The ancient Pelasgians mentioned by the Greek poet Homer were a mysterious and enigmatic people who played a significant role in early Greek mythology and history. Homer described them as a prehistoric civilization, often associated with the region of Thessaly and the city of Argos. However, the exact origins and characteristics of the Pelasgians remain a subject of debate among historians and scholars.

According to Homer, the Pelasgians were a people who lived in the time before the Trojan War and were associated with the construction of massive structures, such as the walls of Mycenae. They were considered skilled builders and were often depicted as a semi-divine or legendary group. Some ancient Greek writers even suggested that the Pelasgians were the original inhabitants of Greece, predating other Greek-speaking tribes.

The historical reality of the Pelasgians is complex and elusive, as they appear in various ancient Greek texts with different interpretations. Some scholars argue that they were a distinct ethnic group, while others propose that the term "Pelasgians" was used to refer to various indigenous populations of the Aegean region.

Ultimately, the true identity and nature of the Pelasgians remain shrouded in the mists of antiquity, leaving us with fragments of mythology and historical accounts that continue to intrigue and fascinate to this day.

The proto-Indo-European ancestors of the Greeks in and around the Black Sea region are generally believed to be the people known as the Proto-Greeks or the Mycenaean Greeks. The Mycenaean civilization, which flourished from around the 16th to the 12th century BCE, is considered an important precursor to classical Greek civilization.

The Mycenaeans were part of a broader group of Indo-European speakers who migrated into the Balkans and Anatolia during the Bronze Age. These migrations are often associated with the expansion of the Indo-European language family, which includes Greek as one of its branches. The exact origins of the Proto-Greeks are still a subject of ongoing research and debate among historians and linguists.

The Mycenaeans established a powerful civilization centered around the southern part of mainland Greece, with major centers such as Mycenae, Pylos, and Tiryns. They were skilled warriors, traders, and builders, known for their impressive palaces and fortifications. Their culture and language laid the foundation for the later development of ancient Greek civilization.

It's important to note that while the Mycenaeans and their language are considered a significant part of the proto-Indo-European ancestry of the Greeks, the complex history of ancient migrations and cultural interactions in the region makes it difficult to attribute the Greek population exclusively to a single ancestral group.

Civilization around the Black Sea region has a long and rich history, dating back thousands of years. The area has been inhabited by various cultures and civilizations since ancient times. The earliest evidence of human habitation in the region can be traced back to the Paleolithic era, around 45,000 to 12,000 years ago.

In terms of more complex civilizations, one of the notable early cultures in the region was the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture, which flourished from approximately 5500 to 2750 BCE. This Neolithic culture was known for its advanced agriculture, pottery, and sizable settlements.

Moving forward in time, the Black Sea region saw the rise and fall of various ancient civilizations. The ancient Greeks established numerous colonies along the coast of the Black Sea from the 8th century BCE onward, fostering trade and cultural exchange in the region.

In the classical period, the region became a melting pot of cultures, with the influence of Greek, Persian, Scythian, Thracian, and later Roman civilizations shaping its history. The Bosporan Kingdom, centered in present-day Crimea, emerged as a Hellenistic state in the 5th century BCE, lasting until the 4th century CE.

During the medieval era, the Black Sea region witnessed the presence of Byzantine, Bulgarian, and Khazar empires, among others. The rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 14th century brought significant changes to the region, with the Ottoman dominance lasting until the early 20th century.

Given this rich and diverse historical backdrop, civilization in the Black Sea region spans several millennia, with different cultures and civilizations leaving their mark on the region's heritage.

This sounds a lot like the Sophianic myth as reconstructed by the great scholar John Lamb Lash. However, I would have to disagree with the idea that Pelagians influenced later Vedic beliefs because in Vaastu Shastra (which is like Feng Shui) the Northwest direction is seen as unlucky (which is the direction the Aryans would have come from if that theory was true). Also, Koenraad Elst demonstrated how Proto Indo European is similar to Tibetan which would make no sense if the Aryans came from outside of India. Just some thoughts.

“Oldest in the world” is a bit myopic. Maybe one of the oldest but “oldest” is the kind of stretch that would make Reed Richards blush.

The Nile Valley/Egyptian creation myths and the Australian Dreamtime myth and some Native American Creation myths are just as old not to mention the Meso American or Andean myths, who knows how long those stories were told before Christianity. Can we with certainty tell how old the Creation stories of the Khoisan or the Niger Congo people are?

Many of these are very much neglected by modern YouTube channels which is understandable, but a bit of a shame. It would be nice to see you explore some of these topics.

Good video though, cool production and music and nice visuals. Keep up the good work

"The oldest version of Genesis"

It can't be the "oldest verion" when it is obviously a just weak corrupted copy of the original account found in Genesis.

Oldest known, would be better phrasing.
