A Thread for Vikings
>>18326283Good thread My contribution is that generally when we talk about "Vikings" (yes, the term is all-encompassing) or Norse, we don't think of archers, but obviously they used bows, just like everyone else. But what I would like to share is how they had their own type of archery, different from what is presented to us in series and films, and in fact they were quite dynamic and mobile with their bows. Experimental archaeology videothe arrow held low on the right side, using a pinch grip, and the archer running – clearly matches the pictures and historical sources. https://youtu.be/rii-oWSsU4s?si=HuxW4PG9i0120sbh
>>18326283No. They were matriarchal
>>18326344No. They were just 1° wave feminist, but not matriarchal
>>18326344Women held social power because they convinced the men that they could do magic.
>>18326283Muslims humiliated, killed, enslaved, conquered, triumphed, and terrified the Vikings in such a majestic, incredible, masculine, and virile way that no Norseman dared to set foot in Al-Andalus again, leaving them to kill defenseless matriarchal Christiancucks on those shitty ash islands of the north. Dilate and weep.
>>18326356>Women held social power>because they convinced the men that they could do magic.Even more cucker
>>18326356>>18326360Wise women are respected in every society. Crones and midwives kept the clan alive.
>>18326358Muslims manlets were terrified of animalistic Nord BWCs
>>18326365>Crones and midwives kept the clan alive.Maybe in some Gimbuntas fanfic society and the african ones? Maybe.>wiseWhat is wise? And why should they have power? Not happened in greece, roman, persia etc. Wise women knows how to shut fuck up
>What is wise? And why should they have power? Not happened in greece, roman, persia etc. Wise women knows how to shut fuck up
>>18326342This is suck a retarded take, how many other goofy looking cartoons from the Bayeux Tapestry and bible marginalia do you think people acted out in real life?
>>18326369You didn't answer me, monkey. What are "wise women"? And why and how did they gain power? And why didn't this happen in other societies? And it's not widows or midwives who kill society.
>>18326370Perhaps if you calmed down, took the penis out of your mouth, and tried to watch the video and at least look at the bibliography? There are written sources that attest to this common type of bow use. And these "drawings" frequently appear aligned with the historical sources that provide the basis for it.
>>18326378greek leaders literally took advice from foids high on cave gas lmao, keep coping ranajanam
>>18326365This is not things works
>>18326381>greek leaders literally took advice from foidsAgain, the monkey didn't answer my questions. And cite examples of when this happened. The OP doesn't deserve an off-topic discussion, but just to shut the monkey with AIDS up, Women who took bold and decisive actions could be seen as disruptive to society and to nature. Go read Wider and other feminist garbage
>>18326394It's not on me to educate some semi-literate streetshitter seething about the foids on the role of sibyls in the greco-roman world lol
>>18326399I accept your concession, end of discussion
>The Sibyl, with frenzied mouth uttering things not to be laughed at, unadorned and unperfumed, yet reaches to a thousand years with her voice by aid of the godno saar those bloody benchod greekishers knew the foids were not of the knowings saar
>Sibyls were divinely inspired women, and their prophesies were highly esteemed. The ancients thought them “with gods” (entheoi). Varro counted ten Sibyls. The first and oldest was the Persian; the youngest, the Sibyl at Tibur.Were the sibyls actually MtF hijras, kurpresh?
>>18326344>>18326353>>18326356>>18326365Monkeys shouldn't make noise when the subject is history. Pre-Christian Nordic culture was an absolute patriarchy like the others. The foids were not emancipated *in any way*: To begin with; marriage was a transfer of guardianship from a male relative to their new husband, the husband being chosen not by the woman, but by the man. Here you already discard any nonsense about the power of choice, they were patrilocal and patrilineal. Second, Foids could not participate in legislative assemblies (Things) and were also not legal witnesses. Where is the power and more rights compared to other societies? Using often mythologized sagas of "shieldmaidens"? Or distorting sources of isolated women who defended themselves from an attacker even though they were not warriors? Or perhaps basing it on that tomb where a prostitute with a severed skull was killed and buried with weapons? Stop with these "popular posts" and false internet comments claiming that women are somehow equal to or nearly equal to men.
Poor monkey.>Sibyl1.>The scholar David S. Potter writes, "In the late fifth century BC it does appear that 'Sibylla' was the name given to a single inspired prophetess2.>Platospeaks of only one sibyl, but in course of time the number increased to nine>nine>nine>nine>The number of sibyls so depicted could vary: sometimes they were ten, as in the Classical tradition, but later two more Sybils were added, bringing the total to twelve>ten>tenPoor monkey, they were priestesses, not rulers or even fundamental to the Greek state structure, since they were not only rare, but we know practically nothing about them or their speech, and they didn't "hear" them, they heard the gods who presented themselves in them. Greek society, like the rest, disregarded these roasts>Muh divine counselYour wikicope page:>Varroderived the name from anAeolicsioboulla, the equivalent of Attictheobule("divine counsel">This etymology is not accepted in modern handbooks, which list the origin as unknown.LMAO
>>18326411> The faces of men and women in the Viking Age were more similar than they are today. The women's faces were more masculine than those of women today, with prominent eyebrows. On the other hand, the appearance of the Viking man was more feminine than that of men today, with a less prominent jaw and eyebrows.>These ambiguous facial features mean it's difficult to decide the sex of a Viking skeleton based on the skull alone. Therefore, other characteristics need to be studied to identify the sex of the skeletons.
>erm, akchoally, they just consulted foid priestesses for advice, not "wise women"keep coping lil bro
>>18326426I always see you guys spamming this quote but you all never have the courage to post the article in its entirety. But I can already see it's garbage, probably from some news site. And idiotic, isn't it obvious that men of the past would be more "masculine" than modern men? That's ridiculously obvious. So if five thousand years from now someone compares skulls from 2026 with skulls from the Bronze Age, can they say that our generation was a feminist utopia without Dysmorphism due to lower average robustness? Wow
>>18326411Meds and nordic were both sexist
>>18326411Myth made by larpagans and e-torians
>>18326342>Lars Anderson This fucking retard again
>>18326411women where in charge of the household stop projecting your Mediterranean gender norms on them
>Spics will tell you they're patriarchal while living under the matriarchy of the slipper.
I feel like there needs to be different words for political patriarchy and familial patriarchy because in a lot of societies the setup is that they have political patriarchy with familial matriarchy and just calling a society a patriarchy doesn't get this across
>>18326342This limits your draw length detrimentally and increasing draw weight with such an insecure grip. Basically it's a child's way of pulling a bow.
>>18326703>doesnt know what the fuck patriarchy/matriarchy meansRetarded faggotMatriarchy mean a society ruled by women and meant to appeal to women (gynocentrism)Wich is exactly what whites are Ruled by women and slaves to themNothing to with getting beaten by your mother/parents
>>18326739>t. Got beaten with a slipper
>>18326283When we get Magyars/Finnish/Cuman thread?
>>18326358Every sand nigga put to the Nordic sword
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merseburg_charmsI have read a few Finnic versions.I had heard of text about odin and baldr but now I found it.Finnic versions appear to translate almost word to word.I thought that original version was about Lemminkäinen and Väinämöinen and people of pohjola.Lemminkäinen is easy to compared to BaldrVäinämöinen to Odin.Pohjola sometimes has Sun's Son or Sun's Daughter.Frija maybe Frigg or Freya could be compared to Pohjan akka as they all are women who rule in their respective halls.Your thoughts on looped square?Maybe it represents firmament.I have seen multiple historical versions where there are humanoid or wind shape on four corners.Why is it not appreciated by vikang larpers?
>>18326696>women where in charge of the householdNo, they weren't you brownoid
>>18326709While running no
>>18326705Retard take
>>18326705>i feelPerhaps for the mentally ill, but political patriarchy generally extends to the political and not the other way around.>>18326696Nordic society was a common old patriarchy, in which women were little or not at all legally distinguished from minor children, and things like honor killings existed
>>18326969>political patriarchyfamiliar* Your post is so idiotic it's contagious, especially since you failed to notice how the family was an integral part of society in the ancient world even "downstream" in the political sphere.
>>18326402When an Indian speaks to me of civilization or culture, it's like a Krugman principle. Or an inverse-Kramer. I know that he is either lying, retarded, just evil or some combination of those at once. And that the exact opposite of what he's saying is probably closer to the truth of any given thing.
>>18326426>the appearance of the Viking man was more feminine than that of men today
>>18327078Researchers most likely found some thralls buried together and took it for the whole population. There is an active effort in all the west in academia and especially archaeology to stifle nationalist or national/ethnic/etc pride. The lowest rungs of society are always the least sexually dimorphic globally. Weak men and women with fat asses and mannish faces. Europeans are very dimorphic. All the rest of this shit is trivial data and narrative manipulation. This is probably closer to most early medieval aristocracy, knights and middle classoids even. I am proud of his skull (no homo).
>>18326283Thórir 'the Silent' Rǫgnvaldsson = Gorm "The Old" of Denmark.Thórir/Gorm was the brother of Rollo, whom BOTH had to flee to Normandy/Denmark to try their luck when the family/faction of Harald Fairhair took over Norway and threatened their own homeland of the Orkneys into submission - leaving them both landless.The story of Ragnar Lodbrok was the family fairytale of Ragnvald,- their father. The Orkney-based "Seakings" of Denmark-Norway were the remnants of the Cimbri whose base in the Kattegat was Læsø.tldr;DNA-speculators stating that Rollo had a celtic haplogroup are spot on, because the Yngling lineage is named after Aengus.
>>18327117This. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/100315-headless-vikings-england-execution-pit>Aside from their injuries, the headless Vikings "look like a healthy, robust, very strong, very masculine group of young males," he added. "It's your classic sort of warrior.">A major benefit of the Viking diet was the fact that every level of society, from kings to common sailors, ate meat every day. Often this would have been pork, as hogs were easy to raise and quick to mature, but Vikings also ate beef, mutton and goats. Horses were also raised for food, a practice that led to later clashes with Christian leaders, as horsemeat was a forbidden food under church doctrine. Vikings were avid hunters, and would capture reindeer, elk and even bear to bring back to the hearth fires. And of course, since Vikings spent so much time on the water, fish formed a major part of their diet. Herrings were abundant, and prepared in a plethora of ways: dried, salted, smoked, pickled and even preserved in whey.https://www.history.com/news/the-surprisingly-sufficient-viking-diet>>18327265Nope. This we wuzzing is retarded, there's no evidence that Gorm came from anywhere but Denmark. Get your own kings, stupid Irish slave nigga
>>18327280>there's no evidence that Gorm came from anywhere but DenmarkThe mainstream story is that his father "horda-knut" came from the north (norway) you're being a well-poisoning retard.
