[@whitewater9963]

That's what the 19th century anthropologist Johann Blumenbach thought of the Caucus; he believed that it was the motherland of Europeans/"Whites" since he fell in love with the face of a Georgian woman. That's where the whole idea of a Caucasian race came from and why the term "Caucasian" is used interchangeable for "White".

@@whitewater9963 i did not know that, thank you

[@levishelm426]

​@@whitewater9963 The idea of Caucasians are the pure human race is mostly because of Circassians not Georgians. Circassian beauties were well known all across the world. Even in Britain, on beauty products there were writings as "Circassian women use this too!". There was a concept called Circassian beauties. You can still google and find it. I am not saying Georgians were ugly, they were beautiful too. But Circassians were the best you know. Even the Circassian slaves were the most expensive. More than a century after Blumenbach, “Caucasian” and beauty still went together. The classic (1910-1911) eleventh edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica even singled out the most beautiful of the beautiful. The Britannica praised the Circassians of the northwestern part of the Caucasus as particularly outstanding: "In the patriarchal simplicity of their manners, the mental qualities with which they were endowed, the beauty of form and regularity of feature by which they were distinguished, they surpassed most of the other tribes of the Caucasus."

I'm a 60 year old gigging classic guitar rocker and just started listening to her music. Loreena has opened me up to a new way of experiencing music. I built a guitar with no frets to be played with an Ebow so that I could have a string players kind of expression on an electric guitar. The discoveries on what to do with this guitar led me to her music. Somehow, music has become new again to me and finding Loreena McKennitt has had quite a bit to do with that. She is inadvertently teaching me how to play this new instrument. There is a certain kind of lilt, phrasing and tempo sway that is inherent in her performances that I'm finding compliments the characteristics of my new instrument very well. Thank you Loreena. I'm listening.

@pmilew yeah i agree..it's beautiful and tragic! :'( am circassian, living in the disapora, in jordan.and when i look at this video, i feel deeply sad! looking at the people we were, and how we're disappearing little by little..!! looking at the land we lived in!! it's all gone!! and when she says (of the tongues now are lost) i think of our endangered language and how it's about to be lost for ever!! so sad!

[@barbaralange2364]

It happened to North America with our Elders and American natives of Indian tribes It's sad the world has not changed for the good of the people I pray for the best 🙏❤️

я русский и живу в Кабардино-Балкарии. В столь сложное время я все же не сомневаюсь что у России и ее народов хватит сил и ума сохранить добрые традиции все национальностей и их языки... по сегодняшний день все представители своей нации знают и используют свои языки, которые благодаря адекватным властям закреплены на государственном уровне. Более того я работаю в сфере проведения мероприятий и праздников и через меня проходит очень много свадеб, которые как и прежде проходят с использованием всех положенных национальных традиций и танцев. Даже моя племянница (русская) ходит на национальные танцы и заслужила уже очень много золотых медалей в разных регионах Кавказа. Горжусь ею, горжусь народами, которые сохраняют свою историю и бережно несут через всю жизнь, передавая своему потомству. И очень надеюсь что у всех народов, которые имеют крепкую связь с Россией хватит ума и силы сберечь союз, сберечь страну и сберечь эту сплоченность, которую сегодня так стараются разорвать в клочья...не стоит переживать и грустить... Россия возродится и покажет еще свою мощь всеми самыми корректными и адекватными способами... и слово "Россия" - это все мы... русские, кабардинцы, дагестанцы, чеченцы, буряты, казахи, украинцы, белорусы, узбеки, азербайджанцы, осетины, балкарцы и многие многие другие.... наша сила в единстве и мы не дадим это разрушить ... а всем кто смотрит со стороны протягиваем руку мира и сотрудничества... мы со всеми готовы дружить и вести диалог.... но если к нам со злом, то и мы улыбаясь в ответ дадим под зад и научим как с нами надо разговаривать... жаль что истории не все знают, не все помнят, не все учитывают перед тем как что-либо сделать.....всем мира)

Never lose hope though, you can still learn our language. With persistence and consistency, almost nothing stands in the way of a human.

​@@gviktor4624дочитав твой коммент до конца , видно что и ты историю знаешь только ту которая тебе Люба . так что об истории тебе не стоило заикаться .

[@GrantConnolly1]

Loreena's music fit perfectly with the images in the movie. Truly, a work of art. Thank you.

[@kaasnake5297]

Name of the movie pls|?

[@gavin2715]

@@kaasnake5297 this isn't a movie. It's footage of the Caucasus

[@RainerKonrad47]

For me this video´s according to the song, real and beautiful .

[@ravimahalay610]

Very beautiful song

[@ofiardyanto22]

Sweet song related to the sweet life of a sweet peoples, who lives in a sweet place 🌹

[@bluemoon1992]

Their dance steps are lovely. It's like they mimic the steps and grace of horses.

[@superkaukasus7990]

Caucasus is the best place on Earth. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Adygea, İngushetia, Dagestan, Chechnya, Abkhazia, North Ossetia, Cherkessia, Balkaria, Karachays are the best places in the World. Caucasus is waiting for you with its mistery, culture, architecture, mithlogy, ancient temples and its amazing breathtaking nature...

[@brunsy1990]

Duggie Smith bit much of a generalization there Duggie, as there are sections of America the same can be said as far as not being allowed to mix with 'normal educated people.' and judging by your comment, you should be included in that group. Now please go to your nearest plant and apologize for wasting the oxygen it produces.

[@21wdwrkr]

Duggie Smith I'm going to guess that you're white? Assuming that, you're Caucasian which means that your race is from ___? Dazzle us with your superior intelligence and try to fill in the blank.

[@ninogogiahsvili]

Duggie Smith Georgian people are not muslimsyou idiot.

[@gigabaidoshvili8984]

Duggie Smith Dear stranger. Maybe northern Caucasus(included in Russian federation) really is dangerous to travel to and Azerbaijan really is populated with Muslim people, but these are the only true things among the information you are offering. Georgia and Armenia are christian countries and their culture is not even a bit like western Muslim one. Also Georgia is a 2nd world country couple of decades (most likely even less) away from being a typical European country and if crime rate is what concerns you, it is the >>8TH

[@str.77]

21wdwrkr That's only a 19th century theory that might actually not be true. The stupid thing is that some Americans use the term "caucausian" for whites.

[@zgravmary]

I don't know what is wrong with the 23 people who did not like this video. It is stunning. I just don't know how you did it! You have Loreena McKennitt's amazing song about alchemy, with YOUR beautiful video, which appears to relate to weddings, one long ago and one contemporary? And you make it work so well! I love the men's dancing -- They are the peacocks, the women are in the background. Thanks for this!

[@gillps5130]

You won't see this comment now all these years later but yes, the men utterly were the peacocks, overwhelmingly so that I really did see peacocks in fully display.

[@ravimahalay610]

A body with a beautiful soul will love and admire this song ,absolutely beautiful .Than there are body( 23) ( with chips wont able to feel the song

[@clairesikacoco9933]

Attention, chef d' oeuvre absolu! je n'ai jamais rien entendu d'aussi beau...Loreena McKennit est une immense artiste, unique et intemporelle. Splendide!

[@bonnieoles4212]

I love this video! Thank you for sharing it! I love how feminine the women are and I love watching the men dance. I love the dance starting at 5:08! I love the birds and the horses! I really like this song with the drum beat and, Loreena McKennitt, your voice is a blessing to this world! Blessings to you!

[@frank7411]

Ride on Through the night Ride on Ride on Through the night Ride on There are visions, there are memories There are echoes of thundering hooves There are fires, there is laughter There's the sound of a thousand doves In the velvet of the darkness By the silhouette of silent trees they are watching waiting They are witnessing life's mysteries Cascading stars on the slumbering hills They are dancing as far as the sea Riding o'er the land, you can feel its gentle hand Leading on to its destiny Take me with you on this journey Where the boundaries of time are now tossed In cathedrals of the forest In the words of the tongues now lost Find the answers, ask the questions Find the roots of an ancient tree Take me dancing, take me singing I'll ride on till the moon meets the sea

[@jassigehtgassi9250]

Thank you for writing the words. This is a beautiful song, very soothing and great music.

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

@mtnmanquin We all want for our children only peace and happiness, but without adversity, they grow fat and ignorant of the true cost of things. There must be balance in all things, above and below. How can we understand happiness without having known sorrow? How can we revel in freedom without having lived under the yoke? Do not curse your adversity, learn from it, seek its opposite, and always, for the journey, joy.

[@neiljones9884]

I think life, no matter where you are theses days will bring adversity. To either get what you want, or keep what you have, you must be competitive.
