NEW EPISODE — Radio North Sea International — How Roman were the Germans?

https://hearthfireradio.com/watch?v=bFMQFurY

German and by extension Germanic identity is sometimes constructed, with figures such as Arminius, in opposition to the Romans. Today, Tom explores the ways in which Roman culture influenced the Germanic peoples, and how men as far North as Norway served as auxilia in the Roman military.

NEW FIND: Anglo-Saxon coin with a "Valknut", dated to the 7th century, pre-dating the Viking era and therefore disproving the claim that the pagan symbol was unknown in Britain prior to the Vikings.

It could be the oldest Anglo-Saxon coin ever found. Some are saying the figure wields a Christian cross over the Valknut, a pagan symbol, and that would seem to indicate a representation of Christian faith beating Paganism.

Alternatively, it is an expression of the religious pluralism of a transitionary dual faith period when both religions were practised by the English. The Valknut does seem much more prominent than the cross on that side, and the other side has a Christian cross which is sort of arranged in the shape of a Swastika, which was a symbol of the god Woden.

We know from Bede that a king who lived in East Anglia, where this coin was found, around the same time it was made, practised dual faith, keeping an idol of Jesus next to those of the English gods. So this seems plausible...

How beautiful they are, the lordly ones
who dwell in the hills, in the hollow hills.
They have faces like flowers
and their breath is a wind
that blows over summer meadows filled with dewy clover.
Their limbs are more white than shafts of moonshine,
They are more fleet than the March wind,
They laugh and are glad and are terrible
When their lances shake and glitter
Ev’ry green reed quivers.
How beautiful they are,
How beautiful,
The lordly ones in the hollow hills.

Written by by William Sharp (1855 - 1905), as Fiona Macleod.

This is what late Roman soldiers in Britain looked like - trousers and tunics from barbarian influence on the late Romans. The crested helmet famous for Vendel era Swedish and early Anglo-Saxon examples is based on Late Roman ridge helmets - the only real difference being that the Germanic people added their zoomorphic knotwork designs to the mix. What is surprising is how similar this soldier looks to the Anglo-Saxon invaders who were yet to arrive. Their arrival was perhaps not as much of a culture shock as people sometimes make out...

Barrows weren't always simple mounds of earth. Various cultures, including Scythians and Bronze Age Britons, covered the mounds with a layer of clay, which in some cases could have been shining white.

One can then imagine the monuments were far more impressive and conspicuous than they now appear.

A European origin for the PIE language was first suggested by Heinrich Schulz in 1826. Most people still thought it was in Asia because Sanskrit is so archaic. In 1851 Robert Gordon Latham, in a prologue for Germania by Tacitus, argues again for a European urheimat on the basis that most linguistic diversity of IE languages is inside Europe.

Latham suggested Lithuania as a possible origin, but significantly, he also identified the Pontic-Caspian steppe as of likely significance to the PIE speakers, mentioning the Volga and the Dnieper.

The South-Russian/Ukrainian homeland was properly considered by Otto Schrader in 1890, who cites a paper from 1875 by Theodor Benfey. It is to these men that a great deal of credit is therefore due. However Latham did some of the groundwork

90% of WHG individuals carried the number 1 DNA marker associated with sunburns, the inability to tan, and skin caner.

It is....

Chr: 6
Gene: IFR4
SNP: rs12203592
Position: 396321

This DNA marker has been mentioned in many studies.

Here is one example.
Viconti 2018
Genome-wide association study in 176,678 Europeans reveals genetic loci for tanning response to sun exposure.
https://europepmc.org/article/MED/29739929#id782720

In this study rs12203592>T was more associated with skin caner
and inability more than anyother DNA marker.

It had a P-value of
1.91x10-567 for inability to tan

P-Value are used in DNA studies to measure
the association between a DNA marker and
a phenotype.

The lower the number more associated it is with a trait.

I have read many studies and I can tell you that
you will almost never see a DNA marker
with as low of a P-value
as rs12203592>T does with the inability tan

rs12203592>T is mainly studies on studies on skin cancer
which are studies few people read.

That is why this DNA markers massive impact on the inability to tan
has gones unnoticed.

More often than not modern individuals with rs12203592>T have struggle
tanning in the sun and they often have skin cancer.

It seems this proves WHg was adapted to low sunlight
northern latitudes.

I am working on a short video about rs12203592>T in WHG.
