But if they tried to settle in the northern mountains they were met by a fierce enemy • Proved to be valued mercenaries throughout the Mediterranean. • Pre-Roman boundaries are unknown • Coexisted with the Romans and culture, language and legal traditions were preserved

  4. Whaling and the discovery of America in the Bay Of Viscay? When explorers arrived they found tribes that spoke Basque • French Revolution marked beginning of hostility between the Basques and Spanish. French controlled the Basque country, but Spain later won it back at the peace table • Madrid began to become hostile to traditional basque rights and the Fueros

  5. The Basque language

  6. The basque language pre-dates the Indo-European invasions, and is likely the oldest living European language. However there are no written records until 1545. • Theories employ that Adam and Eve spoke Basque. The name Eve according to this theory comes from ez-bai “no-yes” in Basque??? • Absolutely no linguistic relative, it is an orphan non Indo-European language. • Remarkable because once the Indo-Europeans began their Bronze Age sweep from Asia across Europe, virtually no group was left untouched.
