4:22, didnt know that this was found in Žrnovnica. Its a place very close to where i live. Cool. Btw here in Croatia we are celebrating old slavic Pagan ritual which hasnt been diminished with arrival of Christianity. Its a regular Western Carnival, but people have old Pagan custom of dressing as Zvončari(bellmen) to scare away evil spirits. Its really cool that it survived all these years. Also fun fact is that there is one Mountain in Bosnia which was named after slavic god of thunder. And when Christianity came, they had to convert nearby tribes into being Christians, so the peak of the mountain (mountain name is Žaba) in Bosnia was renamed into peak of saint Elliah (vrh svetog Ilije). And everytime when i was kid, if there was a thunder in my area, my grandma used to say Elliah is rolling the barrels (Ilija bacve valja) 😁

First of all, make sure this last name is really Slavic and not Baltic. Since you say it is very rare it suggests the latter. In Poland there are many Baltic names either Lithuanian or Prussian/Sudovian. And do not take the -ski/-cki ending as the proof of being Slavic/Polish, as the root of the name may be Baltic (or even of whatever other origin)

[@aprilmonard2303]

What’s you’re last name? I also have a somewhat rare Slavic last name.(It’s not the one used for this profile). I totally understand your struggle though, it’s been the same for me.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

East Prussia has a restless history. Originally settled by Balts, possibly also some Scandinavians. Then largely wiped out or culturally absorbed by German crusaders by the 14th century. There could have been some Slavs moving in while the area was dominated by the Poles from the 15th century or thereabouts. Would be useful to know where the other families with your rare name are located.

"Celtic" is pretty much synonymous with mainstream/mainland European culture. Why we now think of Ireland etc is because the traditions survived there the longest.

The reason why the traditions endured the longest there might be because Celts from mainland Europe colonized Ireland. If you look at history, colonized regions mostly preserve tradition for longer then their place of origin.

[@barbaricvm0]

I would like to point out that the Slavs did wear armor,i mean they had to either wear some armor or they were really good at evading arrows,stones,bolts and at the end of the day swords and spears.Historical sources love to generalize and i agree with E N about how slavs are a mixture of proto baltic and scythian culture that later developed itself in its own culture,and so i defenedly would say that if slavs wore armor they would be wearing scythian style helmets,scale armor if they had the chance to get it,square shields that are painted,and that sort of stuff(this is obviously a generalization by me,they would wear any armor they could get their hands on like anybody in the time)Remeber that the proto slavs and even the 3 main slavic groups were swamp people,lived in swamps and forests that they could easly defend and their religion was very nature oriented,it was about forest spirits ( Leshnik/Lesnik or Leshen in English),a god of Thunder wielding a axe made of stone ( Perun/Kresnik),it had all these drowned women that lived in ponds in the forest (Rusalka) that would pull you in the water if they manage to seduce you with their beauty etc.So it all makes sense to me to act in this way of prefering gurella warfare,so ambushing in those swamps i mentioned because they knew the area,they would easly ambush people like Romans.And there is evidence the slavs managed to beat a commander from constantinopole when he went on a military campaign north of the Danube,I forgot his name. Anyways,just some things about Slavs i wanted to share with you all.Great video M.Laser !

[@gunarsmiezis9321]

Pērkons has a hammer. And yes slavs are likely older than Roma.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

The idea that Slavs were ‘swamp people’ seems a bit odd. Perhaps goes back to the somewhat hostile 19th century theory spawned in Germany that they originated in the Pripet marshes (now in Belarus). Certainly large regions of current Slav settlement were heavily forested until the 16th century.

[@barbaricvm0]

@@sirrathersplendid4825 Interesting information, I dont know, i read somewhere that slavs used to live near swamps where they would easly ambush enemies with gurerella tactics... Of course not all slavs lived in swamps obviously but some certainly used swamps as an advantage for ambushing from what i know.

The same Strategikon mentions Slavic use of reeds for breathing under water while waiting in ambush for their enemies. They could apparently wait for hours in the water until their enemies finally arrive and get ambushed.

If Celts passed through their lands then they may be tharacians or mixed race of illirian tharacians and Sarmatians

[@freesbee5326]

The only important thing is to differ celts from irish. These are britonic or whatever they classified. Its a common mistake made by nationalists, fascist-like people. Romans did not differ any people except their friends. So a gaulish were generic celtic untill they, gaulish, became friends to romans, even if they were closely related to romans in language. Celtic could be the generic term for europeans in indoeuropean family. While gaulish was an italic language, same family of latin. Somehow like english speakers listening to a saxon or frisian

great video, it's really refreshing to see this subject treated both seriously and at the same time without nationalistic presupposed answers. there is a lot we don't know and historically this subject was continously percieved through nationalstic lenses, first to prove slavic inferiority and now to prove superiority, so it is great to see slav trying to see it objectively instead of using it politically. I am curious what's your opinion about issue of settlement continuity in general. I know consensus on this subject went back and forth, but I am guessing with genetics we should have a bit clearer answer to that. I mean to what degree culture changed and people remained in given area. Clearly not all people move, but then again it could be that vast majority does. You mention this issue briefly in video.

[@daPawlak]

so, would you say that it's more cultural assimilation? obviously linguistic don't fallow strictly genetics as people can adopt language. also we know that germanic tribes that settled in Roman territory where relatively small populations compared to locals. Sure this was settled population vs semi-nomadic tribes so difference in numbers can be explained by this. however we can't really tell how many people simply stayed behind and later over centuries adopted to new dominant culture. I guess what I am getting at, that there might be indeed a permanent local population that simply assimilates to whatever new culture take over given territory. 'Take over' here being a simplification, as this would be more cohabitation, we have kind of well documented example of such situation from medieval times with Bavarian Slavs.

*Another fact, which is not fully known to the general public, the dominant position of the Slovak language to the other Slavic nations. In this context, we mention the work of American linguist and scientist prof. Price's, which considered the Slovak language as " the key to all Slavic language" and for the media to an understanding with other Slavs. (John D. Price, The Key to all Slavonic languages, SHF, Columbia University, New York, Dec. 15, 1943, 9 p.). Professor J. Price this idea expressed at the Congress of Slavists in Warsaw. The Polish delegation came out with a proposal that was approved by the definition of the first Slavic language in which the decisive point is Slovak. In addition to the Czech delegation, everyone voted for the Polish proposal: "the Slovak language is the oldest and according to him is then created other Slavic languages" (Canadian Slovak, Slovak, the oldest Slavic language, Toronto, March 23, 1989).

3:56 Volga-Kama region has been inhabited by Finno-Ugric tribes for thousands of years. Highly unlikely that slavs ever lived there before Russian colonisation since linguistic evidence points to the fact that the only Indo-European neighbours we had were Indo-Iranians (i.e scythians), not slavs. E.g the word for "slave", as in Finnish "orja", Estonian "ori", and Erzya "uŕe" is most likely from the Proto-Indo-Iranian word for "Aryan". Proto-Finnic later had very heavy contact with Baltic-speaking peoples. 4:45 The picture is kinda misleading. The quote refers to the fact that all Slavs literally spoke the same language up until the 9th century.

Slavic people are of Scytho-Sarmatian origins. The sanscript of the Aryan linguistic shows that the most similar to it is Slavic language as a whole. The Scythians where the first people to ride on horses and it is shown that Slavic people used to do it long time ago. The Slavic gene R1a can be traced in the regions between todays Poland and ural as far as 8000 bc. TODAY, after all the wars where the Nazis destroyed documents and tried to make everyone to think Slavs where wild animals living in the forest and came to Europe 400-500 ad. Which we know is bullshit. Many places and have been found in todays east Germany,Poland and Ukraine that where thought to be of Celtic origin but later shown to be Slavic, with towns or so called "Gród(-s)/Grody" dated back as far as over 4000 years.

Maybe the germanic rules over the slavs of the region and other region that have the material culture of Przeworsk and Černajov. I dont think that this culture can be defined by slav because there was in a moment that the germanic tribes rule this area and the migration of the germans to the west make that cultures dissappear.

As for the "turkic" bulgarians which are bulgars they resided inside of early the early slavic zone and spoke a language that was kind of a mix between hungarian and old slavic, they later expanded Into the ukrainian steppe which split the original tribe and the language became non existant as it was probably gradually replaced by the slavic tongue before moving to bulgaria. Then during medieval times the slavs that came to bulgaria arrived through dobrogea coming south from ukraine. By this time the thracian tribes were either numbered or non existant, so in short bulgaria is mostly comprised of slavs although theres probably a good 5-10% of the original thracian genetics around in the average bulgarian

Explore Nude of Afghanistan and perhaps Luristani of Iran. Neuri and Nude, might be a coincidence, maybe not???

[@ghanvedsingh8946]

Neurians most probably were of Greek orrigion people

[@gunarsmiezis9321]

The aryians invaded Iran and Afganistan not slavs.

[@nenadjovanovic1199]

the "proto slavic " lands are between danube, dnestr, dniepr, don ....that's why the serbs have the 4 S as their symbol...anybody who says differently either doesn't know or has a different agenda

[@gunarsmiezis9321]

I 100% believe slavs come form arround Belaruss, because that is the only way where no other europian people when in the inital spreading out period.

[@freesbee5326]

Maybe schytians and neuri were just celtic, if for celtic we mean the european (westmost) indoeuropean linguistic continum. Just celtic. Then came the huns and mixed with celtic and the result was a squatting slav

CONGRATULATIONS. YOU ARE THE FIRST MAN WHO LEAVE KOSOVO OUT OF SLAVIC PEOPLE. I greatly appreciate what he did. Thank you from Albania.

BC not BCE.

[@MichaelScottRamming]

Hmmm, so why are the best estimates of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth being four years before himself?

[@mark98115]

Is this a serious question? Jesus Christ was not born on the 25th of Devember. That is irrelevant. The forces change of AD & BC to CE & BCE is an moronic attempt to alter language and history. The fact remains that year 1 is based on what waa perceived to be the birth of Jesus Christ when the calendar was created. I am an atheist, so to me this is not some religious thing. I can see this stupid bastardization of language now everywhere with this insane "woke" idiology. By the way, Christianity is a foreign religion and I would much prefer to have indigenous people follow their native religions. That does not change the fact that it has been AD and BC for hundreds of years.

[@joliettraveler]

A like your videos, but get rid of the BCE and CE nonsense.

[@keithhanley7796]

BCE = BC; CE = AD - if he simply said "the sixth century" how would we know which he meant?

this is really hard to follow. after you say a point, talk about it a little. dont just say A, B, C, D...say A, then talk about it a little, B, C, D, talk about it a little. spacing, cadence, timing pls

Thats good. But where is "suka blyat"???

[@bivouac1858]

"balto-slavic" label actually makes no sense. Baltic and Slavic are completely different languages, like not even similar in the slightest. A slavic person could not understand a single original baltic word and vice versa, so how can they be from same "root"?? The only similarities they have is some scarce loan words adopted in the period from 1000-2000, because of wars, trade and politics, but not much else.

[@noisss1000]

Even though some linguists still reject a genetic relationship, most scholars accept that Baltic and Slavic languages experienced a period of common development.

[@martinsriber7760]

Yes, it makes sense. They are more closely related to each other than to Germanic languages for example. And yes, Slavic person could understand many original Baltic word if they are cognates.

[@dragonno6587]

+Martin Šriber No they would not understand anything. I tried it with my russian friends. Just because some word starts with same letter, does not mean you can understand it at all.

[@dragonno6587]

+Bivouac I agree. It looks retarded how in this "baltic-slavic" category you have two different languages.

[@martinsriber7760]

+Clevor Trevor I am Slav. I understand something. I also know something about linguistics. Also what does look retarded about baltic-slavic category? Are you aware of indo-european language family?

Great video, except where you showed a wrong map of Serbia. There is a chunk of it colored differently in the south. Aside from that, great video!
