  • While many have not heard of the region of the world known as the Eurasian Steppe, this region has had a profound impact on the course of human civilization, giving birth to various cultures which would branch out from their original homeland, and go on to create and impact many of the nations and empires which have shaped the history of the world

    A steppe is the same as a plain... It would be interesting to discuss the various tribes/ ethnicities of this region. Scythians, Huns, Avars, Alans, Khazars, Magyars... Actually, going westward, the steppe ends in Hungary.

    Happy to see your sharing about various geographical, cultural and historical videos. As another commentor has wrote to you, you can maybe try to listen to several other youtubers that produce similar videos as you do like dan carlin, to hear how they speak (not to compare on purpose nor to imply for you to copy what they write and discuss). You can slowly learn to omit unnecessary words and sounds as you can also produce these types of videos into a story-telling manner where the audience will fully be listening to you. So the umms and lips smacking, repetition of words (that you can get away with during presentations) tend to irritate listeners because they arent watching you videos nor watching you do a presentation. So instead it may even be better to convey your videos in a manner of reading out you essay because in essays you tend to tone down unnecessary, excessive and filler words (unless they help to prove your point). Hope you keep making videos and keep up the good work!

    Its amazing how every peoples that moved into the steppe went on to dominate at some point usulay elsewhere in migration. As if the steppe enriches everyone . Horses must be the key to this success. The deer and horses love this pastoral land .
    We know since paleo times its been what languages call indo European . The migration of people's into sumeria ,Greece,thrace,likley indus,hitittes,gaul,mongols,huns,turks all seem to have at some point used the steppe to build themselves up both in population and with it knowledge and milatary strength grew out of the good life.
    So many more names linked to this but you get the just.

    One interesting thing is that the Finnhorse (horse breed native to Finland) seems to originate further from beyond the Urals in eastern Eurasia. Although oldest archeological evidence for horse riding related items, such as bits and horse shoes date to the migration period, grave finds also show that domesticated horses were in Finland at the time of the bronze age (1500s BCE to 500s BCE roughly). The interesting thing about this is that the Finnhorse without any mixing with European breeds is very eastern-like, it is stocky, more like a pony almost and a 2014 genetic study on Finnhorses concluded that the closest genetic relatives to it are the Mongolian and Yakutian horses, Estonian horse and the Mezen horse. It seems very likely that the ancestors of the Finnhorse came with the Finno Ugric migrants into Finland from the Volga-Ural region, where they in turn were acquired from beyond the Urals. Another thing is that the Finnhorse (much like Finns themselves) aren't genetically or visually that similar, there were the eastern Finnish type which was the more stocky, pony-like one and then there was the western/central Finnish type which was more similar to other European breeds due to mixing. The differences between these two types were still fairly easy to spot in the early 20th century, but nowadays they aren't as distinct from each other due to breeding and mixing.

    Nice job overall and very nice map. However there's a few things that I will mention that would help to make this more complete. Sorry no offense intended here, I only wish to help you to make it as historically accurate as possible and I am happy to share my knowledge with you my friend.
    I have been reading about the Steppe Peoples for many years and you are right they absolutely helped shape and influence the sedentary civilizations, in fact both the settled and the pastoral societies had rather complex interrelationships with each other sometimes peaceful and other times warring.
    The larger more developed Steppe Peoples (larger tribes and Confederations) had laws and governmental systems. Many also spoke agglutinative languages mostly from the (Ural-Altaic) group of languages.
    When reading the ancient Roman And Chinese accounts, we need to be mindful that many times "The Steppe Peoples" are portrayed in derogatory ways, not all were ignorant Barbarians.
    In their lifestyle, they were not truly nomads in the strictest sense of the word, instead they practiced what is known as transhumance pastoralism. (Transhumance pastoralists follow a cyclical pattern of migrations that usually take them to cool highland valleys in the summer and warmer lowland valleys in the winter.
    Last but not least, The Steppe zone of Eurasia stretches from Manchuria and ends in Hungary a large prairie in the carpathian basin known as the Alföld.

    7:40- 7:45: Not all languages in India are Indo- European. Only the languages that are derived from Sanskrit can be termed as Indo-European. The early version of Sanskrit was brought to India from the steppe pastorals around 3000 BC. Before the coming of the Steppes, India had a great Civilization known as the Indus Valley Civilization, where Proto elamite language was spoken. The languages that are derived from the proto elamite (the Dravidian languages)are still spoken by the decendends of the great Indus Civilization( which is actually a good percentage of the Indian population).

It's after the catastrophic events we see the kush nubians and olmecs and such repopulating these old sites that are still standing, but on the other hand all kinds of people are repopulating the old world, not just people of black skin.

    The people of India are from very ancient times, tens of thousands of years if not hundreds of thousands of years. The so-called Aryan migration to India happened in the very recent past. That too mostly in the northern parts of the present India. They did not contribute anything to Indian culture. In fact, they assimilated with Indian culture. Also, there was no Aryan invasion to India. This narration in this video about Indian culture is from the twisted European version of 1800s borne out of their superiority complex. In ancient Indian scriptures the term Arya was used to address a highly educated young adult. There were no Aryan tribe ever in ancient India. Then, Indian civilization was using horses and Chariots more than 7000 years ago. Also, Buddhism was spread to the north western parts of India ( present day Pakisthan, Afghanistan etc) by Mayuran empire of India, much earlier than the Kushan empire. There are many such misinterpretations about India. No offense meant. Just an effort to straighten a few key facts.

Becsuse its has water , fertile soil and 4 seasons in a years . Lands were conquered in the past om the basis of power and war not on the basis of civilization. If you look at history , empires were built and lands were conquerred who migrated alot and had some fightings skills . And this euroasian steppe had a big role in making those empires .

In concusion, by this theory both "Xiongnu" and "Hunnu" are okay to say, because it is the same word after many transliterations.

    With so many people in an area over the centuries, it always strikes me funny. That a group of people will insist that their people were there 1500 years ago. And, that they looked and talked the same. I doubt that theres any place better than the U.S. to see that, that's not what happens. You can see a race totally altered in just a lifetime.

      The Indo-European languages, which the Celtic languages are a branch of, did originate from the Eurasian Steppe (i.e. the Yamnaya culture). This draws a linguistic connection between the Irish and the Eurasian Steppe. Now, whether the Irish are descendants of Indo-European settlers to Ireland, or whether the Celtic languages were spread to Ireland through cultural diffusion (i.e. the natives of Ireland remained largely the same genetically, but spoke a new language/languages) is a whole other conversation

    Russian steppe: Real Russia/Provincial Russia. Southwestern Russia. Chernozem (black land) economic region (chernozem soils are one of the most fertile soils in the world). The Belgorod region is located at the border of the steppe and the forest, the Belgorod region - the forest-steppe ("Yamska steppe" Nature park - The only wild steppe in Europe not plowed under agricultural crops. Belgorod steppe - is Russian savannah (African-type steppe with trees). The city of Belgorod ("white city" to russian) was founded by Russian colonists in 1596 as an anti-nomadic fort, an anti-nomadic defensive line of forts in southern Russia from Turkish and Crimean Tatar military and robbery raids to Central Russia. The Russians achieved a military advantage with the help of a more developed economy. Nomadic warriors could not oppose anything to the Russian fortress artillery and military raids ceased. The raiding economy fell into decay, and the nomads switched to the service of the Russian Tsar. Former nomadic steppes joined the Russian State (History of Russia - World History). Belgorod city: population 394.000 citizens, ethnic composition: ethnic russians 94.5%. Look, city of Belgorod outskirts, Veziolka River park and mini beachs, russian savannah nature, a typical trees in Belgorod: oak, poplar, maple, thuja, spruce, pine, elm, linden, mulberry, birch, acacia, willow, mountain ash, ash, pear, apple, bird cherry, aspen, wild rose. ruclips.net/video/dF5J_ULKS2g/видео.html
    Real Russia, drive from the Industrial zone and suburbs to the Belgorod outskirts. The russian savanna of temperate climate, chalk mountains. Belgorod average annual temperature +8.3 °C.

    Very interesting topic, but still there are some mistakes:
    - domestication of the horse is proven to occur before Yamnaya culture.
    - about Scythians name, it's probably from greek not because of the term "Saka". The term "Saka" appears in Herodotus where he claims the Persian people call them like that. In archaeology exist a term for all "Scythian" cultures called "Sako-Scythian horizon". Also calling them "pagan" is wrong. They had a religion, mentioned earlier historian gave us some detail about their religion.
    - about Xiongnu, their origin is unknown. There are theories about it, even one of them says they were from China. Also, it's very important to point out the fact "Xiongnu" was a Chinese name for northern barbarians (later this term transformed thanks to other cultures to the Latin "Huna/Huni" and English "Huns"). The culture you describe was in reality made of many small tribes (some well known by the name) and should be called a confederation of tribes.
    - another inaccuracy is to say China was paying "tributary" to Xiongnu. In fact, the expensive gifs for Xiongnu were called "heqin" and it was a form of diplomacy used by the Empire. Instead of keeping a large amount army by the borders, Empire was sending gifts to maintain the peace and "addict" the other side to their products.

    Whilst the videos good the actual domestication of horses is widely contested & could have been any of a hundred tribes Yamnaya or not because original domestication would've been done riding bareback & therefore there's no physical evidence. A lot of your stuff was good as in you're in the right ball park, however there's a lot of generalisation. Like the Xiongnu being the basis for Mulan, wrong, firstly because the Rourans were the invading force in the original ballad because it was based in a very specific time period & second because Mulan was only half Han Chinese. She was born in the Northern Wei which was under Tuobo control & her father was a Tuobo. Tuobo allowed women to be trained in combat, her parents encouraged Mulan to fight in the ballad & in both Chinese & Tuobo cultures you take your fathers heritage. Tuobo are just as much related to Mongols & Xiongnu as Rourans & are closer to being Xiongnu to the Huns. Disney was just being racist.
