One of the theories that I found fascinating was that the Proto-Indo-European homeland was in the north. What I remember of the linguistic evidence is that the terms for various fauna and flora native to the Boreal region of Europe (e.g. beaver, amber) are derived from the same root in all Indo-European languages.

    Yep that's it. It's short.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Not to change the topic but the OP video does a shout out to the new Netflix series "Barbarians."

    I started watching but the dialog is all in Latin and Germanic but the following review of it has me interested again:

    Looking forward to "were the Romans evil".

    So I watched Netflix "Barbarians." It was decent. And then watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=logbxY7_FCw which begins with some scenes from Netflix but tells a slightly different, less dramatic story, admitting the facts aren't well-known but suspecting Arminius had long planned his betrayal and rebellion.

    And then I came across on Amazon Prime's "Storm Over Europe - The Wandering Tribes" blurbed as "This documentary deals with the mass migration of Germanic tribes at the very beginning of European history, while Ancient Rome raced towards inevitable collapse and a new political centre developed in...." It has the Germans coming out of Jutland descending into and wandering around Europe fighting the Romans. Interesting in that it gets into the culture, dress, food, religion, etc of these tribes. It also makes a big point of the tribes robbing and plundering everything in their path but also incorporating anyone that wanted to join in with them so the tribes grew as they wandered.
