WHO WERE THE PRUSAI ? So far science has not been able to provide answers to this question, but it does not mean that we should not begin to put forward hypotheses and give rise to a constructive resolution of this puzzle. Great help in determining the ethnic origin of Prusai people comes from a new branch of science - genetics. Heraldically known descendants of the Prusai, and persons unaware of their Prusai ethnic roots, were subject to the genetic test, thus provided a knowledge of the genetics of their people. In conjunction with the historical knowledge, this enabled to be made a conclusive finding and indicated the territory that was inhabited by them. The number of tests must be made in much greater number in order to eliminate errors. Archaeological research and its findings also help to solve this question, make our knowledge complemented and compared with other regions in order to gain knowledge of Prusia, where they came from and who they were. Prusian people provinces POMESANIA and POGESANIA The genetic test done by persons with their Pomesanian origin provided results indicating the Haplogroup R1b1b2a1b and described as the Atlantic Group or Italo-Celtic. The largest number of the people from this group, today found between the Irish and Scottish Celts. Genetic age of this haplogroup is older than that of the Celt’s genetics, therefore also defined as a proto Celtic. 1 The Pomerania, Poland’s Baltic coast, was inhabited by Gothic people called Gothiscanza. Their chronicler Cassiodor tells that they were there from 1940 year B.C. Around the IV century A.D. its inhabitants, the Ostrogoths, migrated leaving behind at the upper-left side of the river Vistula, its delta, the splinter group Gepedoios, inhabitants of Pomesania and Pogesania. In the V century after the death of Attyla, it was Gepedoios who defeated Huns. One asks the question, where was the seat of the Gepids and whether they were the Ostrogoths. Was there a division between the Gepids and Goths, and finally did they intermarry with other Prusian ethnos. At the beginning of the I century BC along the coast of the lagoon mixed ethnos is known named Widivarians. Sources indicate that this region structurally was subordinated to Goths and most likely in respect of the amber trade this is true. Archaeological excavations in Pomesania and Pogesania territory, define people being under the influence of Wielbark culture. The language that they used largerly remains unknown, traces of their dialect is preserved in the Elbling dictionery. Further to that, if we move to the preface, to a mysterious map of Minor Asia 200 years B.C., and with the correspondence of Mrs. Julia Dimitrov,s perhaps be able to explain more. Mrs. Juliet Dimitrov work "Готи, сиреч Гети" unfortunately in the difficult Bulgarian language, explaining "Goths, is Getae" Ms. Dimitrov writes, "The term Gothiscanza" (Goths habitat) is in itself very long and problematic. This is a verbal-construction invented by scientists. Jordanes book to me is a very mystical and probably during the Middle Ages and the 30-year war changed in the interest of the winners in this terrible war - the Swedes. I believe that this number should not be taken literally because we do not know what really Cassiodor wrote in his prototype and what has been changed in the Middle Ages during the war. ( Jordanes has rewritten Casiodor work of VI c.) Whether the Goths were the ancestors of the Celts I can not say, I'm not an expert in this area, but I can say that the Celts were everywhere in Europe, also in the south. In Bulgaria, the Celts habitats found in the south of the country. But that's another topic. My studies are proving that the Goths they were descendants of the Thracian Getae. Just as the name in my book Goths, or Thracian Getae. Getae - one of the many nations in the ancient Thracian. Some of them migrated north in the days of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Pompey the later part of Trajan. The Bulgarian chronicle of the thirteenth century, it is written that Getae had emigrated at the time of Alexander, the Bithynien, from the city Prusias, many of them to Baltic countries and later in the third-fourth century returned to Thracia. In this chronicle, the Bulgarians are known as Mysians and it is an 2 area near Bythiniens on the map, which you sent me. This information is for the Bulgarian history. Ancient Bulgarians up to the 14th century were also called the Goths. It may sound for you strange and absurd, but it is true. Our history was 150 years ago, immediately after the liberation from the Turks, endlessly manipulated by the so-called victorious powers - Russia, Austrians, French and English. Because of this in the history books, we get to read that the Bulgarians were either "Turks" or "Slaven". The problem with the so-called "Slavs" (slaves) is also discussed in my book. And this is another politicized issue. I hope you believe me or not, I must say that the old Bulgarians-Getae have very much in common with people of Prussia and Lithuania. Old Bulgarians were called earlier Prusians, or Prusians from the Balkans. Of course I'm not talking about all Bulgarians, because at the time of history, many people have come here from different parts of the world. Tracologist during communism-socialism could not act impartially, but now prove the link between the old Thracian language, exist with Lithuanian and Prusian. A lot of place names and personal names hydronims can be combined with those of Thracians and the places in Prusia and Lithuania. I introduced these words in my book and dictionary words comparing the old Prusian with Bulgarian words. They have an amazing relationship. " Mrs. Julia continued, "I can only say that Samogetia (or also Samogitia) is the area where today Rusy - Russians are sitting. The name should be "Land der Geten, also der Gothen" - Country Geten, and so Gothen. Prusian historian of the seventeenth century, Mathäus Prätorius and Christoph Hartknoch wrote about it. The authors are very curious, but unfortunately Praetorius hidden from the Germans. His book on the history of Prusia was published in Vilnius, 1999, translated from German into Lithuanian. Lithuanians respect his work very much, and approved the Prusian minority in Lithuania. The recognition of the minority by the Lithuanians leads to big problems in Germany. According to Jordanes Gepedoios should be part of the Goths, but here is the story of a very uncertain-probably much changed. " "Goths in the time of Christ believed in Zamolxis and is described by Herodotus, and here too there is a combination of Gothic and Thracians through faith. In my book occurs a whole chapter on faith of Thracian Goths. Zamolxis is the god of eternal renewal of nature, god of the earth, re-birth and ancestry. Praetorius says that God is in female form, worshiped in Prusia and Lithuania, and is known as Zameluks or Zamjol. Of course, they were in the old Prusian, or rather, Prusa, other gods as Perkun and Swaistikos / probably Swiatowid and others. " "My book is only available in Bulgarian, but it is also planned in the German language. Unfortunately the English edition is not planned and it is dependent on the interest of the book. I hope that my information will help you. " 3 The below text coming from the English Atlas, published in 1680 Oxford . Among other things it says: "Johannes Annius Viterbiensis says that first they called the Prussians Pruti, from Prutusa, king of the Scythians, the grandson of Noah. This nation is derived from the ancient Scythians, and this is likely: the other stuff we can not say anything more, "while accusing the author of cunning and others also who say that the "Prussians come from Asia, are under the leadership of Prussian King of Bithynia ". 4 SAMBA, NATANGS, WARMS, BARTHS, NADROWIA, SKALVA Historically, together with the archeology the Prusai of those lands could be proved as the homogeneous and the oldest inhabitants in this part of Europe. The inhabitants of Sambia the most densely populated area, and adjacent territories to Skalva, Nadrowia, Natangia, Barths and Warmia were a proto Indo-Europeans with a genetic R1a1 Haplogroup. Looking at the below map from Wikipedia can be inferred that the missing Aesti (Sambs and the rest) are the Balto-Slavs people with the Sarmatian identity. Map Human trekking At the beginning of our times the ancient historians like Ptolemy in Geography, III - 5.1. "European Sarmatia bounded on the north by the Sarmatian Ocean (Baltic Sea) along the Veneds bay (Bay of Gdansk, Sinus Venedicus)" (Ibid., III-5.5): "Veneds Mountain (Οὐενεδικὰ ὄρη [4] / Venedici Montes)" (ibid., III-5.7-10): "great peoples inhabit Sarmatia: Weneds along the Gulf Venetic (Οὐενεδικὸν κόλπον) (. ..) The smaller the people sitting in Sarmatia Gythons near the river Vistula, below the Veneds (...) more to the east than those sitting below the Veneds: Galindians, Sudovians and Stawans till the Alans. Plinius the Elder (Naturalis Historia, IV-97): "Some say that these lands to the river Vistula inhabited by Sarmatians, Weneds, Scirs, Hirrs. "(Message of about 5, the N.E. ?) Aesti, Sambian-Sarmatians as the above news, could have arrived from the Black Sea between the eighth and fourth century BC. Smirnov Russian expert writes, Scythian and Celtic peoples occupy a place in the history of civilization, just as the Greeks and Romans. 5 According to Wikipedia, "The social Sarmatians organization was very similar to the Scythian. After a period of wars and conquests created a layer of the aristocracy, the representatives of which were buried in a richly endowed hillocks.
