Agile, independent, self-sufficient... only taking fights on their own terms, and only when the odds favor them.. refusing to play their opponents games or fall into their traps. Unassailable, yet powerfully capable of assailing enemies. Profoundly competent, yet understated and unpretentious. Just, honest, genuine, courageous and magnanimous, yet capable of being ruthless when the situation warranted. To my mind, these are the hallmarks of the 'True Scythian', that most ancient root of the Indo-European people that proceeded to branch out across the known world and subsequently become known as an endless variety of peoples and nations over time. I've purposefully used the oldest and most broad definition of 'Scythian' throughout this video, that mentioned at 4:00, lumping many of their obvious direct outgrowths into the umbrella term. The more I dig, the more the dividing lines between peoples fall away, and the more its possible to understand the central spoke of the wheel of the 'PIE' (Proto-Indo-European) people, and the 'True' Scythians are very representative of this seed from which so much would later grow. Think of history in the manner of waves radiating outwards (and back inwards) from a central point around the black sea, and firm caste structures developed in its wake, and history immediately begins to make a great deal more sense. There's still a great deal I'm not saying, and haven't yet touched upon, especially with regards to Scythian 'origins', and I hope you'll all be a bit patient in this regard. As I mentioned before, picture this series as an attempt at a spiral towards truth, each rotation drawing a bit nearer, the totality of context a bit clearer, and further building the contextual puzzle. Apologies for not giving details to support each minor point. I'm trying to cover such a broad swathe of time and events that these videos would be 10+ hours long were I to delve into the specifics and supporting evidence, but I try to only to
In our last video we covered the Scythians, who I believe pushed west into Europe as the Goths, leaving a largely R1a haplogroup trail in their wake. In this video we'll cover their relatives, the Achaean and Hellenic Greeks, as well as the mysterious Trojans, likely responsible for the R1b trail left along the coastal regions of the Mediterranean, and into Rome and Britain. So much has been left out, here. Trying to constrain 30 hours of material into 50 minutes is tricky.. there's so much more to be said. So, consider this a first pass, a broad-level take as a prelude to a deeper dive later. On every front, the goal of certain powerful parties seems to be the destruction and erasure of our history and culture. For the sake of future generations, *fight* this.

A high point in the western tradition: strength, competence, stability, order, justice, grace and nobility. Lest we forget.
One of the most striking discrepancies between how we currently understand our history, and how it was understood and presented by those of previous eras, is in the extent of the connection between the ancestors of modern western mankind to ancient Mesopotamia, Persia, India, Greece and Macedonia and Troy, the Steppes.. and one could go on. Nearly every source authored prior to the mid 1900's that touches on the subject matter and the origins of European peoples, stretching back to Homer and the Vedas, speaks of these strong connections, and implies frequent travels and migrations. I've come to believe such connections are stronger than most might imagine. In these videos we'll examine what may be one of the most important sources of such history - authored from within a 'seed' or 'nest' population, quite possibly a key origin point of the *waves* of migration that seem to have taken place over the past few thousand years. Some final notes: In our age, with examples of the healthy feminine almost completely lacking, and opposite examples to be found everywhere, I think its difficult to envision just how positively this deep love and devotion might have manifested when springing from a healthy and well-oriented mind, directed exclusively towards one's kin, nation, and extended family.. as opposed to a chaotic dissipation in 360 degrees - on cats, refugees, characters on TV, and everything in between. The vestal-virgin/burg-maiden conception makes more sense, in this light. Lastly - though kindly, noble, and just, this wasn't a pacifistic population. Much like the Spartans or Goths, they don't seem to have *sought out* wars, or fought them lightly - but their martial prowess seems to have been legendary.. aided by a far larger stature and frame than neighboring populations, mandated military training for every male at least once every seven days, and a prudent hierarchical structure which we'll cover in the next videos. Their mastery of the high seas may
The third and final part of our three part series on the Oera Linda book, in which we speak to a 'Celtic' offshoot that seems to have moved into South America and the region of New Zealand and Easter Island, to the extremely strong connections to ancient Persia and India, and the growing evidence of a highly competent seafaring civilization that seems to have left port-footprints across much of the known world - especially the most strategically significant locations: Athens, Troy, Crete, Minnagara, Constantinople, Stavoren, Tunis, Tyre, and the northwesternmost part of the Black Sea, near the territory of the Royal Scythians). Among so much more than I didn't have time to include were portions of the 'Skeletons in the Cupboard' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf_in...) documentary speaking to what seems to be aggressive and purposeful destruction of old skeletons, proactively searching them out to grind them into fertilizer. What's so disturbing about these modern trends is that they seem to be international in scope, perhaps even organized and intentional, and fueled by a great deal of money, and help from institutions like the Smithsonian. Whether it be Zahi Hawass preventing digging and exploration in Egypt, China restricting Tocharian sites and planting trees atop the pyramids they refuse to officially recognize, the most important artifacts in the world being looted en masse in Iraq during recent conflicts, or ISIS being used to destroy statues, sculptures, and ancient sites, or the Smithsonian 'misplacing' *thousands* of various findings that don't fit into the conventional historical narrative - it's becoming more and more difficult to believe this broader push to rewrite history isn't willful, intentional. The 'why', here, remains an open question - but this is one of the foremost reasons I decided to begin this series, and why there's much more to come.
Perhaps the most explosive insider historical account of significance ever written, Procopius' "The Secret History" claims to voice the untold story of the latter stages of Eastern Rome and it's swift degeneration, specifically under Justinian and Theodora. This respected scholar and historian was no enemy of the Emperor and Empress - at least at the outset - and in fact was chosen by them to be the leading Byzantine court historian. He subsequently became the man responsible for documenting the Gothic wars, spearheaded by Eastern Rome's most famous and capable general of the day, Belisarius. So explosive was the work, and so extreme were certain claims, that the entire work has been largely ignored - a serious mistake and injustice, in my view. This video is a tribute to Procopius, his work, and all similar important histories quietly shuffled away or proactively hidden. One can't help but notice countless parallels with the collapse of Rome and our own degenerate, prideful, ignorant and forgetful age, and important related lessons.. let's not turn our heads.
Perhaps no aspect of our history has been as broadly impactful as the degeneration of our teachers and spiritual leaders. As part of a recurring theme that continues to this day, the role/label/title these earliest high priests and sages helped imbue with such respect, admiration, power and influence, became an irresistible draw to a class of men looking for shortcuts to undeserved power and influence.. and this most important of institutions - and the all-important positions within it - thus became their foremost target.
It's said that Alexander slept with Homer's 'Iliad' under his pillow. He considered the great heroes in these masterful epics to be peers, brothers, kin.. and believed himself to be of their lineage. He seemed to view their courage, competence, their feats of greatness, as a friendly challenge - and took up this challenge, with every ounce of his being. The great men of past eras who strove for glory and honor are often misunderstood, in our age, as being predominantly fueled by selfish motives. A broader picture view might suggest the polar opposite - such men rarely 'enjoyed' the decadent and hedonistic luxury and ease of life experienced by their opposite type, but instead chose lives of sporting hardship, struggle, and the active overcoming of obstacles.. in exchange for leaving a lasting imprint on the fabric of reality, serving to energize and inspire and provide a living example to all who might come after.
The French Revolution (1789 - 1799) led to the destruction of both the Monarchy and the Aristocracy and high Nobility of France, and set new governing precedent in the process. Posing as an organic movement of the people, it would serve to help change the trajectory of the western world, and profoundly alter the way western mankind would view nations, governments, and leadership. Victors really do write the history books - and few instances better illustrate this concept than historical accounts of the French Revolution. Anti-hierarchical sentiments, democracy, humanism, reductionist materialism, rationalism, the modern conception of 'human rights', the term 'Republican' and concepts of 'left-wing' and 'right-wing', the guillotine - all spring from revolutionary France.
It might be said that the birth of secular humanism, 'scientism' or 'rationalism', and the materialist and reductionist philosophies that have come to so dominate modernity, first stepped into the foreground of the western world most profoundly as a result of the French Revolution - and the several similar revolutions it helped spark and inspire. The ancient and traditional conception of hierarchy, in which God represents the 'capstone', with Kings and Chieftains and Holy Men and ruling Nobility to act as his stewards and right hand to establish right order in the material world, seemed to be the foremost target of the leading players responsible for the events of these years. Kill off the prevailing conception of God, kill off the earthly Father and Mother of a nation, and you're left with lawyers, sophists, and money men.. and the entire world eventually pays the price for this disastrous trade.
I debated whether or not to use that unfortunately now-controversial term 'Aryan', here - but no other term seems to suffice, as 'Indo-European' isn't all-encompassing enough, 'Yamnaya' and 'Corded Ware' certainly aren't, as these two seem to be essentially the same people divided by what I believe is a relatively artificial line.. So, I'd like to see this far more technically-correct term revived. And it matters. I believe it matters a great deal. When we're deprived of any term or label for this larger family, we're then unable to even conceive of it once being a singular family, and this almost seems to be the goal of much of modern academia. These next three videos will hopefully help counter this manipulative effort. Language is the first clue - the proto-Indo-European language laying at the root of the several branches that would go on to spread across the world, speaking clearly to our shared, singular heritage. Genetics provide another, showing a clear path of travel...
