A deep dive into the new genetics paper "Evidence for dynastic succession among early Celtic elites in Central Europe" which looks at dynastic succession in Hallstatt and La Téne Celts in Germany.

<THREAD> Here is the paper in question if anyone wants to look for themselves

Medieval monks lived in highly literate multilingual communities, where Latin, Greek, and their native languages were spoken. We can see this in their manuscripts. They often engage in "code-switching", where they insert words of one language into their vernacular.

<THREAD> The most common appearance of code-switching is when monks interject into a sentence with a Latin phrase. One perfect example is from "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco, and if you know basic Latin phrases, this will be comprehensible to you:

Many people compare us to a point in Roman history, often the early Imperial era. To me it seems that we're in the pre-Caesar post-Punic-War phase of economic struggle. We've had our Punic War which decided the ruler of the civilization (guess), and now our industries... are being filled with underpaid slaves from the Imperial borderlands. Two of the main social problems are the reinstatement of the yeoman workers and the urban masses calling for a grain dole.

To add on to the recent Aryan/Indo-European debate: scientists are incapable of classifying ethnic groups by their self-proclaimed names. I mean this literally, since there is nothing to quantify in an ethnos like there is in pottery, language, or genetics. Your language, your genes, and your remains—these things cannot be easily changed, so academics will use these to identify groups across vast timespans. This in itself is good.

We can only use these data as proxies if we remember their relations to real peoples and cultures.

Thread of Iberian Celtic pottery in the La Tène style and its significance.

I've heard it said that early Greek pottery and art was "all horses and swastikas," reflecting their Aryan origins. In Celtiberian art, this is even more true. Celtiberian Culture, in Numantia particularly, is a treasure of pre-Roman Western Europe. Unlike other Celts, the Iberians often worked their art in permanent forms, metal, clay, or stone, allowing us to inspect a very early Celtic culture.

The "End of History" concept among liberal academics should strike you as the most disingenuous historical "theory" to ever appear. It's purely ideological framing. They try to force Man out of his natural mythological mode and into an economic mode of being. "End of History" theorists like Marx or his disciples tell us that the revolutionary or progressive state is the Platonically perfect form of governance, and that once the world is consumed by it, there will be no more major conflicts of any kind.

The fine details of the recent Anglo-Saxon paper.

Let's explore the new genetic makeup of modern England and English descendants globally.

<THREAD> This paper was in the works for a long time. Many Anglophiles promised it would prove a violent Anglo-Saxon replacement of the Iron Age British, but it does not prove this. It does, however, prove many other aspects of the AS migration.

"Chinese have always lived in houses, yes, if that's all you mean by 'civilization'" -BAP

I want to expand on some recent thoughts about what it means to have "civilization" or "civitas", and why many nations don't achieve this.

<THREAD> Our word "civilization" descends from the Latin word "civitas", and it's meaning hasn't drifted very far. Our common understanding is that a "civilized" society is non-hostile, productive, introspective, and cohesive among its members. It produces and enjoys culture.

As much as Tumblr produces nonesense, it also makes some fine Silmarillion art. This is Meadhros and his nephew Eärendil. Fëanor holding his Silmaril

The Genetic Origins of Iceland

Just how Norse is Iceland? How Gaelic is Iceland fro Viking slaves?

THE GENETIC MAKEUP OF THE GREAT AMERICAN RACE

<THREAD> And yes, “American” is a race, or rather, a family of sub-races which find their origins among England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Denmark, and Norway. There are other populations in the United States today, but I will be focusing on the American race.

It appears many people are still in doubt as to the trustworthiness of Irish Annalistic sources. This thread will show that the Irish have recorded folk memory stretching back 4500 years, at minimum. Let's take the Annals of the Four Masters, which was compiled in the 1620-30s, and which was a collection of all the various annals floating around Ireland at that time brought into a single work.

It begins at the biblical deluge, and ends in 1616 AD.

Religion Across the Aions

<Thread> Let's remember the concept of Aions. An Aion is very similar to a Yuga, but derived from Hellennic and IE astrology and the procession of the equinox rather than a division of the eternal cycle into four descending sections.

I don't know how there can be very obvious runic and ogham alphabets in use on Indus Valley tablets and people just ignore them. Right here we have Othala and a number of Ogham lines. If we ignore the Cernunnos (what's he doing here?), I can see Othala, Dagaz, Ingwaz, and Sail in Ogham.

A Thread of Filíocht

The Extent of the Irish Raids on Britain after the Retreat of Rome

<THREAD> Some basic background:

The Roman Empire had been waning in Britain for hears and finally retreated for good in 407 AD. When Rome first conquered Britain, they of course couldn't allow them to retain an independent army, which risked revolt. Rome was their army.

Weird grudge against epithets. Good place to remind people that the northern and Indic IE peoples preferred epithets while the Med and Slav IE used the real names.

This is how the thunder god Perkwunaz became Thor, because the epithet of Perkwumaz was "Stenh-", meaning strong or striker. From the epithet Stenh we get Thor, Indra, and Taranis. Meanwhile Perkwunaz became Perun, Herakles, and Perkunas.

Apolloism 101:

If you haven't read through their threads, I'm putting together a list of their collective idiocy. Every one has a different insane spin on their made up religion. Let's hear it from them. I still don't actually know what they believe (and, plot twist, neither do they!) They never say it, they just insult you for disagreeing with them.

Celtic Astrology by Michel Gérald Boutet

An authentic recreation of the Gaulish, Brytthonic, and Goidelic star systems. You may have seen some "druid tree zodiacs" floating around. These are bunk, derived from a single man's misreading of the archeology, Robert Graves. Boutet examines the linguistic, mythic, and archeological evidence all together to recreate a more accurate astrology.
