Half of these are common names in the mexican communities. I'm mind blown because before I did my DNA test my grandmother's last name, according to google, is Hebrew. My ancestry came back and the third on the list is Basque so I've been researching everything about the Basque people which is how I ended up here and I now find out theough you that my grandmother's maiden name is Basque not Hebrew.. I'm so confused. Her maiden name is Aramburo.

historical notes: Every European country had Inquisition, including the Nordic countries. It was a political tool. In Spain the great majority of people preferred religious trial over the trial of the authorities. And to put into perspective, the Inquisition in all over Europe during its entire existence that span across centuries, only killed 38,000 people less than what Israel has massacred in Gaza in a few months, less than what the 40,000 the Aztecs killed in a year of feeding their foul gods (I'm Mexican, my Otomi ancestors were victims of the Aztecs) And final correction. the Zugarramurdi witches is a myth, they never existed.
@Primalintent3 күн бұрын
Although I agree about the heinousness of the genocide in Gaza, you're whitewashing and reducing a lot in these so-called historical notes. For starters, Inquisitions were not the sole source of heretical death in Europe, they are a very small part of a larger tapestry, and witch hunts in many places were decentralized and not particularly well-documented. The Inquisition's horror should not be measured in deaths, as most of their victims were people forcibly expelled from regions, and although they didn't kill that many people comparatively, they torture far more than they killed. Europe's population was also smaller in these times so the raw numbers may only seem small in a modern context. Next, referring to Nahua gods as foul immediately shows your bias. Where did you get the supposed "more than 40000 a year" metric? Juan de Zumarraga? The guy whose job it was to explicitly create anti-Aztec propaganda to convert indigenous people to Catholicism? The guy who famously spent very little time with Nahua people and was extremely ignorant? Tenochtitlan housed at most 60k sacrifical skulls TOTAL, which when you see they had a 1000 year history means a rate 60 deaths a year... except we don't even know if that part is true because we've never seen that amount of skulls as most were moved or damaged in the conversion process. You can't honestly take these colonial missionaries at their word for the scale, they were all exaggerating, much like Cortés. If there were 40000 people dying a year, where did all the bodies end up? How did they dispose of mass bodies so easily and leave so little evidence in a salt water lake that preserves bones so well? They carted them off to the desert? Think about this harder than just throwing in your lot with Spanish Catholics because Tlaxcala and the Triple Alliance had a rivalry. The Otomi people's oppression was real, but you're framing it like it was a holocaust. Finally, I agree that the Zugarramurdi witches were not witches. But that doesn't mean they weren't something outside the framework of what was considered Spanish Catholicism. They probably practiced folk christianity and thus had rituals, beliefs, and superstitions outside what was considered acceptable. However we know that Alonso de Salazar Frias was not convinced of any satanic, demonic, or even pagan dealings and rituals in the regions of Euskal Herria he investigated. Famously, only 6 people were executed at all in this largest witch hunt in history. But it is worth noting that prior to Salazar joining proceedings the other two Inquisitors were scrambling to get hundreds if not thousands killed and the Inquisition's skepticism as well as those two Inquisitor's refusal to designate a third seat for their branch led to Salazar being sent over, so even his skepticism was likely a tool for an internal struggle in the Inquisition. Everything must be made in context, and although you are pushing back on pop myths, which I appreciate, you are also towing a Catholic apologia line and pulling the same ridiculous strawman version out for attacking the Nahua and Mexica peoples. You yourself are clearly a vengeful source on the subject, instead of trying to dig in deeper to the updated research.

2:45 Kaixo Anne-Marie, here Harkaitz from Urnieta, near Donostia. I think you know the meaning... think about trees... you know in basque Zuhaitz means tree. (Zuhaitz also is a boy name) . It has the same ending as in Harkaitz. The ending haitz means rock. And in zuhaitz, the first part come from zur, as you know means wood. So zuhaitz, the trees are woodenrocks... And in Harkaitz the first part comes from Harri, so Harkaitz is Rock's rock... or big rock.

Kaixo Anne Marie, Eskerrik asko for your videos. I will share another view respect to Euskalduna, or like somepeople wrote in comments Eskualduna. As you said, duna means the people whu has something. But I don't know why people, I also in the past, use to linked only Euskal whith the basque language. As you know in Iparralde is more common to say Eskual... Esku, is hand. al can translate as power, and duna as I tell before, the persone whu has..... so Eskualduna can be traslated also as The people whu has the hand power... something like the people whu has the power to do whith their hands all they needs.... or people whu has te capability to do what they decide, maybe.... I feel you love your roots, and hope this idea can open a special way in your basque journey... I suggest you to search on youtube Odon Ulibarrena's videos. Besarkada handi bat Donotialdetik.

I am half Basque from my mother's side. And let me tell you that between her blood and my blood we've gotten strange remarks and comments from doctors our whole lives. On top of that are my teeth. Where to start! First, instead of the normal 4 wisdom teeth humans have that are usually pulled when they become a bother as they grow up, I had 6 pulled out of my head. Two on top and four of them on the bottom. The orthodontist was beside himself because of it. So there is a chart with my name and xrays and treatment plan on it from the 90s that shows the extraction of my wisdom teeth. Then there's my regular teeth, but they are not regular. I go in for a root canal and my dentist does it perfectly for the tooth it is but a few days later I start feeling that same tooth throb. Then the tooth that just had its roots ripped out and supposed to be dead is aching. I go back to my dentist and we find out that I have weird teeth and some of them have extra roots like the one that's aching. And it wasn't because the dentist missed it but because the way the root branched off the nerve. I had to go to an endodontist, get a CT scan of that tooth, and have the endodontist do the tiny root canal on that third root. Insurance covered the first visit, but the CT scan and specialist was $300 out of pocket for me. And because of my freak teeth I had to see the specialist again before for a hidden extra roots, it was 2 that time. And today I need to see the specialist again because the 2 rooted tooth has a third one somewhere a CT scan will find it. And trying to get a tooth pulled? Instead of having teeth that go into your gums like a gentle curve )( mine are like fish hooks that will hold on for dear life, embedded in my gums forever. Also, tartar never builds up on my teeth. But it doesn't matter how well I brush or floss I will always get cavities because my mouth or saliva is very acidic. So it's slowly disintegrating the teeth in my mouth until they are all gone. But I still brush and floss regularly. Only because I don't like having food stuck between my teeth or the rough feeling on my teeth from plaque.

Another well-known Venezuelan of Basque descent was Antonio Anzoategui. The northeastern state of Anzoategui was named after him. Simon Bolivar, Venezuela's founding father and most famous son, was of Basque descent on his father's side. He traces his ancestors to Spain's Basque Country, where his surname was originally spelled "Bolibar". There is actually a place named "Bolibar".

So I'm pretty sure my family is Basque at some point and I've known this for a while and really connected with it, but TL;DR my last name is 'Aristeguieta' meaning from what my dad has told me, and some of the research I've done on my own A boar under an oak tree (there's even a coat of arms at some point showing this I think), I've heard might also be connected to the Hapsburgs, and likely Spanish coloniztion because my dad was born in Vienna/Wein and then also lived in Venezuela where we have many cousins particularly in Maracaibo and Caracas I think, and then did medical school and eventually made his way to America and becoming a green card resident. But also I really want to dive in and connect more, oh and in addition to being Basque/part Basque I have recently converted to Judaism by way of a few local Reform synagogues to me, so I may be one of a few Basque Jews (never mind Jews by choice), though it's also worth noting that may be relevant as well because many crypto Jews expelled from Spain also went to the "New World," for the Spanish empire. I'm still just figuring things out, would love to learn more of the language, food, and dance/music as well and eventually travel to and spend significant time in the Basque nation.

Giuseppe Catapano: "Atlantida which disappeared 12,000 years ago, was the land of the Pelasgians (ancestors of Albanians), who escaped the flood of Atlantis and began new civilizations on all continents, especially in Europe, Africa and small Asia". THOTH spoke Albanian! Thot means "to say" in Albanian Language. Pelasgian means "the Caveman" (Shpellazg). Zeus was a Pelasgian, not a Helen! After Illyad, the Language of Gods was Gheg.(Herodotus) A study recently published in Science Magazine 2023 proves the antiquity of the Albanian language, which is much earlier than the Greek and Armenian languages > 8000 years old. The oldest settlements of Europe > 8000 years old were found in Ohrid Lake Albania. Sanskrit, old Greek, and Latin languages are already dead. The Albanian Language "GHEG Dialect" is still alive! It is a proto Indo-European language, indeed. It deciphers the symbols and other languages.

Type O isn’t actually a good blood type to have, if you think about it. I’m AB+, which is the opposite of Type O negative. I can receive blood from all types, while type O- can donate to everyone but only receive Type O- blood. Also in organ transplantation, type AB+ can receive organs from anyone without the body attacking it as a foreign substance, while Type O negative cannot. It seems relatively weak compared to AB positive. Bragging about Type O negative blood is like bragging about being lactose intolerant, and why would you be proud about that. And also, it’s a lot harder to have children if your spouse is Rh positive, which is the majority. AB positive is a lot stronger and more versatile than Type O negative.
