About to fly. However what period of Phrygia are you connecting with what period of Frisia. When are they respectively called these names, and what were they before?

Christians are falling for this..... (full video in bio)

Since Herodotus is never wrong. Of the Thracians he says that living by war and raiding is the most honored occupation, and immediately afterward says they worship Ares, Dionysus and Artemis. (boy does that fucking sound familiar) “Ares” here is Greek religious translation, so the important datum is that Greek observers are encountering a Thracian martial cult complex and putting ARES over it. perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/tex… Now move northwest into the Celtic sphere and there is a really useful comparison: the Gaesatae. Their name is generally derived from Celtic gaisos, “spear/javelin,” hence roughly “spearmen.” They were mobile Gallic warrior/mercenary groups rather than a straightforward territorial ethnic population. academic.oup.com/book/50042/… Weapon plus warrior specialization plus war-band name plus outsiders treating it almost ethnically. And then Germani enters the record in exactly the messy Celtic/Rhine interface where you'd expect that mechanism to operate. Gaulish/Celtic route: gairm/garman → shout, cry, battle-cry → something approaching “the shouters.” Germanic reinterpretation/route: ger/gar → spear + mann → “spear-men.” Neither is established as the definitive etymology, but both independently land in the same semantic territory. A specialist study by Alexander Tscherniak goes further and argues that Celts used Germani for Germanic-speaking mercenaries from beyond the Rhine and that Tacitus' source may preserve awareness of Germani as an old war-cry. bop.unibe.ch/Hyperboreus/art… And Tacitus himself gives us the most important clue about why the name spread. He says Germania was a recent name; the people now called Tungri had formerly been called Germani, and the name spread from this victorious group to others “ob metum”, through/in order to create fear. In other words: One victorious Rhine-crossing group acquired/had this name, the name carried military prestige/terror, it expanded into a much larger category.

The entire historical picture of the North Sea sphere is wrong for the Bronze Age. The caste system is egalitarianism/community based. Frisian = Merchant Fir Bolg = Miner Viking = Raider Notice how they're all profession based? All have shit in common with Thrace. xitter.cf/Nnefariousjack/status/…
