1 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.640 Aki, my son, you must preserve these books with body and soul. 2 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.520 They contain the history of our whole folk, as well as our ancestors. 3 0:00:42.480 --> 0:00:48.160 These are the opening lines of the Uralinda book, one of the most intriguing and potentially 4 0:00:48.160 --> 0:00:52.080 explosive and significant documents brought to light in modern times. 5 0:00:52.080 --> 0:01:01.360 This work we're about to discuss is controversial, and its legitimacy is still very much a raging debate. 6 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:08.720 It's aggressively rejected by most academics, and though this rejection seems largely driven 7 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:14.560 by all the wrong motives and is often so strange and frenzied in character as to be a bit suspect, 8 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.440 I don't want this video to be viewed as a definitive embrace of the work's historical 9 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:26.000 authenticity. To me, this is still an open question, and a leading reason I've created this video. 10 0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:32.560 My hope is to help launch several independent research journeys, to help us more swiftly come 11 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:40.400 to some reliable, well-reasoned, hard and fast conclusions. I will say this much, 12 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:46.320 ever since my first read of the translated manuscript, it's stuck with me in an unprecedented way. 13 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.200 The essence of the work brought to mind other most ancient works in the Aryan tradition, 14 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.600 such as the Avesta, the Vedas, and the Nordic Sagas. 15 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:03.600 Its content seems to draw from a well of depth and timeless wisdom, in a manner difficult to describe. 16 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:10.800 Other than to say this, much of my own life has been spent considering various manners of thinking 17 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:17.200 and living both as individuals or communities that might lead to lasting health, harmony, vitality, 18 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:23.360 that might allow peoples or nations a robust framework on which to build, ensuring they're 19 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:29.120 always reaching greater heights, as opposed to falling backward, according to the most meaningful 20 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:36.000 metrics. This philosophy and worldview this book speaks to echoes my thoughts on these fronts 21 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:42.000 practically as mere image at times. What's more, it seems to hit upon what I've long considered to 22 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:47.920 be the healthy, ideal archetype of Western mankind, speaks to those core traits and 23 0:02:47.920 --> 0:02:53.920 characteristics that seem to make them unique. Every people has these strengths, weaknesses, 24 0:02:53.920 --> 0:02:59.280 differentiating attributes or manners of viewing the world, and this work seems to more eloquently 25 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:04.160 touch upon our own, at least what I believe them to be, based on all I've been able to gather. 26 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:10.960 To a degree equal to anything else I've ever read. It's written in a style and script nearly as 27 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:16.080 intriguing as its contents, so much so that an entire video might easily be created on this subject 28 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:22.640 alone. And some have claimed this script might be one of the most ancient, root-written languages in 29 0:03:22.640 --> 0:03:29.520 the Indo-European family, acting as influence and inspiration to many other languages. It makes use 30 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.960 of a six-spoked wheel to formulate each written character, characters which are for the most part 31 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.840 familiar and readable by many speakers of Indo-European languages even today. 32 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:46.720 One of the many reasons this document is so explosive, if legitimate, is that it speaks to 33 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:54.800 events stretching back to 2000 BC, providing the history of a race, tribe, or nation, periodically 34 0:03:54.800 --> 0:04:02.320 and sporadically across several millennia. According to OLB Chronology, the first part of the book was 35 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.880 largely compiled by copying short history fragments preserved in writing on the walls of 36 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:15.680 burgs and citadels, circa 600 BC or so, and was then added to periodically over time as the document 37 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:22.960 was passed down through a family line. The people group it speaks to, and those who were part of it, 38 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:30.240 are called the Freyan people after their progenitor, Freya. It speaks to a culture that prizes virtue, 39 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:36.720 character, honesty and justice, and especially self-discipline, vastly higher than material gain. 40 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:42.640 Their belief system is simple and straightforwardly monotheistic, in the manner similar to that of the 41 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:48.240 royal Scythians as described by Herodotus, or the ancient Germans as described by Tacitus. 42 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:54.160 And speaking personally for a moment, in their description of God and their spiritual beliefs, 43 0:04:54.160 --> 0:05:00.560 I can't help but hear echoes of Jesus's words, echoes of the Buddha, of the Bhagavad Gita and Rig Veda 44 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:08.960 and the Avestas, and a very, very strong aversion to corruption of this core message, to priests who 45 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.840 might seek to use spiritual practice as a control mechanism to corrupt the world. 46 0:05:13.840 --> 0:05:19.360 It comes from the East, out of the bosom of the priests. It will breed so much mischief that 47 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:24.320 Ertha will not be able to drink the blood of her slain children. It will spread darkness over the 48 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:31.120 minds of men, like storm clouds over the sunlight. Everywhere craft and deception shall contend with 49 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:38.720 freedom and justice. For our beloved ancestors' sake, and for the sake of the world, we will 50 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:44.400 seek to be free from the evil and the evil. For our beloved ancestors' sake, and for the sake of our 51 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:50.640 precious freedom, a thousand times I beg you, dearest, to never let the eyes of a monk go over 52 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:56.640 these writings. They speak sweet words, but unnoticed, they meddle with all that concerns 53 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:02.720 us friars. They collaborate with foreign kings who pay them well. They know that we are their 54 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:08.480 greatest enemies because we dare speak about freedom, justice and royal obligations. Therefore 55 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:14.960 they want to obliterate all traces of our ancestral heritage and what is left of our morals. My dear 56 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:20.320 ones, I have visited their palace. If Rhalda allows it, and if we do not strengthen ourselves, 57 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:30.640 they will exterminate us all." Rhalda is the title they use for the divine, the creator and singular 58 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:40.000 all things. They speak of him also as the Allfather, or Allfeeder, that from which everything springs 59 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:46.720 or flows. To quote directly from the notes of the original translator of the OLB, Jan Ottema, 60 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:54.240 quote, Balmer's Dictionary of Mythology, Allfutter, the supreme god of Nordic antiquity, 61 0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:00.400 and proof that the peoples inhabiting Sweden, Norway and half of Germany had recognized the 62 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:06.240 purest worship of God as the basis of their religion. For in him we find back all noble 63 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:11.760 qualities which the Mosaic tradition attached to the unspeakable, and the Christian religion to the 64 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:18.480 only God, without any of the features distorting the sublime image of God, such as human passions, 65 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:26.000 anger, vengeance, zeal and jealousy. He is the creator, commander and navigator of the universe. 66 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:32.640 His breath blows through all times. His greatness and his power are unexplainable, 67 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:38.720 and no one can imagine him. For he has never shown himself to a mortal, and when his spirit, 68 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.880 his breath, dwells on earth, it is in the shadows of mysterious groves, 69 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:51.120 in quiet, sacred forests dedicated to him. End quote. And to quote the Orland text directly, 70 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.240 quote, 71 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:46.240 End quote. 72 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:47.360 End quote. 73 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:55.920 Raldah established eternal principles, or Aiwa, in all that was created, and regulations can only 74 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:02.800 be good if they are founded upon these principles. Although all is part of Raldah, the malice of the 75 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:10.480 people is not of him. Malice comes from laziness, carelessness and stupidity. Therefore it can harm 76 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:16.880 the people, but never Raldah. With the wheel turning, all creation alters and changes, 77 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:24.240 but only God is unalterable. Since Raldah is God, he cannot change, and since he endures, 78 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:32.400 only he is being, and everything else, emergence. Whereas his life is continually progressing, 79 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:38.480 however, nothing can remain stationary. Therefore all creatures change their position and their 80 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:45.360 shape, as well as their minds. Therefore can neither earth itself nor any creature ever say 81 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:52.800 I am, but rather I was. Likewise, no man can ever say I think, but merely I thought. 82 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.480 Aiwa refers to the rules that are imprinted equally in the hearts of all people, 83 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:03.200 in order that they may know what is right and what is wrong, and by which they are able to judge 84 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:08.640 their own deeds and those of others. That is, insofar as they have been brought up well and are 85 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:17.120 not corrupted. There is also yet another meaning attached. Aiwa also relates to Ae-like, that is, 86 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:23.600 water-like. Even and smooth, like water that is not disturbed by windstorm or anything else. 87 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:31.680 If water is disturbed, it becomes uneven, unright, but it always has a tendency to become even again. 88 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:38.800 That is its nature, just as the inclination towards justice and freedom exists in Freya's children. 89 0:10:39.680 --> 0:10:45.520 We derive this disposition from our feeder, Ralda's spirit, which speaks strongly in 90 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:50.240 Freya's children, and will eternally remain so." End quote. 91 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.640 And this work doesn't merely echo the spiritual or philosophical wisdom of the ages, 92 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.120 but mentions and provides context regarding a great many major events and influential 93 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:08.800 historical figures, to such an extent in fact that detractors have called it too good to be true, 94 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:16.640 or a bit too perfect and comprehensive. Jesus seems to be mentioned, as is Woden and Alexander 95 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:22.000 the Great. An entire section pertaining to laws and regulations is authored by the famed Minos, 96 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.960 who Thucydides claimed was the most ancient man known to build a navy, 97 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:31.280 and whose constitution formed the basis for that of Lycurgus and Sparta. 98 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:38.000 Athena and Minerva are mentioned, along with a few pivotal events in India and Greece. 99 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:44.720 And a strong connection to Hellenic Greece is inferred. Even the split between the Celtic 100 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:50.800 element and the rest of the Germanic peoples seems alluded to. In short, if the work someday 101 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:56.160 proves a reliable record, it will fundamentally reshape our understanding of our past. 102 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.600 Other writers and content creators have touched upon this work previously, 103 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:07.200 and I don't believe they've done it justice. I certainly won't do it justice, either, and it's 104 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:12.160 only due to making this clear at the outset that I feel free to even attempt to tackle this topic. 105 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:19.440 Up until now, in the Subverted History series, we've covered fairly tame ground, and that I've 106 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:25.920 not taken many speculative leaps or engaged in a great deal of educated guesswork. But in this 107 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:32.400 video, and in the next, I'll be tossing a couple of hand grenades, figuratively speaking, 108 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:37.440 as a means of igniting debate and discussion, and hopefully encouraging some diligent and 109 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:42.720 careful research to help bring us closer to embracing or rejecting some leading theories. 110 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.040 So prepare yourselves, it'll definitely get interesting. 111 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.200 My hope is that you'll be open-minded, yet discerning, 112 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.760 and skeptical in the most genuine and healthy sense of that word. 113 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:01.920 Any worthwhile truth should undergo a trial by fire, because whatever makes it out the other side 114 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:08.240 is the stronger for it. Even in the worst-case scenario, if the text in the OLB hasn't been 115 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:13.440 handed down through countless generations, as is claimed, you'll be exposed to a work of timeless 116 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:19.120 wisdom and profound life lessons, acting as a springboard for me to engage in some in-depth 117 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:26.080 discussion on the larger history of Western mankind. In the best-case scenario, you're about 118 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:31.600 to be exposed to one of the most important, least-known historical works in the world, 119 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.800 with the potential to help rewrite some of the most key portions of human history as we know it. 120 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.480 Enough preface, let's begin. 121 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:48.960 The Uralinda came to light in 1867 when a man named Cornelis over de Linden handed it over to 122 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:54.480 a librarian in Friesland, Netherlands. He stated it had come into his possession through his 123 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:59.120 grandfather, who in turn had received it from an aunt, and it had been passed down through the 124 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:07.360 family line for many generations. It was first passed to one Elko Fedeves, a scholar who 125 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:13.360 subsequently studied the document and confirmed its authenticity. Somewhat strangely, he later 126 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:19.920 withdrew this conclusion, some say to save his career. The document then enters the hands of 127 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:25.200 Jan Ottema, a prominent member of the Frisian Society for History and Culture, and the man 128 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:30.320 who was to become the first translator and publisher of the Uralinda book in 1872. 129 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:36.880 To help give some idea of the importance of this work, Ottema stated, quote, 130 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:56.800 And here we find in our Fatherland a very ancient people in possession of development, civilization, 131 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:04.800 industry, navigation, commerce, literature, and pure elevated ideas of religion, whose existence 132 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:12.800 we had never even conjectured, end quote. The work created an immediate firestorm of controversy and 133 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:18.960 debate, and equally passionate defenders and detractors, in an age in which Europe was seeking 134 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:26.960 to better understand its roots and clarify its own historical journey. In 1922, the Dutch-German 135 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:32.960 historian and scholar of ancient religions and symbols, Herman Werth, published Die Uralinda 136 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:38.400 Chronik in German. In fact, a discussion of the work was said to be a leading impetus for the 137 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:44.080 creation of the German Anninerbe in 1935, intended to function as a, quote, 138 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.760 Essentially an elite research institution, a gathering together of some of the best scholars 139 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:59.840 of the day from a wide range of academic fields, focused on piecing together the historical picture, 140 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.000 with special focus, of course, on the role played by the Germanic peoples. 141 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:09.120 The energetic debate on the authenticity of the work continued throughout the period of 142 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:14.160 National Socialism in Germany, with Himmler himself eventually becoming one of its most 143 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:19.840 spirited defenders. And this, no doubt, is a leading reason the work has received such 144 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:27.520 unjust and one-sided treatment post-World War II. The original manuscript uses what are now called 145 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:34.240 phonetic characters. These phonetic characters are selected from a circle, the sun sign, with a 146 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:41.120 vertical I and X crossing it, giving, surprisingly, a character set or context in which most letters 147 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:46.960 of the alphabet and numbers are easily recognized by modern Europeans and Americans. They were 148 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:54.160 recorded by Hito, surnamed Overdie Linda, in the year 1256 A.D. He copied his originals onto the 149 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:59.520 new Arabic paper, very desirable in Europe at the time, which was made from basic Egyptian cotton 150 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:06.320 without watermark. He called it foreign paper and used a carbon ink without iron. This was fortunate 151 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:11.360 because the more popular iron-based inks were used at a later date and are easily recognizable 152 0:17:11.360 --> 0:17:16.160 by their discoloration, giving us one more piece of evidence to support the book's authenticity. 153 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.600 And finally, before we go into the work itself, I'd like to go over the reasons why I've long 154 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:28.400 felt a work like this could possibly or even should possibly exist, and thus why this work 155 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:35.760 so profoundly struck me, even beyond the wisdom and deeper lessons conveyed. Looking back through 156 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:41.200 the broad sweep of history using the full context picture provided by those oldest histories that 157 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:47.280 still survive to this day, I'm always struck by the interconnectedness of key populations and cultures 158 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:54.000 in remote antiquity. Beginning somewhere around 2 to 3 000 B.C. especially, signs of deeply 159 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:59.520 interconnected peoples begin to spring up everywhere, from the Tarim Basin to India and Persia, 160 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:07.520 to Sumer, Egypt and Crete, to the Caucasus and the Steppes, with traces found as far away as 161 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:14.720 North and South America, China, Japan, and the Koreas. The written description of these people, 162 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:20.320 as well as the artistic depictions and statues and the most ancient remains recently exhumed, 163 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:26.800 illustrate clearly that these were kin, closely related to one another. Not the entire populations 164 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:32.960 of these regions, in many cases, but at least, in most cases, the ruling and governing caste. 165 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:39.120 So these don't seem to be the distinct and disconnected elements with little to no connection 166 0:18:39.120 --> 0:18:44.240 to one another, as many post-World War II historians have begun to argue, but very much 167 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:50.800 the opposite. I've come to believe this might be best explained by envisioning a family tree, 168 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:57.760 branching off into ever greater complexity. At each new branching, a quote, new people is born, 169 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:05.520 yet this newness and differentiation was often only culture deep. In a racial sense, these remained 170 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:12.160 brother and cousin peoples, and this understanding was likely retained in most cases, at least for 171 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:18.640 some number of generations past, and then slowly but surely, time and forgetfulness performed their 172 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:26.480 inevitable functions. Previously, I've discussed a group I consider to be something of a seed or 173 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:32.800 father people, which eventually broke off into countless branches, stretching across vast expanses 174 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:39.120 in the videos on the Ucythian and Gothic history. This allowed us to cover the Black Sea region 175 0:19:39.120 --> 0:19:45.760 and steppe territory, largely landlocked, horse and wagon related peoples, moving into Europe 176 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:51.040 through Poland and Ukraine, until they eventually blended in with brother peoples to help establish 177 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:56.880 the Europe we know today. But who were these brother peoples, perhaps existing in Europe 178 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:01.840 before Jordanus claims the Goths departed, and existing still when they returned? 179 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:08.480 And what of them? There exists an immense amount of evidence of an impressively competent 180 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:15.840 seafaring population that explored, mined, and even settled far and wide. If true, 181 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:19.680 the book we'll be discussing in this video speaks well to this missing puzzle piece. 182 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:26.240 One of the most difficult aspects of piecing together our true history, a problem encountered 183 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:31.280 by every historian that's made the attempt over the past millennia, is that tendency of the Aryan 184 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:36.800 or dramatic peoples to pass the bulk of their most important knowledge down via oral transmission, 185 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:43.360 thereby allowing skilled bards to give the words life and spirit, depth and meaning, 186 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:49.280 something one simply can't get from coldly clinical marks scrawled on a flat surface. 187 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:58.560 History, to be worth anything, must be alive with spirit, and in fact its leading purpose as an art 188 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:06.480 is to transfuse this spirit and energy across time and space. This modern conception of the 189 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:11.600 memorization of lifeless facts and figures would have been a very foreign one to their mentality, 190 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:18.640 and likely one they'd have been confused by and deemed deeply unhealthy. Of course, 191 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:24.240 this lack of written history creates a problem for us as their descendants, having long since lost 192 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.560 our bards and even our very recognition of the invaluable service they provided. 193 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:35.440 I've mentioned before, and I'd like to reiterate, I can't ascribe to that general narrative regarding 194 0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:41.200 the ancestors of modern day Europeans always living on this same patch of land, and more 195 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:47.200 effectively phrased, only living on this same patch of land. The number of historical accounts 196 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:53.520 that contradict this idea is massive and still growing, as even today we occasionally uncover 197 0:21:53.520 --> 0:22:00.640 writings, carvings, or other related proofs. For decades, academics have made something of a sport 198 0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:06.480 of aggressively mocking Irish legends connected to Egypt, and subsequent redheaded Egyptian 199 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:11.840 pharaohs discovered with a far stronger genetic connection to northwestern Europe than to present 200 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:17.760 day Egyptians, or Scottish accounts of their ties with the Scythians, or Spanish and German 201 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:23.200 accounts of Gothic ancestry, and the numerous histories of Goths roaming back into Europe from 202 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:30.000 the Black Sea region. The Franks have the Avesta Francorum, and the Brits have Geoffrey of Monmouth, 203 0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:35.440 and the Romans have Virgil, and their Brutus and Aeneas as progenitors and founding elements of 204 0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:41.760 their respective nations, directly alluding to ties to the Trojans, and referring to a displacement 205 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:48.560 of peoples after the fall of Troy. Egypt, India, and Persia, extending all the way into the Tarim 206 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:54.720 Basin and beyond, are replete with stories of different races of peoples, and very clearly 207 0:22:54.720 --> 0:23:00.800 speak of a group they describe as taller in stature, very often reported to have fair hair and eyes, 208 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:08.320 and have left numerous visual examples behind to attest to this type. The Tarim Basin mummies still 209 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:13.600 had preserved tartan pattern clothing of the style very similar to that found in modern Scotland, 210 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.920 and many of these fair-haired remains were as tall as six and a half feet. 211 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:24.240 When you approach any of these individual cases as a niche historical specialist, 212 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:29.040 especially with a prejudicial mind, it's not impossible to craft a story as to why these 213 0:23:29.040 --> 0:23:34.080 accounts might somehow appear untruthful, and laugh and mock them out of the public eye. 214 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:40.320 But anyone approaching the topic a bit more like a detective, that is to say, taking into account 215 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:46.480 the full context picture, especially in an interdisciplinary manner, can't possibly continue 216 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:53.280 to mock such ideas. And those that choose the route of such mockery do so from extremely shaky 217 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:59.360 ground, from an equally shaky premise. The conventional academic historical perspective 218 0:23:59.360 --> 0:24:06.320 has proved absurdly inaccurate time and time again, a truth best exemplified by the need to 219 0:24:06.320 --> 0:24:11.280 rewrite human history each and every time a gobekli tepe has discovered, for example. 220 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:18.000 And the root of this inaccuracy seems to be their unwillingness to see unity and commonality in 221 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:24.720 peoples across space and time, or the potential for a civilization capable of traveling vast distances 222 0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:31.920 and spreading or imparting knowledge, symbols, belief systems. So let's play this theory forward 223 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:38.960 a bit. It's my opinion that much of our historical confusion seems to spring from the fact that, 224 0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:44.640 as this family tree of people split off and spread throughout the world, they often became known by 225 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:50.000 several different names, even a single branch sometimes being referred to by several names 226 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:57.200 simultaneously. A bit like how a modern German might be called Deutsch, Allemagne, even Saxa 227 0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:03.760 or Saxima by the Finnish and Estonians, and modern Germanic peoples are known under a still 228 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:09.520 larger number of different labels. And recall that the Scythians that moved into India were most 229 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:16.400 often called the Scythi. Many historians have used the term Arian and Scythian interchangeably, 230 0:25:16.400 --> 0:25:24.160 or Scythian and Goth, or Goth and Saxon, or Saxon and Phrygian, or Phrygian and Jute, 231 0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:30.720 or Jutes and Danes. One could go on and on here. In fact, in a historical account of Alfred the 232 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:36.240 Great by Asser, he speaks of King Alfred's mother being descended from Goths and Jutes, 233 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:42.400 and practically identifies them as being one race. It's also intriguing, and perhaps not entirely 234 0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:50.000 unrelated, that Herodotus speaks of Hyperborea in the same breath as Scythia. Might it be that 235 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:55.760 similar overlap and conflation of peoples existed in more ancient times? I think the answer here is 236 0:25:55.760 --> 0:26:01.760 almost certainly yes, and likely to an even greater degree than today. Ashoka, the emperor 237 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:09.600 of the Mariya dynasty in India around 250 BC, is a good example here. His grandmother a Greek princess, 238 0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:14.720 his pillars of Greek design, and he seems to have a very strong connection to Persia in a number of 239 0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:21.360 ways. Heracles is another, a figure claimed by several Indo-Europeans as their progenitor or 240 0:26:21.360 --> 0:26:27.360 heroic figure. Scholars that have studied both the Avesta and the Rig Veda, two of the oldest and 241 0:26:27.360 --> 0:26:32.480 most foundational documents in the Aryan tradition from India and Persia, have noted the immense 242 0:26:32.480 --> 0:26:40.000 overlap and correlation and similarity. Similar lowercase g gods, similar references to horses 243 0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:47.600 and chariots and horse sacrifice, or their caste systems, or soma. The term Aryan certainly seems 244 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:54.720 to be a tie that binds, acting as some connective tissue across time and space. But scholars seem to 245 0:26:54.720 --> 0:27:02.000 be confused and conflicted, especially since World War II, about this word. Some adamantly claim that 246 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:08.640 it refers to only peoples hailing from ancient Iran. Others, equally adamantly, claim it references 247 0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:15.360 only those from India. Some claim it meant noble, exalted, and other positive attributes, and was 248 0:27:15.360 --> 0:27:22.080 only a descriptor of cultivated traits and tendencies. Others claim it obviously referred to a people group. 249 0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.160 I tend to think it may well have been a reference to all of the above. 250 0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:32.800 An exceptional people and culture, who formed the elite and ruling caste of the vast majority of the 251 0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:38.400 region, from which many great sages and leaders happened to spring, and who then proceeded to 252 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:45.840 spread far and wide across significant stretches of time. And in a related point, scholars often 253 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:51.120 like to speak of peoples like the Scythians or Kushans, or similarly sprawling and ill-defined 254 0:27:51.120 --> 0:27:56.880 peoples and cultures, including the Goths and Germanic elements later on, as if they exclusively 255 0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:03.280 picked up notions, technological developments, artistic styles, and customs and traditions 256 0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:09.680 from large numbers of neighboring nations. And this may well be true in some sense. But I'm curious 257 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:15.760 as to why the possibility is never entertained that they instead put down such notions, artistic 258 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:22.400 styles, technological developments, customs, and traditions. Many seem to take it as a given that 259 0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:28.640 they borrowed, as opposed to their being part of a singular widespread culture operating above and 260 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:34.960 across what we today conceive as national boundaries, and being more racial and genetic in character 261 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:42.560 than merely region or location bound. This is vital to bear in mind. As nearly every first-hand 262 0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:48.240 account makes so abundantly clear, historical peoples almost always saw themselves as a race, 263 0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:54.640 tribe, or extended family with kinship ties. Whereas modern academics will attempt to use 264 0:28:54.640 --> 0:29:00.800 any other classification method they're able to dream up, be it burial customs, pottery, created 265 0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:07.600 or traded goods, language, and perform any amount of mental gymnastics necessary to avoid classifying 266 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:14.560 and viewing these peoples as they seem to have classified and viewed themselves. To use an extreme 267 0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:19.280 example to illustrate the point, consider just how muddy the historical picture might become 268 0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:25.760 if in some future date, let's say after some massive natural disaster, historians and archaeologists 269 0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:33.040 sifting through the remains of South Africa noticed similar man-made goods, similar building styles, 270 0:29:33.040 --> 0:29:38.720 and burial traditions, and thus took the initiative to place both Dutch Afrikaners and 271 0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:45.440 Black Africans under a single people group label, and this label was then used as the foundation for 272 0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:51.200 further classification around the world, causing future discoveries of both Dutch or African 273 0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:57.040 populations uncovered anywhere else to potentially be labeled as part of a South African nation 274 0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:03.040 or diaspora. This would set us back tremendously, as it wouldn't be reflective of the reality of 275 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:09.840 the situation in the least. Black Africans don't consider themselves the same as Dutch Afrikaners 276 0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:16.320 and vice versa, even if they may both drink the same sodas or use similar dishes or bury their 277 0:30:16.320 --> 0:30:24.080 loved ones in a similar fashion. In short, if we hope to piece together a reliable understanding 278 0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:29.920 of history, we have to understand and make use of the same lineage and ancestry-based framework 279 0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:35.600 and perspective through which they viewed their own world, and also recognize that not only are 280 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:40.960 the populations living in these regions today in many cases poorly representative of those who lived 281 0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:46.800 and ruled there long ago, but that our modern border demarcations and names and labels for 282 0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:52.720 nations and cultures so often bear little to no resemblance whatsoever to those in common usage 283 0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:59.680 long ago. Cultivating a sensible historical picture is an art and needs to be treated as such. 284 0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:05.920 In the Oralinda, we have a work which speaks of a people for whom sea travel was second nature, 285 0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:13.040 to whom modern national boundaries were meaningless. Their progenitor, Friah, is mentioned in the 286 0:31:13.040 --> 0:31:19.440 Persian Avesta as the personification of love. The OLB speaks to adventures and settlements in Greece 287 0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:24.960 and India, touches upon a genetic connection to an Egyptian leader, military operations with 288 0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:31.840 Alexander the Great and his Macedonians. I've long felt this propensity to travel and explore, 289 0:31:31.840 --> 0:31:36.240 coupled with what seems to be a custom of periodically sending off their most energetic 290 0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:42.240 elements of excess population, is likely why the genetic and historical picture is so difficult 291 0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:48.160 for modern academics to unravel and make sense of. It seems these people went nearly everywhere. 292 0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:56.000 As we now know, the languages spoken by these supposedly distinct peoples are deeply intertwined 293 0:31:56.000 --> 0:32:02.160 and interconnected. William Jones, exceptional scholar and philologist of the late 1700s, 294 0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:07.440 was so struck by the similarities between Greek, Sanskrit and Latin that he stated, quote, 295 0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:13.760 a stronger affinity than could possibly have been produced by accident. So strong indeed that no 296 0:32:13.760 --> 0:32:18.240 philologist could examine all three of them without believing them to have sprung from some common 297 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:26.400 source, which perhaps no longer exists, end quote. And with these words, just two short centuries ago, 298 0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:31.760 the concept of a lost mother tongue laying at the foundation of all Indo-European languages 299 0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:38.160 was spoken into being. The linguistic dimension of the historical puzzle is hugely important, 300 0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:45.520 and it's interesting to note that languages like Lithuanian and the Dutch Phrygian-Saxon-Germanic 301 0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:51.920 root tongue appears to be even more similar to Proto-Indo-European than Hebrew, Greek or Latin. 302 0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:57.760 Some language experts now claim that Gothic and Old Prussian may even be the most similar of all. 303 0:32:59.120 --> 0:33:03.920 And it was less than two centuries ago the German linguist Friedrich Max Müller found what he 304 0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:10.000 believed to be evidence of an ancient invasion of India by the Arya. New Zealand polymath Edward 305 0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:16.160 Trigger further argued that an Aryan tidal wave had washed over India and continued to push south 306 0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:20.480 through the islands of the East Indian archipelago reaching the distant shores of New Zealand. 307 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:27.040 Scholars such as John Batchelor, Armand de Quatrefage and Daniel Brinton extended this 308 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:33.200 invasion theory to the Philippines, Hawaii and Japan, identifying indigenous peoples who they 309 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:39.680 believed were the descendants of early Aryan conquerors. Recently, the Asaburg Buddha was 310 0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:45.040 discovered in Helgo, Sweden. The standard procedure in such cases is for academics to 311 0:33:45.040 --> 0:33:50.640 presume trade brought the figure to the area from far off, but in this case the artifact has been 312 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:57.600 proven to have been created nearby, possibly Ireland or England. We've discussed in the past 313 0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:03.120 how Gautama Buddha was always described as fair-skinned with blue eyes, indicating an Arya 314 0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:09.680 lineage, and this Gautama seems to be etymologically connected to the Gaut or Gautas of 315 0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:16.160 Gothic tradition, a figure still listed in many Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies, representing an 316 0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:22.400 ancestor or national god in their origin stories. This isn't to say that they were the same person, 317 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:26.880 but rather that the name or title seems to spring from the same language and tradition. 318 0:34:28.240 --> 0:34:31.520 I mention these examples to partially outline just how little we know, 319 0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:37.200 and how much of this picture is still to be properly uncovered, communicated and understood. 320 0:34:38.320 --> 0:34:42.960 And unfortunately, we've entered a sensitivity-obsessed era in which honest and 321 0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:49.440 effective research on these topics is essentially impossible. And again, I'd like to reiterate the 322 0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:54.480 point that I think we need to be very careful to remember that just because two different labels 323 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:59.760 or names are used for two historical peoples, this certainly doesn't definitively prove that 324 0:34:59.760 --> 0:35:05.680 it's not essentially one singular people and culture being referenced. To properly determine 325 0:35:05.680 --> 0:35:11.360 this, one needs to analyze a full spectrum of attributes. The language spoken, if evidence is 326 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:17.600 available. The cultural customs and traditions. The style of art or pottery or goods. The style 327 0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:23.360 of ship or military equipment used, among other factors. When we notice exceptional similarities 328 0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:28.720 between two peoples across several of these categories, chances are very good, in my experience, 329 0:35:28.720 --> 0:35:34.240 that there's an equally strong genetic connection, and that any myths or stories or historical 330 0:35:34.240 --> 0:35:40.400 accounts connecting the two peoples deserve to be taken more seriously. This makes perfect sense, 331 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:45.680 of course, as shifts in a way of life can alter any one of these specific attributes fairly 332 0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:51.360 significantly, but almost never a complete shift across all or even most of these categories. 333 0:35:52.240 --> 0:35:57.600 In other words, large groups of homogeneous peoples don't change in fundamental ways from 334 0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:04.720 top to bottom in any short period of time. I can't help but see an immense overlap in the 335 0:36:04.720 --> 0:36:09.840 tone of the Orelinda book and that of the Nordic sagas, or the accounts and stories of the ancient 336 0:36:09.840 --> 0:36:16.560 Scythians, or the Goths, or the Germanic peoples more generally. To the extent that, if proven 337 0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:21.360 legitimate, this work may lie nearer to the center of a long-standing cultural tradition 338 0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:26.640 than virtually any other I'm aware of. There's even a chance that this is why the work is seen 339 0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:33.040 as such a threat by some, especially post-World War II and with an academic environment dominated 340 0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:38.880 by individuals that seem keen on playing favorites in the spirit of the age and aggressively rewriting 341 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:46.640 history accordingly. Yet just because an absurdly dishonest and partisan academia so rejects the work 342 0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:52.560 with a uniquely passionate hostility certainly doesn't make it legitimate, and it's obvious why 343 0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:57.840 they would mount such frenzied attacks. Not only is it a bit jarring relative to conventional 344 0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:03.440 historical understanding, but the book speaks very frankly on matters of race in a manner 345 0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:09.520 many might be horrified by in the current atmosphere, describing the three mothers of all mankind as 346 0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:16.640 something akin to racial archetypes, going on to list perceived strengths and weaknesses accordingly, 347 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:22.160 and repeatedly stressing the need to avoid indiscriminate intermixture, resulting in 348 0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:28.400 destruction or dilution of these types. This is balanced with a magnanimous kindness and an 349 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:34.400 extremely impressive sense of natural justice and fairness with regard to outsiders, especially those 350 0:37:34.400 --> 0:37:41.040 in need. Yet this kindness is always coupled with the conception of vigilance, wariness, and prudence, 351 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:48.720 and the idea of a people eager to help but at arm's length to ensure their own sense of morals 352 0:37:48.720 --> 0:37:56.560 and ethics might always survive. This is a constant refrain. Retaining their proper orientation and 353 0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:03.040 healthy way of life is emphasized time and time again, and yet they believe themselves uniquely 354 0:38:03.040 --> 0:38:09.280 gifted in this one sense, as if this sense of justice and harmony sprang from the inside out. 355 0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:17.840 A tradition of quote, berg maidens is mentioned, especially chosen women similar to vestal virgins 356 0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:23.760 or even the oracle in Greek tradition. While the supreme being is referenced as male, the earthly 357 0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:29.520 mother is of course female in the traditional sky father earth mother conception that remains 358 0:38:29.520 --> 0:38:36.400 constant across most ancient beliefs and myths. This has caused some to speculate that this was 359 0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:42.960 a matriarchal society, but I'm not sure I agree with this. Especially in times of serene peace 360 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:48.480 in this homogeneous society that focused so heavily on peace, harmony, and true justice, 361 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:54.640 this national mother figure seems to act as a manager of the household in service of Rolda. 362 0:38:55.200 --> 0:39:01.120 Inward looking, balancing, and peacekeeping, while the more proactive masculine element is the 363 0:39:01.120 --> 0:39:07.120 creative and manifesting force that strikes outward from this home base. Tacitus and other 364 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:12.320 writers remark more than once on just how much both the ancient Germans and Scythians prized 365 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:18.240 the counsel and intuitive judgment of their best oriented women, specifically virgins set aside for 366 0:39:18.240 --> 0:39:24.000 this role, those isolated from the more petty and negative and draining events of daily life. 367 0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:29.920 And to interject some subjective speculation for a moment, this makes some sense to me. 368 0:39:30.640 --> 0:39:36.400 In times of peace and harmony, if peace and harmony is the goal, and if jackals aren't breaking 369 0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:42.080 down the gates as a constant subversive threat, perhaps the most innocent and untarnished mind 370 0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:48.160 and mindset provided for the calmest water with regard to keeping the house in good order, 371 0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:52.640 maintaining high standards in this regard, and keeping friction to a minimum. 372 0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:59.280 The conception of virgin burg maidens, some of whom chose to step down from their role in order 373 0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:04.800 to marry, also strikes me as a means for a people to be much more certain of the lineage of their 374 0:40:04.800 --> 0:40:10.560 leadership, all but eliminating the possibility of a promiscuous queen or princess becoming pregnant 375 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:17.680 as a result of a secretive affair or courtly intrigue. However, when times become much more 376 0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:23.280 difficult or contentious, as is seen in the OLB itself with the rise of their first officially 377 0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:29.360 recorded king on European soil, Friso, when serious threats begin to appear and waters grow 378 0:40:29.360 --> 0:40:35.280 choppy and chaotic, it seems a shift in structure was seen as necessary, and the influence then 379 0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:40.560 shifted entirely to the masculine end of the spectrum, to begin to err on the side of hardness 380 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:46.000 and strength. And speaking of water, I'd be remiss if we didn't speak to the oldest account 381 0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:52.480 recorded in the work, which claims to stretch all the way back to 2190 BC and speaks of an immense 382 0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:58.640 flood throwing a once peaceful world into complete disarray. Many other histories like those of Sumer, 383 0:40:58.640 --> 0:41:05.280 for example, stretch back to this period and beyond, and nearly all speak of floods. But 384 0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:10.320 academics have tended to treat them all as fictional or allegory or otherwise dismiss them, 385 0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:16.960 and few have been as clear and direct and detailed as this account handed down in the OLB. 386 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:24.480 Quote, How Aldlin Sank. 2190 BCE. How the bad times came. 387 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:30.800 During the whole summer, Sun had hidden behind the clouds as if she did not want to see Earth. 388 0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:38.480 Wind rested in his bags, causing smoke and steam to stand like pillars over the houses and pools. 389 0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:44.880 This made the air become dreary and dull, and neither joy nor pleasure were in the hearts of 390 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:51.680 people. In the midst of this stillness, Earth began to tremble as if she was dying. Mountains 391 0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:57.920 split open to spew out fire and flames. Many others sank into her bowels, and where there had 392 0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:06.160 been plains before, mountains rose up. Aldland, or atland as the steersmen say, sank down, and the 393 0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:11.200 foaming waves tread over mountain and valley in such a way that everything was submerged. 394 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:17.520 Many people were buried alive, and many who had escaped the fire later perished in the water. 395 0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:24.960 Not only in the lands of Finda did mountains spew fire, but also in Twistland. As a result, 396 0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:30.320 forests burned one after the other, and when wind came from there, our lands were covered with 397 0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:36.560 ashes. Rivers changed their course, and at their mouths new islands were formed of sand and drowned 398 0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:42.560 animals. Earth suffered like this for three years, but when she recovered, one could see her wounds. 399 0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:48.720 Many lands were submerged, others had risen out of the sea, and half of the Twistland had been 400 0:42:48.720 --> 0:42:55.520 deforested. Bands of Finda's folk came roaming across the empty spaces, and our dispersed people 401 0:42:55.520 --> 0:43:02.160 were exterminated or became their allies. This forced us to be twice as vigilant, and time taught 402 0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:10.720 us that unity is our strongest bird." This calls to mind Plato and his work Temeus, in which 403 0:43:10.720 --> 0:43:16.400 Solon has a discussion with a priest residing in Egypt. Many modern editions of this work are 404 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:22.720 replete with hour-long dogmatic introductions intended to debunk the ideas expressed, but it's 405 0:43:22.720 --> 0:43:28.640 important to remember that Plato himself said the following, quote, this tale about Atlantis, though 406 0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:34.880 strange, is certainly true, having been attested by Solon, who was the wisest of the seven sages, 407 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:39.920 end quote. A snippet of the tale is as follows, quote, 408 0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:37.840 and thus you have to begin over again as children, and know nothing of what happened in ancient times, 409 0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:44.080 either among us or among yourselves. As for those genealogies of yours which you have related to us, 410 0:44:44.080 --> 0:44:49.360 they are no better than the tales of children. For in the first place you remember one deluge 411 0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:54.800 only, whereas there were a number of them, and in the next place there dwelt in your land, 412 0:44:54.800 --> 0:45:00.480 which you do not know, the fairest and noblest race of men that ever lived, of which you are 413 0:45:00.480 --> 0:45:06.080 but a seed or remnant. And this was not known to you, because for many generations the survivors 414 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:13.200 of that destruction made no records, end quote. Atlantis itself is far too tricky and sprawling 415 0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:19.200 a topic to get into in this video, but I can state this with confidence. I do believe we know very 416 0:45:19.200 --> 0:45:24.400 little about our true history as yet, especially stretching back beyond the birth of Christ, 417 0:45:24.400 --> 0:45:31.440 and even more so beyond 2 or 3000 BC. It seems a significant cause of this is likely some mixture 418 0:45:31.440 --> 0:45:37.920 of immense natural disasters, followed by lost or intentionally ignored truthful accounts, 419 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:44.960 and perhaps even aggressively pushed untruthful, derivative and speculative accounts. I've seen 420 0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:50.720 enough to be relatively certain of this much. Shame and mockery and the resulting reputation 421 0:45:50.720 --> 0:45:56.160 considerations has chased more people away from a deep dive into these topics than definitive and 422 0:45:56.160 --> 0:46:01.760 provable truths or fact pictures have, and this certainly isn't how the science should function. 423 0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:06.480 And it's interesting to me just how much of what Plato says about these ancients, 424 0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:12.320 about his ideal form of living, seems to match so closely with the royal Scythian or Gothic or 425 0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:18.800 Freien culture and that of the Germans observed by Tacitus. Montaigne tells us quote, 426 0:46:42.320 --> 0:47:11.600 I think it's significant that the term plague is used here. The prescience and 427 0:47:11.600 --> 0:47:15.760 prophetic nature of the wisdom expressed by these ancient sages is remarkable, 428 0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:20.640 and this wisdom is seemingly made manifest by these more ancient cultures. 429 0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:27.360 The Freien's of the OLB speak to these ravages caused by plagues, caused by lax trade and 430 0:47:27.360 --> 0:47:33.520 migration policy, and a reduced discipline and vigilance allowing sickness to ***** in undetected. 431 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:40.720 But they seem even more on guard against spiritual or cultural plagues. Their first and foremost 432 0:47:40.720 --> 0:47:45.840 concern wasn't forcing others to adopt their viewpoints or way of life, but rather maintaining 433 0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:53.040 their own high standards in these regards at all costs. The OLB tells a story of the Freien people 434 0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:59.360 dealing with a hostile neighboring element with deceptive and subversive intent, to the extent 435 0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:06.000 that they'd taken to luring away, even kidnapping, Freien children, the most attractive or charismatic 436 0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:10.800 of which, then often return as walking advertisements for this foreign element, 437 0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:16.000 whose corrupt leaders are referred to as the Magus, essentially enslaved by them, 438 0:48:16.000 --> 0:48:21.440 and with a mission to spread their doctrine. Then the OLB tells us quote, 439 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:59.280 Yesterday some of you suggested that we mobilize to force the Eastern states back to the old customs, 440 0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:04.000 but in my humble opinion that would fail miserably. Imagine if our cattle had been 441 0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:09.280 plagued by a serious lung disease, which was still raging badly there. Would you then risk 442 0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:14.880 mixing your healthy animals with their sick ones? Surely not. As we all must agree and 443 0:49:14.880 --> 0:49:19.520 confirm that this would turn into a disaster, who then would be so reckless as to dare send 444 0:49:19.520 --> 0:49:25.840 his children into the midst of an utterly depraved folk? End quote. This is a constant 445 0:49:25.840 --> 0:49:32.240 refrain throughout. These were a people with high walls, metaphorically, who sought to lead or 446 0:49:32.320 --> 0:49:38.240 inspire by example, not force. Very much contrary to the ambitious proponents of slavery, 447 0:49:38.240 --> 0:49:43.600 in the broadest sense of that word, that seemed to be a constant threat and thorn in their sides. 448 0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:50.320 There's a specific back and forth dialogue between a Burgmaiden, purported to be Helena, 449 0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:56.160 whose given name was actually Minerva, and a group of corrupt priests reminiscent of the Pharisees 450 0:49:56.160 --> 0:50:02.400 that well illustrates this. Quote, when Ny Helena, or Helena, whose own name was Minerva, 451 0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:07.760 was well established, and the Greeks loved her almost as much as her own folk, some princes and 452 0:50:07.760 --> 0:50:14.640 priests came to the Burg and asked her where her inherited states, or erva, were. Helena answered, 453 0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:22.320 I carry men, that is, my erva, in my heart. What I inherited is love of wisdom, justice, and freedom. 454 0:50:23.120 --> 0:50:28.720 If I lost that, I would be like the lowest of your slaves. Now I give advice for free, 455 0:50:28.720 --> 0:50:36.080 but then I would sell it. The dignitaries left and shouted, mockingly, we are your obedient servants, 456 0:50:36.080 --> 0:50:41.680 wise Helena. But they failed in their ridicule, for the folk that loved and followed her took 457 0:50:41.680 --> 0:50:47.120 this name as a name of honor. When the dignitaries realized they had missed their target, they started 458 0:50:47.120 --> 0:50:52.880 accusing her and said she had bewitched the folk. But our folk and the good Greeks asserted 459 0:50:52.880 --> 0:50:58.960 everywhere that it was slander. Once they came and asked, so if you are not a sorceress, then what is 460 0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:04.480 the purpose of the eggs you always have with you? Minerva answered, these eggs are the symbol of 461 0:51:04.480 --> 0:51:11.680 Freya's councils, in which our future and that of all humankind lies concealed. Time must hatch them, 462 0:51:12.240 --> 0:51:18.480 protect them from being damaged. The priests replied, well said, but what is that hound at 463 0:51:18.480 --> 0:51:25.040 your right hand side for? Helena answered, does not the shepherd have a sheep dog to keep his herd 464 0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:31.360 together? Just like the dog serves the shepherd, I am in Freya's service. I must watch over her flock. 465 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:37.680 That makes sense indeed, said the priest. But tell us, what is the meaning of the night owl that is 466 0:51:37.680 --> 0:51:42.720 always sitting on your head? Might that light shunning animal be the sign of your clairvoyance? 467 0:51:43.600 --> 0:51:49.200 No, Helena answered. He helps me remember that a certain kind of people is wandering the earth, 468 0:51:49.200 --> 0:51:56.000 also living in temples and holes, gnawing in the dark, but not like him helping to rid us of mice 469 0:51:56.000 --> 0:52:01.520 and other plagues, but rather to invent tricks to rob other people of their knowledge, so they can 470 0:52:01.520 --> 0:52:05.440 more easily seize and enslave them and suck their blood like leeches. 471 0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:11.760 Once, when the plague had come to the land, they came with a crowd of people and said, 472 0:52:11.760 --> 0:52:16.720 we are all making offerings to the gods so that they might ward off the plague. Will you not help 473 0:52:16.720 --> 0:52:22.800 calm their wrath, or did you bring the plague over the land with your arts? No, Minerva said. 474 0:52:23.360 --> 0:52:29.920 Since I do not know any gods that do evil, I cannot ask them to be nicer. I know only one god 475 0:52:29.920 --> 0:52:34.880 that is Raldes' spirit, and because god means good, he also does no evil. 476 0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:41.920 Where does evil come from, then? the priests asked. All evil comes from yourselves and from 477 0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:47.760 the stupidity of the people that walk into your trap. So if your supreme being is all that good, 478 0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:55.040 then why does he not avert evil? the priests asked. Helena answered. Freya has put us on the path, 479 0:52:55.040 --> 0:53:01.840 and the carrier that is time must do the rest. For all disasters, counsel and help can be found, 480 0:53:01.840 --> 0:53:08.160 but Raldes wants us to search ourselves, so we shall become strong and wise. If we refuse, 481 0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:14.080 he lets us squeeze out our own tumors, so we shall experience the results of wise and foolish deeds. 482 0:53:15.680 --> 0:53:22.560 A prince replied, I would imagine it better to simply ward off disaster. Of course, Helena 483 0:53:22.560 --> 0:53:28.400 answered, because then people would remain like tame sheep. You and the priests want to protect, 484 0:53:28.400 --> 0:53:34.480 but also to shear and slaughter them, but that is not what our supreme being wants. He wants us to 485 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:40.880 help each other, but also that all be free and become wise. Because we want that too, our folk 486 0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:47.040 elects our leaders, reeves, counselors, and all chieftains and masters from the wisest of the 487 0:53:47.040 --> 0:53:54.000 good people, so all will do their best to become wise and good. This way, we will know and teach 488 0:53:54.000 --> 0:53:59.520 the folks at the same time, that only being wise and acting wisely leads to glory. 489 0:54:01.280 --> 0:54:06.240 That is quite a statement, the priests said, but if you imply that the plague is a result of our 490 0:54:06.240 --> 0:54:11.120 ignorance, then would nigh Helena be so good as to live up to her proud name and enlighten us? 491 0:54:11.920 --> 0:54:18.480 Yes, Helena said, crows and other birds only feed on falcarion, whereas the plague not only likes 492 0:54:18.480 --> 0:54:24.400 falcarion, but also foul ethics, customs, and addictions. If you want the plague to leave for 493 0:54:24.400 --> 0:54:29.680 good, you must overcome the addictions and all must become pure, inside and out. 494 0:54:31.360 --> 0:54:36.240 We want to believe your counsel is good, said the priests, but tell us, how are we supposed to 495 0:54:36.800 --> 0:54:42.640 improve all the people under our rule? Then Helena rose from her seat and said, 496 0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:48.960 the sparrows follow the sower, the folks their good leaders. Therefore, you must begin by purifying 497 0:54:48.960 --> 0:54:54.400 yourselves, so that you may look within and without, without turning red from shame before 498 0:54:54.400 --> 0:55:00.240 your own conscience. Now, instead of purifying the people, you have invented foul feasts where 499 0:55:00.240 --> 0:55:05.760 they drink so excessively that they end up rooting in the mud like pigs, ready to satisfy 500 0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:12.800 your vile lusts. The people began to yell and scold, so that she did not dare to engage in any 501 0:55:12.800 --> 0:55:18.080 further debate. One might have expected that they would have mobilized people everywhere to expel 502 0:55:18.080 --> 0:55:24.000 us altogether from the land. No, instead of accusing her, they went everywhere, even to the 503 0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:29.200 near Greeklands, up to the Alps, declaring that it had pleased the most supreme being to send his 504 0:55:29.200 --> 0:55:35.440 wise daughter Minerva, nicknamed Nyhalena, among the people on a cloud from the sea, to give them 505 0:55:35.440 --> 0:55:40.960 good counsel, and that all who would hear her should become rich and happy, and eventually 506 0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:46.480 should rule the whole kingdom of the earth. They erected statues of her on their altars, 507 0:55:46.480 --> 0:55:52.480 or sold them to the simple people. They announced councils everywhere that she had never given, 508 0:55:52.480 --> 0:55:58.320 and related miracles that she had never performed. They cunningly made themselves masters of our laws 509 0:55:58.320 --> 0:56:03.360 and customs, and they managed to explain and distort them all through misinterpretations. 510 0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:07.680 They also placed maidens under their care, pretending these were under the care of Vesta, 511 0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:13.520 our first honorable mother, to watch over the divine light. However, they had lit that light 512 0:56:13.520 --> 0:56:18.960 themselves, and instead of properly educating these maidens before sending them among the people 513 0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:24.080 to nurse the sick and teach the children, they kept them ignorant and dimmed their light, 514 0:56:24.080 --> 0:56:30.320 and did not allow them to come outside. They were also used as counselors, but that council 515 0:56:30.720 --> 0:56:36.000 only appeared to come from their own lips, as in reality their lips were nothing but the mouthpiece 516 0:56:36.000 --> 0:56:39.840 through which the priests promulgated their own desires. End quote. 517 0:56:41.840 --> 0:56:48.000 A defining characteristic of these people may be this anti-corruption and anti-parasitic instinct, 518 0:56:48.560 --> 0:56:53.120 which again seems to lie at the heart of the core of the Indo-European tradition. 519 0:56:54.160 --> 0:56:58.480 The Vedas, the Avesta, the laws of Manu, the Scythian or Germanic or Scythian or 520 0:56:58.880 --> 0:57:02.880 Germanic or Saxon law codes, all stress these themes. 521 0:57:04.560 --> 0:57:10.080 In the fascinating general laws section of the Oralinda book, we hear, quote, 522 0:57:10.080 --> 0:57:16.080 Those who come to the market are strictly forbidden to commit usury. If any who do should come, 523 0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:20.160 the maidens are obliged to make them known throughout the whole land, so that they will 524 0:57:20.160 --> 0:57:26.960 never be chosen for any office, for such folk have vulture-like hearts. To accumulate wealth, 525 0:57:26.960 --> 0:57:33.680 they would betray all, the folk, the mother, their relatives, and ultimately themselves. End quote. 526 0:57:35.440 --> 0:57:40.560 This seems to be the work of a people with extremely high standards with regard to justice 527 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:47.040 and noble virtue, who appear to be shadowed across time and space by a fraudulent and corrupt 528 0:57:47.040 --> 0:57:52.240 priestly class and their subverted princes representing a polar opposite culture, 529 0:57:52.800 --> 0:57:59.600 who seek gains in power and influence by any means necessary, and aggressively degrade nations and 530 0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:05.040 peoples to create fertile ground for these gains, one of the many parallels with our own age. 531 0:58:06.640 --> 0:58:11.520 And these extremely high standards are exactly what you would expect from a population acting 532 0:58:11.520 --> 0:58:15.680 as the central pillar at the head of a confederacy of kindred peoples. 533 0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:19.200 A constant vigilance and wariness, extreme discipline and a hard-line devotion to remaining 534 0:58:19.200 --> 0:58:23.200 pure and upright, and retaining the most important lessons of old at the forefront of their 535 0:58:23.200 --> 0:58:29.200 consciousness. A legitimate seed people, whose branches might stretch out in all directions over 536 0:58:29.200 --> 0:58:36.400 time, would need to be exactly this, a strong and sturdy trunk acting as a powerful foundation. 537 0:58:36.400 --> 0:58:42.080 And speaking of seed people, these were certainly a Germanic people, but as to their connections 538 0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:46.480 with those hailing from the nation of Germany itself, there are a few curious passages that 539 0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:52.640 seem to indicate they called these people the Gerdmen, from the root Gerd or Gert, and they're 540 0:58:52.640 --> 0:58:58.400 spoken of more than once as close kin, not merely in a familial and genetic context. 541 0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:25.600 That seems to indicate that other talks such as this had begun to stray significantly, perhaps at 542 0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:30.400 the hands of those insatiable wolves in sheep's clothing mentioned a moment ago. 543 0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:37.840 The Gertman-German connection, especially in the context of India and Alexander the Great, 544 0:59:38.400 --> 0:59:44.640 is made all the more intriguing by a DNA study in 2014 by Helenthal, which found that the swiftly 545 0:59:44.640 --> 0:59:49.840 disappearing Kalash people still living around modern Pakistan, who claimed to be descended 546 0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:56.080 from the soldiers of Alexander the Great, showed, quote, input from modern-day Germany and Austria 547 0:59:56.080 --> 1:00:02.960 between 990 and 210 BC, end quote, intriguing hints as to the potential genetic background 548 1:00:02.960 --> 1:00:10.240 of Alexander and his armies. A translated fragment of the Chronicles of the Saxons reads, quote, 549 1:00:11.120 --> 1:00:16.720 I find written that the Saxons have come from the army of Alexander the Great. Some suggest that 550 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:21.680 they descended from the Britannic people, others from the Danes. However all that may be, 551 1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:27.040 it has its value. I find in the history of Alexander the Great, though, that after his death, 552 1:00:27.040 --> 1:00:32.880 his army split and spread all over the world. So the Saxons may have wandered about for a long time 553 1:00:32.880 --> 1:00:38.080 and fought sea battles against the Roman Emperor Valentino until part of them arrived in Prussia 554 1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:44.080 and another part here in this country which is now called Saxony, and thus rooted and multiplied, end 555 1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:50.000 quote. And on a related note, a strong connection has been noted between German folk tales and 556 1:00:50.000 --> 1:00:57.760 stories in the OLB. So before we conclude this video and move into part two, a quick summary. 557 1:00:59.040 --> 1:01:05.440 History is not only written by the victors, but most often by empires, specifically those with 558 1:01:05.440 --> 1:01:11.200 a motive to create a certain framework of understanding to aid in their aims of control or influence. 559 1:01:11.200 --> 1:01:16.880 What if a large and sprawling confederacy of peoples existed that wasn't just averse to 560 1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:23.520 writing replacing oral transmission of ideas, but also very much anti-empire, philosophically 561 1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:28.720 and ideologically, for whom the prospect of bringing foreign peoples under their rule 562 1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:34.880 was an extreme net negative, and slavery, for the purpose of material gain, was viewed as a 563 1:01:34.880 --> 1:01:41.760 sin against nature and God? Might such a people see their history poorly told, if at all, and often 564 1:01:41.760 --> 1:01:47.040 only through the eyes of their cousins existing on their periphery, such as the Greeks or Romans or 565 1:01:47.040 --> 1:01:53.920 Byzantines? This seems to be the case for the Scythians, the Goths, and perhaps Freyan peoples, 566 1:01:53.920 --> 1:02:00.000 who collectively do seem to have been a seed population, whose relatives and expatriates 567 1:02:00.240 --> 1:02:03.120 appear to play key roles in nearly every pivotal event in history. 568 1:02:03.120 --> 1:02:10.080 And we've only just begun to scratch the surface here. In the next video, or perhaps two videos, 569 1:02:10.080 --> 1:02:15.360 we'll discuss the genetic picture and these seed people's strong connection to what academics have 570 1:02:15.360 --> 1:02:22.800 labeled the Yamnaya population group, the connection to Ulysses and the Odyssey, J.R.R. Tolkien's 571 1:02:22.800 --> 1:02:28.320 profound interest in the Phrygians and the related book he was working on, and the fact that he was 572 1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:34.880 a member of the Scythians, the mystery landmass that is now underwater, that is speculated to 573 1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:45.280 have once been the central hub of activity in Europe, and much more. Until then.
