What Are The Greek and Norse Gods?

Sadly the end of the Anglos and Saxons are upon us, soon to be replaced without a sword lifted or a shot fired, but through mass 3rd world immigration, the English not having children at even replacement level and literally being afraid and subservient to their government

In many cases, the etymology of many Indo-European words is not clear and they can be translated from Ossetian.If you want to better understand Indo-European languages, you need to turn to Ossetian.
"Your Shout" my Scottish mate from the Pub Clan......😂....🦘
GREAT DOCUMENTARY,,,STORIES FROM MY ANCESTORS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME,,
Banje means bath in Albanian and Albanians for the most part are not Slavic.
Perun was also the name for the Albanian God. Zoti Perunija. My mother referenced it often when I was a kid.
could you western-christian lobbies, uhm i mean "scientists", invent another word for "indo"? we indians do not wish to be part of your bogus theories about "indo-europeans". we are what we are, non-white and most importantly *non-christian*, and not part of your world. all the best for you and bye bye.
"Mater" is Latin for mother
FAKE
Hey, you really shouldn't be showing a potter's wheel when you talk about bell-beakers!! You have to wait for about 2000 years before the potter's wheel would kick in, mostly in the late Celtic period in Continental Europe!!!! Quick basics on pottery technology in continental Europe especially designed for your future videos: hand-building from the Neolithic to the late Iron Age; slow and fast potter's wheel during the late Iron and Roman period; slow wheel during the Early Middle Ages up to the 13th century (but hand-building in Anglo-Saxon England and in Scandinavia); fast wheel and more and more glazing from the 14th century onwards almost everywhere in Europe. But there is still hand-building or slow wheel in many isolated regions of Europe into the 19th century.
WHAT A BUNCH OF SH-T!!!!!!
MYTHICAL utopian GIANTS greeks called Hyperboreans
That was well done. Good story telling.

?I don't get it that's like asking what are faeries. They are a made-up race used in mythological stories to paint a picture.
Of course not, Senegalese and Saudis are the real Celts.

the peninsula was given to Tarshish. They gradually forgot their name. After a while the call themself Kjeltic (celts) . I dare to say they occupiad only the west and the north part of the peninsula. And the mediterranean side was ocupied by a tribe that arrive from the norwest part of africa (posible atlanteas). Later at the end of bronze age the iberus (from middle east arrive). Celts also have the islands, Hibernia and Albion used more to extract Tin , with which they negotiated with the known world. ``Iberian Celts`` sound a bit confuse since where two people which diferent origen. Iberus were semitic (from middle east) and celts Jafetite (indouropean).
Great upload. Thanks 👍🏼

You have major misleading statements ! 1. While you're talking about 6th and 7th century, you are mentioned Cyrillic and Cyril and Methodius which created the alphabet 2 CENTURIES LATER and were BULGARIANS. 2. Cyrillic was accepted by Knayz Boris I (893) ruler of Bulgaria during the "First Bulgarian Empire" and almost together with Christianity (864) and much later on was sent by the followers of Cyrillc and Methodius in Russia and since then russians accepted the alphabet and the Christianity as their older brother in that time Bulgaria ! It was easily to be accepted since in the lands of Russia was fulfilled with another successors of The great Kubrat khan (the father of Asparukh), brothers of Khan Asparukh - Batbayan Khan (Crimea) ,Kotrag Khan (Volga river and most of them accepted Muslim). 3.Meaning for BULGARIANS in that time means: In 681 Bulgarian Khan Asparukh came from Krimea to the Balkans after his father death and UNITED the 7 Slavic tribes with them and Thracians against Byzanthium, so after that, population of Bulgaria is not just Slavic and a mixed from all these 3 "nations" !!!
This is amazing. Finally the truth of the Druids is told. Wahahahaha. Wahahahaha Wahahahaha. It’s funny how unknown people proclaim things on YT.

Imagine an exotic people wearing flowy embellished capes of sheer fabric that looked like wings. Riding beautiful horses and chariots. They wore exquisite headdresses and eye makeup and knew about advanced knowledge considered "magic". An exotic people. From a far away land. The people of Ireland England etc couldn't pronounce pharoahs so pronounced it as faeries. Egyptian Queen Scota/Princess Meri-taten married a Galician Greek king in ancient Spain then Iveria. Their three sons were pharoahs princes in her side and Iberian princes in their father's side. They went to Ireland and took other Egypto-Iberians there with them. Possible reason for the faeries legends.
I was forced to watch this in class on a sunny friday afternoon. Nice video if you are interested in the topic
Do not make foolish mistakes naming people as North Macedonians, it's only Macedonians. There are only Macedonians, without north, south, west... you can't name a nation by the name of the state, especially when the country is in the Balkan peninsula :) In the past North Macedonia was Socialist Republic of Macedonia, so people who live there were Socialistic Macedonians? Or in Aegean Macedonia there are Aegean Macedonians? Or maybe in Pirin Macedonia, now part of Bulgaria - there are Pirin Macedonians? No, there are only Macedonians who live in North Macedonia (for now), and three other parts of Macedonia who belongs now to other countries...
You are mixing up everything. Beakers don't have genes and they don't reproduce in a biological way: bell-beakers are not of Indo-European origin, which itself is not a genetic but a linguistic concept. Genetic studies can hardly demonstrate the origins of a pottery technology and style. By the way, the local development of bell-beakers in Spain is more plausible from a stylistic and ceramological point of view. Whereas for the language, they may have been speaking Indo-European way before the development of bell-beakers in Spain.
absolutely amazing work. Astounding, simply astounding!
As an Irish--American I take exception to your lame description of our understanding of our own history. Bad move IMO and probably many others are insulted by this notion of 'leprechauns' being all we know. We understand 1848. We understand the scars and rags we wore. We know our history thank you very much.
my gradfather was a hungarian immigrant he came to United states in 1910
Before it was overrun by hordes of Muslims
Bad logic, language DOES NOT indicate origins infallibly, go to the DNA, particularly mitochondrial
I don't care if I am not spoken to, or can communicate in the language. I don't care if people can't communicate to me or not in that language. Or I don't understand it, and am cut off from understanding, so there is no relationship or connection to it. For me, its the green fertility that is the grass in the land in the video, if I was there and I would lay down in that green and want to be blanketed and its let me rest, here do not disturb. Its to be laid in that blanket of green. I wouldn't care if people looked at me or not, just to lay down in that field of green and be covered by it and just close my eyes and I would go into a very deep, restful peaceful sleep and slumber.
How did the germanic tribes push thru the slavs as the persians pushed germanic tribes out of iranian plateau region ?
Hi Kevin hope your doing good friend could you make a video about the Getae and Dacian people thank you 🙏
My ancestors.
Oh, Iran . Beautiful nation , or peoples . Great foods , the spice game is real. Something deeep in my soul , wants to go home . Eastern Europe . Beautiful place
Respect to Slavia. I said it before and say it again . Slavia was great . Beautiful cultured . And took care of one another . Nature in our women’s hair . Agriculture little dispair Z. Not a fan of slave being in the name . But the people and men and women made the truth rise above the name .
Thanks you for your research into this! I look forward to watching more of your vids like this one. Hail Thor!
Thank you! I will do so in the near future
As a Germanic Pagan, this taught me several things about Thor I did not know. Thank you! And Hail the Thunderer.
