Haha yeah! If you ever manage to do that trip, please share your findings with us.

@@Anttimation I will have made sure to do that last week, if the technology will have happened by then.

Doesn't work for everyone. Glad you like it 😁

Glad you enjoyed both the country and the videos :)

Thanks so much for your awesome comment! Yes a lot of Finnish immigrants settled in the Michigan upper peninsula, and since I started doing these videos I've had the pleasure to learn more about the Fenno-American culture and tradition.

I'm 25% from my dad (half Finnish) who's from Minnesota ... What are the odds our ancestors were on the same boat ? Lol

25% Finn here as well, although originally from Washington St! The Pacific Northwest is another "enclave" Finnish immigrants. Now living in Tasmania, Australia and since moving to Australia, have come across a handful of Finns... "Oh, your surname ends in 'nen', are you Finnish?"

Same, but on my side of my family my Finnish great grandpa on my mom's side migrated from Finland to mainland China when it was still a democracy and married my Chinese great grandma, then they migrated to the Philippines and had a family, then my mom and grandma came to the U.S. during the cold-war. I am a first generation Asian-American with roughly ~25% Finnish, Spaniard, and Chinese descent with me and my siblings being majority Filipino but I really resonate with Finnish sentiments, values, and way of thinking

Thanks! More prehistory to come, as Finland's historical period only starts from the (European) high middle ages.

Finland before Sweden was Kvenland.

Thank you! That's why I make these 💪

Haha nice! What are your favourite foods?

@@Anttimation legends say he still doesnt know

@@sethhenty6128 still keeps me awake at night...

Thank you! Very happy to hear.

Thanks so much! They are not easy to make, haha.

Interesting! I no longer play games but given the subject I will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! More is coming.

Excellent! That motivates me to go on with it

Cheers!!

Thanks! Glad to hear you've found this useful. Have a great time in Finland!

Thanks so much for the awesome comment!

Thank you! 💪

Thank you! That's really nice to hear.

Thank you! Also when Finnish immigrants settled in the woods, the Natives noticed how similar they were. They knew how to live in the woods, and liked to bathe in the sauna.

Hi! There are quite a few of us 3rd gen Finnish-Americans in the comments on this channel!!! Isn't he great?? I love his content so much! My husband *is* Native American,so our kids are "Finndian" 😁

@@nisaba5752 haha awesome, thank you! Since I started making these, I have learned more about the Fenno-American people and culture which has been great.

Finns share a lot in common with native Americans. I suspect perhaps maybe because Finns themselves may be from the same group of people in east Asia that decided to go over the land bridge while the Finns went the other way. But I think the history goes farther back then that. I think there was a great civilization long ago approximately 12,000 years ago that had a profound love and respect for nature and used it’s resonance and natural harmony to achieve great things. I think this love and respect for nature continued even as they were wiped out shortly after the younger dryas and native Americans and Finns are the descendants of that previous civilization or at least coexisted with them. But more plausibly it’s probably they were both the same group of people at one time before the ice age split where some went to America while the rest went to modern day Finland I say that because the natives of east Asia specifically in regions like Siberia and the other eastern Russian republics all also have similarities with native Americans particularly the usage of similar tents and sweat lodges . Also a bit anedoctal here but Finnish mythology was animistic, from what I understand so too are many Native American mythology’s and beliefs. The Japanese still hVe a animistic belief called Shinto where everything has a spirit in it similar to some Native American beliefs. Both the Japanese faith Shinto and ancient Finnish belief had votive offerings. The Japanese offer these to their kami for blessings and such. I suspect the finns did too. And such offering bowls have been found in Finland and I think North America as well. Also the looped square or the Käpälikkö has been found in the Mississippian culture from around the 8th century. Just something to note Also adding to everything, the contact between finns and the ojibwe were so profound both groups were banned from liquor places and bars since the people saw them as one lol

Cheers! 🙌🙌

Kiitos! 😁

Thank you! Not sure it will go ALL the way to Käärijä... But who knows, maybe!

Cheers Ken! 🙌

Thanks one again! 🙌

Thank you! Yeah, the popular videos that are full of mistakes inspired me to make this, haha.

@@Anttimation I'll notice that, thats why hunt native channals X'D, And i know how you feel, because i have seen alot og big channals completely butcher indian mythos, who knows what wiki pedia entries they have been reading from 🤣🤣🤣

@@ichigoapanchal9935 Yeah! Do you have good Indian mythology channels to recommend?

@@Anttimation well there are few but half of them took the political turn 💀, they totaly ignore the philosophal sides of mythos we had one guy named devdutt patnaik who writes about world legends it on his site

Thank you! A new part is in the making...

Thank you!

Thanks! 🤘

Awesome! Thank you.

Thank you very much! Well, it is constantly getting more views, slowly but surely...

Thanks! It's also sad just how little history is taught in general. For someone not interested in the subject, all they might remember is some homo species started walking upright, then there was ancient Greece and Rome, then some world wars and Finland was a part of Sweden/Russia before.

​@@AnttimationFinland was directly a part of Sweden almost 600 years and later an autonomous grand duchy of Russia's Empire of tsar 100 years with a lot of privileges. During the revolution 1917 in Russia Finland declared its independence and has been independent ever since.

@@butterflies655 Finland was partly called Kvenland before Swedes and was not part of Sweden for 600 years, that is the old biased story. There were also Danish and Polish rule at 1500, also Sweden ruled only small part of western point Finland starting slowly with help of roman catholic help at 1300's with their crusaders, at those times also part of that is now northern Sweden, was also finnish speaking and saami people, only after 1600 Sweden got to rule the other parts and even then Finland was autonomous, There were no Swedish military at Finland. Sweden only robbed Finns and used them for their wars, they never managed to change the language. That is the reason why finnish and swedish bibles were first published to the finns and swedes at same time

Thanks! Well this goes well hand in hand then. Not the easiest language you have decided to learn 😅

Indeed 😅

Cheers!

Glad to hear, thank you! you have chosen to live close to a medieval castle, well done 😎

I live about 20 min drive from the castle, but in the deep countryside. Theres actually quite a bit of interesting Medieval history here, all over, where I live. Some of not so well known. Im really a medieval history afficionado my self. If I wouldnt have become a musician, I would have become a historian maybe. Cheers! @@Anttimation

I do my self more of an outdoor channel. But have started to do Some videos related to Finnish history also. Two of my great passions. Maybe should start to do some research and videos of the medieval history of my village.

@@OldForestBushcraft go ahead! I went and subscribed.

@@Anttimation thanx man!👍

Thank you!

Thank you! That is great to hear.

Thanks! Nobody will be watching... Is that good? I have joked about that before and will do again :D

@@Anttimation 7:56 Just for that I won’t be changing my name!

Thank you!

Thank you! I hope if not schools, then at least maybe some more enthusiastic pupils can look it up

Kiitos! Joo, on siitä Kalevalassakin ja SKVR:ssä niin paljon viitteitä että ihme jos ei olisi harrastettu.

@@Anttimation What is SKVR?

@@nisaba5752 a large collection of old poems (in Finnish) at skvr.fi

Well that's something I didn't know! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! That's great to hear. More of this series is coming soon ;)

Tbh I haven't read much about it. Some Finnish words and place names have Sami origins. What is generally misunderstood due to the indigenous status of the Sami is that our ancestors have been here equally long.

Finnish and Sami are two totally different languages. I have watched news in Finland that are in sami language and I have no idea what they are saying. The base of the languages might be the same Uralic, but thousands of years later the languages are different.

@@Mayhem-pv9cc right, it's familiar but not mutually intelligible. I can identify with some effort between the two. I also can't speak either, my Finnish is non existent, only can remember a few words at a time, then forget.

Finland does not have Sami ppl very many. Most of them occur in Norway. Sweden is next. Finland is the third. Sami ppl are different ppl with a completely different culture. Sami's have a very wonderful and unique culturally of their own.

And in Russia also.

Many thanks!! Re: emoji, I'm not sure if it's only for live streams and such, I'll investigate.

It says: Your emoji will appear in the emoji picker. Your members can also use emoji in comments and live chat by typing : immediately before and after the emoji name. For example, if the emoji name is wow, members can type :wow: to make it appear. Is the emoji picker the thing you press to access all the emojis? Not sure 😅 The name is hannu (hannunvaakuna was too long), so by typing it should appear. If it works, I could make more of those!

@@Anttimation So I'm assuming the emoji picker is only for the live chat feature, got it!. Kiitos! Btw, taideteos on vittu uskomaton!

Iso kiitos!! 🙌

Finns really have nothing common with native american or siberian though lets be honest. Very minimal basically nothing. Ancestry from siberia 2-15% yes and language partially and most stories and mythologies of finns are of pagan baltic origin. Sami in other hand very much siberian and well yeah many finnish families are mixed with sami and sure those families may have siberian "vibe"

Coming on April 1st 2024 maybe 😂

Martti Haavio has written about Ahti being the patriarch (emuu) of the seal family but it didn't make it to the video I guess

Kiitos paljon! Näitähän on koko sarja, ja uusia osia vielä tulossa.

Kiitos paljon! Mahtavaa kuulla :)

Kiitos! Kiinnostavia aiheita ehdottomasti. En vaan tiedä niistä ihan kauheasti, niin pitäisi tutkia ensin tarkemmin... Ellei sitten joku muu ehdi tekaista videota ensin 😁

Haven't heard that before! Thanks for sharing.

No one is responsible for their ancestors' deeds. Still, thanks, I appreciate it :D That's how I see Sweden/other Nordics too, similar but still quite different.

Thank you! Yeah the history of humanity is filled with bloodshed, in some places even more than others.

Ok mutta... Homokampela? 😂

Juu, yhen kaverin keksimä nimi jonka sitten päätin vara.. lainata.

And least known.

The old (nationalist) theory puts the primordial home of the proto-Finns in the "curve of the river Volga" but that's no longer supported. I can't say more specifically than from the east, and later from the west too. Many related Uralic peoples dwell in Siberia/Russia and their surviving folklore has been crucial to the studying of Finnish myths too.

@@Anttimation Yeh - I didn't mention the genetic thing. Native Americans share traits with the folks who live in North Asia giving strong credibility to them crossing an old land bridge across Alaska thousands of years ago. I think it may be found that there are similar genetic markers for you Finn folk also pointing East. Whatever it is - It is what it is. Keep drawing.

Finns have not got epicanthic folds more than other countries. Actually they are very very rare. Finns in general have blond hair, blue eyes, white complexion and they are tall. Watch the video "Which country has the most blondies?" The answer is Finland.

@@butterflies655 Certainly not more than Japan. However, look into Lapland. Sami people have these characteristics. Not always, but they are there. My father's family is from the Rovaniemi area and this feature pops up in some relatives.

@@daniellarson3068 The Sami ppl are a different race and they have a completely different culture. Finland even has not gotten them very much. Norway has them most. Sweden is the second and Finland the third.

Suurkiitos!

Have no idea about that tbh!

Yeah

Aattelin tehdä ensin tällaiset yleiskatsaukset 2000-luvulle asti, ja sitten myöhemmin ehkä lisäjaksoja väleihin esim. sodista tai eri aikakausien arjesta ym.

@@Anttimation odotan innolla 😄👍

Well, Uralic people did mix in Baltics about 20-30 000 years ago, from that group first people came to Finland about 10-12 000 years ago which are now known as Finnish people. There were direct Uralic movement too to the North, Sami people but they moved through all Nordics. That was about 3000 years ago. There were small movement of people in Finland even before all this but they were not permanent settlements as the ice kept moving back and forth at the time, or at least nohting else from that era has been found but hunters camps and tools.

Thanks! I'll try to remember to correct it when I compile all the episodes into one video.

If it was Egyptian propaganda I'd never admit it... 😉

Well it's the name of the continent... So you're welcome 😁

What was the name of the inland culture?

@@Anttimation Asbestos-ceramic cultures is the general name, but there were many different named regional cultures within the group.

@@lottaraatikainen3942 Ah yes!

Kiitos! Joo, se losahti tässä videossa turhan kovalle jostain syystä. Seuraavassa osassa jo korjattu 🤓

🤺☦🇷🇺Dear and beloved Finnics, you are the founders of our Rus nation. You are the descendants of Meshech

Not replaced but assimilated. Our maternal line carries the DNA of Middle- East while paternal carries the Uralic DNA. Indoeuropeans newer really settled here in any significant numbers which also shows in Finnish DNA.

@@duhni4551 the finnish genome is made up of 3 main components, early iron age estonia (proto baltic finnic tarand graves) Sami and Germanics of coastal Finland, early iron age estonians were mostly baltic and sintashta iranic (indoeuropean) with 3-6% PU ancestry. Sami also had high IE ancestry. And do I even have to explain germanics?

@@LassiM-wx5cv I suggest you read a bit the 2018 DNA study about Finnish DNA. Finland has been inhabited over 10 000 years, the people who inhabited our country came mostly from Baltic Region which was already mixed with Uralic tribes, Sami etc. people came here around 3000 years ago. That also shows in Finnish DNA. Indo-European influence is there but not in any major numbers that would justify anyone to say we are Indo-Europeans even a bit.

Saksalaisesta Kalevalasta..?

Oh wow, is that when you are ritualisticly and meticulously born and looped into a dimension that appears normal but it's very much not normal and you track uphill both ways and aquire massive amounts of experience and abilities from hardships, and you're not supposed to know that you were likely born dead but you're being framed for harvest? Because I'm pretty sure I've been there this whole time. The "dead giveaway" being no matter how much work, you never acquire independence or earn self sufficient income. And anyone who joins you in your frame takes a huge hit in status, income, respect, really everything.

Joo, en ole ääninäyttelijä, kuten tarkkakorvaisimmat saattavat huomata :D Kannattaa katsoa Kalevala-videot Reidar Waseniuksen eeppisellä tulkinnalla: kzfaq.info/sun/PLnPVbS6-nxFeGiaHSydtjXB-UsKCw774R

Wtf🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Nope read and learn some more hahaahaha XD Your comment makes no sense. Nothing hun about finns

Kiitos!

Finland is indeed on the Eurasian continent, continent being a continuous landmass separate from the sea.

​@@Anttimationdefinitely it is. Not.

Greetings back!

Yeah... Except no 😂

LoL, we are the largest critics of our own country, there isn't a day when we don't do that in a way or another. Thing is, we could have it lot worse and we know it, understand it and that makes us happy that we have at least what we have. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be room for improvement, thus the criticizing.

Meni vähän ohi, kun en osaa kieltäsi
