Polacy wciąż są Sarmatami. O największym micie nowożytnej Polski | Joanna Orzeł | DZIEJE #20

Did the Sarmatians really believe they were descended from ancient warriors from the Black Sea? Why were 90% of the Polish nobility "nobility in clothes," without wealth or lineage, but with a legend of ancestors from Troy? And does the series "1670" show history, or rather ourselves in costume from four hundred years ago? In this episode of the "History" series, Marcin Giełzak talks with Dr. Joanna Orzeł, historian and author of the book "We, Sarmatians," about how the Sarmatian myth was first intended to unite the diverse Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and was later appropriated exclusively by the nobility; why townspeople were more likely to imitate the nobility than to fight them; what Poland looked like through the eyes of foreign travelers; and why the myth of religious tolerance has more to do with propaganda than reality. When we look at the Sarmatians today, should we see pride, shame, or simply ourselves? 📸 Follow us: TikTok →   / zeby_wiedziec   Instagram →   / zeby.wiedziec   Facebook →   / zeby.wiedziec   #sarmatism #sarmatians #mysarmatians #joannaorzeł #giełzak #marcingiełzak #history #history #1670 #rzeczpospolita
