who are from the South also have sub Saharan ancestry in low percentages. Whenever people of different origins are close to each other, they will mix.
    2
  54. I think it's about the terrain of Greece being rocky, hilly with limited arable land. The sea is quite bountiful.
    2
  55. There were Punics in Sardinia. The remains of these Punics have a lot of North African ancestry, but mixed with European ancestry. They weren't particularly Middle Eastern.
    2
  56. The Vikings were Northern Europeans, they cannot be distinguished from other Northerne Europeans in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. I was told I was 12% Viking of the Scandinavian type for free. I thought it was BS, but then I couldn't of cared either way.
    2
  57. Hemochromatosis is something that comes from the Steppe herder ancestry which unfortunately got passed on almost exclusively to the Celts of Britain and Ireland.
    2
  58. I say modern Italians even Northern Italians and Swiss Italians are shifted to the east. It doesn't affect what the modern Italians look like, but it is there in the dna.
    2
  59. No, eventually thinking people will move to places where rational thinking prevails.
    2
  60. He is plausible, and knows how to win an audience. He is also entitled to believe in fairies at the bottom of his garden, the ones with wings.
    2
  61. It is capitalism, making money by any means is the rule. Truth, morality and ethics goes into the trash can. I am not knocking capitalism as it is the way the world progresses materially and provides a good life for many.
    2
  62. The Egyptians probably had levers and pulleys.
    2
  63. 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
  64. The Jews are not the Chosen, that is a lot of Biblical rot. All humans die and decompose or are cremated, not one is the Chosen.
    2
  65. Happens in sleeping bags too, the freezing of moisture.
    2
  66. They are not elites, just people with a good education and opportunities to pursue their training. Yes, being fired, being banned from employment in your field and being lambasted does make many afraid.
    2
  67. What about the parents of the boy?
    2
  68. You know why they chose that Deinonychus? Because it was macho, not like the real Velociraptor.
    2
  69.  @NotanEmpire  A learned gentleman, what an archaic phrase. It's the 21st century, and there are no gentlemen or ladies anymore. Caput.
    2
  70. Well, you shouldn't smoke cigarettes and throw the butt away onto the pavement. You should consider where you dump things including your dna.
    2
  71. What about the natural phenomenon of the rainbow? They totally ruined that.
    2
  72. There are so many statues, mummy casings, paintings.... let them look it up themselves.
    2
  73. Ha. I have never heard a Scots accent like that before. Maybe I am too used to my brother in law from Edinburgh. It's not irritating, you have to get used to it.
    2
  74. The gee I am so tiny feeling. Yes, there is ego as well, and hubris.
    2
  75. Ethiopians are a stabilized ethnic group, I mean the common type of Ethiopians, Amhara etc. Being stabilized they can be assessed just as Ethiopian or NE African.
    2
  76. What? Galicia in Spain has the highest North African ancestry in Spain. I am incredulous of your claim.
    2
  77. Yes, but why use enslaved when the person is a slave. Doesn't make sense.
    2
  78. A hard a?
    2
  79. I grew up in Australia when we used to use Fahrenheit scale, but I had no idea what 50 deg Fahrenheit meant. I would be quite fine just wearing a tee-shirt in snow at 50 deg Fahrenheit, it isn't snowing or slushy, but quite dry and a low wind day.
    2
  80. No, a fisher of men.
    2
  81. Your are right. European culture is different to that of North Africa, Egypt, the Levant, Turkey and Iran. You don't have to wander far even in Istanbul to see how foreign Turkey is to Europeans. Islam tends to produce rigid, dogmatic thinking and is backward looking. Europe is not like that except in the Middle Ages. Also people forget that most of Europe has been trodden upon by all sorts of people like Huns, Avars, Mongols, Romani and Jews and that Sicily had its indigenous tribes before the Punic and the old Greeks like the Elymians, Sicani and Sicels. An interesting question is how Arabian are the so called Arabs like the Sudanese, the Egyptians.., how Germanic are the Germans, how Slavic are the Russians and Poles. Question Italian ancestry will only lead to questions about the ancestry of other Europeans.
    2
  82.  @philandrews2860  Well its been in Western Europe a long time, from the Bronze Age. It's a Western Steppe Herder haplogroup. R1b exists in Africa as well, among sub Saharan Africans that live around Lake Chad.
    2
  83. He was a nice man, not offensive, but he was the epitome of a White man, his skin color, hair and eye color. He had to tread a fine line.
    2
  84. I see an old, weak man not any type of Jesus.
    2
  85. Not really. When the Neolithic people who depended on Wheat and Barley in bread, their teeth were rather bad. It's carbohydrates not just sugar. Also flour was made by grinding grains with stone mills. That is not to mean he had really bad teeth as shown by that bigot.
    2
  86. Well those WHGs weren't white like modern Europeans but darker. However not that black shoe polish dark.
    2
  87. I doubt many Sephardi still speak or understand Ladino today.
    2
  88. Biggus Dickus?
    2
  89. I would, for a few seconds and after a sauna.
    2
  90. I don't think he looked like that. I mean his skin color is overdone, Cheddar Man lacked the two SNP results that most Europeans have today that give Europeans lighter skin, but there are other SNPs that affect pigmentation to a lesser extent but they are present in Cheddar Man. So, I would say Cheddar Man was darker than Europeans today, but more like the color of an average South Asian, a light brown color. His eyes could have been blue, but again there are other SNPs than the ones they chose solely that affect eye color. Cheddar Man could have had green, hazel even brown eyes depending on the results of those other SNPs. I consider those people rather naive and rather immature to just run with the results of a few SNPs to come up with their blackfaced model.
    2
  91. It was a plateau.
    2
  92. All people are common, it's just a few that get the fickle finger of fate that makes them artificially ennobled. Realistically what does King Charlie have to do with Alfred the great or King Canute. I'll tell you, nothing.
    2
  93. Yes, but it still is a guess.
    2
  94. If a person said that to me, about Mr Severus, I would just walk away and never converse with them again.
    2
  95. Yes it is hard as most media users are Americans who have hangups about race to the point of ignoring all physical and mental differences until it uses them. You should know that North Africans are considered to be invaders and colonialists because they are not dark enough, and don't have West African features.
    2
  96. It could be that flowing robes might hamper their sporting ability.
    2
  97. Palaeontology depends on finding fossils, and plant remains, so finding newer, older fossils and plant remains can change the field. You have to change. Archaeology depends on what is found and dated accurately, but assumptions happen. When ancient dna results of humans became possible it overturned many assumptions, and bigotry, but there was still a fight. The man who discovered the the remains of Lucy, kept those remains under lock and key and would not allow anyone to study her. There are asshats in Science.
    2
  98. Well, White people are Farangs in Thailand, actually a lot of Asia. It comes from the Franks believe it or not, from the Crusades in the Levant all that long ago. Farang is not exactly a nice word. In the UK the big cities are the places that are the least indigenous, lots of immigrants, lots of non European people, but the countryside is different. There was a woman, I guess American, that complained that there weren't enough Black people in Greece, like every place in the world have to have lots of Black Africans.
    2
  99. Being born in a place does not make your of that place. Jawhar was some sort of North African born in Sicily.
    2
  100.  @szymonbaranowski8184  How sad, about your fingers. In a cold winters morning like I used to experience as a child in Australia, those days don't happen any more, neither do the think fogs, I would get vasodilation in my hands.
    2
  101. It is something that most people don't know, that the name Africa comes from the North of Africa, probably a local North African name. It eventually got extended to the whole continent. Similar to the word Asia became applied to all East Eurasia. So it is ironic that the people who lived in Africa were Berbers who certain people consider not to be African but of immigrant origin because they are not chocolate brown skinned.
    2
  102. What about Shakespeare? It also reminds me of an old film with Kirk Douglas, a Jew, playing a Viking, and Sidney Poitier, a black American, playing a Moor. The image of Moors being black Africans, muslims, dressed in Arabian attire is very strong.
    2
  103. I think he means that the Mediterranean Sea loses more via evaporation than it gains from rivers, the Black Sea and rainfall. It is the Atlantic Sea that keeps the Mediterranean sea from disappearing and leaving nothing but salt behind.
    2
  104. I turned the sound off, you don't miss much.
    2
  105. He has Youtube channels, it is not a game or sport. I never heard of Wired, so he enlightened me.
    2
  106. Yes, it's a depressing picture. Ever since the post WW2 period, at least in Australia, the traditional family is gone, Dad working in his job for 40years, Mum at home looking after the children and aged relatives, helping others in the community. It's all gone. You have to spend years at school, higher education just to be able to get a shitty job. You're in your late 20s before you can think of marrying and maybe affording a deposit on a house and a bank mortgage. It goes on and on. Children are staying at home because they can't leave home, often have trouble getting work. I am not saying that before the WW2 changes things were utopian, but people managed on one income that supported a family, and paid the mortgage.
    2
  107. Friend, most people don't know what a Numidian happens to be. Or have heard of Emperor Macrinus. I have to tell you, Americans rule the world, and Black Americans are very vocal about things they believe, they think they are experts on Africa, about Africa and Africans. You, a native Algerian are fighting a battle you cannot win.
    2
  108. Southern Italy had the Normans and the Lombards. So what's the difference? Northern Italians are not really that pale, they are still darker than Central and Northern Italians and have dark hair, brown or hazel eyes. Their skin isn't that pale. Yes, a few are pale, they still look Italian. One albino Gorilla doesn't mean the rest are not black.
    2
  109. Sometimes it's the result of an unlikely mutation. Most people have about 100 differences to their parents, spot mutations. Also older parents produce defective dna particularly older men in their sperm.
    2
  110. English historians on Roman history pronounce Pompei as Pompy. I don't like it. What is hard about saying Pompei. Mary Beard says Pompy, now Mary Beard is a funny name.
    2
  111. Come on! Everyone would look.
    2
  112. We all have biases, but some are not really aware of them.
    2
  113. Yes of course. It is like a man owning a Lamberghini, it is an artifical phallus. Look how great I am. Just pure ego.
    2
  114. Not really. A small country with a small population with technology, armaments, disease transmission can conquer the world.
    2
  115. There are statues of Septimus Severus, and the painting of his family. So we have a good idea. There are representations of Cleopatra and Hannibal and other Carthagenians. It doesn't matter to prejudiced people as Africa means Black people to them. Augustine was from North Africa as well, so I guess he goes into the Black category to them.
    2
  116. There were pre Dynastic Egyptians.
    2
  117. Why not make Rum out of it, otherwise it is just a high nutrient pollutant.
    2
  118. Sappho is known because she was from Lesbos and considered homosexual, not for her poetry. How many people in Europe and America can read her poetry as written in her form of Greek?
    2
  119. Communism is a form of Socialism, a corruption if you like, abolishing of private property wasn't a Socialist thing. The thing is that both the socialist side and the fascist side started off as a number of sects which ended with one predominating with the others being terminated. Historically Socialism was fractured into many sects which hated each other.
    2
  120. I have read that during times of famine the Egyptians ate their children. It wasn't all good times in old Egypt.
    2
  121. Are you Indian? They use that Wheat skinned stuff too. White is sort of yellow, so you are saying you are yellow. Olive skin is not exactly yellow.
    2
  122. Haplogroup J is Paleolithic in age and is found in Caucasus Hunter Gatherers and some Eastern Hunter Gatherers who were present in Europe before the Bronze Age. Considering haplogroup R originated outside Europe, and only became common after the Bronze Age due to the I.E speaking Steppe immigrants, I don't understand why single out haplogroup J as R is just as alien to Europe. R is common in the New World and Oceania, and it doesn't make it native to either places.
    2
  123. I am interested in ancient Rome, but only to a certain level. As to Christianity, the early groupings of Christians, I suppose you could call then a church, what the Romans thought about Christians, it doesn't interest me at all. I just like hearing opinions which is what they are, you could call them facts, it is food for thought, ultimately not important. As far as the Egyptians, the old brown ones, they could have functioned without a Pharaoh or declaring himself, herself as a God. Same with Rome. The Romans had Kings once, they got rid of him, had a republic without some man wanting to be a God, and Octavian could have done all the things he did without declaring Julius Caesar or himself a God. I have to say whoever put those words into Jesus' mouth in the New Testament did a good job, good PR work.
    2
  124. People do make mistakes about the importance of haplogroups, however it is not a good enough reason to denigrate dna testing and trying to work out where in the world you and your cancestors lived at least in the last 200 years. Racism has nothing to do with race, it is a bigotry solely based on pigmentation. Pigmentation and race are often mistaken by bigots to be the same, hence the need of some to debunk race as nothing more than a concept. Money is a concept, I don't see anyone giving me their rubbish money afterall its a concept. Races are more than pigmentation, it's a bunch of things which can be ascertained from your dna. You are going on about ethnic identity is a concept, well ethnic identity cannot be seen in your dna, but your race can. The Dasyu weren't just dark skinned, they had certain features like a thick, short, pudgy nose, it's more than just dark skin. Whether you say Indo-European was just linguistic, and not racial. That is wrong, from their dna you can see exactly what their pigmentation was like, and their skeletons their skull shape, nose shape... You know your skeleton will show you are a common garden variety European type, unless you go for cremation. I find you biased. Why? I can only speculate, maybe it is your background in Arty Farty studies, the humanities.
    2
  125. Yes. That is why my tree stops at my 5th great grandparents. I could go further back but there is no way I could prove real relatedness or just chance because of coming from a certain ethnic group.
    2
  126. Gobekli Tepe is something that appeals to people interested in really old human history especially that has some relevence to Europe. I am interested in ancient dna, and the Anatolian farmers that went to Europe via the Danube river route and the Mediterranean Sea hopping route derived their ancestry mostly from Anatolian HG. Goblekli Tepis is in the Mesolithic era. Hancock wants answers to things that suit him, he doesn't accept answers that have been offered. He wants Atlantis to exist because he doesn't believe certain civilizations as in Egypt was done solely by the people living in the Nile Valley. See how he is saying about the ancient humans the date keeps changing older and older, and uses that to query everything about all civilization. So he asks unanswerable questions and offers his ideas as answers. There are major missing pieces he says, he mentions the Younger Dryas like it is a freak event. The Earth wobbles on its axis, it's tilt to the ecliptic changes. Why, I don't know.
    2
  127.  @ashlyirvyn2917  What you have written is not factual. I suggest you study linguistics before making half ass comments on languages.
    2
  128. Well, they should have kept their legs together.
    2
  129. Tea was the colloquial way of saying dinner in Australia when I was a child, I doubt it is now. If I said that to an immigrant to Australia from the Philippines or South Sudan or Canada even if they have lived in Australia for a long time, they wouldn't understand. But when I was a child, Australia was overwhelmingly British mostly English origin. A cuppa is the way of saying having a cup of tea. In a way Australians today use less slang, and people think very Australian like Paul Hogan or the late Steve Irwin are anachronisms.
    2
  130. One way to get rid of the dead.
    2
  131. The Mediterranean look is a catchall. The reality is that Europeans, Near Easterners and North Africans are different in looks. Europeans from Britain and Germany that wanted to go into Arabia, visit Mecca, Medina, old sites in the Near East in the old days just dressed and acted like Arabs, spoke Arabic and had no problems. West Eurasians tend to look like each other just not identically.
    2
  132. Yes, and Europeans have Neanderthal ancestry as well.
    2
  133. It doesn't matter because we are dealing with prejudice, and irrational thinking. To those people, Africa means sub Saharan Africans, it doesn't matter if it is North Africa or Egypt or even NE Africa which have different origins, different hunter gatherer ancestors to West Africans who are the typical Black person to them. The more older Pygmies and KhoiSan Africans are totally ignored, as is the homogenizing effects of the Bantu speaking farmers from the Cameroons that moved to the east and south of Africa.

  134. He has to have such a common accent, and that head wear. I usually turn off when I see modern folk trying to to make a statement with their clothing. The point is the usage of Africa from the Berber tribe encountered by Europeans to just refer to a continent wholly occupied by sub Saharan Africans. North Africa was always connected with Asia from the ancient pre historic times, and even the languages extinct and modern spoken in the North of Africa called Afro-Asiatic languages did not originate in Black Africans. Had they originated with Black Africans they would be all over Africa from the south to the north, east to the west, instead that most of the languages are Bantu languages. Regarding the meaning of Moor it is just by association with Africa being black African, also it was a way to distance Muslims in Europe from European as nasty foreigners. The Irish Celts called the Vikings dark foreigners because the Vikings were evil. I think he is being simplistic about meaning of moor just because Shakespeare or others use it or misuse it to mean Black African. It proves nothing except the meaning of words over time. There is dna results of the Muslims in Iberia during the occupation of Iberia by Muslims that came from Morocco. Some of those Moors has North African and European ancestry, some werre totally European, and the pigmentation was in the European range from north to south Europe.

  137. Well it's 2025 not some remains of a some ancient Ephesian Roman domus. I doubt 99% of modern Europeans and Americans would have heard of Sappho, but lesbian they would know.

  140. Well it is believed Constantine did the Christian thing as an expediency. He wasn't a true believer. A more important point. Are we, humans, better off ethically, morally, judiciously because of Christianity and its world wide prominence?

  142. It is more probably the kiss thing was due to the writer not knowing what Jesus looked like, so not description just an action, a kiss. Can you imagine, Jesus is the one with crossed eyes and a pock marked face.

  143. The problem is that it changes with the wind. And the French Revolution is a guide, even Robespierre got the chop.
    2
  144. I think that old professor of linguistics probably speaks only French, he may feel threatened being in France and people speaking another language. Fear, not logic is his answer. He mentioned bilingualism as if you can only speak two languages, one French the main language, and another a lesser language spoken occasionally and less well.
    2
  145. Interesting he dodged the race question which is what the question about appearance was all about. Those old Egyptians liked to remove a lot of their body hair, I guess that climate isn't good for hairy people and hygiene. My question: What wonderful and useful things did the Egyptians create? Pyramids and desiccated corpses not included, since they are a waste of time, money and weird.
    2
  146. I didn't understand that bit. It is said that the Egyptians diverted waters from the nile towards the area where the pyramids were to be built because it was easier to transport the stones to the site. The Nile was what made Egypt without it all of Egypt would be a red desert, the river deposited silts and turned the land beside the river, black and fertile.

  147. Now, some living person has to interpret the past, and that person isn't going to be able to get into the brains and psyche of the long dead Joes. Of course he is going to do what he does. Even if some Mr Yahudi back in the days of Jesus, described and wrote about Jesus, it would be his interpretation not Jesus'

  153.  @bouchacourtthierry8506  There's a lot of variation in France in phenotype, any European would look at home in France.
    2
  154. You can call yourself West Eurasian which is what Europeans and Middle Easterners are. But better still you could self identify as you want. Personally I don't use any of those labels and I dislike the term White or Black as they are exaggerations of actual pigmentation.
    2
  155. And gay, straight and whatever can too.
    2
  156. You have made an accusation. How about saying who they are? I have never heard that myself. There is nothing about Hancock that is supreme, and what his race is is irrelevant. But don't hide like a coward, come out and say who those people are. So far I am not impressed by his followers.
    2
  157. Well, humans are animals.
    2
  158. I am not Italian, and I am slightly annoyed. Mr. Rabbit is some work. The woman is a mixed American and has indications in her phenotype that show this mixed ancestry, one thing it isn't Italian, and its due to American slavery and the history of free people of color in the USA.

  166. Too bad Mr Rabbit cannot speak decent English. From an old British viewpoint, I am not British by the way, the saying is Wogs start east of Calais. If you don't know what a Wog is, well, learn. Honestly as far as Italy is concerned, all Italians are Dagos, north, south, east and west. Even the French Corsicans are Dagoes. This nonsense about the Mezzogiorno being African or Arab does not matter, all Italians can be considered Africans and Arabs, this Northern Italian thing about being more European is fiction. Language is language, it means nothing. Italians are as a group rather ugly and unattractive, Northern Italians included. Mr Rabbit looks very foreign and can pass as Arabian, Iranian, Armenian and even Egyptian. I have been all over Italy, and I find no difference in looks, what varies is the way they use standard Italian. Naples Italian is hardly intelligible, but you can say that in any part of Italy, they have their local languages. Veneto is a mixed region, they have a lot of South Slav ancestry. That's the point, you cannot prove being Italian by your dna as each region has its own admixture with neighboring regions, and foreign immigrants. Genetically Southern Italians don't have a lot of alien ancestry, most of their ancestry is from Neolithic farmers who are one of the three founding populations of all Europeans. Swedes are more than 40% Neolithic ancestry, Southern Italians are more like 60% Neolithic ancestry. All Italians have Steppe ancestry, it's in the 20 to 30% rate, it's one of the founders of European ancestry. Mr. Rabbit is exaggerating the effects of the Normans who were mongrels not Scandinavian but a mixture of French people. The majority of Italians have dark hair, and brown eyes, north and south, and an olive skin tone. Even Swiss Italians are dark. There is too much exaggeration about pigmentation, about alien ancestry, about the differences between north and south in Italians. You can say the same about Germans, about French people, about Poles, Italy is no different except in some people's prejudiced minds.

  169. The question is why an Italian would intermarry with African Americans. Doesn't make any sense to me unless Italians would jump into bed with anyone with the right genitalia.
    1
  170. Well, people change, they interbred with others. Palestinians are not exactly the same genetically before or after islam, and very different from the Canaanites that lived there in the ancient past.

  171. To do testing, dna testing, requires the artifact or remains to be damaged. With human remains, it would hardly do any damage, a few grams of bone dust, other than the dislike of disturbing remains, but works of art, the damage is more serious.

  180. You are judging. You should look at what evidence he produces. There is no argument that will sway the zealots, Hancock is a zealot. Nothing wrong with being a zealot, personally I would just walk away, and let Hancock talk and talk.

  181. That is just ignorance, and probably low IQ.

  182. Good on you. I don't care about those old ethnic groups. I only care for my ethnic group and the country my people were born for the last 500 to 1000 years, not some pre historic period.

  183. There's loads of them in Australia, they are called Black Angus. I knew cattle breeders that bred those small beasties. Apparently a red colored sport is undesirable like a lot of gingers.

  184. They love the sun as well. I have seen it in the country I was born in, they are in summer what Australians call brown as a berry i.e very brown sun burnt.
    1
  185. Yes, you are right. However genetic diversity comes from a large population or one that is heavily admixed, Italians in Europe have the highest diversity among Europeans. Also, in Africa the Bantu farmer expansion from the Cameroons to just about every part of Africa, barring the North, parts of the NE Africa has homogenized Africa.

  189. It is more that just base pair differenced between humans and chimpanzees, chromosomes have parts that have broken off and reattached from the other end, with humans two chromosomes pairs have joine together giving us 46 chromosomes to the chimp's 48. Human individuals just have spot differences to each other, a base that changes A, T, C and G. The differences are minor. Ancient dna gives deaminated.
    1
  190. Well, you know that Europeans were darker before the Bronze Age, the addition of Indo-European ancestry to hunter gatherer ancestry and neolithic farmer ancestry basically made Europeans lighter especially in the north as they have more Indo-European ancestry about 50%.
    1
  191. How can you disprove Atlantis or God or E.T visitations? You can't. So no logical or rational set of arguments will sway any zealot. I wouldn't dismiss Archaeologists the way you did. What has this Hancock done to further knowledge? In the Australian vernacular, Fuck all. It means absolutely nothing.
    1
  192. It also behooves Black Africans to acknowledge the wrongs done to Black Africans such as slavery, and genocide. In Burundi and Rwanda it was not the French that carried out the mass slaughtering of Tutsi by Hutu, or Hutu by Tutsi. Idi Amin did not like a certain tribe in his country because of their nudity and paganism, and took nasty measures against them. Without Black African enslavement of other Black Africans, the Muslim Arabs and the Christian Europeans wouldn't have got Black African slaves for their colonies. I was born in Malta, and Malta was under Islamic Colonialism for centuries, the Maltese language is some nasty Arabic dialect, and the Muslim Colonialists came from Tunisia in Africa.

  196. The H in Graham is not pronounced. Everyone I have met don't like outsiders entering their territory, it's as natural as breathing. Archaeologists are just like everyone else in that regard. A saying when I was a child when studying science by a Scientist was: Engineers are the idiots of the sciences. In Jurassic Park it was said, God help us, we're in the hands of Engineers. Just because Mr. Hancock is an expert at poo pooing the criticism of himself by others, doesn't make him plausible or give his make his ideas sensible. His arguments are apologist.
    1
  197. DEI can like most ideas be taken too far. I don't believe that people should be censured because they are bigots, misogynists, manhaters, you did not add that, racists, agists... whatever name you want. It is better to have it out in the open, than force it underground.

  209. It is old Greek, pre Slavic, more like the people of Crete and some of the Greek islands. Greek mainlanders are like their Balkan neighbors. And in Sicily there were native peoples, the Sicels, the Elymians and the Sicani.

  213. That beard does not suit him. I consider him a good popular historian, it's his bread and butter. Gladiators from York definitely were killed since they were beheaded. I saw Dr Elliott in some exhibition, he's rather tall, odd body shape, a bulbous belly, skinny legs. He reminded me of a frog with outstretched legs.

  214. She was talking about Marx/Engels idea of Communism, you have to read the Communist Manifesto, a boring read. Communism was viewed as an ideal to go for, otherwise it was just a form of Socialism. Socialism has many forms, most governments control their monetary system, the education system, provides subsidies to industrialists and agriculturists and so on. I understand her on what she says on Communism, but to us who are into Democracy and a certain amount of individual freedom, it was not Socialism in the USSR, it was Communism. She really is a mouthpiece for the old USSR, Communism and the various dictators of the USSR. She is bigoted, maybe because of her ethnic origin, and the statue of Lenin. Personally she can believe what she wants, it's her religion after all.
    1
  215. Who cares about the Greeks, who weren't the modern Greeks of today, thought about North Africans? To them everyone was a barbarian because they didn't speak Greek and sounded like sheep, ba ba. I don't believe everything people accept as the inhabitants of certain regions. And what did they look like anyway? I don't accept your imaginative ancestry of Mauretanians, sounds like Afrocentric clap trap coming from some stupid American. You should know, the coming of Islam to North Africa is the reason for the presence of Black Africans in the North. They were slave, hewers of wood and drawers of water. Slavery is synonymous with Islam and always was from its beginnings in Arabia. You don't know Africa's story, you just believe a lot of crap, nonsense that came out of American slavery of Black Africans. Why not sing your own songs and leave Africa to its natives and not appropriate what doesn't belong to you as an alien.
    1
  216. You are a bit hard on those people who extract dna from ancient bones and teeth. I doubt they believe in a static pure group of people without genetic variation or that the ancestry of those ancient groups came from one group of people without admixture from other groups. Antolian farmers and those over emphasized Eurasian Steppe pastoralists with their horse fetish don't exist anymore. Europeans with a lot of Western Hunter Gatherer ancestry like Latvians have that WHG ancestry in tiny segments scattered around their genome and not in big chunks like you and I would have of our parents' genetic contribution.

  217. Imagine if all men around the world stopped working for a week at the same time. Do you think the world would grind to a stop? In the Western world heterosexual people are postponing marriage to their 30s, and as a result having less children, requiring the need for foreign workers to staff services and industries. Now has that been a good solution to natural increase and producing no problems?

  220. I don't want to sound as a right wing ratbag and I am someone who was not born in the country that I identify with, but speaking about Australia, the culture was ruined by indiscrimate immigration to the point that being Australian is nothing. I think that is the same in the UK, and in most of the Western side of Europe. Unfortunately the damage is done, and you'll have to live with it.
    1
  221. Well, isn't there prejudice in every country about different regions, and accents. Take England, the West country accent makes one laugh, the Northern accents make them sound like idiots and Cockney, it's disgusting.

  225. It's the common belief repeated often and it then becomes fixed and as being true. You can say the same about the IQ of sub Saharan Africans, or their appearance being less attractive than that of Europeans. Ashkenazi Jews are quite intelligent? Well, I have met many and they seem as stupid as any other people. The Irish are nothing but drunkards who want to engage in fist fights. Is that true? Your Sicilian friend is brainwashed, and probably rather stupid.

  227. 12% Nigerian, I guess Yoruba, is way to high for any European. Most Southern Europeans, and many Central and Northern Europeans on MyHeritage get Nigerian, 1 to 2%. It's BS of course.
    1
  228. My guess is you tested with MyHeritage. That company is good for genealogy but ancestry it is crap. North African ancestry is very low in Southern Italians and mostly in Calabrians, not Campanians, they didn't make it that far north of Calabria.
    1
  229. The only connections between Italy and Africa are colonial and imperial as in Imperial Rome or Fascist Italy under il Duce. Genetically not much at all. Dna analysis of Punic settlements in Sardinia, Spain and North Africa showed that those Punics had a cosmopolitan population containing black Africans, Levantines, Europeans from all over Europe and even some Indians.

  230. It is modern Hebrew and modern pronunciation. Phoenician and old Hebrew were mutually understandable more or less. I doubt an old person from the past come to life would understand Modern Hebrew just like Muhammad himself would not understand Egyptian Arabic.

  231. Our land? She is the descendant of people who didn't live in Britain when the Romans went there, so the Romans came, stayed for hundreds of years and left when that woman's ancestors were somewhere between modern France and modern Germany. It's a pity that the land cannot be stopped from slipping into the sea. Admiral, a word that comes from Arabic. Is that how Boulogne is pronounced in English.

  232. Not the Irish. It is not just the USA, it is an undercurrent in most Anglophone countries about anyone who isn't or cannot pass as NW European looking. It is just about pigmentation, dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin.

I just thought Mr. Martin was borrowed from existing history and literature. Let's face it, everything is derivative of what went on before. The sleep pattern thing was very interesting as I so dislike the rat race sleep pattern. You would freak out with the Huntsmen spider or the Golden orb spider.

  237. Blackbeard was a woman? It's from the West Country, arr, scrumpy. The man is married, his poor wife. He pronounces cooks like Kooks. Privateer has a patent to raid, obtain gold, slaves, and scuttle ships. I could live without a picture of Mr. Barrie. It is wonderful that there is an expert on pirates of all things.

  250. Italians in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Angola, Mozambique? You are thinking of the Portuguese, sport. Wrong dagos or diegos. In Australia the Italians are dying out, they introduced expresso coffee and pasta, not much else. There's Tina Arena, she's as singer, Sicilian ancestry I believe. Can't think of other notable Italians except Rafaelo Carboni who was in the Eureka Stockade, you have to be Australian to understand the significance of the Eureka Stockade.

  256. So why don't you write the texts in accurate English? I see no reason to read dead languages.

  257. That's interesting. I see results in mixed Australian Aborigines and they can vary wildly. I once saw a photograph of a Mestizo couple, one pink skinned, the other quite yellow, they had 6 children, the eldest 2 looked black African, the middle 2 Mestizo, and the last light Europeans.

  264. I think Mr Powell looked quite like what he was, a light skinned Negro with a big nose. He looked as Italian as a Mule looks like a Horse. I don't understand why you foreigners think various mixed bloods look Italian because they are not dark skinned, don't have nappy hair or flat noses but are obviously mixed race.

  266. I don't accept the child sacrifice thing either, I believe it is a misunderstanding. Stillborns, aborted fetuses, and young children that died would not be buried, but cremated. Where are the remains of children in ancient Rome? The head of the Roman family could reject a newborn child and leave it out in the street, the Romans also cremated corpses. The Pantheon in Rome has Agrippa's name on it but it was built under Hadrian but the name of Agrippa's previous temple was left on it. I don't understand, Olives are not originally African but the trees were planted there. Grapes are not African in origin either. Wine in the ancient world was diluted with water before being drunk. The Carthaginians were occupiers but no colonizers. The Romans colonized, the made the conquered people Romans, they colonized moved retired soldiers around their Empire, they built towns and filled them with Romans. The Phoenicians and the Carthaginians didn't do that. I don't agree that Rome just plagarized, actually borrowed, they reinvented. The Etruscans and Greeks gave Rome a lot of architecture, but the Greeks and Etruscans did not invent the arch or make durable, strong and waterproof concrete.

  269. The man is a working class bloke from England, you heard it in his accent and pronunciation. I am not English or a language bigot. The Romans drained the swamps, so they understand something about Malaria other than bad air. Rome was a population sink. Cannae I pronounce like you do, not him. The Punics used symbols to make their ships like using an Ikea flat pack furniture. So what did Hannibal look like, I have seen coins of rather big nosed men, father or brother. I don't think much of Caesar, put it this way, any intelligent, violent, thug would be a good military leader. I didn't know the Romans rode Arabian horses.

  270. People of color! Isn't that racist by seeing them as a color than as a person. I don't like shorts and similar formats like these TikTok videos. I believe in free speech and if people are racist in their speech or thought, what's it to me. It is what they do that's important. Some people are hopeless, and don't do well in life, and rather than improve they just go to blaming others and saying it is because they are not European. That woman wouldn't know, she's too young, what she knows is hearsay. I am Maltese and slavery ended in Malta in 1798 when Napoleon Bonaparte sailed into the Grand Harbour, and the Knights of Malta surrendered. Bigotry is wrong, racism is bigotry.

  274. There is a bit of a problem with nomenclature. The Steppe Herders spread Indo-European languages and ancestry to Europe via Corded Ware and Bell Beakers. In the Asia region, Steppe Herder is different, it's mostly via Sintashta with ancestry from BMAC and Yaz, giving Indo-Aryan languages and leading to the Iranian, Indian and various others from Turkey to Central Asia. This means that the Steppe ancestry in Europeans and the Asians is not the same.

  288. American English is like a dialect formed by the early Colonialists coming from north of England, and from Scotland, and they learnt of their vocabulary out of books, without knowing the pronunciation. Then they had millions of Europeans immigrate to the US that knew no English. Look at how they pronounce partner as pardner, cordial as corjal, and laboratory as Labratorry.

The house of david, hmm. Look, I don't accept these things unless it is proven to me. There are lots of authors who have or can write works of fiction using bits and pieces from history or what is accepted as history. Why not the writers of the bible do the same? It is sad because people accept the curse of ham, and the sons of noah as reality. I always laugh when I hear Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego.

  298. No need for African as the Moors came from Africa, North Africa. You are wrong sport. Northern Italy and Southern Italy are basically identical looking, cultural differences and linguistic differences exist, but they are the same. So North Africans were in Iberia for quite a while, that's not Italy, and so what anyway. The Romans were in Britain for 300 years and left walls, baths and other structures but genetically they left nothing. The Moors in Iberia built some hideous buildings like the el Hambra and some mosques, but so what. There are the remains of Roman churches and structures all through North Africa, Anatolia, the Levant. It's no big deal.

  309. Being light skinned and having light hair, I doubt you are blond, and green eyes does not make you European or White. It's a phenotype found all around West Eurasia and resulted from the mixing of Neolithic farmers with hunter gatherers, and Steppe herders from the backside of European Russia. You are European, that' it, nothing more.

  311. There's nothing you can do about it. A large part of humanity wants to tear down those with expertise and knowledge because they don't have the expertise and knowledge but can do the tearing down. It is like the Celts going to Rome and destroying it, taking loot and booty. It is good to question things but to say everyone is lying, and they are hiding informations is just a form of paranoia. They will eventually burn themselves out and then spark themselves into action again. It's cyclical.

  313. I consider the differences between Northern and Southern Italians are exaggerated, frankly the look similar to me. As to pigmentation, they are different from the extreme Northwest Europeans who are ruddier, are paler, and the eyes are often blue or green, the hair lighter than the browns of Italy. Most Northern Italians have dark hair, and brown eyes, and are not ruddy. True in the borderlands, people who spoke German or French or Slovenian there may be some the approximate NW Europeans in pigmentation, but even going into the countries surrounding Italy there are many of darker pigmentation. An ancient Roman would stick out today because they would be slimmer, and shorter than modern Italians. I would say the looks of Italians compared to ancient Romans, Etruscans, Samnites, Greeks and Gauls probably are quite similar, but genetically the modern Italians are shifted slightly towards the east. There was a huge number of Greek speaking immigrants to Rome and its empire from Anatolia and Syria, and most of them stayed and interbred with the old Italians. You cannot deny the dna results from the different periods of Italy. The pre Imperial Romans were like modern Central and North Italians, the Imperial Romans shifted towards Anatolia and Syria, post Imperial Italians are like Southern Italians.

  319. Terroni, you know the insult. Just use dago as it applies to all those Italians. In Australia Italians are dagos, spicks, chocos, spags and wogs. 23andMe is better than MyHeritage, and Ancestry is best for Southern Europeans. Actually the alien element in Italians, northerners as well even Swiss Italians, is West Asian, and it came to Europe in the Bronze Age to Iron Age from old Anatolia when it was still Greek speaking and of Greek culture. Southern Italy and Sicily was very old Greek and those old Greeks had Anatolian Greek ancestry of mixed West Asian type.

  320. Tolkien is undermining real history and real science by making wild speculations about what we know like Gobekli Tepe or the Younger Dryas or Megalithic buildings or changes in human achievement to spin doctor his speculations about very old civilizations that existed way before the Sumerians and the Egyptians and those old civilizations taught those Sumerians and Egyptians to achieve what they have achieved.
    1
  321. That isn't a theory because it cannot be shown to be true or proven or not proven. The old Greeks thought giants built gigantic walls made of huge stone blocks because they couldn't imagine how any humans could have quarried those stones, transported and placed those stones into the wall.

  322. Well Italian Jews, and other European Jews are essentially Italian like Southern Italians and Sicilian Italians. It's in your dna, it isn't German or Anglo Saxon or Irish or French, and Sephardi Jews are not Spanish or Portuguese, Italian again.

  328. It is ironic that all those things we have makes us far more vulnerable than a Roman would be living in some town in Italy. We can't live without electricity or living in large cities or motor vehicles or supermarkets. I live in a small town and the first I knew of the Covid epidemic was going to the supermarket and finding it closed, and when open, nothing but empty shelves. In the 70s the oil producers started restricting their output for more money - it caused panics and chaos in the modern world. Think how difficult is was for parents to keep their children at home instead of school during the pandemic.

  335. Look friend, you don't have to have degrees specializing in genetics or statistics like Mr. Patterson or Mr. Krause to be able to use various programs that analyse dna results from various people around the world. Tunisians, Algerians, Moroccans, Libyans and Egyptians are part of the dna cline that goes from the Caucasus region in the north all the way south to North Africa. They are not part of the European clines. The closest group to these Caucasus people, Levantines, Anatolian Turks, Iranians, Arabians and North Africans are the Cypriots. You can pick out those people from North Africa and the east Mediterranean from Europeans as easily as those silver quarters from those of base metals. Let's face it, most of you folks cannot tell West Eurasians apart when they are the color of Mr. Rabbit is compared to Lebanese or Syrians. They look the same to you, but their dna separates them, the sheep (Europeans) from goats (North Africans and Eastern Meds)

  337. The article spelled advice as advise, I am not irritated by spelling mistakes, but I note them. Maybe in American English advice noun and advise verb are the same spelling, but this is a British article. Most University students are over the age of 18, in my country a person that age is an adult. Adults are expected to be mature enough to handle topics they may not like or choose to do another topic. No place in this world is lucky enough to have zero infant mortality. I wonder how the Rape of the Sabine Women is handled in ancient Roman history and mythology. Your attitude about Politicians is cynical, it can work the other way and have negative effects on their reputation. It is the same with the University of Exeter, their stance can have negative effects, lose reputation and academic status. A bigger problem of Tertiary education is the process of dumbing down the standards of the instruction. Not everyone should have access to University.

I recently voted against the incumbent of my electorate in Australia because even though she is a good member of Parliament, she just moans and bitches, and never criticizes herself or her political affiliations.

Prejudice is not logical and is not affected by the efforts of Jablonsky and her kind. There is more to the differences between large groups of humans than just how productive melanocytes are at producing melanin. Look, if a person or a large group of people in South Asia or Africa or the Philippines or even African Americans choose to lighten their skin, it's their business. People have been doing that for years just by keeping out of the sun. Don't judge others because they don't do or think as you do.

It is pointless considering trade networks connected the Roman,the Romanized world with the non Roman world like coriander seeds, olive oil, mass produced but high quality crockery. It is like the plague that spread among Neolithic farming communities that came from the Steppes before the actual mass Indo-Europeans Steppe Herders moved into Europe.

The Romans once vassals to Etruscan kings went off and conquered other towns and regions including the Etruscan territory and Romanize them. The Phoenicians even the Carthaginians did not do that, so they were left on their own when mightier states overthrew them.

  375. The only thing from that study you are talking about is my assertion that the Neolithic transition in Italy, and Greece was different genetically from that in Central and Western Europe. The presence of Caucasian and West Asian ancestry in Italians predates the East Mediterranean hordes that paper is referring to in the Imperial Age. The Minoans and the Mycenaean Greeks had that same ancestry found in Imperial Roman citizens and slaves. By the way I don't think Europeans with high Steppe ancestry are the epitome of Europeanness afterall those Steppe people were invading foreigners from the Eurasian Steppes not native to Western, Central, Northern or Southern Europe.

  382. That is simple. Mitochondria are inherited from our mother, so all our full siblings have the same mitochondria as our mother, and she got it from hers. I wouldn't say the cell engulfed the bacteria that became mitochondria all those years ago, but the bacteria infected the cell. It just happened by chance that this infection became mutually beneficial. Otherwise that cell would stay stuck to a rock creating energy by the Krebs cycle forever, no complex organisms just bacteria, and other microorganisms. Human mitochondria cannot live without the nuclear dna, and nuclear dna makes part of the mitochondria structure, the two are tied together.

  383. Academics do the same thing with other academics. So why not? Look, it depends how you correct someone whether academic or not. I don't as a rule do not correct anyone. I hear mispronunciations quite often like Pompei, but I let it ride. When I was in Tertiary Education I did not like having to cite sources. It annoyed me because learned as those people were, they are still mostly opinions based on correlations. Of course citing sources is the right approach, but it still irks me. Paradigms as used by you comes from a boring book on science by a Thomas Kuhn. I aged reading that book.

  384. It was a bit North European Eurocentric. Being able to digest lactose is a recent genetic innovation, the HGs, the farmers, most living humans don't have it. It isn't even fixed in NW Europe. Pigmentation, ah so boring. Too much concentration on those Steppe people. Did they build monumental structures, form a written language, invent corned beef with potatoes? No, they just moved like those Middle Eastern people did during the Syrian crisis or the ancestors of the Roma and Sinti.

What caused ancient humans to go into caves to paint lions, bison, rhinoceros, wild horses, and why was there a sudden change in their stone tools? Hancock's ancient people were quite mean in not sharing things like the wheel and domesticating bovines and horses for moving the good by cart.

  417.  @TotalFreedomTTT-pk9st  Eye color is more complex than just the SNPs in OCA2 and HERC2, there are other SNPs that effect eye color, so that someone with the main SNPs for blue eyes can have brown eyes, and two blue eyed parents can have a child with another color. It isn't simple Mendelian dominance. Blond hair is really overexaggerated, most people born with blond hair end up with brown hair as adults, and to be blond haired you would have to have all the light pigmentation alleles of the light pigmentation SNPs which is why blond hair in adults is not as common as you think on seeing a crowd of British people and seeing a lot of blonds. Many of them are faux blonds.

  418. Well, the problem is that the Romans of the Imperial Age were the people to know, Rome the place to go, it was the center of everything. Why do you think Gauls, Huns, Langobards, Goths... went there? For the sun! Look at the USA, it's becoming less European day by day, well, that happened in Imperial Roman Italy. But one day, the Empire crashed, and the rats left for Constantinople.

  420. Your definitions are biased. Nothing to do with Imperialism and colonialism. Parts of Europe were under the Islamic yoke for centuries and those Muslims did not come from Europe actually mostly North Africa. I think you are taking your being Jewish and being of mixed race to define what White is and what it isn't. I would expect that from the Kemet and Hebrew African Americans or people who feel entitled because they cannot make a go of life because they think it's got to do with White privileged rather than their lack of ability. Europeans don't think that way, and even the ancients saw differences in humans in their skin tone and facial features but it was just descriptive. Exactly like all those diagrams of different ethnic groups is descriptive, not a catalogue of inferior people or peopel incapable of learning or civilization. You have lost respect from me.

Better to leave the place buried than just leave it exposed to the weather and pigeons. They have an intact skeleton of a freed slave and conjectured about his origins, but where is his dna result, that's better than conjecture. Was he Greek was he a Greek speaking Levantine... looking at his bones tells you a lot but not his exact origins.
    1
  429. That's the point others seem to miss. Knowing someones dna of their pigmentation and ethnic origins doesn't tell you what they looked like in actuality. Not every man with blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin is going to look like Thor or some Nordic God.

  430. I don't understand the usage, what added meaning does it give to a person who is a slave? What's wrong with using the word slave? Surely it is not because the word slave means an African with dark skin from West Africa that was taken to the Western Hemisphere? It is weird either way.

  439. Aren't all species inbred, and differences in individual nucleotides has no effect on the protein produced, a lot of redundancy. Inbreeding is genetically is deleterious when a mutation occurs that has pathogenic effects, and an individual inherits that deleterious mutation from both its parents. Inbreeding is cultural unacceptable, but the genetic effects are not that serious. Queen Victoria inherited a mutation that she passed on to some of her descendants who intermarried. The fact Prince Albert was her cousin and husband, wasn't the problem.

For me, I have my own beliefs which isn't Christianity, so I don't really care one way or other. I wonder why the Pope said what he said, I mean he is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Maybe he accepts the maxim, Live and let live, don't fight.

I have, but it is a crude and old films, rather laughable. Look these people live off making a mountain out of a molehill. I think it is fair enough for the Vampire concept to evolve. I mean who to say it should be frozen, it is a fantasy character.

So they stuck clay on rock rubble, now it's cement. Wonderful. Some old man was buried with two poor ponies, and his chariot. It is rather 2nd rate archaeology trying to prove the Britons weren't a bunch of hairy backed savages. They can make a anthill into mount Everest out of banality. I suggest stop the anti Roman bigotry and find something worth finding.

The composite is okay considering the variety of phenotypes of White Americans.

  500. To be fair, many people think Africa means Black people. The word African means a continent of Black people. That is the way it goes.

Africa doesn't have a lot to put it in the history books except the Egyptian civilization.

  501. Israelites? You are referring to a bunch of Canaan people who left the plains for the highlands and got rid of the Canaan group of deities for just one. El was one of the deities. Genetically they were much like the Phoenicians. Even the Philistines who were like Mycenaean Greeks intermarried with the Canaan people so much that after 200 years their dna was lost.

  502. I guess they pronounce the anglicized spelling of Pompey, as written in English. Well Julius Caesar, Octavian, Cato, Cicero are all done the same way. So we can't complain. I think it's a disservice to those people, but they are dead and can't express their displeasure.

  503. Italian Jews are much the same as other European Jews like the Ashkenazi and Sephardi. Those European Jews have Italian female ancestry and male Levantine ancestry going back to the Iron Age Italy.

People today do the same thing. In God's hands.

  515. It is likely that a statue of the Sphinx made when the constellation of Leo came up at the equinox on March 21st probably fell down due to salt, water penetration, sand blasting, the temperature day and night, summer and winter causing spalling, so it was rebuilt much later. Even Stonehenge was just a heap of stones before it was put back together.

Genetically both Jews are almost the same, the Sephardi are closer to the East Mediterranean than the Ashkenazi. The origin points are not quite correct. Those Jews ended up in Iberia and Germany but started from the same place of origin.

  517. True, its melted gold value will be a lot less that leaving it intact. Criminals are known to be on the stupid side. It could be back in Romania, something like the Stone of Scone was stolen and taken back to Scotland.

  518. I don't have any hypotheses on the Pyramids, I have no need to explain or speculate. The point is why does he, and why do you? Honestly the pyramids are just a pile of rocks to me, nothing more, nothing spooky.

  519. You're right, I was there mate.

  520. I use to have dual citizenship: Maltese and Australian. I suppose it could be tri as Malta is part of the EU. I am just Australian now as I tried to renew my Maltese passport and just got snowed under by bureaucratic red tape. Who wants to belong to a country like that? I don't, and I don't care if I was born in the country and have traced my family there to the 16th century.

  521. Yes but voting isn't mandatory in your country.

  522. Maybe I am ignorant but the Irish never made contact with those old Romans and old Greeks, so they can't be Barbarians. I believe they raided Britain and took a Welshmen into slavery who later converted to Christianity, but they were just pests. The Scotti came from Ireland, but it was the native Britons in England that had most contact with the Romans. The Germans, well, there's no quibbling, they are nothing but Barbarians.

  523. Belzoni the strongman, and born again Egyptologist is just like Schliemann, after gold and wealth. And so is Hancock.

  524. Sorry for the cancer diagnosis of your sister. Dna just tells you of your probability but not whether you will get some nasty disease or disorder. I have seen the dna results of many Northern Europeans and phenotypically they are not blond and often not blue eyed.
    1
  525. Fascinated, okay. It's just history, like watching a child take its first steps, and utter words. They really weren't much, rather overrated especially Egypt known for rock stacking and desiccating human and other remains. Babylon, the door to God, would not be known if it wasn't for a book of superstitions.
    1
  526. I have been to Italy and North Africa. They don't look alike. You know in my town in Australia there are Italians from all over Italy, and various people from outside Europe, I don't have any difficulty picking them apart. You obviously have some difficulty as they all look the same to you. We have a lot of Indians here too, I don't like them at all.
    1
  527. But why? Just because its your homeland, the Americas, doesn't mean every ethnic group wants to go there. And the Phoenicians had heard about distant lands before they set off there. No one in the ancient world around the Mediterranean Sea would have heard about it.
    1
  528. They had the habit of getting assassinated.

  529. The Zulus are a South African population of mixed Bantu speaking farmers and native KhoiSanid ancestry.
    1
  530. Ha ha. Life is short and that profession is rather dicey.
    1
  531. Well, you are not really Phoenician as that culture and ethnic group is extinct and modern Lebanese and other Levantine people have other genetic admixture.

  532. Metatron is an Angel. Mr. Raffaelo is a human.

  533. Man, I will not be watching.

  534. That is one way to put it. I am into free speech. Hancock is entitled to come up with any ideas he wants to, and gather his willing flock, but it also means he can be criticized. If he and his flock say the experts are lying to us, they are hiding the truth. Then you know he and his flock have no evidence or facts to back what he believes, his ideas. Cults educate their members to do the same. Who knows we can have the start of a new religion: Church of Hancock. It has been done successfully do a Sci Fi writer not all that long ago.

  535. It's about accuracy, not racism, and having an olive, white or black skin tone isn't racist. You are a wee bit too sensitive about the topic of skin pigmentation, and the Egyptians whatever their color weren't White or Black as one's race has to do with lots of things than just your integument. I am sure their plenty of sand to hide your head in if you want to avoid life.
    1
  536. My guess is they are blaming all their shortcomings on having a certain look that isn't European. I always find it odd that any European who isn't WASP looking is considered raced mixed with Black Africans.

  537. I always notice hands, and I saw a wedding ring. When did men start wearing wedding rings?

  538. A novel is not the basis of history.

  539. That is the price you have to pay for being successful and prosperous compared with those people from "the East" who are not from less successful or prosperous countries. The Roman Empire paid that price.

  540. Haplogroups don't make people White. There are a large percentage of African American men with haplogroups that track back to Ireland or Germany, they still are not European Whites.

  541. That dog probably has black skin under its white fur.

  542. He is just unlucky in his looks and his dna probably has the same amount of Neanderthal dna as most Eurasians.

  543. I wasn't expecting that accent from that face. Predators stalking prey won't be making much noise. Crichton was a scientist, so he made guesses based on his science knowledge. A theory is science language is different from the colloquial theory, which is a set of ideas based on conjecture. What they should use is theorem.
    1
  544. People don't suddenly change on the precession of the Equinoxes, they keep some of the old images for some time. Take Jesus, he was born when the constellation Pisces was at Equinox, and the fish was used by Christians as a symbol of Jesus, but so was the Lamb, and the aspect of a shepherd guarding his flock.

  545. If there was, wonderful. If there wasn't wonderful. It really does nothing to advance our lives either way. What is the gain for Hancock with his ideas? I am rather suspicious of his motives.

  546. Interesting, a European with vitiligo.

  547. Yes the Aliens thing had something to do with the humans thing, but also cowardliness.
    1
  548. Not really. Everyone is brainwashed, but it might be seen as positive like a belief in an Abrahamic religion or the democratic system or Conservative values on the economy, education, and the rule of law.

  549. The Sephardi mostly ended up in North Africa, and Turkey. The Ashkenazi stayed in Europe.
    1
  550. A bizarre looking one.
    1
  551. In Italy the north is prosperous, the south much less so. The problem isn't about where Africa or Arabia starts in Italy, it's about the rich despising the poor, and exaggerating the differences between north and south in looks, which in my opinion is minimal.

  552. The creature was invented by Canaanites just like Baal and El.

  555. Sounds like any building in Italy.

  556. Darwin did not wear a disposable diaper. Melanin the main product responsible for skin color, it also has other functions in the eye, and the brain, is not an illusion. It exists for good reason, in people and other creatures. Saying it's an illusion is as idiotic as can be. Skin color and racism are not equal, but it appears that it is to her. The ancient peoples saw that humans vary in skin color due to their geographical location. It was just an observation, just as humans vary in height or their type and abundance of hair. There was nothing more to it than that, an observation, not some bunch of silly ideas that one group was less than another because one had curly hair and the other wavy. Attacking racism has nothing to do with melanin.

  557. Reminds me of the old Wool Board in Australia trying to convince people to wear woollen garments. It didn't work. You can wear padded cotton garments, and they keep you quite warm, East Asians managed quite well without wool.

  558. Sure, you can do what you like without being bullied for your choices. I have checked out Nerdrotic and the Scottish accent bloke before when looking for Star Wars content, but I quickly stopped. They are way too negative, and toxic for me. I block channels that annoy me, and I have blocked theirs. Good luck to them, I hope venting their spleens helps them in their private lives which is more important than YT channels.

  560. You should mourn because she is now dead, and move on.

  561. I lived in an suburb full of Italians in Australia, and lived in Italy for some time, I see little difference north or south. I think in the USA, and Australia the coming of short, suntanned, dark haired and eyed people was shocking. Australians of old weren't Nordic Gods but they as a rule did not have dark hair, dark eyes, a non ruddy complexion and tanned slightly.
    1
  562. Italy? Go to Germany or Poland.
    1
  563. Well, so what. When I was a wee schoolboy, my school teacher told me that the Mercator's projection distorted the size of many continents and land masses. You didn't show better projections for the world.

  564. There are Muslims in the Balkans that are due to Anatolian Turks, and Kemal Attaturk was born in Greece.

  565. I don't know. Someone could look like your Fridjof Nansen and be 100% Greek. It is just the luck of the gun.

  566. I understand they want to protect the site from damage and looters, but it still annoys me. It is like a clique has all the rights, and the rest of us plebs have to kowtow to them. Think about Denisova cave in Siberia, whose's Russian ass do you have to kiss to get into that cave.
    1
  567. It took me seconds. It dominates everything they do, how they interpret history, and how they consider ethnic differences. Take Rwanda, the ethnic differences between Hutu and Tutsi is all because of the French, and nothing to do with the long differences between the two peoples that wasn't just physical. The French didn't breed Tutsi in a lab. An African American goes to Brazil and sees a black Brazilian and tells him off for not acting like a black person should act. An American American goes to Greece and sees no black people, and thinks racism.
    1
  568. In Islam there are similar stories, I don't know if it is similarly from some Akkadian myths, or something for those towns which would not submit, Islam, to the new religion. You would think that the sites of those towns would have signs about them and considered taboo. About the Akkadian language, I understood nisu, which means people, that's all. Yes the Indigenous Australians do have stories back a sudden rise in sea level, they have no concept of when it occurred. A long time ago for them is in my grandfathers' grandfathers time.
    1
  569. Why are the planets and the sun in our Solar system, spheres? And the Earth is flat? I really don't like looking at shaven headed men, they look freaky. Extinction is the fate of all living things, one day there will be no more humans. An oxygen atmosphere took millions of years to form, it was produced my microorganisms as a waste product. Oxygen, the molecule, O2, is not toxic, but to form oxygen, the single atom, O, is toxic, it's an antioxidant.
    1
  570. If you believe in blessings you believe in curses. It's just the other side of the coin. Italians are not that mixed, and it's not anything good or bad. The past is the past and should be forgotten. Live in the present.

  571. I am Australian, and I will tell you frankly that if I ever live in the USA it will be in New Hampshire or some other WASP state. I don't have anything against anyone, but I don't want to be hassled or feel uncomfortable.

  572. I suggest you test with another dna company as your results are not credible.

  573. Black does mean Black Africa to most people. It is how it is. The Sahara existed when the Phoenicians moved to NW Africa, it isn't the time of a green Sahara. Herodotus was wrong as the Phoenicians came from the land of the Levant. Herodotus was often wrong because he relied on hearsay or scuttlebutt. The guy sounds like he is just an Afrocentrist but being a little fairer than most, but the reference to the Phoenicians being from Eritrea shows that, the implication they were dark skinned Africans from NE Africa.
    1
  574. It isn't ancient. Coptic languages are much altered from old Egyptian, and even Egyptian changed over time when Egyptian was spoken and not a liturgical language.
    1
  575. China has been hacking since the 1990s, and there have been incidents of hacking into Government mainframes. There are the Chinese Smart Phones. I live in Oz and I don't use Tik Tok as I am easily annoyed by frivolous content. I don't like Youtube shorts for instance. The best thing where possible is to live off the grid as much as possible because every app, everything like Youtube or Google is doing its tracking thing. Ban Tik Tok? No, let it be. Tell people the problems of using the app and let them decide. Governments are not nannies, ninnies maybe, but not nannies.
    1
  576. I would like to go to a time when some places were without human inhabitants, Mauritius before it was discovered by Europeans, so I can see an actual Dodo or New Zealand before the Maoris, maybe collect Moa feathers to make a cloak or Madagascar before the Austronesian speakers from Borneo arrived to see the wide variety of Madagascan animals like the Elephant Bird. The only other thing would be to make dictionaries of languages not known today, and to decipher the writing that remain indecipherable today.
    1
  577. It might have helped to have a miner with some expertise in copper mining to assist the team. Some ancient mines have a lot of broken and discarded items in them. That mine looks so clean. They didn't achieve much. Miners need lamps or torches, their clothing, shoes would wear out, those German miners were so tidy.

  578. Jack shit, I thought it an Australian saying. Interesting thanks. My my sort of humor and it would annoy after 3 videos, but I can see a lot of work was done to make the video.

  579. What about the American Empire? Yes all Empires fall. If Mr C in Romania did good things in his country, the people couldn't care about democracy or communism, it is all about greed and money not ideals and ethics. The Cold War ended because the USSR was economically broken, they bit off too much they couldn't chew. You make it like it has something to do with people's beliefs, but it is just based on negative human nature. Your video is so biased. Humans are more devils than angels and if someone is okay and another person is suffering, the okay person couldn't care less about the other guy. Anyway who cares about Romania and Russia and those other places. This is a song: Egypt once a great land is buried in the sand, India is skinnier, France lost its pants, and look what once was Athens. USA, your day is coming...

  580. Europe a baby compared with Egypt. And who else was in Egypt before the Egyptians? Those people you refer to are different European ethnic groups, and cultures.

  583. The Yamnaya were but one of the Proto Indo European speakers. The males who contributed R1a to the Corded Ware were another as Yamnaya males were R1b. The effects of the Eurasian steppe immigrants lessened as they went further south in Europe due to large population sizes. In Northern and Central Europe, plague preceded the arrival of the immigrants, and killed off many of the Neolithic farmers.

  586. Sort of Sepharad means Spain, the Sephardi were never Spanish and neither were the Moors. Some Mizrahi Jews left otherwise there would be no Ashkenazi or Sephardi.
    1
  587. Mr. Elliott is one odd looking fellow. Reminds me of a frog. Very common accent that woman has, Caesar did fight in Britain once he managed to land in Britain. That Emperor was African because he was born in Africa, near the land of the first Africans a Berber tribe in Tunisia. The second portrait was darkened, a bit suss. Mr. Elliott has lost my respect because he is mistaking being African with being Black African like some Nigerian or Kenyan. Black Africans do not look like that, the beard, the hair. Look, if people want to think this man is a Black African, okay, they are still wrong, but what they believe is what they believe.
    1
  588. People don't have children in the West and the modern parts of Asia because they cost a lot of money. Education takes a long time, people marry later and are only able to have 2 children at most. Female fertility falls off to zero after about 35 years.
    1
  589. Semitic languages use tri consonantal roots, and it doesn't change, for example KTB refers to writing, and nouns and verbs can be made from those roots but adding vowel sounds between the consonants, and some suffixes, and prefixes. You really don't need vowels, but over time the vowels change, so that is how the languages change, the tri consonantal root doesn't change.
    1
  590. Well the Lion's head is speculation because the head looks small on the body. Never noticed myself, I am not into that sort of art. There are plenty of Lion statues on many public buildings and you could just go to a stone mason and buy one. Of course size seems to be an issue for you.
    1
  591. Yes, funny, but that is from a man who loves armor, weapons of all sorts. If he lived out his fantasy, his life would be short too.
    1
  592. Yes you are right. From my experience people who inherit no genetic markers from a specific ethnic group is because their parents' genetic markers for that ancestry was small.

  593. I think Mr Rabbit is quite low brow. It is said that the IQ of Italians have decreased quite a lot since the Imperial Rome age, and Mr. Rabbit seems to prove that.

  594. Race isn't about skin color except in the USA. That man is a bigot because for him White excludes lots of people who are not of European origin from the Northwest Europe. That is why West Eurasian is used because it excludes the notion that some peoples have of what a White person is. And Jesus was West Eurasian.
    1
  595. Well all we can say is that each culture has the oldest known form of writing or the wheel, but who invented the same is unknown. The picture of regular, common snails that are eaten are nothing like the snail whose organ has the purple, blue or red dye. The Phoenicians could travel across the sea because of the keel, otherwise they would have to stick to the coastline. The coastline was not mountainous, the inland was, the coastal hinterland was fairly flat, well watered and fertile. Mesopotamian sea ports? Alexander the Macedonian was not the first person or king that wanted the ports, trees and ships of the Phoenicians. The sacking of Tyre was silly, without the people there would be no continued cash cow, but just one big hit of pillage cash, Alexander was rather stupid to sack Tyre. Purple is the color of Witches and Wizards. The colors produced by processing the glands of those sea snails varied from red, blue and different shades of purple.
    1
  596. War should be forgotten, our dead remembered, not interested in barbed wire. All those folks care about is gold and silver. I sometimes wonder "Do we have to know everything about the past", and maybe some human remains left in situ or place somewhere that isn't a cardboard box in a museum storeroom, a place that is more reverent. Dna can be taken, reconstructions made from skulls, we can know more about these remains than just keeping in a box for age and health can be assessed.

  597. The point is to do the punching. Comfort is important to me. How would those helmets help with an arrow to the face? Personally close quarter fighting is asking for injury, pain and death.
    1
  598. I have a problem with finding decent and recent studies of ancient dna. What I get is a lot of agendas, people who want certain ancients to the Nordic Whites or Black Africans. Sometimes you cannot tell from the thumbnail. It's so annoying. AI voices are common, no human face behind the channel. Another problem is the supposed aliens that spawned all these ancient peoples.
    1
  599. Well, it's discarded trash on the street. What about the dickhead that left that rubbish there? I don't care about the rights of those type of people.

  600. Samurai films are a favorite on mine, but the type of swords used and the fighting style are not of interest. For example, Okami itto, the Lone Wolf and Baby Cart, uses a certain style, and his one on one opponets uses another style, it means nothing to me. I have to say that it is annoying that Americans of non European backgroup have to tell you often that they are America. I understand he looks like a Korean, George Takei looks Japanese and Razib Khan looks Indian, but stop repeating I'm American. Just stick on your gravestone.

  601. In most of below Sahara Africans their skin is quite dark, its consistent except in places admixed with ancient Middle Eastern farmers. It has something to do with the West African Neolithic Bantu speaking farmers that settled all over the south of the Sahara Africa.

  602. Or more simply, that all English speakers are of English ancestry. You cannot say that even of Australians, Americans and Canadians.

  603. I don't get it.

  604. No one could possibly know that. It is just imaginative claptrap. Women do a lot of gatherering, and will catch small animals, but not a large animal. Women are not that good at throwing spears even with a spear thrower.

  612. It isn't a theory, it is a bunch of ideas.

  616. It isn't succeeding that breeds hate. Being different in a negative way, being tall or being blond or being light skinned can be different but it is positively received. Being an immigrant is being different, coming from a small town to a large urban center is being different. In those cases being different is negative and discriminated against. Gypsies are not successful, and they ended up exterminated in WW2, and they are fairly universally hated. You just have to be different from the norm.
    1
  617. Why should you? You're a foreigner of mixed ancestry like most American Blacks.
    1
  618. Tolerant or they just ignored it as long as it wasn't their son. I think the emphasis on male homosexuality in old Greece is exaggerated, it's like an obsession with some folk, even those painted scenes on pots. I guess any sort of sex sells.

  619. Western Europe has gone down the crapper. It's all the immigration of aliens from outside Europe. The UK is okay to live in as long as you stay away from large populations centers, the mass media, bastardized universities.

  622. It's the same in most of Europe. Low birthrates, importation of foreigners to run health care, security, transportation... Why do you think Britain left the E.U? The foreigners moving to Britain from E.U countries not just Bulgarians and Romanians but Indians, East Asians, Negro Africans.. It got too much for the Brits who by nature are Xenophobes.
    1
  623. My oh my, such a lot of hatred towards an insignificant group of people who like the Lilies of the Field neither reap nor sow, and have none of the benefits of those flowers, the fragrance and beauty. As a Southern European, Ashkenazi Jews, the most European ones, are the bane of my dna tests. The reason is these Jews cluster quite closely to my ethnic group, probably more closer to Southern Italians, Greek Islanders and Sicilians than to mine, but still very close. Many programs put them closer to me than my own ethnic group, yet I have no Ashkenazi Jews as matches even distant ones. My matches are of my own ethnic group. One thing about Jews is that they do not cluster with any landmass, they just cluster in the Mediterranean Sea. Southern Italians, Greek Islanders, Sicilians and my ethnic group cluster where they are found in Italy, Sicily and parts of Greece, but Jews sort of float between Sicily, Southern Italy, and the Aegean Sea. Between mainland Greece and Crete is where the majority of Jews locate. Greeks have a Slavic component. I thought everyone knew that Ashkenazi Jews are the result of Southern and Central Italian women and Levantine Men sometime after the majority of Central Italians were highly admixed with Anatolian Greek speaking immigrants that moved to Italy after the late Imperial Age of Rome when foreign admixture in Italians was at its highest.

  625. True, but so what. Italia is the name of that peninsula since ancient times. Why split hairs?

  626. Why can't they? You just need the raw materials, the ores, and something that can heat the ores. What's hard about that. Yamnaya had ancestors, we all do.

  627. I have never seen the actor Brian Blessed without a beard, and it's the same type of beard. It isn't the existence of Jesus that is questioned, it's his godhood, it is easier to go for for Jesus didn't exist than his godhood. My idea is that Jesus had black hair, tan skin, black beard, looked Middle Eastern, but blue eyed. Blue eyes are not uncommon among West Eurasians, and being Middle Eastern does not mean being a negro or a South Asian or some South Pacific Islander i.e Black. That man is biased. Baldness is a West Eurasian thing, not just European or some type of Jewish man. Jeffrey Hunter was American, Max von Sydow was Swedish, so what British Jesus.

  628. The appearance thing was a loaded question and probably came from someone who is in one of the camps, the White or the Black. He knows that the question is loaded so he avoided it, it is only natural. Yes cowardly, but someone who relies on a specialized employment as he does, he has to watch his back. Being called names is different from being banned from his employment. The problem of using Black is that lots of people are dark skinned enough to be called Black. In Africa, the different regions have there own Black people, in Egypt's case it is Ethiopia and the Sudan, and the ethnic groups there are Black, but different from other Africans who happens to be black.

  629. I don't believe you or the man is one Bullshit artist. In Australia, looks of people say they are Italian, but they end up being Iranian or some other foreign nationality.

  630. Slavery was common and not just Black slaves. The old Egyptians wanted gold from Nubia, and slaves. Why not? They probably had Levantine slaves, Libyan slaves and bought European slaves.

  631. Look, the pyramids could be basically rubble with a stone exterior and passage ways.

  632. The news is for entertainment. Unfortunately most children accept all their told especially about religion. In our relationships we all want that one life long spousal relationship, when humans are not actually monogamous, they just train themselves to be, and shut out others.

  636. Actually light skinned African Americans claim Native American ancestry. Skin color and hair texture is not really an indicator of race, it's not dna evidence. The thing about Americans, Euro Americans that is, is that they look vaguely European but cannot be placed in any country in Europe. They don't look Irish, English, German. Swedish, Italian, Greek, Polish... they look too mongrelized to be anything.

  640. Never heard of her. Look she can claim what she likes, but it doesn't mean she cannot be questioned about her identity and why she claims what she says. I live and identify with a country I was not born in, but raised in. I cannot identify with that birth country because I am too alien for that place. I don't speak the language, I don't care for their main religion, I don't care about their culture. However, I don't deny where I was born, my genetic ancestry, my parents, I just don't identify with it. When I was a child there was a black African child in my neighborhood who was the son of Italian immigrants. This child was Italian even though his ancestry was from Somalia. This woman Mitchell doesn't look Spanish or Scottish or any European, so her claims will be challenged, and so they should be.

  643. I thought the Sphinx was older because of Astrological iconography. Sphinx a body of a lion, so constellation Leo. The bull Apis represents the constellation of Taurus, and the usage of the Ram as Ra, represents the constellation of Aries. Look at Jesus with the lamb Of course this could all be coincidental. When in academia you have to be prepared to be scrutinized and even derided, science runs on paradigms and questioning paradigms can arouse a lot of anger. So Graham Hancock says some things which can be rational, the precession he is talking about is the precession of the equinoxes. The Spinx's head being a lion's head is conjecture. Graham Hancock uses a lot of natural things, then runs with it with his ideas. He says the Giza plateau, it's a plateau, a flat area, now that sounds like a good place to build the Sphinx and Pyramids. Erosion of rock depends on the type of stone. Hills can be leveled even in ancient times. Usually I don't listen to Graham Hancock, he has a lot of problems with things he doesn't like. Pyramids were a waste to time and money as tombs since they were robbed soon after they were finished complete with sarcophagus and mummy. I want to thank the Sumerians for the seconds, minutes and hours, and the degrees that Hancock mentioned.

  644. North Africans are not Negroes. You know that, don't you? It is only dumb Americans who think everyone on the continent of Africa are Negroes. North Africans are not that dark, only the descendants of slaves called Haratins. I tell you what Haratin means, it means having skin the color of shit.

  646. Why is this important to you? I couldn't care less. WHGs don't exist anymore, and even Latvians and Estonians are basically just ordinary, mundane Europeans even if they have a multitude of tiny segments supposedly derived from WHGs. I can understand people disliking the nugget black, that's a shoe polish, of the Cheddar Man representation but whether this dead man was pink, olive, tan, dark brown or black, it's immaterial as his race is extinct.

  647. There are differences around the Mediterranean basin. Europeans are distinct, well usually, from those of the east Mediterranean, and definitely to those from the south Mediterranean. You don't have to be a racist to notice these differences. One thing about Italians is they are like lizards, sun lovers, and get quite brown. In other regions of the Mediterranean they take efforts to stay pale, out of the sun.
    1
  648. You are exaggerating. Italians tend to have Thalessemia, it is a similar blood disorder. It's due to an adaptation to the Malaria parasite. Sickle cell is mostly black African, African Americans are mongrels of mostly black African ancestry and some European, naturally they would have Sickle cell anemia. Hispanics are mongrels of Native American, European and black African. Italians have little or no Negro ancestry. You shouldn't exaggerate.

  649. Yes, but as with European Australians, European Americans do not want to identify with their non American born ancestry and culture. It's their choice. I am 100% of my ethnic group, and I don't identify with it at all.

  653. Mediterranean is a catchall, it doesn't mean much except that the peoples live around the Mediterranean Sea. Egypitians, Greeks, Spanish, Italians, Slovenians, Montenegrins, Turks.... don't have much in common. And genetically some like the Greeks, Italians, Spanish, South Balkans cluster in Europe, and the others Egyptians, Lebaneses, Turks.. cluster with Middle Eastern and North African peoples.

  670. Well those ancient people you call Hebrews were just other Canaanites speaking the same language, but unlike the Canaanites living in what is modern Lebanon, had no trees good enough to make ships. So of course, any of the local ethnic groups nearby the Phoenicians would need their assistance and their trees to make ships. The bible is not history, it is a biased religious work.

  672. Yes, I guess. There are some questions that no living person or previous living persons can answer. The Egyptians painted many people pulling a large weight. Is that how it was done, it is unanswerable. A good answer is I don't know, rather than speculating and coming up with a lot of weird and not so wonderful answers.

  673. I can tell you why. They are sick to death of a bunch of inane foreigners coming into these old monuments to damage them with their bodily secretions so they can downplay the role of real Egyptians building those monuments.

  674. Your Wasps and Celts have a lot of Steppe ancestry which came into Europe in the last 4, 500 years. So whose more European? Blow ins from the Eurasian Steppes or people whose ancestors where in Italy in the Mesolithic or the Neolithic? The Brits and Irish come from people that lived not in Britain or Ireland but the Eurasian Steppes, they are immigrants who spread plague to the Neolithic farmers and the remnants of the hunter gatherers killing most of them off. Great ancestors they have.

  676. What you are saying is those with special interests in their work field are better than people with mediocre abilities with academic qualifications. Sort of like Mr. Faraday with electricity and its applications. There is nothing wrong with higher education but we in the West have gone too humanistic and egalitarian and made it a thing for everyone regardless of ability and interest. I suppose you can have a bunch of dwarfs playing basketball, so why not a bunch of average so and so s doing Organic chemistry.

  677. Interesting, but no one speaks ancient Egyptian, and no one knows how it was pronounced. Hapi is a transliteration, an approximation of some word written in the Egyptian writing sysem. Afro-Asiatic languages as a rule do not use vowels but consonants.

  684.  @JohnDoe-jb5ko  Ashkenazi Jews, non practicing ones too, are easy to spot in dna testing as they are quite related to each other, and underwent a hugh reduction in their population, making their descendants look like 5th cousins. Saying that those dna testing companies don't try to break down the ancestral components of Ashkenazi Jews.

I blame the Americans for their goddamn slavery based on using Negroes from Africa that has give rise to a lot of mixed African Americans who think all of Africa is Negro, all the achievements of people around the Mediterranean is by Negroes, the ancient Levantines and the Hebrews are Negroes.

Haplogroup E originated in Eurasia, just as it is common in Africa, big deal, R1b, R1a originated in the Steppes between Europe and Asia, but are very common in West Europe and East Europe.

  696. To many people like this woman, I won't honor her with a name, think everyone in Africa are Black Africans known as Negroes. African means like the name Sudan, the land of the Blacks. So Egypt, Libya, and NW African are located in Africa, to her it means those countries were inhabited by Black Africans from the beginning of time. Anyone who is not Black African in Africa are immigrants. Her attitude towards Sicilian Italians is just backward and racist.

  710.  @mississippigod3938  Not really. French people are a central European people, and Italians are Mediterranean, their ancestry isn't quite comparable. I think the testing company the woman used must not be 23andMe or AncestryDNA because she wouldn't get such a weird result. People do get unexpected results due to adoption, IVF, NPE but I guess she knows she isn't in those categories.

  717. Question: Are you suggesting that the Romans lumped Crete with Egypt? Chinese languages are actually quite different from each other, whereas Romance languages derived from some form of spoken Latin, and are more closely related than the Chinese languages to Mandarin. The Romans only cared for taxes, and peace in their provinces, as long as you didn't respect their laws and religious beliefs, you could believe in your Gods, your language and your culture. Latin and Greek were the languages of the Empire, and Roman money the currency, so the Empire was unified in a sense without exterminating the ethnic differences of the various Roman citizens. China on the other hand tended to be authoritarian and as it is today, a totalitarian State. The Chinese has a form of ethnic cleansing, that is they moved into the territories of different ethnicities and formed clans which incorporated the non Han ethnic groups, and dominated them genetically at least in the male lines. Much the same happened in Europe when the Steppe Herders moved into Europe proper from its periphery, and took local women as their wives and concubines leading to the almost complete replace of the male lines in Western Europe.

  718. It is kind of strange to me to try to control people's thoughts and feelings. Hate is an emotion, so is love. So people should be sent to jail for spreading love as well as hate. Race hatred, race love. I think the whole Brexit thing was because of this suppression of people's feelings, their discomfort of having their High Street full of foreign language shops, and alien behavior. If the Government was honest about its doings it would have held many public meetings to hear what the public thinks and feels about immigration, about the presence of large foreign religious groups in Britain. Instead the Government does its thing without any regard for public feelings. I live in Australia, and the Government here thinks multiculturalism is a success story because they country has become richer, more sophisticated, but it comes at a cost. In this country what it means to be an Australian has disappeared, there are lots of foreign enclaves with no regard for the Australian culture and way of life. I don't like it. People are entitled to express themselves and if it's race hatred fair enough. There is a big difference between saying something and picking up rocks or arms to inflict violence.

  719. I don't like the AI, the pronunciation of some words is grating. The domestic animals and domesticated plants shown in this video are not Egyptian or from continental Africa, they are West Asia and Middle Eastern from the Fertile Crescent, and the western Zagros mountains. It somewhat boring to go through a long list of Pharaohs, and yes, Pepi lived long, too long into his dotage. So even in old Egypt old age comes with frailty and lost of acumen. It is clear that the history of Egypt is not one unified stretch of history but separation between the Upper and Lower regions, and separation within Upper and Lower Egypt. It is not one long continuous history but fragmented and separate.
