Academician Sedov on Aryans, Iranians and Slavs
I found an interesting article about Slavs by the most prominent Russian archaeologist. He talks about how Aryans came to Europe and how Slavs interbred with Iranian ethnic groups. He says that several years before Christ, one cannot yet speak of the national identity of Celts, Germans, Slavs – at that time they still had an Aryan identity (just as a side note, archaeological traces of Celts (Hallstatt culture) were found exclusively in the territory of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, which means that this ethnic group has little connection with English Celts – these are 2 ethnic groups). He also says that Slavs existed even before the 5th century under the name Veneti (this is not only the opinion of Russian archaeologists, Slavs-Veneti are also mentioned by the Czech associate professor of archaeology Zdenek Klanica in his book). If I remember correctly, he talks about Slavs as an ethnic group inhabiting forests, so they were not as technically advanced as Romans and Greeks (but they were spiritually advanced, living in harmony with nature). Sedov also talks about the great decline of the Roman Empire and all of Europe in the 4th century – he explains this by abnormal weather and flooding of agricultural areas. (It is only interesting that precisely in the 4th century, Christianity was introduced by force, under threat of death penalty, in the Roman Empire, so probably nature also began to rebel against the dark church religion. Church "Christianity" brought decline and curse to Europe also in the form of weather – at least that's my opinion). **** For those who don't know Russian, Google Translate will translate it relatively well for you.

History repeats itself, the threat of the extinction of civilization, Islam, nuclear war
By the way, I was just watching the series "Traces of the Distant Past" on YouTube (as well as other expert sites) and I'm full of emotions now. It's interesting how the cultures of our ancestors here in Central Europe started in caves, then became very advanced (complex bronze products, gold jewelry), but then some armed saboteurs and robbers came and destroyed the advanced culture, killed, and enslaved them. And they started again from caves. And it happened several times. History repeats itself, and even now we face the challenge of whether we will resist the destruction of European culture and whether we will not return to the decline of Islam 1500 years ago. Or our civilization will end due to a nuclear war that would also destroy the internet. ***** I also liked how the Slavs, even on the territory of Slovakia, armed themselves against the forced Christianization by the Hungarian King Saint Stephen. (Hungarians still consider him the most important foundation of their culture and history). The Slavs, of course, lost; King Stephen's troops massacred all "pagan" rebels. Even one Christian history teacher was very frustrated and outraged by how the church could declare the cruel butcher/executioner King Stephen I a saint, who had Slovakia baptized by force at the cost of genocide.
The Crusades of Religious Ideology and the Uprisings Against Them
The situation with Islam today is similar to what it was in the past with the forced Christianization by the Frankish armies. In the Russian Wikipedia, I found interesting articles about the forced Christianization of the Slavs. A Frankish crusader army of up to 200,000 men was sent against the Slavs, which was a huge number for that time (as the population of Europe could have been 100 times smaller than today). When the territory of today's Czech Republic and Poland was forcibly Christianized, or rather, when the Slavs recognized the essence of church religion, uprisings arose in which the Slavs demolished churches, church offices, and expelled the clergy. However, the uprisings were successfully suppressed after a certain period. According to Russian academics, the Vandals were a Slavic tribe. The Vandals were known for leveling churches to the ground in North Africa. Even then, the Vandals knew that nothing good could be expected from church religion, so they razed the black-magic emitters to the ground. This is also a challenge for us to be able to stand up against Islamism in a similar way to our ancestors against the violence of church ideology. ****** Crusades against the Slavs, Pagan uprisings in Poland, Pagan uprisings in the Czech Republic, Slavic uprising in 983. ***** You can enter these terms into Google: Крестовый поход против славян, Языческие восстания в Польше, Языческие восстания в Чехии, Славянское восстание 983 года
"Pagan" Slavs
Interesting excerpts from the Christian archaeologist Peter Ivanič from his professional publication on the Slavs "Western Slavs in the Early Middle Ages" *** The ("Pagan") priests in Arkona and Veletov (=Polabian Slavs) were elected by the assembly. (an interesting element of democracy). *** In the pagan era, this term probably referred to a person exercising both secular and cultic power, and a person dealing only with the spiritual realm was called a žrec. **** There are frequent mentions of human sacrifices – an example is the ritual execution of the Mecklenburg bishop John in 1066 in Veletian Retra, animal sacrifices are less clearly depicted. **** Poland: The process of Christianization was stopped for a time by a popular uprising that broke out after 1038, when Prince Casimir I was expelled and the magnates held power. During the uprising, priests were also killed and the archbishopric in Gniezno was destroyed. **** The Christian author tactfully avoided the topic of how the ruler Saint Stephen Christianized the Slavs *** (The book can also be downloaded)
Celts
Celts is a very popular word and has appeared a few times in these posts. Lately, I've been studying scientific research quite a bit. As for the Celts, genetic research has confirmed the assumptions of archaeologists that archaeological Celts have nothing to do with present-day Britons and Irish. Celts were dark-skinned people with black hair; similarly, their male genetic haplogroup G is most common in Arab countries, Turkey, Italy, and Greece. Celts did not fare very well in genetic research (on the other hand, it must be said that there are several types of archaeological Celtic ethnicities, as there are several types of Hallstatt culture). Slavs fared better. The male haplogroup R1a, which is typically Slavic, appeared in Bronze Age settlements as far as central Germany (exactly in the middle of Germany). The ancestors of the Slavs inhabited half of present-day Germany. The typical male haplogroup of Germans and Britons is R1b. Polabian Slavs (inhabiting about half of Germany) disappeared from Germany about 1000 years ago after the aggressive military conquest by the Franks (Germanic peoples), which was associated with the process of forced Christianization of the Slavs. You can find more information on this page, including the forum: http://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_R1a_Y-DNA.shtml
Archaeologists cannot explain the often very sudden demise of several advanced cultures and civilizations in Central Europe at that time.
(Slovakia and the Czech Republic, but also in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Austria) – and now I also remember how they could teleport away from the planet – as a certain respected shamanic scholar said. The sudden disappearance of several advanced cultures is a topic that contemporary archaeologists are struggling with. Archaeologists, whether in Russia or Europe, complain that they cannot see any continuity between older and younger archaeological material cultures. A culture existed for certain years and then suddenly disappeared, no one knows how or why. The motivation for teleportation could also have been that they felt threatened by violent tribes.
The arrogance of the church
When the arrogance of the church knows no bounds: I happened to find an interesting archaeological research of the church of St. George. Traces of settlement from the Stone Age (= Eneolithic) were found at that place. It seems that the church abused the power of this magical place to expand and strengthen its influence. Of course, there are a large number of similar spiritual places in Slovakia that the church has desecrated in this way. It is interesting that the Old Slavs also knew and knew where interesting spiritual places from the Stone Age were located, even though the place was not permanently inhabited http://www.heritage-route.eu/sk/kostolany-pod-tribecom
