Your Rationalization of the Origin of Slavs

[War Chef]

Slavic dwellings resemble Cucuteni-Trypillian ones. So Cucuteni + PIE fusion = Slavs in my opinion. That would explain the embroideries worn by Slavs and also the patterns found on Trypyillian vases. Also Slavs are sedentary and not semi-nomadic, so they can't be purely of I-E stock.

Slavic origin pretty much indicates the point where Andronovo and BMAC meet Sredny Stog and Cucuteni-Trypillian.

Being found there doesn't mean it originates there. I really doubt it. It seems r1a covered a wide area by 5k years agi at any rate.

Possible... However, the very late date when Slavs appear in historical record, at a time when Christianity was encroaching onto Slavic religion and culture, should make one weary of trying to trace these to Slavs' ancestors that lived 3000 years before during deep prehistory. Anyway, I would agree with you that Slavic culture, like Keltic culture but unlike Germanic culture, at least at the very late date of attestation, borrowed deeply from traditions that, if not directly coming from pre-Aryan ancestors, followed a pre-Aryan mindset. I would give you the example of cremation (which is of course an Aryan custom) followed by burrying charred ancestor's bones underneath the family house followed by periodic unearthing of remains in order to be anointed with milk (which is a form of ancestor cult, incompatible with Aryan religion).

The original homeland of the Slavs and other Aryans was Central Asia. Around the 3rd century BC era, the Slavs as the last of the Aryan peoples have left Central Asia and relocated to Europe in the area between the Ural mountains and the central basin of the Volga. Hence, about half of the 5th century AD they migrated to the areas of the middle Dnieper basin. So late arrival of the Slavs in Central Europe, explains the fact why there is no historical sources any mention of them. The first mention comes from 5-6 century AD. At the turn of the 5th and 6th century the Slavs have started to expand to the West and South Europe. This expansion lasted until the 7th and 8th century AD. By way of conquest and assimilation, they conquered most of Europe. From the first little numerous people (about 300,000 people) at the beginning of our era, became now the largest group of languages ​​in Europe (currently 350 million people).

Eurasia like all Northern Europeans as well.

You resemble Bloggen a lot with this crazy stuff Probably he's lurking somewhere, ready for the next occasion to tell us more about his fabled Hungarian Pamirids

Slavs lived in their homeland (the Pripyat marshes) for a VERY LONG time before their first attestation (500AD), 3400 years before, to be precise (if one considers the first Slavs as the first Aryans that landed in Slavs' homeland).

[Peterski]

There is a major problem with the idea that the Pripyat Marshes was the homeland of Slavs. The Pripyat Marshes couldn't support numerous population, and were bad for farming. Slavs were described as being very numerous by the time of their expansion (and just see how vast territories they colonized - a few people wouldn't have been able to do that). Early Slavs were farmers & animal breeders, but mostly farmers.

Maybe the Pripyat Marshes were also inhabited by Slavs, but that couldn't be their only area of settlement. It is much more probable that the Forest Zone of Ukraine was their main territory, where most of Slavic population lived prior to expansion. We don't know who lived in Southern Belarus - either Balts or Slavs. So it is possible that Slavs lived south of Pripyat Marshes, in Pripyat Marshes (but here only few people could live), and a bit north of Pripyat Marshes as well. Another possibility is that the Pripyat Marshes was the boundary between Balts and Slavs.

Before they lived in those marshes they came from Eurasia.

No European folk came to Europe from some alien non-European geography. That is ridiculous to say. Indo-Iranians were a bunch of expansionists that started to take shape when non-IE speaking Old Europeans from Pontic-Caspian steppe had contact, around Azov Sea, with the newcomer residents of Iran-Caucasus who came to the area from among the Sumerian expansions.
