THIS Thursday: I shall discuss the findings of the breakthrough paper on IE origins "The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans" (2024), and also a little about the other paper "A genomic history of the North Pontic Region from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age" on JIVE TALK.

David Reich walks back the PIE from South-of-the-Caucasus stuff he pushed in 2022, now working with David Anthony and nearly 300 new samples to arrive at a very different conclusion.

There IS steppe ancestry in Anatolia and this is how Indo-European languages got there. They are claiming a Caucasian migration route, but I think Balkans is more plausible.

They say PIE came from no further south than the North Caucasus, but likely further north on the steppe itself! Of course I support the steppe itself.

This is a game changer and puts the discourse back on the right track.

Here is a brief write up on one of the main claims from the new paper about Germanic language and genetics. I shall also do a JIVE TALK live stream on Monday afternoon where i go over some of the other findings.

If you have any questions you can post them here. 

Returning to the topic of the highest god, Odin. First I address why the Romans weren't entirely wrong when they compared him to Mercury/Hermes. Then I present my theory about how Odin learned the nine sacred songs called Galdra and why this is related to his role as the god of the runes. The dankest god, Odin, and esoteric theories go together like runes and galdra. I look at the origins of runes themselves and the usage of runes in conjunction with galdra and thus seek to solve the mystery of the runes and the god who first learned them on the world tree.

Hello dear Patrons! I am very sorry I haven't produced a new video for three weeks since the black history Jive Talk. I have been very busy building the online course in Heathenry. The script is nearly finished so I can begin filming and compiling the lessons and putting together the website. Patrons will receive discounted access depending on their tier.

Besides that I have the footage ready for two videos to come: one on Iron Age Celtic hill forts and one on Roman ruins in Istanbul. Expect them this year. I shall also do a video where I meditate on the nature of Odin, like the one I made in 2017, as I have much to say on the matter that others are not saying.  This one will be ready first as it is easy to make. 

I am eternally grateful for your continued support and your patience as I am working very hard to try and get content out. 

Why do some people have blue eyes? What is the evolutionary advantage of having blue eyes? Where did blue eyes evolve? Blue eyes have piqued curiosity for centuries, standing out as a mesmerising and rare trait among humans. Discover the underlying science behind blue eyes as we explore various theories and genetic factors that contribute to their existence. They were mainly associated with Mesolithic Western Hunter Gatherers like Cheddar man but the origin and story of this phenotype is complicated. A new study from Liverpool may have the answer as to what benefit this trait has - better ability to see in low light.
