Being a Slav: a blessing or a curse? [199]
Most theories support thesis of Slavic autohtonicity in Europe.
I agree. All those groups and tribes you mentioned are all autochthones in Europe.
Celts were Scythians/Sarmatians/Thracians (ie Slavs).From Serbians (Skordisci) on Balkan/Central Europe to the Picts (Scots) on British islands all were Celts and Sarmatians (ie Slavs)
No, you're confused. They are all Slaves in a sense that all those groups are autochthons in Europe that were mixed and consolidating due to unknown as yet influences and circumstances.
I'm only saying that a main decisive factor in those groups was formation of different culture groups that influenced other tribes with their religion, customs and also on a linguistic level.
Slaves culture have been least to spread in Europe on such a scale.(hence erroneous theories about Slaves migrating to Europe in 4-5th century AD). That is before Christianity.
Picks, Sarmatians and others that are different timetable and circumstances.
In the timetable that pertain to Slaves had seen a rise of the Celtic culture, German culture (genetically a biggest mix of all different tribes and people) and Slave culture in that chronical order.
Well it's certainly true that the Irish
An interesting input Atch and one that confirms all I have been saying and funnily enough all that Crow had been saying minus his Serb-centrism.
Theory of autochthonism as to European people have been given new life by the latest discoveries in the DNA department.
that the ancestry of many Europeans originates in the East
Hmm ...or could that that at somepeoint in history people were migrating freely between different even distant regions of Europe.
That idea that people were migrating only in the one directions is kind of west-centric and some in a way as eccentric as Crow's theories about the universe filled with Serbs.
