      @FeelMetalMan 3 года назад +26

      argentinians have inherited a massive amount of culture from the immigration from Italy, so it's obvious that even if many are mostly genetically related to spaniards they kind of feel in touch with Italy. The thing that relates argentinians and spaniards is history and more importantly the language, and that's a massive cultural connection we must not underestimate.

      Italian and Spanish may be in the mix, but the mix includes more than that: Native South American is quite significant, despite the desire of most Argentines to bury that detail; Middle Eastern is also statically significant, Argentine presidents in contemporary times have had Arab blood; and let us not forget peoples from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

      No there probably were no black vikings but one black guy from a foreign sailors tribe finding his way to the Norse is not a weird idea at all. Im actually a 100% confident such a thing happened.
      The Norse didnt write very much so maybe we will never know.

    • @lilwater7358

      @DriftZ TwoSeven funny to speak about culture and religion. We find viking tribes from at least 3 different religions and 5 cultures. But whatever.
      What you know today as "Norse religion" is a mostly christian pseudo bible made from pieces of actual Norse mythology, filled with slavic christian folklore and catholic symbolism.
      We dont know the actual "viking" religion in its full extend.
      If you read the islandic versions its not viking religion as you mean it.

    • @heronofheaven
      @heronofheaven 6 лет назад +13

      Misha Gelenava It's more like being a national football legend better not declare something about un-Argentina thing before it happens from the test. Careful when you talk.

    • @mishagelenava2962
      @mishagelenava2962 6 лет назад +25

      Not really, he said he expected mostly Spanish heritage and pretty much only European heritage. Recognizing that a lot of Argentinians have Italian ancestry should not really be a big deal, if you recognize Spanish ancestry so easily.
      I think he knows about Spanish immigrants simply because they speak Spanish in Argentina, but he doesn't have much knowledge of the history of Argentina. Probably because he was good young player when he was in school and put much time in football, rather than learning history and math and etc. It's OK, I'm not throwing mud at Crespo. I just noticed it and commented about.

    • @mishagelenava2962
      @mishagelenava2962 6 лет назад +30

      And language is also Spanish. Maybe because Spain was there first and they formed the colony. Italians emigrated later, maybe some people even had to switch family names. One thing I know likes of Maradona, Messi, Di Stefano, Di Maria have Italian ancestry. Every "Di" something is Italian with the roots.

    • @mishagelenava2962
      @mishagelenava2962 6 лет назад +6

      It also must depend on region. I know Uruguay had also big number of Italian Immigrants and Brazilian state's at Argentine border have big number of Italians, probably north-East regions of Argentina has more Italian.

    I think there can be a connection to land even if you've never been there before. I took a trip to England back in the 90s. I felt so at home there and I kept seeing people that looked like they could be in my extended family. I stood on the dock in Liverpool and wondered if any of my ancestors may have left for America from there. I recently took the Ancestry DNA test and it came back 83% Great Britain. That's pretty huge - most modern day Brits don't have a percentage that high. Its no wonder I've always felt connected to that island.
