*Attn: Channel Host* (see below, English Male DNA) 🗝️ The true post flood *"Original People's in the Region, are the Basque and Etruscans",* prior to the migration of some Greeks, and the aggressive movement of the Germanics, which are recognized as the origin of the Romans. This perspective is supported by DNA, yet remains a vague subject, likely due to the greater population of Europe and Britiana being Germanic: Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, Romans, Vikings, Nords, Dissecting the Germanic DNA is a subject that just struck my interest: 🗝️ *"For it is obvious in the "Mainstream Academic's" ignoring, that the British DNA demonstrates a less than 2% of the original English Male/Paternal remains in Britain." This literally defined "Ethnic Cleansing of English Males" and to the extent that all known English Adult, Child, and Male Babies we're removed, whether by sold into slavery, or execution, and there's no evidence for slavery, or appearance of this DNA elsewhere, to date.* *This subject is stated in findings, but beyond the numbers, it is fully ignored, as far as my searches have resulted.* B Bartlett Sociologist/Behavioralist Historian

Many is an understatement, pretty much every single inhabited village inland is surrounded by relics of some kind. There was a large system of towers and forts as well, many still stand, and if there's an ancient church in the middle of nowhere it's likely there's temples or graveyards or holy wells around it, if they're not still buried below it that is.

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

There is far too little historical material on Sardinia available in english. The Nuragic civilization is especially fascinating, I find. Thank you for posting this! If I may suggest a counter-argument to something mentionned in the opening of the video, seeing Sardinia as having the shape of a footprint seems to me like it requires a top-down map-based view of the world that is fundamentally modern. It is often stressed how ancient Peoples viewed their world in a much different way than we do today. To me, this could suggest a modern origin to this idea, a modern scholar looking at a map, noticing the shape, making a linguistic connection and suggesting it as a possible origin for the name. I'm no historian though and there is nothing academic about this argument. It simply occured to me. If the basis for the footprint hypothesis is more solid than I believe, I'll gladly accept any correction to my statement.🙂

[@lucaloddo825]

The Greek names Ichnusa and Sandalion both refer to the shape of the island (which seems to resemble a sandal), although Greeks knew Sardinia also by Argyrotepsis Nesos (Island of the silver veins), punics also named it Kadossene (Island of the miracles), while Romans ended up adopting the latinized form of the indigenous name, "Sardinia", from SRDN (Sardan-), such name is found in the Stele of Nora (the oldest document of Western medi) and aswell in the Egyptian inscriptions under the same form. The name means "Land of Sardo" or "Island of Sardo", the latter was the god of sardinians from which both their land and people take the name, such god will be known by punics as Sid Addir Baab (Sid - Poweful - Ancient), by Romans as Sardus Pater (Father of Sardinians).

@@Tugela60 It's the other way around, the fish "Sardine" aswell the part of the western mediterranean sea locally named "Sardinian sea" even by ancient greek sources, takes the name from the island.

D.W., you are doing such a great job!! I think Nick would be proud!! This a great place for all of us who love real history, archaeology, anthropology and, even linguistics, and all that goes along with REAL historical study. There are so many crappy, poorly or, even, not at all researched, pseudo - history channels out there, that this has always just been a wonderful treat! Hey...just a question: I particularly loved Nick's interviews with academics, archaeologists and historians! Do you think you'll do more of those, in the future? His episode on Bronze Age Pylos, with Theo Nash, was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I would SO love to see more talks with Mr. Nash, on Bronze age Greece! He will make many students a great professor/lecturer! I watch MANY lectures - one of and entire semesters, or quarters - with of lectures, and I know that some are good at it and some, however fantastic a scholar they may be, lecturers, they're not. Mr. Nash, and all of the other academics with whom Nick did great interviews/programs, are all people I - and, I'm sure, many of us - would love to hear from/see again! BTW, D.W. you are a GREAT NARRATOR!! It's so refreshing to hear, in this day and age - especially, sadly, when so many people have channels which, even when the history is, on rare occasion, correct, and when their scripts aren't, flat out, plagiarized, they, still, have so many mispronounciations, of, even, BASIC words, that it is just unbearable - and, annoying beyond belief - to listen. Their general sloppiness, laziness and lack of basic knowledge irritates me. I don't know why, but I guess I'm picky, in that I expect my history documentaries to be filled with information that is well researched - or, that is, properly researched, to begin with - read in an intelligent manner, with correctly pronounced words, and by a person who sounds as if they understand what they're saying/talking about, and from a script that hasn't been plagiarized - especially one that's not blatantly plagiarized from Michael Wood or the BBC, but, because they're an ignorant gen z, they think they can take credit for it - even to the point of gushing over compliments of "their" writing - without anyone knowing that they're thieves. SMH. THE ONLY CHANNEL I'VE FOUND THAT SATISFIES MY, APPARENTLY (I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO HARD TO FIND) UNREASONABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARIES I WATCH - ALL OF THEM - IS THIS ONE!!!!!

Sardinia is spoken of in HaYashar Says that the original Hamilcar had a brother named Lukush (Lucius). Hamilcar Barqa is actually just his title, not his name. It translates to ‘The King [of the] Place [of] Boats’ ..his name was Angias. His brother’s son was named Giv’losh, which is Gaius Lucius. This Hamilcar was the original ‘Heracles’. The Libyan/Tunisian Hercules. A king who took Yaniyah (Juno) as wife and built her an aqueduct across the Gibraltar to bring her water from her homeland ..these were the actual ‘Pillars of Hercules’. Yaniyah was the daughter of Utzu who was a king that was deified during his lifetime. The king at Kupatitzia (treasury place of Utzu) aka: Capitoline hill ..yes, Utzu was the man who became the myth called Saturn. Saturnalia was his day. Anyway, back to Sardinia. The prince has to go to war in Southern Italy against a man named Turgos on the plains of Campania. They both died in battle and 2 ‘nuraghe’ were built for them as grave sites ..one across a road from the other. It was the main highway. The road called the High Way. The Appian Way. It was their graves that began the tradition of nuraghe along that road. So much history was rewritten by later Romans to hide their origins. The elites trace their bloodline back to Tunisia (Carthage) and others to Macedonia & Ionia before that. Some were the Chittim who were called the ‘Spear People’ (HaRomakh in Hebrew). HaYashar confirms all this. Check out Trimm’s translation. It’s fascinating👍🏼

Hi :) pardon me, but what is the HaYashar?

[@justsomeguy4033]

@@C.C.369 HaYashar is just the correct transliteration of the title of a book most only know as ‘Jasher’. ‘Sefer HaYashar’ actually translates to ‘True History’ and it was referred to as Scripture, by Scripture, which means its original manuscript predated Moses & his 5 books of Scripture. Whether one is religious or not, it is a history book written by a lineage throughout the timeline of all of human history, up to the time of Moses. It gives the background to the history in Genesis and gives the account of what was happening in the rest of the world throughout that timeline. So its focus is not on the Israelite religion that came after it, known as Judaism, but is a literal source of history from their preceding ancestry, the proto-Hebrew account. Whether one wants to believe its account or not, it is a firsthand source of history, greater than even Plato’s third/fourth hand accounts of history translated into Greek from its older original Egyptian account. Funnily enough, it even covers Plato’s ‘Atlantis tsunami’ in its second chapter. There is the free common translation of it that can be found online in pdf, but James Trimm did a great job in his translation and even kept all of his own religious bias out of it. For those who want to dive deeper into the book. I think all historians should at least give this book a read thru. Because all the characters, places & events from secular history & myth are there, just under Semitic names & alternate timelines than the ones handed down to us by Rome. One just needs to reverse translate the names into the culture languages we recognize them by.

Nope. Sardinians score 80% I2a like Bosnian,/ 70% Romanian 30% and other Balcan folks. For example Romanian word,magura'( hillock) is ,mogoro'( hill) in Sardinian, also with ,r' while in Latin is ,macula '

As Sardinian I've never heard before of those thousands Berbers migrated to Sardinia 😯...But, welcome refugees

Is it ok to come and live here today? Australian family asking.

[@andreslebon3869]

@@Terraceview Yes, why not? Nice weather, nice wild nature, beautiful beaches.The big problem is the not good economy, it is difficult to find a job, also opening your own business is quite challenging considering the high taxes and the bureaucracy's level. Socially also could be difficult considering that we Sardinians are rather reserved people and it might take a while to get a social life with locals. I hope to have answered your question.

[@Terraceview]

Thanks for your reply, what do you mean with high taxes? Is this income taxes or general taxes like local council rates / paying for rubbish removal etc? We are looking at working from home so is there reliable internet in general? @@andreslebon3869

14:34, Etruscan was not an Anatolian Indo-European language, right? I always though it was considered an isolate...

[@alimessaoudi5013]

The same thing for Ligurian and Minoan, they're completely isolates pre Indo European languages

[@Davlavi]

Interesting.

Looking at the "village" built onto the large dry-stone tower...its very similar to some Orkney sites...also the earlier towers are similar to the scottish west coast brochs.

[@paolomasala8125]

Also, the holy wells, same as ireland See Santa Cristina Well, a masterpiece

[@Tugela60]

As well as sites all over the world. It was just a sensible and efficient way of building dry wall structures, so many civilizations ended up building that way.

Sant Antioco or Sulky is the oldest city in italy.possibly Europe as Phoenicians were there before the Greeks and the Romans

Thanks good video but the Etruscan language was pre Indo-European, not Anatolian.

As a man with Sardinian origin, I am proud of my island, hence why we have the St.Georges flag with four Moore head blind folded, but recently had to put the blind fold on their foreheads because the African nations found it insulting.

My ancestors in my D’Auria Family Tree were the nobles and royalties living in Sardinia in long lineage. The original last Italian surname is:”De Auriae” meaning “ The sons of Auria “. My ancestors as the ancient nobles and royals lived in Sardinia from 12 th Century until 15 th Century. They migrated to Genova, Italia to outspread over all of Italia ( Italy) in later years in a fact. About 940-990 A.D. (10 th Century), my ancestors under the D’Auria Family Tree>>>the De Auriae Family Tree, first emerged in Sardinia in my family genealogical history on my lineage in timeline in a fact.
