WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:12.119
Good morning is Monday, July eighth, twenty twenty four, and we were

2
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.880
back once again. I didn't take
a break this weekend. We did one

3
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:20.000
on Saturday that was pretty lengthy,
almost three hours, and then we did

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.480
another one last night with Stefan Verstappen
on his channel that I simulcasted on too

5
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.920
here and that one was almost three
hours as well, like two hours and

6
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:36.439
forty five minutes. And now we're
back. Now we're back, so we're

7
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.880
going to talk about some of the
back stories since we went into ancient Greece

8
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.960
for a little while. And we've
talked about the Orlando Book in the past,

9
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.039
and we've actually read from it multiple
times. I like there's five episodes

10
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.039
so far of me reading from it
that my computer had to reset, so

11
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:58.520
I lost my spot, so I'll
have to go back to the fifth one

12
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:03.359
and see where I left off finish. But oh man, so bush Master

13
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:12.079
said he lost five pounds in sweat
in this Georgia heat so far, bush

14
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.840
Master, it is going to be
one hundred and eighteen degrees according to my

15
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:22.280
phone here today in Yuma. Yeah, and yesterday I did three point eight

16
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:29.680
miles on the elliptical in the morning, well morning ish, and then late

17
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:36.120
last night I had to desire to
do it again, so I did another

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.200
three point eight miles last night.
So I did a total of two thousand

19
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.239
calories according to the meter burned and
seven point six miles on that elliptical at

20
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.120
max resistance. So that was the
first for that. That was pretty pretty

21
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.760
fun. I just without the phone
to be able to read, because you

22
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.799
can't read on something that looks like
that. I have the TV in the

23
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:08.479
bedroom and I just turned that on
and watch a video find find the one

24
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.400
that's at least like an hour and
a half long, so I don't have

25
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.120
to be messing around with it when
I'm trying to use the elliptical. And

26
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.680
uh yeah, So that's actually kind
of how I got the idea to do

27
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:22.719
this show today. I watched these
last night to refresh my memory on it.

28
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.840
This is like an introduction to the
Scythian information, and then it's gonna

29
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.840
go We're gonna go into the part
three. We're gonna go from two to

30
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.719
three, and in the third one
it's gonna be mostly about ancient Greece,

31
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.319
but we're gonna do the Palasgians,
Palastgians, whatever our actually talked about in

32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.280
the first part a decent amount.
So that was brought up a lot by

33
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.560
Am and I bet it's splash.
I think that the descendants well, I

34
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:57.000
mean, I'm positive they're descendants of
Scythians. Let's see what bush Master at

35
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.879
to say. Healed one, did
three tours three years in Iraq. Well,

36
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.240
wow, glad you're still with us? Man, how this day was

37
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.919
one hundred and thirty six. My
Bradley driver drank four gallons of water and

38
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.479
never got out of the bread.
Yeah. I bet it's all coming out

39
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.879
of his pores. They don't have
any kind of like air circulation of those

40
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.879
things, do they? Like,
how do you not suffocate in that?

41
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:29.199
That's crazy? Holy crap. It's
like a it's like a death box that

42
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:36.560
causes death. So it's like a
one to one ratio there. Okay,

43
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:44.360
So last night, if you were
watching the the uh the fawn Verse,

44
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.599
stop and talk, and I think
you should. The whole time that I

45
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.520
was on, I didn't realize that
was producer Steve until the very end.

46
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.639
Producer Steve of The Freeman Show Freeman
TV. He's been with Freemant forever and

47
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.120
uh so I didn't know that was
I didn't know thir at the door was

48
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:10.960
Steve Mercer, So that's that's cool. And I've had Freeman on before and

49
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.279
I've watched Freeman forever, and a
lot of the guests that I have called

50
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.319
upon to be on my show in
the earlier days were people that I had

51
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:27.560
remembered having seen X many years ago
on Freeman that I was really interested in

52
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.560
talking with. And that's how I
actually got in touch with Stefan the first

53
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.120
time. So it was a full
circle type of deal. Pretty cool.

54
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.279
Anyway, I wish I had known
it was Steve in the first place,

55
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:49.079
but at least now I know.
But someone had put up a comment in

56
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:57.680
the live stream, and what it
said was I read the FBI document on

57
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.360
Bill Cooper, and that guy was
an idiot. He was asking for it.

58
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:12.879
Well, first of all, law
you're thinking is flawed. These people

59
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.360
were assigned to build a case to
put this guy away and take his children.

60
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:26.959
So that's the person who you're going
to filter your perspective on how he

61
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.199
behaved and who he was as a
man through his enemies that want to destroy

62
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:38.399
him because they were told to by
the controllers of this horrific place that we

63
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:44.360
live in, right, Why would
you start there unless you were intending on

64
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.079
having a negative view of the person. What makes you think that the people

65
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.920
who want to take you down are
going to say pretty things about you?

66
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:59.519
How about this, buddy. I've
listened to probably every single episode that's still

67
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.079
in existence of at the Hour of
the Time. I've read his book.

68
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:13.160
I wrote what could possibly be considered
as the continuation of Behold a Pale Horse

69
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.079
right here called Priestcraft Beyond Babylon,
where Bill himself gets to speak in his

70
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:23.800
own words from transcripts from his show. I wouldn't have done all of that

71
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.040
if I thought the guy was an
asshole. I listened to him and let

72
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:35.240
him speak for himself in his own
words hour by hour as I listened to

73
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.800
the hour of the time. He
was a good father, he was a

74
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.360
good man. So what this guy
said, he was an idiot asking for

75
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:51.519
it. What that really means is
that that person is a coward, and

76
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.959
in order to make himself feel like
less of a coward and less insignificant in

77
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.439
comparison to Bill, who had balls
to stand up for his rights, He's

78
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.600
going to cut that guy down because
he should have been acting more like a

79
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:12.600
pathetic slave, like the guy who
posts a comment saying he's an idiot who

80
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.480
is asking for it. So,
now that that's been addressed, let's move

81
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:23.959
on. So I guess there is
air conditioning in the Bradley, but it

82
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:30.720
doesn't do very much. Let's get
it into it. You know where the

83
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.079
description links are if you know what
I notice? Also, so Rumble's deleting

84
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:41.120
subscribers. I have like thirty notifications
that people were subscribing to my channel.

85
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.519
I have less subscribers than it did
on Friday, but over the weekend I

86
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.560
had like thirty notifications. Yeah,
so if you don't know you're not getting

87
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.439
your notifications, you might want to
go check that out. You wouldn't hear

88
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:57.800
this if you didn't if you did
get unsubscribed. So I don't know why

89
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.600
I'm saying it because it's not like
you're going to know anyway. And uh,

90
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.160
what else happened? Oh yeah,
so the deleted videos? I am

91
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.759
currently? I think I am anyway
currently. Let's see if I refresh this

92
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:16.279
if it shows it, hold on. I'm on ftjmedia dot com right now

93
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.600
too, and I think I'm streaming
at the moment if it worked right.

94
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.959
Yes, yes, it actually is
happening right now. That's awesome. So

95
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.040
we're not just on Twitter and rumble
right now. We are going to be

96
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:35.399
preserved whatever on FTJ media, where
they will not take down any of our

97
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.399
videos and the stuff that was taken
down will be put back up there as

98
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:50.000
time permits. Bill was right about
Wim Greer. I think there might have

99
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.919
been a little bit more to that. I still think Jackie got all wacky.

100
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.440
It looks like she pulls his head
into her lap and then his head

101
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.559
this way. Because he said that
flap come out. It looks like it's

102
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.759
being pushed out, like coming from
an exit wound, not an entrance.

103
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.639
You probably have more experience in that
than I do bush Master, but usually

104
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.240
little in Figure Out. You know, I don't know. And I saw

105
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.799
a tough to smoke in the Zupruder
film. That doesn't happen from the bullet

106
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.200
impact. It comes from the gun, right obviously, it's the powder residue.

107
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.639
So if you see that tough to
smoke right above her shoulder and then

108
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.480
you see what happens suicide, it's
kind of hard not to put those two

109
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.480
together and say something's up. Jackie, the Jesebit, Jackie, the Jews,

110
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.639
Jackie whatever you know. Oh,
anyway, Jezbit's are assassins by the

111
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:52.320
way sleepers do. Sometimes. We're
gonna start with conspiracy question mark Our Subverted

112
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:58.080
History, Part two, The Scythian
and their Kid. This is an ash

113
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.840
Logos video. When we get this
started, jump and get another cup of

114
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.919
coffee. Didn't sleep much last night, but my legs are getting huge and

115
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.639
I would seem to have unlimited energy
now right now for whatever reason. Thank

116
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.799
you Anafar. Okay, let's go
to it. You can see, I

117
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.720
can see. Let me get myself
off the screen, though, So I

118
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:33.159
come back and here we go.
So you're gonna I'm gonna have to read

119
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:37.320
this part because he doesn't do this
as terribly as the last thing that we

120
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.279
were watching. But let me read
this there. I will always when I

121
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.559
write it. When I make a
video, unless I'm flashing something on the

122
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.240
screen to add to something else without
interrupting it, it'll always be audible because

123
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.080
not everybody's looking right at their screen
when they're doing stuff, especially if they're

124
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.720
driving. You can't read a screen
when you're driving. A lot of times

125
00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:01.159
people listen to shows while they drive, especially long drives. That's what I

126
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:03.559
do when I'm on long drives,
so it's better. It's more of an

127
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:09.519
experience if you can actually get all
of it, you know, not miss

128
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.639
big chunks of it because you have
to read something. So it says there

129
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.960
are a nation hardly in toils and
warfare, hardy. Sorry, let me

130
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.320
start over. They are a nation
hardy in toils and warfare. Their strength

131
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.480
of body is extraordinary. They take
possession of nothing which they fear to lose,

132
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:37.720
and covet when they are conquerors,
nothing but glory, so they don't

133
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:58.559
pillage either. Trogus Pompeius said that
it's always struck me that there seems to

134
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.639
be something of a black hole and
historical record, as if much has been

135
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.200
left out or danced around, and
when dealt with, it all framed incorrectly

136
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.399
and grossly mischaracterized. On that note, the Scythians seem to be the most

137
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.919
appropriate starting point for our journey in
a very real sense. We'll be starting

138
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.799
in the middle, as the Scythians
seem to be the happy little center with

139
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:30.039
respect to the Indo European people,
the tithe it binds. With regards to

140
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.600
the span of time, historians and
cultural anthropologists often like to place them at

141
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.080
the center point between the dawn of
recorded history and approximately three thousand BC and

142
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:45.519
the present day. Geographically, they're
situated roughly in the center of nearly all

143
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.919
major activity until Rome hits her stride
and Europe begins to take shape. This

144
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.279
centrality is appropriate because they're not only
occupying a central role in time and space,

145
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.679
but in nearly every other respect as
well. It's difficult to overstate their

146
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.159
importance and relevance to the history of
the Indo European peoples. Sorry, before

147
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.600
I get up and get that cup
of coffee, I'm wanted to just say

148
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:22.080
something. These people unite the Gothic
slash Germanic people in the Rusts. They

149
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:28.759
all come from the same source,
and that's something to keep in mind when

150
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:39.559
you see how the spin doctors view
and make want us to view both groups

151
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:46.799
of people. This is an ancient
war, which is why it always seems

152
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.960
strange how little attention conventional historical accounts
are paid to them. You'll find this

153
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:58.480
to be a recurring theme as the
series continues. This subject is incredibly tricky

154
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:03.759
to cover, properly because the label
Scythian has been so elastic and flexible.

155
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.080
Stretching back to their very first mention, if we picture the Proto Indo European

156
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.840
people as a tree trunk splitting off
into two or three similar trunks before splitting

157
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.720
off into ever smaller branches, the
step people known as the Scythians and their

158
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.440
kindred could best be thought of as
the largest and most centrally placed of these

159
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.960
two or three smaller trunks, and
the one that produces far and away the

160
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.960
most branches over time. Genetically,
culturally, and linguistically. It's difficult to

161
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.919
think of any nation or empire across
the Middle East, Europe or Asia that

162
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.879
wasn't either founded or deeply shaped by
this large family within which the Scythian element

163
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:50.559
is centrally placed. I'm forced to
phrase it in such a way because labels

164
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.240
and language begin to fail us a
bit here. Instead of speaking of them

165
00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:00.399
as one people that began to radiate
outwards from the Caucuses across most the known

166
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:05.440
world, conventional theory has instead treated
each subgroup as if they were a distinct

167
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.879
people with a different culture and way
of life, emerging relatively independently from one

168
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.080
another, and of course we give
each of these a separate name, causing

169
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:22.159
them to appear even more distinct.
One group moves into India and suddenly becomes

170
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.559
Indians, another into Persia and becomes
Persians, Another into Bactria and Parthia and

171
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.639
become Bactrians and Parthians. In many
ways, this isn't the most helpful or

172
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:39.080
efficient frame through which to view history, and it was bound to cause great

173
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.960
confusion. For example, if you
look up Scythian in Wikipedia or any similarly

174
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.960
conventional source, you'll hear them spoken
of as if they simply emerged out of

175
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.000
nowhere around the ninth or tenth century
BC. Yet, intriguingly, the historian

176
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.960
Marcus Justinus states the nation of the
Scythians was always regarded as very ancient,

177
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.000
though there was a long dispute between
them and the Egyptians concerning the antiquity of

178
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:11.039
their respective races, the Egyptians being
confounded by these arguments, the Scythians were

179
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:17.440
always accounted as the more ancient end. This is quite the explosive statement,

180
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.559
as our age tends to consider the
Egyptians as the oldest of peoples and empires.

181
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.000
Supposedly in full swing, long before
conventional historians claim the Scythians even entered

182
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.639
the picture. But it gets even
more intriguing, and I relate the following

183
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.960
accounts not to agree or disagree with
them just yet, but because they were

184
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.720
stated by reputable and sober minds of
their age and certainly deserve consideration. The

185
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.960
seventeenth century Irish historian Jeffrey Keating outright
claims the Scythians were of Noah and his

186
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:56.600
progeny and claims that the Sumerians with
an s were descended from them. Epiphanius

187
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.200
of Salamis states that the Scythians were
the ones who built the Tower of babyl

188
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.079
and that the ancient Sumerians themselves were
their descendants, and goes on to state

189
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.400
that Scythian monarchy began soon after the
flood and continued to the captivity of Babylon.

190
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:17.839
He further states quote that the laws, customs, and manners of the

191
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.240
Scythians were received by other nations as
the standard of policy, civility, and

192
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.440
polite learning, and that they were
the first after the flood who attempted to

193
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:33.119
reform mankind into the notions of courtesy, into the art of government and the

194
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:38.200
practice of good government end quote,
and herein lies one of the most intriguing

195
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:44.240
mysteries of this people. Not only
were they extremely capable warriors on the battlefield,

196
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.839
credited with the invention of metallurgy and
bronze, longboats and galleys, even

197
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:53.440
silk, and responsible for some of
the greatest thinkers of the age, such

198
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.920
as Anacarsis one of the Seven Sages
of Greece, as well as being brilliant

199
00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:03.519
artists and craftsmen who used the massive
amounts of precious metals they acquired over time

200
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.240
to produce pieces they would stand up
to any created today. But they also

201
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:12.359
seem to have been universally respected and
well liked. The Greeks very much.

202
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:18.480
Their genetic and cultural kinfolk seemed to
view them as their more wild and less

203
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:25.000
domesticated cousins. Homer called them both
the most just of all peoples, as

204
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.400
well as proud, and according to
Strabo, they were men who quote by

205
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:33.359
no means spend their lives on contracts
and money acquisition, but actually possess all

206
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:41.039
things in common except sword and drinking. Come Ascylus, the Greek poet calls

207
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:45.400
them the law abiding eaters of cheese
made of mahersvel and tells us the Sakai

208
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:52.279
were noted for their good laws and
were pre eminently a righteous people. A

209
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:56.960
writer in the first century BCE by
the name of Pompeius Tragus gives the following

210
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.960
account quote justice is observed among them
more from the temper of the people than

211
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:08.000
the influence of the laws. No
crime, in their opinion, is more

212
00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.880
heinous than the theft gold and silver. They despise as much as other men

213
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:18.880
covet them. They live on milk
and honey end quote. He goes on

214
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.119
to further praise their seeming complete ignorance
of greed and covetousness and vice of every

215
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:29.759
sort, in a manner deeply reminiscent
of Tacitus's later portrayal of the ancient Germans.

216
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:36.319
Jeffrey Keating refers to them as a
brave and generous people, and Strabo

217
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:41.720
states, we regard the Scythians the
most straightforward of men and the least prone

218
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.720
to mischief, and also far more
frugal and independent of others than we are.

219
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.519
So who were these enigmatic people?
As I mentioned previously, It can

220
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:57.880
be difficult to tell where Scythian ends
and Greek or Indian or Persian or any

221
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.720
other group begins such was the interconnection
between these peoples and cultures and the times

222
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.519
prior to the birth of Christ.
But I'll be doing my best unravels story,

223
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:15.000
a topic which will almost certainly require
at least two videos within this larger

224
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:22.599
series. They called themselves the Scholetoy, and although they were just spread over

225
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.160
much of the known world, they
seemed to emerge into recorded history from the

226
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:32.279
regions stretching from Azerbaijan to Ukraine around
the Black Sea. I think it's fitting

227
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:38.680
to begin, which is also why
I think that the Kazarians might have been

228
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.920
the ones that they kicked out.
I think that might be where this rivalry

229
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:53.319
began in our description by calling them, because unlike the Scoletoy the Kazarian Jays,

230
00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:00.839
if you will, they were all
about the marketplace, being the merchants

231
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:07.039
and thieves that they were, And
I think that's what the vision was there,

232
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:14.160
not the vision the the schism,
right, I'm basing that off of

233
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.880
what I read about in the Oral
Linda book about how the Frisians also viewed

234
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:26.720
that It also viewed magic, so
I'm thinking there might be something there fiercely

235
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.519
independent, not only refusing to be
cowed by foreign nations and cultures, but

236
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:37.440
also nurturing deeply held customs and traditions
that ensured they remain free from materialistic desires

237
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.920
and the lure of the marketplace.
Calling to mind that now well known meets

238
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:48.200
gen maxim quote, he who possesses
little is possessed, that much less blessed

239
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:53.680
be a little poverty end quote.
They would routinely bury their dead, especially

240
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:59.400
royals, with several pounds of gold
and precious metals and materials, and they're

241
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:04.839
now famous Kurgan moungraves of which over
one hundred thousand still exist in Ukraine alone,

242
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:11.160
that reached up to seventy feet high, using means and methods and funerary

243
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:17.880
rites deeply reminiscent of those practiced in
ancient Samaria and Egypt. They were masters

244
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.160
of the horse and wheel, allowing
for great speed and mobility, and the

245
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.039
flexibility to move anywhere at any moment, and faster than any of their peers.

246
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.680
Their skillful breeding of horses and cattle
is the reason for the size,

247
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.960
stature, and variety of type we
enjoy today. A lot of these details

248
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:44.319
should be you should recognize them from
when Ammon was discussing the Scythians in the

249
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.279
videos that we were watching, and
their mastery of riding and archery technique caused

250
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.960
them to be virtually unassailable by even
the largest empires and armies of their day,

251
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:57.519
routinely making fools of kings and pharaohs
that chose to try their luck.

252
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.599
Ancient Persian aaryan custom of all youth
learning three things to ride, shoot straight,

253
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:11.839
and always speak the truth, sprung
from their cultural route. The chivalric

254
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.680
and aristocratic knightly tradition in Europe,
in which powerful nobles so often preferred cavalry

255
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:22.319
service, is also almost certainly an
outgrowth of Scythian customers. They could move

256
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.960
their homes with them on wagons and
seemed undaunted by even the most difficult terrain.

257
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:33.119
This mobility was used to masterful effect
against several much larger armies sent to

258
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.240
destroy them. They'd lead the enemy
deep into their territory while implementing a scorched

259
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:44.279
earth policy behind them, causing impossible
strain on their supply lines, threatening starvation

260
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.759
and encirclement, choosing to fight only
when the odds were strongly in their favor.

261
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.160
Pioneers of the recurved bow, and
its mounted usage would later be copied

262
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:59.799
by both Mongol and hun. Darius
himself employed Scythians, no doubt extremely well

263
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.839
paid, in the most important and
central place in his force as he waged

264
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.319
war with Alexander the Great, who
was so impressed with their performance he immediately

265
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:14.559
sought an alliance with the Scythians.
After the dust settled, Alexander made the

266
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.720
peace, but was to make the
same mistake so many others would later make

267
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.200
with the Germans, Goths and Vikings. He failed to realize that this was

268
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.720
not a unified empire he was dealing
with, but something more akin to feudal

269
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.079
chieftains. Making an alliance with one
doesn't guarantee he doesn't have a brother or

270
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:37.640
a cousin with just as large a
force, and soon Alexander found himself staring

271
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.960
down a large force of Scythians across
the river to Nai, reportedly stating with

272
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.079
defiance that he'd never dare lay a
finger on men such as them, yet

273
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:51.400
if he did, he'd soon discover
the difference between Midlight themselves and Asiatic savages.

274
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.920
As I mentioned in the previous video, I think it's most helpful to

275
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.759
picture the Indo European route as spreading
out in seccess of waves, with these

276
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:07.119
waves often conquering or establishing new nations, only to have newer and older waves

277
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:12.200
crash into one another. At the
center of this ocean were those who Herodotus

278
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:18.279
called the true Siths or the royal
Ciths, their aristocracy residing at the heart

279
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.480
of their territory, to which all
other Scythians seemed to willingly serve, and

280
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.759
which Herodotus refers to as the largest
and bravest of the Scythian tribes, which

281
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:33.759
look upon all of their tribes in
the light of servants. These royal Ciths

282
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:37.839
prohibited the enslavement of foreign peoples,
and it said they were served only by

283
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.559
true born Siths of pure blood.
There were also extremely rowdy elements, which

284
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:47.799
one might think of as the bodyguard
on the front lines. These warriors at

285
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:52.759
the outskirts and borders especially, were
known to drink unmixed wine with the rest

286
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.640
of the world at the time,
cutting it heavily with water, a habit

287
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.480
that caused more than one Greek to
go half mad when visiting and attempting to

288
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.200
take up the head for themselves,
including the famous story of the Spartan king

289
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.480
Cleomenes. I think there's more too, that's I think they were drugging the

290
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.240
wine as well. They were well
acquainted with several drugs, and in what

291
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.480
was possibly a ceremonial ritual, used
to set up a teepee like structure with

292
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.400
a fire in the middle, on
which they toss cannabis on the hot stones

293
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:26.839
and imbibe the smoke. And this
goes to that fumigation. I'm not sure

294
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.720
which emin's I've shown you and which
ones I watched on my other one,

295
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.480
but they didn't smoke things, but
they fumigated. So they had put up

296
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:40.000
a tent, build the fire,
and then they would fumigate hot box.

297
00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.599
Basically so, they seem to place
the highest values on nobility and justice,

298
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.240
and were spoken of with praise by
all who dealt or warred with them.

299
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:53.039
These were not soft men. Again. Much like the later Goths and Germanic

300
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:59.000
peoples, war seemed to be viewed
as almost a religious sacrament of sorts,

301
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.000
not merely a source of pain and
suffering and sadness, but rather something approaching

302
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:08.920
a spiritual experience and a chance to
test one another's metal, to earn glory

303
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.440
through the display of great courage and
heroic deeds, a chance to flex both

304
00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:21.440
mental and physical muscle in the highest
stakes contest known to man. There's a

305
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.559
fascinating story about the Scythians being pushed
by one brother people from the east,

306
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.400
the Massagatai, into another brother people
to the west, the Samarians, and

307
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:37.200
being forced to attack the latter to
avoid the former. The royal element among

308
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:41.799
the Samarians, who again were essentially
Scythians, now known by a different name,

309
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:47.960
refused to leave the graves of their
fathers and fleet, and chose instead

310
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.119
to divide into two camps and fight
one another to the last man as a

311
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.880
final hurrah. And when the Scythians
arrived, they took possession of an empty

312
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.079
land. It's said that some outer
tribes had the custom of drinking the blood

313
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:07.079
of the first man they killed as
a right of passage, and would keep

314
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.039
trophies as reminders of their victories.
It's said that the heads of all slain

315
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.079
foes in major battles would be brought
to the king to obtain their just share

316
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:19.759
of the winnings. They'd often make
drinking cups out of the skulls imagine a

317
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:26.559
soccer ball bag full of heads of
their especially respected foes, which they would

318
00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.200
bring out for important gatherings and major
events, and discuss the events behind the

319
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:36.880
obtainment of these grizzly souvenirs as they
dined. Herodotus tells us that once per

320
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.240
year, the governor of each district
would mix a large bowl of wine,

321
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:44.480
perhaps in those famous cauldrons of the
type we seemed to find across every ancient

322
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.359
Indo European culture, and that only
those who had killed a foe had the

323
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.920
right to drink the account. Again, I don't think it was just mine

324
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.759
that was in there. So their
dominance during long stretches of time are almost

325
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.799
unbelievable. A passage from the works
of Pompeius Tragas Reeds and I quote they

326
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:10.119
thrice aspired to the supreme command in
Asia, while they themselves remained always either

327
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:15.759
unmolested or unconquered by any foreign power. Darius, king of the Persians,

328
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.880
they forced to quit Cythia in disgraceful
flight. They slew Cyrus with his whole

329
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:26.720
army they cut off in like manner
Zaparian. What they just said that about

330
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.400
Cyrus might be another reason why there's
a rivalry because remember Cyrus. That's the

331
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:36.920
esther story, right, the perim. If I'm not mistaken, they were

332
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.920
having a free for all killing quote
unquote gentiles. They like their Cyrus king

333
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.720
right, if you know who I
mean, If you know who I'm referring

334
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.920
to. A general of Alexander the
Great, with all his forces. Of

335
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:55.079
the arms of the Romans, they
have heard but have never felt them.

336
00:29:55.799 --> 00:30:00.799
They founded the Parthian and Bactrian powers. They are a nation hardy toils and

337
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:06.160
warfare. Their strength of body is
extraordinary. They take possession of nothing of

338
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.480
which they feared to lose, and
covet when they are conquerors, nothing but

339
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:15.000
glory. The first that proclaimed war
against the Scythians was Cisastras, king of

340
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:21.000
Egypt, previously sending messengers to announce
conditions on which they might become as subjects.

341
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:23.720
That the Scythians, who were already
apprized by their neighbors of the king's

342
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:29.519
approach, made answer to the deputies
that the prince of so rich a people

343
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.519
had been foolish in commencing a war
with a poor one, for war was

344
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.720
more to be dreaded by himself at
home, as the result of the contest

345
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:42.119
was uncertain, the prizes of victory
there were none, and the ill consequences

346
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:47.759
of defeat were apparent, And that
the Scythians therefore would not wait till he

347
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:49.839
came to them, since there was
so much more to be desired in the

348
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.759
hands of the enemy, but would
proceed of their own accord to seek the

349
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:59.240
spoil. Nor were their deeds slower
than their words. And the king,

350
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.599
hearing that they were advancing with such
speed, took to flight, and,

351
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.680
leaving behind him his army and all
his military stores, returned in consternation to

352
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:12.319
his own kingdom. Now it's said
that the Marshlands prevented the Scythians from invading

353
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.279
Egypt in their retreat, from which
they subdued Asia and made it tributary,

354
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.079
imposing, however, only a moderate
tribute, rather as a token of their

355
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.400
power over it than as a recompense
for their victory. After spending fifteen years

356
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.960
in the reduction of Asia, they
were called home by the importunity of their

357
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:37.319
wives, who sent them word that
unless their husbands returned, they would seek

358
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.880
issue from their neighbors and not suffer
the race of the Scythians to fall of

359
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:48.079
posterity through the fault of their women. Asia was tributary to them for fifteen

360
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:52.720
hundred years and it was Ninus,
king of Assyria that put a stop to

361
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:59.400
the payment of this tribute. And
it's important to note here that Cisastras reigned

362
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:04.799
in approximately nineteen hundred BC, so
already we're seeing evidence in the Cithyans not

363
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:10.920
only existing but dominating long before Wikipedia
and conventional academia claimed they arrived on the

364
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:17.119
scene. In a story that well
illustrates their insistence on honesty and direct dealing

365
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:27.319
in the early friction between it would
be completely in opposition to the Kazars and

366
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.720
the people that are like them,
right, I'm telling you, I think

367
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:36.240
that these are the people who were
favoring the marketplace that way you have been

368
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:42.160
of that city and tribe initially were
one of the because they're not unified people,

369
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.200
right, So those who went off
and did that may not have had

370
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.160
the been kicked out. Maybe it
was the blessing to go do your own

371
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:53.160
thing, but they definitely had friction. And I also think it's interesting that

372
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.960
they talk about them, you know, despising gold and silver, yet they

373
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:05.839
in Posse was you know, a
tribute anyway, Obviously they still needed something

374
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.519
right, So it's just something I
pick up when I'm watching this. Persia

375
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:14.640
and Cyrus, the Scythians faced one
of their only significant defeats by what they

376
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.319
would come to see as a deceitful
trap. A large army of Scythians,

377
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.480
unaccustomed to wine, found an empty
Persian camp, purposefully stopped with a drink,

378
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:29.799
and almost immediately got very drunk.
The Persians attacked at the key moment,

379
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:35.319
routing the Scythians and capturing and subsequently
killing their general, Sparaga Pisces,

380
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:40.440
the son of the queen Tamarses.
She promptly led a force out to challenge

381
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:46.000
Cyrus herself, and to quote Herodotus, the greater part of the army of

382
00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:52.119
the Persians was destroyed, and Cyrus
himself fell after reigning nine and twenty years.

383
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:57.319
Search was made among the slain by
order of the queen for the body

384
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.680
of Cyrus, and when it was
found, she took a skin, and,

385
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:04.200
filling it full of human blood,
she dipped the head of Cyrus in

386
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.960
the gore, saying, as she
thus insulted the corpse, I live and

387
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.960
have conquered you. In fight,
and yet by you I am ruined,

388
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.039
for you took my son with guile. But thus I make good my threat

389
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.760
and give you your fill of blood. Of the many different accounts which are

390
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.440
given for the death of Cyrus,
this which I have followed, appears to

391
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:31.559
me most worthy of credit. End
can't even mess with the Scythian women.

392
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:37.960
They will mess you up. And
my favorite story illustrating their martial dominance and

393
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:44.000
willingness to toy with foes, is
the instance in which a large Persian army

394
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:49.039
under Darius, sombrely organized in battle
array, and awaiting a signal, began

395
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.599
to hear playful cries from the Scythian
army. Darius is said to have asked

396
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.639
what the clamor was, only to
find out that they were passing the time

397
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:01.239
by sportingly chasing a hare. He
said to have stated, quote, these

398
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:06.519
men have very slight regard for us, And I perceive now that Gobrias spoke

399
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:13.000
rightly about Sythian gifts, Seeing then
that now I myself too think that things

400
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:17.199
are so we have need of good
counsel in order that retreat homewards may safely

401
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:22.960
be made. It's said that Gobrias
replied O King. Even by report,

402
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:27.920
I was almost assured of the difficulty
of dealing with these men, And when

403
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.519
I came I learned it still more
thoroughly, since I saw that they were

404
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.800
mocking us. Now, therefore,
my opinion is that as soon as night

405
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:37.679
comes on, we kindle the campfires, as we are wont to do at

406
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:42.679
other times also, and deceive with
a false tale those of our men who

407
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:46.039
are weakest to endure hardships, and
tie up all the asses and get us

408
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:51.800
away. There's also the story of
two Scythian youths of royal birth being driven

409
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:57.119
from their country and founding a settlement
near Cappadocia to engage in Viking like raids

410
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:02.079
for many years with great success.
Finally, several surrounding peoples banded together to

411
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:08.239
set a massive ambush and cut them
to pieces. Quote their wives. When

412
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.079
they found that exile was added to
the loss of their husbands, took arms

413
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.119
themselves and maintained their position, repelling
the attacks of their enemies at first,

414
00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:23.000
and afterwards assailing them in return.
They relinquished all thoughts of marrying with their

415
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:29.119
neighbors, saying that it would be
slavery, not matrimony. They also took

416
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.400
revenge for their husbands that were killed
in war by a great slaughter of their

417
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:38.280
neighbors. There's an interesting anecdote that
speaks of as Scythian skirmish with the mythical

418
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:44.639
Amazons, who it seems were likely
very real and ironically were likely the genetic

419
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.480
kin of the sixth that may have
come to be in a manner very much

420
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:52.800
like the situation just described. It
was only after the battle, upon viewing

421
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.199
the dead, that they realized their
defeated foes were actually women. After some

422
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:02.199
discussion, it was decided these Amazons
were a worthy people, and thus the

423
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:07.079
Scythians sought them out. Finding their
location, they sent a contingent of men

424
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:12.800
to set up camp near them,
with orders to flee if attacked, drawing

425
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:17.079
a bit closer with each passing day
while signaling their peaceful intent. After some

426
00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:22.599
time, a Scythian and Amazon finally
met face to face. The two managed

427
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:28.039
to clumsily communicate, and the two
groups soon followed suit, and as each

428
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:32.119
man paired off with a woman,
a new tribe was born. And this

429
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.960
is illustrative of a larger point mentioned
previously, one that bears repeating, the

430
00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.559
Scythians left a trail of their genetics
and culture across most of the known world.

431
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.159
To this day, most historically literate
peoples from a wide variety of nations

432
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:51.840
can trace themselves back to the Ciths. That means you and me, guys.

433
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.639
In fact, recent finds seem to
show their influence extended all the way

434
00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:01.239
into modern Korea with a so called
Scylla roy burial mounds. Check this out.

435
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:09.800
Now, what do we know about
America? Right? This may be

436
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:15.679
an indication of some seafaring that came
over here. And it's also might link

437
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:22.639
to the guy whose actual name was
Inca, who is a Frisian who parted

438
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.119
that they talk about New Orleansic book
and they don't know where he went,

439
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:31.119
but he went this direction. This
is a mound building, you know,

440
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:38.000
it's graves, mound burials. That
was Scythian in nature. Maybe other cultures

441
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:45.440
did it. But I'm just saying, to find large bones in America an

442
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:51.480
awful lot and these mounds, I
think there's something here. Just saying I

443
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:57.639
think there's big indication that the Scythians
were here a long time ago. In

444
00:38:57.880 --> 00:39:04.840
Guangzhou closely resembling those of the Siths, and containing remarkably similar goods. In

445
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:07.599
the previous video, we spoke of
India and the Sakia tribe from which Buddha

446
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:13.719
was born into the warrior caste.
Interestingly, the Jats in western India,

447
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:20.800
favored by the colonizing Brits as a
martial race, claimed descent from this tribe.

448
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.280
The Persian Empire, as well as
the Median, Bactrian and Parthian were

449
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:30.079
essentially direct outgrowths of the Scythians.
What I find even more interesting is the

450
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:36.039
wealth of connections to the Spartans with
regards to appearance, customs, traditions,

451
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.920
culture and mindset. And I've included
a link in the description to an impressive

452
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:45.440
article discussing a topic. Though slavery
was prohibited among the royal Scythians, it

453
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:51.199
was practiced in many of the surrounding
tribes using a structure similar to that of

454
00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:57.480
the Spartans and their helots. Both
were well respected, intelligent, but abhorring

455
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:02.599
pretentiousness, disciplined. You know,
they might be really the Spartans. But

456
00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:08.360
remember the Spartans had battle buddies.
That movie three hundred, the three hundred,

457
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:14.079
that was one hundred and fifty in
and their boyfriends. Let's let's let's

458
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:19.599
get this straight here. It's a
little bit of weird culture unrivaled on the

459
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:24.320
battlefield. Both seem to honor simplicity
and the shunning of wealth and the marketplace

460
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.000
as a virtue. They also seem
to share origin stories, among so many

461
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:36.039
other things. It's a virtual certainty
that these two people's were genetic Kim.

462
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.400
It's a depressing fact that the great
majority of their magnificent art has no doubt

463
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:44.840
been lost forever due to the activities
of grave robbers who not only steal the

464
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:50.039
gold artworks but often melt them down, activities which continue to some extent this

465
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:53.400
very day. In fact, if
it wasn't for the Russians are Peter the

466
00:40:53.440 --> 00:41:00.559
Great's decree of seventeen eighteen, which
ordered the collection of these antiquities and established

467
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:05.159
brutal punishments for thieves, we'd be
left with virtually no traces of their existence.

468
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.679
And Peter the Great may have been
the sendant of them, because the

469
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:15.039
roofs were comprised of these Scythians.
But actually, I think even if he

470
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:17.800
was Germanic in nature, which I
think it was, that may still make

471
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:25.000
him Ascythian, So what did they
look like? Modern historians seem intent on

472
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:30.840
portraying them as an Indo European and
Mongoloid mixture, though none of the hard

473
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:35.199
evidence seems to point in this direction, especially the further back one moves through

474
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:38.400
time, and this seems to be
the all too common air brought about by

475
00:41:38.480 --> 00:41:44.119
associating them with the peoples existing today
in the regions they roamed so long ago.

476
00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:49.800
Thankfully, we've been left with several
firsthand descriptions and a wealth of art

477
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:55.760
created by themselves and surrounding nations depicting
their style of hair dress and their facial

478
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:01.360
features. To go over a few
of these descriptions, Herodotus described the Budini

479
00:42:01.400 --> 00:42:07.920
of Scythia as red hair and gray
eyed. Hippocrates speaks of their ruddy skin.

480
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:14.079
Arismappes of their fair hair. A
second century BC envoy from China named

481
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:17.880
Zhang Quam speaks of their blue eyes, as does Plenty the Elder and the

482
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:24.840
Greek philosopher Pullman. The fourth century
historian Marcinellis speaks of the Allens direct kin

483
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.239
to the Scythians as being tall,
with blonde hair and blue eyes. It

484
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:36.119
seems much of the mongoloid admixture probably
happened over time across every nation, in

485
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:39.719
which those tribes that didn't move west
ended up putting down their roots as not

486
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:45.360
a single And that was something that
the Frisians did warn about, is that

487
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:53.559
mixing because of the loss of culture
and because they would introduce barren ideas into

488
00:42:53.800 --> 00:43:00.880
their mix that would be conflicting with
what they held sake. Ingle ancient description

489
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:07.639
describes them with physical features that might
be deemed asiatic. Historian Tamara Rice states

490
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.760
quote. In fact, until sometime
in the fifth or fourth century BC,

491
00:43:13.400 --> 00:43:17.960
the predominant inhabitants of even western Siberia
were a fair haired people of European origin,

492
00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.119
and it was after that date that
an influx of mongoloids resulted in a

493
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:30.119
very mixed type of population. And
what became of those that moved west.

494
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:34.960
I believe we know these as the
Yamnaya people that moved into Europe in waves

495
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:40.000
starting around two thousand BC. That
people most closely resembling the Scythian culture and

496
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.360
way of life would undoubtedly be the
Goths. Many historians prior to World War

497
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:52.239
II had such trouble drawing dividing lines
between the Germanic and Celtic and Scythian peoples

498
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:57.519
that they considered distinctions to be arbitrary, and Sharon Turner in the History of

499
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:04.360
the Anglo Saxons states the Anglo Saxons, Lowland, Scotch Normans, Danes,

500
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:10.360
Norwegians, Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Belgians, Lombards and Franks have all

501
00:44:10.400 --> 00:44:15.320
sprung from that great fountain of the
human race, which we have distinguished by

502
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:22.400
the terms Scythian, German or Gothic. Genetic research seems to bear this out

503
00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:25.480
clearly, with the boundaries of the
r one A Hapler group matching the vast

504
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:30.960
expanse of their movement over time.
Culture and custom seems to bear this out,

505
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:37.239
with the Germanic peoples sharing so much
of their historical character and traditions with

506
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:42.880
Thecythians. The similarity in the burial
mounds of the Swedish kings in Uppsala with

507
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:47.039
those of the Scythian royalty is striking, and the specific type of R one

508
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:52.639
A genetic signatures found in Norway and
Sweden clearly resemble those existing throughout the trail

509
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:59.079
of the Scythians, extending into the
Altai region where many Siths settled down and

510
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:02.639
let and it wouldn't be uncommon for
the Native Americans, if you want to

511
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:09.239
call them native migrants as well,
but for them to take on the practice

512
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.280
of that which they saw around them. And we talked. He talked about

513
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:21.199
these people kind of being the first
to come out after the deluge to establish

514
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:28.800
society or community or whatever. They
don't want us to know anything about that.

515
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:34.199
Everything starts in Samaria, right,
This predates that for the most part,

516
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:39.480
and maybe even can be what comprised
Samaria. But also it's kind of

517
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:44.559
interesting that, you know, so
there could be a mixture of Native American

518
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:49.000
in there as well, but a
lot of the folk tales in the Native

519
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:55.719
American culture have to do with large
men who are pale skinned, another indication

520
00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.239
we'll sometimes call them all that was
the Vikings, But what was it?

521
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:07.639
More specifically, was it the Scythians
left their lasting genetic mark? The human

522
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.079
genetic data is even supported by a
comparison of the genetics of the Norwegian fjord

523
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:16.039
horse and the Mongolian horse, and
the data suggests that the migrants to Scandinavia

524
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:21.519
brought within their prized horses, which
became the root stock of the Norwegian e

525
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:25.519
coins of today. There is also
a strong connection to the Polish royal houses,

526
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:30.000
and it's theorized that the famed and
feared Polish cavalry Hussars were an outgrowth

527
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:36.960
of the Scythian route. The Scottish
clans such as the mcdougalls, MacDonald's and

528
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:43.199
mcallisters also share the same unique genetic
markers, and in the Scottish document the

529
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:50.400
Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish traced
their roots clearly back to Scythia. I

530
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:54.559
spoke earlier of the royal Scythians being
known as the true or authentic Scythians.

531
00:46:55.239 --> 00:47:00.559
I found an interesting parallel here with
the Germanic peoples, who in Latin were

532
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:05.800
known as Germani, which is the
plural of the adjective Germanus, which can

533
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:10.679
mean seed and was often used to
mean authentic or genuine. To the Romans,

534
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:16.559
they were known as the authentic Celts
and Ninius in his account of germ

535
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:22.559
Seed, Yeah, we can understand
that route right. The rival of Hingist

536
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:29.360
and Horsa in Thanet states that messengers
were sent to Scythia for reinforcements. The

537
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.920
context shows that these in fact came
from North Germany, so evidently the name

538
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:39.920
of the genuine Scythians persisted long in
Northern Europe. Burials found near Brandenburg dating

539
00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:46.079
to the sixth century BC are yet
another clear testament to their presence. The

540
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:52.159
skulls discovered in the Royal Scythian Tombs
near Savon, Armenia, which likely date

541
00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:58.840
back to between nine hundred and five
hundred BC, show dlacocephalic type best matching

542
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.760
the modern Nordic type, and there
seems to be a great number of parallels

543
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:07.159
with the Scythians and Vikings in particular
across the board. Both had a long

544
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:12.480
history of extracting wealth from neighbors,
but rarely wishing to stay and rule.

545
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:17.320
Sear says magyars in the purple right
here, that's how it's spelled. It's

546
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:23.760
like magy in the Frisian account in
the Orlando Book of those who present,

547
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:30.679
you know, practice magic that they
spell it with why but again as a

548
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:37.599
translation, so maybe it was just
a translator's prerogative, and seemed to prize

549
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.960
simplicity, courage, honor, and
considered combat to have something akin to a

550
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:51.360
spiritual significance. Both were fiercely independent, often stubborn and prideful, both equally

551
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.599
shunned domesticated life and all of its
trappings. It's noted in the Icelandic Sagas

552
00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:00.320
that men from Asia became the aristocrats
of Sweden and Norma, and this can

553
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:05.199
only be a reference to the Scythians
and related tribes who were later to push

554
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:10.239
back eastward as the Rous, leaving
behind a ruling cap see versus Keevin Russ

555
00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.360
right there in the middle. This
is that potential Kazari and Taie here,

556
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:22.079
But also they were the let's call
them a germ, the seed of the

557
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:29.360
Russian people as well, good people
asked, and the title of the nation

558
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:35.559
we know as Russia today. In
my research, multiple sources speak of material

559
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:39.639
goods with a Scythian stamp appearing with
a greater frequency as the Viking era approaches.

560
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:45.480
So, even having said all of
this, we've just scratched the surface

561
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.159
here, and I've only been able
to bribe some of the meat of the

562
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.719
overall story. In a future video, we'll be covering the Goths and Germanic

563
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:58.880
peoples specifically, and in another I
hope to deal with the history of these

564
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:05.960
enigmatic people prior to approximately one thousand
to fifteen hundred BC. Many of you

565
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.559
may know there's still an elephant in
the room to be dealt with related to

566
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:12.840
this topic, and I'm looking forward
to dealing with it to the best of

567
00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:20.159
my ability, And selfishly, I
wanted to close with some subjective editorializing.

568
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:27.079
I've come to respect these people their
culture and worldview and manner of being,

569
00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.599
and I think we have much to
learn from them. Time and time again,

570
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:37.119
they had opportunities to conquer and settle
in large urban centers and embrace the

571
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:43.920
ease of life and conveniences these provide, situated as they were centrally located between

572
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.199
the east and the west, much
like the Kusars would do in the same

573
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.719
region. Later, they could have
devoted themselves to becoming merchants, growing again

574
00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:55.719
another indication that some of them may
have sput off as the Kazars, fat

575
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:01.440
and happy, potentially from the process
of buying and selling between empires, dealing

576
00:51:01.480 --> 00:51:07.760
both goods and human beings. They
seem to very consciously and purposefully reject this

577
00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:14.159
path, and time and time again
speak as if they recognize the threats of

578
00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:21.559
orienting their lives towards the materialistic marketplace
and the softness and dependence and domestication that

579
00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:27.679
inevitably follows. These are ideas that
seem to remain in the Western bloodstream for

580
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:32.559
many, many generations to come,
an immune system that caused most populations to

581
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:37.000
view real labor with pride not shame, and cause the aristocracy to look with

582
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:44.880
great suspicion on the merchants that begin
to rival their power intermarry, so that

583
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:51.360
shows again the parasite versus the independent
who goes and seeks and gathers and takes

584
00:51:51.960 --> 00:51:55.679
in works, versus somebody who gets
other people, convinces them and tricks them

585
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.599
into working for them with their fis
or enslaves them, straight out families,

586
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:06.440
and slowly but surely changed the face
of their nations. Currently, we orient

587
00:52:06.599 --> 00:52:12.199
virtually all of our intellectual energy and
efforts towards the marketplace, towards the creation

588
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:16.920
and marketing and buying and selling of
goods and services, the majority of which

589
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:22.079
don't seem to be causing an increase
in true happiness or fulfillment, and a

590
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:27.480
key view of which seem to be
definitively having the opposite effect. On a

591
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:35.119
nass scale, The Scythians managed to
produce great minds pioneering inventions, explores the

592
00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.360
likes of which will probably never know
the full exploits of, and might be

593
00:52:38.440 --> 00:52:43.880
hard pressed to believe even if he
did. And a class of strong and

594
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:49.239
robust and self sufficient men who seem
to have been liked and feared and respected

595
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:52.800
by all that they encountered. I
wonder if that's Roalda up there, or

596
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:55.800
if it's Oordin, But it could
be Rollda. He's got both eyes.

597
00:52:57.119 --> 00:53:04.039
And they did so while embracing nature, both within and without. I often

598
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:08.119
wonder what they think of our concrete
jungles are sequestering ourselves in cubicles for the

599
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:13.440
lion's share of our days, in
service to a corporate entity in whom we

600
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:17.920
have no stake, and CEOs and
shareholders who we have no personal connection to,

601
00:53:19.920 --> 00:53:23.400
and our rush to toss everything that
served us so well by the wayside,

602
00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:29.880
to adopt every form of newness and
novelty without regard to its longer term

603
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:36.800
ramifications on mind, body, and
soul. Though the modern world equates labor

604
00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:40.280
and hard work with strife and equates
the minimization of these things with happiness,

605
00:53:40.639 --> 00:53:46.199
I have to disagree. Work is
psychologically gratifying in so far as we can

606
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:51.960
clearly grasp its purpose and utility.
And in this respect, it strikes me

607
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:58.400
that few things could be as deeply
gratifying as providing complete self sufficiency for self

608
00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:02.679
and family and tribe, thereby bowing
the head and bending the knee to no

609
00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:08.960
government, no nation, no foreign
individual or corporate construct, least of all

610
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:15.639
those seeking to live parasitically by directly
or indirectly imposing servitude on others. You

611
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:22.320
said it. We may no longer
live in a world of frequent physical conflict,

612
00:54:22.559 --> 00:54:25.199
at least not at the moment,
and certainly not with bows and arrows

613
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:31.440
and swords and axes. But characteristics
like courage are almost equally valuable across all

614
00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:39.199
eras, all environments and situational contexts, as our genuineness and trustworthiness, and

615
00:54:39.480 --> 00:54:45.880
the discipline to avoid covetousness and petty
materialistic pursuits. I can't help but feel

616
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:50.880
that, relative to our ancestors,
we've largely forgotten how to be men.

617
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:57.360
The proxies of drinking beer and watching
football have been substituted for our sense of

618
00:54:57.480 --> 00:55:04.719
personal responsibility, our highest responsibilities to
family, extended family, to culture and

619
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:10.639
nation, and to the creator we've
been coaxed into trading true independence and self

620
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:22.440
sufficiency for a servile consumerism. This
as dependence begets subservience and finality, suffocates

621
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:29.400
the germ of virtue and prepares fit
tools for the design of ambition Thomas Jefferson.

622
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:32.559
Instead of our foremost goal being to
deeply understand our world and all of

623
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:38.039
its machinations in order that we might
meaningfully improve it and ourselves, we've been

624
00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:45.960
convinced to outsource this process of understanding
to men who call themselves experts and intellectuals,

625
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:50.079
while we devote the majority of our
time and attention to seeking some purely

626
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:54.639
financial edge over our fillow men.
Worship of the dollar and epigy makes for

627
00:55:54.800 --> 00:56:00.239
small men or just survival doesn't have
to be for person you have, you

628
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:07.360
know, competition. But we are
in a system that right now they don't

629
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:12.599
take your they don't take anything else
for your rent besides money, you know.

630
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:16.559
So I mean it kind of forces
you into this position to where you

631
00:56:16.599 --> 00:56:25.239
have to acquire earn or some other
way, you know, obtain something to

632
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:30.639
feed that beast that keeps God getting
hungry every month, turns them into tools

633
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:37.880
of powers they don't understand and in
many cases don't even care to understand there

634
00:56:37.960 --> 00:56:43.679
are much higher and worthier things in
this life. The goal of those who

635
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:49.599
currently call the tune is to level
every mountain, to cultivate fully dependent and

636
00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:58.000
controllable and domesticated men with three Abrahamic
religions. To do it with units and

637
00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:04.639
cogs, not individuals. The Scythian
would have been their worst nightmare with an

638
00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:09.599
unconquerable spirit and a studiously developed worldview, and that's why they attacked Germanic people.

639
00:57:09.639 --> 00:57:14.400
And that's why they attacked the Russians, making him eternally immune to this

640
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:19.880
siren song. Modern man, on
the other hand, has been shaped into

641
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:24.960
their dream come true. Perhaps it's
time we stopped playing another tribe's game,

642
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:29.719
another tribes game. Nice, but
I just wanted to read this. This

643
00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:35.559
is from man must feel the earth
to know himself and recognize his values.

644
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:39.760
God made life simple. It is
man who complicates it, and that's lind

645
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:51.639
BERDYCHUCKI and started channeling our Innercythian.
Yes, let's start channeling our Innercythian before

646
00:57:51.719 --> 00:58:06.639
we don't have an opportunity to get
out of this mess. Please. That's

647
00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:09.920
the end of the first one.
Nice, short video there, pretty decent.

648
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:15.760
Okay, So before we go any
further, there's a couple of things

649
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:23.480
I need to show you. I
found rare footage. I found very rare

650
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:30.239
footage of bush Master in his crew. Well basically he's bush Master in his

651
00:58:30.360 --> 00:58:45.920
tank. Hold on, hold on
here it is. It's a little hot

652
00:58:45.920 --> 00:59:25.559
in these rhinos girls. Why why
the mother rhino was giving first this it?

653
00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:59.719
She didn't it have had money?
All right, it's just teasing,

654
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:07.840
b I'm sure that's how I felt
though. Uh yeah, well it was

655
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:08.920
three minutes long, dude. We
weren't going to go through the whole thing

656
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:19.440
Vegas. The clip was a little
long. I wasn't chopped up into smaller

657
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:23.480
so I had to go somewhere in
the middle, all right. And one

658
01:00:23.559 --> 01:00:31.039
other thing, it might be hard
to listen to the guys, uh what

659
01:00:31.039 --> 01:00:36.880
do you call it? His his
uh delivery? Some might find it difficult,

660
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:49.599
but it's it's happening anyway. Miss
Rosenhal. Rosenthal was a senior aide

661
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:54.880
Senator Jacob k. Javitz. Rosenhaul
was murdered in a terrorist attack in Istanbul,

662
01:00:54.960 --> 01:00:59.480
Turkey. He says the same thing, murdered, but he was really

663
01:00:59.519 --> 01:01:04.079
assassin. Isn't that the same goddamn
thing they say murdered? But really this

664
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:07.239
man was assassinated for exposing too many
secrets. In nineteen seventy six, he

665
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:12.920
wrote a book called The Hidden Tearing. This man was an Ashkenazi Jew and

666
01:01:13.000 --> 01:01:15.119
he was telling it all. He
writes in this book, and I quote,

667
01:01:15.239 --> 01:01:21.360
at first, by controlling the banking
system, we were able to control

668
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:28.920
corporational capitals. Through this, we
acquired total monopoly of the movie industry,

669
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:36.280
the radio networks, and the newly
developed television media. The printing industry,

670
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:44.480
newspapers, periodicals, and technical journals
had already fallen into our hands. He's

671
01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:47.280
talking about the Jewish control of all
these things. He goes on to write.

672
01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:52.119
The richest plumb was later to come
when we took over the publication of

673
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:59.719
all school materials. Through these vehicles, he writes, we could mold public

674
01:01:59.800 --> 01:02:06.039
up opinion to suit our own purposes. Damn old brothers and sisters. But

675
01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:10.360
it gets deeper. He starts talking
about religion. Here's the point here,

676
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:19.519
the bigger point chosenhaul rights. We
are amazed by the Christian's stupidity in receiving

677
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:25.119
our teachings and propagating them as their
own. As a result, Christians doesn't

678
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:31.519
have God's word on a certain matters, they have the Jew's word yard the

679
01:02:31.599 --> 01:02:37.840
Jews worder. Judaism is not only
the teaching of the Synagogue, but also

680
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:45.199
the doctrine of every Christian church in
America. Through our propaganda, he writes,

681
01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:50.880
the church has become our most avid
supporter. This has even given us

682
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:55.840
a special place in society by them
believing the lie that we are the chosen

683
01:02:57.000 --> 01:03:04.079
people and they are the gentile.
There you go, there, I have

684
01:03:04.079 --> 01:03:15.559
it. It's more receipts for what
I've been saying. That's all. Let

685
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:32.960
me see next one is this all
right? Okay? Now, this one's

686
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:52.559
called Hellenic Greece, Troy and the
Real Game of Thrones. Hellenic Greece represents

687
01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:55.679
a high point of human history,
and specifically a high point in the Western

688
01:03:55.719 --> 01:04:03.840
tradition. Their sculpture and artwork seemed
divinely inspired. Their poets and thinkers and

689
01:04:03.920 --> 01:04:08.639
writers are to this very day among
the best the world has ever produced.

690
01:04:10.440 --> 01:04:14.519
Up until fairly recently, all of
Europe felt a living connection to this past.

691
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:19.159
That strongest of genetic and cultural bonds
that causes such profound feeling of resonance

692
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:25.760
on viewing the masterful creations in stone
and Marble, or reading the profound,

693
01:04:25.880 --> 01:04:30.559
thoughtful works of Plato or Heraclitis,
or those lofty words of Homer. The

694
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:34.960
German philosopher Hegel went so far as
to state, at the name of Greece,

695
01:04:35.159 --> 01:04:40.760
the cultivated German finds himself at home. All that makes life satisfying and

696
01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:47.039
elevates and adorns it we derive directly
or indirectly from Greece. Voltaire once paid

697
01:04:47.039 --> 01:04:53.280
the highest compliment to the famous court
of Frederick the Great by proclaiming it was

698
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:58.760
Sparta in the morning Athens in the
afternoon. An author Madison Grant compared to

699
01:04:58.880 --> 01:05:04.880
Sparta and Athens relationship of martial discipline
and artistic mastery to Prussia and France,

700
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:15.199
and considered this combination to be the
ideal. Hellenic Greece was almost universally acknowledged

701
01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:18.880
as a breath of fresh air,
a flowering of mind, body and soul,

702
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:27.400
and exceptional people who cultivated for themselves
an exceptional existence which inevitably produced exceptional

703
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:34.599
art, heroes and ideals. Ancient
Troy one of the most intriguing mysteries in

704
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:40.159
the historical record, and one that
captivated the hearts and minds of the Western

705
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:45.519
world for centuries. The events that
took place in this region over the span

706
01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:49.920
of just over ten years shook the
world and would leave a lasting imprint on

707
01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:56.840
the Western Psyche, stretching up to
this very day. They inspired one of

708
01:05:56.840 --> 01:06:01.480
the first transcendent works of heroic literature, and Homer's Iliad, a creation that

709
01:06:01.599 --> 01:06:05.519
stands to this very day as one
of the greatest works ever pinned, as

710
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:11.440
well as one of the most quintessentially
Western or Rian. The very first book

711
01:06:11.519 --> 01:06:15.440
printed in English was another account of
this pivotal event, firing the imaginations of

712
01:06:15.639 --> 01:06:20.559
entire generations, as it remained the
most popular book throughout much of Europe per

713
01:06:20.559 --> 01:06:27.400
centuries. Many of the greatest works
of art were directly inspired by the Paul

714
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:30.760
of Troy. The lineage of the
royal houses of Europe traced back to the

715
01:06:30.800 --> 01:06:35.440
figures involved, and the historical figures
such as Alexander, the Great, Xerxes

716
01:06:35.719 --> 01:06:41.400
and the earliest emperors of Rome all
paid personal homage to the site and its

717
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:47.079
heroes. Both Rome and Britain were
alleged to have been founded by aristocratic ancestral

718
01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:51.800
lines fleeing Troy after its complete decimation
at the hands of their brother Greeks,

719
01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:59.519
who were another offshoot of this singular
bloodline. M En shows this exact picture

720
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.159
often, but it's not this stenciled
version. It's the one that he flashes

721
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:09.119
that's painted This period of history,
this region, and the events contained within

722
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:14.199
both represents something akin to a very
real game of thrones, one that needs

723
01:07:14.360 --> 01:07:17.400
no hype or exaggeration to be one
of the most important stories ever told.

724
01:07:19.760 --> 01:07:25.280
And yet within a few hundred years, our understanding of all things Troy changed

725
01:07:25.320 --> 01:07:30.199
completely. Homer's account of the events
was called into question, and then the

726
01:07:30.280 --> 01:07:35.320
validity of Homer himself as a historical
personality was challenged. The root historical sources

727
01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:40.239
he drew from, long believed to
be passed down from men directly involved in

728
01:07:40.280 --> 01:07:45.400
the events, were suddenly labeled frauds. Our understanding of the conflict itself became

729
01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:50.239
muddied and confused, with some suddenly
questioning if it occurred at all, and

730
01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:57.679
finally proclaiming that Troy itself probably didn't
exist, but was rather some fanciful invention.

731
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:09.599
The slowly raised of history and elimination
of any positive strong examples of societies,

732
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:15.639
flash forward to the present day,
and Troy is a mere footnote of

733
01:08:15.719 --> 01:08:20.039
history, poorly understood, if at
all, by most modern students, and

734
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:28.680
mentioned in passing and often derisively or
dismissively by modern professors. The last major

735
01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:32.920
production on the theme was the BBC
and Netflix production Troy Fall of a City,

736
01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:38.920
in which the most renowned warrior of
them all, Achilles, universally described

737
01:08:38.920 --> 01:08:42.840
in historical accounts with blonde hair and
fair skin, is played by a man

738
01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:46.720
whose ancestors hailed from Ghana. An
acceptable change, says The New Yorker,

739
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:53.680
because they consider Achilles to be fake
anyway, so quote imaginative license in casting

740
01:08:53.880 --> 01:09:00.840
seems perfectly acceptable. End quote.
If you search Wikipedia to bet understand who

741
01:09:00.880 --> 01:09:08.119
the Trojan people were, you'll find
nothing, literally no entrgue. Google Dorian

742
01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:14.840
invasion from most regions, and this
will be your first result. It's incredible,

743
01:09:16.039 --> 01:09:19.760
though we've lost all in depth understanding
of our own roots and origins,

744
01:09:20.079 --> 01:09:26.640
and subsequently our recognition of the importance
of this understanding. It's been cleverly replaced

745
01:09:26.640 --> 01:09:31.600
with a substitution we can all experience, vicuriously created by teams of writers out

746
01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:35.600
of thin air. We no longer
have any grounding in who or what we

747
01:09:35.720 --> 01:09:41.239
are or where we've come from.
But we've managed to replace all of these

748
01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:45.439
pesky concerns with an invented fantasy reality, one which it's dude, looks like

749
01:09:46.479 --> 01:09:53.439
the composite of Saturn. Here with
this Sep Skype been deemed safe to discuss

750
01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:59.319
freely. I sincerely hope everyone listening
to these words will give some thought to

751
01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:04.119
just how dangerous this is, how
devastating the ramifications of tossing out such a

752
01:10:04.159 --> 01:10:10.239
wealth of valuable historical context, all
of the great tales and myths and legends

753
01:10:10.239 --> 01:10:15.199
of our ancestors. These events and
the stories that grew up around them are

754
01:10:15.239 --> 01:10:20.640
informative and shaping, meant to be
guiding and teaching tools and sources of inspiration

755
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:26.800
and energy and life force. The
generations who paved the way for us hoped

756
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:30.000
that their sacrifices might be remembered,
and that their lives and the manner in

757
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:34.840
which they lived them might be recounted, not for petty reasons of ego,

758
01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:42.359
but as examples of right thinking,
right living, right being, and ideals

759
01:10:42.399 --> 01:10:46.199
to strive to equal. We now
live in some twilight zone reality in which

760
01:10:46.199 --> 01:10:51.039
we allow a handful of men in
Hollywood and New York to completely reinvent our

761
01:10:51.119 --> 01:10:57.359
past, to shape our present and
thereby orient our course for the future,

762
01:10:58.399 --> 01:11:03.239
severing our roots and replace them with
artificial concoctions springing from minds that, for

763
01:11:03.279 --> 01:11:11.640
the most part, aren't exactly students
or admirers of Western culture. I don't

764
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:15.680
mean to pass judgment on those deeply
invested in shows like Game of Thrones.

765
01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:19.079
They're technically well made productions, and
the massive interest so many feel for them

766
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:25.960
comes from a good place. We're
desperate for some real connection to and understanding

767
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:30.760
of our past and the archetypal essence
behind it all. A starving individual isn't

768
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:35.000
going to hold out for a healthy
and natural, well rounded meal. He's

769
01:11:35.039 --> 01:11:40.279
going to latch upon anything edible that's
nearby and make the best of his lot.

770
01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:45.560
I'm simply arguing that an exceptional feast
lies just out of reach, and

771
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:50.399
we're contenting ourselves with some cheap soda
and heavily processed cheese from a can so

772
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:57.560
diamedes. Here, that's the picture
on the left in the thumbnail. It's

773
01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:00.079
not that picture, but it's a
picture of diet. It's a statue of

774
01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:05.039
Diamedes, and then on the right
hand side it's Heraduus in case anybody was

775
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:11.920
wondering about the thumbnail, albeit attractively
packaged, to anyone that might claim that

776
01:12:11.960 --> 01:12:15.079
events like the Fall of Troy and
so many others throughout the very real historical

777
01:12:15.159 --> 01:12:20.000
record aren't at least the equal of
anything being churned out by the wizard behind

778
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:25.800
the curtain of popular culture today,
I'd argue that perhaps you haven't read them

779
01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:30.159
with open eyes, and you probably
haven't read them in the original ancient Greek

780
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:33.279
either, which means you probably are
not really reading them at all. I

781
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:36.159
mean, you know what I mean. But for what we've learned about the

782
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:43.199
septuagen and what it says, there's
a lot lost in translation, probably no

783
01:12:43.279 --> 01:12:50.119
comparison. These are objectively great tales, overflowing with pathos and energy and spirit

784
01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:56.039
and depth, whereas so much in
our age has become a copy of a

785
01:12:56.199 --> 01:13:02.279
copy of a copy, exaggerated for
effect, and thereby simultaneously caricatured and cheapened.

786
01:13:04.439 --> 01:13:09.359
Slowly, but surely we're awakening to
the power of truths at the core

787
01:13:09.399 --> 01:13:13.960
of our history, and someday soon
I hope these healthier and more powerful tales

788
01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:19.640
might be brought back to life and
embraced once again. One other very important

789
01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:26.800
point before we begin. The historical
record has become less interesting, less inspired,

790
01:13:26.960 --> 01:13:30.319
and infused with natural energy, in
large part because in our age academics

791
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:35.520
choose to view it through an artificial
framework of their own subjective design. The

792
01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:41.079
ancients didn't see the world in terms
of foreign national boundaries drawn on a map.

793
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:46.319
This was a world structured according to
kinship and ancestral lines. Terms like

794
01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:53.640
hellenic or royal Scythian were as much
racial designations as anything, and one couldn't

795
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:58.720
become either of these merely by moving
into the geographical area. It's no coincidence

796
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:03.680
that so many ancient texts are filled
with detailed accounts of lineage. It's recently

797
01:14:03.720 --> 01:14:08.880
become the fashion within modern academia here, as in so many other respects,

798
01:14:09.359 --> 01:14:15.319
to paint our ancestors as inveterate liars
creating detailed family trees solely for nefarious purposes

799
01:14:15.359 --> 01:14:23.319
of basking and undeserved glory, whereas
the usual suspects don't even realize that children

800
01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:27.800
are not for eating. I feel
these accusations of petty motives are a case

801
01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:32.399
of projection. I find it strange
that we now mistrust and dismiss so many

802
01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:39.479
ancient historical accounts as a default academic
position. If we didn't have so much

803
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:43.600
documented footage in this age of technology, it'd be easy to imagine a future

804
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:48.640
in which some bespectacled intellectual would pronounce
in supremely confident tones that, of course,

805
01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:53.720
there was no former TV star as
president of the United States. You

806
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:57.399
see, people like to feel as
if they live in exciting times, so

807
01:14:57.439 --> 01:15:01.800
they'll often make up stories. This
sagely, of course, as most viewers

808
01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:06.640
nodded in bobine agreement. And then
he'd proceed to doubt whether a Donald Trump

809
01:15:06.720 --> 01:15:13.039
even existed as a person at all, with perhaps a condescending laugh directed at

810
01:15:13.039 --> 01:15:17.000
those who believed otherwise, and then
go on to create several elaborate reasons as

811
01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:21.840
to why he probably didn't exist.
And this is just one of the many

812
01:15:21.920 --> 01:15:29.720
reasons I encourage everyone to seek out
root historical sources and beware the derivatives and

813
01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:35.079
speculation of academics who merely create their
own subjective interpretations of these root sources,

814
01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:42.720
and all too often do so according
to modern prejudices and politically correct cultural winds.

815
01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:47.439
Once upon a time there was a
significant overlap between our heroes and our

816
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:54.319
guards. The great Greek thinkers and
poets were usually courageous men of well rounded

817
01:15:54.359 --> 01:15:59.079
and multifaceted education, who more often
than not fought in the battles of their

818
01:15:59.119 --> 01:16:04.840
age. Times have changed, unfortunately, in this age of self professed experts.

819
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:10.319
And for the record, there's that
fig expert thing coming up again.

820
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:15.880
I certainly don't claim the title of
expert myself. I'm merely someone who's worked

821
01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:19.439
hard to build a context picture that
makes sense, someone that seeks only to

822
01:16:19.479 --> 01:16:24.319
make corrections to the prevailing narrative in
those cases where the truth of the matter

823
01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:30.399
seems to have been egregiously violated or
overstepped, so to set the stage.

824
01:16:30.800 --> 01:16:34.319
I believe that, of course Troy
existed, and that we almost certainly know

825
01:16:34.359 --> 01:16:39.800
its location. I believe the battle
Homer references, as well as the eventual

826
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:44.720
fall of Troy both came to pass. I've even come to believe strongly that

827
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:49.680
the individuals mentioned in the tale,
from Achilles to mid Laos to Prian to

828
01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:56.880
Adammnon also existed, and if their
exploits have been exaggerated by some throughout the

829
01:16:56.960 --> 01:17:01.520
years, This is hardly grounds for
their dis missile, as veneration isn't the

830
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:09.000
same as fabrication, be you know, elaborating on something that isn't the same

831
01:17:09.000 --> 01:17:14.119
thing as it being a myth,
living and breathing human beings. In short,

832
01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:16.920
it's my opinion that the only things
up for serious debate are the details.

833
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:23.479
Was there an actual trojan horse,
was Hellen forcibly kidnapped? Or was

834
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:28.760
there some willingness which individuals bear the
blame for the hostilities and so forth?

835
01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:34.800
Though I feel that these answers matter
far less than the broader picture. I

836
01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:40.279
believe the Hellenic Greek element they waged
such a brutal and prolonged war against Troy,

837
01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:44.119
one which likely took place around twelve
hundred BC and over the span of

838
01:17:44.279 --> 01:17:48.199
ten years and raged all along the
western coast of Anatolia, with Troy as

839
01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:53.760
its central flashpoint, was a battle
between men of very similar stock, language,

840
01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:57.880
and culture. While it's likely those
a Troy spoke a dialect we now

841
01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:00.960
call Louian, there's no evidence of
any need for translators of any sort when

842
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:05.479
those from Greece and Troy visited one
another's courts, and there seems to have

843
01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:12.159
been several intermarriages and close familial relationships
between the two, to the extent that

844
01:18:12.199 --> 01:18:15.239
many were torn throughout the course of
the war as to which side disport.

845
01:18:15.560 --> 01:18:20.760
They also had several share heroes,
customs, and traditions. To cite what

846
01:18:20.840 --> 01:18:27.560
purports to be a first hand account
by dictys of crete quote, Trojan princes

847
01:18:27.600 --> 01:18:30.920
and Trojan allies. It is a
sad thing for us to be at war

848
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:35.239
with the Greeks. Can you imagine
there's so much of this, these artifacts

849
01:18:35.239 --> 01:18:45.159
that scumbag merchants and thieves and no
regard for the historical value or the artistry,

850
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:49.319
and would melt it down to make
a stupid bullion as stupid squares they

851
01:18:49.359 --> 01:18:54.079
could, they could, you know, squirrel it away somewhere. So many

852
01:18:54.119 --> 01:18:57.359
of those artifacts they were talking about
the Anthiens being varied with pounds and pounds

853
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:02.159
of gold, all taken, all
taken and melted down. But an even

854
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:05.920
sadder and more painful thing that for
the sake of a woman, we have

855
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:11.520
made enemies of the closest friends of
those who, being descendants of Pelops,

856
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:15.199
are joined to us even by ties
of marriage end quote. However, we

857
01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:20.279
should stop for a moment here to
clarify terms and descriptors. Greek is a

858
01:19:20.560 --> 01:19:27.079
lazy umbrella term here. In reality, there were several fairly distinct peoples mixing

859
01:19:27.079 --> 01:19:31.039
in this region. Kretschmer argues that
there were three major waves of movements in

860
01:19:31.199 --> 01:19:36.319
Greece, beginning with the proto Ionian
element in about two thousand BC, perhaps

861
01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:43.720
better referred to as Pelasgian, followed
by there it is Pelasgian, a proto

862
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:48.920
Achaean element around sixteen hundred BC,
and finally a Dorian element around twelve hundred

863
01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:55.640
BC. Herodotus seems to agree here
and saying, quote, the chief peoples

864
01:19:55.680 --> 01:20:00.840
were the Lacedaemonians among those of Doric
stock, and the Athenians among those of

865
01:20:00.880 --> 01:20:05.960
Ionic stock. These races Ionian and
Dorian were the foremost in ancient time,

866
01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:13.920
the first a Pelasgian and the second
a Hellenic people. The Pelasgian race has

867
01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:18.399
never yet left its home. The
Hellenic race has wandered often and far end

868
01:20:18.479 --> 01:20:23.720
quote. Much like I'd mentioned in
earlier videos, these waves seem to be

869
01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:29.159
migrations of what was likely once a
singular racial stock. Having said this,

870
01:20:29.319 --> 01:20:34.680
there do seem to be some noteworthy
differences the more indigenous Pelasgian and Ionian stock

871
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:40.119
seem to have been a bit more
quiet and peaceful, a bit more attached

872
01:20:40.119 --> 01:20:44.159
to the land, perhaps a bit
shorter in stature, and more similar in

873
01:20:44.199 --> 01:20:48.079
physical appearance to those dark haired Pinoans
and Myceneans pictured on so many walls and

874
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:56.720
frescoes in the region of the Achaeans. Historian J. Bagnellbury states quote it

875
01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:00.000
is uncertain at what time the Achaeans
made their first appearance in the Greek peninsula.

876
01:21:00.439 --> 01:21:04.680
They were a people of blonde complexion
of Indo European speech, who came

877
01:21:04.760 --> 01:21:10.119
down from the regions of the Danube
and made conquests in Thessaly and the plain

878
01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:14.960
of Sperchios. In the course of
time, some of their chieftains won lordship

879
01:21:15.039 --> 01:21:20.000
over the Peloponnesus in Argolis and Laconia, probably by marriages with the daughters of

880
01:21:20.039 --> 01:21:25.640
the old Greek dynasties. It is
not probable that the Achaean invaders came in

881
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:30.079
great numbers. They formed a small
ruling class who were soon assimilated its speech

882
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:35.319
and manners to their Greek subjects.
They did not work destruction. They won

883
01:21:35.399 --> 01:21:42.199
lordship and leadership, and their adventurous
spirit guide agrees to reread enterprises. End

884
01:21:42.279 --> 01:21:47.600
quote. There's an intriguing reference to
an encounter on the battlefield of the champions

885
01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:53.239
Glaucus and Diomedes, who end up
thrusting their spears into the ground, embracing

886
01:21:53.239 --> 01:21:58.760
one another as brothers and exchanging armour
as they recall their ancestral ties. How

887
01:21:58.760 --> 01:22:03.520
are you seeing that helmet on the
lad left here? Say that right there

888
01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:09.880
looks familiar? Right, They kind
of look more like dragon heads than they

889
01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:14.479
do snakes. But they may have
like a spike scale in their back,

890
01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:18.800
but that looks an awful out like
the medical symbol does not. The dueling

891
01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:24.680
snakes the dote in the antidote both
are mentioned as being amongst the greatest of

892
01:22:24.760 --> 01:22:30.279
the Achaean warriors. Yet one seems
to represent the Achaian continental Greek royal house

893
01:22:30.720 --> 01:22:34.439
and the other the Akean royal house
in Asia Minor. This anecdote, like

894
01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:38.680
so many others, seems to And
they're standing on the tail, which shows

895
01:22:38.680 --> 01:22:42.000
dominance over it, right I think, and holding it by the neck or

896
01:22:42.039 --> 01:22:46.159
whatever. I think that's an indication
of they have mastered the control of the

897
01:22:46.359 --> 01:22:53.479
snake or the dragon or whatever.
That is illustrate two things firstly the close

898
01:22:53.520 --> 01:22:59.279
ancestral connection between the rulership of Greece
and Troy. Secondly that in akean royal

899
01:22:59.359 --> 01:23:04.840
line the region of the day the
final major wave that formed the composite we've

900
01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:10.680
come to know as Hellenic Greece.
The Dorians entered the scene more like rampaging

901
01:23:10.760 --> 01:23:15.720
lions. Historians and scholars have long
remarked on their seemingly extreme focus on the

902
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:20.800
martial and militaristic, and I tend
to think there's a relatively clear cut explanation

903
01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:27.960
for the extremity of this trait.
There's an intriguing passage in Plato's Laws in

904
01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:31.520
which he speaks of the birth of
the Dorians as a subset of the Achaeans.

905
01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:36.279
Quote now, during this period of
ten years, while the siege lasted,

906
01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:41.800
the affairs of each of the besiegers
at home suffered much owing to the

907
01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:45.840
seditious conduct of the young men.
For when the soldiers returned to their own

908
01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:48.960
cities and homes, these young people
did not receive them fittingly and justly,

909
01:23:49.479 --> 01:23:53.800
but in such a way that there
ensued a vast number of cases of death,

910
01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:59.720
slaughter, and exile. So they
being again driven out migrated by sea,

911
01:24:00.520 --> 01:24:03.479
and because Dorius was the man who
banded together the exiles, they got

912
01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:09.760
the new name of Dorians instead of
Achaeans. But as to all the events

913
01:24:09.760 --> 01:24:14.520
that follow this, you Lacedaemonians,
relate them all fully in your traditions end

914
01:24:14.640 --> 01:24:18.399
quote. In other words, it
seems the Dorians came to be a self

915
01:24:18.439 --> 01:24:23.920
selected subset of those most courageous Greeks
that sail off to fight in Troy.

916
01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:29.039
So not only were they innately something
of a military caste, but now we

917
01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:31.600
add to this their anger at being
expelled from their own homes, and we

918
01:24:31.680 --> 01:24:36.279
have a recipe for the future martial
mindset of the Spartans, who would reach

919
01:24:36.359 --> 01:24:40.960
the peak of their power and control
some six hundred or so years later.

920
01:24:42.039 --> 01:24:45.600
And with regards to the Dorians,
we have another extremely intriguing citation from Herodotus,

921
01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:49.760
who was likely a Dorian descent himself. In tracing their lineage, he

922
01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:55.560
follows the ancestral line of descent up
to Perseus and then says, quote,

923
01:24:55.880 --> 01:25:00.279
if we follow the line of Denod, daughter of Acrisius, and Trey her

924
01:25:00.319 --> 01:25:04.520
progenitors, we shall find that the
chiefs of the Dorians are really genuine Egyptians,

925
01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:10.600
and the genealogies here given. I
have followed the common Greek accounts end

926
01:25:10.640 --> 01:25:15.239
quote, and then he proceeds to
add the mysterious quote. Enough, however,

927
01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:18.920
of this subject, how it came
to pass that Egyptians obtained the kingdoms

928
01:25:18.960 --> 01:25:23.520
of the Dorians, and what they
did to raise themselves to such a position.

929
01:25:24.119 --> 01:25:27.880
These are questions concerning which, as
they have been well treated by others,

930
01:25:27.920 --> 01:25:30.720
I shall say nothing. I proceed
to speak on points which no other

931
01:25:30.760 --> 01:25:36.279
writer has touched. End quote.
This seems to indicate that other authors of

932
01:25:36.319 --> 01:25:41.279
his time, whose writings have somehow
been lost to posterity, covered this topic

933
01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:45.880
in depth. But maybe we'll find
some in the Herculean Library that there are

934
01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:51.119
uncovering. At the moment, when
we recall the fact that so many of

935
01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:55.199
the most ancient pharaohs that we have
yet to on Earth have been found with

936
01:25:55.479 --> 01:25:59.399
fair hair intact, and that the
genetic testing of Tute in Common showed a

937
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:04.000
direct conne to northwestern Europeans, yet
virtually no connection to modern day Egyptians,

938
01:26:04.600 --> 01:26:10.760
and when we further consider the wealth
of findes in Sumeria and surrounding territories depicting

939
01:26:10.760 --> 01:26:15.079
their leaders and gods with blue eyes
and Sargon the Great's comments about ruling over

940
01:26:15.119 --> 01:26:20.399
a black headed people, the idea
of an Indo European element with fair features

941
01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:26.399
existing in the region is more than
a possibility, but rather seems in obvious

942
01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:32.680
factual reality. The ancestral and cultural
connections between the Persians, Scythians, Greeks

943
01:26:32.720 --> 01:26:39.760
and others to places like ancient sumer
and Egypt seems far stronger than modern academics

944
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:43.800
seem willing to credit, all the
way back to the dawn of recorded history

945
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:48.399
and beyond, and even Helen herself, after being taken by Priam prior to

946
01:26:48.479 --> 01:26:54.039
the Trojan War, seems to have
spent her years in Egypt during hostilities.

947
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.880
And of course, we have a
Thebes in Greece, which Homer seemed to

948
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:03.439
consider of the greatst antiquity, and
a Thebes in Egypt, something which many

949
01:27:03.479 --> 01:27:11.800
academics attempt to this day to pass
off as pure coincidence. And with regard

950
01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:15.720
to the racial character of Hellenic Greece
and Troy, thankfully we have several accounts,

951
01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:20.640
the best of which exist in the
masterful artistic products of their own hands,

952
01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:26.880
including sculpture that remains to this day
among the greatest ever produced. The

953
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:31.359
fifth century poet Pindar, hailing from
Greek Thebes, referred to the Greeks as

954
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:36.720
the fair haired Danoi, and fragments
from a one hundred and fifty BC travelogue

955
01:27:36.920 --> 01:27:42.840
describe the women of Thebes in particular
as quote the tallest, prettiest, and

956
01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:45.920
most graceful in all of hellas their
yellow hair is tied up in a knot

957
01:27:45.960 --> 01:27:50.640
on the top of their head end
quote. The Spartan Alkman was one of

958
01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:56.880
the first ancient voices who praised the
athletic Spartan females, specifically mentioning their golden

959
01:27:56.920 --> 01:28:01.640
hair and silver or light gray eyes. Even as late as the fourth century

960
01:28:01.680 --> 01:28:09.960
AD, Adamantius, an Alexandrine physician
and scientist, wrote in his Physiognominica,

961
01:28:10.560 --> 01:28:15.640
that of all the nations, the
Greeks have the fairest eyes, adding that

962
01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:19.560
wherever the Hellenic Anionic race has been
kept pure, we see tall men of

963
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:27.479
fairly broad and straight build, of
fairly light skin and blonde. And of

964
01:28:27.520 --> 01:28:31.439
course, the list of gods and
goddesses and heroes with similar features is far

965
01:28:31.520 --> 01:28:35.279
too large to cover here. But
what I find even more interesting is the

966
01:28:35.279 --> 01:28:40.239
physical accounts written down in the first
hand account of the events of Troy,

967
01:28:40.960 --> 01:28:45.640
authored by Mondarius of Phrygia, of
those more mysterious citizens of Troy itself,

968
01:28:46.680 --> 01:28:50.439
I find his writing style fascinating,
and then he chooses to give a brief

969
01:28:50.640 --> 01:28:58.039
physical and psychological description of nearly every
major figure involved, a document now completely

970
01:28:58.079 --> 01:29:01.600
out of print, which should surprise
no one that I've linked below this video

971
01:29:01.720 --> 01:29:08.880
along with the other purported first hand
account of Troy. Nearly all of the

972
01:29:08.920 --> 01:29:13.000
figures are described as having either fair
skin, eyes, or hair, with

973
01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:17.680
a large percentage of these two being
blonde, such as Agamemnon, who was

974
01:29:17.720 --> 01:29:24.640
described as quote blonde, large and
powerful. He was eloquent, wise and

975
01:29:24.760 --> 01:29:30.479
noble end quote. And to give
one particularly amusing example, Polyxina was fair,

976
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:34.800
tall and beautiful. Her neck was
slender, her eyes lovely, her

977
01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:41.039
hair blonde and long, her body
well proportioned, her fingers tapering, her

978
01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:45.279
legs straight, and her feet the
best, surpassing all others in beauty.

979
01:29:45.600 --> 01:29:53.800
She remained a completely ingenuous and kind
hearted woman. The second account of Troy,

980
01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:57.960
which claims to be first hand,
is called the Dictys Cretensis, authored

981
01:29:57.960 --> 01:30:01.840
by Dictys of Crete. Like so
many other ancient sources, both documents were

982
01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:08.079
accepted as pieces of the historical record
up until fairly recent times, during which

983
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:13.000
academics have led the charge to label
both as frauds or inventions, a stance

984
01:30:13.039 --> 01:30:16.239
I can't help be extremely skeptical of. It's thought both may have been used

985
01:30:16.239 --> 01:30:20.239
by Homer in crafting his account,
along with other sources we no longer have

986
01:30:20.319 --> 01:30:26.479
access to. But what's additionally fascinating
is that each represents an account from an

987
01:30:26.479 --> 01:30:30.359
opposite side of the battle, and
in reading both, it's easy to see

988
01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:33.479
how each side might have blamed one
another, and how an event that Herodutus

989
01:30:33.479 --> 01:30:39.239
claims was sparked by a misunderstanding might
have snowballed into one of the most monumental

990
01:30:39.319 --> 01:30:45.359
and impactful wars in Western history between
two equally stubborn and prideful and powerful clothes.

991
01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:51.039
It's unfortunate that Dairi's account is so
short, so little has come down

992
01:30:51.079 --> 01:30:56.119
to us about the nature of Troy
and her people, and no doubt,

993
01:30:56.199 --> 01:31:00.399
much like the Burning of Alexandria,
the complete destruction of Troy likely meant that

994
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:04.520
many written records or the bards and
storytellers that might write them, were lost

995
01:31:04.560 --> 01:31:11.680
forever. On this topic, there's
a curious mystery that to this day remains

996
01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:17.159
unsolved involving what we today call Troy
towns, which usually manifest as turf cut

997
01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:24.680
mazes, though are sometimes created with
stones. A popular theory was that these

998
01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:30.439
representations of the ancient labyrinth of crete, another that they represent the layout of

999
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:34.800
Troy or the concentric circles of Atlantis
as Plato described it, or both.

1000
01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:43.119
There were once thousands of these scattered
throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and hundreds still

1001
01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:47.039
exist to this day, with the
majority being found in Sweden. Yet incredibly,

1002
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:53.199
they're even found in places like Egypt, India, and Peru. One

1003
01:31:53.239 --> 01:31:59.279
of the more intriguing theories and Peru, and if your familiar with Brian Forster's

1004
01:31:59.319 --> 01:32:02.680
work eels a lot of these,
is that these symbols are tied to Arcane,

1005
01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:09.279
the studiously ignored archaeological site on the
Russian Steps with a layout so closely

1006
01:32:09.319 --> 01:32:15.239
resembling that of Troy, deemed Swastika
City due to the prevalence of Swastka's discovered

1007
01:32:15.239 --> 01:32:18.920
in the area, also dubbed the
Russian Stone Hinge and dating back at least

1008
01:32:18.920 --> 01:32:24.880
four thousand years, though recent evidence
indicates five to six thousand years may be

1009
01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:30.079
a better estimate, and its construction
indicates that the builders imagine if David Bowie's

1010
01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:38.319
song was Swastika City instead of Suffragette. Ah hey Man had advanced astronomical knowledge,

1011
01:32:38.560 --> 01:32:42.960
and the site itself may have been
something of an observatory one which was

1012
01:32:43.039 --> 01:32:49.239
mysteriously burned down and abandoned essentially overnight. Because this site exists in that vast

1013
01:32:49.279 --> 01:32:55.119
area representing the stomping grounds of those
ancient Arians who left almost no written records,

1014
01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:59.520
are old friends the Scythians, it's
important to speak about the likely connections

1015
01:32:59.560 --> 01:33:03.359
here. There's a little bit of
lack of continuity here they're showing Peru and

1016
01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:06.840
elongated skulls after they were just talking
about Russia, so it's kind of confusing

1017
01:33:06.840 --> 01:33:12.239
if you're not reading the screen.
It's well known that there were extensive contacts,

1018
01:33:12.279 --> 01:33:18.079
and that's actually a frame from a
Brian Forrester Excavation or whatever or whatever

1019
01:33:18.439 --> 01:33:20.720
is one of his books that shows
it on the bottom, I said his

1020
01:33:20.800 --> 01:33:26.760
name. It's between the Scythians and
Greeks, with royal Scythians intermarrying often with

1021
01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:32.880
Greeks and Thracians and often providing elite
military squadrons and bodyguard contingents to protect leadership,

1022
01:33:33.560 --> 01:33:38.000
similar to the Praetorian Guard which would
later make its appearance in Rome.

1023
01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:43.199
The Achaeans and Dorians were said to
have come from the region it must be

1024
01:33:43.479 --> 01:33:47.159
hard to be a one handed bowhunter, and so the Danyard has quoted verb

1025
01:33:47.239 --> 01:33:54.520
sorry when armed by j bagmanbery.
Earlier, the Scythians, occupying vast tracts

1026
01:33:54.560 --> 01:34:00.279
of territory north of Greece, claimed
Heracles also known as Hercules, as the

1027
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:04.359
progenitor of their race, and the
Dorians pushed down into Greece has long been

1028
01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:10.319
known as the return of the Heraclidae
and was seen as the reclaiming of land

1029
01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:15.000
that was rightfully theirs granted to them
by their own progenitor, Heracles. Damn,

1030
01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:18.399
he's got luskin on his God,
just like I do love it.

1031
01:34:19.279 --> 01:34:24.920
Such was the strong connection between the
Greeks and Scythians that the two peoples named

1032
01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:30.359
the Calapida and the Alazonus on the
border between Greece and Scythian lands were essentially

1033
01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:35.560
a blend between the two. Achilles, widely hailed as the greatest of those

1034
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:43.119
Greeks who fought at Troy may have
been both Greek and Scythian himself. Byzantine

1035
01:34:43.199 --> 01:34:47.079
historian Leo the Deacon, quoting the
more ancient Greek historian Ariane of Nicomedia,

1036
01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:51.960
outright says that Achilles was a Scythian
who had been banished to Thessaly due to

1037
01:34:53.039 --> 01:34:57.319
his hot temper. Alcaeus, the
Greek poet of the sixth century BCA,

1038
01:34:57.600 --> 01:35:02.399
referred to Achilles as the Lord of
Pythia during the war with the Trojans.

1039
01:35:02.439 --> 01:35:08.359
There are multiple offhand references in the
Dictus Cretensis to Greek and Scythian cooperation,

1040
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:14.239
especially between Achilles and the Scythian king. Arriving back with Achilles after he'd engaged

1041
01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:18.840
in multiple coastal raids on troyad posts, the Scythian king quote, having learned

1042
01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:25.359
that our men had arrived, came
and brought many gifts. Much of the

1043
01:35:25.399 --> 01:35:29.600
gold artwork of these two peoples was
so similar that many Scythian pieces were long

1044
01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:32.520
thought to be Greek in origin,
and it's thought that the Scythian curved bow

1045
01:35:32.840 --> 01:35:40.199
was adopted by the Greeks. The
Dorian and Scythian genealogies match astonishingly well each

1046
01:35:40.239 --> 01:35:45.359
hearkening back to three brothers in which
power was granted to the youngest, and

1047
01:35:45.520 --> 01:35:49.479
speak of three social divisions, akin
to a producer class, a priest class,

1048
01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:55.800
and a warrior class. The Scythians
were everywhere referred to by Greek writers

1049
01:35:55.840 --> 01:36:00.680
as warriors who held all things in
common aside from their sword and drinking cup,

1050
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:05.399
and the Spartiates were spoken of as
having similar customs. So it's interesting

1051
01:36:05.439 --> 01:36:11.560
to compare this to the line from
Plato's Critias, who, in discussing Atlantis

1052
01:36:11.600 --> 01:36:15.479
and the origins of the Hellenic people, speaks of, quote, a superior

1053
01:36:15.520 --> 01:36:20.359
class of warriors who dwelt apart and
were educated and had all things in common

1054
01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:26.920
like our guardians. And then later
he goes on to state quote, and

1055
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:30.520
so they passed their lives as guardians
of the citizens and leaders of the Hellenes.

1056
01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:35.800
They were a just and famous race, celebrated for their beauty and virtue

1057
01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:41.840
all over Europe and Asia. Now, before we go further here, it's

1058
01:36:41.880 --> 01:36:45.239
important to make clear that I'm not
claiming the Greeks were Scythians any more than

1059
01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:50.880
I'm claiming these Scythians were Greeks,
but rather that these two labels conceal another

1060
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:57.039
labeling mechanism. It was likely more
widely used and more comfortable to those in

1061
01:36:57.039 --> 01:37:02.600
the ancient world. The Ancestral,
the Hellenic and Scythian appear more like two

1062
01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:11.039
branches from a single route. It
gets even more interesting. Herodotus mentions three

1063
01:37:11.119 --> 01:37:15.680
nations or their royal houses, tracing
back to Heracles, who again I can't

1064
01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:19.399
help but believe was a very real
person, even if many of the tales

1065
01:37:19.439 --> 01:37:26.479
of his specific deeds might be inventions
or exaggerations. These three nations are the

1066
01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:31.279
Scythians, the Dorians, and the
Lydians. Lydian was the name for those

1067
01:37:31.319 --> 01:37:36.079
occupying the region of Troy. And
so once again we find a direct genetic

1068
01:37:36.159 --> 01:37:43.119
tie that binds the major powers of
the day, and finally to tie virtually

1069
01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:46.039
the whole of the ancient world together. We've already mentioned that the Buddha was

1070
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:53.359
almost certainly of Aryan stock of the
Saka or Sakai people, but Ashoka as

1071
01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:58.720
well, widely hailed as one of
India's greatest rulers, a famed conqueror turned

1072
01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:03.880
Buddhist peacemaker responsible for the Ashoka Chakra, which became the basis for the Indian

1073
01:38:03.960 --> 01:38:10.960
flag and bears a striking resemblance to
the royal symbol of Macedonia was of Greek

1074
01:38:11.000 --> 01:38:15.560
descent. The famous Ashoka Pillars,
which show a connection to both Greek and

1075
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:21.760
Persian architecture, were among the most
prominent targets of Muslim iconoclasm, with only

1076
01:38:21.760 --> 01:38:28.359
a few remaining intact in the present
day. The Persian ruling elite, the

1077
01:38:28.399 --> 01:38:33.760
Acameninids, note the linguistic similarity here
to the Achaean marked their descent from Achimenes,

1078
01:38:34.399 --> 01:38:41.199
son of Perseus, half brother of
Heracles. Ancient Persia was the epitome

1079
01:38:41.279 --> 01:38:44.800
of an Aryan empire prior to their
conquest of much of the known world,

1080
01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:48.399
turning them into a stew of varied
peoples, much like Rome would become.

1081
01:38:48.479 --> 01:38:55.439
Later. Persia would develop close ties
with Lydia and thus considered the Trojan War

1082
01:38:55.520 --> 01:38:59.239
and affront by the Greeks, and
this was the catalyst for so much bad

1083
01:38:59.279 --> 01:39:03.760
blood and fear suture conflict between Greek
and Persian. In fact, Herodotus opens

1084
01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:09.720
his landmark work Histories recounting the Persian
opinion of the war as the fault of

1085
01:39:09.760 --> 01:39:15.359
the Greeks and their claimed that the
incident with Helen was an overreaction, siding

1086
01:39:15.399 --> 01:39:18.760
with the Trojan perspective that she'd not
have gone back to Troy with Priam unless

1087
01:39:18.760 --> 01:39:24.680
she wanted to. It's said that
the Phoenetians set all this in motion initially

1088
01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:29.760
people the Greeks seemed to be as
closely related to the later Trojans by carrying

1089
01:39:29.800 --> 01:39:33.239
off the Greek royal Io, the
daughter of the king of Argos and Nakis

1090
01:39:33.439 --> 01:39:40.319
to Egypt. So I just wanted
to double jack and verify. So I

1091
01:39:40.439 --> 01:39:45.399
just pulled out the or Linda book
PDF, and I searched for Leda y

1092
01:39:45.479 --> 01:39:49.079
Da and yeah, that was one
of the three daughters, right, So

1093
01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:56.079
you had Rayah, which the Frisians, you know, put in the highest

1094
01:39:56.079 --> 01:40:00.479
position, and then Finda and Leda
and Lada were the darker haired ones.

1095
01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:04.119
And they just had a place down
here called Lydia, which I think may

1096
01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:11.960
have some connection to those names,
in Finda being Finnish Finnish right Finland.

1097
01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:16.279
The Finns. The Greeks are said
to have retaliate courtesy of an incident entire

1098
01:40:16.520 --> 01:40:20.520
where the Greeks were accused of stealing
away the king's daughter Europa, and then

1099
01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:26.000
in a second incident in which the
Greeks, likely Jason himself from the story

1100
01:40:26.039 --> 01:40:30.399
of Jason and the Argonauts, carried
off Medea, another king's daughter. See

1101
01:40:30.439 --> 01:40:33.439
how it's coming together, See how
this is connected to what we were talking

1102
01:40:33.439 --> 01:40:39.560
about before. We're watching before with
Ammon. Regardless of the spark that ignited

1103
01:40:39.600 --> 01:40:42.960
the blaze, I believe the Battle
of Troy really was all it was made

1104
01:40:43.000 --> 01:40:45.279
out to be. It's like filling
in some more of the details for us,

1105
01:40:45.600 --> 01:40:50.720
a clash of lions, highly skilled
warriors and their prime fighting for honor

1106
01:40:50.920 --> 01:40:56.520
and glory, to be sure,
but also to decide, as the Dictus

1107
01:40:56.560 --> 01:41:00.439
cretensis states, who would rule the
world. And indeed, Troy's fall made

1108
01:41:00.479 --> 01:41:03.600
it possible for the Greeks to carve
out and empire the likes of which few

1109
01:41:03.640 --> 01:41:09.279
powers would ever equal. I never
had Dictus cretentis, but I think there

1110
01:41:09.319 --> 01:41:13.279
is a cream for that. And
depending on whether you believe ancient historians or

1111
01:41:13.399 --> 01:41:18.520
modern academics provided the root stock in
both Rome and Britain of future empires,

1112
01:41:18.520 --> 01:41:23.399
they would one day do the same. As a large party of defeated Trojans

1113
01:41:23.479 --> 01:41:30.279
was forced to relocate to these distant
outposts after their loss. Virgil's Aneiid,

1114
01:41:30.520 --> 01:41:34.960
among several other accounts, reports the
royal Aeneas escaping the destruction of Troy and

1115
01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:40.680
making his way to Italy, as
his grandson Brutus is said to have journeyed

1116
01:41:40.720 --> 01:41:45.800
to Britain, founding a city he
called New Troy, later known as London.

1117
01:41:46.079 --> 01:41:51.319
Though several BBC articles and assorted academics
mock and deride this tale, I've

1118
01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:56.960
yet to see any evidence overturning the
scores of more ancient accounts which plainly saw

1119
01:41:56.960 --> 01:42:00.760
this event as factual. And I'm
going to say that we're probably going to

1120
01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:04.279
go fifteen minutes over, and I
hope that doesn't mess up. What was

that's not going to be changing things or

01:42:30.359 --> 01:42:33.800
adding chapters that were never there before. Because that happened. That happened,

1127
01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:39.239
and uh yeah, so there you
go. I'm sure that's the copy that

1128
01:42:39.279 --> 01:42:45.000
they gave to the fake skinheads to
get those idiots to go along with the

1129

federal agent contrived little bullshit actions that
they created so that they could have real,

1130
01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:56.640
live anti Semitics they could point out
and say, see, look it

1131
01:42:56.720 --> 01:43:01.479
exists. Until the last century,
it was universe accepted. To give one

1132
01:43:01.479 --> 01:43:05.479

use could be al for ten percent off

1133
01:43:05.520 --> 01:43:10.680
if you pick up anything over at
money tree Publishing dot com. The historian

1134
01:43:10.680 --> 01:43:15.319
Geoffrey of Monmouth cites an intriguing letter
from the British king quote Casseblon, King

1135
01:43:15.359 --> 01:43:19.920
of the Britons, to Caius Julius
Caesar. We cannot but wonder, Caesar,

1136
01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:25.199
at the avarice of the Roman people, since their insatiable thirst after money

1137
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:28.600
cannot let us alone, whom the
dangers of the ocean have placed in a

1138
01:43:28.640 --> 01:43:31.600
manner out of the world. But
they must have the presumption to covet our

1139
01:43:31.680 --> 01:43:38.199
substance, which we had hitherto enjoyed
in quiet. Neither is this indeed sufficient.

1140
01:43:38.840 --> 01:43:43.319
We must also prefer subjection and slavery
to them before the enjoyment of our

1141
01:43:43.399 --> 01:43:48.479
native liberty. Your demand, therefore, Caesar, is scandalous, since the

1142
01:43:48.560 --> 01:43:55.479
same vein of nobility flows from eneas
in Britain and Romans, and one and

1143
01:43:55.560 --> 01:44:00.520
the same chain of consanguinity shines in
both, which ought to be a band

1144
01:44:00.560 --> 01:44:03.680
of firm union and friendship. That
was what you should have demanded of us,

1145
01:44:04.000 --> 01:44:09.520
not slavery. We have learned to
admit of the one, but never

1146
01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:13.840
to bear the other. And so
much we have been accustomed to liberty that

1147
01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:17.720
we are perfectly ignorant what it is
to submit to slavery. And even if

1148
01:44:17.760 --> 01:44:23.279
the gods themselves should attempt to deprive
us of our liberty, we would to

1149
01:44:23.319 --> 01:44:29.640
the utmost of our power resist them
in the defense of it. Yes versus

1150
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:38.720
God, fearing right versus this,
the God fearers, the yaoists. No,

1151
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:42.840
it doesn't matter who is going to
try to take away your freedom.

1152
01:44:43.439 --> 01:44:47.720
They would defend themselves. Even if
God himself came down and tried to subjugate

1153
01:44:47.800 --> 01:44:53.920
them, it would not go down
with them. Know, then, Caesar,

1154
01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:57.600
that we are ready to fight for
that and our kingdom, if,

1155
01:44:57.840 --> 01:45:02.319
as you threaten, you shall attempt
to invade written. Unfortunately, it's not

1156
01:45:02.399 --> 01:45:08.159
my aim in this video to recount
the battles themselves. Homer's poetic account of

1157
01:45:08.199 --> 01:45:12.920
the hostilities is without parallel here,
but I did want to mention a few

1158
01:45:12.920 --> 01:45:18.359
of the lesser known elements. First, the Dictus account mentions Amazon's coming to

1159
01:45:18.359 --> 01:45:25.640
assist Troy and Achilles himself striking their
leader with his spear before then seizing her

1160
01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:29.960
by her hair to pull her off
her horse, an event immortalized in several

1161
01:45:30.000 --> 01:45:34.199
sculptures, since the hero and his
fiery Greeks were in no mood to be

1162
01:45:34.239 --> 01:45:38.920
as kind to the Amazons as the
Scythians had been in their earlier encounters.

1163
01:45:40.000 --> 01:45:45.920
Quote. Finding Penthesilia still half alive, we marveled at her brazen boldness.

1164
01:45:45.880 --> 01:45:50.079
Almost immediately a meeting was held to
determine her fate, and it was decided

1165
01:45:50.119 --> 01:45:55.279
to throw her, while still alive
enough to have feeling, either into the

1166
01:45:55.359 --> 01:46:00.000
river to drown or for the dogs
to tear apart, for she had transgred

1167
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:06.000
rest the bounds of nature and her
sex. Because I was a foreign idea,

1168
01:46:06.079 --> 01:46:13.960
Where the hell did that come from? Right? Would influence that?

1169
01:46:13.960 --> 01:46:18.720
That's a very patriarchical position to take, knowing damn well where these people came

1170
01:46:18.760 --> 01:46:26.000
from originally, not what they felt
about their women. That's a very injected

1171
01:46:27.239 --> 01:46:31.600
sensibility, there are a lack of
sensibility. What the fuck kind of feels

1172
01:46:31.640 --> 01:46:35.279
like the old priest craft creeping in
there, doesn't it? Because the hostilities

1173
01:46:35.399 --> 01:46:41.000
raged for ten long years, the
Greeks even farmed the land nearby Troy's walls

1174
01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:45.359
to keep the army fed, and
both sides reportedly took long breaks over winter.

1175
01:46:45.399 --> 01:46:49.359
Trojan and Greek even mixed freely,
and the sacred grow during this time.

1176
01:46:50.039 --> 01:46:54.720
There's also mention of games and sports
in the long period between battles,

1177
01:46:55.239 --> 01:46:59.560
including an archery contest in which a
dove was suspended high in the air owned

1178
01:46:59.600 --> 01:47:04.000
by a between two masts. Ulysses
and Marionis were said to have been the

1179
01:47:04.039 --> 01:47:08.119
only ones that hit the mark,
only to be outdone by the winner,

1180
01:47:08.319 --> 01:47:13.359
Philocttes, who claimed and then proceeded
to prove he could cut the string itself

1181
01:47:13.439 --> 01:47:17.000
with his first arrow. Achilles,
it said, awarded him a double prize

1182
01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:23.800
for this feat. The massive Ajax
carried off all prizes for the boxing matches,

1183
01:47:24.439 --> 01:47:27.760
and it said that Diomedes won the
foot race, which took place in

1184
01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:30.680
full armor, a contest which would
later go on to be one of the

1185
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:35.119
most popular Olympic events. Finally,
this minus the armor. Of course,

1186
01:47:35.479 --> 01:47:40.840
this wasn't just a battle of sword
and spear, chariots and cavalry. Those

1187
01:47:40.960 --> 01:47:44.880
main stays of the ruling cast of
the ancient world were used far more often

1188
01:47:44.880 --> 01:47:48.800
than one might suspect based on popular
accounts, especially by the heroes and the

1189
01:47:48.920 --> 01:47:55.760
leaders themselves. One of the many
reasons I've always looked back in humbled awe

1190
01:47:55.880 --> 01:48:00.600
at the history of the Riyan peoples
is their track record of flexible and adaptive

1191
01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:05.439
problem solving ability, the very definition
of intelligence. It strikes me that the

1192
01:48:05.439 --> 01:48:11.520
true test here, when faced with
a vastly complex problem with hidden variables and

1193
01:48:11.640 --> 01:48:15.960
unknowns and often no clear and simple
historical precedent to draw from with regards to

1194
01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:21.399
solving it, is this, does
one crumble under the weight, run or

1195
01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:26.760
hide, or engage in mental gymnastics
to pretend the problem doesn't really exist?

1196
01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:31.680
Or does one find the energy and
strengthen spirit to face the problem head on

1197
01:48:32.520 --> 01:48:38.760
and work to create right order and
healthy structure in the face of our natural

1198
01:48:38.760 --> 01:48:45.600
inclination as human beings towards chaos and
can I ask, am I does anybody

1199
01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:51.960
else have this issue where you're I
think it's what we're made of I don't

1200
01:48:53.000 --> 01:49:00.680
know, male whatever, But are
we not instinctively problem solvers kind of like

1201
01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:04.439
grind our gears in a way to
or we just can't comprehend the illogical,

1202
01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:11.600
you know, approach of people who
complain about things. But when you try

1203
01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:18.439
to assist, they don't want your
help providing them with suggestions or you attempt

1204
01:49:18.520 --> 01:49:25.359
to intervene or stand up for or
anything like that, And it's not it's

1205
01:49:25.439 --> 01:49:30.319
not perceived well right, I mean, it's kind of a strange thing.

1206
01:49:30.359 --> 01:49:36.720
And never mind, I'm moving on
a generation. This problem solving ability is

1207
01:49:36.760 --> 01:49:41.119
of the highest and broadest sort.
And does he not just say the same

1208
01:49:41.159 --> 01:49:46.239
thing I just said at the next
line. We are. It's not the

1209
01:49:46.359 --> 01:49:51.439
silly, bookish understanding of intelligence and
education that modern schooling so drills into our

1210
01:49:51.479 --> 01:49:58.319
heads, where by children are rewarded
for memorization and regurgitation of facts, but

1211
01:49:58.399 --> 01:50:03.560
a multi fasted merit, capable of
adapting and adjusting to anything thrown its way,

1212
01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:10.039
capable of creative and independent thought.
Not the follower of rule books and

1213
01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:16.880
guides, but capable of creating them
when the need arises. I wanted to

1214
01:50:16.920 --> 01:50:21.119
end this video dedicated to a prime
example of this and highlighting a people that

1215
01:50:21.199 --> 01:50:28.159
represent a tall peak in the history
of human achievement. The famed Spartans were

1216
01:50:28.199 --> 01:50:30.600
a branch of the Dorians, who
in turn were a branch of the Achaeans.

1217
01:50:31.239 --> 01:50:35.680
And they weren't always those Spartans we've
come to know of today. Initially

1218
01:50:35.720 --> 01:50:40.600
when their world seemed pleasant and well
ordered, they were, by all accounts,

1219
01:50:40.640 --> 01:50:45.439
a pleasure loving folk, fond of
dance, song, pioneers and music,

1220
01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:50.520
known for beautiful pottery and the most
delicate and intricate ivory carvings with their

1221
01:50:50.560 --> 01:50:55.199
sub conscious shape. By the events
following the Trojan War, in which their

1222
01:50:55.239 --> 01:51:00.039
Dorian forefathers weren't allowed to return home, and subsequently observing a rye and degeneracy

1223
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:05.920
and mod revolts falling away of discipline
and order, they put away these habits

1224
01:51:06.079 --> 01:51:10.960
almost overnight, under the guiding hand
of a man named Lake Curgis. They

1225
01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:16.279
were to reshape themselves into a martial
elite without equal capable of Now that's impressive.

1226
01:51:16.880 --> 01:51:20.760
They became what they needed to be
in order to preserve themselves governing over

1227
01:51:20.800 --> 01:51:26.439
a certain Take heed to that and
pay attention to that example. Bile class

1228
01:51:26.439 --> 01:51:30.720
Aphellots that outnumbered them at times nearly
ten to one. This was a people

1229
01:51:30.720 --> 01:51:35.119
that sought to be masters of men, not through deceit or trickery or manipulation,

1230
01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:42.039
but by being harder on themselves than
those around them, and thus crafting

1231
01:51:42.039 --> 01:51:46.239
themselves into individuals not only worthy of
dominance, but fully capable of acquiring and

1232
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:51.479
maintaining it. The Spartans came up
with their own take on colonization. They

1233
01:51:51.520 --> 01:51:57.800
turned their eyes west and began to
wonder what opportunities there were beyond the mountains.

1234
01:51:58.680 --> 01:52:01.199
It was there that they would go
to satisfy their land hunger. It

1235
01:52:01.279 --> 01:52:05.800
was there that Shangri La would reveal
its darker side, because it was there

1236
01:52:06.119 --> 01:52:14.600
that a slave nation would be created
to serve the Spartan master race. Again,

1237
01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:18.640
something that wouldn't fly with the core
royal Cynthians, the warrior class,

1238
01:52:24.680 --> 01:52:30.000
but I think you can understand their
frustration seeing themselves as an aristocratic elite.

1239
01:52:30.199 --> 01:52:34.399
They aimed to prove this by being
this clearly to all, and in doing

1240
01:52:34.439 --> 01:52:41.239
so created a societal framework geared towards
a single purpose, the cultivation of warriors

1241
01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:46.239
as a first step to prevent corruption. Like krgis forbade any citizen to engage

1242
01:52:46.279 --> 01:52:51.319
in commerce amusingly, and I love
the fact that that's an element all the

1243
01:52:51.399 --> 01:52:58.439
time. Creatively, he limited currency
to the use of cumbersome iron spits to

1244
01:52:58.479 --> 01:53:01.560
the extent that even a moderate per
just might require enough to quote fill a

1245
01:53:01.600 --> 01:53:08.720
good sized wagon. Like Hergus was
equally disdainful towards democracy, which most noble

1246
01:53:08.760 --> 01:53:13.119
Greeks of the day viewed as mob
rule ultimately a system at the whim even

1247
01:53:13.159 --> 01:53:17.920
back then. So there's there's some
contention here. There's some argument here about

1248
01:53:18.880 --> 01:53:25.000
what democracy used to mean, and
we need to restore the name. I

1249
01:53:25.000 --> 01:53:30.680
think it's I think that might be
a little bit of either either Asha Logos

1250
01:53:30.760 --> 01:53:33.640
is looking at it from a more
modern view, or he's looking at the

1251
01:53:33.720 --> 01:53:38.600
sources themselves, and they're saying that
the use that they perceived it as mob

1252
01:53:38.680 --> 01:53:44.039
rule even back then, or a
sneaky way to get to that socialism dependency,

1253
01:53:44.560 --> 01:53:48.640
and then you know what we would
today call communism. So I don't

1254
01:53:48.680 --> 01:53:56.239
know the democracy thing the way it's
used now and the way apparently the Spartans

1255
01:53:56.399 --> 01:54:00.600
perceived it. I think there's something
we should consider there, because most certainly

1256
01:54:01.039 --> 01:54:08.000
democracy the way they talk about it
now is, as Bill Cooper had mentioned,

1257
01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:15.560
the youth founders of Marxism, and
well, not the founders of communism,

1258
01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:19.199
but the funders of Marxism. Mister
Karl himself, I believe was the

1259
01:54:19.199 --> 01:54:25.119
one, or maybe was. Lyndon
said that democracy is the stepping stone or

1260
01:54:25.159 --> 01:54:31.479
the gateway to socialism and socialisms.
Its end goal is communism right and of

1261
01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:36.520
those who are most willing and able
to deceive, manipulate, and control the

1262
01:54:36.600 --> 01:54:42.960
mob. Legend has it that when
confronted by a supporter of democracy, he

1263
01:54:43.159 --> 01:54:47.000
urged the man to quote, start
with your own family. Unlike Athens,

1264
01:54:47.000 --> 01:54:51.159
who would eventually shift in this general
direction. Prior to its decline, Sparta

1265
01:54:51.279 --> 01:54:56.439
was to be shaped into a hierarchy
of merit, self, discipline, hardness,

1266
01:54:56.520 --> 01:55:00.439
and courage. At the age of
seven, their boys were sent to

1267
01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:04.960
live in a communal militaristic barracks,
undergo a well rounded education with a militaristic

1268
01:55:05.000 --> 01:55:10.279
focus, and we're encouraged to make
their own beds from reeds, to sleep

1269
01:55:10.319 --> 01:55:15.079
outside, and even haze and spar
with each other in the concert. When

1270
01:55:15.079 --> 01:55:17.199
you look at what was happening around
them, to the people that they were

1271
01:55:18.119 --> 01:55:23.920
skin with, and seeing the degradation. It's like it's it'd be like seeing

1272
01:55:24.000 --> 01:55:29.199
what's happening to here and wanting to
branch off and understanding that something's coming.

1273
01:55:29.520 --> 01:55:33.199
You can't be that weak and expect
nothing to happen to that society. You

1274
01:55:33.239 --> 01:55:36.800
could understand. I mean, all
of this makes sense to me, makes

1275
01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:41.720
perfect sense. That they became what
they needed to become in order to fill

1276
01:55:41.760 --> 01:55:45.640
that spot that needed to be filled, and they had the tenacity to do

1277
01:55:45.720 --> 01:55:50.560
so. And I think like,
if you're looking at Berlin and in the

1278
01:55:50.600 --> 01:55:57.520
depravity that was occurring, mister Hitler
did the same. He became what he

1279
01:55:57.560 --> 01:56:02.439
needed to become. Constructive manner of
brothers seeking to improve from one another,

1280
01:56:03.680 --> 01:56:08.960
Spartan girls at the same age were
sent to learn dance and gymnastics, and

1281
01:56:09.000 --> 01:56:13.960
were even taught to ridicule the boys
to toughen their skin. In the infamous

1282
01:56:13.960 --> 01:56:16.960
contest of endurance at the Altar of
Artemis, cheese was placed at the top,

1283
01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:21.199
as the boys would compete to reach
it, being flogged as they attempted

1284
01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:26.319
to do so. The best of
these children would graduate to the right of

1285
01:56:26.439 --> 01:56:31.159
passage of the Cryptia. According to
Plutarch, every autumn the Spartan ephors would

1286
01:56:31.199 --> 01:56:34.720
formally declare, here, let me
go ahead and just read this cryptia or

1287
01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:42.960
cryptia with a K meaning hidden secret
things cryptic. Right, so we get

1288
01:56:42.960 --> 01:56:46.760
the word organized by the ruling class
of Sparta, a mixture of secret police

1289
01:56:46.880 --> 01:56:53.479
and elite forces training. How cool
when it's done in the right way.

1290
01:56:53.520 --> 01:56:58.760
Now, when it's freaking j run
government coming into no knock radio at three

1291
01:56:58.800 --> 01:57:00.960
am to murder you and your fans. Not that type of secret police,

1292
01:57:01.039 --> 01:57:09.159
not the Cheka, not the FBI, the war on Helots, allowing any

1293
01:57:09.199 --> 01:57:13.880
Spartan to kill a helot if he
felt wholly justified in doing so. Young

1294
01:57:13.920 --> 01:57:17.920
Spartans would then roam the Laconian countryside
armed with knives, targeting the most rebellious

1295
01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:21.399
among their subjects. But to add
to the challenge, they were forced to

1296
01:57:21.399 --> 01:57:27.800
do so in secret, for to
be caught meant a severe flogging, teaching

1297
01:57:27.800 --> 01:57:35.439
them like assassin skills. You know
what do they call that? Oh?

1298
01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:39.960
I can't think of the new word
right now. To be not merely strong,

1299
01:57:40.479 --> 01:57:44.000
but also stealthy. Stealth was the
word I was looking for. Yes,

1300
01:57:44.079 --> 01:57:49.119
thank you, Asha logos A quick
and confident Only those who showed success

1301
01:57:49.199 --> 01:57:54.960
here were likely to attain positions of
leadership, restricting the command of Spartan armaments

1302
01:57:55.039 --> 01:58:00.880
to the most tried and true.
Even their music became marshall, and their

1303
01:58:00.880 --> 01:58:04.479
famed phalanx was known to advance at
walking speed, accompanied by rhythmic music and

1304
01:58:04.640 --> 01:58:10.239
chance practice. You wouldn't expect a
culture like that to be singing jingles and

1305
01:58:10.279 --> 01:58:13.279
pop songs while they're going into war. Of course, it would be war

1306
01:58:13.399 --> 01:58:18.479
songs who would be befitting of the
mindset They studied intently. They laughed at

1307
01:58:18.479 --> 01:58:23.840
the concept of walls as contrary to
their nature, and the Spartan king at

1308
01:58:23.880 --> 01:58:28.960
Jesilaus, when touring neighboring cities walls
and defenses, was said to have remarked

1309
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:32.760
fine quarters for women, and when
asked where his own walls were, he

1310
01:58:32.840 --> 01:58:40.000
pointed to his troops, saying,
these are Spartans walls. Though their prowess

1311
01:58:40.079 --> 01:58:44.560
was universally recognized by their neighbors,
they were far from bullie and in fact

1312
01:58:44.600 --> 01:58:49.199
were known to be notoriously cautious about
committing to wars, often showing tremendous restraint

1313
01:58:49.600 --> 01:58:53.800
when allies would ask for their aid. The Spartans were known to send a

1314
01:58:53.840 --> 01:58:59.039
single tactician or advisor rather than an
army, similar to the Germans lending out

1315
01:58:59.039 --> 01:59:04.680
their general or officer's staff to their
allies. Punishment for cowards was extremely severe

1316
01:59:05.000 --> 01:59:11.079
because it was engaged in naturally by
the entire community, a bit like Amish

1317
01:59:11.239 --> 01:59:15.640
shunning, but far more impactful.
Peers were embarrassed to share a meal with

1318
01:59:15.720 --> 01:59:19.520
them. They were left out of
sporting events, had to give the right

1319
01:59:19.520 --> 01:59:24.000
of way on the streets, had
to turn over their seats at events to

1320
01:59:24.079 --> 01:59:28.479
younger men. Women refused to marry
them. They were often forced to wear

1321
01:59:28.479 --> 01:59:33.239
embarrassing rags and sport half shaven beards. In short, until they reversed their

1322
01:59:33.279 --> 01:59:38.520
shame. They were second class citizens, and they were made to feel this

1323
01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:43.600
difference, much like the Scythians.
Although the spartan women's place was at home

1324
01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:47.640
and hearth devoted to that most important
professions of shaping the next generation, they

1325
01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:53.399
were shown great respect. Even the
least of them were apparently highly prized,

1326
01:59:53.520 --> 02:00:01.000
and this is super key to any
strong society. The family. It's the

1327
02:00:01.039 --> 02:00:08.680
most important thing paid as nannies and
caretakers by their Greeks, and there's a

1328
02:00:08.720 --> 02:00:12.720
well known story of an attic Greek
woman once asking how is it you Spartan

1329
02:00:12.760 --> 02:00:15.680
women are the only ones who exercise
some control over your men, only to

1330
02:00:15.680 --> 02:00:19.720
receive the reply because we are the
only ones that give birth to men.

1331
02:00:21.359 --> 02:00:26.840
Did everything they say is badass?
I love it. In our age,

1332
02:00:26.960 --> 02:00:31.720
weak and degenerate individuals largely call the
tune and have worked to equate healthy masculinity

1333
02:00:31.800 --> 02:00:36.720
with brutish stupidity, and many have
no doubt come to view the Spartans themselves

1334
02:00:36.800 --> 02:00:44.640
in this mold. Socrates corrects us
here quote they conceal their wisdom and pretend

1335
02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:47.199
to be blockheads, so that they
may seem to be superior only because of

1336
02:00:47.199 --> 02:00:50.800
their prowess in battle. This is
how you may know that I am speaking

1337
02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:55.840
the truth, and that the Spartans
are the best educated in philosophy and speaking.

1338
02:00:56.720 --> 02:00:59.800
If you talk to any ordinary Spartan, he seems to be stupid,

1339
02:01:00.279 --> 02:01:03.760
but eventually, like an expert marksman, he shoots in some brief remark that

1340
02:01:03.920 --> 02:01:10.640
proves you to be a child into
court. And though they spoke little,

1341
02:01:10.720 --> 02:01:15.680
what few offerings they did provide reverberate
down through the ages. The King of

1342
02:01:15.720 --> 02:01:19.520
Macedonia and Alexander the Great's father,
Philip the Second, far from a weak

1343
02:01:19.560 --> 02:01:25.560
man himself reportedly flew into a rage
at the Spartan sending just one ambassador,

1344
02:01:26.079 --> 02:01:30.560
as opposed to the usual retin to
deal with him. Hi the ambassador replied

1345
02:01:30.680 --> 02:01:36.800
one ambassador to one king. After
invading Greece and attaining several victories, Philip

1346
02:01:36.800 --> 02:01:42.399
sent a message saying, if I
invade Laconia, You'll be destroyed, never

1347
02:01:42.439 --> 02:01:46.119
to rise again. The Spartans,
confident they could stop him before he'd done

1348
02:01:46.159 --> 02:01:53.199
so, replied with a single word. If meeting the Persian governor of the

1349
02:01:53.239 --> 02:01:57.600
sea coast of Asia, Hydarnes,
they refused to fall before him and do

1350
02:01:57.720 --> 02:02:01.760
obeisance as all other nations had,
stating it wasn't their custom to worship men,

1351
02:02:02.399 --> 02:02:06.119
and that they hadn't come to Persia
for that purpose. Hi Darnies is

1352
02:02:06.159 --> 02:02:11.560
said to have promised them great rewards, stating, quote, men of laced

1353
02:02:11.600 --> 02:02:15.079
daemon, why will you not consent
to be friends with the king? Ye

1354
02:02:15.119 --> 02:02:17.680
have but to look at me and
my fortune, to see that the king

1355
02:02:17.760 --> 02:02:23.319
knows well how to honor merit in
like manner. Ye yourselves, were ye

1356
02:02:23.359 --> 02:02:26.920
to make your submission to him,
would receive at his hands, seeing that

1357
02:02:27.000 --> 02:02:31.119
he deems you men of merit.
Some government and Greece Hi Darnes. They

1358
02:02:31.159 --> 02:02:36.479
answered, thou art a one sided
counselor thou hast experience of half the matter,

1359
02:02:36.960 --> 02:02:42.640
but the other half is beyond thy
knowledge. A slave's life thou understandest,

1360
02:02:43.119 --> 02:02:46.079
but never having tasted liberty, thou
canst not tell whether it be sweet

1361
02:02:46.239 --> 02:02:51.680
or no Ah. Hadst thou known
what freedom is, thou wouldst have bidden

1362
02:02:51.760 --> 02:02:58.199
us fight for it? End quote, and fight for it they did,

1363
02:02:59.039 --> 02:03:03.239
heavily outnumbered at the famous last stand
at the hot Gates of Thermopylie, facing

1364
02:03:03.239 --> 02:03:08.039
an army anywhere from ten to one
hundred times their size, depending on which

1365
02:03:08.079 --> 02:03:12.960
account one chooses to trust, an
army set to drink rivers dry, and

1366
02:03:13.119 --> 02:03:16.079
fire off enough arrows to blot out
the sun. The Spartans quipped, so

1367
02:03:16.199 --> 02:03:20.439
much the better, we will fight
in the shade, And after again being

1368
02:03:20.439 --> 02:03:26.760
offered wealth and land and other enticements
to put down their arms, they steadfastly

1369
02:03:26.800 --> 02:03:32.439
refused, offering only that ever relevant
reply that echoes through the ages come and

1370
02:03:32.720 --> 02:03:38.880
take. And what was to go
down in history as one of the most

1371
02:03:38.880 --> 02:03:44.880
powerful displays of martial excellence, genuine
courage, and masterful discipline. An army

1372
02:03:44.880 --> 02:03:48.399
of over one hundred thousand men was
held off and delayed for seven days by

1373
02:03:48.399 --> 02:03:54.399
this handful of lofty souls that chose
to sacrifice all for everything they loved best,

1374
02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:59.359
and by doing so bought their armies
enough time to potentially change the course

1375
02:03:59.399 --> 02:04:05.159
of the entire Way War. This
Spartan defense against Persia is analogous to our

1376
02:04:05.199 --> 02:04:13.520
situation today. Spartans considered these late
Empire Persians to be corrupt and degenerate powermongers

1377
02:04:14.079 --> 02:04:18.920
seeking to stamp out freedom and sovereignty. And let's be frank about our situation

1378
02:04:19.079 --> 02:04:25.520
in the West. We stand at
a very real precipice, facing dangers of

1379
02:04:25.560 --> 02:04:30.560
a sort never before experienced by our
predecessors, and must now answer that weightiest

1380
02:04:30.560 --> 02:04:36.920
of questions, to be or not
to be? We stand on the brink

1381
02:04:36.960 --> 02:04:43.760
of collapse. We either find a
means of cultivating and harnessing inspired leadership once

1382
02:04:43.800 --> 02:04:48.000
again in that Marcus Aurelius mold,
those that see power not as a privilege,

1383
02:04:48.279 --> 02:04:51.279
or as a means of personal gain, or as an end in and

1384
02:04:51.399 --> 02:04:58.479
of itself, but as the greatest
of responsibilities, as a burden thoughtfully born

1385
02:04:58.640 --> 02:05:01.720
by a fatherly nature. Oh so, this is a different line that what

1386
02:05:01.800 --> 02:05:05.960
he's saying. This is if not
if it is not right, do not

1387
02:05:06.119 --> 02:05:11.279
do it. If it is not
true, do not say it at the

1388
02:05:11.319 --> 02:05:16.760
head of a household towards a meaningful
end. Or we seed our world and

1389
02:05:16.800 --> 02:05:23.640
its future to the merely ambitious and
the forces they ultimately serve, the whims

1390
02:05:23.720 --> 02:05:29.359
and weasels, the narrow shouldered,
turred parasites. Is that how we go

1391
02:05:29.439 --> 02:05:32.680
down? It looks like hiss heads
been cropped down there, doesn't It doesn't

1392
02:05:32.720 --> 02:05:36.119
look like it's really there. It's
like it's been added on top and there's

1393
02:05:36.119 --> 02:05:40.319
no neck. But they're gonna waiting
for it. I guess I don't know.

1394
02:05:41.960 --> 02:05:48.600
A rootless and clamoring merchant class stamping
out culture and race and exceptional uniqueness

1395
02:05:48.600 --> 02:05:55.479
of any and every kind, and
finally, human spirit itself in the service

1396
02:05:55.600 --> 02:06:00.800
of profit. Margins couched in false
ideals as their cover men who seek the

1397
02:06:00.840 --> 02:06:09.520
destruction of everything natural, conceptions of
family, hierarchy, masculinity and femininity,

1398
02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:16.000
gender itself, and way to war
against everything lofty and exceptional and beautiful.

1399
02:06:16.560 --> 02:06:23.680
Because these ideas are so foreign to
their small and cynical nature, they seek

1400
02:06:23.760 --> 02:06:30.520
a world without depth or peaks,
but rather that even keel of petty materialism,

1401
02:06:30.039 --> 02:06:35.039
each generation a bit smaller and more
tame and more easily controllable than the

1402
02:06:35.119 --> 02:06:43.119
last. So which way, Western
Man? Will the future be controlled by

1403
02:06:43.119 --> 02:06:49.000
the pioneering, adventurous, heroic and
courageous, those always seeking new shores and

1404
02:06:49.079 --> 02:06:58.359
horizons, seeking to create, explore, expand improve in still order and structure

1405
02:06:58.479 --> 02:07:03.560
and purpose? Or will this world
become a marketplace ruled by the dollar,

1406
02:07:04.359 --> 02:07:10.560
and thus ruled by the masters of
the dollar. This is our crossroads.

1407
02:07:12.279 --> 02:07:16.960
After decades of shrinking, of being
constrained and restrained, perhaps it's time to

1408
02:07:17.039 --> 02:07:23.039
stand again, to break free of
these fetters and once again become independent and

1409
02:07:23.079 --> 02:07:28.720
fully formed human beings. If we're
not capable of channeling that discipline, that

1410
02:07:29.119 --> 02:07:32.800
back to basics, clarity of mind, and that courage to face all obstacles

1411
02:07:32.800 --> 02:07:38.359
and challenges, no matter how daunting
they may seem, this world will become

1412
02:07:38.399 --> 02:07:45.399
a very very dark place. The
Spartans made their choice to stand with unbended

1413
02:07:45.439 --> 02:07:50.960
knee loud enough to echo down through
the generations. What will be our echo?

1414
02:08:05.079 --> 02:08:09.680
Great wood end? All right,
we will pick this up. We're

1415
02:08:09.720 --> 02:08:16.159
gonna talk some more about the Scythians
and this ancient history of ours, of

1416
02:08:16.199 --> 02:08:24.680
ours, because it's our identity and
it's about time we remembered it. You

1417
02:08:24.680 --> 02:08:28.119
guys know where the links are to
help out the show much as appreciated.

1418
02:08:28.600 --> 02:08:35.479
There's Creatine, there's hot Sauce,
there's books all at semperfryllc dot com,

1419
02:08:35.920 --> 02:08:39.279
and then there's other links in there
as well. Thank you so much.

1420
02:08:39.880 --> 02:08:45.279
You guys have a great day,
and I appreciate all of you for showing up.
