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

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. You
guys know where the links are to help out the show much as appreciated.
