Filling the Gap between modern models and first hand accounts
Although the Oera Linda asserts many things that todays archeologist, geneticist, and anthropologists are just now confirming to be true, there is still a large gap between what modern day science promotes as our pre-history and what the Oera Linda proports and that gap needs to be reconciled.
Two things to keep in mind -
1. Academics today have built their model of our history using bits and pieces of genetic information, reverse engineering languages and cross referencing Indo-European religions.
2. The Oera Linda is primary source of our history from around 2200 bc. It also contains the biases and knowledge of the people from that time. We know that the Fryans had manuscripts that they themselves considered ancient however the contents of these manuscripts are not divulged.
The Indo-Europeans
The current belief of European origins is that modern Europeans are made up of three groups,
1. EEF (Early European Farmers), a Neolithic pastoral group responsible for constructing stone granaries and megaliths. Described as having a dark complexion, historically racially classified as 'Mediterranean'
2. WHG (Western Hunter Gatherers), Darker skin with dark hair, blue eyes. See Cheddar man*https://survivethejive.blogspot.com/201 ... r-man.html
3. Yamnaya (Indo-Europeans), who originated near modern day Ukraine, ethnically replaced EEF as the dominant culture in Europe via genocide and racial mixing, and spread the Indo-European language and religion across Europe and Asia which independently developed into what we know as the various pagan religions of Europe and Hinduism. Reconstructions look almost Asiatic, Siberian-esque, light skin.
*Modern reconstructions depicting ancient Europeans as negroid is it's own can of worms
The ethnic replacement of the Neolithic Europeans by the Indo-Europeans is believed to have taken place by at least 3000 bc until right about up to the time of the OL. It is obvious they academics constructed this story with what little they had to go off of and this was the result. First hand, we see the origins and spread of what we know today as European paganism as a result of the Finn-Magyar invasion and what was introduced by the Gools - and the European mother tongue and how it was spread, which is much different than what is purported today.
Despite this we are still left with some questions
Who were the EEF and WHG in the context of the Oera Linda?
Assuming of course the Fryas civilization aligns with the Indo-Europeans, that still leaves two major ancient racial groups that go undiscussed in OL. A major part of todays understanding of European genetics is that we are a hybridization of these three races, and our phenotypical differences can be chalked up to who has what percentage of Yamnaya, WHG, or Neolthic DNA, etc... This racial hybridization theory completely contradicts the Fryan worldview, who described themselves as being a homogenous society as far back as time goes. If this hybridization did occur prior to the events of the OL and Fryan cilivization, what would spur in the Fryas to suddenly create this culture of extreme racial purity? Are these labels of EEF and WHG simply the creation of todays Anthropologists assigning to labels arbitrarily to groups that aren't really separate from each other? or does the Racial Hybridization theory still stand?
If anyone is more knowledgeable on this sort of stuff than me and could lend a voice on this I would appreciate it.

Re: Reconciling European Pre-History research and the OL
well, I'm no expert, but I am thinking on this issue.
DNA researchers can differentiate between regional groups, even though they are very related, just different mixes in time. It is still rather arbitrary and depends on markers that are different in the genome. Any pocket, like a village, caste, mountainrange or river can produce these even though the people consider themselves part of a larger nation.
When these ancestory companies tell you you are English it is only likely, because the exact mix can be achieved in France or Germany. It depends to what era and arbitrary tribecategory they refer or classify etc. Also migrations and other historic aspects are debatable. And on top of that at every insemination it is random how much is taken from what ancestor, or reconnects at later offspring; like haircolour genes can lay dormant, so can local markers.
There's American people who are told to be of German ancestory, but they know their families are solidly English for instance.
So all three tribes Yamnaya/Anatolian/huntergatherer can be distinguished because of earlier migrations and internal (lack of) tribal mixing. Them mixing later on creating european genetics might not be upheavals of (hostile) invasions of completely differently rooted- or mixed peoples. They just had been separate long enough to devellop a recognisable genome, and variant stories and customs, while in all other respects you wouldnt see them as separate, and they would have a stronger linking substrate or root, and it's just the way they are handled by science that is obfuscating this.
Also the sexual practises, especially long existing ones (moving women, selection of men) can be the cause of mitochondrial vs. Y-chromosome disparities that are now interpreted as results of conquest. The women were maintained and cherished, protecting old genes, diverse mitochondria, while the most succesful and desired male carateristics were selected over time. So it could actually be the result of peace and cooperation.. I believe that it is possible that Europeans spread wide and then (partially) had to retreat into Europe. Tribes moved around, and most times there was enough room to settle in friendship. Some or most of the enemies even were of European decent or related but mixed race. So they would be those who got closely associated with or even overtaken by Findas (or Lydas), and this cultural/political overtake became a more poigniant layer of discrimination between Fryas and others, being the main story of OL.( Finda is related to the word Feind(enemy) and could be similar to how 'Turk' was used for any eastern barbarian in medieaval times.)
Interesting are also the theories of Survive the Jive on YT on this issue, though they not completely allign with OLM or Bock saga, they can be. And you are right that its not needed to uncritically take these stories as gospel either. Even in a federation of relative peace there can be natural reasons for a different narrative/traditions and subjective (mis)representation of actual history for a local tribe.
