We also burned and fucked old Kungälv in Fucked up Sweden (basically just a bunch of gays) around 1200 a.d. this event does not even exist in Swedish history books or history classes. there is a difference between real Slavs, basically what is considered today Westslavs plus some ukrainians and russians and basically nonslavic people just speaking a slavic language like many -Southslavs, ome russians, sami or finnish DNA but slavic language and way of live.

[@aldamagnusdottir9645]

I don't think my ancestors were using horses.... We got old breed horses in Iceland, but those horses are small ! Pony-like with a lot of fur if compared to a normal horse. I'm Icelandic, but my grandmother was from Poland and I know Poles were great riders, I've seen "Winged Hussars" in Polish museum some time ago, and I've heard about Polish mounted knights as a true power in a medieval times. (Grunwald 1410 good work Poles!!) I'm glad I've got Polish blood in my veins ! But I don't think my ancestors 'Vikings' were using horses that much in the battles, especially on the continent, It's hard to put the horses on the boat, with food for them, and for sure horned helmet is a mistake. I've seen many 'viking times' helmets in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and here, but none has horns. BTW it may be interesting for some of you.: We, I mean my family has a sword, well not quite a sword, but what was left from the sword. It's passed down from father to son in our family. We do believe (however we haven't any historical evidences) that sword belonged to one of the first settlers here from Norway, Ancestor of our family. WEll it's my older brother who get the sword when time come, not me.

[@igormatusiak3897]

Gabriel Olmedo Film director wanted to make all vikings with horns. But this vikings was acting by Jomsvikings Hird - one od the best vikings reconstruction groups in Europe. They They not agreed to this serious mistake. Unfortunetely director want cavalery because its look more epic. However is much much more realistic than "Vikings" TV series. Sorry for my English i start seriously learning short time ago ;)

[@jairoukagiri2488]

Eh, any vikings who were Gothic would have had horses and Vikings took cattle on their ships with them on the viking-expeditions (viking is like hiking) though the horned helmets is a Celtic thing. Especially stag or bull possibly.

[@iamnothere7395]

Nope. There is no proof they didn't ride horses at all and horns on helmets is written about but very few actual helmets have been found.

[@19Koty96]

Actually, it is historical that Vikings were pushed out of eastern Europe. However it is quite oversimplified by this video.

[@Olhor10]

Harolds Bluetooth band was mostly Slavonic as the modern archeological and genetic research say.

[@leakaderova8557]

Olhor10 Its not so surprising. Northern Vandals and Ostrogoths had strong connections with bronze age cultures in central Europe. In Sweden till today is many local toponyms similar to those in Slovakia, Czech rep and southern Poland (especially its valid for Vandals and for Slovakia and region of Sliezsko in Poland/Czech border area).

[@RackerPaS]

Lea Kaderova Vandals and Goths that are Germanic peoples and no Slaven and they lived in Central Europe, at least temporarily.

[@leakaderova8557]

RackerPaS Its not so clear. For example few known Vandal kings with clear slavic names were Miedislaus (king of Hasdingi Vandals between 310 - 388), or Radagaisis. Term Vandals in medieval age coincide with term Marcomans, in region of central Europe. You can see it for example on "Tabula Peutingeriana" were territory on left Danube bank is marked as MARCOMANNI and in the interstices between letters is inscription VANDULI. Markomani were, at least on territory of today Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia and Czech republic more slavic than germanic (and even "germanicity" of Germans is quite interesting). There are also medieval authors which called Vandals as slavic people, for example Albert Krantz in his Saxonia wrote "Marcomans were Vandals of slavic bred who attacked Boii and furious nation expelled from their everlasting territories and seize their land... ". Also there is preserved vandal dictionary with 181 words and many of them are till today understandable with absolute no problem for any slavic nation, but not so easy for german or anglo-saxon languages. I can show some of them for example word "pot" - Vandal: "pechar" Slovak "pohár" Czech "pohár" Polish "puchar". Word "thunder" is Vandal "grom" Slovak "hrom" Polish "grom". Word "man" is Vandal "klap" Slovak "chlap" Czech "chlap" Polish "chlop". Word "flame" is Vandal "plamen" Slovak "plameň" Czech "plamen" Polish "plomien" and many many else. Try to compare it with German or Swedish terms for that things. There are many other traces (heraldry, culture, toponyms, language (I can write here oficial public funeral notice about death of swedish king Karl XI. for public, from 1697 and you can see in which language swedish royal court communicate with his vandal subjects)) which pointing on that Vandals, were much more in common with those what we currently calling Slavic nations than with those who we currently calling Germanic nations.

[@Olhor10]

[@dohaeng82]

Actually Slavs were also part of Vikings (that's why Norwegian and Swedish people have about 15% haplogroup R1a)

[@zhannka2011]

The vikings participated in the slavic slave trade, thats why they have so much of the slavic genetic. The R1a comes from eurasia. There are blonde and red haired mummies found in siberia that predate the Scandinavian kingdoms and they all have R1a genes. R1b comes from R1a.

[@dohaeng82]

R1b not comes from R1a. Both haplogroup comes from R. Haplogroup R1 mutation formed about 30,000 years ago. R1a1 - about 15,000 years ago (m17), and it is definitive Aryan mark. R1b is a Celtic mark (mutation P25) - not Aryan. R1b1 formed in region of Spain about 10,000-12,000 years ago, after glacier melting. R1a1a1 (m417) formed about 7,700 years ago. This people appeared in central-east Europe about 5000 years ago. West of Europe was already taken by Celts (R1b....) and of course much earlier by I1a (P38, P30) (Nordic)

I described Scythes as "slavic-related",which means not necessarily a core slavic tribe. But recent genetic studies indicate they shared same haplogruoup, so characterictic for Slavs. Scythes were a very mobile folk originating from nothern Iran. Slavs stay in the Balkans for 11 milleniums, they predate Greeks, their pagan beliefs impacting greek mythology is known by historians for a long time.

[@chesedlubartower7831]

There's no such thing as "Slavs" - it's a myth. Let me explain. Poles, Czechs, Slovaks etc are a mix of Celto-Germanic, Nordic, Turkic, Finno-Ugric and Iranian/Semitic peoples. Russians and Ukrainians are also a mix of these groups, except they have more Turkic admixture and much less Celto-Germanic. Serbians, Croats, Montenegro etc is a mixture of proto-Slavic speakers with Volga Bulgars, native illyrians in the Balkans, Ottoman peoples and also Greeks. On the other hand, Vikings were much more homogeneous. Of course Nordic people are mixed, but they are still "Nordic", whereas "Slavic" just doesn't exist anymore (if it ever existed in the first place)

[@subsrebel4]

I understand some Slavs have Iranian admixture but Semitic? Semitic=Jews or Arabs. I seriously doubt ''Slavs'' have any Jewish or Arab genes in them.

[@chesedlubartower7831]

subsrebel4 Well, as strange as it may sound to you that's true. Did you know that Poles used to buy Arabian slaves before they were Christians? Hundreds of Arabian women mixed with Polish men. Then also Poland had THE BIGGEST Jewish population in the world - before 1939 3.5million Jews (10% of the Polish population) lived in Poland and lots of them mixed throughout the 1000 years in Poland. Nowadays lots of Poles have a degree of Semitic autosomal DNA in them - not everyone but a lot of them. Obviously, Poles also have Nordic, Celto-Germanic, Finno-Ugric, Turkic, Iranian ancestry as well, but Semitic is also very common.

technically if you look into religions and traditions, Rus Slavs had the same opinion of dying if they were warriors. They burned their dead instead of burying them in a ceremony. I am also pretty sure Vikings were much more civilized than they are portrayed, which would make sense for similarities. You know how historians like to call everything barbaric.

It can be found on Ptolomei map. Lugians is a name of a slavic tribe. Lug-łęg, a meadow, such tribe Łęgowie-Ługowie in south-eastern Poland is well documented in ancient era. Henryk Sienkiewicz correctly placed them in Quo Vadis. But Ge

As to Boji, I dont know much, but judging by their name they were Slavs. Yet Celts and Slavs are not the same, as celtic Eire language is not slavic, am I right ? Btw, Eire is the only celtic language, almost extinct, but being an oficial state language of a nation.

[@Bla31n]

Are Germanic tribes considered Nordic?

[@VendPrekmurec]

@daniel931016 are your proud with this viking "culture" ? Btw Vikings were sometimes mercenaries also by Varangian kniaz... Vikings were originally robbers in the sea, in Jarl tribes

[@wladys678]

"Nestor wrote Slavs came from west", I assume he really did so. 1.Did he specify the time ? 2.Does it mean Slavs never lived there before ? 3.Russia and Ukraine did not exist then, they were Slavs same as Western Slavs. Language differences deepened with separation by Mongol linvasion,migration to North-Zalesie-Moscow region, split between Rome and Bysantium.

[@toddjohnson9782]

What's this about slavs conquering Europe,?I don't remember a war between slavs and Scots highlanders,when did they encounter the sons of lord somerled!

[@kgibas666]

in this movie the vikings are invaders on the slavic ground (todays poland)

[@ingvarz7468]

it was actually early Rus people(Gotlanders) and Slavs... and we won(we slavs)

[@christopherchristianity2379]

Ne naoborot ? Vikings discovered North America circa 1k Anno Domini . Found Kiev which was the beginning of modern day Russia , Ukraine and Belarus . Conquered Normandy , East Anglia and many other places in the world

[@DrugiPoWojcie]

The (Joms)Vikings here are indeed the filmmakers' fantasy. Had the director stuck to the novel that served as a base to the film ("Stara baśń. Powieść z IX wieku" by J.I. Kraszewski), these would be Saxon soldiers supported by "Pomorzanie" ("Pomorcy"). Neither the film nor the novel feature Polabian lands/Rana island - however, it takes place in the lands of other Lechitic tribe, "Polanie" (one could mention "Goplanie" too, I guess), and tells about the legendary beginnings of our state.

[@MarienThyme1]

So this movie excerpt makes what point to you?

[@lionpersia]

@TheProlup Higher in my previous post was expected to mean that the average height of Germanics is 5'11.6" in men while that of Slavs is only 5'10". Also, Germanics are superior to Slavs.

It is not my claim of the Pelasgians being the original Greeks. Someone else on this site is making this claim. I do agree, that most of what we've heard about is history is a joke!

@eragonn14 a jak nazywa się ten film? :)

[@wladys678]

You've missed,beween Slovaks and Polanie was Kraj Wislan a/k/a Malopolska, w.Krakow its capital. It was christianised in Slavonic rite in 880's and became a part of Great Moravian Empire, probably along with Silesia. Gorazd, Metody's main disciple moved to Krakow following his mentor death and Swietopelk switch to Teutons. Here in Krakow he was free to practice the Slavonic rite.

[@bertoletti8912]

My assuption applies only to the particular situation of Slavs to sedentery tribes whichthey overhelmed. And I did not state there was a correlation between genes and language.

[@inarel90]

There are so many similarities between the Germanic and Slavic people that one could say we are but one nation.The mythology matches,customs as well and it is a fact that they mixed together.So there is no point in arguing who is better. And regarding the ignorant idiots who comment nonsense such as Furmanov,learn the history first. Greetings from Croatia! Slava

[@Kelticgirl1]

I disagree - Jesus Christ lived in Egypt after his birth and up into his early years. I think what you are citing is Egyptian lore. I personally believe in the Old Testament of the Bible. It gives me much comfort to know that I and the other fellow other belivers do not walk this earth alone.

It is an indo-european language which derives from no one of the other indoeuropean languages suvh as latin, slavic, germanic, keltic etc etc it is a sepparated in indo-european language. I said that in race, albanians are approximately 90% Dinaric, the highest dinaric percentage in Europe and Balkan, just like Swedish are 85% Nordic.

[@ZviJ1]

As to VendPrekmurec's last message: Seems like the Jewish angle must be inserted into every remote and unrelated crevice at all costs eh.

[@wladys678]

As I said before, border line between East and West Slavs is volatile, many times indefinite. Nestor himself wrote, Grody Czerwienskie and this means Lwow, is land of Lachs meaning Poles. Somehow you skip Mazowsze,situated between kraj Polan and Rus. True, linguistic difference btw Polanie and Mazowszanie is not very obvious. Note, many villages in Poland carry old names like Serbiny, Serbinowo, Karwaty,Karwatka - one of many evidence: Wielkopolska was Biala Serbia, while M.polska-B.Chorwacja.

[@Runningthrewaphase]

All I can say is that I am fighting them on all fronts, I can only speak for myself, I started MANY threads on the flashback forums in Sweden, I once started a thread there about albanians that was read by 40.000 swedes warning about the albanians and sharing my experiences with them. Now what happened was that the albanians on the forum reported my for what they called "trolla" and got my account there closed. So they educate themselfs to make administrators take such actions against the truth.

[@Kelticgirl1]

Then let me ask you in your opinion, where do the Albanians originate and what is their genetic background?

--> 4.slavian's too:P in fact slavian's/balts in central europe and vikings didn't fight too often-only trade or even live together on common island in pirate city:P...sometimes someone used them as mercenaries-that's all...and even after all-tried conquer britain together-normandia did it:) but they were close:)

@antarktyka1 About 15% of East Germans and 25% of Austrians have R1a, a Slavic haplogroup. The rest are mostly Germanic. So not most of them have Slavic genes or even close.

[@Kelticgirl1]

I voiced my opinion about the Albanians. I did not call them bad names or try to harm them,I simply stated things I have been told by other European cultures.

[@crocsbait]

Vikings didn't fight on horses... Sure, they rode horses when on land, but only for the means of fast travel, but in battle they would dismount to fight (in shield wall)

They started the game and they still continue, just read some of their comments.

Tipical Slavic trick in fight if I saw it well. Similar was been made in Serbian during NATO or USA attack to those land.
