    Hitler's Aryan theory rubbished by science

    There are plenty easily and objectively measurable concepts in politics, but political philosophers in the 19th century and earlier had very limited empirical observations so of course they disagreed on how to interpret them. If you want to see the effects of different political systems on...

    If you could go anywhere back In time what places would you visit?

    I would like to go to Germany in the 30's to see how the people were persuaded by Hitler. I still find it very difficult to explain. Another interesting time is when sapiens, neanderthals, denisovans, etc, were all alive and lived in overlapping territories. The thought of another being with a...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    My last post didn't concern your views at all. I only said you posted a link of the Encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia is wrong on one point. I did not say you endorse that particular point so honestly I don't even know why you felt you needed to reply to that. I said you posted the link, which...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    Unfortunately I don't remember exactly who said what and the posts have been deleted, but someone said it, someone even had a map, I remember Yetos had another map claiming to represent the proto-Greek area, then Angela cited the Encyclopedia Britannica, which stated that Epirus was settled by...

    My proposed tree of Indo-European languages

    First of all, only some Iapygians are Messapians, as the latter was only one tribe among the group that formed the former. Second, the study you mentioned has no connection to the Thracians. It shows that preLGM mtDNA haplogroups were replaced to a large extent by postLGM ones, mainly eastern...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    They hypothesized the Mycenean base for sustaining the colony was either Aitoloakarnania or Pylos. Yes, and my point was that it was a colony, Epirus was not Mycenean just as China was not British simply because of one colony. I am not trying to argue that the Mycenean civilization had no...

    History xx14, the true turn of century in European history

    Yes but without capturing the city they couldn't enforce their tariffs on the passing trade between Europe and India.

    History xx14, the true turn of century in European history

    I agree on the industrial revolution, Renaissance and the banking system, but all of them had existed before in different forms. The main date for me is 1453, the capture of Costandinople. That drove European powers to seek ways to India, which led to the "discovery" of America, which brought...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    That part is in the book, page 212. For a short summary, look at the sentence that starts with "To summarize...", here...

    Bronze Age Epirus

    I was more interested in the Neolothic part of the discussion, which I believe relates to the origins of Myceneans, but thanks for opening this anyway. Both the sources you provided explicityly state Epirus was not Mycenean. On pages 210-212, especially the summary on page 212, the book says...

    The curious case of Albanian coincidences

    The curious case of Albanian coincidences

    Well Wikipedia has actually deleted many of the old comments, but check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Epirus_(ancient_state). The people who have edited that page in the past are all quite biased, both Greeks and Albanians, but that Alexikoua person is an admin so his/her bias...

    The curious case of Albanian coincidences

    There actually are people who different governments hire just to deal with this. Just look at the discussion history of the wikipedia page on Epirus and you will see how it works.

    The curious case of Albanian coincidences

    Johane if you have evidence of transmission of the Epos from Albanian into Slavic, could you point me to it? I am very interested in learning more about that. Thank you!

    Updated phylogenetic tree of E-V13

    Did you mean to quote someone else? I don't see how anything I said contradicts anything you said. I never said there were no Albanians in the South or anywhere else, quite the contrary. Albanian speakers in regions that are not in Albania today have been historically assimilated into other...

    The curious case of Albanian coincidences

    Everyone knows Aromanian is Balkan Latin while no linguist or historian has ever considered Illyrian a Romance or Celtic language. When you said the North of Albania has some Slavic mtDNA, which haplogroups were you considering Slavic?
