Scythian Irish music with Ukrainian flavor

[lurxtlifeson]

there's no audio. you can see all the comments on your video, EVERYONE is saying there's no audio. it's not ALL of our speakers... it's the video. you should try uploading again because it's a shame there's no audio. I'd like to watch it... don't blame people because the video's messed up...

[sokil09]

yes, something went wrong with the audio. :(

[Shannon0310]

@sokil09 ~ That's a bummer. This is one of my favs. I wonder what happened to it?

[shizelpops]

okay why the hell can't I hear anything?

[everyloss]

@shizelpops It's your speakers, not the video.

[shizelpops]

@everyloss my speakers work fine though :\

[everyloss]

@shizelpops That stinks! good video xD

[StephenWebb1980]

Ive seen these guys at the sunflower festival in maryland [when joey got married], the spring fling at the PA Renaisance fair, at the trock in Philly, and at the celtic festival in valley forge baby! - They ARE GREAT, and it never gets old. They do good folk from all around the world. I highly recommend!

[J921762]

I've seen these guys in the Dublin Irish Fest in Ohio in 2007. These guys are awesome! They really go all out to make their fans and audience very happy. Would love to see them perform again.

[kargwain187]

Im from Ireland and I think you were fantastic .... and as far as im concerned you can call yourselves whatever you want cos thats up to you .... ... again you were fantastic

[ukrainianmusicvideo]

I'm of Irish & Ukrainian decent, speak Ukrainian, am a musician & teach history in Ukr Community Youth Assoc. We know Scythia covered Iran & most of Ukraine. Proff.J. Diamond states the people of what is now Ukraine tamed the horse & spoke a "proto Indo european language" forming the basis of many European languages. Byzantine chroniclers state Huns were not Scythians. Prof Shilov links proto Ukrainians with Iran-Sumer (Scythia). Incidentally Crimea is a.k.a. Cimmeria (branch of Scyths).

[TheRealLP]

LOVE these guys!! Just got home from Grandfather Mountain, and met the guys while I was there... amazing! Such energy and GREAT crowd pleasers! Loved every minute of it!

[GREENappleTEAyay]

[everyloss]

[mrdck761]

[everyloss]

I meant real ages. but I already know now :D hahaa

[phriendlyphool]

why don't we all stop fighting and just enjoy some great music

[kilmjaa]

Celt is not realy a true term for any group of people is was a name inveted by the Vicorian English and used as generic term to decribe the whole collection of western eurpean peoples before romanisation and like may Victorian terms it is grossly inaccurate

[Cathain78]

Celt stems from Keltoi which is the name the Greeks gave to the tribes to their North-West who spoke a common language (what is now called the Celtic branch of the IE languages).

It's true the Celts didn't call themselves "Celts" but it is an ancient name for those peoples.

[boundleadtheblind]

???Scythian Irish music with Ukrainian flavor???

this title makes no sense. since when are the celts scythians? STUPIDITY!!!!

[yashil17]

dude the white race derived from the Saka (Iranian for Scythian) Ariyan tribe, and the Sarmatian, who was a part of the Saka.

it was during the Stone Age when they invaded England (wasn't called that) i'm not sure when the celts were invaded, but they are, because if they weren't then they will look dark, Semetic.

[boundleadtheblind]

thats a fantastical theory but the "rough" datings for the migrations of the indo european peoples would have us believe otherwise. let alone archaeological evidence. sorry.

[yashil17]

sorry to reply so late, but anyways, that's not a theory, it's a fact that Irish people and all of Europe are white because of the Saka Scythians.

i'm sorry, but i don't understand by what you mean when you say rough dating of migration by the indo-europeans (Ariyans) would have us believe otherwise.

[boundleadtheblind]

(continuation)

if this was the case. why dont the various tribes maintain similar artwork, religion, culture.scythian relics arent found in western europe. also why wouldnt we hear of ancient cavalries (non-chariot) in europe. why would these tribes supposedly to come from scythians give up their horses (saddles and all) and horseback archery?

[boundleadtheblind]

also sorry for my late responses.

i agree with the sarmatians were a scythian people. but the "white" race did not come from them. the celts invaded briton around 500bc. hallstatt the center of the celtic culture was at its peak 1200bc-600bc they migrated west. western europeans for the most part are celtic r1b haplogroup eastern europeans are majority r1a - aryan. scythians migrated towards europe from the east around 800bc.

[yashil17]

sorry the "white" race did not come from them, my appologize, since the Ariyans/Iranic people were the first.

the Saka however was the first Ariyan tribe, formed after the last ice age (12,000 yrs ago) and they settled every land on earth, including Briton, the Sarmatians however succeded them.

the Saka went everywhere, even Japan forming the Jomon people!

[Vkodesh1]

England was called Angle land for the angles that resided there. it was modernized into England due to language Ebonics - or so it seems. It was priorly referred to as Brittania during the Roman Occupation.

[yashil17]

yes it sounds like Ariyan land or Land of Ariyans, which is the definition of the Name and word Iran

[sokil09]

Before calling people stupid, watch the story so you don't sound stupid.

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

The Khazars were Scythians:

watch?v=2r9A0PGNJ2A

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

And yes, the Khazars were "Hono Bulgarians".

[kekvirag11]

Hebrew, heber, habar, AVAR!!!!!! They are not Skytians!!! We are the Skytians...we HUN Magyars, Hun Russians!!!!

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

Thus, for the first time, it was documented that the "KHAZARS" were the same "AGATZIRS", the same ancient Scythian, or Kelto-Scythian tribe "AGA-TIRZ", or as they called themselves in Herodotus time, "KOZARS".

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

(Therefore, all this about the Khazars being Turkic, or Turkic-Caucasian (!) tribe was pure nonsense. The very term "Turkic-Aryan" is impossible and is in itself a transcendent folly. The Khazars, or KOZARs, or KOZAKS (COSSACKS) as they called themselves in more recent times, were one of the most ancient European peoples, the remnants of which, after Stalin's very successful attempt at their extermination, still inhabit today's Ukraina and Russia.)

[yashil17]

bro, i read that same article right now, and it was brilliant, especially at the begining were it states that the Irish came from the Saka Scythians.

but the only thing i didn't understand, was that why didn't the author state that the Turks are Ariyans?

in the begining paragraphs about Herodotus's statments it stated that the Khazars aren't Turk,

but the later the author(i think it was the author) stated that,

continued....

[yashil17]

continuation:

the Khazars and Huns were related or the same, so if that's true then the Turks must be Ariyan, for the Huns relate to the Mongols, and the Mongols and Turks are in the same language, of Asiatic, making them related, so thus: Ariyans = Khazars = Huns = Mongols = Turks,

Ariyan = Turk

[szabirmagdanu]

Dera yashil17! The total misunderstanding is based on the unproved hypothesis, that Scythians were Aryans. No! There are no linguistic facts for it.

[szabirmagdanu]

Kedves kékvirág11! Ezt az avar-héber dolgot hol olvastad?

My opinion is, that just the name of heber, habar, habiru etc. is derived from avar, apar(n) (or szabir, subar) etc., but the people are not. Lots of names of nations are supposed to be derived from avars, like "Iberian" (and Hibernia) too! And "avar" is one name for the Magyars (Hungarians). Hungarians supposed to be the real Scythians one hand. Scythians are not Aryans! There are no facts abour it!

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

In the 6th century AD, the Anonymous Chronograph of Ravenna, in its brief description of the KHAZARS, as one of the major peoples inhabiting Skitia (Scythia), specifies that, in the ancient times, they were called "akatzirs":

[uptheirons82582]

Just saw them saturday in DC, these guys tore it up

[ZombieZubabaka]

hehe sweet; I am half Irish and half ukranian :)

[fyodor7680]

"iTWI08", "in fact no europeans were descended from sycthians let alone western europeans"

wrong, us Slavs are partial descendants

[TWI08]

sycthian language has relations to languages of ethnic Afghans and Ossetians who are also related to ethnic Afghans. do you irish have rleations to ethnic Afghans? no you don't so how can you claim to have descended from their ancestors fools?

[kekvirag11]

The languages are changing but the DNA NEVER!!!!

[TWI08]

irish people are not descended from scythians, just another case of stupid colorless europeans stealing the heritage of others as in the case of aryans

in fact no europeans were descended from sycthians let alone western europeans

[kekvirag11]

The real descended from scythians are the HUNS from Hungary!!!!! They are still speak the oroginal scytian language!!!

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

The real desended from the Scythians are the Khazar. What do you think "Ashkenazi" means? Ashkuzu, Ashguzu, and all of the Scythians names. It's even in history books!

[kekvirag11]

Sorry xXxXTigerManXxXx ...but the skytians are not AVARS!!! The avars are the modern jewish people!

[xXxXTigerManXxXx]

The origin of the Khazars, was NOT Turkic. A lot of researchers, agree that the Khazar descendent from the Scythians. How the Scythians called? they called "Ashguzu". The Assyrians called them "Ashkuzu", and the Jews, called them "Ashkenazi". The other Jews, called to the place, where the Khazars were, in the name "Ashkenaz". A lot of years after that, the Khazar Jews thought "Ashkenaz" means "German", which is not true.

[yashil17]

the Scythians called themselves "Saka" pronounced "Sa-ga"

it's original Iranian, no arabic,

and the Saka spoke Indo-Iranian, so it would most likely be something around that.

[szabirmagdanu]

Dear yashil17! I don't know any facts that proves the Sakas/Scythians would have speak Indo-* lang!

In the origin the Saka/Scytha tribes are Magyar (Szabir/Subar) related, like the Sumerians, Subars, Hurris, Med/Mada(r), Avars (Apar, Parthians etc.), Huns, Avarhuns (Hyrkania/Várkony), Sar-mada-s.

Far language descendents are the Turks and Mongols, the Celts (and also the Finno-Ugric people). All languages are agglutinating. The Hungarian has the most "nostratic" rootwords.

[yashil17]

@szabirmagdanu @szabirmagdanu

Brodja,

read this article written by Dr. Oric Basirov: the origins of pre-imprial Iranian peoples

[szabirmagdanu]

(continued) D. yashil17! The Persians also has this ancient non-IE roots, but the language changed during the centuries ("perzs-" means nearly "fire" in Hungarian lang.!).

I beleive, that there were no common IE language. The connections exists because of the old Magyar-like (agglutinating) languages of the ancient east and the west.

The key between nations and cultures is the Magyar (Hungarian) language and it's ancient history in the beginning of the civilisation in Europe and Asia!

[yashil17]

@szabirmagdanu

@szabirmagdanu

Brodja, there actually is evidence that they spoke an Ariyan language:

1. I know by fact that Magyar, Median, Parthian, Celts, and even Hunnic are all of the Ariyan language. I have evidence from a Hungarian Doctor/Historian (don't remeber name) and many other sources that state that the Scythians spoke an Ariyan language - specifically N. Iranian (Gilaki, Mazandarani, etc.)

[szabirmagdanu]

As I read about it, Avars ar not Jews! Its new for me! Where did you read it?

Everybody knows: Avars were hungarian (magyar) related people!

Just the name "avar" has connections with habar, heber etc.

[yashil17]

@szabirmagdanu

About the Scots being Scythian, i'm not so sure about that, i read another article that was very very brilliant for me, and it had stated that the Scottish were Egyptian!!!

stated that one queen of Egypt named Scota and her people apperantly migrated there (don't remember time period) and created the Scotish people. There are things that make Scotts different from the Irish and other Germanic nations, excluding England (because it was invaded by scotts)

[OSSETIANgorgoch]

OSSETIANS are SCYTHIAN too... FREE OSSETIA!!!

[asethapart]

I played on the same stage and kit as this guy once, lol :D

[fyodor7680]

hate to burst your bubble but while at one point irish claimed to be of scythian descent it in fact isn't true, the only caucasians with scythian DNA are Slavic peoples, the highest rates are found in Ukrainians at about 40% of the pop

[zoryaodin]

Would like to know what sources you have for this information..I'd like to read it.......So are we Ukrainians part of the Lost Tribes of Israel..lol..as some Jews assert the Scythians where??

[szabirmagdanu]

Its true, but the DNA is not so important - the culture, mitology, the spiritual legacy are more important if we talk about identity of nations.

Celtic nations have/had strong Scythian identity (see "Declaraton of Arboath" at the Scots). The name of the Scots is the variant of the name of the Scythians!

So this music band is true if they show it.

[yashil17]

@szabirmagdanu

another essay/article i read about Ireland/Erin being related to Iran was stating that the Scythian migration to W. Europe was the link.

another thing, if the Scythians were of non-Ariyan stock, then why would they speak N.Iranian?

[szabirmagdanu]

Dear fyodor7680. Its true, lot of slavic nations has scythian DNA. But the Scythian culture was not slavic. It is Hungarian (magyar) related. Hungarians has strong DNA relations to slavic people (see Semino research!), mostly with Ukrainian people - but the language (you know) is not related!

[kranshteun]

Hands down! There is a new study that came out not so long ago. Celts came from what is now Ukraine. Scythians are one of the tribes that stayed. Scythian culture is almost identical to that of Celtic. But so much time has passed since then that now Irish and people of Ukraine and Russia are different nations. This facts are now accepted as true bu the Scientists. The book is Called "Celts"

Regards!

[yashil17]

@szabirmagdanu

@szabirmagdanu

Brodja,

even if the Scythians were Magyar, they still would be Ariyan thus Iranian, for Hungary is Ariyan.

its in there in the name - Hun-g-Aria.

Also, there are many portraits of Scythians with blond hair, white skin.

plus, there is an essay i read about King Arthur of England being originally of Scythic stock.

[sal7va7dor]

@yashil17

1st Hungarians are of the Hun tribe and even their language is Altaic.

2nd It wasn't King Arthur who was of the Aryans, it was Lancelot who was fully an Aryan from the Sarmation Iranian tribe which was conquered by the Romans.

3rd Scythians were the Iranic tribe who lived north of the Caspian Sea, who later conquered most of the eastern Europe and Northern India. Today they are the white Russians, Ukrainians,Polish,eastern europe, and the Aryans of central Asia and Northern India.

[elnaz666]

@sal7va7dor

1. Hungarians being Ariyan - yes they are mainly Ariyan but partly Altaic/Turkic, why? the name Hun-Aria, and the Hungarians and Iranians call them Magyars Magy-yar(bothe terms are of Ariyan lineage)

excluding that, the Hunnic/Turkic/Mongol side is also related to the Ariyans for the original Turkic culture and race is mixed of Ariyans through many things extremely language.

2. i don't know much about King Arthur himself ... continued

[elnaz666]

@sal7va7dor

2. but the name Arthur is of Ariyan stock, why? well if u seperated or analyze it, u would see the parts - "Ar" and "Ur" both in the Ariyan language refering the "Ariyan" by the meaning of nobleness or purity which in general refer to the race. King Arthur during the time was in England which i do know as a fact is mainly Ariyan.

2. Sarmatians themselves were a branch of Scythians (Saga) who brached off and spread to parts of Europe and Asia. cont..

[elnaz666]

@sal7va7dor

2. The Scythians before the Sarmats, had been pused by the English West to the great land in which was later known as Eirean/Ireland, i used this which was an essay done by a athour, in my essay for my history class i could give u the link to see it with more discription.

3. Saga conquered not only Asia and Russia, but also in W. Europe as i stated before, they had also brached off into many groups including Sarmats, Ossets, Cimmereans, and other

[Sashka78]
