Learnings from Cyrillic Alphabet and DNA Analysis

Etruscans origins & Slavs

Learning from Cyrillic Alphabet & DNA Analysis, #education #consciousness

by Nataša Pantović

History is a fascinating subject. Researching or even more so! We read amazing accounts about ancient traditions such as Platonism, Orphism, Orthodox Christianity, and in China Taoism, and neo-Confucianism.

The insights from these traditions intersect with recent findings in metaphysics or biology. What brings the two into resonance is their mutual commitment to speak of the matter as alive. The four elements expressed through trinity that are defined by entangled triangle of relationships reflected in our language development.

Another visit to Serbia, this summer, and I was back researching the same scientific question, same puzzle that has certainly no answers yet it is an interesting exploration. 

Were Slavs in Balkan as early as 431 BC?

Etruscan history 

The Etruscans occupied the region to the north of Rome, The Romans were their conquerors. 

The Greek historian Herodotus tells us that the Etruscans came from Lydia. Sure enough historians argue who are the Lydians. Herodotus tells us of their ships and multitude, claiming that the half of the population left under the leadership of Tyrrhenus. Another Greek historian, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in his Early History of Rome also claims that the Etruscan were the aboriginal inhabitants of their area. Slavs?

The Peloponnesian War, or Second Peloponnesian War to distinguish it from an earlier conflict, was fought in ancient Greece between 431 and 404 BC, between Sparta and Athens, each with its own coalition. ... Athens, in the first months of 416 BC, decided to send an army to Thrace at ... Thucydides, V, 11-14.

700 BC-500 BC there was an expansion of Greek culture on the Italian Peninsula, the islands of Corsica and Sicily and the south France. By 400 BC the Etruscans were defeated by the Romans. The Romans adopted the Etruscan alphabet which the Etruscans had adopted from the Cyprus Minoans, or Vinča’s Danube culture. They all had been influenced by the alphabet of the Phoenicians, crossing to Europe via Malta?

Etruscan history

 

The cultural mix of Etruscans is predominantly Mediterranean as the genetic mix is predominantly aboriginal to Balkan. The conquest of Rome or Athene by the Romans was typical of what occurred throughout history. What probably occurred in Tuscany was that the invaders brought a culture, the language, the customs. The aboriginal people may have been Slavs, the people of the Villanovan Culture.

The origin of the Bulgarian state, for example, is from the conquest of a Slavic people by the Bulgar Turks. The language of the Bulgarians is the Slavic language of the conquered people and the only residue of the conquerors in Bulgaria is the name of the country. 90% nowadays are Slavs.

The literature on the question of Etruscan origins divides into

1. Northern Origins

2. Oriental (Near-eastern) Origins

The aboriginal peoples of North Italy could have been Slavs. The Adriatic Sea, the sea to the east of Italy, bordering Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro, all Slavic states, was named after the Etruscan port of Adria. The funerary practices of the people of North Italy has the parallel to the Vinča Culture. The Etruscans cremated their dead, a practice also known in the Danube Culture, no grave yards have been found near the settlements for thousands of years.

This very vibrant culture hosted different nationalities. In the Etruscan ruins there are objects from Greece, North Africa, and southern France. The Etruscan traders brought those craft objects to Etruria. The major exports of Etruria was copper and iron from the local mines, the same found with their Northern neighbours.

Etruscan and Linguistic Research

The question became more intriguing when, in the nineteenth century, it was discovered that most of the languages of Europe belonged to one big language family called Indo-European but Etruscan was not one of them. Is this rightly so?

The linguist claim that Etruscan was not a member of the Indo-European language family was challenged by some Slavic archelogy and linguistic researchers. These Balkan Slavs, find the inspiring relationship between words, just introducing the now, in scientific circles, lost Š, Đ, Č, Ć, Ž, DŽ.

A book that I have recently explored was The development of Etruscans Language from Svetislav Bilbija, his self-created dictionary of words with the alternative history of Slavs, claiming that Etruscans and Slavs were of the same ethnicity, 1984 New York print. He calls them “Rašani“.

Etruscans left 13,000 inscriptions during 700 BC to 50 AC. The Etruscans are believed to have spoken the same language as Tyrsenian family groups as Raetic and Lemnian.

The History of Slavs

Were Slavs in Balkan as early as 431 BC? 

Slavic Tribes  700 AC Europe Map

The genetic origins of Etruscans are mixed between aboriginal people of the region (Slavs?) and people from Europe predominantly Spain. The aboriginal population may have settled in Balkan millennia prior to the invasion.

Slavic Genetic Origin

The History of Slavs Inferred from Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequences by Marta Mielnik-Sikorska, Patrycja Daca,Boris Malyarchuk, Miroslava Derenko, Katarzyna Skonieczna, Maria Perkova, Tadeusz Dobosz, Tomasz Grzybowski. Published: January 14, 2013.The study was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Bydgoszcz.

“Thus, the data from complete mitochondrial genomes collected so far seems to indicate that the ancestors of Slavs were autochthonous peoples of Central and Eastern Europe rather than early medieval invaders emerging in restricted areas of the Prut and Dniestr basin and expanding suddenly due to migration, as suggested by some archaeologists.”

 “Taken together, the time of origin and territorial range of mitochondrial subhaplogroups H5a2, H5e1a, H5u1, U4a2, U5a2a and U5a2b1 observed in central and eastern European populations indicate that some of the maternal ancestors of today's Slavs (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Ukrainians and Russians) inhabited areas of Central and Eastern Europe much earlier than it was estimated on the basis of archaeological and historical data. Indeed, we show here the existence of genetic continuity of several maternal lineages in Central Europe from the times of Bronze and Iron Ages.”

 “The complete genome data on several mitochondrial subhaplogroups of probable Central European origin presented in this and previous studies are in a perfect agreement with the recent findings of physical anthropology, suggesting continuity of human settlement in central Europe between the Roman period and the early Middle Ages as well as with earlier anthropological data pointing to the central Europe as the “homeland” of Slavs.”

“Detailed analysis of complete mtDNAs allowed us to identify a number of lineages that seem specific for Central and Eastern Europe. Some of them could possibly be traced back to at least ∼ 4 thousand years ago, which indicates that some of the ancestors of today's Slavs (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Ukrainians and Russians) inhabited areas of Central and Eastern Europe much earlier than it was estimated on the basis of archaeological and historical data.”

Following the language similarities, Slavic peoples are divided into West Slavic (Czechs, Poles and Slovaks), East Slavic (Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians), and South Slavic (Bulgarians, ex-Yugoslav countries including Slovenians, Croats, Bosniaks, Macedonians, Montenegrins, and Serbs).

In Europe, Haplogroup R1a is found at highest frequency in Poland (over 60% of the population), in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia (40-50%), the Republic of Macedonia (35%), and the Czech Republic (32%).

The spread is believed to be related to the mass migrations following the Last Glacial Maximum when the Balkans served as a refuge. Germany has an R1a Y-DNA frequency of just 8%. This clear boundary between the Germanic / Slavic led researchers to take R1a as a valid identifier of the Slav peoples.

In Britain, the distribution of R1a corresponds closely to the Viking period. Vikings are parentally related to “Lech” where the concentration of R1a is highest in Europe. Interestingly, Sweden and Norway have higher than expected frequencies of R1a (~ 20%).

West Slavic I1 Y-DNA

The Haplogroup I (M170 Y-DNA) is the only DNA associated with Lechs, who are the West Slavs and is found at over 20% in all Slavic countries except Russia (6%), Germany has 8%. It exists natively only in Europe and is associated with ancient "barbarians".

Slavicization

The Haplogroup I/ M170 (Y-DNA) is found mostly in the Balkans: in Serbia, Croatia & Bosnia at 40-50%. Some Adriatic islands show even 80%. In such high levels it occurs only in Sardinia and Scandinavia. It is also found in the western Caucasus (30-60%), and northern Iran and Kurdistan (30-40%).

Polish archaeologists point to “Pomeranian culture” as the culturally distinctive appearance of Slavs in Europe. This is a form of culture with Viking influences and is Slavic.

Lechia is an ancient name of Poland. The Lendians (Lędzianie) or The name "Lędzianie" (*lęd-jan-inъ) – le-đa-nje

Lendians are often considered to be a tribe that the Ruthenian chronicles referred to as Liakhy (Лѧховѣ). The Hypatian Codex however states the following:

Словѣне же ѡви пришєдшє и сѣдоша на Вислѣ и прозвашасѧ Лѧховѣ а ѿ тѣхъ Лѧховъ прозвашасѧ Полѧне Лѧховѣ друзии Лютицѣ инии Мазовшане а нии Поморѧне

Which translates as: "The Slavs who came and settled along Wisla and were called Liakhove from whom descended Lechitic Polans, Lutici, Masovians, and Pomeranians."

After the Polish Piast dynasty united many West Slavic tribes, the ethnonym Liakhy was used to refer to all those tribes and subsequently to the newly established Polish people. It was mainly an exonym — rarely used by Poles themselves in historic times, with the exception of the Lachy Sadeckie — though one of the Old Czech Chronicles states that a legendary person named Lech was the founder of Poland (see Lech, Čech, and Rus).

Tribal areas

Constantine VII reports that in the year 944 Lendians were alias to the Kievan Rus' to take part in the naval expeditions against Byzantium.

 “Molecular dating implies formation of H5 approximately 11.5–16 thousand years ago (kya) in the areas of southern Europe. Within ancient haplogroup H6, dated at around 15–28 thousand years ago, there is a subhaplogroup H6c, which probably survived the last glaciation in Europe and has undergone expansion only 3–4 thousand years ago, together with the ancestors of some European groups, including the Slavs, because H6c has been detected in Czechs, Poles and Slovaks.”

Author: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, printed by Oxford Clarendon Press in 1894

“The aim of conscious mind is to make its appearance identical with its essence, to raise its self-certainty to truth.” Hegel
