I was so calm surfing the internet, I was trying to forget the papers of Rome, not because I was not interested but to take a breath, when suddenly I could not believe what I saw. The news was already in Spain, my God, what have I done, I could not resist it and began to read:

"THE ITALIANS DO NOT EXIST": the DNA of Imperial Rome comes from Syria and Lebanon
"It's hard to say what New York was like today. That was Rome two thousand years ago," explains Guido Barbujani, one of the great Italian geneticist experts. Barbujani speaks of his land, if Rome, the imperial, was of someone. Because a novel study published by the journal Science states, after genetically analyzing 127 bone remains from 12,000 BC to 300 AD collected from various archaeological remains of the eternal city, that the Romans, like today's New Yorkers, are genetically from everywhere.
The remains say that the Romans mixed with what would now be inhabitants of the lands of Lebanon, Syria, Greece and North Africa. If we Romans are all, since their right or culture is the basis of most of the western world, we are all partly Syrians, Maghreb and Lebanese too.
The study, conducted by scientists of various nationalities, shows the genetic change of the Italian Peninsula and what led to the appearance of the so-called Roman Empire. Between 10,000 and 7,000 BC, the bones of the three collecting hunters would be almost identical to others analyzed on the other side of the Alps. "There is a genetic pattern that usually makes them more similar to those that are close than those that are far away. Studying the Etruscans in Tuscany we have found two areas where individuals maintain an almost identical DNA, but 50 kilometers further south are different. Sometimes it also happens that two villages half an hour away by car have more differences than locations that are 500 kilometers away, "says Barbujani.
When Rome was New York
However, the pole of attraction that supposed the great Rome changes its genetics. Between 900 and 200 BC the Romans begin to differentiate themselves from Western Europeans and become more like the inhabitants of the Middle East and the Maghreb. Of 48 genomes studied, only two individuals show pure traits of Western Europe. "The diversity was absolutely overwhelming," said Ron Pinhasi, one of the researchers at the University of Vienna study.
Why did that genetic mixture exist in Rome? By power, money, influx of slaves, sexual and commercial relations ... Exactly for the same reason that New York is probably today one of the most genetically varied cities in the world.
When the barbarian invasion arrived and the empire broke, the city went from having one million inhabitants to one hundred thousand and it was Constantinople, the new capital of the western world, that became a host city for immigrants. "When the flows of immigrants went elsewhere, the greatness of Rome began to decline," concludes the interesting article entitled 'Rome open city' in which the author, Pietro Grieco, makes a journey through Italian history and genetics. "For many centuries the city was an open city. It welcomed migrants, free or forced, in large numbers. And this pollution, we repeat, coincided with its success," the text said.
Migration, a phenomenon since ancient times
The Science article also reveals something that is on everyone's lips today, especially in Italy: migratory flows. "I promised that I would do my best to defend the borders and stop the invasion of our country and I am doing it," said the leader of the Lega, Matteo Salvini, on September 7, 2018.
Y lo que enseña el reportaje es que la historia viene a confirmar de nuevo que todo lo vivido hoy no es más que un repetición de hechos ya pasados: "Es una constante del ser humano. Siempre se migró mucho en todos los momentos históricos. En Roma, mucha gente vino del sur y del este", explica Barbujani. "La gente puede imaginar que el nivel de inmigración de hoy en día es algo nuevo, pero los ADNs antiguos muestran que los seres humanos llevan mezclándose fuertemente durante mucho tiempo", afirma el genetista Jonathan Pritchard, de la Universidad de Stanford.
Sardinia's exception
"We Italians do not exist. It is only a geographical aggregation. We have different genetic identities, linked to various historical processes," explained Davide Pettener, anthropologist of the department of biological science at the University of Bologna and creator of a DNA sample bank. to track the genetic history of the Italians. This study, generated with 3,000 blood samples from Italians from all regions, shows that transalpine today have a strong genetic load of "Germans, Greeks, Lombards, Normans, Suevos and Arabs."
There is only one Italian region that retains a DNA almost intact and without mixtures: Sardinia. "Sardines differ from all European Italian populations. While Sicily has been a center for all Mediterranean populations, Sardinia retains the oldest footprints that have not suffered invasions and has differentiated itself from all European populations along with Basques and lapones, "Luigi Ripamonti collects in his article 'Italians do not exist, we are a great genetic mix less Sardines'.
The false Aryan race of Benito Mussolini
However, Benito Mussolini's Italian fascism used the past and genetics as two essential elements of his ideology. Il Duce proclaimed himself heir to Emperor Augustus and brought to Italy the 'romanitá', a kind of return to the values of Greater Rome that would return greatness to the country. On the other hand, Mussolini also used the race component and rejection abroad as part of his propaganda.
In the famous manifesto of the race of 1938, in which Mussolini laid the foundations of his racial politics, he said in point six: "There is now a pure Italian race. This statement is not based on the confusion of the biological concept of race with the historical-linguistic concept of people and nation, but in the very pure blood relationship that unites today's Italians to the generations that inhabit Italy for millennia.This ancient blood purity is the greatest title of nobility of the Italian nation ". In point eight, the manifesto assured that: "Theories that support the African origin of some European peoples and that include a common Mediterranean race to Camitas and Semitic peoples must be considered dangerous, establishing absolutely unacceptable ideological relations and sympathies."
Today genetics has shown that both statements were false. The imperial Rome that Mussolini liked so much and many of his current followers had a huge mix and confluence with the towns he denies in point eight. "Our ambition now is to start from scientific and cultural evidence, two aspects that should never be separated, to face our own actuality such as, for example, the racial problem. We are a people who have achieved important results precisely because we have mixed together," explained the anthropologist Giovanni Destro Bisol during the presentation of another extensive study on the genetics of the country conducted by various Italian universities. This work concluded by stating that "we Italians are the people with the greatest genetic diversity in Europe."
THE COMMENT
This study reveals the real cause of the collapse of the Roman Empire. The East knocked him down ideologically - Christianity, Judaism - and biologically. He survived by mutating the Gallic Empire and to a lesser extent Ilirio by the composition of commanders and troops and finally tried to Germanize him desperately. Once the genuinely Italian-Roman component Italy was eliminated, it became the objective of all the dominators there were and for having. He had become a great mass of East and North African slaves, Mussolini tried to redeem them by ignoring these facts to some extent as he intuited them and logically his mission was impossible. The phenomenon of the Reconquest and the Repopulation in the Peninsula badly called Iberian propitious instead a completely different scenario to what happened in Italy and Greece until the nineteenth century in which Spain loses its Atlantic projection and begins the process of debasement that reaches today even with the increasingly Mediterranean orientation. At this point the independence of the entire Mediterranean facade may be the key to the Spanish regeneration and its Monarchy.
Poor Duce, poor Duce. No wonder he ended up hanging upside down while the enraged mass sang to him: "We are made of mud and not of stone, created to make love and not war."
