What is known about them? Why were they seemingly so barbaric, backwards and primitive compared to other britons?
>>
>>18466044
They lived in the ancient world's equivalent to Mississippi basically, a backwater of a backwater, barbarian hillbillies basically.

The Irish were similarly primitive also.
>>
>>18466044
Isolation and piss poor lands for agriculture, meaning they never got the push into more urban agrarian life that the people to their south got both before and after roman rule.
>>
>>18466044
They were snow negroes

>both before and after roman rule.
Until the Roman invasion of Britain, there was no such thing as a "Pict." It wasn't until the Britons living withing Roman territory (and the client tribes living north of the wall, roughly matching the abandoned Antonine Wall*) became semi-Romanized and Christianized that a separate "Pictish identity" developed.

There were cultural differences between Britons living in the far north of the island, but this was in-line with normal geographical variation.

*example: the post-Roman kingdoms of Strathclyde and Gododdin were both north of Hadrians Wall, but not Pictish.

Restated for OP:
Normal Britons, from the north, who diverged from the rest of Britain because of Roman occupation. In the post-Roman centuries, they weren't really more primitive than the rest of Britain, and their material culture was pretty similar, especially after Christianization.
>>
>>18466044
They are further proof that Britons were meant to be conquered by others. The Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Irish, Norse, French, Germans, and now the displaced peoples of their former empire.
>>
>>18466044
Other than being located in a relatively isolated region, they were not notably more primitive than any other Britons. Their brochs like the one pictured were fairly sophisticated, multi-storey buildings were not common in barbarian Europe. They also had water mills and decently sized settlements before contact with the Romans.
>>

Edit:
>There were cultural differences between Britons living in the far north of the island, but this was in-line with normal geographical variation.

Should say:
There were cultural differences between Britons living in the far north of the island AND OTHER BRITONS

Sure sure rajneesh....

>>18467440
You could also argue that pre roman invasion, they were all picts, as picts just meant people who painted themselves, and that's sorta where the etymology for britain and briton as a whole comes from.

But yes, you are correct.

Lmao, from the moment that Rishi Sunak became PM, that was the moment that the former imperial subjects officially became the next conquering force of the British Isles. You don't get a say in these things, serf. Actual movers and shakers have executed their revenge on Britain for its impoverishment of so much of the world.

If you are typical of the current island dweller, maybe the best of other nations coming here to breed is a good thing. Our stock seems to degenerate very quickly without regular influxes of fresh.

That's a pajeet anon, and so are you lmao

The British, who independently invented bronze metallurgy in 2200bc, might have played an important role in the transmission of this Technology to Scandinavia and the start of the Nordic Bronze Age. British Bronze Axes made around 2000bc, 200-300 years prior to the start of the Nordic Bronze Age, are found with frequency in Denmark and Sweden.

Yeah Nice try OP
>>
>>18466044
No. the Picts raided Britain several times which was the reason for the foundation of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms Britons invited Germanic people to their lands to rule and defend them from northern threat.
>>
>>18467608
North is upstream, always has been. Just because Egyptians call it "upper Egypt" doesn't mean it actually is.
>>
Picts where based, they realized big cities and being metropolitan is actually... GAY af. So they tried to move away from big groups of people so they could live in small independant tribes.
