 all right guys welcome back to the channel if you're new my name is Bobby guys today's video starts with representing all of our Christian orthodox brothers and sisters with this t-shirt bravo Slavia Eli smirt guys on that note I want to thank all of our Balkan brothers and sisters from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for all the positive feedback all the nice comments all the people that tried to reach out and connected with me through Instagram Facebook so on and so forth thank you so much all right let's get to it today's topic is my DNA test short background story both of my parents come from the country that is now known as North Macedonia I already did one DNA test at my heritage.com and to cut it short it was pretty disappointing it simply told me that I'm 100% European wow thank you my heritage great service but at least it went a little bit into depth and proceeded to tell me that I'm 68% East European aka from the Balkan and 32% South European which translated into Greek and South Italian of course this wasn't satisfactory for me so I proceeded to download the raw data and forwarded to jetmatch.com so guys before I tell you my results we all know the DNA tests are flawed I'm not taking this as the holy gospel I'm not saying this is 100% proof however it is an interesting indicator so as you can see first the ancient populations got calculated on number one I'm round about 22% Baltic followed by East Mediterranean which is almost 22% on number three we have North Atlantic then West Mediterranean even West Asian which was quite the surprise to me followed by the Red Sea a Meridian Oceanian and in the end Siberian but let's be honest this is not what you are here for you guys want country names and so do I so what you can see here is the genetic distance which means the DNA that is the furthest away from you is the DNA that you have the least in your body the closest country is the DNA that you have the most of all right and here comes the top 10 on number 10 and with it the furthest away from me is West Sicily on number nine we have Moldavia on number eight East Sicily number seven is Italian abruzo so on that note you can see that my heritage was right with saying that I am South Italian number six central Greece chaos followed by Tuscan on number five and now number four Serbian very interesting but on number three again Greek however this time Greek Tesla lie so again my heritage was correct by saying I am Greek and South Italian good job my heritage but now let's get to the really interesting part the top two on number two it is Romanian which is too surprising if you look into the Ottoman records which we will talk about in a second here this population was widespread in the demographics of Macedonia however now it is time for number one what is my closest DNA what is my closest genetic as a northern Macedonian as so-called northern Macedonian it is you guessed it it is of course Bulgarian and now let's be honest guys after my research I am of course not surprised I feel reaffirmed in my belief in my research however if I would have found out about this just couple of months back I would have been shocked because we all grow up with the belief that we are genetically different and I believe that this is the takeaway point here I believe that this is what we have to emphasize I believe that this is what we all have to understand it has been enough division on the Balkans what is the reason for the separation of North Macedonia and Bulgaria what is the genetic difference I've seen so many North Macedonians being disingenuous and claiming that the bullgas are Tatars they're talking about the bullgurs not the Bulgarian people what is the genetic difference in the Bulgarians and the northern Macedonians I am asking you of course the whole population is mixed and you will see different degrees of certain genetics that is just normal and of course in northern Macedonia there is a greater Serbian population than in Bulgaria but we are talking about the stereotypical the prototypical Macedonian and Bulgarian what is the difference I cannot find any before I wrap up this video let's talk about the Ottoman records of course there is conflicting evidence concerning the Ottoman records as well there is conflicting evidence from 1881 and even 1985 however the researchers disagree on the number of the population and not so much on the ethnicity overwhelmingly they all come to the same conclusion which is that the territory of North Macedonia back in the day was populated by bullgas Greeks Turks Vlahs Muslims Albanians Gypsies and others others meaning Armenian Catholic Protestant and Latin so guys if we take my DNA test and compare it to the Ottoman records I do believe we can draw conclusions it makes sense it is aligned you can see that the Ottoman records do confirm my DNA test so now for all the geeks and nerds among you stay tuned this video isn't over in the end I will list an even more detailed breakdown of my heritage of jetmatch so you can geek out check it out even further ancient civilizations and what not the rest this is it guys if you
