SynopsisWhat made Europe unique? DNA tests show that only a few hardy, female-structured families survived the coldest episode of the Ice Age. Most Europeans are their descendants. Paleolithic females decided the marriage of their brothers, inheritance went to women and men were known by the name of their mothers. Ancient European women were pretty, sexy and aggressive. They had a surprisingly high status. Power came only through them. Paleolithic rituals originated modern theater. Mother Goddess? myths started classic and renaissance art. Many modern religious traditions keep some of their fertility cult rites. The book describes their societies and the clash against the invading Indo-European tribes that suppressed women's rights and dethroned them from their control of religious rituals. The still formidable influence of those mostly ignored, ancient societies has forged the European soul and originated the American traditions of freedom. It is deeply influencing the world. Basques, Celts, Etruscans, Pelasgians parade through these pages tied by their DNA, revealing a surprising world full of werewolves, snake-priestesses, witches and sex rituals., European travelers all around the world are familiar with the cultural shocks they suffer and produce. They also know what is usually the main difference with other cultures. It is the independent, self-assertive European woman that distinguishes the European culture from most others in the globe. Actually, it is not now that these women are more independent. They have not gained independence during the last millennia, but have almost completely lost it. European women were not merely independent in the past. They seem to have enjoyed a remarkable high status. They were practically in command. Some ten thousand years ago many tribes started to invade Europe from the East. They were the Aryans or Indo-Europeans. They brought with them their farming know-how and their languages-originating most of the tongues today spoken in the continent-French, German, Spanish, English, Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Romanian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and the Scandinavian and the Slavic tongues. The Aryans met a vast array of tribes in Europe-the Oldest Europeans-the descendants of a few female structured families that managed to survive the coldest episode of the Ice Age. They exhibited a notable cultural diversity. These Oldest Europeans had a most important and distinctive trait. It sharply separated them from the invading Indo-Europeans. It was what distinguished them-the only one common cultural mark among all the Oldest Europeans-their women. This book describes some of those Oldest European cultures. Also the cultural crash produced when they met the invading Indo-Europeans, who suppressed women's rights. All that has forged the European soul. It is deeply influencing the present world.
