Understanding Our Origins Scythians and Ancient Greeks

Good morning is Monday, July eighth, twenty twenty four, and we were back once again. I didn't take a break this weekend. We did one on Saturday that was pretty lengthy, almost three hours, and then we did another one last night with Stefan Verstappen on his channel that I simulcasted on too here and that one was almost three hours as well, like two hours and

forty five minutes. And now we're back. Now we're back, so we're going to talk about some of the back stories since we went into ancient Greece for a little while. And we've talked about the Orlando Book in the past, and we've actually read from it multiple times. I like there's five episodes so far of me reading from it that my computer had to reset, so I lost my spot, so I'll have to go back to the fifth one

and see where I left off finish. But oh man, so bush Master said he lost five pounds in sweat in this Georgia heat so far, bush Master, it is going to be one hundred and eighteen degrees according to my phone here today in Yuma. Yeah, and yesterday I did three point eight miles on the elliptical in the morning, well morning ish, and then late last night I had to desire to do it again, so I did another

three point eight miles last night. So I did a total of two thousand calories according to the meter burned and seven point six miles on that elliptical at max resistance. So that was the first for that. That was pretty pretty fun. I just without the phone to be able to read, because you can't read on something that looks like that. I have the TV in the bedroom and I just turned that on and watch a video find find the one that's at least like an hour and a half long, so I don't have

to be messing around with it when I'm trying to use the elliptical. And uh yeah, So that's actually kind of how I got the idea to do this show today. I watched these last night to refresh my memory on it. This is like an introduction to the Scythian information, and then it's gonna

go We're gonna go into the part three. We're gonna go from two to three, and in the third one it's gonna be mostly about ancient Greece, but we're gonna do the Palasgians, Palastgians, whatever our actually talked about in the first part a decent amount. So that was brought up a lot by Am and I bet it's splash. I think that the descendants well, I mean, I'm positive they're descendants of Scythians. Let's see what bush Master at to say. Healed one, did three tours three years in Iraq. Well,

wow, glad you're still with us? Man, how this day was one hundred and thirty six. My Bradley driver drank four gallons of water and never got out of the bread. Yeah. I bet it's all coming out of his pores. They don't have any kind of like air circulation of those things, do they? Like, how do you not suffocate in that? That's crazy? Holy crap. It's like a it's like a death box that

causes death. So it's like a one to one ratio there. Okay, So last night, if you were watching the the uh the fawn Verse, stop and talk, and I think you should. The whole time that I was on, I didn't realize that was producer Steve until the very end. Producer Steve of The Freeman Show Freeman TV. He's been with Freemant forever and uh so I didn't know that was I didn't know thir at the door was

Steve Mercer, So that's that's cool. And I've had Freeman on before and I've watched Freeman forever, and a lot of the guests that I have called upon to be on my show in the earlier days were people that I had remembered having seen X many years ago on Freeman that I was really interested in talking with. And that's how I actually got in touch with Stefan the first time. So it was a full circle type of deal. Pretty cool. Anyway, I wish I had known it was Steve in the first place,

but at least now I know. But someone had put up a comment in the live stream, and what it said was I read the FBI document on Bill Cooper, and that guy was an idiot. He was asking for it. Well, first of all, law you're thinking is flawed. These people were assigned to build a case to put this guy away and take his children.

So that's the person who you're going to filter your perspective on how he behaved and who he was as a man through his enemies that want to destroy him because they were told to by the controllers of this horrific place that we live in, right, Why would you start there unless you were intending on having a negative view of the person. What makes you think that the people who want to take you down are going to say pretty things about you?

How about this, buddy. I've listened to probably every single episode that's still in existence of at the Hour of the Time. I've read his book. I wrote what could possibly be considered as the continuation of Behold a Pale Horse right here called Priestcraft Beyond Babylon, where Bill himself gets to speak in his own words from transcripts from his show. I wouldn't have done all of that

if I thought the guy was an asshole. I listened to him and let him speak for himself in his own words hour by hour as I listened to the hour of the time. He was a good father, he was a good man. So what this guy said, he was an idiot asking for

it. What that really means is that that person is a coward, and in order to make himself feel like less of a coward and less insignificant in comparison to Bill, who had balls to stand up for his rights, He's going to cut that guy down because he should have been acting more like a pathetic slave, like the guy who posts a comment saying he's an idiot who is asking for it. So, now that that's been addressed, let's move on. So I guess there is air conditioning in the Bradley, but it

doesn't do very much. Let's get it into it. You know where the description links are if you know what I notice? Also, so Rumble's deleting subscribers. I have like thirty notifications that people were subscribing to my channel. I have less subscribers than it did on Friday, but over the weekend I had like thirty notifications. Yeah, so if you don't know you're not getting your notifications, you might want to go check that out. You wouldn't hear

this if you didn't if you did get unsubscribed. So I don't know why I'm saying it because it's not like you're going to know anyway. And uh, what else happened? Oh yeah, so the deleted videos? I am currently? I think I am anyway currently. Let's see if I refresh this if it shows it, hold on. I'm on ftjmedia dot com right now too, and I think I'm streaming at the moment if it worked right. Yes, yes, it actually is happening right now. That's awesome. So

we're not just on Twitter and rumble right now. We are going to be preserved whatever on FTJ media, where they will not take down any of our videos and the stuff that was taken down will be put back up there as time permits. Bill was right about Wim Greer. I think there might have been a little bit more to that. I still think Jackie got all wacky. It looks like she pulls his head into her lap and then his head

this way. Because he said that flap come out. It looks like it's being pushed out, like coming from an exit wound, not an entrance. You probably have more experience in that than I do bush Master, but usually little in Figure Out. You know, I don't know. And I saw a tough to smoke in the Zupruder film. That doesn't happen from the bullet impact. It comes from the gun, right obviously, it's the powder residue.

So if you see that tough to smoke right above her shoulder and then you see what happens suicide, it's kind of hard not to put those two together and say something's up. Jackie, the Jesebit, Jackie, the Jews, Jackie whatever you know. Oh, anyway, Jezbit's are assassins by the way sleepers do. Sometimes. We're gonna start with conspiracy question mark Our Subverted History, Part two, The Scythian and their Kid. This is an ash Logos video. When we get this started, jump and get another cup of

coffee. Didn't sleep much last night, but my legs are getting huge and I would seem to have unlimited energy now right now for whatever reason. Thank you Anafar. Okay, let's go to it. You can see, I can see. Let me get myself off the screen, though, So I come back and here we go. So you're gonna I'm gonna have to read this part because he doesn't do this as terribly as the last thing that we were watching. But let me read this there. I will always when I

write it. When I make a video, unless I'm flashing something on the screen to add to something else without interrupting it, it'll always be audible because not everybody's looking right at their screen when they're doing stuff, especially if they're driving. You can't read a screen when you're driving. A lot of times people listen to shows while they drive, especially long drives. That's what I

do when I'm on long drives, so it's better. It's more of an experience if you can actually get all of it, you know, not miss big chunks of it because you have to read something. So it says there are a nation hardly in toils and warfare, hardy. Sorry, let me start over. They are a nation hardy in toils and warfare. Their strength of body is extraordinary. They take possession of nothing which they fear to lose, and covet when they are conquerors, nothing but glory, so they don't

pillage either. Trogus Pompeius said that it's always struck me that there seems to be something of a black hole and historical record, as if much has been left out or danced around, and when dealt with, it all framed incorrectly and grossly mischaracterized. On that note, the Scythians seem to be the most appropriate starting point for our journey in a very real sense. We'll be starting in the middle, as the Scythians seem to be the happy little center with

respect to the Indo European people, the tithe it binds. With regards to the span of time, historians and cultural anthropologists often like to place them at the center point between the dawn of recorded history and approximately three thousand BC and the present day. Geographically, they're situated roughly in the center of nearly all

major activity until Rome hits her stride and Europe begins to take shape. This centrality is appropriate because they're not only occupying a central role in time and space, but in nearly every other respect as well. It's difficult to overstate their importance and relevance to the history of the Indo European peoples. Sorry, before I get up and get that cup of coffee, I'm wanted to just say

something. These people unite the Gothic slash Germanic people in the Rusts. They all come from the same source, and that's something to keep in mind when you see how the spin doctors view and make want us to view both groups of people. This is an ancient war, which is why it always seems strange how little attention conventional historical accounts are paid to them. You'll find this

to be a recurring theme as the series continues. This subject is incredibly tricky to cover, properly because the label Scythian has been so elastic and flexible.

Stretching back to their very first mention, if we picture the Proto Indo European people as a tree trunk splitting off into two or three similar trunks before splitting off into ever smaller branches, the step people known as the Scythians and their kindred could best be thought of as the largest and most centrally placed of these two or three smaller trunks, and the one that produces far and away the

most branches over time. Genetically, culturally, and linguistically. It's difficult to think of any nation or empire across the Middle East, Europe or Asia that wasn't either founded or deeply shaped by this large family within which the Scythian element is centrally placed. I'm forced to phrase it in such a way because labels

and language begin to fail us a bit here. Instead of speaking of them as one people that began to radiate outwards from the Caucuses across most the known world, conventional theory has instead treated each subgroup as if they were a distinct people with a different culture and way of life, emerging relatively independently from one another, and of course we give each of these a separate name, causing

them to appear even more distinct. One group moves into India and suddenly becomes Indians, another into Persia and becomes Persians, Another into Bactria and Parthia and become Bactrians and Parthians. In many ways, this isn't the most helpful or efficient frame through which to view history, and it was bound to cause great confusion. For example, if you look up Scythian in Wikipedia or any similarly conventional source, you'll hear them spoken of as if they simply emerged out of

nowhere around the ninth or tenth century BC. Yet, intriguingly, the historian Marcus Justinus states the nation of the Scythians was always regarded as very ancient, though there was a long dispute between them and the Egyptians concerning the antiquity of their respective races, the Egyptians being confounded by these arguments, the Scythians were

always accounted as the more ancient end. This is quite the explosive statement, as our age tends to consider the Egyptians as the oldest of peoples and empires. Supposedly in full swing, long before conventional historians claim the Scythians even entered the picture. But it gets even more intriguing, and I relate the following accounts not to agree or disagree with them just yet, but because they were

stated by reputable and sober minds of their age and certainly deserve consideration. The seventeenth century Irish historian Jeffrey Keating outright claims the Scythians were of Noah and his

progeny and claims that the Sumerians with an s were descended from them. Epiphanius of Salamis states that the Scythians were the ones who built the Tower of babyl and that the ancient Sumerians themselves were their descendants, and goes on to state that Scythian monarchy began soon after the flood and continued to the captivity of Babylon.

He further states quote that the laws, customs, and manners of the Scythians were received by other nations as the standard of policy, civility, and polite learning, and that they were the first after the flood who attempted to reform mankind into the notions of courtesy, into the art of government and the practice of good government end quote, and herein lies one of the most intriguing

mysteries of this people. Not only were they extremely capable warriors on the battlefield, credited with the invention of metallurgy and bronze, longboats and galleys, even silk, and responsible for some of the greatest thinkers of the age, such as Anacarsis one of the Seven Sages of Greece, as well as being brilliant artists and craftsmen who used the massive amounts of precious metals they acquired over time to produce pieces they would stand up to any created today. But they also

seem to have been universally respected and well liked. The Greeks very much. Their genetic and cultural kinfolk seemed to view them as their more wild and less domesticated cousins. Homer called them both the most just of all peoples, as well as proud, and according to Strabo, they were men who quote by no means spend their lives on contracts and money acquisition, but actually possess all

things in common except sword and drinking. Come Ascylus, the Greek poet calls them the law abiding eaters of cheese made of mahersvel and tells us the Sakai were noted for their good laws and were pre eminently a righteous people. A writer in the first century BCE by the name of Pompeius Tragus gives the following account quote justice is observed among them more from the temper of the people than the influence of the laws. No crime, in their opinion, is more

heinous than the theft gold and silver. They despise as much as other men covet them. They live on milk and honey end quote. He goes on to further praise their seeming complete ignorance of greed and covetousness and vice of every sort, in a manner deeply reminiscent of Tacitus's later portrayal of the ancient Germans.

Jeffrey Keating refers to them as a brave and generous people, and Strabo states, we regard the Scythians the most straightforward of men and the least prone to mischief, and also far more frugal and independent of others than we are.

So who were these enigmatic people? As I mentioned previously, It can be difficult to tell where Scythian ends and Greek or Indian or Persian or any other group begins such was the interconnection between these peoples and cultures and the times prior to the birth of Christ. But I'll be doing my best unravels story, a topic which will almost certainly require at least two videos within this larger

series. They called themselves the Scholetoy, and although they were just spread over much of the known world, they seemed to emerge into recorded history from the regions stretching from Azerbaijan to Ukraine around the Black Sea. I think it's fitting to begin, which is also why I think that the Kazarians might have been

the ones that they kicked out. I think that might be where this rivalry began in our description by calling them, because unlike the Scoletoy the Kazarian Jays, if you will, they were all about the marketplace, being the merchants and thieves that they were, And I think that's what the vision was there, not the vision the the schism, right, I'm basing that off of what I read about in the Oral Linda book about how the Frisians also viewed

that It also viewed magic, so I'm thinking there might be something there fiercely independent, not only refusing to be cowed by foreign nations and cultures, but also nurturing deeply held customs and traditions that ensured they remain free from materialistic desires and the lure of the marketplace. Calling to mind that now well known meets gen maxim quote, he who possesses little is possessed, that much less blessed

be a little poverty end quote. They would routinely bury their dead, especially royals, with several pounds of gold and precious metals and materials, and they're now famous Kurgan moungraves of which over one hundred thousand still exist in Ukraine alone, that reached up to seventy feet high, using means and methods and funerary

rites deeply reminiscent of those practiced in ancient Samaria and Egypt. They were masters of the horse and wheel, allowing for great speed and mobility, and the flexibility to move anywhere at any moment, and faster than any of their peers. Their skillful breeding of horses and cattle is the reason for the size,

stature, and variety of type we enjoy today. A lot of these details should be you should recognize them from when Ammon was discussing the Scythians in the videos that we were watching, and their mastery of riding and archery technique caused them to be virtually unassailable by even the largest empires and armies of their day, routinely making fools of kings and pharaohs that chose to try their luck. Ancient Persian aaryan custom of all youth learning three things to ride, shoot straight,

and always speak the truth, sprung from their cultural route. The chivalric and aristocratic knightly tradition in Europe, in which powerful nobles so often preferred cavalry service, is also almost certainly an outgrowth of Scythian customers. They could move their homes with them on wagons and seemed undaunted by even the most difficult terrain. This mobility was used to masterful effect against several much larger armies sent to

destroy them. They'd lead the enemy deep into their territory while implementing a scorched earth policy behind them, causing impossible strain on their supply lines, threatening starvation and encirclement, choosing to fight only when the odds were strongly in their favor. Pioneers of the recurved bow, and its mounted usage would later be copied

by both Mongol and hun. Darius himself employed Scythians, no doubt extremely well paid, in the most important and central place in his force as he waged war with Alexander the Great, who was so impressed with their performance he immediately sought an alliance with the Scythians. After the dust settled, Alexander made the peace, but was to make the same mistake so many others would later make

with the Germans, Goths and Vikings. He failed to realize that this was not a unified empire he was dealing with, but something more akin to feudal

chieftains. Making an alliance with one doesn't guarantee he doesn't have a brother or a cousin with just as large a force, and soon Alexander found himself staring down a large force of Scythians across the river to Nai, reportedly stating with defiance that he'd never dare lay a finger on men such as them, yet if he did, he'd soon discover the difference between Midlight themselves and Asiatic savages.

As I mentioned in the previous video, I think it's most helpful to picture the Indo European route as spreading out in seccess of waves, with these waves often conquering or establishing new nations, only to have newer and older waves

crash into one another. At the center of this ocean were those who Herodotus called the true Siths or the royal Ciths, their aristocracy residing at the heart of their territory, to which all other Scythians seemed to willingly serve, and which Herodotus refers to as the largest and bravest of the Scythian tribes, which look upon all of their tribes in the light of servants. These royal Ciths prohibited the enslavement of foreign peoples, and it said they were served only by

true born Siths of pure blood. There were also extremely rowdy elements, which one might think of as the bodyguard on the front lines. These warriors at the outskirts and borders especially, were known to drink unmixed wine with the rest of the world at the time, cutting it heavily with water, a habit that caused more than one Greek to go half mad when visiting and attempting to take up the head for themselves, including the famous story of the Spartan king

Cleomenes. I think there's more too, that's I think they were drugging the wine as well. They were well acquainted with several drugs, and in what was possibly a ceremonial ritual, used to set up a teepee like structure with a fire in the middle, on which they toss cannabis on the hot stones and imbibe the smoke. And this goes to that fumigation. I'm not sure which emin's I've shown you and which ones I watched on my other one,

but they didn't smoke things, but they fumigated. So they had put up a tent, build the fire, and then they would fumigate hot box. Basically so, they seem to place the highest values on nobility and justice, and were spoken of with praise by all who dealt or warred with them.

These were not soft men. Again. Much like the later Goths and Germanic peoples, war seemed to be viewed as almost a religious sacrament of sorts, not merely a source of pain and suffering and sadness, but rather something approaching a spiritual experience and a chance to test one another's metal, to earn glory through the display of great courage and heroic deeds, a chance to flex both

mental and physical muscle in the highest stakes contest known to man. There's a fascinating story about the Scythians being pushed by one brother people from the east, the Massagatai, into another brother people to the west, the Samarians, and

being forced to attack the latter to avoid the former. The royal element among the Samarians, who again were essentially Scythians, now known by a different name, refused to leave the graves of their fathers and fleet, and chose instead to divide into two camps and fight one another to the last man as a final hurrah. And when the Scythians arrived, they took possession of an empty

land. It's said that some outer tribes had the custom of drinking the blood of the first man they killed as a right of passage, and would keep trophies as reminders of their victories. It's said that the heads of all slain foes in major battles would be brought to the king to obtain their just share

of the winnings. They'd often make drinking cups out of the skulls imagine a soccer ball bag full of heads of their especially respected foes, which they would bring out for important gatherings and major events, and discuss the events behind the

obtainment of these grizzly souvenirs as they dined. Herodotus tells us that once per year, the governor of each district would mix a large bowl of wine, perhaps in those famous cauldrons of the type we seemed to find across every ancient Indo European culture, and that only those who had killed a foe had the right to drink the account. Again, I don't think it was just mine that was in there. So their dominance during long stretches of time are almost

unbelievable. A passage from the works of Pompeius Tragas Reeds and I quote they thrice aspired to the supreme command in Asia, while they themselves remained always either unmolested or unconquered by any foreign power. Darius, king of the Persians, they forced to quit Cythia in disgraceful flight. They slew Cyrus with his whole army they cut off in like manner Zaparian. What they just said that about Cyrus might be another reason why there's a rivalry because remember Cyrus. That's the

esther story, right, the perim. If I'm not mistaken, they were having a free for all killing quote unquote gentiles. They like their Cyrus king right, if you know who I mean, If you know who I'm referring to. A general of Alexander the Great, with all his forces. Of the arms of the Romans, they have heard but have never felt them. They founded the Parthian and Bactrian powers. They are a nation hardy toils and

warfare. Their strength of body is extraordinary. They take possession of nothing of which they feared to lose, and covet when they are conquerors, nothing but glory. The first that proclaimed war against the Scythians was Cisastras, king of Egypt, previously sending messengers to announce conditions on which they might become as subjects.

That the Scythians, who were already apprized by their neighbors of the king's approach, made answer to the deputies that the prince of so rich a people had been foolish in commencing a war with a poor one, for war was more to be dreaded by himself at home, as the result of the contest was uncertain, the prizes of victory there were none, and the ill consequences of defeat were apparent, And that the Scythians therefore would not wait till he

came to them, since there was so much more to be desired in the hands of the enemy, but would proceed of their own accord to seek the spoil. Nor were their deeds slower than their words. And the king, hearing that they were advancing with such speed, took to flight, and, leaving behind him his army and all his military stores, returned in consternation to

his own kingdom. Now it's said that the Marshlands prevented the Scythians from invading Egypt in their retreat, from which they subdued Asia and made it tributary, imposing, however, only a moderate tribute, rather as a token of their

power over it than as a recompense for their victory. After spending fifteen years in the reduction of Asia, they were called home by the importunity of their wives, who sent them word that unless their husbands returned, they would seek issue from their neighbors and not suffer the race of the Scythians to fall of posterity through the fault of their women. Asia was tributary to them for fifteen hundred years and it was Ninus, king of Assyria that put a stop to

the payment of this tribute. And it's important to note here that Cisastras reigned in approximately nineteen hundred BC, so already we're seeing evidence in the Cithyans not only existing but dominating long before Wikipedia and conventional academia claimed they arrived on the

scene. In a story that well illustrates their insistence on honesty and direct dealing in the early friction between it would be completely in opposition to the Kazars and the people that are like them, right, I'm telling you, I think that these are the people who were favoring the marketplace that way you have been of that city and tribe initially were one of the because they're not unified people, right, So those who went off and did that may not have had

the been kicked out. Maybe it was the blessing to go do your own thing, but they definitely had friction. And I also think it's interesting that they talk about them, you know, despising gold and silver, yet they in Posse was you know, a tribute anyway, Obviously they still needed something right, So it's just something I pick up when I'm watching this. Persia and Cyrus, the Scythians faced one of their only significant defeats by what they

would come to see as a deceitful trap. A large army of Scythians, unaccustomed to wine, found an empty Persian camp, purposefully stopped with a drink,

and almost immediately got very drunk. The Persians attacked at the key moment, routing the Scythians and capturing and subsequently killing their general, Sparaga Pisces, the son of the queen Tamarses. She promptly led a force out to challenge Cyrus herself, and to quote Herodotus, the greater part of the army of the Persians was destroyed, and Cyrus himself fell after reigning nine and twenty years.

Search was made among the slain by order of the queen for the body of Cyrus, and when it was found, she took a skin, and, filling it full of human blood, she dipped the head of Cyrus in the gore, saying, as she thus insulted the corpse, I live and have conquered you. In fight, and yet by you I am ruined, for you took my son with guile. But thus I make good my threat

and give you your fill of blood. Of the many different accounts which are given for the death of Cyrus, this which I have followed, appears to me most worthy of credit. End can't even mess with the Scythian women. They will mess you up. And my favorite story illustrating their martial dominance and willingness to toy with foes, is the instance in which a large Persian army under Darius, sombrely organized in battle array, and awaiting a signal, began

to hear playful cries from the Scythian army. Darius is said to have asked what the clamor was, only to find out that they were passing the time by sportingly chasing a hare. He said to have stated, quote, these men have very slight regard for us, And I perceive now that Gobrias spoke rightly about Sythian gifts, Seeing then that now I myself too think that things are so we have need of good counsel in order that retreat homewards may safely

be made. It's said that Gobrias replied O King. Even by report, I was almost assured of the difficulty of dealing with these men, And when I came I learned it still more thoroughly, since I saw that they were mocking us. Now, therefore, my opinion is that as soon as night comes on, we kindle the campfires, as we are wont to do at other times also, and deceive with a false tale those of our men who are weakest to endure hardships, and tie up all the asses and get us

away. There's also the story of two Scythian youths of royal birth being driven from their country and founding a settlement near Cappadocia to engage in Viking like raids for many years with great success. Finally, several surrounding peoples banded together to set a massive ambush and cut them to pieces. Quote their wives. When they found that exile was added to the loss of their husbands, took arms themselves and maintained their position, repelling the attacks of their enemies at first,

and afterwards assailing them in return. They relinquished all thoughts of marrying with their neighbors, saying that it would be slavery, not matrimony. They also took revenge for their husbands that were killed in war by a great slaughter of their neighbors. There's an interesting anecdote that speaks of as Scythian skirmish with the mythical Amazons, who it seems were likely very real and ironically were likely the genetic kin of the sixth that may have come to be in a manner very much

like the situation just described. It was only after the battle, upon viewing the dead, that they realized their defeated foes were actually women. After some discussion, it was decided these Amazons were a worthy people, and thus the Scythians sought them out. Finding their location, they sent a contingent of men to set up camp near them, with orders to flee if attacked, drawing a bit closer with each passing day while signaling their peaceful intent. After some

time, a Scythian and Amazon finally met face to face. The two managed to clumsily communicate, and the two groups soon followed suit, and as each man paired off with a woman, a new tribe was born. And this is illustrative of a larger point mentioned previously, one that bears repeating, the Scythians left a trail of their genetics and culture across most of the known world. To this day, most historically literate peoples from a wide variety of nations

can trace themselves back to the Ciths. That means you and me, guys. In fact, recent finds seem to show their influence extended all the way into modern Korea with a so called Scylla roy burial mounds. Check this out. Now, what do we know about America? Right? This may be an indication of some seafaring that came over here. And it's also might link to the guy whose actual name was Inca, who is a Frisian who parted that they talk about New Orleansic book and they don't know where he went,

but he went this direction. This is a mound building, you know, it's graves, mound burials. That was Scythian in nature. Maybe other cultures did it. But I'm just saying, to find large bones in America an awful lot and these mounds, I think there's something here. Just saying I think there's big indication that the Scythians were here a long time ago. In

Guangzhou closely resembling those of the Siths, and containing remarkably similar goods. In the previous video, we spoke of India and the Sakia tribe from which Buddha was born into the warrior caste. Interestingly, the Jats in western India, favored by the colonizing Brits as a martial race, claimed descent from this tribe.

The Persian Empire, as well as the Median, Bactrian and Parthian were essentially direct outgrowths of the Scythians. What I find even more interesting is the wealth of connections to the Spartans with regards to appearance, customs, traditions, culture and mindset. And I've included a link in the description to an impressive article discussing a topic. Though slavery was prohibited among the royal Scythians, it was practiced in many of the surrounding tribes using a structure similar to that of

the Spartans and their helots. Both were well respected, intelligent, but abhorring pretentiousness, disciplined. You know, they might be really the Spartans. But remember the Spartans had battle buddies. That movie three hundred, the three hundred, that was one hundred and fifty in and their boyfriends. Let's let's let's get this straight here. It's a little bit of weird culture unrivaled on the battlefield. Both seem to honor simplicity and the shunning of wealth and the marketplace

as a virtue. They also seem to share origin stories, among so many other things. It's a virtual certainty that these two people's were genetic Kim. It's a depressing fact that the great majority of their magnificent art has no doubt been lost forever due to the activities of grave robbers who not only steal the gold artworks but often melt them down, activities which continue to some extent this

very day. In fact, if it wasn't for the Russians are Peter the Great's decree of seventeen eighteen, which ordered the collection of these antiquities and established brutal punishments for thieves, we'd be left with virtually no traces of their existence. And Peter the Great may have been the sendant of them, because the roofs were comprised of these Scythians. But actually, I think even if he was Germanic in nature, which I think it was, that may still make

him Ascythian, So what did they look like? Modern historians seem intent on portraying them as an Indo European and Mongoloid mixture, though none of the hard evidence seems to point in this direction, especially the further back one moves through time, and this seems to be the all too common air brought about by associating them with the peoples existing today in the regions they roamed so long ago.

Thankfully, we've been left with several firsthand descriptions and a wealth of art created by themselves and surrounding nations depicting their style of hair dress and their facial features. To go over a few of these descriptions, Herodotus described the Budini of Scythia as red hair and gray eyed. Hippocrates speaks of their ruddy skin. Arismappes of their fair hair. A second century BC envoy from China named Zhang Quam speaks of their blue eyes, as does Plenty the Elder and the

Greek philosopher Pullman. The fourth century historian Marcinellis speaks of the Allens direct kin

to the Scythians as being tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes. It seems much of the mongoloid admixture probably happened over time across every nation, in which those tribes that didn't move west ended up putting down their roots as not a single And that was something that the Frisians did warn about, is that mixing because of the loss of culture and because they would introduce barren ideas into their mix that would be conflicting with what they held sake. Ingle ancient description

describes them with physical features that might be deemed asiatic. Historian Tamara Rice states quote. In fact, until sometime in the fifth or fourth century BC, the predominant inhabitants of even western Siberia were a fair haired people of European origin, and it was after that date that an influx of mongoloids resulted in a very mixed type of population. And what became of those that moved west. I believe we know these as the Yamnaya people that moved into Europe in waves

starting around two thousand BC. That people most closely resembling the Scythian culture and

way of life would undoubtedly be the Goths. Many historians prior to World War II had such trouble drawing dividing lines between the Germanic and Celtic and Scythian peoples that they considered distinctions to be arbitrary, and Sharon Turner in the History of the Anglo Saxons states the Anglo Saxons, Lowland, Scotch Normans, Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, Lombards and Franks have all sprung from that great fountain of the human race, which we have distinguished by

the terms Scythian, German or Gothic. Genetic research seems to bear this out clearly, with the boundaries of the r one A Hapler group matching the vast expanse of their movement over time. Culture and custom seems to bear this out, with the Germanic peoples sharing so much of their historical character and traditions with

Thecythians. The similarity in the burial mounds of the Swedish kings in Uppsala with those of the Scythian royalty is striking, and the specific type of R one A genetic signatures found in Norway and Sweden clearly resemble those existing throughout the trail of the Scythians, extending into the Altai region where many Siths settled down and let and it wouldn't be uncommon for the Native Americans, if you want to call them native migrants as well, but for them to take on the practice

of that which they saw around them. And we talked. He talked about these people kind of being the first to come out after the deluge to establish society or community or whatever. They don't want us to know anything about that. Everything starts in Samaria, right, This predates that for the most part,

and maybe even can be what comprised Samaria. But also it's kind of interesting that, you know, so there could be a mixture of Native American in there as well, but a lot of the folk tales in the Native American culture have to do with large men who are pale skinned, another indication we'll sometimes call them all that was the Vikings, But what was it?

More specifically, was it the Scythians left their lasting genetic mark? The human genetic data is even supported by a comparison of the genetics of the Norwegian fjord horse and the Mongolian horse, and the data suggests that the migrants to Scandinavia brought within their prized horses, which became the root stock of the Norwegian e

coins of today. There is also a strong connection to the Polish royal houses, and it's theorized that the famed and feared Polish cavalry Hussars were an outgrowth of the Scythian route. The Scottish clans such as the mcdougalls, MacDonald's and mcallisters also share the same unique genetic markers, and in the Scottish document the

Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish traced their roots clearly back to Scythia. I spoke earlier of the royal Scythians being known as the true or authentic Scythians. I found an interesting parallel here with the Germanic peoples, who in Latin were known as Germani, which is the plural of the adjective Germanus, which can mean seed and was often used to mean authentic or genuine. To the Romans, they were known as the authentic Celts and Ninius in his account of germ

Seed, Yeah, we can understand that route right. The rival of Hingist and Horsa in Thanet states that messengers were sent to Scythia for reinforcements. The context shows that these in fact came from North Germany, so evidently the name of the genuine Scythians persisted long in Northern Europe. Burials found near Brandenburg dating

to the sixth century BC are yet another clear testament to their presence. The skulls discovered in the Royal Scythian Tombs near Savon, Armenia, which likely date back to between nine hundred and five hundred BC, show dlacocephalic type best matching the modern Nordic type, and there seems to be a great number of parallels with the Scythians and Vikings in particular across the board. Both had a long history of extracting wealth from neighbors, but rarely wishing to stay and rule.

Sear says magyars in the purple right here, that's how it's spelled. It's like magy in the Frisian account in the Orlando Book of those who present, you know, practice magic that they spell it with why but again as a translation, so maybe it was just a translator's prerogative, and seemed to prize simplicity, courage, honor, and considered combat to have something akin to a spiritual significance. Both were fiercely independent, often stubborn and prideful, both equally

shunned domesticated life and all of its trappings. It's noted in the Icelandic Sagas that men from Asia became the aristocrats of Sweden and Norma, and this can only be a reference to the Scythians and related tribes who were later to push back eastward as the Rous, leaving behind a ruling cap see versus Keevin Russ

right there in the middle. This is that potential Kazari and Taie here, But also they were the let's call them a germ, the seed of the Russian people as well, good people asked, and the title of the nation we know as Russia today. In my research, multiple sources speak of material goods with a Scythian stamp appearing with a greater frequency as the Viking era approaches.

So, even having said all of this, we've just scratched the surface here, and I've only been able to bribe some of the meat of the overall story. In a future video, we'll be covering the Goths and Germanic peoples specifically, and in another I hope to deal with the history of these

enigmatic people prior to approximately one thousand to fifteen hundred BC. Many of you may know there's still an elephant in the room to be dealt with related to this topic, and I'm looking forward to dealing with it to the best of my ability, And selfishly, I wanted to close with some subjective editorializing. I've come to respect these people their culture and worldview and manner of being,

and I think we have much to learn from them. Time and time again, they had opportunities to conquer and settle in large urban centers and embrace the ease of life and conveniences these provide, situated as they were centrally located between the east and the west, much like the Kusars would do in the same

region. Later, they could have devoted themselves to becoming merchants, growing again another indication that some of them may have sput off as the Kazars, fat and happy, potentially from the process of buying and selling between empires, dealing

both goods and human beings. They seem to very consciously and purposefully reject this path, and time and time again speak as if they recognize the threats of orienting their lives towards the materialistic marketplace and the softness and dependence and domestication that

inevitably follows. These are ideas that seem to remain in the Western bloodstream for many, many generations to come, an immune system that caused most populations to view real labor with pride not shame, and cause the aristocracy to look with great suspicion on the merchants that begin to rival their power intermarry, so that shows again the parasite versus the independent who goes and seeks and gathers and takes in works, versus somebody who gets other people, convinces them and tricks them

into working for them with their fis or enslaves them, straight out families, and slowly but surely changed the face of their nations. Currently, we orient virtually all of our intellectual energy and efforts towards the marketplace, towards the creation and marketing and buying and selling of goods and services, the majority of which don't seem to be causing an increase in true happiness or fulfillment, and a

key view of which seem to be definitively having the opposite effect. On a nass scale, The Scythians managed to produce great minds pioneering inventions, explores the likes of which will probably never know the full exploits of, and might be hard pressed to believe even if he did. And a class of strong and robust and self sufficient men who seem to have been liked and feared and respected by all that they encountered. I wonder if that's Roalda up there, or

if it's Oordin, But it could be Rollda. He's got both eyes.

And they did so while embracing nature, both within and without. I often wonder what they think of our concrete jungles are sequestering ourselves in cubicles for the lion's share of our days, in service to a corporate entity in whom we have no stake, and CEOs and shareholders who we have no personal connection to, and our rush to toss everything that served us so well by the wayside, to adopt every form of newness and novelty without regard to its longer term

ramifications on mind, body, and soul. Though the modern world equates labor and hard work with strife and equates the minimization of these things with happiness, I have to disagree. Work is psychologically gratifying in so far as we can

clearly grasp its purpose and utility. And in this respect, it strikes me that few things could be as deeply gratifying as providing complete self sufficiency for self and family and tribe, thereby bowing the head and bending the knee to no government, no nation, no foreign individual or corporate construct, least of all those seeking to live parasitically by directly or indirectly imposing servitude on others. You

said it. We may no longer live in a world of frequent physical conflict, at least not at the moment, and certainly not with bows and arrows and swords and axes. But characteristics like courage are almost equally valuable across all eras, all environments and situational contexts, as our genuineness and trustworthiness, and the discipline to avoid covetousness and petty materialistic pursuits. I can't help but feel that, relative to our ancestors, we've largely forgotten how to be men.

The proxies of drinking beer and watching football have been substituted for our sense of personal responsibility, our highest responsibilities to family, extended family, to culture and nation, and to the creator we've been coaxed into trading true independence and self sufficiency for a servile consumerism. This as dependence begets subservience and finality, suffocates the germ of virtue and prepares fit tools for the design of ambition Thomas Jefferson.

Instead of our foremost goal being to deeply understand our world and all of its machinations in order that we might meaningfully improve it and ourselves, we've been convinced to outsource this process of understanding to men who call themselves experts and intellectuals, while we devote the majority of our time and attention to seeking some purely financial edge over our fillow men. Worship of the dollar and epigy makes for small men or just survival doesn't have to be for person you have, you

know, competition. But we are in a system that right now they don't take your they don't take anything else for your rent besides money, you know. So I mean it kind of forces you into this position to where you have to acquire earn or some other way, you know, obtain something to feed that beast that keeps God getting hungry every month, turns them into tools of powers they don't understand and in many cases don't even care to understand there

are much higher and worthier things in this life. The goal of those who currently call the tune is to level every mountain, to cultivate fully dependent and controllable and domesticated men with three Abrahamic religions. To do it with units and cogs, not individuals. The Scythian would have been their worst nightmare with an unconquerable spirit and a studiously developed worldview, and that's why they attacked Germanic people.

And that's why they attacked the Russians, making him eternally immune to this siren song. Modern man, on the other hand, has been shaped into their dream come true. Perhaps it's time we stopped playing another tribe's game, another tribes game. Nice, but I just wanted to read this. This is from man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values.

God made life simple. It is man who complicates it, and that's lind BERDYCHUCKI and started channeling our Innercythian. Yes, let's start channeling our Innercythian before we don't have an opportunity to get out of this mess. Please. That's the end of the first one. Nice, short video there, pretty decent. Okay, So before we go any further, there's a couple of things I need to show you. I found rare footage. I found very rare

footage of bush Master in his crew. Well basically he's bush Master in his tank. Hold on, hold on here it is. It's a little hot in these rhinos girls. Why why the mother rhino was giving first this it? She didn't it have had money? All right, it's just teasing, b I'm sure that's how I felt though. Uh yeah, well it was three minutes long, dude. We weren't going to go through the whole thing Vegas. The clip was a little long. I wasn't chopped up into smaller

so I had to go somewhere in the middle, all right. And one other thing, it might be hard to listen to the guys, uh what do you call it? His his uh delivery? Some might find it difficult, but it's it's happening anyway. Miss Rosenhal. Rosenthal was a senior aide Senator Jacob k. Javitz. Rosenhaul was murdered in a terrorist attack in Istanbul, Turkey. He says the same thing, murdered, but he was really assassin. Isn't that the same goddamn thing they say murdered? But really this

man was assassinated for exposing too many secrets. In nineteen seventy six, he wrote a book called The Hidden Tearing. This man was an Ashkenazi Jew and he was telling it all. He writes in this book, and I quote, at first, by controlling the banking system, we were able to control corporational capitals. Through this, we acquired total monopoly of the movie industry, the radio networks, and the newly developed television media. The printing industry,

newspapers, periodicals, and technical journals had already fallen into our hands. He's talking about the Jewish control of all these things. He goes on to write. The richest plumb was later to come when we took over the publication of all school materials. Through these vehicles, he writes, we could mold public up opinion to suit our own purposes. Damn old brothers and sisters. But it gets deeper. He starts talking about religion. Here's the point here,

the bigger point chosenhaul rights. We are amazed by the Christian's stupidity in receiving our teachings and propagating them as their own. As a result, Christians doesn't have God's word on a certain matters, they have the Jew's word yard the Jews worder. Judaism is not only the teaching of the Synagogue, but also the doctrine of every Christian church in America. Through our propaganda, he writes,

the church has become our most avid supporter. This has even given us a special place in society by them believing the lie that we are the chosen people and they are the gentile. There you go, there, I have it. It's more receipts for what I've been saying. That's all. Let me see next one is this all right? Okay? Now, this one's called Hellenic Greece, Troy and the Real Game of Thrones. Hellenic Greece represents a high point of human history, and specifically a high point in the Western

tradition. Their sculpture and artwork seemed divinely inspired. Their poets and thinkers and writers are to this very day among the best the world has ever produced. Up until fairly recently, all of Europe felt a living connection to this past. That strongest of genetic and cultural bonds that causes such profound feeling of resonance on viewing the masterful creations in stone and Marble, or reading the profound,

thoughtful works of Plato or Heraclitis, or those lofty words of Homer. The German philosopher Hegel went so far as to state, at the name of Greece, the cultivated German finds himself at home. All that makes life satisfying and elevates and adorns it we derive directly or indirectly from Greece. Voltaire once paid the highest compliment to the famous court of Frederick the Great by proclaiming it was

Sparta in the morning Athens in the afternoon. An author Madison Grant compared to Sparta and Athens relationship of martial discipline and artistic mastery to Prussia and France, and considered this combination to be the ideal. Hellenic Greece was almost universally acknowledged as a breath of fresh air, a flowering of mind, body and soul, and exceptional people who cultivated for themselves an exceptional existence which inevitably produced exceptional

art, heroes and ideals. Ancient Troy one of the most intriguing mysteries in the historical record, and one that captivated the hearts and minds of the Western world for centuries. The events that took place in this region over the span of just over ten years shook the world and would leave a lasting imprint on

the Western Psyche, stretching up to this very day. They inspired one of the first transcendent works of heroic literature, and Homer's Iliad, a creation that stands to this very day as one of the greatest works ever pinned, as well as one of the most quintessentially Western or Rian. The very first book printed in English was another account of this pivotal event, firing the imaginations of entire generations, as it remained the most popular book throughout much of Europe per

centuries. Many of the greatest works of art were directly inspired by the Paul of Troy. The lineage of the royal houses of Europe traced back to the figures involved, and the historical figures such as Alexander, the Great, Xerxes and the earliest emperors of Rome all paid personal homage to the site and its heroes. Both Rome and Britain were alleged to have been founded by aristocratic ancestral lines fleeing Troy after its complete decimation at the hands of their brother Greeks,

who were another offshoot of this singular bloodline. M En shows this exact picture often, but it's not this stenciled version. It's the one that he flashes that's painted This period of history, this region, and the events contained within both represents something akin to a very real game of thrones, one that needs no hype or exaggeration to be one of the most important stories ever told. And yet within a few hundred years, our understanding of all things Troy changed

completely. Homer's account of the events was called into question, and then the validity of Homer himself as a historical personality was challenged. The root historical sources he drew from, long believed to be passed down from men directly involved in

the events, were suddenly labeled frauds. Our understanding of the conflict itself became muddied and confused, with some suddenly questioning if it occurred at all, and finally proclaiming that Troy itself probably didn't exist, but was rather some fanciful invention. The slowly raised of history and elimination of any positive strong examples of societies, flash forward to the present day, and Troy is a mere footnote of history, poorly understood, if at all, by most modern students, and

mentioned in passing and often derisively or dismissively by modern professors. The last major production on the theme was the BBC and Netflix production Troy Fall of a City, in which the most renowned warrior of them all, Achilles, universally described in historical accounts with blonde hair and fair skin, is played by a man whose ancestors hailed from Ghana. An acceptable change, says The New Yorker, because they consider Achilles to be fake anyway, so quote imaginative license in casting

seems perfectly acceptable. End quote. If you search Wikipedia to bet understand who the Trojan people were, you'll find nothing, literally no entrgue. Google Dorian invasion from most regions, and this will be your first result. It's incredible, though we've lost all in depth understanding of our own roots and origins,

and subsequently our recognition of the importance of this understanding. It's been cleverly replaced with a substitution we can all experience, vicuriously created by teams of writers out of thin air. We no longer have any grounding in who or what we are or where we've come from. But we've managed to replace all of these pesky concerns with an invented fantasy reality, one which it's dude, looks like the composite of Saturn. Here with this Sep Skype been deemed safe to discuss

freely. I sincerely hope everyone listening to these words will give some thought to just how dangerous this is, how devastating the ramifications of tossing out such a wealth of valuable historical context, all of the great tales and myths and legends of our ancestors. These events and the stories that grew up around them are informative and shaping, meant to be guiding and teaching tools and sources of inspiration

and energy and life force. The generations who paved the way for us hoped that their sacrifices might be remembered, and that their lives and the manner in which they lived them might be recounted, not for petty reasons of ego, but as examples of right thinking, right living, right being, and ideals

to strive to equal. We now live in some twilight zone reality in which we allow a handful of men in Hollywood and New York to completely reinvent our past, to shape our present and thereby orient our course for the future, severing our roots and replace them with artificial concoctions springing from minds that, for the most part, aren't exactly students or admirers of Western culture. I don't mean to pass judgment on those deeply invested in shows like Game of Thrones.

They're technically well made productions, and the massive interest so many feel for them comes from a good place. We're desperate for some real connection to and understanding of our past and the archetypal essence behind it all. A starving individual isn't going to hold out for a healthy and natural, well rounded meal. He's going to latch upon anything edible that's nearby and make the best of his lot.

I'm simply arguing that an exceptional feast lies just out of reach, and we're contenting ourselves with some cheap soda and heavily processed cheese from a can so diamedes. Here, that's the picture on the left in the thumbnail. It's

not that picture, but it's a picture of diet. It's a statue of Diamedes, and then on the right hand side it's Heraduus in case anybody was wondering about the thumbnail, albeit attractively packaged, to anyone that might claim that events like the Fall of Troy and so many others throughout the very real historical record aren't at least the equal of anything being churned out by the wizard behind the curtain of popular culture today, I'd argue that perhaps you haven't read them

with open eyes, and you probably haven't read them in the original ancient Greek either, which means you probably are not really reading them at all. I mean, you know what I mean. But for what we've learned about the septuagen and what it says, there's a lot lost in translation, probably no

comparison. These are objectively great tales, overflowing with pathos and energy and spirit and depth, whereas so much in our age has become a copy of a copy of a copy, exaggerated for effect, and thereby simultaneously caricatured and cheapened. Slowly, but surely we're awakening to the power of truths at the core of our history, and someday soon I hope these healthier and more powerful tales might be brought back to life and embraced once again. One other very important

point before we begin. The historical record has become less interesting, less inspired, and infused with natural energy, in large part because in our age academics choose to view it through an artificial framework of their own subjective design. The ancients didn't see the world in terms of foreign national boundaries drawn on a map.

This was a world structured according to kinship and ancestral lines. Terms like hellenic or royal Scythian were as much racial designations as anything, and one couldn't become either of these merely by moving into the geographical area. It's no coincidence

that so many ancient texts are filled with detailed accounts of lineage. It's recently become the fashion within modern academia here, as in so many other respects, to paint our ancestors as inveterate liars creating detailed family trees solely for nefarious purposes of basking and undeserved glory, whereas the usual suspects don't even realize that children are not for eating. I feel these accusations of petty motives are a case

of projection. I find it strange that we now mistrust and dismiss so many ancient historical accounts as a default academic position. If we didn't have so much documented footage in this age of technology, it'd be easy to imagine a future in which some bespectacled intellectual would pronounce in supremely confident tones that, of course, there was no former TV star as president of the United States. You see, people like to feel as if they live in exciting times, so

they'll often make up stories. This sagely, of course, as most viewers nodded in bobine agreement. And then he'd proceed to doubt whether a Donald Trump even existed as a person at all, with perhaps a condescending laugh directed at those who believed otherwise, and then go on to create several elaborate reasons as

to why he probably didn't exist. And this is just one of the many reasons I encourage everyone to seek out root historical sources and beware the derivatives and speculation of academics who merely create their own subjective interpretations of these root sources, and all too often do so according to modern prejudices and politically correct cultural winds. Once upon a time there was a significant overlap between our heroes and our

guards. The great Greek thinkers and poets were usually courageous men of well rounded and multifaceted education, who more often than not fought in the battles of their age. Times have changed, unfortunately, in this age of self professed experts. And for the record, there's that fig expert thing coming up again.

I certainly don't claim the title of expert myself. I'm merely someone who's worked hard to build a context picture that makes sense, someone that seeks only to make corrections to the prevailing narrative in those cases where the truth of the matter seems to have been egregiously violated or overstepped, so to set the stage. I believe that, of course Troy existed, and that we almost certainly know its location. I believe the battle Homer references, as well as the eventual

fall of Troy both came to pass. I've even come to believe strongly that the individuals mentioned in the tale, from Achilles to mid Laos to Prian to Adammnon also existed, and if their exploits have been exaggerated by some throughout the years, This is hardly grounds for their dis missile, as veneration isn't the same as fabrication, be you know, elaborating on something that isn't the same

thing as it being a myth, living and breathing human beings. In short, it's my opinion that the only things up for serious debate are the details. Was there an actual trojan horse, was Hellen forcibly kidnapped? Or was there some willingness which individuals bear the blame for the hostilities and so forth?

Though I feel that these answers matter far less than the broader picture. I believe the Hellenic Greek element they waged such a brutal and prolonged war against Troy, one which likely took place around twelve hundred BC and over the span of ten years and raged all along the western coast of Anatolia, with Troy as its central flashpoint, was a battle between men of very similar stock, language,

and culture. While it's likely those a Troy spoke a dialect we now call Louian, there's no evidence of any need for translators of any sort when those from Greece and Troy visited one another's courts, and there seems to have been several intermarriages and close familial relationships between the two, to the extent that many were torn throughout the course of the war as to which side disport.

They also had several share heroes, customs, and traditions. To cite what purports to be a first hand account by dictys of crete quote, Trojan princes and Trojan allies. It is a sad thing for us to be at war with the Greeks. Can you imagine there's so much of this, these artifacts that scumbag merchants and thieves and no regard for the historical value or the artistry, and would melt it down to make a stupid bullion as stupid squares they

could, they could, you know, squirrel it away somewhere. So many of those artifacts they were talking about the Anthiens being varied with pounds and pounds of gold, all taken, all taken and melted down. But an even sadder and more painful thing that for the sake of a woman, we have made enemies of the closest friends of those who, being descendants of Pelops, are joined to us even by ties of marriage end quote. However, we

should stop for a moment here to clarify terms and descriptors. Greek is a lazy umbrella term here. In reality, there were several fairly distinct peoples mixing in this region. Kretschmer argues that there were three major waves of movements in Greece, beginning with the proto Ionian element in about two thousand BC, perhaps better referred to as Pelasgian, followed by there it is Pelasgian, a proto Achaean element around sixteen hundred BC, and finally a Dorian element around twelve hundred

BC. Herodotus seems to agree here and saying, quote, the chief peoples were the Lacedaemonians among those of Doric stock, and the Athenians among those of Ionic stock. These races Ionian and Dorian were the foremost in ancient time, the first a Pelasgian and the second a Hellenic people. The Pelasgian race has never yet left its home. The Hellenic race has wandered often and far end quote. Much like I'd mentioned in earlier videos, these waves seem to be

migrations of what was likely once a singular racial stock. Having said this, there do seem to be some noteworthy differences the more indigenous Pelasgian and Ionian stock seem to have been a bit more quiet and peaceful, a bit more attached to the land, perhaps a bit shorter in stature, and more similar in physical appearance to those dark haired Pinoans and Myceneans pictured on so many walls and

frescoes in the region of the Achaeans. Historian J. Bagnellbury states quote it is uncertain at what time the Achaeans made their first appearance in the Greek peninsula. They were a people of blonde complexion of Indo European speech, who came down from the regions of the Danube and made conquests in Thessaly and the plain of Sperchios. In the course of time, some of their chieftains won lordship over the Peloponnesus in Argolis and Laconia, probably by marriages with the daughters of

the old Greek dynasties. It is not probable that the Achaean invaders came in great numbers. They formed a small ruling class who were soon assimilated its speech and manners to their Greek subjects. They did not work destruction. They won lordship and leadership, and their adventurous spirit guide agrees to reread enterprises. End

quote. There's an intriguing reference to an encounter on the battlefield of the champions Glaucus and Diomedes, who end up thrusting their spears into the ground, embracing one another as brothers and exchanging armour as they recall their ancestral ties. How are you seeing that helmet on the lad left here? Say that right there looks familiar? Right, They kind of look more like dragon heads than they do snakes. But they may have like a spike scale in their back,

but that looks an awful out like the medical symbol does not. The dueling snakes the dote in the antidote both are mentioned as being amongst the greatest of the Achaean warriors. Yet one seems to represent the Achaian continental Greek royal house and the other the Akean royal house in Asia Minor. This anecdote, like so many others, seems to And they're standing on the tail, which shows dominance over it, right I think, and holding it by the neck or

whatever. I think that's an indication of they have mastered the control of the snake or the dragon or whatever. That is illustrate two things firstly the close ancestral connection between the rulership of Greece and Troy. Secondly that in akean royal line the region of the day the final major wave that formed the composite we've come to know as Hellenic Greece. The Dorians entered the scene more like rampaging

lions. Historians and scholars have long remarked on their seemingly extreme focus on the martial and militaristic, and I tend to think there's a relatively clear cut explanation for the extremity of this trait. There's an intriguing passage in Plato's Laws in which he speaks of the birth of the Dorians as a subset of the Achaeans. Quote now, during this period of ten years, while the siege lasted, the affairs of each of the besiegers at home suffered much owing to the

seditious conduct of the young men. For when the soldiers returned to their own cities and homes, these young people did not receive them fittingly and justly, but in such a way that there ensued a vast number of cases of death, slaughter, and exile. So they being again driven out migrated by sea, and because Dorius was the man who banded together the exiles, they got

the new name of Dorians instead of Achaeans. But as to all the events that follow this, you Lacedaemonians, relate them all fully in your traditions end quote. In other words, it seems the Dorians came to be a self selected subset of those most courageous Greeks that sail off to fight in Troy.

So not only were they innately something of a military caste, but now we add to this their anger at being expelled from their own homes, and we have a recipe for the future martial mindset of the Spartans, who would reach the peak of their power and control some six hundred or so years later. And with regards to the Dorians, we have another extremely intriguing citation from Herodotus,

who was likely a Dorian descent himself. In tracing their lineage, he follows the ancestral line of descent up to Perseus and then says, quote, if we follow the line of Denod, daughter of Acrisius, and Trey her progenitors, we shall find that the chiefs of the Dorians are really genuine Egyptians, and the genealogies here given. I have followed the common Greek accounts end

quote, and then he proceeds to add the mysterious quote. Enough, however, of this subject, how it came to pass that Egyptians obtained the kingdoms of the Dorians, and what they did to raise themselves to such a position. These are questions concerning which, as they have been well treated by others, I shall say nothing. I proceed to speak on points which no other

writer has touched. End quote. This seems to indicate that other authors of his time, whose writings have somehow been lost to posterity, covered this topic in depth. But maybe we'll find some in the Herculean Library that there are

uncovering. At the moment, when we recall the fact that so many of the most ancient pharaohs that we have yet to on Earth have been found with fair hair intact, and that the genetic testing of Tute in Common showed a direct conne to northwestern Europeans, yet virtually no connection to modern day Egyptians, and when we further consider the wealth of findes in Sumeria and surrounding territories depicting their leaders and gods with blue eyes and Sargon the Great's comments about ruling over

a black headed people, the idea of an Indo European element with fair features existing in the region is more than a possibility, but rather seems in obvious

factual reality. The ancestral and cultural connections between the Persians, Scythians, Greeks and others to places like ancient sumer and Egypt seems far stronger than modern academics seem willing to credit, all the way back to the dawn of recorded history and beyond, and even Helen herself, after being taken by Priam prior to the Trojan War, seems to have spent her years in Egypt during hostilities.

And of course, we have a Thebes in Greece, which Homer seemed to consider of the greatst antiquity, and a Thebes in Egypt, something which many academics attempt to this day to pass off as pure coincidence. And with regard to the racial character of Hellenic Greece and Troy, thankfully we have several accounts, the best of which exist in the masterful artistic products of their own hands,

including sculpture that remains to this day among the greatest ever produced. The fifth century poet Pindar, hailing from Greek Thebes, referred to the Greeks as the fair haired Danoi, and fragments from a one hundred and fifty BC travelogue describe the women of Thebes in particular as quote the tallest, prettiest, and most graceful in all of hellas their yellow hair is tied up in a knot

on the top of their head end quote. The Spartan Alkman was one of the first ancient voices who praised the athletic Spartan females, specifically mentioning their golden hair and silver or light gray eyes. Even as late as the fourth century AD, Adamantius, an Alexandrine physician and scientist, wrote in his Physiognominica, that of all the nations, the Greeks have the fairest eyes, adding that wherever the Hellenic Anionic race has been kept pure, we see tall men of

fairly broad and straight build, of fairly light skin and blonde. And of course, the list of gods and goddesses and heroes with similar features is far

too large to cover here. But what I find even more interesting is the physical accounts written down in the first hand account of the events of Troy, authored by Mondarius of Phrygia, of those more mysterious citizens of Troy itself, I find his writing style fascinating, and then he chooses to give a brief physical and psychological description of nearly every major figure involved, a document now completely out of print, which should surprise no one that I've linked below this video

along with the other purported first hand account of Troy. Nearly all of the figures are described as having either fair skin, eyes, or hair, with a large percentage of these two being blonde, such as Agamemnon, who was described as quote blonde, large and powerful. He was eloquent, wise and noble end quote. And to give one particularly amusing example, Polyxina was fair,

tall and beautiful. Her neck was slender, her eyes lovely, her hair blonde and long, her body well proportioned, her fingers tapering, her legs straight, and her feet the best, surpassing all others in beauty. She remained a completely ingenuous and kind hearted woman. The second account of Troy, which claims to be first hand, is called the Dictys Cretensis, authored

by Dictys of Crete. Like so many other ancient sources, both documents were accepted as pieces of the historical record up until fairly recent times, during which academics have led the charge to label both as frauds or inventions, a stance I can't help be extremely skeptical of. It's thought both may have been used by Homer in crafting his account, along with other sources we no longer have

access to. But what's additionally fascinating is that each represents an account from an opposite side of the battle, and in reading both, it's easy to see how each side might have blamed one another, and how an event that Herodutus claims was sparked by a misunderstanding might have snowballed into one of the most monumental and impactful wars in Western history between two equally stubborn and prideful and powerful clothes.

It's unfortunate that Dairi's account is so short, so little has come down to us about the nature of Troy and her people, and no doubt, much like the Burning of Alexandria, the complete destruction of Troy likely meant that many written records or the bards and storytellers that might write them, were lost forever. On this topic, there's a curious mystery that to this day remains unsolved involving what we today call Troy towns, which usually manifest as turf cut

mazes, though are sometimes created with stones. A popular theory was that these representations of the ancient labyrinth of crete, another that they represent the layout of Troy or the concentric circles of Atlantis as Plato described it, or both. There were once thousands of these scattered throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and hundreds still exist to this day, with the majority being found in Sweden. Yet incredibly,

they're even found in places like Egypt, India, and Peru. One of the more intriguing theories and Peru, and if your familiar with Brian Forster's work eels a lot of these, is that these symbols are tied to Arcane, the studiously ignored archaeological site on the Russian Steps with a layout so closely resembling that of Troy, deemed Swastika City due to the prevalence of Swastka's discovered in the area, also dubbed the Russian Stone Hinge and dating back at least

four thousand years, though recent evidence indicates five to six thousand years may be a better estimate, and its construction indicates that the builders imagine if David Bowie's song was Swastika City instead of Suffragette. Ah hey Man had advanced astronomical knowledge, and the site itself may have been something of an observatory one which was

mysteriously burned down and abandoned essentially overnight. Because this site exists in that vast area representing the stomping grounds of those ancient Arians who left almost no written records, are old friends the Scythians, it's important to speak about the likely connections here. There's a little bit of lack of continuity here they're showing Peru and elongated skulls after they were just talking about Russia, so it's kind of confusing

if you're not reading the screen. It's well known that there were extensive contacts, and that's actually a frame from a Brian Forrester Excavation or whatever or whatever is one of his books that shows it on the bottom, I said his

name. It's between the Scythians and Greeks, with royal Scythians intermarrying often with Greeks and Thracians and often providing elite military squadrons and bodyguard contingents to protect leadership, similar to the Praetorian Guard which would later make its appearance in Rome. The Achaeans and Dorians were said to have come from the region it must be hard to be a one handed bowhunter, and so the Danyard has quoted verb

sorry when armed by j bagmanbery. Earlier, the Scythians, occupying vast tracts of territory north of Greece, claimed Heracles also known as Hercules, as the progenitor of their race, and the Dorians pushed down into Greece has long been known as the return of the Heraclidae and was seen as the reclaiming of land that was rightfully theirs granted to them by their own progenitor, Heracles. Damn, he's got luskin on his God, just like I do love it.

Such was the strong connection between the Greeks and Scythians that the two peoples named the Calapida and the Alazonus on the border between Greece and Scythian lands were essentially a blend between the two. Achilles, widely hailed as the greatest of those

Greeks who fought at Troy may have been both Greek and Scythian himself. Byzantine historian Leo the Deacon, quoting the more ancient Greek historian Ariane of Nicomedia, outright says that Achilles was a Scythian who had been banished to Thessaly due to his hot temper. Alcaeus, the Greek poet of the sixth century BCA, referred to Achilles as the Lord of Pythia during the war with the Trojans. There are multiple offhand references in the Dictus Cretensis to Greek and Scythian cooperation,

especially between Achilles and the Scythian king. Arriving back with Achilles after he'd engaged in multiple coastal raids on troyad posts, the Scythian king quote, having learned that our men had arrived, came and brought many gifts. Much of the gold artwork of these two peoples was so similar that many Scythian pieces were long thought to be Greek in origin, and it's thought that the Scythian curved bow

was adopted by the Greeks. The Dorian and Scythian genealogies match astonishingly well each hearkening back to three brothers in which power was granted to the youngest, and speak of three social divisions, akin to a producer class, a priest class, and a warrior class. The Scythians were everywhere referred to by Greek writers as warriors who held all things in common aside from their sword and drinking cup,

and the Spartiates were spoken of as having similar customs. So it's interesting to compare this to the line from Plato's Critias, who, in discussing Atlantis and the origins of the Hellenic people, speaks of, quote, a superior class of warriors who dwelt apart and were educated and had all things in common like our guardians. And then later he goes on to state quote, and so they passed their lives as guardians of the citizens and leaders of the Hellenes.

They were a just and famous race, celebrated for their beauty and virtue all over Europe and Asia. Now, before we go further here, it's important to make clear that I'm not claiming the Greeks were Scythians any more than I'm claiming these Scythians were Greeks, but rather that these two labels conceal another labeling mechanism. It was likely more widely used and more comfortable to those in the ancient world. The Ancestral, the Hellenic and Scythian appear more like two

branches from a single route. It gets even more interesting. Herodotus mentions three nations or their royal houses, tracing back to Heracles, who again I can't help but believe was a very real person, even if many of the tales of his specific deeds might be inventions or exaggerations. These three nations are the Scythians, the Dorians, and the Lydians. Lydian was the name for those

occupying the region of Troy. And so once again we find a direct genetic tie that binds the major powers of the day, and finally to tie virtually

the whole of the ancient world together. We've already mentioned that the Buddha was almost certainly of Aryan stock of the Saka or Sakai people, but Ashoka as well, widely hailed as one of India's greatest rulers, a famed conqueror turned Buddhist peacemaker responsible for the Ashoka Chakra, which became the basis for the Indian flag and bears a striking resemblance to the royal symbol of Macedonia was of Greek

descent. The famous Ashoka Pillars, which show a connection to both Greek and Persian architecture, were among the most prominent targets of Muslim iconoclasm, with only a few remaining intact in the present day. The Persian ruling elite, the Acameninids, note the linguistic similarity here to the Achaean marked their descent from Achimenes,

son of Perseus, half brother of Heracles. Ancient Persia was the epitome of an Aryan empire prior to their conquest of much of the known world, turning them into a stew of varied peoples, much like Rome would become. Later. Persia would develop close ties with Lydia and thus considered the Trojan War and affront by the Greeks, and this was the catalyst for so much bad

blood and fear suture conflict between Greek and Persian. In fact, Herodotus opens his landmark work Histories recounting the Persian opinion of the war as the fault of the Greeks and their claimed that the incident with Helen was an overreaction, siding with the Trojan perspective that she'd not have gone back to Troy with Priam unless

she wanted to. It's said that the Phoenetians set all this in motion initially people the Greeks seemed to be as closely related to the later Trojans by carrying off the Greek royal Io, the daughter of the king of Argos and Nakis

to Egypt. So I just wanted to double jack and verify. So I just pulled out the or Linda book PDF, and I searched for Leda y Da and yeah, that was one of the three daughters, right, So you had Rayah, which the Frisians, you know, put in the highest position, and then Finda and Leda and Lada were the darker haired ones. And they just had a place down here called Lydia, which I think may have some connection to those names, in Finda being Finnish Finnish right Finland.

The Finns. The Greeks are said to have retaliate courtesy of an incident entire where the Greeks were accused of stealing away the king's daughter Europa, and then in a second incident in which the Greeks, likely Jason himself from the story of Jason and the Argonauts, carried off Medea, another king's daughter. See how it's coming together, See how this is connected to what we were talking

about before. We're watching before with Ammon. Regardless of the spark that ignited the blaze, I believe the Battle of Troy really was all it was made out to be. It's like filling in some more of the details for us, a clash of lions, highly skilled warriors and their prime fighting for honor and glory, to be sure, but also to decide, as the Dictus cretensis states, who would rule the world. And indeed, Troy's fall made it possible for the Greeks to carve out and empire the likes of which few

powers would ever equal. I never had Dictus cretentis, but I think there is a cream for that. And depending on whether you believe ancient historians or modern academics provided the root stock in both Rome and Britain of future empires, they would one day do the same. As a large party of defeated Trojans

was forced to relocate to these distant outposts after their loss. Virgil's Aneiid, among several other accounts, reports the royal Aeneas escaping the destruction of Troy and making his way to Italy, as his grandson Brutus is said to have journeyed to Britain, founding a city he called New Troy, later known as London. Though several BBC articles and assorted academics mock and deride this tale, I've yet to see any evidence overturning the scores of more ancient accounts which plainly saw

this event as factual. And I'm going to say that we're probably going to go fifteen minutes over, and I hope that doesn't mess up. What was formally known as Speak Free Radio is now Ftjmedia Guys. Ftjmedia dot Com is with the video site, and you could still go to money Tree Publishing dot com to get all of the material that we've been covering as far as the Europa series, the plenty of books. If you want to pick up a copy of mindcomf in a translation, that's not going to be changing things or

I'm sure that's the copy that they gave to the fake skinheads to get those idiots to go along with the federal agent contrived little bullshit actions that they created so that they could have real, live anti Semitics they could point out and say, see, look it exists. Until the last century, it was universe accepted. To give one

evidentiary example. Oh yeah, and use could be al for ten percent off if you pick up anything over at money tree Publishing dot com. The historian Geoffrey of Monmouth cites an intriguing letter from the British king quote Casseblon, King of the Britons, to Caius Julius Caesar. We cannot but wonder, Caesar, at the avarice of the Roman people, since their insatiable thirst after money cannot let us alone, whom the dangers of the ocean have placed in a

manner out of the world. But they must have the presumption to covet our substance, which we had hitherto enjoyed in quiet. Neither is this indeed sufficient. We must also prefer subjection and slavery to them before the enjoyment of our native liberty. Your demand, therefore, Caesar, is scandalous, since the same vein of nobility flows from eneas in Britain and Romans, and one and the same chain of consanguinity shines in both, which ought to be a band

of firm union and friendship. That was what you should have demanded of us, not slavery. We have learned to admit of the one, but never to bear the other. And so much we have been accustomed to liberty that we are perfectly ignorant what it is to submit to slavery. And even if the gods themselves should attempt to deprive us of our liberty, we would to the utmost of our power resist them in the defense of it. Yes versus

God, fearing right versus this, the God fearers, the yaoists. No, it doesn't matter who is going to try to take away your freedom. They would defend themselves. Even if God himself came down and tried to subjugate them, it would not go down with them. Know, then, Caesar, that we are ready to fight for that and our kingdom, if, as you threaten, you shall attempt to invade written. Unfortunately, it's not

my aim in this video to recount the battles themselves. Homer's poetic account of the hostilities is without parallel here, but I did want to mention a few

of the lesser known elements. First, the Dictus account mentions Amazon's coming to assist Troy and Achilles himself striking their leader with his spear before then seizing her by her hair to pull her off her horse, an event immortalized in several sculptures, since the hero and his fiery Greeks were in no mood to be as kind to the Amazons as the Scythians had been in their earlier encounters. Quote. Finding Penthesilia still half alive, we marveled at her brazen boldness.

Almost immediately a meeting was held to determine her fate, and it was decided to throw her, while still alive enough to have feeling, either into the river to drown or for the dogs to tear apart, for she had transgred rest the bounds of nature and her sex. Because I was a foreign idea, Where the hell did that come from? Right? Would influence that? That's a very patriarchical position to take, knowing damn well where these people came

from originally, not what they felt about their women. That's a very injected sensibility, there are a lack of sensibility. What the fuck kind of feels like the old priest craft creeping in there, doesn't it? Because the hostilities raged for ten long years, the Greeks even farmed the land nearby Troy's walls to keep the army fed, and both sides reportedly took long breaks over winter. Trojan and Greek even mixed freely, and the sacred grow during this time.

There's also mention of games and sports in the long period between battles, including an archery contest in which a dove was suspended high in the air owned by a between two masts. Ulysses and Marionis were said to have been the only ones that hit the mark, only to be outdone by the winner, Philocttes, who claimed and then proceeded to prove he could cut the string itself with his first arrow. Achilles, it said, awarded him a double prize

for this feat. The massive Ajax carried off all prizes for the boxing matches, and it said that Diomedes won the foot race, which took place in full armor, a contest which would later go on to be one of the most popular Olympic events. Finally, this minus the armor. Of course,

this wasn't just a battle of sword and spear, chariots and cavalry. Those main stays of the ruling cast of the ancient world were used far more often than one might suspect based on popular accounts, especially by the heroes and the leaders themselves. One of the many reasons I've always looked back in humbled awe at the history of the Riyan peoples is their track record of flexible and adaptive

problem solving ability, the very definition of intelligence. It strikes me that the true test here, when faced with a vastly complex problem with hidden variables and unknowns and often no clear and simple historical precedent to draw from with regards to solving it, is this, does one crumble under the weight, run or hide, or engage in mental gymnastics to pretend the problem doesn't really exist?

Or does one find the energy and strengthen spirit to face the problem head on and work to create right order and healthy structure in the face of our natural inclination as human beings towards chaos and can I ask, am I does anybody else have this issue where you're I think it's what we're made of I don't know, male whatever, But are we not instinctively problem solvers kind of like grind our gears in a way to or we just can't comprehend the illogical,

you know, approach of people who complain about things. But when you try to assist, they don't want your help providing them with suggestions or you attempt to intervene or stand up for or anything like that, And it's not it's not perceived well right, I mean, it's kind of a strange thing. And never mind, I'm moving on a generation. This problem solving ability is of the highest and broadest sort. And does he not just say the same

thing I just said at the next line. We are. It's not the silly, bookish understanding of intelligence and education that modern schooling so drills into our heads, where by children are rewarded for memorization and regurgitation of facts, but a multi fasted merit, capable of adapting and adjusting to anything thrown its way, capable of creative and independent thought. Not the follower of rule books and

guides, but capable of creating them when the need arises. I wanted to end this video dedicated to a prime example of this and highlighting a people that represent a tall peak in the history of human achievement. The famed Spartans were a branch of the Dorians, who in turn were a branch of the Achaeans.

And they weren't always those Spartans we've come to know of today. Initially when their world seemed pleasant and well ordered, they were, by all accounts, a pleasure loving folk, fond of dance, song, pioneers and music, known for beautiful pottery and the most delicate and intricate ivory carvings with their

sub conscious shape. By the events following the Trojan War, in which their Dorian forefathers weren't allowed to return home, and subsequently observing a rye and degeneracy and mod revolts falling away of discipline and order, they put away these habits almost overnight, under the guiding hand of a man named Lake Curgis. They were to reshape themselves into a martial elite without equal capable of Now that's impressive.

They became what they needed to be in order to preserve themselves governing over a certain Take heed to that and pay attention to that example. Bile class Aphellots that outnumbered them at times nearly ten to one. This was a people that sought to be masters of men, not through deceit or trickery or manipulation, but by being harder on themselves than those around them, and thus crafting themselves into individuals not only worthy of dominance, but fully capable of acquiring and

maintaining it. The Spartans came up with their own take on colonization. They turned their eyes west and began to wonder what opportunities there were beyond the mountains. It was there that they would go to satisfy their land hunger. It was there that Shangri La would reveal its darker side, because it was there

that a slave nation would be created to serve the Spartan master race. Again, something that wouldn't fly with the core royal Cynthians, the warrior class, but I think you can understand their frustration seeing themselves as an aristocratic elite. They aimed to prove this by being this clearly to all, and in doing so created a societal framework geared towards a single purpose, the cultivation of warriors

as a first step to prevent corruption. Like krgis forbade any citizen to engage in commerce amusingly, and I love the fact that that's an element all the time. Creatively, he limited currency to the use of cumbersome iron spits to the extent that even a moderate per just might require enough to quote fill a good sized wagon. Like Hergus was equally disdainful towards democracy, which most noble Greeks of the day viewed as mob rule ultimately a system at the whim even

back then. So there's there's some contention here. There's some argument here about what democracy used to mean, and we need to restore the name. I think it's I think that might be a little bit of either either Asha Logos is looking at it from a more modern view, or he's looking at the sources themselves, and they're saying that the use that they perceived it as mob rule even back then, or a sneaky way to get to that socialism dependency,

and then you know what we would today call communism. So I don't know the democracy thing the way it's used now and the way apparently the Spartans perceived it. I think there's something we should consider there, because most certainly democracy the way they talk about it now is, as Bill Cooper had mentioned, the youth founders of Marxism, and well, not the founders of communism, but the funders of Marxism. Mister Karl himself, I believe was the

one, or maybe was. Lyndon said that democracy is the stepping stone or the gateway to socialism and socialisms. Its end goal is communism right and of those who are most willing and able to deceive, manipulate, and control the mob. Legend has it that when confronted by a supporter of democracy, he urged the man to quote, start with your own family. Unlike Athens,

who would eventually shift in this general direction. Prior to its decline, Sparta was to be shaped into a hierarchy of merit, self, discipline, hardness, and courage. At the age of seven, their boys were sent to live in a communal militaristic barracks, undergo a well rounded education with a militaristic focus, and we're encouraged to make their own beds from reeds, to sleep

outside, and even haze and spar with each other in the concert. When you look at what was happening around them, to the people that they were skin with, and seeing the degradation. It's like it's it'd be like seeing what's happening to here and wanting to branch off and understanding that something's coming. You can't be that weak and expect nothing to happen to that society. You could understand. I mean, all of this makes sense to me, makes

perfect sense. That they became what they needed to become in order to fill that spot that needed to be filled, and they had the tenacity to do so. And I think like, if you're looking at Berlin and in the depravity that was occurring, mister Hitler did the same. He became what he needed to become. Constructive manner of brothers seeking to improve from one another, Spartan girls at the same age were sent to learn dance and gymnastics, and

were even taught to ridicule the boys to toughen their skin. In the infamous contest of endurance at the Altar of Artemis, cheese was placed at the top, as the boys would compete to reach it, being flogged as they attempted to do so. The best of these children would graduate to the right of passage of the Cryptia. According to Plutarch, every autumn the Spartan ephors would formally declare, here, let me go ahead and just read this cryptia or

cryptia with a K meaning hidden secret things cryptic. Right, so we get the word organized by the ruling class of Sparta, a mixture of secret police and elite forces training. How cool when it's done in the right way. Now, when it's freaking j run government coming into no knock radio at three am to murder you and your fans. Not that type of secret police, not the Cheka, not the FBI, the war on Helots, allowing any

Spartan to kill a helot if he felt wholly justified in doing so. Young Spartans would then roam the Laconian countryside armed with knives, targeting the most rebellious among their subjects. But to add to the challenge, they were forced to do so in secret, for to be caught meant a severe flogging, teaching them like assassin skills. You know what do they call that? Oh? I can't think of the new word right now. To be not merely strong,

but also stealthy. Stealth was the word I was looking for. Yes, thank you, Asha logos A quick and confident Only those who showed success here were likely to attain positions of leadership, restricting the command of Spartan armaments to the most tried and true. Even their music became marshall, and their famed phalanx was known to advance at walking speed, accompanied by rhythmic music and chance practice. You wouldn't expect a culture like that to be singing jingles and

pop songs while they're going into war. Of course, it would be war songs who would be befitting of the mindset They studied intently. They laughed at the concept of walls as contrary to their nature, and the Spartan king at Jesilaus, when touring neighboring cities walls and defenses, was said to have remarked fine quarters for women, and when asked where his own walls were, he

pointed to his troops, saying, these are Spartans walls. Though their prowess was universally recognized by their neighbors, they were far from bullie and in fact were known to be notoriously cautious about committing to wars, often showing tremendous restraint when allies would ask for their aid. The Spartans were known to send a single tactician or advisor rather than an army, similar to the Germans lending out

their general or officer's staff to their allies. Punishment for cowards was extremely severe because it was engaged in naturally by the entire community, a bit like Amish shunning, but far more impactful. Peers were embarrassed to share a meal with them. They were left out of sporting events, had to give the right of way on the streets, had to turn over their seats at events to younger men. Women refused to marry them. They were often forced to wear

embarrassing rags and sport half shaven beards. In short, until they reversed their shame. They were second class citizens, and they were made to feel this difference, much like the Scythians. Although the spartan women's place was at home and hearth devoted to that most important professions of shaping the next generation, they were shown great respect. Even the least of them were apparently highly prized,

and this is super key to any strong society. The family. It's the most important thing paid as nannies and caretakers by their Greeks, and there's a well known story of an attic Greek woman once asking how is it you Spartan women are the only ones who exercise some control over your men, only to receive the reply because we are the only ones that give birth to men.

Did everything they say is badass? I love it. In our age, weak and degenerate individuals largely call the tune and have worked to equate healthy masculinity with brutish stupidity, and many have no doubt come to view the Spartans themselves in this mold. Socrates corrects us here quote they conceal their wisdom and pretend to be blockheads, so that they may seem to be superior only because of

their prowess in battle. This is how you may know that I am speaking the truth, and that the Spartans are the best educated in philosophy and speaking. If you talk to any ordinary Spartan, he seems to be stupid, but eventually, like an expert marksman, he shoots in some brief remark that proves you to be a child into court. And though they spoke little,

what few offerings they did provide reverberate down through the ages. The King of Macedonia and Alexander the Great's father, Philip the Second, far from a weak man himself reportedly flew into a rage at the Spartan sending just one ambassador, as opposed to the usual retin to deal with him. Hi the ambassador replied one ambassador to one king. After invading Greece and attaining several victories, Philip sent a message saying, if I invade Laconia, You'll be destroyed, never

to rise again. The Spartans, confident they could stop him before he'd done so, replied with a single word. If meeting the Persian governor of the sea coast of Asia, Hydarnes, they refused to fall before him and do obeisance as all other nations had, stating it wasn't their custom to worship men, and that they hadn't come to Persia for that purpose. Hi Darnies is said to have promised them great rewards, stating, quote, men of laced

daemon, why will you not consent to be friends with the king? Ye have but to look at me and my fortune, to see that the king knows well how to honor merit in like manner. Ye yourselves, were ye to make your submission to him, would receive at his hands, seeing that he deems you men of merit. Some government and Greece Hi Darnes. They answered, thou art a one sided counselor thou hast experience of half the matter,

but the other half is beyond thy knowledge. A slave's life thou understandest, but never having tasted liberty, thou canst not tell whether it be sweet or no Ah. Hadst thou known what freedom is, thou wouldst have bidden

us fight for it? End quote, and fight for it they did, heavily outnumbered at the famous last stand at the hot Gates of Thermopylie, facing an army anywhere from ten to one hundred times their size, depending on which account one chooses to trust, an army set to drink rivers dry, and

fire off enough arrows to blot out the sun. The Spartans quipped, so much the better, we will fight in the shade, And after again being offered wealth and land and other enticements to put down their arms, they steadfastly refused, offering only that ever relevant reply that echoes through the ages come and take. And what was to go down in history as one of the most

powerful displays of martial excellence, genuine courage, and masterful discipline. An army of over one hundred thousand men was held off and delayed for seven days by this handful of lofty souls that chose to sacrifice all for everything they loved best, and by doing so bought their armies enough time to potentially change the course of the entire Way War. This Spartan defense against Persia is analogous to our

situation today. Spartans considered these late Empire Persians to be corrupt and degenerate powermongers seeking to stamp out freedom and sovereignty. And let's be frank about our situation in the West. We stand at a very real precipice, facing dangers of a sort never before experienced by our predecessors, and must now answer that weightiest of questions, to be or not to be? We stand on the brink

of collapse. We either find a means of cultivating and harnessing inspired leadership once again in that Marcus Aurelius mold, those that see power not as a privilege, or as a means of personal gain, or as an end in and of itself, but as the greatest of responsibilities, as a burden thoughtfully born by a fatherly nature. Oh so, this is a different line that what he's saying. This is if not if it is not right, do not do it. If it is not true, do not say it at the

head of a household towards a meaningful end. Or we seed our world and its future to the merely ambitious and the forces they ultimately serve, the whims and weasels, the narrow shouldered, turred parasites. Is that how we go down? It looks like hiss heads been cropped down there, doesn't It doesn't look like it's really there. It's like it's been added on top and there's no neck. But they're gonna waiting for it. I guess I don't know.

A rootless and clamoring merchant class stamping out culture and race and exceptional uniqueness of any and every kind, and finally, human spirit itself in the service of profit. Margins couched in false ideals as their cover men who seek the destruction of everything natural, conceptions of family, hierarchy, masculinity and femininity, gender itself, and way to war against everything lofty and exceptional and beautiful.

Because these ideas are so foreign to their small and cynical nature, they seek a world without depth or peaks, but rather that even keel of petty materialism, each generation a bit smaller and more tame and more easily controllable than the last. So which way, Western Man? Will the future be controlled by the pioneering, adventurous, heroic and courageous, those always seeking new shores and horizons, seeking to create, explore, expand improve in still order and structure

and purpose? Or will this world become a marketplace ruled by the dollar, and thus ruled by the masters of the dollar. This is our crossroads. After decades of shrinking, of being constrained and restrained, perhaps it's time to stand again, to break free of these fetters and once again become independent and

fully formed human beings. If we're not capable of channeling that discipline, that back to basics, clarity of mind, and that courage to face all obstacles and challenges, no matter how daunting they may seem, this world will become a very very dark place. The Spartans made their choice to stand with unbended knee loud enough to echo down through the generations. What will be our echo?

Great wood end? All right, we will pick this up. We're gonna talk some more about the Scythians and this ancient history of ours, of ours, because it's our identity and it's about time we remembered it.
