Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]
Most genetic foundings, linguistic, cultural evidences recorded throughout history, archeology, suggest one conclusion. Bulk of European population was consolidated along the Danubian line, from Balkan to Baltic, after last Ice Age. So, from the traditional Slavic (ie Sarmatian) lands. And what is the most numerable European ethos and most spread culture? Slavs (ie Sarmatians, ie Thracians, ie Celts), of course. They are still alive, no matter ethnocide, genocide and bestial cultural violence committed on them.
And learn this. All, I mean all sources available, no matter even their political background agree in this thing (go google for yourself), when we speak of Europe:
1 - bulk of Sarmatian population was on western Balkans, within traditionally 100% Slavic and Serbian lands
2 - bulk of Thracian population was on western Balkans, within traditionally 100% Slavic and Serbian lands
3 - bulk of Celtic population was on western Balkans, within traditionally 100% Slavic and Serbian lands
And guess what, exactly there, in epicenter, Sarmatian name survived in its local form (Serbian name). Exactly there, Thracian name survived parallel with Sarmatian name (Serbians are known as Srbi and Ras(h)ani > Raci >> Thracian is foreign pronounceable form > T-raci; also S-a-r-mati to soften local native form Srb). Exactly there on Avala mountain Celtic Skordisci founded Serbian Capital Belgrade, were able to give last stand to Romans and to initiate formation of alliance with Czech Boii (one of oldest known inter-Slavic treaties about mutual protection).
