@deuxglass1@rxdna_983 This was never really disputed I think, though there’s some reason to believe it was proto-slavic tribes that pushed them out. @Tom_Rowsell has spoken about this if memory serves me right
@KrahMax usually parties wait until they get into power before backtracking on their implicit promises and core principles. you’re pioneering a new kind of populism - one that grows to being nr1 and losing it all within one election cycle, without ever taking power. brutal
@BranfordEquity trading floors are filled with nice timepieces top to bottom. there’s no need for this faux-humble fairytale about how the wealthy actually wear underwear with holes, shitty watches etc etc. just stop already
@DariuszMatecki the vigilant poles have spotted the german invasion force that was hidden in plain sight… we will have to think of another approach, one that will finally get past the sharp eyes of dariusz matecki
Remarkable to consider. The tribes of the Migration Era that finally brought Rome to her knees and claimed her old colonies mainly came from this little area - and they also went North into Scandinavia and changed Germanic culture everywhere so that their god Woden became the main one even in the Viking Age.
-The Langobards who took Italy in 568 AD came from Jutland.
-The Saxons and Angles who took Britannia in 449 AD came from this area.
-The Franks who took Gaul between 486 and 507 AD originated in the Rhine-Weser region.
These people all spoke one language and worshipped the same gods, but the kings focused on one frenzied deity who brought them victory - Woden.
Not only did this swampy region produce the main characters of the Germanic world who introduced the new culture of runes, kings and halls- but they above all (with the help also of the Goths who came from Sweden) are responsible for reshaping all of Europe in the Migration Age - indeed the Franks practically invented the idea of Europe as we now know it.
Not a phenomenon from all Germania, not even all of the modern region of Germany - just this little circle.
