Why did greeks depict themselves as nordics when todays greeks look like swarthy arabs?
>>2719982
Greeks today looked no different than the ancient Greeks. They were never Nordics, they were always tanned mediterraneans.
>inb4 ottomans
I'm really loving this meme of how a small population of people could easily the displace the genotypes and phenotypes of the much larger native population just because they managed to conquer them. There really wasn't much racemixing during the ottoman rule. Also people of Greece have mixing with the people of Anatolia since ancient times, so your notion that there used to be "pure" Nordic Greeks is false. Also Greeks are in the same genetic cluster as the rest of Europe while turkey is far from it
Nice try stormcuck

This dude doesn't look nordic to me.
>>2720126
Another thing to add to this, compare the climates in which Northern Europeans are indigenous to the climate that Greeks are indigenous too. No fucking shit they are going to look different. You really think in that extremely warm climate, they'd look like pasty ass scandis that burn easily in the sun. I don't where this whole conquest=racemixing meme started. Most of these conquests are for religious and political versions
>>2719982
I know many greeks that look like one on the left

>>2720188
meant turkish invaders, sorry
Also, a demographic minority in one of the Ionian islands hardly proves that Greeks were replaced.
>>2720214
Meh, like he's that different from pic related, a swede.
Don't get me wrong, nordic greeks is pure wewuzzism, but using busts to judge ethnicities is not much better.
>>2720241
>>2720214
This guy is 100% japanese.
I always find it funny how the question is always why do Greeks look like Turks and Arabs? It's never the other way around which is more accurate. Also cherrypicking pictures means nothing, for every swarthy "Greek" you post, I can show you a pale one.
Another thing, most of these "Greeks" most posted on the Internet to disprove that they're not European and whatnot, Greeks are actually never posted. It's always gypsies, Turks, mixed people from Greece, or Cypriots
>>2720232
>Also, a demographic minority in one of the Ionian islands hardly proves that Greeks were replaced.
For that matter population replacement is a remarkably rare event, or at least has been in the last 2-3000 years. Invaders very rarely have even just a minor impact on the gene pool unless they're a full blown migration populace or they're invading a rather sparsely populated area.
>meant turkish invaders, sorry
I'm nitpicking and in no way I'm implying the ionians have been turkified, but I have to remind you that the Septinsular Republic was under Ottoman sovereignty for a whopping 7 years.
>>2720271
That's because that's what greeks are
>>2720258
Ainu are not Japanese, real Japs are Chinko-Korean mischlings.
>>2720271
Can I use a similar thinking to say Egyptians were black?
>>2720282
>For that matter population replacement is a remarkably rare event
Indeed, yet it happened very recently in Cyprus when the Turks invaded. Which, I guess, is one of the reasons people associate Turkish invasion with ethnic cleansing and replacement. There's no documentation of any such thing happening on the mainland, however.
>Septinsular Republic
Correct, although very short-lived. Nitpicking like this is fine by me as long as noone implies ridiculous ethnic replacement theories.

There's nothing Nordic about that guy, he's just a handsome Caucasian man, could be Sicilian, French, German, there's nothing indicating he's Northen European, it's not like all Scandinavians are fashion models

Meh, mediterranean my ass, talk about a worthless classification. You'd have a hard time finding a profile like that outside Greece and Anatolia.

I did personally see natives of the island of thassos with blue eyes and natural curly brown hair. Apparently they were never invaded. Also the greek man who hosted me told me how ancient greeks were taller and some had red hair. But that doesn't make them nordics. Even the brown haired blue eyed greeks I saw had the similar greek skull shape to the rest of greeks.
>>2719982

Have you ever read anything about the ottomans, there really wasn't much racemixing. Cyprus is the only place the Turks altered genetically. Once again Greeks are in the same genetic cluster with the rest Europe, Cypriots in the middle, and Turks are from it
>>2719982
Ancient greco-roman statues look like modern south europeans
same facial characteristics
>>2721435
Turks thought Greeks were unclean and Greeks thought Turks were unclean. Segregation was mutual. And nobles weren't impregnating every woman they could capture. Most guys with harems were too old, too drunk, too gay, or obsessed with autistic study to fuck their women. Many girls remained virgins for the duration of their lives.

>>2721258
Other way around. It's the Turks that got Hellene'd. Turks are from Eastern Asia, a bit to the West of Mongolia, yet modern Turks don't look Asian. What happened is the ruling class changed and the plebs adopted their religion and language.
It's similar to how the Central Asian Turks got Scythed and don't really looked that Asian either.

>>2724716
Turks are closest to the other Mediterranean peoples who setttled in the Neolithic
>>2724710
It's not accurate
I'm brown, greek people are not anywhere near my shade
>>2724747
I disagree
Scandinavians and Brits for instance tend to be rather swarthy or "brown" compared to other Europeans because they're mostly descended from the dark skinned cro-magnon hunter gatherers who colonized Europe post-ice age
>>2724754
That's not accurate, all Europeans only draw a minority of their ancestry from that (generally dark-skinned) population. Their Bronze Age steppe and Neolithic Anatolian input is greater (with a North to South cline and vice versa). This is what Europeans look like when forced to choose from those three populations.
In fact, British Islanders (UK + Ireland) are the lightest-skinned populations around, more so than Scandinavians even.
>>2724739
Keep in mind that there are no pure Neolithic populatinos left in the Middle East. They all intermingled with each other and certain types of ancestry expanded at the expense of others. But yes, Turks look mostly like pre-Turkic Anatolians wiht a significant chunk of Central Asian ancestry and some recent Balkan admixture (converted Balkan Muslims migrating there).
>>2724769
Yeah, the original populations were the Anatolian farmers, Zagros farmers, and Levant farmers who arose from the local hunter groups
>>2721435
when will this meme die
>>2720126
Why is it called racemixing when Anatolians are one of the major populations Europeans come from?
>>2724754
have you ever actually seen an (untanned) swede or do you only listen to ben franklin vintage shitposts? I look paler than death itself.

And? You can post whatever you pull from google images all day. But Scandinavians tend to be more brownish than other Europeans.
>>2724855
People can look tan if they actually tan, most shutins are as pale as you'd expect. Maybe you've looked at too many over-tanned leatherskinned old people, like my grandpa, but our ground state is generally pale. Do you even have any photographs that you've based your opinion on? I'd be happy to take a look at them.

>But Scandinavians tend to be more brownish than other Europeans.
Please back up your statement.
>>2724754
>>2724769
Those ancient Western/Central/Southern hunter gatherer populations were much darker than any European today. In fact, If they were brought back to life they would like mulattos or South Indians or even the dreaded Somali. Their genes are significantly weaker than the other populations who FARMED and INDO'd/STEPPED their way into Europe.
>>2724894
Whoops, forgot to add "but with more European features as time went on" after the Somali part. They even had blue eyes before light skin. And you can't forget about the slightly more Neanderthal admixture.

Thats not a regular "Greek", thats supposed to be Apollo, which was always depicted as blonde because of his relation with the Sun. Just saying.
Memes aside, of course there were blonde Greeks, sure, they were not the majority, but we are talking about Caucasian European peoples here.
>>2724876
>But Scandinavians tend to be more brownish
No they don't moron. 70% of the population is blonde and blue-eyed, and it's even higher for Sweden and Finland.
>>2725907
70% of the population in Norway*
>>2725907
He was being nonsensical but he was obviously referring to skin color. That's what 'brownish' means.
And 70% of no population is "blonde and blue-eyed" unless you're using both in a kinda loose sense. Read the replies next time.
>>2725942
No native Scandinavian person can be said to be "brownish" in skin color. That's fucking ridiculous.

Both are greek. /his/tory is often the stories of the rulers because they could write. Just because others look through the lens of the underprivileged doesn't invalidate their views and its still a valid historical point
>>2726110
Got a genuine chuckle out of this.
Jokes aside, the "history of the underprivileged" is of course interesting and has been explored for pretty much every society about whose underclass we had some evidence (including ancient Greece) but it's probably not something that would interest most of /pol/, I mean /his/ too much.
