Topic: Pre-Christian Poland? Posted: 12-Jan-2005 at 19:49 |

Thats depends what do you mean by asking if we are Slavs or not. We use western slavic language and we come from the slavic people who were named Polanie. But we dont feel (so far i know most of us) to be part of any great slavic family together with Russian's , Serbs, Croats or Bulgars. Most of us dont feel any love or great relationship to other so called slavic nations. We are Poles and panslavic ideologies we consider as sick and nasty. Our culture is unique and different than russian or yugoslavian. The most close to us are other nations which use western slavic languages: Czechs and Slovaks, but even with them we dont feel much relationship.

I asked you because your language has many similar words as our and I know that motherland of the slavs is on the area of today's Poland. I understand your feeling (we have the same against most of them ) against some of others slavs nations but what we (Bulgarians) have done to you to hate us? We have never waged a war!

Tzar, who said Poles hate Bulgars?. In case of your history there's no problem to recover following waves of tribes dwelled in your country through the ages; the Thracians, Scytians, Romans, Sclaveni, and 10000 Bulgars.
In case of Poland its territory was homeland for many cultures mostly of Celtic and Germanic origin. Then there had been an empty place before Sclaveni settled there. We still don't know our background. But we share similar language with you and this is the point of being Sclavic.

there's no change; if a person changes his mind on his ethnicity so fast he wasn't what he said he was in the first place...saying Poland is self centered means you dont know much about it... no offence or anything

I dont think there's one sure origin of the slavs, we are an indo-european peoples, there's alot of different theories, at least I think so, otherwise IMa s confused as you. some ppl believe that the original home of slavs was the area of kazakhstan, others around carpathians and Dniepr. I myself do not know the origin of the slavs 100%. Some even believe there to be a Sarmatian link tot he slavs being that the Chroatians take there name from a place around the caucasus and are believed to be a sarmatian tribe like the Alani, who settled aroudn the are of Poland-Ukraine. Some Serbian said once that since greeks mispronounce some names he says the sarmatian can acctually be Serbatos or something can't remember, I got the link somewhere if i find it I'll leave the link at the end. And supposedly the Chroatians and Serbs first settled around the are of Poland. Serbs(sorbs) in germany-Poland, and Chroatians making a state called Chrobatia settled around the ae of Krakow making it its capital. then heraclius called these tribes for help, and thats how the whole schism happened the avars got in there. Youc may also look at some legends of Lech, Czech and Rus, where it sais that these three brothers came from the Kroatskie Hills. Bascially a lot of migration going on, talkin about it gives me a headache...im going ot go srest now...

It was spoken here, that slavs were originally from somewhere jusat a little north of Caspian Sea, and those places, while the Finno-Ugric ethnic group is a little bit from upwards, so I think it goes about like this.
East Slavs: Russians Lipovan Russians Ukrainians Rusyns (Ruthenes) Belarusians Poleszuks (transitional between Ukrainians and Belarussians)
West Slavs: Poles Mazurians Silesians Warmiaks Pomeranians Czechs Moravians Slovaks Sorbs (Lusatians, Serb-Lusatians)
South Slavs: Bulgarians Muslim Bulgarians Macedonians Bosniaks Croats Molise Croats Serbs Montenegrins Slovenians Karantanians (Proto-Slovenes)
and so on.. this isn't the full table, but it is from the Wikipedia article i read few weeks ago...
1.the autochthonic theory assumes that Slavs had lived north of the Carpathian Mountains since 1000 BC. 2.the allochthonic theory assumes that the Slavs came there in the 5th or 6th century AD

Originally Slavs were considered only one of all the tribes which were Venetii, Slavs and Antae. Altough all those groups are called Slavs.
Slavs were those who today are living in balkans, Venetii were those who are called western Slavs (also Wends, Vinds, Venedi) and Antae - eastern slavs. There are 2 theories about original home of the Slavs. One says that it was in the area of Danube where from they spreaded northeast to the Volga river and Caspian sea. The second theory says that original home of slavs was between rivers Vistula and Dnieper where from they spreaded to sought, west and east.

Recently discovered genetic evidence indicates that the Slavs had their origins in the ancient nomadic steppe peoples. This pretty much lends credence to what Sarmata said. The genetic marker in question is called Eu19, and it is found mostly among the Slavs and some peoples of the Indian Subcontinent and Central Asia. It is also found to a lesser degree among other European peoples like Germans, Scandinavians, and British.
BTW, as was mentioned earlier, the pre-Christian gods of the Slavs resembled those of the ancient Indo-Iranians. In fact, some where almost identical, with similar names.
I would say that the map with the arrows posted by Rider is probably a fairly accurate portrayal of the original migration routes of the Slavs.
