You're friends are right.

The Cromwell's were probably of Welsh heritage anyway

Depends on what you call 'human'. H. sap. sap., very likely 200k, possibly 300k depending on where you draw the line.

Will do. I like that term for them. Thanks!

This is actually inaccurate as they do not know how long humans exist and recently believe humans are much older.

I just worked there for school credit, so I didn’t have anything to do with published articles on it, but I know I’ve seen some. I think if you google “atypical burials Poland” you could find some. We were told to call the “vampires” atypical instead of vampires.

That's incredible. Have you all published a paper on the findings there? I'd love to read it.

Why is this such a uniquely American phenomenon? You never hear about Australians or Canadians of Irish descent being as militant as the American ones, or still identifying with a country they weren't raised or born in for that matter.

Am hoping this is the worst thing that ever happens to you. ;-)

Him calling it Soccer is probably what's garnering those downvotes more than anything lmao. Nothing gets European football fans more riled up against Americans than that.

He is referring to the Pilgrims and Puritan migration to New England in the 1600s. Massachusetts and Connecticut were Puritan strongholds, and even sheltered some of the Regicides who killed King Charles I.

However, I disagree with the whole "Puritans founded America" line. New England is only one small part of the USA, tucked away in the northeastern corner of the country. The rest of the colonies had completely different origins from NE and they were not Puritan strongholds by any means. In fact, the Quakers of Pennsylvania were persecuted in New England.

*founded one part of America

New England isn't the whole USA, that'd be like saying all of Germany is Swabia. Pennsylvania was founded by Quakers, not Puritans, while Virginia and the other Southern colonies were largely Anglican and had nothing to do with Puritanism. Then of course we have Maryland, which was founded by Catholics, the arch-nemesis of Puritans.

Boston likes to claim a sort of monopoly on American Independence War history, but lets not buy into their cheeky attempts to portray the whole country as them alone.

In Scotland, quite a lot of that destroying was actually done by the Presbyterian Scots themselves, in a similar iconoclasm to that which happened in the Netherlands when they began destroying Catholic "idols".

For instance, many Anglo-Saxon (southern Scotland included the old kingdom of Northumbria) crucifixes located in church graveyards were smashed and destroyed, because they contained "pagan" elements in them. The Ruthwell Cross is a surviving example of these crosses.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthwell_Cross

Kind of winter solstice-y. In Scotland the New Year's was the main celebration, they call it Hogmanay. It's just a local Scottish traditions, not Scythian or anything lol.

Traditions associated with it likely have influences from Scandinavians too, e.g. blond people (i.e Norwegian and Danish vikings coming to fuck your day up) are not allowed to enter the house first, because that's bad luck.

If you have rats, dogs are way better at controlling them. Your hulking barn tom will do ok with rats, but rats will mess up a regular cat but good.

Most of your rats were going to be in your fields, not inside your dwelling. Regardless, ratting is the whole point in breeding dogs like a Jack Russell, a dachshund and the like.

Horrible history reporting……picti means painted ones in latin

Honest question: Do you ever fear one might be a real vampire and rise from the dead?

It variates, but it's a kind of animal companion, a spiritual being. it got associated with witchcraft, but not necessarily demons, a concept way newer than witches, mages, sorcerers, magic etc

Heck yeah. I started a YouTube channel a year ago though, and I got so lazy, I stopped producing after just three episodes. Haha... It takes a lot of time and research

. But humans have been around for about 2 million years. So far research believes that humans migrated from Africa 60-90 thousand years ago. Homosapiens more likely mating with neanderthal. Neanderthal in Europe had the same set of teeth as humans did, didn't they? I wonder what the denisoven teeth were like.

There was a human tooth found in Georgia (the country) that’s 1.8 million years old
