What Are The Greek and Norse Gods?

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.
I was forced to watch this in class on a sunny friday afternoon. Nice video if you are interested in the topic
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.
absolutely amazing work. Astounding, simply astounding!
As an Irish--American I take exception to your lame description of our understanding of our own history. Bad move IMO and probably many others are insulted by this notion of 'leprechauns' being all we know. We understand 1848. We understand the scars and rags we wore. We know our history thank you very much.
my gradfather was a hungarian immigrant he came to United states in 1910
Before it was overrun by hordes of Muslims
Bad logic, language DOES NOT indicate origins infallibly, go to the DNA, particularly mitochondrial
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.
How did the germanic tribes push thru the slavs as the persians pushed germanic tribes out of iranian plateau region ?
Hi Kevin hope your doing good friend could you make a video about the Getae and Dacian people thank you 🙏
My ancestors.
Oh, Iran . Beautiful nation , or peoples . Great foods , the spice game is real. Something deeep in my soul , wants to go home . Eastern Europe . Beautiful place
Respect to Slavia. I said it before and say it again . Slavia was great . Beautiful cultured . And took care of one another . Nature in our women’s hair . Agriculture little dispair Z. Not a fan of slave being in the name . But the people and men and women made the truth rise above the name .
Thanks you for your research into this! I look forward to watching more of your vids like this one. Hail Thor!
Thank you! I will do so in the near future
As a Germanic Pagan, this taught me several things about Thor I did not know. Thank you! And Hail the Thunderer.

Your are spreading lies here, we all know now, that all real Europeans were black Africans, show real pictures and respect to that and not your big lies like this...
This was a masterpiece, Kevin. It is beautifully done. Well done, sir. This one got me pretty choked up at the end.
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.
This is the austrian (imperial) and then soviet (russian) version of hungarian history... here in a modern, nice presentation box. You are on a wrong way!
Lies... lies.. lies 😅
az jutott eszembe, hogy szavak egyezosege nem feltetlenul jelent rokonsagot, csak azt, hogy egyutt toltottek bizonyos idot egy masik neppel. viszont a nyelvtan, amelyikbe a szavak be vannak illesztve es osszefuggesbe kerulnek, nincs emlitve a r"okon nyelvekkel" kapcsolatban
You’ll find lots of people in the USA (Philadelphia, Boston). who identify as Irish-Americans. We are a proud people, even when far removed.
so if understood correctly all of you have the same Slavic blood and pride of the slavic history .bud western countries managed to make you fight each other?? so they can enslave you all because you are the biggest ethnic group in Europe .. imagine how mach they was afraid of ussr if a democratic union of slavs it will bring terror in to there minds so they did what English did best DIVIDE AND CONCORD p.s. im not slavic im cypriot {Cyprus } Greek Cypriot
We the Bracaerae trained weak kids like Asterix and made him strong North the Pirinees...
If one makes bell beakers in Anatolia, sure they wont be the same in Iberia or Ireland because the local materials arent 100 % the same and the utilities also diverge according geography.
My mother inherited haplogroup is U5 which is hunter gatherer (appeared in Europe between 20 000-12 000 years ago) while in my father side im R1b which appeared 6000 years ago from the Yamnaya peoples of the steppes

Listening to the poetry sounds similar to welsh cymraeg in lilt and sound - missing quite few tones though - makes sense if the druids in both countries, were the ones who preserved the languages
Interesting d soundinglie th - in welsh dd is a single letter sounded lie soft/gentle th
I always thought that some Spaniards or even Mexicans look like some celtic people in movies. Well, at least they have some traits that are shared with the forest people. The movie ''Ondine'' (2009) is great and it reminds me a lot of the celtic culture.
Do the Gypsies fall into Proto-indo-European category..
I am of Irish decent my Family name is McClare ,But we have found that it was maybe changed before 150 years ago or so ,from Moclar or Moclor when we(my GGG grandfather + mother ) came to Australia ,Has anyone heard of this name ? would love to know

So they were Germans….
NOTHING BEATS GREEK EMPIRE THAT SHAPED THE WORLD
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.
Thracians not greeks. Troy was thracian, Eneas was thracian.
Im English and I love that celtic languages are being revived and brought back to life. Also in Wales and Cornwall too. Beautiful sounding languages that mist be nurtured and protected
They are allowing themselves to become conquered people.
THE WORDS THUG JUNGLE KHAKI ARE HINDU WORDS......ENGLISH SPEAKERS CANNOT FIND THE WORD esemplastic in an ordinary lexicographic enterprise........ha ha ha ha clowns claim to be kings
Thank you so much ❤
Old Gaelic seems to share a lot of similarity with Welsh in its vocabulary - the cognates are much more clear than with modern Irish.
When will iranians get off their arrogant high horse........thinking their europeans....the persians and greeks were forever enemies....marathon,and thermopylae ,etc..oil and water don't mix.....😊
