Holla Forums will never want to admit this, but it's 100% true. Look at the facts:
- Agriculture started in the Near East and the Caucasus and was later spread to Europe by migrations during the neolithic period. Native European hunter-gatherers never managed to develop agriculture on their own.
- The latter Indo-Europeans immigrants of the corded ware culture mostly contributed with their language only. Neolithic Europe already had highly advanced civilizations like the Minoans and the Etruscans who are thought to have founded the Roman Empire were directly descended from a neolithic population who didn't speak Indo-European languages.
- Mesopotamia, Egypt, Minoans, Ancient Greece and Rome were all Mediterranean civilizations who were mostly descended from these same neolithic populations.
- After the western Roman Empire fell due to internal conflicts and Germanic invasions, it's eastern side called "Byzantine Empire" remained the wealthiest and most developed region in Europe for a long time.
- When the Byzantine Empire became weakened due to the events resultant of the fourth crusade, they were substituted by the Italian city-states. By the 13th century, northern and central Italy had become the most literate, numerate and urbanized societies in the world and the wealthiest and most developed part of Europe.
- The culmination of the high level of development and the migration of the intellectual Byzantine refugees who didn't want to live under Turkish rule after the fall of Constantinople resulted in the Italian Renaissance, which rediscovered much of the lost technology and knowledge of the Greeks and Romans and made many advancements to art and science based on it.
- Advancements in navigation, cartography and geography made it possible for Italians, Spaniards and Portuguese to combine all of their efforts and make the first major discovery of the Americas. "America" is named after an Italian called "Amerigo Vespucci". Other people like the vikings had already landed in America before but they didn't make a major discovery since nobody was aware of it until recently.
- The Italian city-states would still remain as great contributors to European art, science, music and literature even though they weren't as influential as before.
- While modern Italy is not nearly as impressive as it was in ancient times or the Renaissance due to economic troubles caused by the Napoleonic wars, the Italian unification and not being able to adapt fast enough to the industrial revolution, it is not completely devoid of contributions. The first nuclear reactor, the Personal Computer you use today, microship, radio, telephone, induction motor, internal combustion engine, moplen plastic, electric battery, modern helicopter and modern population genetics are all modern Italian inventions for example. Italy also publishes a decent number of scientific papers per year: scimagojr.com
Face it, Holla Forums, "Germanic dominance" is a fairly recent page of history that only started to happen after the Age of Enlightenment (there were still a lot of Italian intellectuals during that period though) and it pales in comparison to Mediterranean achievement across history. It's not even real dominance, because you admit it yourself that Jews control the western world. Jews are a Mediterranean people too and their main ancestry is Italian: italianthro.blogspot.com
All in all, Sergi's theories weren't too far off from reality compared to Nordicism which is total "WE WUZ" tier. The claim that the Greeks and Romans were Nordic is ridiculous and on par with the claim that the ancient Egyptians were niggers. Mediterranean people are indeed all significantly related to each other due to the connection during the neolithic. Southern Europeans have the highest amount of neolithic farmer admixture and had a head start in civilization due to this compared to other Europeans which have much less: en.wikipedia.org
