Did Europe devolve from indigenous ways?

What happened to Indigenous Europeans?

Figurine of West's Mother Goddess

(Claudia Ayuso) Oct. 30, 2025: There’s an unknown chapter of European history that’s no longer told in our books. [The gatekeepers removed it so that no one would know.]

Research suggests that thousands of years ago [in prehistory] — long before recorded history — the Indigenous peoples of Europe built unique, rich cultures. But then something changed — dramatically. Out of that shift emerged the Europe we know today: patriarchy, biblical genocide, violence, sexism, empires, kings, and bloody conquest — a legacy of settler colonialism that shaped today's world.

So what happened? Have traces of that earlier world survived?

Marija Gimbutas or Marija Birutė Alseikaitė-Gimbutienė (1921–1994) was a Lithuanian archaeologist and anthropologist known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of "Old Europe" and for her Kurgan hypothesis, which located the Proto-Indo-European homeland in the Pontic Steppe.

Irish pro-Palestine activists embrace ‘Paddystinian’ term as badge of honor

(Ireland Correspondent Rory Carroll, The Guardian, May 25, 2025)

Irish Lex (@wanderrlex,Instagram)

Believed to have originated as an insult by [Jewish Zionist] Israel supporters, neologism is now used to campaign against war in Gaza.

The term was coined to disparage Ireland’s solidarity with Palestine but has been adopted as a badge of honor that now adorns T-shirts, hoodies, pins, and social media bios: Welcome to Paddystine, home of the Paddystinians.

Irish activists have embraced the neologism as a galvanizing term to campaign against Zionist Israel’s war on Gaza and to pressure the Irish government to do more to [intervene to] end the conflict.

Kneecap dares to annoy UK Zionists

The belief that it was originally intended as an insult by Israel supporters has fueled its spread on TikTok and other platforms where Irish people proclaim themselves “Paddystinians” and also, in a repurposing of the old-fashioned female name Biddy, “Biddystinians.”

“It was being used as a negative,” Ross McGann, who has nearly 40,000 followers on TikTok, said this week. “Once I heard that I thought: ‘Nah, we can flip this around.’ It’s a very Irish thing to do – you take an insult and you flip it back.” More

Chicano English in Context by linguist Carmen Fought is the first modern, comprehensive study of Chicano English, a variety of English (mingling with Spanish) spoken by millions of Latinos/Latinas/Hispanics in the U.S. It is also one of the first studies of ongoing sound change within an ethnic minority community. It briefly describes the phonology, syntax, and semantics of this variety and explores its crucial role in the construction of ethnic identity among young Latinas/Latinx. It also corrects misconceptions in how the general public views Chicano English. Chicano English in Context

Isolated group in Colombia found with no modern human relatives

There were many kinds of humans.

Deep in Colombia’s highlands, scientists have uncovered a mysterious ancient population unlike any group known today. Around 6,000 years ago, this population lived near the Bogotá Altiplano, a high plateau that served as a critical corridor for early migration between North and South America.

Are humanoid groups still landing on Earth?

This discovery is remarkable because their genetic makeup does not match any known modern human populations. [Like the Basque in Spain?]

For decades, researchers believed the peopling of South America followed two main genetic lineages, but this newly identified group represents an entirely unknown branch of humanity.

Their DNA reveals a lineage that vanished without leaving any genetic descendants in present-day populations.

This finding challenges long-held assumptions about human migration and diversity in the Americas. It opens a new window into the complex history of human settlement on the continent, inviting us to rethink the story of our ancient ancestors and their paths. Isolated group in Colombia found with no modern human relatives (TimelessTalesHQ.com)

History of Afghan Bamiyan Buddhas

The History of Afghanistan's Bamiyan Buddhas

Redhaired giants surviving in nearby Kandahar

The two colossal Bamiyan Buddhas stood as arguably the most important archeological site in Afghanistan for well over 1,000 years. They were the largest standing Buddha figures in the world.

Then, in a matter of days in the spring of 2001, members of the Taliban [urged on by the CIA and Pakistan's ISI] destroyed the images carved into a cliff face in the Bamiyan Valley. What comes next for Bamiyan?

• Buddhism in Afghanistan (Gandhara)

Big man stands at foot of statue

The smaller Buddha stood about 125 feet (38 meters) tall. It is thought to have been carved from the mountainside around 550 CE, according to radiocarbon dating [of organic matter, which seems very unreliable and based on the assumption that any portion of it is when it was all built].

To the east, the larger Buddha stood some 180 feet (55 meters) high, and was [thought to have been] carved a bit later, likely around 615 CE.

Each Buddha stood in a niche, attached to the back wall along their robes, but with free-standing feet and legs so pilgrims could circumambulate them.

Gandhara Greco-Buddhist art

The stone cores of the statues were originally covered with clay then with a brightly covered clay slip. When the region was actively Buddhist [by the Hazara tribe and earlier the Scythians/Indo-Sakas/Shakyians], visitors' reports suggest that at least the smaller Buddha was decorated with gemstones and enough bronze plating to make it seem as if it were made entirely of bronze or gold, rather than stone and clay.

Both faces were likely rendered in clay attached to wooden scaffolding; the blank, featureless stone core underneath was all that remained by the 19th century, giving the Bamiyan Buddhas an unsettling appearance to foreign travelers who encountered them.

The Buddhas appear to have been the work of the Gandhara civilization, showing some Greco-Roman artistic influence in the clinging drape of the [toga like] monastic robes.

Small cave niches around the statues hosted pilgrims and monastics; many of them feature brightly-painted wall and ceiling oil painted art, illustrating scenes from the life and teachings of the historical Buddha.

In addition to the two tall standing figures, numerous smaller seated Buddhas are carved into the cliff.

In 2008, archeologists rediscovered a buried reclining Buddha figure, 62 feet (19 meters) long, at the foot of the mountainside.

• Cultural landscape and archaeological remains of the Bamiyan Valley (UNESCO World Heritage Centre)
• PHOTO GALLERY (UNESCO World Heritage Centre)

The Bamiyan region remained predominantly Buddhist up until the 9th century. Islam gradually displaced Buddhism in the area because it offered easier trading relations with surrounding Muslim states.

Hazaras relocated to Pakistan

In 1221, Genghis Khan invaded the Bamiyan Valley, wiping out the population, but leaving the Buddhas undamaged. Genetic testing confirms that the Hazara people who now live in Bamiyan are descended from the Mongols.

Most Muslim rulers and travelers in the area either expressed wonder at the statues or paid them little heed. For example, Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, passed through the Bamiyan Valley in 1506-7 but did not even mention the Buddhas in his journal.

Band-e Amir National Park, Afghanistan (Wiki)

The later Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (r. 1658-1707) reportedly tried to destroy the Buddhas using artillery; he was famously conservative, and even banned music during his reign, in a foreshadowing of Taliban rule. Aurangzeb's reaction was the exception, however, not the rule among Muslim observers of the Bamiyan Buddhas. More
