  • The Scottish Declaration of Arbroath, written in 1320, declares that the Scots came from Greater Scythia. The journey described, seems to echo the one mentioned in the Scotia myth from the Book of the Taking of Ireland. Is there any evidence to support these legends? This video looks at all the evidential avenues available.

    I am stunned to find this. For many reasons, and without this history, I recently concluded, the Irish, Scots, and Brits are the ancient Egyptians. I'm American, and my red headed mother was of Irish extraction and my father of British origin. Fascinating. I'll be binging on your videos, I imagine. Auld Boy, your video production, and narration is well done, and above average. Plus, very informative. Thank you for your work!

    Hey.
    This is a great video. I cried during your reading of the declaration of arberoth, and the anthem.
    When you got to the part about passing out of the pillar of Hercules, I busted up out of nowhere and felt like I could see everything.
    It was a hard cry, with a puckered lip where I said out loud, 'i was there'.
    I doubt it. I am 43% Germanic. My mtDNA group is R0, and is supposed to have come from the Arabian Peninsula, and is mostly found in old mummies from the New Dynasty, and.. oh.. wait..
    Really beautiful work. Flawless execution. I love that this was my introduction to the history of the Scotts🔮🎶

      The old world certainly seems a lot more connected than initially meets the eye. I’ve done a series looking at the Norse Germanic tribes and some of their practices and mythology also seems to hint at connections with the med and east at some point too.

    Our family name is really "Esteva" and it traces to "Galicia," Spain. I visited Galicia as a teenager and I visited la Coruña. I saw the "tower of Hercules" and touched the stone statue of Breogan - the mythical father of Galicia. I remember meeting a beautiful Spanish Woman with Red Hair! I was extremely surprised at the fact that both men and women learned to play bag pipes and that there were more bagpipe players in Galicia than in Scotland and Ireland combined.

      I find it insulting that so many nations of Europe claim to come from that cannibalistic savage tribe called Scythians.
      If anything, Scythians entered history around 900 BC, while the Danube Valley had already an advanced civilization around 6000 BC.
      There is also linguistic and genetic proof that the Hindus Valley civilization of around 2000 BC also emigrated from the Danube Valley.
      Believe it or not, The Danube Valley is the birthplace of all European nations, not the cannibalistic Scythians.

    Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at Oxford University, said: "About 6,000 years ago Iberians developed ocean-going boats that enabled them to push up the Channel.
    "Before they arrived, there were some human inhabitants of Britain, but only a few thousand. These people were later subsumed into a larger Celtic tribe... the majority of people in the British Isles are actually descended from the Spanish."
    See Sykes is outdated and did state we have Iberian origins. But he is wrong as Bell Beakers replaced the earlier Britons by up to 90 percent.

      To live in a community of people with a similar culture/history...where you can trust your neighbors and build a future for the young to thrive. A place where people have honor and respect for the Creator and our Ancestors. Sounds real ideal today. When I was a boy our small town was like that to an extent in rural America. Today the government and education push dependency on the central govt not family, religion or community. The multi-cultural and anti-white Marxist totalitarians have done a real number on the people of European descent the last 100 yrs.

    Genetic studies have come a long way since Sykes' research 20 years ago; while the Gaels and Iberians do indeed share a common origin in haplogroup R1b, they belong to brother clades of the same branch. The evidence we have at this point seems to be telling us they both originate among the Dutch Beaker Folk, with the ancestors of the Gaels moving through Britain and those of the Iberians moving through France. They did ultimately come from Scythia, but the story of their travel through the Mediterranean seems to be either fantasy or garbled together with some other people's story.
    One small correction too, Edward I's paternal line wasn't of Norman but Angevin origin (i.e Frankish or Gallo-Roman), the first of which who was King of England was Henry II.

      Thank you, I used that source specifically to show the halpogroup info as it also showed two other geneticists which had spotted the same. This is setup as an episodic series which basically looks at the mythology, and investigates if there’s actually any evidence to support any of it or not. I’m going to look at some more mythology and some archeology next and then look at the proposed migratory theories in the final episode after that.

    Great job on this. As I listened I had a thought which may have no basis but I will pose it anyway. Breoghan made me think of the Ogham or Rune alphabet which is attributed to Druids typically.
    The Og in the center of the name made me think of both Tir Na Og as well as Og of Bashan in the Bible. Og was a Giant and there is a theory that each time the world resets at the turning of the Zodiacal Age the next group is smaller than the previous era. That would take Tir Na Og which is commonly the land of the young and makes it the land of the previous age. Thereby the might men of renown from Genesis are Giants as well. Given that the Scots are the second tallest race in the world behind the Zulus would this mish mosh of ideas line up together to reveal anything of substance.
    Regardless a fine job on the video. Thanks

    • @auld_boy
      @auld_boy  Před 6 měsíci +1

      There's definitely a bit of dramatic flair and storytelling myth in the Declaration of Arbroath, I always found the line about the Picts being 'utterly destroyed' the most obviously over-dramatised. Generally it's thought the Gaels and Picts had good mutual intelligibility in language and I don't know of any evidence of them warring, rather it seems they intermarried and were driven together as one to defend the land from outside invaders. But I suppose it's one of those, we'll never really know the truth, just speculations and best-fit theories.

Howard's pulp-history, as many have done ever since - I still love to imagine that the modern genetic studies indicating indescribably complex interbreeding supports every fanciful legend to some degree.

    Always found this document interesting for a few reasons, of course because its known that our ancestors did at some point arrive in Britain from the area known as Scythia by some route, but also (im no scientist but to my laymans eyes) when looking at a map of ydna haplogroups, R1b (from the steppe) is most dominant on the atlantic coast then gives way to more r1a as you move east. So could it be that as well as land based migrations there was naval movement from that region through and out from the mediterranean maybe establishing trade hubs on the coast, then permanent settlements from there. Sure its not the mainstream theory atm but who knows? So often you hear about a native tribe who supposedly have oral traditions of a volcano that erupted 15000 years ago and a lot of people kind of accept that, so i see no reason some groups in Europe couldnt have retained information orally from the bronze age or late neolithic before having it put down in writing in medieval times, the same happened during the colonial era when europeans began writing down oral histories of people like the maori as those systems of relaying information broke down with cultural changes.

      Yes I’ve been looking at this too, and I’ve seen papers which show the same..a higher prevalence on the coast. There was a theory called Celtic from the west which postulates a similar idea to what you are saying. I have two more videos on this subject which seems to corroborate this idea. It’s a group of Celtic inscriptions which bear the name of a son of a figure from Greek mythology. The first one will be uploaded at the weekend.

    The Anthem sounds very Celtic. Also, Breoghan in Scottish Gaelic means little, pretty (one), a term of great endearment, but it could also mean that Breoghan was anything but small (even as "Little John" of Robin Hood Fame was a heavy-set man, who was well over six feet tall!) My mother's Maternal line were Pictish, her Paternal line was Norman and Flemish. She strongly resembled her Pictish ancestors, olive skin, green eyes, black hair, wiry build and wildish, firey nature that loved the Outdoors, and yet she was a deeply moral and Christian woman.
    Dad's ancestors were Anglo Saxon Blue-Bloods, (Mum's family married into the Blue Bloods a lot as well...), but I married a Scottish Jew. His father's family were Danites that emigrated to Ireland from Northern Israel, about 1500 years ago. His mother's family were Livingstones and Robertsons (McRobbs), the Livingstones in Gaelic are called Mac an Laoigh (MacKinley), which means sons of the hero. Probably they chose the name Livingstone to avoid English persecution, because people with such heroic names as "Hero's Son" were going to be persecuted. But some kept the name MacKinley, and so it is to this day.
    Mum and Dad were both strong souls, with strong natures, but were deeply in love and happily married for almost 50 years. Also, they maintained their conjugal relations until 2 weeks before Dad died, when he became too ill to function in that area. His last words were, "Mum, I'm starting to feel good, could you make me some silverbeet tea, then I'll get up (get out of my bed)." She went to prepare him this favourite drink, and in the 10 minutes or so that it took her to prepare it, he died! It looked as if he'd tried to get out of bed, and his soul left him at that moment...

      If he'd had a proper diet, during childhood, he would have been well over 6 foot tall!

      @@markperron851 And there is also the Tale of the Brehon Seer. He was gifted with the Second Sight after his mother made a bargain with the ghost of a Danish Princess, in a Scottish Graveyard one evening. If you wanted to spell "Brehon" in Gaelic, you would probably spell it "Breoghan" and it would be said "Brahn" or "Brehn", in other words, according to Gaelic grammar, the "ogh'" group in the centre of the word would be silent.
      There is an Irish hero named Bran (Brahn) as well...
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voyage_of_Bran
      This is called an Eachtrae, or "Journey Tale" and it is interesting to note that the one of the Gaelic words for "Horse" is "Each" (pronounced "Yach" and a "Master" (as in supreme craftsman) is "Eirich" (pronounced Yerich). Remember how the Scots pronounce "Ch", as in "Loch". "Eirich" is often transliterated into English as Eric, (name), but IMHO, could also be the origin of the Danish name Yoric ("Alas, Dear Yoric, I Knew Him Well...).
      The Legend of Bran could just be a fireside tale, probably is a fireside tale, but in every such tale, there are usually threads of truth. For example, making a journey to a land with no Winter (Mediterranean Climate) and stumbling across an Island inhabited by only Women (The Mediterranean Isle of the Amazons?) Might such an Island actually have existed? It is interesting that this tale happens to be so caught up with a man whose name is Bran, might there be echoes here of an even more ancient tale, one that is actually fact?
      Something to think about, I say. It is so interesting to study ancient mythologies and to rediscover the historical facts that gave them birth.

      @PsychicIsaacs thank you for sharing. What an amazing story. I am 6'1' but many of my cousins on my mums side are tall oaks. My Uncle Buddy was 6'5" in the eighth grade.
      I have been recently been studying many linguistic similarities between cultures and how the meaning can shift a bit in translation. The Tuatha De Danann as an example. There is a middle eastern set of tall or Giant folks again that were the Titannu (where the term Titan originates) and the lost Tribe of Israel the Tribe of Dan seem to point to a bridge between the languages and myths.
      I ascribe to the theory that history is written backwards and that the migration went from the Isles to the Mid East not the current typical teachings. It makes no sense at all that cultures would migrate North after an Ice Age, so after the Younger Dryas Ice Age I believe the people in the coldest areas would take the opportunity to move to warmer climates and increase their harvest. It just doesn't make sense to me that anyone would migrate to a harsher climate.
      I do appreciate your comments about diet though. A big factor I had omitted up to now.

    Its a great legend. Being realistic I dont really think the people of Scotland today are related to Scythians. A lot of Scots are probably more closely related to the people of pre bronze age who originally occupied Spain and moved up the Iberian coast and western Atlantic coast , eventually reaching Ireland.
    The concept of a Scythia origin may be connected to the idea in the bible, that the Scythians were related to one of the lost tribes of Israel. In the middle ages it was seen as important and gave people, especially of royal descent, great prestige, to describe themselves as being descended from people who came from the holy land. The land or people that Jesus came from. The people of the bible. When the declaration of Arbroath was written, it included a letter asking the pope for his recognition of the legitimacy of Robert the Bruce as the rightful heir to the Scottish throne, and Scotland to be recognised as an independent country.
    If the pope agreed to this, (which he did) then it was hard for anyone to disagree with it. To help put forward their point, and argue Scotlands case, a long list of kings in a line of descent was given, which went way back beyond the first king of Scotland , Kenneth MacAlpine. It names lots of supposed kings going back to a line of Scythian kings. I dont think there is any real evidence of these names being really connected to Scotland, or if these people really existed. This was done to show how legitimate, and also how holy the line was. It was meant to show the Scottish line of decent goes back to the holy land. How could the pope say no to that?
    Scotland was not the only country to do this at the time. Lots of other royal lines claimed to show descendants from the lost tribes of Israel, and other people in the holy land and bible. They did it to give them more legitimacy, and so their kings could say they were ordained by God.

    • @auld_boy
      @auld_boy  Před 6 měsíci +1

      In the Greek and Roman sources, the Scythians weren’t connected with the tribes of Israel. This really seemed to blow up in the medieval period. Plato says in either laws or republic (I forget which one), that in order to have a civil society, you had to tell the people their laws were handed down from god to their ancestor and they have remained unbroken for ever..tribes of people would then be named after this ancestor and they used a 12 tribe system so they could rotate tasks each month. The bible seems to take this to the next stage..by trying to relate all the people of the known world to various biblical descendants. Interestingly enough though, I have found one of the names in Irish mythology, in the Greek and this persons sons name also shows up on inscriptions in Galicia..that will be the next episode though.

      Of course it echos the Scotia myth, it is based on it. To refer to historical "Ireland" is anachronistic as the island was called "Scotia" & its people "Scots" or "Gaels", no contemporaries referred to it or the people otherwise (see eg. Bede) Until recent historical times it was known as "Scotia Major" while modern Scotland was "Scotia Minor". "Ireland" means "western land", modern Scotland was granted sole use of the name, pre-reformation, by the pope 16th century.

      The round towers in Ireland (around 1000) predate Christianity & Ireland is unique in having so many. They were built by an earlier civilisation - the tuath de Danaan (Henry O'Brien).

They raided first and eventually settled and formed a kingdom called Dalriada in the 5th century. Then, simplifying history, these people and more like them, continued to come in and mix with the Brithonic-speaking natives (so, Gaelic Celts mixing with Brithonic northern Celts), such as the Caledonians and Picts. So the original Scots, who speak Gaelic, are in essence, originally from Ireland, where the Gaelic languages first developed as a different branch of the Celtic language family. The Gaelic language came to northern Britain with them in the 5th century. The name Uí Néill is from Niall Noígíallach, a historical King of Tara who died c. 405. So it's originally Irish

He also said the same was noted by Dan Bradley, professor of genetics, trinity college Dublin and also Jim WIlson, professor of human genetics at Edinburgh University.
      Its a sequence also known in genetics as the Atlantic Modal Halpotype.
      "it isn’t long before I find this particular signature: 11-24-13-13-12-14-12-12-10-16. It is very familiar indeed. This is the quintessential Oisin Y-chromosome and huge numbers of Irish men carry it. | am not the only person to have noticed this particular Y-chromosome combination. Dan Bradley certainly knows about it, and it has also been spotted by Jim Wilson, who worked for a time at University College London. Jim is a native of the Orkney Islands, just off the north coast of Scotland, and he had noticed this same combination among his fellow Orcadians. It also cropped up, interestingly, in surveys of Y-chromosomes among the Basques of north-eastern Spain and among the people of Galicia in the north-west of Spain. Its oceanic affinities led it to be christened, not Poseidon or Neptune, but the far more prosaic Atlantic Modal Haplotype, or AMH for short."
      James F. Wilson, Deborah A. Weiss, Martin Richards, Mark G. Thomas, Neil Bradman, and David B. Goldstein from university college London have conducted research on it as well:
      "The Y chromosome complements of Basque- and Celtic-speaking populations are strikingly similar (Fig. 1). Haplotype 1.15 is also modal in the Basques and constitutes 41% of the sample, rising to 56% for the cluster of one-step neighbors. We call this the Atlantic modal haplotype (AMH). In each of the Basque, Welsh, and Irish populations, a total of 89-90% of the chromosomes are in hg 1, which contains the M173-defined Eu18 hg in Semino et al. (34), with the majority of the remainder in hg 2."
      As far as Im aware, the Atlantic Modal Halpogroup is still used as a model..I can't find anything to the contrary and the journal I used lets you know if there are updates which superseede it and its still showing as current?

      It was one of these that suggested R1B spread by these people and that it got to Britain by these Ice-Ace basque-like people, and that R1B originated in around the last Ice-Age, however' the revised 'Kurgan hypothesis' refutes this and puts the R1B origin about the Eurasian steppe. .

      a 2022 study says otherwise a supports the mass migration theory with the Anglo-Saxons making up to 76 percent of the Early English genepool on the east coast of Britain.

      As for Ireland:
      'A 2015 study using data from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages showed a considerable genetic difference between individuals during the two periods, which was interpreted as being the result of a migration from the Pontic steppes. The individuals from the latter period, with significant steppe ancestry, showed strong similarities to modern Irish population groups. The study concluded that "these findings together suggest the establishment of central aspects of the Irish genome 4,000 years ago."

    Yes there were later movements from the Middle East to Scotland but there is much more to the story and the Scythians were originally from Ireland/Scotland. The theory goes that the red/ blond haired Tuatha de came to Ireland from hypoborea after the flood and settled here. They travelled the world via the Phoenicians where they set up Colonies in Heliopolis, India, mesoamerica, Uppsala, Carthage, Middle East and Rome and were the spark for these civilisations. Sanskrit is almost identical to Gaelic as is Hebrew Algonquin. The first Pharaoh Menses is buried in Ireland in Knockmanny as is Akhenaton’s daughter Scota (Scotland) and tea Tephi. Thoth (similar to Tuatha) was a blue eyed god called the westerner. The Egyptian god Set or Seth was exiled from Egypt and returned to ‘the land of the ancestors in the West’. Kukulkan the bearded traveller from the east of the Aztec calendar has an almost identical name to CuChulain the Irish warrior and Demi-god. There are hundreds of mummies with red hair including Ramses and Nefertiti and 5 other pharaohs. Tutankhamen’s dna is from the ‘British isles’ and not Egyptian the news report is on YT. The Irish and Scots have some of the highest rates of rheeses negative blood in the world. Pythagoras was taught by the Irish Druid Abaris. The Greeks called the Irish ‘Ogygia’ meaning the ancient ones. The Greeks also taught that the oracle at Delphi was started by hypoborean druids Pagasis Agyeus and Olen. This is taken from the 3 ranks of Irish druids Bag-ois Agh-is and Ollam. There are hundreds of proofs in the book the Irish origins of civilisation. Much has been destroyed and suppressed by the crown and Rome but the clues are still there.

    Of course the declaration's explanation of Scottish origin echos the Scotia myth, it is based on it. To refer to historical "Ireland" is anachronistic as the island was called "Scotia" & its people "Scots" or "Gaels", no contemporaries referred to it or the people otherwise (see eg. Bede). According to the "book of invasions", "Leabhar Gabhála Éireann", they were the last people to conquer that island. Until recent historical times it was known as "Scotia Major" while modern Scotland was "Scotia Minor". "Ireland" means "western land", "Alba" the east, modern Scotland was granted sole use of the name, pre-reformation, by the pope 16th century.

      @kaicolloquoun-gt7kw........scotland was named scotia by the greek italian geographor in 200 ad....skota means dark in greek, hence scotland land o darkness.also, it's written and pronounced gallic in scotland. the galls/gauls were always at war with the romans in the frankish regions of europe so they fled to england. when the romans invaded england they then fled to and settled in scotland. type in......lot-ptlomey, magini-map of the british isles(united kingdom, great britain, england , scotland and ireland, aucion-zip......you will clearly see scotland mapped as scotia and ireland marked as hiber.....he also called britain...megale brettannia(large island) and ireland ,mikra brettannia (little island). that's where irish monks adapted it to suit ireland i.e scotia major, scotia minor.

    LSJ? You mean, of course, the Lansing State Journal. Or a Law, Society and Justice course of study. Or perhaps you mean the Lone Star Jazz dance studio.
    C'mon, it's not our job to know your acronyms. That's just rude.
