  • Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans: Yamnaya/Sredny Stog

    26 APR 2024 · A new paper called The Genetic Origin of the Indo-Europeans (2024) reveals that the Proto-Indo-European languages originated in the Yamnaya and Sredny Stog cultures of Ukraine and South Russia. The split of PIE languages from Anatolian languages is revealed to have taken place on the steppe. Sredny Stog DNA is found in Hittite samples proving the real IE people were Steppe herders from Eastern Europe and not an unknown Armenian population as previously claimed. I discuss the findings in this stream Condense lengthy texts into 25 min summaries with Liegent https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1BGLTR2RzNzNWdxOXducl8zb2s2NnNSNXZPQXxBQ3Jtc0tuQTNlYnM2UmRUdm1TamZqbFppdkZXS2JlbF95NEMzeHJ1UVRFVTNnN3Q2TC1PUWhqRGhOb3FTVXBydUdqamJuRzR0QXk2elprRFluSUhYWkJYcTdRdlJtb1BLVmJmOHp3Qy10SjJvT1AxLXF3bF9Dcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fliegent.com%2F&v=uzmwCZlobio Please support this podcast: https://linktr.ee/SurvivetheJive

  • Why is Odin the god of magic and runes?

    28 FEB 2024 · 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. Please support this podcast if you want it to continue: https://survivethejive.blogspot.com/p/donate.html
