@@glitchyikes what a load of bs

if you really want your mind blown, look in to Germanic and Romance languages in English and how Romance words like "mansion" for the ruling class, describe the same thing as Gemanic words like "house" for the lower classes.

Apparently England was hit with a series of invasive waves, some were aggressive, some were accepted, beginning with the Romans, and they (Romans) were Germanics whom pushed into Italy, next the Vikings, Norsemen, both Germanics, followed by the Jutes, Angles, Saxons, Normans, all Germanics. The English had been, like the Irish and Welsh, largely of "Basque" lineage. But ... What you will notice is that the "Mainstream Academics" will use "early Hunter Gathers, followed by Farmers", they refer to the Basque as an isolated group, because they speak a language that has never been influenced by "Germanic" and they are a separate line, Rh(-), and their History literally states "We are from Atlantica", (the "Mainstream Academics" deem that myth, I deem the Mainstream Stories largely Myth, but that's a separate subject, I will make a statement at the end.) *Thus, the original English in Britain were originally Basque whom had DNA added from various immigrants, and at some point, likely after the Romans, Vikings, and Norsemen, and probably during the Angles and Saxon waves, the following took place:* (At some point during this era, *the English DNA was affected leaving the following:. Maternal DNA as expected , a continuum with Anglo-Saxon/Germanic influence, others as expected, and *the Paternal/Male DNA was "reduced to less than 2%",* this indicates that all Males, Adult, Adolescent, Children, and Babies, we're removed, aka an "Ethnic Cleansing", which can only mean they were sold into slavery or they were eradicated/killed.)* On this point I find it obvious in the absence of information that someone, removed all written records 9n the subject, the "Mainstream Academics" mention it and make lightly of it, but never elaborate on what happened and when. Now, the British and the Germans are anal about Record Keeping, thus I can only expect that the Royal Family had the records expunged, likely during WWI, when they changed their name to *"Windsor from Saxe Coburg Gotha".* This is my suspicion, so don't quote it as fact, but time will reveal the facts. DNA studies show the era and other details, but I haven't been able to get access to it, I'm thinking it would be an "in person + University Credentials + a particular Gov Authorization" required to get the information. It will eventually get put on the Internet. I am amazed at the lack of interest by the British Public, or they may not know anything about the actual %. I'm not British, but I am Irish of Basque origin, my lineage is from Counties Kerry and Cork, and I was born in the USA, Chicago. ___________________________ "Mainstream Academia particularly Archaeologists" use "a 19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline". This stands in opposition to the Standards of "Science and Research" which forbids using a Theory as Fact. Many 9f them behave quite Dogmatic about the subject. The entire subject is most unsettling, as my degrees involved a great deal 9f emphasis on Research, and my Advisor, PhD and Head of the Department of Sociology was most adamant about the *"Standards of Science and Research"* (Sociologists are the Research hounds, the entire subject is always centered around research, studies, statistics, and data. We are the go to experts that Marketing, Advertising, and other Sciences employ when they want Accurate Data and Findings. My degrees are in Sociology, History, and Journalism, obviously I've done a few hours in Libraries, Classrooms, and on-line, searching. "Authentic Academics" follow the "Standards of Science and Research" and a strict "Code of Ethics". This subject to will find resolution, due to the works in Genetic/DNA Studies and Quantum Physics, Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Mechanics. Findings already exist to sufficiently set aside the "Theory, relative to Modern Humans", it just hasn't been discussed inview 9f the Public. (We need a Free Press) But you can book on it, it will set aside the "Darwinian Model for Modern Humans" and the "All Out of Africa Theory" as well. Both are 8naccurate. You can Quote me on that.

And from Britain, the modern world at large. The smallest island and least among all peoples, became the seat of one of the largest empire's the world has ever known, an empire that was not conquered, but managed to end more or less on its own terms, forming one of, still, the most prolific and advanced cultures to ever exist. The sun of the English speaking world is undoubtedly setting these days, but what cannot be denied is the impact on humanity this one tiny island had.

There's nothing complex about it, the majority of Britain history is about war, greed and rape It has been always like that until England started doing the same thing to other countries

@@bethbartlett5692 super interesting but wasn’t Britain once connected to Europe through Dogger Bank? I’d imagine there’s a possibility there are people left from those times?

No, the Anglo-Saxon and jute invasion of England is quite popular and important part of British history, it's less written and romanticized about, in comparison to the Danelaw 2 centuries later and the Norman and Norwegian invasions in 1066 though. Mainly because the course of events were migratory instead of epic battles being written about this era.

From three centuries of peace and decadence, to hovels and invasion

@Jon Baxter If youre tax farming gentiles, sure. The economic decline of the dark ages begins in the 2nd century

I mean the empire that controls the economy in the area being destroyed by barbarians could probably count as at least a small apocalypse.

@@jonbaxter2254 I mean... I'd argue on the peace and decadence part. Peace and decadence only for the roman citizenry, and the few non-romans who were elevated to citizens. For the rest, you're being exploited to serve an Empire who's capital you will never see. It would be like if America occupied Vietnam and turned it into another american state, but didn't give local vietnamese the chance to vote a representative into Congress. The Celts would've been constantly fighting the Romans, so it's no wonder they pulled back.

It gets even more post-apocalyptic when you consider the volcanic winter that nearly ended humanity in the 6th century. So many civilizations humbled or obliterated by the handful of years that came after that. It’s also probably the inspiration for Ragnarok in Norse Myth.

Whilst asterix books exist armorica will never disappear

'Armorica' in my opinion sounds a lot like America if you ask me.

Armorica also included Normandy, it's not just another name for Brittany.

Yet the Britons were very much barbaric pagans themselves when the Romans Arrived in Britain & the Roman Empire considered the Celts "Barbarians".

Basically anyone who is not "you/your people" are barbarians xD

No joke. The Anglo-Saxons adopted the word barbarian (probably from the welsh or from reading classical Roman texts) and started using it to mean pagan Danes. For instance, document dated 872 refers to “the very pressing affliction and immense tribute of the barbarians, in the same year when the pagans stayed in London.”

I'm surprised that England's favourite mythical hero is actually Welsh.

and then they named the Britons, "Welsh" which means foreigner.

The term Slavs came from word Slowo which means "word" so Slavs or slavonic means people of common tounge. Thats why the first big group of people Slavs do not assimilate where Germanic people in moderb day Germany. In Slavic the word for Germany/Germans is 'Niemcy' which means mute or people who dont understood common tounge ;)

@@kosa9662 In Hungarian too Germany is sill called Németország and Italy is Olaszország (ólah being etymology deriving from the word vlach). Slovenians uses to be called Vend (from Wend which he Germans called Sorbians, Poles etc...) And Slovaks were called Tót. Also Poland is called Lengyelország (I believe this comes from Lechia or some old Polish tribe)

@@kosa9662 Proto-Slav: "*DZIEN *DOBRY" Proto-Germanic: *stares* Proto-Slav: "These axe-wielding people are obviously very polite, therefore the only plausible conclusion for their lack of verbal response is that they are mute and deaf - also none of my descendants will ever need to verify my inference."

Linquistic are very interasting

And yet the real name for the ‘Welsh’ is Cymry meaning ‘fellow countryman’. A word Originating from the Far East

Yeah it was more of a migration of Germanic people who integrated with the Britons. Of course some battles would be fought and they were. But even some Anglo-Saxon kings had Brythonic names. I don't think it was as simple as Britons vs Anglo-Saxons, I almost guarantee that Britons fought each other too and many likely fought alongside the Angles, Jutes and Saxons.

By the time the Danish Vikings had arrived to Britain. The Anglo-Saxons had developed a different culture all together.

A lot of the men of William army were britons from bretagne, poetic 🤔

I'm not sure about Normans having contempt for Germanic cultures. I mean, they identified as being Norsemen in Francia, the Normans used Norman as an endonym while Frank was used by the Anglo-Saxons as an exonym for them. The Normans in England were also a mixed group, many were Bretons or Normans of Breton origin, some were Flemings, some were just French / Franks and more still were just Normans and not Franks. Another thing to consider is that the Normans likely felt more kinship with the Normans in Sicily than with other non-Norman Frenchmen. Some Anglo-Normans were massive Anglophiles. Oderic Vitalis is a good example. The fact that the Anglo-Normans had to know English to effectively live in England meant they increasingly appreciated the people and country until they stopped being Norman and became exclusively English in identity. Another historic irony is that some of the Norse ancestors of the Normans (and even Bretons) would have been Anglo-Danes from the Danelaw.

@@voiceofreason2674 The Normans only got Normandy around 911, They effectively were a different people alongside the Bretons

You can say the fought under leadership of Norman prince, definitely there were French Britons among their ranks and Gallic French ppl. Nowadays, it doesnt matter, french and british are all united under the rainbow flag, marching in pride parades, taking warlike refugees and opening their hearts and minds and pussies and mouths to them.
