Jag saknar en avdelning för Historia och Arkeologi...

Tja ... Jag kom inte in på facebook idag så jag skrev här i stället.
Därför engelskan...

Lets go to Samara!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samara,_Russia
// Samara is the sixth largest city in Russia. It is situated in the southeastern part of European Russia at the confluence of the Volga and Samara Rivers on the east bank of the Volga. Formerly a closed city, Samara is now a large and important social, political, economic, industrial, and cultural centre. It has a continental climate characterised by hot summers and cold winters.

The life of Samara's citizens has always been intrinsically linked to the Volga River, which has not only served as the main commercial thoroughfare of Russia throughout several centuries, but also has great visual appeal... Before 1586, the Samara Bend was a pirate nest.
Lookouts would spot an oncoming boat and quickly cross to the other side of the peninsula where the pirates would organize an attack.

Officially, Samara started with a fortress built in 1586 at the confluence of the Volga and Samara Rivers. This fortress was a frontier post protecting the then easternmost boundaries of Russia from forays of nomads. A local customs office was established in 1600.
The city gives its name to the Samara culture, a neolithic culture of the 5th millennium BC, at the Samara bend region of the middle Volga.//

// It was discovered during archaeological excavations in 1973 near the village of Syezzheye.The valley of the Samara river contains sites from subsequent cultures as well, which are descriptively termed "Samara cultures" or "Samara valley cultures". Some of these sites are currently under excavation. "The Samara culture" as a proper name, however, is reserved for the early neolithic of the region.

Samaran pottery consists mainly of egg-shaped beakers with pronounced rims. They were not able to stand on a flat surface, suggesting that some method of supporting or carrying must have been in use, perhaps basketry or slings, for which the rims would have been a useful point of support. The carrier slung the pots over the shoulder or onto an animal.

Decoration consists of circumferential motifs: lines, bands, zig-zags or wavy lines, incised, stabbed or impressed with a comb. These patterns are best understood when seen from the top. They appear then to be a solar motif, with the mouth of the pot as the sun. Later developments of this theme show that in fact the sun is being represented.

The culture is characterized by the remains of animal sacrifice, which occur over most of the sites. There is no indisputable evidence of riding, but there were horse burials, the earliest in the Old World. Typically the head and hooves of cattle, sheep, and horses are placed in shallow bowls over the human grave, smothered with ochre.

Graves are shallow pits for single individuals, but two or three individuals might be placed there. Some of the graves are covered with a stone cairn or a low earthen mound, the very first predecessor of the kurgan. The later, fully developed kurgan was a hill on which the deceased chief might ascend to the sky god, but whether these early mounds already had that significance is not clear.

Grave offerings included ornaments depicting horses. The graves also had an overburden of horse remains; it cannot yet be determined decisively if these horses were ridden or not, but they were certainly used as a meat-animal. Most controversial are bone plaques of horses or double oxen heads, which were pierced.

The graves yield well-made daggers of flint and bone, placed at the arm or head of the deceased, one in the grave of a small boy. Weapons in the graves of children are common later. Other weapons are bone spearheads and flint arrowheads. Other carved bone figurines and pendants were found in the graves.//

Cattle were domesticated in Anatolia and Horses on the Kazachstan steppes ...
WE SEE HERE AT SAMARA A MIXTURE OF FARMERS FROM ANATOLIA
AND HERDERS FROM THE STEPPES!

Apparantly the steppe people enslaved the farmers coming from Anatolia!
And the perhaps earliest European form of the Caste System developed?

Jag hittade en pågående folkutrotning!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g8O_Md05xI

Indien utrotar urbefolkningen på Andaman öarna...
Det är tydligen bara några hundratal kvar nu!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andaman_Islands

Jag är faktiskt lite upprörd!
Hur kan detta folkmord få pågå?
Varför protesterar ingen?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andamanese

Indien borde förmås att lämna över öarna till Förenta Nationerna!
INNAN URBEFOLKNINGEN ÄR HELT UTROTAD!
Det dröjer inte länge nu...
