If you want to discover the captivating history of the Basques, then keep reading...The Basques live in a portion of the Pyrenees in the far southwestern corner of France and across the ridge in the north-central portion of Spain, centered on the towns of Pamplona and Donostia. While some live outside this area today, many still call this region home. These hardy people have dwelt in the foothills of the jagged Pyrenees Mountains since prehistoric times, and they're still there to this day.The Basques manifest a genetic makeup that is prehistorically distinct from that of their neighbors in Spain or France. This has puzzled scientists and researchers for years. A genetic study conducted by Uppsala University in Sweden in 2015 discovered that the Basques established themselves as an ethnic group during Neolithic times, anywhere from 12,000 to 4,500 years ago.The Basques were isolated from other human migrations into Europe for millennia. Anthropologists have said that they are descendants of the Neolithic farmers who intermingled with a hunter-gatherer culture. About 850,000 pure Basques live in Spain, while 130,000 dwell in France.In this book, a great effort has been made to present the clearest explanation possible to elucidate the history of these fascinating people.In The Basques: A Captivating Guide to the History of the Basque Country, Starting from Prehistory through Roman Rule and the Middle Ages to the Present, you will discover topics such asThe Mystery of the Mountain PeopleThe Ancient Mystery UnravelsThe Basques under the Roman EmpireRule under Dukes, Counts, and KingsThe Middle AgesThe Late Middle AgesThe Modern PeriodEconomyThe Twentieth CenturyBasque TerrorismThe Basque Country TodayAnd much, much more So if you want to learn more about the Basques, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button
