World's 1st horseback riders swept across Europe roughly 5,000 years ago

Archaeologists accidentally discovered the world's earliest horseback riders while studying skeletons found beneath 5,000-year-old burial mounds in Europe and Asia, a new study finds.

The ancient riders were part of the so-called Yamnaya culture, groups of semi-nomadic people who swept across Europe and western Asia, bringing the precursor to the Indo-European language family with them. The findings strengthen the hypothesis that the horse played an integral part in the expansion of this group, and therefore, in the spread of the Indo-European language.

The new analysis came from 217 human skeletons from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, a geographical area that runs roughly from Bulgaria to Kazakhstan. For decades, researchers have debated when horses were domesticated. Read more.

writing sw fic in a star wars based conlang I constructed myself to avoid breaking suspension of disbelief by using any words that have connections to earth culture (all of them)

#like unfortunately I know the word ship comes from the old English scip which comes from the proto germanic *skipa #which could very likely come from the proto-indo-european *skei #which means that for me the word spaceship breaks suspension of disbelief #how can you have the word ship in a world with no Pontic-Cassian steppe? #linguistics #star wars

I was listening to this song on repeat again and I thought I’d share it here, as a quick search doesnt show any posts about it, but tumblr blog search sucks so idk.

Its the song from Το κόκκινο ποτάμι (the red river series) but in the pontic dialect, and its BEAUTIFUL. Γροθιά στο στομάχι το 2ο κουπλέ βέβαια

RE: I didn’t know it existed in Pontic Greek! Perhaps this should have been the title song instead. Without claiming I am an expert though, I sense that despite the lyrics, the accent is a little too standard, but still. Those lyrics are more meaningful than in Eleonora’s version which is more generic.

“The Queen of Hearts

She made some tarts,

All on a summer's day;

The Knave of Hearts

He stole those tarts,

And took them clean away.” 🃏❤️

Were inspired from the Halloween posts that I & @greypetrel shared with each other, since both of us still love gothic macabre spooky stuffs & didn’t want Halloween to fully go away. ♥️🃏

The 1st card depicted the clothing that I often drew them the most:Bronze Age Cypriot-Mycenaean Greek version & Classical-Hellenistic Greek version.

The 2nd one depicts Aphrodite in the festive rouziettin dress that comes from Cyprus’ urban areas & its traditional rural counterpart. It bears similar to the traditional Amalia dress of mainland Greece, and a lot of traditional wedding dresses were also festive dresses, after all. For Ares, his military fustanella dress comes from the region of northern Greece (perhaps somewhere in Macedonia-Thrace since he had always been associated with the military aspects as ”the god of war” & the northern barbarians). He also wore his Pontic Greek clothing as the god himself was also mythologically associated with that area, too. (The story of the Golden Fleece came to mind, as well as Ares’ island and the Amazons, too.)

I believe in Latino Wolfwood supremacy as long as it isn’t made weird. I know as a Greek person, I can’t really talk but as soon as I see “X culture Wolfwood” the immediate thing I think about is him cooking a ton of food from x culture to feed the gang and cursing at Vash in his mother tongue.

And saying a version of “oh for fucks sake” in mother tongue.

Also having home remedies from x culture at the ready as soon as he feels unwell.

#it’s that simple in my head #the additional thing is him almost always having a cigarette hanging from his lips #outdoor cooking? he’s also smoking at the same time too #Pontic-Greek Wolfwood in my head is always feeding others and has a warped idea of religion #definitely believes that being a good person trumps going to church every Sunday #charity above everything else ESPECIALLY when it comes to children

Thraco-Cimmerian Hypothesis: complications arise in reference to the Cimmerians of the Pontic-Caspian steppe when considering the so-called 'Thraco-Cimmerian Hypothesis', a rather controversial subject to say the least

It’s disgusting to think that my mom would root for our genocide had it happened today

#tw my mom #how do you #call yourself pontic #how dare you say all the things you say about pontus #and then a second later say that what is happening in Palestine is different #how dare you

Today, May 19th, we remember the Greek genocide.

We remember those who were forced from their homes, those who fled, and those who were killed in the same cities and towns where their families had lived for thousands of years.

We remember Pontian women who were abducted, raped, or forced into marriage.

We remember Pontian children who were orphaned.

We remember men who were sent to labor camps.

We remember families broken apart.

We remember those who resisted genocide and tried to defend their homes.

I remember my ancestors, those members of my family, who were killed. I hope the Turkish government will eventually acknowledge its wrongdoings and make recompense to the victims’ descendants. I hope to preserve Romeika and all Pontian cultural traditions for future generations. I hope we can all find peace.

When Tharkay speaks Durzagh I'm imagining it sounds something like kuş dili! Listen to it, it's amazing!

#man I would love to learn kuş dili #temeraire #tem: other #language #tem: dragon language #because I got a feeling that I might actually need that tag #the pontic mountains where the village kuş dili is associated with lies definitely look like dragons should live there
