Russia seems to be what remains of Tartaria: Who are Russians/Tartars?
After the Mud Flood, few believe there ever was a Tartaria inhabited by Tartars (remnants Tatars of the ancient empire of Great TARTARIA) who ate raw meat, steak tartare, a kind of pastrami (pastirma), after which was named a famous sauce and dish, so where is Udmurtia?
The Empire of Tartaria is seen on maps, or what remained of it after the Mud Flood.

What and where is Udmurtia?

This hat design is great for Gingers in the sun.
UDMURTIA is officially the Udmurt Republic of Russia located in Eastern Europe. It is administratively part of the Volga Federal District. Its capital is the City of Izhevsk. It was established as the Udmurt (until 1931 Votskaya) Autonomous Region on Nov. 4, 1920 [11].
THE NAME UDMURT comes from odo-mort ("meadow people"), where the first part represents the Permic root od or odo ("meadow, glade, turf, greenery"). This is supported by a document dated 1557, in which the Udmurts [12] are referred to as lugovye lyudi ("meadow people"), alongside the traditional Russian name otyaki [13]. The second part murt means "person" (cf. Komi mort, Mari mari).
It is probably an early borrowing from a Scythian language: mertΓ€ or martiya ("person, man," Sanskrit Manus or Manushya), which is thought to have been borrowed from the Indo-Aryan term maryΓ‘- ("man, mortal, one who is bound to die," cf. Old Indic mΓ‘rya or "young warrior," and marut, "chariot warrior," both connected specifically with horses and chariots [14].
The Indo-Europeanists T. Gamkrelidze and V. Ivanov associate this word with horse-riding Altaic tribes in the Bronze Age [15, 16].
On the other hand, in the Russian tradition, the name "meadow people" refers to the inhabitants of the left bank of a particular river. Recently, the most relevant is the version of V. V. Napolskikh and S. K. Belykh. They suppose that ethnonym was borrowed either from Indo-Iranian anta or "outside, close, last, edge, limit, boundary," or the Turkic-Altaic anda/ant "oath (in fidelity), comrade, friend" [17].
HISTORY started on Nov. 4, 1920, when the Votyak Autonomous Oblast was formed [3]. On Jan. 1, 1932, it was renamed the Udmurt Autonomous Oblast [18], which was then reorganized into the Udmurt ASSR on Dec. 28, 1934 [3].
During World War II, many industrial factories were evacuated from the Ukrainian SSR and western borderlands to Udmurtia. On Oct. 11, 1991, the Supreme Council of the Udmurt ASSR adopted a law according to which the Udmurt ASSR acquired a new name — the Udmurt Republic [19]. More: Udmurtia

Horrific Canaanite Gods: Ancient Religion Explained
(Tony4You) The old gods of the semitic religions have always been fascinating because of their brutality and disturbing practices. It seemed like all of ancient Israel's neighbors left a lot to be desired.
Devils worshipped as gods
From human sacrifice to much more sensual duties of the priestesses (like temple prostitution), the surrounding blasphemous lands had a lot to learn from.
The dark deity Moloch, god of sacrifice and tyranny, whose rituals led to the deaths of thousands across history from the region of Carthage.
Asherah, wife of El (God or gods) and the goddess of fertility and holy spaces, also potentially the wife of Yahweh (YHWH) himself and exploiter of all that makes love pure.

12:33 Outro
This is somewhat of a departure from the average Tony4you video as it does not have anything to do with video games, but the hope is the lore, history, and ancient knowledge gathered in this video will be entertaining all the same.
Biblical stories have always been fascinating and the savage Old Testament depictions of weird angels and vile demons are one subject some never tire of researching.
(MV) Canaanites were Israelites. There was no Exodus w/Dr. Joel Baden
From the most horrible of demons worshipped as gods to the temptation and downfall of even the most mighty and holy of men, Bible stories explained through the knowledge we can put together throughout history might change someone's life.
Ancient Israel and ancient Canaan have a lot to learn from each other after all. Every culture has its own take on angels, demons, spirits, and ghosts.
From across the plane(t) these spiritual entities cover every topic and domain one could possibly think of. Of all of the cultures one can study, however, there is one that stands out as particularly ugly, brutal, debased, and horrific: Israel and the ancient Canaanites of around 200 BC.
They had many stories told of them throughout historical and religious texts. They range greatly in their topic, but what all records of these people tell of is the unmatched horror of their gods and religion.
From carnal depravity to child sacrifice, the gods and people of the region were a waking nightmare for all to see.
Let’s go over just a few of this region's polytheistic gods that struck fear and reverence in all who witnessed their horrible rituals to the horrific gods of Canaan.

U.S. Army Major General Smedley Darlington Butler's expose of American corporate imperialism. Maj. Gen. Butler said, "I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of the racket all the time. Now I am sure of it."
(TeleSUR English) In a rare, candid conversation, Abby Martin interviews a former Israeli Army combat soldier who served as an occupier in Palestine’s Hebron City.
Eran Efrati spent years as a sergeant and combat soldier in the Israeli military, but he has since become an outspoken critic of the occupation of Palestine, Israeli apartheid, and its settler colonialism.
Efrati gives explosive testimony on the reality of his service and explains how war crimes are institutionalized, as well as how systematic the oppression against Palestinians really is in a war of conquest that will no doubt be accelerated under the Trump administration [with nepotistic Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner being made "director" of the newly made-up and subsequently abolished Office of American Innovation in charge of the Israeli situation for Pres. Trump under his long-time friend, groomer, and corrupt right-wing dictator PM Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu].

I just want us to celebrate Lupercalia the traditional way, Dakota. - OK, Christian, okay.

I'm down to be whipped.
"Be my bloody Valentine's," we say. What is the origin of Valentine's Day? It's the worship of wolves and purification by whipping called Lupercalia.
(TDS) Valentine's Day marks the "season of love" and courtship, but its ancient roots in the Roman festival of Lupercalia reveal a bloodier and wilder history.
It is no coincidence that across different cultures and religions there are festivals and holy days (or "holidays" as we now call them) that fall around similar dates.
Valentine's Day spanking? No, thanks.
Whether it be Samhain (pronounced \sao-win\) and Halloween, Yule and Christmas, or Lupercalia and St. Valentine's Day, a lineage of tradition can be traced back to these specific times of year.
Taking a look at the festivities of our ancient human ancestors tends to reveal the cultural twists and turns we have taken over the years and allows us to inspect our own modern traditions to see their irrationalities and idiosyncrasies more clearly. More
This was a pastoral festival that Ancient Rome observed annually on February 15th to purify the city, promoting health and fertility [1].
Lupercalia was also known as dies Februatus, after the "purification instruments" called februa, the reason for calling this month Februarius.

The worship of wolves and wolfmen/dogmen?
The festival was originally known as Februa ("Purifications" or "Purgings") after all the februum used on this day [2].
It was also known as Februatus and gave its name variously as an epithet to Juno Februalis, Februlis, or Februata in her role as patron deity of the month to a supposed purification deity called Februus [3], and to February (mensis Februarius), the month during which the festival occurred [2].
Women of Rome shrink back as men use purification whips to purge them (Museo del Prado)
Ovid connects februare to an Etruscan word for "purging" [4]. The name Lupercalia was believed in antiquity to evince some connection with the Ancient Greek festival of the Arcadian Lykaia, or wolf [and wolfman] festival (Greek Ξ»ΟΞΊΞΏΟ, lΓ½kos, Latin lupus), and the worship of Lycaean Pan, assumed to be a Greek equivalent to Faunus, as instituted by Evander [5].
Justin describes a cult image of "the Lycaean god, whom the Greeks call Pan and the Romans Lupercus," as nude except for a modest goatskin girdle [6]. Rome founded thanks to a she-wolf
Spank, OK, but whips and chains? I ain't Rihanna
The statue stood in the Lupercal, the cave where tradition held that Romulus and Remus were suckled by the she-wolf (Lupa). The cave lay at the foot of the Palatine Hill, on which Romulus was thought to have founded Rome [7].
The name of the festival most likely derives from lupus, "wolf," though both the etymology (the study of a word's origins) and its significance are obscure.
Despite Justin's assertion, no deity named "Lupercus" has ever been identified [8]. But the whipping of women in the public square is still on. Line up, ladies. More
Now I'm "pure." I've been put through my paces. Thank goodness for Ancient Roman BDSM.
The Festival of Lupercalia
(Sir Talkalot Doolittle) Feb. 10, 2023. The name of the last month of the old Roman year is derived from the word februum, usually understood as an "instrument of purification." This word and its derivatives were best known in connection with the Lupercalia, the most prominent of the festivals of the month.
There is hardly another festival on the Roman calendar so interesting and so well known as Lupercalia. Owing to the singular interest attaching to its celebration in BC 44, a month before Emperor Caesar’s death, we are unusually well informed as to its details. But these details present great difficulties in interpretation, which the latest research has not altogether overcome. Women were whipped, and men gathered at Lupercal, the Cave of Lupa the she-wolf, where the founding of Rome took place in its origin tale.
Yum, that was good. We're going to live to be 185 by killing and eating the dead? - Ya'think?
The 5 Foods to Never Eat Again After Watching This | Dave Asprey
(Tom Bilyeu) Nov. 1, 2022. On today's episode:
What are we basing our diet choices on? With the abundance of information available, there is no shortage of diet camps to choose from.
So humans have to kill to live?
Whether we have decided on being compassionate vegan or self-deluded carnivores (convincing ourselves that killing animals is the nice and moral thing to do for them, y'know, so they won't suffer so much), vegetarian, raw, or decided to lovingly follow a plant-based diet, maybe a pegan (paleo-vegan), to support being more humane to all animals, how is our decision impacting our health and that of the environment?
Please let me live, Dave.
Dave Asprey, “the father of biohacking” and founder of the Bulletproof Diet and Upgrade Labs, has been digging into the research and data determined to live a normal human life of 185 years. He’s already reversed his biological age by 11 years, and in this episode he’s laying out mind-blowing ways to biohack our way to better health with less time and effort in the gym and why following a plant-based, vegan diet may not be as kind and friendly to the planet as we’re led to believe.
I was born with three hearts to love better.
There are many ways to achieve optimal health, the question is which one is best for us? This episode is about covering our bases and knowing what areas are more meaningful for us to look into and consider. It's controversial, and Dave Asprey is wrong in some key ways, but in other ways he has a point. It just goes to proves, the mind can convince itself of anything once we set our heart on it -- even killing and calling it good.

The Vagina Museum is in a very good mood today, as they're celebrating receiving a quim-credible 90,000 visitors since it opened its exhibition in November 2019.
They're absolutely blown away by the warm welcome they've received so far. And better still, they've got some bloody thrilling news to share!
Their wildly popular Muff Busters exhibition will close on March 29th and here's what's coming next. Drumroll please. The new exhibition is Periods: A Brief History.
Almost half the world’s population menstruates at some point in their lives, yet there is a veil of shame and stigma that surrounds periods. The shame-based taboo surrounding periods is not a recent phenomenon. It has been perpetuated throughout history.
This exhibition looks at historic perceptions and beliefs around menstruation and the impact this has had on society from ancient Greece to present-day Hollywood, looking at how menstrual perception has impacted culture, religion, and society’s lack of understanding as to what a menstrual bleed actually is.
We built this museum.
What did people use as menstrual products before the invention of tampons and pads? What beliefs contributed to period shaming?
What can we learn to break the taboo? Is it possible to have an environmentally sustainable period? Periods: A Brief History gives visitors a whirlwind trip through time, shining a spotlight on menstruation, its perception, and what issues we face around periods today.
Periods: A Brief History opens on 4th April 2020. The exhibition is sponsored by The Body Shop.
The Vagina Museum is truly in awe of the wave of positivity it's received since opening Muff Busters: Vagina Myths and How to Fight Them. They can't believe it's only been 13 weeks for 90,000 people to come inside! Whether you've managed to visit or are still planning a trip, it's truly grateful for your support and interest. The world needs a Vagina Museum. The numbers show it. The feedback received shows it. They're incredibly proud of what they've achieved so far on a shoestring budget.
But this museum of minges needs help from its friends. It's currently raising funds to match the world-changing £50,000 it crowdfunded last year to open. Money from its Winter Appeal helps towards running costs and keeping the Vagina Museum free for anyone to visit and celebrate all things muff. It wants to get bigger and better so it can meet the rising demand for a museum. The Winter Appeal runs until March 21st. It is truly grateful for any gift anyone chooses to make. Support makes a big difference.
