So we Lithuanians have this site called sarmatas.lt ("The Sarmatian"), it has existed for a few solid years, at least since 2010, and their original purpose was, as per title, spreading the ideas of the Lithuanian Sarmatians, a bunch of insane dudes who think the Lithuanians were the Sarmatians. Yes, Poles laid dibs on the Sarmatians first, but it's not like they care.

Now, after at least seven years of vegetation, it's devolved into this weird pseudo-news network, and to not offend Rule 2 too much, basically, they jerk off to neo-paganism, constantly bitch about the government, spout a lot of nationalist and anti-refugee nonsense and hate the organization with the 12 stars and blue background with a passion, to not delve too close to modern politics. I think you can easily tell where they're heading when they call the "general" section "Genocide"

But I'm here not to talk about their current state, I instead whipped up an interesting article of theirs from their golden age, in 2010.

"About Greater Lithuania, it's cities and districts and the will of the Nation"

LITHUANIA according to until now hidden, destroyed and nevertheless found sources in the world history archives has existed for 3850 years. These historical facts are proven and were found in Spanish archives by our enlightened mind, Jūratė Statkutė de Rosales. She declared that in the "Jordanes Chronicle" and in other authentic primary sources we are the successors of one of the biggest and and earliest kingdoms in the history of Europe.

For the uninitiated, Jūratė Statkutė de Rosales is like the second person next to the already discussed Česlovas Gedgaudas in this Lithuanian supremacist agenda. She has written similar books discussing similar ideas, and scholarly opinion of her is the same - she crazy.

Sadly, Lithuania hasn't existed for 3850 years, and it'd take some serious damn evidence that we did.

Surviving maps prove that Lithuania was one of the biggest countries in Europe, and since the 14th century - the biggest.

Medieval Lithuania was like a balloon. It looked big, but it was empty on the inside.

A country with a million square kilometers may look big, but when it only had 3 million inhabitants, it may as well be the size of Poland.

And the Kingdom of Poland was 10 times smaller by size than the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, taking up only the lands of Krakow, Sandomierz, Poznan, Gniezno, Kalisz, and a few other tiny lands.

Speak of the devil.

First of all, they missed the entirely of Mazovia and most of Galicia, both wealthy and important regions in Poland at the time.

Second of all, this is a Mongolia vs Korea scenario. Is Mongolia much bigger than the Koreas? Yeah. But is it more populous or stronger? Well, I wouldn't bet in it. Lithuania had shit for population. Poland was stronger, it was a more economically developed and a more populous nation. Or at least had more or less the same population. See here. Move on.

So any Polonized local inhabitants, the "tutejszy", talking a half Belarusian language, explaining that "this is our land", need to see some maps. The so-called "Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth" was divided and robbed by aggressors three times. From 1795 these lands were occupied by Russia. So how could Polish citizens come here if Poland was never here?

Well, you just explained how - they were Polonized. Which, by the way, does not make them any less inhabitants of the Vilnius Region than Lithuanians or Poles. And I don't even know why we're talking about this when the tutejszy were an early 20th century phenomenon and have been assimilated AND DON'T EXIST ANYMORE, GOD, WHICH CENTURY DO YOU LIVE IN?

This is why the history of the GDL has been falsified, our prehistory has been hidden, in Lithuanian schools Lithuanian history only takes up a few lessons in the day, history textbooks are written by people who don't love Lithuania. (Followed by two paragraphs of ranting about the History Institute and how it has sold Lithuania to the Poles and has been ignoring the obvious clues to the 4000 years of true Lithuanian history, which are supposedly so obvious that only a few fringe historians can find them, yo)

We Lithuanians are great at hating ourselves. We hate ourselves as much as we hate Poles.

Česlovas Gedgaudas in his book "Searching for Our Past" writes:

Oh, yeah, these people also worship Gedgaudas because why the hell not.

The lands occupied in World War One or in any other war and thus their forcefully changed country borders cannot be accepted as historical, because they're not.

But...

What.

But WWI or any other war are history. And since those borders are in history, they must be historical...

But no. Because they're not. Right, should we give Lithuania back to the Russians, then? After all, the illegitimate and ahistorical German occupation led to the illegitimate and ahistorical restoration of Lithuania, right?

The ethnic Lithuanian lands were at the Baltic Sea and will be here forever. This is proven by the survival of one of the oldest languages in the world - Lithuanian.

The Lithuanian language is far from the oldest in the world or even in Europe. The Lithuanian ethnicity, and thus presumably their language, former around 5th century AD, and there already were a number of languages formed across the world. In addition, that Lithuanian was faar from the one we use - in fact, most of the grammar and vocabulary of modern Lithuanian was constructed pretty much from the ground up (hell, my current school was named after the linguist who was heading this effort) in the 20th century, and if we were to only count modern Lithuanian, then we would in fact be using one of the world's newest languages.

Sure, Lithuanian is a conservative language, thanks to our beloved linguists purging everything we took from nearby languages in cold blood, but it's not all that old.

In addition, Lithuanians having access to the Baltic Sea is also a recent phenomenon. I'm sure you know that not all Balts are Lithuanians, and the Lithuanians used to only take up that is now eastern Lithuania, far from sea access. Even when the Grand Duchy managed to push to the sea, the shores of the Baltic were inhabited by Curonians and later a distinct Samogitian ethnosus until much later, when they were assimilated into the Lithuanians.

This is as far as I go, because everything past this line either deals with stuff that has already been said, modern politics (the Polish Electoral Action of Lithuania) or neo-paganism.
