Hello I am quite curious, why the ancient Romans had in the public baths they were building, an elaborated Sauna system. If the Latins have migrated to Italy from Baltics areas (through Germany, Austria) it would make sense. Italy was a warm area even in the times of Romans. Another thing that...

Hello I have noticed that modern English and modern Italian languages are having at least some cognates. While I speak English quite well, I only understand most Italian words, but I do not speak Italian. So, I will start: EN -------------- IT Cat - Gatta Lake - Lago Toast - Tostare

Hello While the history of Romania, including Moldavia, has some gaps in it, some things are still known. I will start to present some short resemblances, in the folk culture and beliefs of Moldavia, with Lithuania. First: The symbol of Moldavia was the Auroch. The Auroch was a species of wild...

Hello I understand that is some areas from Austria, the percentage of J2 is quite significant. I do not have exact studies, just seen a claim that Salzburg might have 20% J2. If you have any studies about J2 in Austria, including in the Ladin minority, could you post here? Also, seems some...

Franks, Saxons, Angles, were all German tribes. Angles came from our days Schleswig-Holstein, Saxons, from Lower Saxony and other parts from North Germany. Franks, were from our days Lower and Middle Rhine, not from the lands that Roman Empire was rulling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franks...

Yes, that also happened . However, later Widukind converted to Christianity. Thing is, Danes and Norwegians seems to have been allied and Danes built that wall, to have an easy way to defend against Frankish Empire. Why Danes and Norwegians focused to attack Britain, I have no idea . It seems...

It also seems that the Danes built the wall to be able to protect themselves with ease by the Germans. It is also clear that the Danes and the Norwegians were focusing to conquer England, in those years and England was rulled by Saxons and Angles. It is clear that Saxons were Germans and Angles...

Is very possible that the Saxons migration from around 300 AD, to Britain, was triggered by the raids of Danish Vikings against North Germans. The Saxons that remained in Germany started to attack later the Danish Vikings to protect Holy Roman Empire. Otto I, the king of Holy Roman...

Hello, Since I seen there is no thread in which people can discuss about the Gothic tribes, I thought to open one. For the start, I am posting here an article from a Danish guy: http://www.dandebat.dk/eng-dk-historie12.htm

Hello, I searched and read in the past, from the internet, multiple things about ancients Saxons. And what I found is that, during the migration of the Saxons to England, they were carrying a typical weapon, the Seax, which was a longer knife. The word Seax existed in Old English, meaning a...

Seems, after R1B-L21 percentages, that Bell Beakers were present in Germany and from there they moved to Netherlands and from there, most migrated to the British Isles. How Bell Beakers got in SW France, I do not know. Another thing, I think there is also some R1B-L21 in Austria. So, the...

I kind of agree with this point of view. A part of current French natives are mix of Ancient Romans with Celtic tribes from France. Other, mix of Celtic tribes from France with Hallstatt Celts from Germany (that current Germany population is mostly Hallstatt Celts, as genetics, I found out in a...

Would like to see their Y-DNA, Mt-DNA and Autosomal DNA analyzed. This is a very precious material to find out some things about the genetics of those Romans.

Do not think that the main activity of most of the Vikings was the war, but fishing in the North Sea. Due to this, they were extremely skilled at sailing in the North Sea and also, they knew how to get from Scandinavia to British Isles. I have not studied too much, to see if the Vikings attacked...

Vikings were the Scandinavians and their allies, which allies seems to have been usually some Finnic and some Baltic people. There is some argument in regards to what Viking means. Viking is an English word, that is derived from an Old Norse verb...

Well it seems we have found one of the main reasons of the Vikings leaving Scandinavia and Balts, Baltic countries and going to British Isles and Russia (seems lots of Baltic people ruled by mister Swede Rurik and some other Swedes left to Russia).

It was. Danes and South Swedes were sometime subjects of the German Empire/Holy Roman Empire. Meaning that they were accepting the authority of the king of Germany, do not think they were put to pay any extra taxes, compared to the other people from the German Empire. That does not means that...

So it seems that the Main Stream theories, that the Vikings went to "Rob and Rape" in British Isles are not actually true at all. Vikings might have been afraid about their existence, because they did not knew what German Empire would do to them. A thing is also known, that Magyars were...

Hello kind Ladies and Sirs, I was curious to know why the Vikings were raiding in the British Isles, but why there are not recorded any raids of the Vikings in Germany. It seems that the vicinity of the German Empire was one of the causes that triggered the Vikings to start migrate from...

Hello kind Ladies and Gents, (Gents is a funny term for Gentlemen) I will somehow pass over the introduction and will get into the subject, more directly. As a short note, I consider Celts and Gauls as same group of ethnicities. With the word Celts coming from the Greek Keltoi and the world...
