    Imagine an exotic people wearing flowy embellished capes of sheer fabric that looked like wings. Riding beautiful horses and chariots. They wore exquisite headdresses and eye makeup and knew about advanced knowledge considered "magic". An exotic people. From a far away land. The people of Ireland England etc couldn't pronounce pharoahs so pronounced it as faeries. Egyptian Queen Scota/Princess Meri-taten married a Galician Greek king in ancient Spain then Iveria. Their three sons were pharoahs princes in her side and Iberian princes in their father's side. They went to Ireland and took other Egypto-Iberians there with them. Possible reason for the faeries legends.

    Do not make foolish mistakes naming people as North Macedonians, it's only Macedonians. There are only Macedonians, without north, south, west... you can't name a nation by the name of the state, especially when the country is in the Balkan peninsula :) In the past North Macedonia was Socialist Republic of Macedonia, so people who live there were Socialistic Macedonians? Or in Aegean Macedonia there are Aegean Macedonians? Or maybe in Pirin Macedonia, now part of Bulgaria - there are Pirin Macedonians? No, there are only Macedonians who live in North Macedonia (for now), and three other parts of Macedonia who belongs now to other countries...

    You are mixing up everything. Beakers don't have genes and they don't reproduce in a biological way: bell-beakers are not of Indo-European origin, which itself is not a genetic but a linguistic concept. Genetic studies can hardly demonstrate the origins of a pottery technology and style. By the way, the local development of bell-beakers in Spain is more plausible from a stylistic and ceramological point of view. Whereas for the language, they may have been speaking Indo-European way before the development of bell-beakers in Spain.

    I don't care if I am not spoken to, or can communicate in the language. I don't care if people can't communicate to me or not in that language. Or I don't understand it, and am cut off from understanding, so there is no relationship or connection to it. For me, its the green fertility that is the grass in the land in the video, if I was there and I would lay down in that green and want to be blanketed and its let me rest, here do not disturb. Its to be laid in that blanket of green. I wouldn't care if people looked at me or not, just to lay down in that field of green and be covered by it and just close my eyes and I would go into a very deep, restful peaceful sleep and slumber.

    From what I have heard from scholars of Iberian history, the ancient tribes in the North of the peninsula were proto-Celtic peoples, an older variant of Celts. On the other hand, it was a huge variety of different tribes, not as a single culture, frequently battling each other. Something like what Papua is, countless valleys and mountains inhabited by different peoples with some points in common, such as metal works of similar shapes, such as tools or ornaments, ceramics, or art.

    Poland❤ Slavs were divided into numerous tribes but for centuries they were in very close relationships. It was 12th century when division of slavic language had occured and national languages started to rise. United though different. We have in Polish a word "wiec" (not mess up with WIĘC) which means a meeting of all tribes summoned under a person who was called kniaź (equivalent of duke but it was before classical royalty appeared). These tribes united during historical events and those with the closest relationships formed a given country. Of course many wars happened during the span of history, when some territories where cut off from countries like wars of the Cherven Gords.
