>>18206546>Their villages are not laid out in the Roman style, with buildings adjacent and connected. Every man leaves an open space round his house, perhaps as a precaution against the risk of fire, perhaps because they are inexpert builders. They do not even make use of stones or walltiles; for all purposes they employ rough-hewn timber, ugly and unattractive-looking. Some parts, however, they carefully smear over with a clay of such purity and brilliance that it looks like painting or coloured design. They also have the habit of hollowing out underground caves, which they cover with masses of manure and use both as refuges from the winter and as storehouses for produce. Such shelters temper the keenness of the frosts; and if an invader comes, he ravages the open country, while these hidden excavations are either not known to exist, or else escape detection simply because they cannot be found without a search.It was a beautiful morning. I looked out of the window, and I saw the wonderful Germanic fog, I blinked in the hut made of cow shit across the windows. Such beauty. Such civilization.
>>18206621People gotta make do with what they have with cold winters and fire is absolutely a risk. But then thatch would not be the best roofing for that, would it?
>>18206546Monumental ArchitectureTruly a marvel for the ages
>>18206546Honestly, I think people should go back to living in tiny homes with their clans and having shared long houses for group events and social gathering.
>>18206546>>18206621Nice cherry pick greaseball
>>18206546coming into this thread with 0 context made me laugh very hard but can someone please explain.
I once found the single-room shacks that were once the norm to be rather pitiful, but after spending a lot of time reading about life at sea you realize there really is no such thing as poor accommodations on land.
>>18207387Because we all make fun of African buildings. And this is traditional nordic housing.
>>18207412You're cherry picking the worst example of longhouse greaseball. African buildings were thousands of years behind even middle iron age Germanic buildings because they didn't have: hinges, weren't built with nails, hewn timber, timber bracing or framing, roof trusses, upper floors, shingles, window shutters, windows made from hide, chimneys, multiple rooms, fucking doors with locks and riveted planks I could go on all day.
>>18207412Time and context is of no consequence during this banter i imagine.
>>18206546As late as 1500 you could find people living in these humble circumstances in the most "civilized" locations on the planet earth. The comparisons should be betwixt the wealthiest examples of living conditions a culture can claim.
Insecure whites lower white izzat so much...
>It's that an upright wooden log????>Scheiß, I'm doing monumental architecture n' scheeeeiiiiitttt
>>18207431He doesn't realise that Germanic buildings were thousands of years ahead of most African huts. His rhetoric is built on ignorance and superficialities. Just because something might look the same or similar to something else it doesn't mean it is. For instance idiots on this board show the Hedeby open air museum and compare it to an African village not realising that all the buildings in the museum have finely hewn timber and window shutters as well as riveted plank doors with hinges and locks. They're low iq morons that see the world superficially.
>>18207461Yes it is monumental timber architecture olive nog sorry if that hurts your fee fees. The Norse built temples, only civilised societies reach the hallmark of building temples it's considered monumental architecture.
>>18207452This rural people build rural architecture sourced from their environment.
Can we PLEASE enable /int/ flags on this fucking board? my guess is bangladeshi and turkish flags would be pretty fucking common.
The greaseball thinks African huts are comparable to this longhouse built in the middle iron age lmao
Bronze age Sicilian goat fucker hovel compared to monumental Nord longhouse lmao
>>18207462I didn't even say anything jeez anon
>>18207478Thix. Also registered haplogroups.
Germanics and celts actually made windows out of animal hide.
>>18207462Southern Europeans only lose these debates because they believe Stone > Timber inherently.Their literary sources are the "3 little piggies"
>>18207495Wood is more insulating. Less important to them. Anti-important even.
>>18207504So what do you think of greek dark age mudhuts then?
Reconstructed 2000 year old longhouse that probably belonged to a king or high ranking chief.
>>18207522
>>18207510I think warm landers just need cover from the rain, but northern parts of Greece can be quite cold.
>>18206621LMAO they literally hid under shit heaps
>>18207659It's a Souterrain dumbass would they rather be killed or enslaved by enemies or just hide underground?You're trying to spin it as though they permanently lived underground like neanderthals. You're basically a nigger on Facebook grunting about whitey being cavemen while you wuz kangz embarrassing Antonio lmao.
>>18207659Isn't it strange that your only choice to communicate with the civilized world is to break into a Germanic language from a small island so many miles away from you?
>>18207753The interpretation of that reality that would come naturally to any sentient hominid is what drives threads like these (and many more global phenomena)

>>18207730You're an Australian subhuman descended from criminals
>>18207864I descend from recent Bavarian immigrants and Silesian Australian settlers no I don't come from convicts.
>>18206546>mistaking won't for can'tScandis still live like this. As a race they refuse to gild lilies.In fact they take the lily's impression, throw it away, cast it in concrete. paint that gray, and then place in the windowsill as the one decoration in the entire house, and this is seen as highly indulgent.
>getting your ego personally attached to a people like that lived thousands of years ago and to whom you can barely say to be relatedJust sad. Appreciate every culture or civilisation for what it is. There's no need to wewuz
>>18208051>relativist drivel, strawmanning the argument and ridiculous safe goythink platitudeok wow thank you for your measured response. north western europeans are still objectively superior to every other group by every perceivable metric
>mhh how primitive
>>18208066Where's the strawman? Every day there is a new thread of wewuzzing>The Cucuteni–Trypillia were actually a civilisation, just look at this gold hoard bro. Noo actually the dark ages weren't dark, it was just as good as the Roman period actually!! Vgh the mighty lønghøuses, truly these were an architectural marvel anywhere in the world for their periodIt's all so embarrassing>north western europeans are still objectively superior to every other group by every perceivable metricYou mean today? Yeah sure maybe. That said, I'm Danish and I barely consider you low IQ, unwashed hordes white so. Stop embarrassing us with this wewuzzing and just appreciate history for what it is, faggot
>>18208078This
>>18206546Superior to anything blacks ever built.
>>18208122It's interesting how the Norse were urbanizing rapidly like this but the Saxons in Northern Germany were still living more or less like how Arminius lived as a child 800 years prior.
>>18208144Their equipment wasn't all that different though compared to the Norse or the Franks.
>>18207659I fully expect you to turn around and give a diatribe as to why Africanoids are actually enlightened geniuses for doing the same in the current day.
>>18208146Living in a Saxon village in the 9th century to me would be so comfy, the last vestiges of Germania.
>>18208149
by the logic of these threads Dubai is the current peak of human civilization because they have the biggest and most expensive buildings
>>18206646In areas where it was possible, people used peat slabs/bricks for their roofing. In particularly wet and cold areas, like Iceland, they also placed a layer of peat bricks around their houses for insulation.
>>18208323Kind of, Oslo is incredibly wealthy but looks like a soviet commieblock cuckshed. Those dumb arabs at least fund innovative futuristic engineering
Insane amounts of butthurt over a joke. Nice job, op
>>18208092Danish mate? Danish contributes zilch to the notion of western european superiority. Thanks btw for being so good at speaking my language. :D
>>18208534He's not Danish. He's Turkish. Getting tired of people lying about where they're from, if only people knew how bad it truly is.
>>18208534Sure. What's that got to do with me? If you think any accomplishments past those of your own and perhaps your immediate family's actually say anything about you, you're a fucking loser. Go and make some accomplishments of your own. If you're so desperately short that you're on 4channel and wewuzzing, then you're doubly a loser>>18208544Post hand or argue the point instead of dodging like this. I realise I'm being a bit too mean here, especially because the OP is bait to exactly get this kind of reaction out of you guys, but holy shit come on man do better
>>18208551hey hey now, mehmed watch the language, the calm facade is cracking a bit.
>>18208572Again, post hand or engage with the actual point. Why are you being a shyguy?
>>18208576when you say post hand, you're supposed to also provide your hand, but that's fine I can literally see where you're posting from.
>>18206546living in a longhouse would be based
>>18208597Cute smol hand :3 Also>light outside and carpeted floorYou are literally American. Why are you wewuzzing this hard on our behalf? Learn to appreciate our culture and history for what it is, that's literally all I'm asking. We can talk about cozy longhouses without having to make them appear grander than they are, or without kvetching about blacks. If you put any stock in being whyte for whatever reason, it's actually literally counter-productive because now you just made it look uncool. If you stay chilling I'll invite you to this year's white boy summer okay?
>>18208605Lol you fags have carpet too I've seen it. I am not wewuzzing, I'm the guy calling you ottoman. Also I'm perfectly fine with euro's "othering" americans but extend that to canadians and australians too please, I went to Melbourne and it was literally infinity brown people.
>>18208616Well you're replying to my post where I made fun of people's wewuzzing, so presumably you were wewuzzing, right? All I'm saying is to chill out and actually act white friend >Also I'm perfectly fine with euro's "othering" americans but extend that to canadians and australians too please, I went to Melbourne and it was literally infinity brown people.Well I don't doubt you. Americans just outnumber Canadians and Australians so I just took a shot in the dark. And nah I've never seen carpets in any European home
>>18208628Can you like please post hand and lack of carpet.
>>18208632Even a danish passport in this one Anyway after seeing your pic I don't have that dog in my me anymore since it seems you're pretty obviously just young and a little misguided, and tbf I did come a little hard @ you guys especially because there wasn't AS much wewuzzing as usual. Just think on it tho
>>18208534>My languageEnglish is what remained after roman, nordic, french, etc invaders came over and ordered uno beero por favor senorita over the course of thousands of years. It's like japanese mocking chinese for understanding kanji.
>>18206621White people do it with SOVL though very much unlike jeetoids
If scandinavia had more calories per square kilometer than the Mediterranean then northern civilization would have outshone the southern but now it's the reverse. Ps: mocking tribal africans is pathetic, why mock backwards people? Are we going to spend hours shitting on inuits and aboriginals as well? It's so insecure.
>>18208653thats pretty clever and funny, A+ banter. keep speaking my language tho.
>>18208676Unless you are english you're not speaking your own language. Even most white Americans are germans who were terrorized into dropping german, and then we have scots or welsh...
>>18208681Most white americans that is indeed the case, good thing my entire family is from stowe vermont for about 20 generations. Maybe a scot or two slipped in during the early part of last century but otherwise, yeah you're speaking my language.
>>18208691Congratulations anon, to which address do i mail the english licensing fee of $1?
>>18208681This is a fun cope I see a lot. Let's pretend that is the case for just a moment, (which it isn't for most of the white south, or new england or upstate new york.) The number of Germans is often a little exaggerated what really happened is they settled what are STILL the least densely populated parts of the midwest and PA. They do not make up the majority by volume of the white people in the US. People claiming Irish descent do, and I strongly suspect the majority of them are mostly Anglo. A boomer was VERY UNLIKELY to cite English as their primary ancestry, it carried no prestige or ingroup benefit.
>>18207354Still primitive and shit.
>>18208747I know
>>18208326kino, comfy, and Bilbo Baggins-pilled
