Hulkoff - Kurgan (English Lyrics)

[@yamnayamoment7342]

Very Indo-European. Based steppe ancestors and brothers.

[@DOOMToaster]

Thanks for giving it a shot at this one, it's gotta mean something knowing Par, but probably nothing crazy like with Wide-Wuth where the chanting is just translated to eternity and some other things.

[@Mayblossomtree]

SO FUCKING BASED!!!! LONG LIVE THE INDO-EUROPEANS, PROUD TO BE R1b!!!!

[@argentphoenix11]

Zased.

[@despawningenemy420]

The picture looks like the old viking burial mounds near my city in Old Uppsala xD

[@DeepDarkSamurai]

Based ancient ancestors. They all came from the same ancient land

[@Gods_favorite_idiot]

I would say this is one of pär hulkoff best songs this and einhjar

[@sethfrisbie3957]

Well I do have 60% more Neanderthal DNA than the average person. That is how far my ancestry goes back goes back in time I even have some Neanderthal features. Well here is the rest of my ancestral blood:100% European. British and Irish 63.5% from London for English and Cork for Irish. French and German 20.4% from Hessen Germany along with Switzerland for German and Pays de la loire France for French. Finnish 0.9% Broadly North Western European 3.9% from Norway Southern European 10.3% Greek and Balkan 10.3% Haplogroup J1b1a which is DNA that is between 4600 and 12000 years old that originates in Anatolia making my ancestors be among the first people to migrate into Europe during The Bronze Age. I guess this is a coincidence.

Ive been waiting for this one yes The begining of it the languege at the start ive tried googling it but found nothing so idk man

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

Yup... I've tried my hardest over the last two weeks to find out what it is. Speculation's gone everywhere from Old church Slavonic, to Kven Finnish to Proto-Indo-European. No consensus. Could be anything.

[@Gods_favorite_idiot]

@@DukeofTxtspeak yeah bro are you a finn? Kinda cool if you where and are the finns scandanvian or just nordic?

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

@@Gods_favorite_idiot I am not a Finn, no. And from what I've been made aware, Finns are neither Scandinavian nor Nordic, they're really their own kinda thing, more closely related to Hungarians than to Swedes or Norwegians.

[@Gods_favorite_idiot]

@@DukeofTxtspeak ok cuz a while back me and my mom where talking about like nordic people and she asked if hungry was a nordic country cuz that were they film the last kingdom (Damn good show by the way if you havent seen it bruh you need to) and i told her i am not sure cuz i know serbs bosnians croats and all of them are slav and the macidonian are related to the greeks i think they are the albainians are illarianys (sorry for my spelling) and romainians and hungarians idk what they are

[@moritamikamikara3879]

@@Gods_favorite_idiot Romanians are Latins like the French and the Spanish. Hungarians and Finns are called Ugric, but I'm not entirely sure where they come from.

[@joeysonofander7479]

Very interesting. I am curious about the untranslated chanting though.

[@DukeofTxtspeak]

As am I... I'll find it one day. Even if I have to go a' viking all the way to Haparanda to get it out of Hulkoff himself.

[@joeysonofander7479]

@@DukeofTxtspeak If you need any volunteers to participate in an expedition to find this knowledge, you have my service.

[@wintersking4290]

@@DukeofTxtspeak sounds like Sarmatian? I can't say for sure, but the syllable patterns are similar. They do use a lot of old dead languages in their songs so it probably is something rather obscure.

[@Jarlaxle674]

Curious now?Has anyone figured them out?

[@Eric-eu6rl]

This song sounds like its about mongolians, but im probably wrong.

[@DoctorKalkyl]

Concidering the name of the song is Kurgan and it mentions peoples like the Scythians, Goths and Saxons and a buch of other small details, it's far more likely a song about the Proto-Indo-Europeans.

[@TheGruspastej]

Considering it is about the Ural mountains, kurgans and bronze age. It is probably about the andronovo.

[@iansahleen1173]

The Mongols have had contact with east Europe for a long time so sorta

[@ikillstupidcomments]

"Kurgan" is a romanization of a word used in Russian and Ukrainian to refer to large burial mounds which were constructed by the culture groups inhabiting the steppelands north of the Caspian and Black Seas from ~5th millennium BCE up into the reign of the Mongol Empire in the mid-2nd millennium CE. The "Kurgan hypothesis" is the most accepted explanation for the source of Indo-European languages and cultures, identifying the early inhabitants of the aforementioned steppelands as the originating culture of Proto-Indo-European language and the cultural ancestors of most central Asian and eastern European civilizations. So you're about three to six thousand years late -- it's about the peoples whose descendants' descendants would eventually become Mongolians (among others). For example, when they reference Scythians, they're talking about a culture of nomadic horse people living on that same steppeland who made frequent incursions into the Balkans and Middle East while simultaneously stabilizing the Silk Road... in the 7th-3rd centuries BCE, some 16-20 centuries before the rise of the Mongol Empire.

[@ikillstupidcomments]

Basically, if you ever need a reference for the cyclical nature of human history, look at the central Asian steppe. We have decent historical records of dozens of different cultures and civilizations spread out across thousands of years all living in very similar ways in the same area doing essentially the same things as peoples who existed thousands of years before and after them.
