\n \nIf you want to discover the captivating history of the Basques, then keep reading...\n \nThe 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.\n \nThe 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.\n \nThe 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.\n \nIn this book, a great effort has been made to present the clearest explanation possible to elucidate the history of these fascinating people.\n \nIn 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 as\n \n- The Mystery of the Mountain People \n- The Ancient Mystery Unravels \n- The Basques under the Roman Empire \n- Rule under Dukes, Counts, and Kings \n- The Middle Ages \n- The Late Middle Ages \n- The Modern Period \n- Economy \n- The Twentieth Century \n- Basque Terrorism \n- The Basque Country Today \n- And much, much more \nSo if you want to learn more about the Basques, scroll up and click the add to cart button \n
