Yamnaya: Faces of the Indo-Europeans

The Yamnaya culture, also called the Kurgan or Late Ochre Grave culture, of the late Neolithic and Bronze age Pontic steppe is believed to belong to one of several Proto-Indo-European speaking Western Steppe herder peoples who were ancestral to many modern peoples and who spread Indo-European languages across Eurasia. But what did Yamnaya look like? In this documentary film you can see 3D forensic facial reconstructions of Yamnaya men by the artist Robert Molyneaux and you can learn all about what Yamnaya people ate, why they loved milk, how they lived, their burial customs, how they spread and more. 20% off coupon: Jive20 Gthic: This channel depends on your support: Patreon: SubscribeStar: Telegram: Crypto: See academic sources and artwork on the blog: Artists: Robert Molyneaux Christian Sloan Hall Graman Valentyn Kolontai Roy Douglas Map animation by Meta-sight Bronze age map by Dan Kogosov Cartography Article about Yamnaya in WhyNow magazine: Music in order: Xurios - Steppe expansion Altyn Tuu - Altai throat singing Gargoyle - dance with me The Whole Other - Ether Oar Patrick Patrikios - Away doug maxwell - tribal war council Bark sound productions - in return kevin macleod - Master of the feast Aethelruna - Output Saba Murachashvili - Acharuli Chris Zabriskie - The Theatrical Poster for Poltergeist III Borg - The Dancing Forest Khan Kurra - Little dragon Chris Zabriskie - I Am Running Down the Long Hallway of Viewmont Elementary 00:00 Intro 01:01 Who are the Yamnaya? 02:29 Stelae 03:27 Kurgans 05:16 pre-Yamnaya steppe people 05:46 Yamnaya skull types 06:03 Yamnaya expansion 08:16 Yamnaya phenotype 11:17 Facial reconstructions 13:42 Who has Yamnaya ancestry? 14:29 Warlike people 15:28 GTHIC sponsor 15:58 healthy lads 16:35 Milk drinkers 18:58 Yamnaya diet 20:30 plague 22:04 wagons, wheels, horses 26:27 Outram on horses 28:38 horse sacrifice 29:42 deforestation 31:44 R1b Haplogroup 33:30 Yamnaya women 34:57 the CHG question 42:16 Conclusion
