This is very interesting. I like the fact that you know the history of every country you visit.

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

Its the reason I go to these countries and in particular as many museums as I can with the time I have. I also try to read up on the places I visit before I arrive. All nations have something to offer. The people of those nations should be proud of their history. Without that history they wouldn't be who they are. This is why I get so angry why I see people destroying history in the name of virtue. Without our bloody history we wouldn't be where we are and we need to remember all history be it the good and the bad. Sadly the leftists don't seem to understand this is 2020.

[@yas-bkrt]

@@TheWonderingEnglishman I agree with you. And imagine how much history has been deleted and/or destroyed apart from the things we already know.

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

Sadly so much! Civilisations we are not aware of have been erased as have secrets...

[@VeeShenge]

I'm here because my girl is Latvian, and I'm black South African. What are the odds? But this is a great video, great explanation of the history.

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

Glad I could give just a small insight:) Many thanks for watching and commenting Vee :)

​@WonderingEnglishman Livonian Brothers of the Sword Brothers of the Sword en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Blackheads#/media/File%3ASchwarzh%C3%A4upter_09.jpg manuscriptminiatures.com/image/20895 The Livonian Brothers of the Sword (Latin: Fratres militiæ Christi Livoniae, German: Schwertbrüderorden) was a Catholic military order established in 1202 during the Livonian Crusade by Albert, the third bishop of Riga (or possibly by Theoderich von Treydend). Pope Innocent III sanctioned the establishment in 1204 for the second time. The membership of the crusading order comprised warrior monks, mostly from northern Germany, who fought Baltic and Finnic "pagans" in the area of modern-day Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Alternative names of the Order include Christ Knights, Swordbrothers, Sword Brethren, Order of the Brothers of the Sword, and The Militia of Christ of Livonia.

Brilliant video. I first came across the Black Heads whilst visiting Estonia many years ago. I thought I nred to find out more upon the story so thanks for filling me in. I would love to see a movie made about Saint Maurice's story, perhaps work on it myself. Great stuff!!

Thank you Jason! :)

Nice video. In Tallinn old town we also have the house of the blackheads. Original from the middle ages. Have you seen that?

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

I have seen it but only from.tur outside - next time I'm there ill attempt to visit it. :)

[@dee74raz]

What’s the music (non-classical where the lady is singing 🎤)🎵 used in the video, where you’re speaking?

[@TheWonderingEnglishman]

What timestamp? I speak more than once :)

[@dee74raz]

The wondering Englishman it starts at 1:17 of the video

[@ejadadi]

So my question is this: is there any involvement of black people in this brotherhood? It seems strange that a European "brotherhood" would adopt the use of black imagery in most of their depictions including their chosen Saint (St Maurice). And from the images I have seen of the black sculptures, these are affluent African people, adorned in lots of jewellery so not your usual slavery depiction of Africans.

[@amram1305]

@Danceblox...they aren't africans, they are Israelites.

[@zuhmangcamu3761]

You realize it's a walking distance right? Same tectonic plate... Israel and Africa

[@zuhmangcamu3761]

Does anyone know why they had a disagreement with the Great Guild?

[@zuhmangcamu3761]

Doesn't that coat of arms technically feature 4 black men?

- "colour didn't matter...?!" Black Heads were admitting only Germans - Baltic Germans, moreover, before mid 18th century only Germans were allowed to settle in Riga and Riga is 100% German city. Since there were no other colour people, the colour really didn't matter :) BTW, Jews settled outside Riga in suburbs, until the late 19th century, they were not allowed to settle inside

[@lindaknoebel6151]

This was absolutely amazing video and I can't wait to see in person!! Great video!!!!

[@lordvonmanor6915]

Buddy, firstly at this time German aboriginals were coloureds meaning color didn't matter. Secondly, there were requirements to join the Blackheads and one requirement was you had to be Black (Tri Racials), hold a Russland citizenship, own a vessel, single, and a merchant (Jewish). That's why color did not matter to Tri Racials (Mauren). As stated in the book der Skythen und der Deutschen. Baltic Germans are Russo-Germans and still have Maure DNA.

[@BOOMSTICK-PRODUCTIONS]

@@lordvonmanor6915 I need this book in a English version 🫡

[@lordvonmanor6915]

@@BOOMSTICK-PRODUCTIONS I do not know of any Books on this subject in English. The House of Blackheads is very important because these are the descendants of the same Black Russ that built Salomon's Temple. The same Blacks who started Freimaureri "Free Masonry" in Europe which literally means Free Blacks. Same Blacks who built the first hotels in the world. You may want to get books on Free Masons which includes Cernoch "Black People". They were the highest paid people of their timeline.

[@lordvonmanor6915]

@@BOOMSTICK-PRODUCTIONS Okay, i can explain and you can ask questions that way everybody can read my response. House of Blackheads only allowed Baltic People is correct but they were Black People meaning they were Multiracial Aboriginals. The word Baltic comes from King Baltazar the king of Macedonia and ruler of Black People. Follow my language and use of words as best you can. King Baltazar of the three wise men was Indisch meaning he was Black. Aboriginals of Novgorod Russland were called Jaroslav meaning they were Black. Like all aboriginals the were constantly interbreeding with other aboriginals "Multiracials". Therefore indigenous people of the Baltic became known as Cernoch "Black People" but it also includes Albino Aboriginals known as White Nword or Soudame or Weiße Mohren... These White Nwords did not look like the Albinos you are thinking about with blonde hair and very pale skin. They looked like pro basketball player Steven Curry. That's what Albino Nwords look like compared to Albino Afrikans. When an Albino Nword marries a Nword of colour this Aboriginal couple is called "Interracials."
