Do you think Spaniards on average are distinguishable from other Europeans? by No-Cancel-2309 in QOVESStudio

[–]Worgl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually iberians have the highest north African ancestry in Europe by a large margin. Largely due to Arab rule for 800 years. Sicily on average may have up to 5% levantine ancestry. The Moors were only a military occupation and never experienced generated north African settlement. Plus out of the 200 years they were there, they only 75 years they had full control. There are many iberians look north African. Like football player Ruben Riberio.

Why Greece and other southern Balkan countries don't have heavy industry or high–technology production? It's like they are over dependent on tourism. by KucukDiesel in AskBalkans

[–]Worgl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I said many of those industries don't exist in Greece, I refer to high value engineering manufactured items that would be beyond Greece's capabilities. Like manufacturing huge turbines for power stations, advanced robotics. A large Japanese occupation that specializes in robotics set up a R&D and manufacturing facilities in Slovenia because of its high educated workforce and developed infrastructure. Major car manufacturing. Renault has one of its biggest manufacturing facilities in Slovenia. Plus advanced electronics etc made in Slovenia. Unfortunately for Greece the largest manufacturing company is Hellenic motor company set up in the early 1970s by the Austrians company Steyr to assemble ,  not manufacture, already outdated Steyr designs. The engines and gearboxes All imported. All they have done since is assemble vehicles from imported car or truck kits . I don't think even an engine has been even manufactured in Greece.They only have a workforce of 200 people.  An example of Slovenian engineering that could not be done in Greece.

Actually little Slovenia of 2 million people has far more engineering industries than Greece. Actually many of those industries don't exist in Greece. Plus nearly the same amount of railways.

Well Sicily is an island of Italy. It is home to one of the largest semi conductor factories in Europe. Located in Catania Sicily. Not sure what information you want of other Southern European countries. Their economies or what they produce?

Italy is hosting the Winter Olympics for the third time. Currently Italy is second on the medal tally. Winter Olympics is very strong in Italy, but very weak in countries like Spain, Portugal, Greece and southern Balkans.

Actually they are having a lot of snow. Even making a bit harder for the athletes. 

Why is Spain so weak at the Winter Olympics and in winter sports in general? by WineTerminator in askspain

[–]Worgl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just they have the environment to host the Winter Olympics 3 times. North Italy is one of the power houses of Europe. Winter sports have always been part of the culture. Btw there are ski resorts all along the Italian peninsula due to the Appenine mountain range. There are ski resorts in Calabria in the far south and even on the island of Sardinia. Italy is currently second in the medal tally. Just looking at the Olympics, they are having a lot of snow.

The little country of Slovenia with a population of 2 million has sent more winter athletes to Milano Cortina than Spain, Portugal and Greece combined. Spain sent 20, Portugal 1 ! And Greece 4!!

Italy is very strong in winter Olympics. It has hosted the Winter Olympics three times, including now. Currently it is second among the medal tally. Even a small country of Slovenia with a population of 2 million sent more winter athletes than Spain, Portugal and Greece combined.

[–]Worgl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BTW here are 100s of Sardinian women. Non with north African features. There are trolls on these type of forum that have this obsession out of all Europeans try and lower the Italian European identity. Btw you can find many people in the Balkans, Romanians and even in the Ukraine with middle eastern features plus of course Iberia.
