What is the Nebra Sky Disk of Germany? And why it's cool.
Our European ancestors had a vast trade network as well as a fascination with the stars and the the night-time sky. In this video, we look at one artifact - the Nebra Sky Disk - which brings together ancient European trade and prehistoric astronomy into a single device, the oldest physical depiction of the sky's bodies known to humankind. And it was done so with purpose in religion, royal rite, politics and farming in what may have been a relic of immense power and prestige for a ruling dynasty now lost to our historians.

Italy's Lost Germanic Kingdom, the Ostrogoths

These rulers came in to conflict with Byzantium and Justinian the Great's ambition after the fall o...

    Its not the oldest known depiction but depiction on an object. Magura cave callendar from Bulgaria is much older and much more detailed. Also, did you see what was the DNA of Unetice coulture? Romanian and albanese ancient european I2 haplogroup mixed with early R1b indoeuropeans. Celts, like dacians and basically thracians. The spiral bracelets are like the dacian bracelets but not as impressive.

    There is a little confusion. Thracians were a people from Dan, Thraconidis in northern Israel, from Boemia to Kazakhstan. Like Phoenicians, started to form more than 1000 BC. Like Daani, the Greeks in Odyssey, and Dardanii, the troyans east. After 730 BC, Israel was moved north by the Assyrians, as Kumer, last king, Cimerians, Saka(sin), (Persian), Samarians, capital of Israel, Galata, from GALILEE. Name seen all over Europe.

Guadalajara means the river of faeces, there is a Spanish hymn extolling this town. Portuguese has strange sounds. Where comes the crazy (the Romanian sanely kept the Latin us as u, as in Ionescu)) habit of Portuguese reading the o as u and e as i? O urro do leao = U urru du lia..u. Burbuleta. And the Portuguese R is even more barbaric than the Russian R as in escarro,sarro, catarro, carraça, carroça, carro,barro, bairro, resmungar, refilar. Portuguese pronounciation is much mumbled inwardly (as in Southern Italy) less so in Brazil. Brazilians speak like children, ignore grammar, skip the final r in verbs and transform the final L in an U as in Braziu and legau. And they eat monkeys !
