Topic: Age of Migrations


  
  Roman Iron Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Iron Age ( 1 - 400) is the name that Swedish archaeologist Oscar Montelius gave to a part of the Iron Age in Scandinavia, Northern Germany and the Netherlands.
Therefore, the preceding part of the Iron Age is called the Pre-Roman Iron Age, which had grown out of the Nordic Bronze Age.
The age that followed the Roman Iron Age is called the Germanic Iron Age or the Age of Migrations.

 Encyclopedia: Age of Migrations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Scholars today hold that a great deal of the migration did not represent hostile invasion, but rather tribes taking the opportunity to enter and settle lands already thinly populated and weakly held by a divided Roman state whose economy was shrinking.
This became associated with 19th century German nationalism and the Eastern expansion of Germany ( Drang nach Osten, Urge to move East), and later contributed to the Nazi ideology of Lebensraum, or "living space", the theory that the Germans had a mission to expand their population beyond the national borders of Germany.
The last phase of the migrations saw the coming of the Hungarians to Turkey, for example) and comprised mainly temporary invasions.

 Hungary before the Magyars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Early Iron Age (700-500 BC), we still have no written sources.
Some scholars try to identify people later mentioned in the written sources -- Thracians east of the Tisza, and Illyrians (Pannonians) west of the Danube -- but this is highly speculative.
The Celts came from the west around 450 BC and expanded over the whole of present-day Hungary in the Late Iron Age.

 Ice Age
Human civilization is a direct consequence of the melt down of the Ice Age and flooding of the Mediterranean Basin.
The cause of the melt down of the Ice Age is still a matter of conjecture and discussion.
Following the melt down of the Ice Age, there was plenty or room left on the continent, and plenty of game, to support the few humans who were living in North America.

 Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beginning in 1926 when a cowboy discovered a mammoth skeleton with a spear-point in its ribs near Folsom, New Mexico, archeologists have focused on the theory that Ice Age migrations across Beringia and the Bering Strait approximately 9,000 to 12,000 years ago settled the Americas.
The general belief was no trans-oceanic voyages to the Americas could have occurred before the age of European exploration, which culminated in Christopher Columbus 's voyage of 1492.
The 19th century saw the spread of several "lost continent" theories such as the Atlantis of Rosicrucians and Theosophists, and James Churchward 's proposals of Mu and Lemuria.

A mtDNA analysis of Nile River Valley populations concludes that these migrations probably occurred within the past few hundred to few thousand years and that the migration from north to south was either earlier or lesser in the extent of gene flow than the migration from south to north.

The biggest migration took place from 1480-1481, when a large part of the population of northern Serbia moved to Hungary and Transylvania, to bordering region along the Sava and Danube rivers, where the descendants of the fleeing despots of Smederevo resisted the Turks for several decades to come.
