Sory I make a mistake and send only half of message last time , this is whole of it :I was there where you are now: My abandoning of Sarmatian theory
Sory I make a mistake and send only half of message last time , this is whole of it :
You shouldnt calculate numbers from percents because Russia is lot wider region then Balkan - lot more food and space which are conditions for faster spreading of population . Also there was lot of Sarmatian nations( Yazigi , Alani , Yazigi , Roxolani , Yaxamatae, Asii,...) , and on Balkans there is only 2 : Serbs and Croats . And some of them left behind in Boiki ( Bavaria , Bohemia , Lusitania -Lužica) -Serbs and some in Moravia and Czech - Croats . During IX century some Croats moved to White Croatia ( Slovakian Tatras , Lviv region in Ukraine , and Krakow region in Poland = Galicia ) , and some Serbs moved to Red Ruthenia ( Northwest Ukraine and Southwest Belarus ) .Dušans empire use to have same population like conterporary England , but today UK have 58 000 000 and Serbia ( not whole in empire ) , Greece ( not whole in empire ) , Macedonia and Albania has only 25 000 000 . Also during I WW died 1/4 of population of lands of former Yugoslavia , and during II WW 1/4 more

Go on this thread and you will find out that I2a2 -Din north is present in Caucasus ,Kurdistan even in Kazahstan and Pacistan -Afganistan and I2a2 -Din in Balkans ,west Turkey, Midle and east Europe. ( Choose that haplogroups on map , there is also all other I2 haplogroups ).
Which studies about Caucasus had you looked?
Thanks for answering . Are theories ard basicaly same , there is only thing thet separate them who brought I2a2 on Balkan Sarmatians , or protoSlavs around Pripyat.
You had make mistake abandoning good theory , when do you plan to abandon heresy and go back to real values?-Joke
Yes I am saying Serbs ( and Croats to ) are Saramatians , atleast it looks most probable to me from all theories. And yes I believe main Sarmatian gene was I2a2 , but they probably had lesser percent of R1a , G, J2, Q , and E1b1b , and only in Serbian case N and maybe some K2 ( aldo some researches hasnt find any K2 in Serbs ) .So that I may ubderstand you, you are saying that the serbians are the sarmatians who carry I2a2 and that the illyrians ( in the north) of the bronze and iron ages are R1a. Since the Romans and greeks historians did not know of any slavic people in their sphere of the world, then I cannot doubt you in saying that the serbians could be sarmatians. On the other hand Scytians which became hunnic and that huns are magyar.
What where the goths, vandals and burgundians , I1a ?
Its strange that in the last 20 years, slovenes, croatians and now serbians are saying that they where never slavic.
it seems that historians in the dark ages that noted that slavi where only russians could be correct.
I would like to know why you had abandoned theory of Sarmathian origin of Serbs , maybe it would change something in my oppinion by providing new perspective. I folowed your link , but havent find anything that would change your theory .Except it is what that guy ( imperorum romanorum or something like that ) said that Iranians are Assyrians , thats not truth , you know ? - JokeI was there where you are now: My abandoning of Sarmatian theory
I also readed all post in thread about Serbian and Croatian Sarmatian origins , and havent find anything that would change my maind , it acctualy strenghtened my views , so if you can post reasons why do you believe I2a2 is Slavic.
Point of any discusion I believe to be is to take another viewpoint on your own theories , to reinforce or abandone your theory based on facts , and sharing of facts is crucial for that . And I would quote Aristotelus : " Only fool never changes its oppinion ". So I am ready to change it if I face hard evidence ( that I cannt show antrue). So there is possibility you can say something that would change my mind.I don't think I can write something new and change your mind. More or less I wrote everything i had to say on different topics on eupedia forum. But bottom line could be this:
Sarmatian theory is based only on the tribe name and understanding events in history teaches us that large groups of people did adopt new names in various processes, which I believe was the case with Serbs also.
Slavic theory is based on language - it is hard to explain that so numerous and wide spread groups of people didn't at least partly preserve their language if they were of Sarmatian origin. On the other side most of them do speak Slavic languages today.
Understanding Slavic archeological cultures from early middle ages is also of great importance, and maybe particularly Ipotesti-Candesti.
So I am ready to change it if I face hard evidence ( that I cannt show antrue).
Thanks for the list . Iranian is again more linguistic then ethnic name.Here is the list of ancient Iranian peoples:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Iranian_peoples
According to this list Lazyges clan was part of the Samartian tribe. Lazyges folks lived not far from the Balkans.
Here is the map where you can find this Lazyges clan.

We have discussion to get to some evidence.I don't have hard evidence. If such evidence would exist we would not have this discussion.
Research a bit how did French, English, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Russian people got their names. I think similar thing happened with Serbs and Croats.
thanks for the correction of my mistake. It's not Lazyges but Iazyges. Never heard about them before and also didn't read not so much about the Scytho-Sarmatians.Thanks for the list . Iranian is again more linguistic then ethnic name.
Look on that list there is nation Corduene - ancestors of Kurds , look at name of they king from 69 BC it is Zarbienus , if you remove latin transcription you would get Srbljen -Srbin . This is not acctualy evidendce , Sar sufix is very common in IE languagues but it could be clue .
I believe you maked mistake it is not L but I - Iazyges on Latin ( I is english Y or Serbian J) , they were first to move westward of all Sarmatians and settled in Banat ( Romanian and Serbian ) .
Ofcourse they are diferent , there is lot of Scythian ancient tombs that have been geneticaly tested and they all are R1a , Scythians probably had some N1c ( Ugrofinic ) to .thanks for the correction of my mistake. It's not Lazyges but Iazyges. Never heard about them before and also didn't read not so much about the Scytho-Sarmatians.
And you're right about the West and East Iranians. Only the proto-Iranic language hold them together. But ethnically speaking they were different folks, with different haplogroups. Iranian (Aryan) was a 'geopolitical' term.
I think you can devide Ancient Iranias in 3 subgroups. 'Kurgan' Iranians (East European), Central Asian Iranians and West Asian Iranians.
If it is true that Serbs are descendants of the Ancient Iranians it must be that they are descendants of the 'Kurgan' Iranians (European).
Kurds however are most likely descendants of the West Asian Iranians; like the Corduene, Mitanni, Kassites, Guti and Medes mixed with the 'Kurgan Iranians' (Europeans) like Scythians. It's possible that the Medes were not pure 'West' Asian Iranians, but an admixture of 'Kurgan'-Central Asian Iranians.
Some 'royal' tombs of the Kings of Media were found in Kurdistan.
Serbs have more I2a-DIN. Thus that would mean that Serbs are 'more' Medes (from West Asia) than West Asian Kurds that still speak an Iranic language. If that's true than Kurds are also more other Iranic folks (like Mitanni and Kassites) and less Medes that lived mostly in North-East Kurdistan.Ofcourse they are diferent , there is lot of Scythian ancient tombs that have been geneticaly tested and they all are R1a , Scythians probably had some N1c ( Ugrofinic ) to .
Serbs cannt be descedants of Kurgan Iranians because Kurgan Iranians were R1a , and Serbs are 39% I2a2-Din and only 5% R1a which is old 3.500 years and can be conected with Kurgan , Serbs also has yet 10% of R1a but it is old 11.000 years - oldest in Europe ,and is either Illyrian or Alans brought it from Siberia ( in Russia ) where is oldest R1a in world -20.000 years.
All of Sarmatians are tribe ( same nation ) of Medians , so the Serbs and Croats are also Medians like Kurds, and also of western Asian Iranians . Greek historian Diodorus from Sicily writed that Sarmatians are descedants of Medians that were brought north of Caucasus by Scythians during they rule in Asia - Persia , Media , Syria in VII century BC. He said that Sarmatians actualy mean Solar Medes .
For haplogroups in Serbia , Croatia , Macedonia , Montenegro , Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kurdistan look at :
http://www.eupedia.com/europe/european_y-dna_haplogroups.shtml
There is no other way I2a2 -Din would get bouth in Kurdistan and on Balkans and east Europe than over Medians / Saramatians , it couldnt walk over Anatolia living no clues - stronger I2a2 around Istambul is due to Turkic resettlements of Serbian population in that aeria , Byzantin empire use to do same thing - in 659 emperor Constns II resettling parts of Serbs in town Gordoservon( Grad Srpski - city of Serbians) in Bytinia.
Thanks for answering
'Kur' is also the Scythian word for 'son'.I'm a Kurmanji speaker. Kur (Kor) means son in Kurdish. Some people say that Kurmanji speakers are sons/children of Medes. Kur-Manji = Son-Medes / Madai!
In Russian: son = sin (сын)
Serbs have biger percent of I2a2-Din , Croats have even biger 42% , and in Herzegovina ( east part are mostly Serbs , and west mostly Croats ) there is 71% . There is probably some variations in I2a2 levels in Kurdistan to , if you or someone else has data please post . But there is more Kurds ( 40-50 millions ) and only 12 millions Serbs.Serbs have more I2a-DIN. Thus that would mean that Serbs are 'more' Medes (from West Asia) than West Asian Kurds that still speak an Iranic language. If that's true than Kurds are also more other Iranic folks (like Mitanni and Kassites) and less Medes that lived mostly in North-East Kurdistan.
Btw, I'm a Kurmanji speaker. Kur (Kor) means son in Kurdish. Some people say that Kurmanji speakers are sons/children of Medes. Kur-Manji = Son-Medes / Madai!
In Russian: son = sin (сын)
That's strange. I also read somewhere years ago that some Polish people connect(ed) them to the (West Asian) Medes too.
Szlachta is not realy community it is Polish word for nobility - gentry , social class. it is posible that some other Sarmatian group beside White Croats populated aeria around Vistula river , there was also land of Vandals Tacitus say they are Germans , but Ptolemy mentions Sarmatae Oundalai - Sarmatian Vandals . Aldo I remember reading about big clash betwen Huns and Vandals , and Huns killed and chased away all of Vandals , so they land is left empty , chased by Huns Vandal refuges crossed Rhine in 408 and entered Roman empire eventualy they get in to Spain and later to Africa. Maybe Huns settled Slavic population in they place , and they were called Wends by land they lived in , maybe even some other Sarmatians ? Who knows , nothing is writen about that .People in Poland have 9% of I2. Here I found something on Polish folks:
"A general Polish mythology developed which called into being the "Sarmatian" people as the original forefathers of the Szlachta community. These people came from the area between Poland and Lithuania. Many people traced their families back to these "Sarmatians".
These have been found in recent times in the Polish land of Podolia. These signs survived among some Szlachta families in their coat-of-arms. Here are four: (pictures are on the site)
Thus we see the connection between the Sarmatians and the Central European Szlachta
"The Sarmatians were of Indo-European stock, belonging to a branch of the Iranian speaking group. They were closely akin to the ancient Medes, Parthians and Persians." T. Suliminski, The Sarmatians (New York: 1970), p. 22. "

'Kur' is also the Scythian word for 'son'.
