There is barely a country in Europe that cannot look back on Germanic roots. The term ‘Germanic’ actually refers to a number of tribes and clans that lived in Central and Northern Europe from the 6th century BC. Gaius Julius Caesar is said to have used the word when talking about the Gallic war. However, the Romans were full of contempt for the Germanic peoples, Tacitus calling their home a hideous blood-curdling place full of dark woods and swamplands. But who were the Germanic Tribes? And how did they leave their mark on Civilization?

It’s funny how even in this documentary they talk about the colorful clothes they wear but in re-enactments the people are in tattered ugly brown clothes. In actual source material both writing and art we know Europeans loved colorful clothes and wore them.

One of the major reasons the Germanic Tribes (primarily the Visigoths) were able to bring down the Roman empire was because Roman identity had changed significantly around the 4th & 5th centuries AD. I remember reading that half of the Roman legions/army were of Germanic ancestry when Rome fell in 476AD. Many soldiers were sympathetic to the tribes and saw Rome as the oppressor. Many Roman soldiers simply turned their back and allowed the city to be plundered.

I studied history for a long time and completely agree that there's a specific moment in ancient Roman history where it's challenging to determine who the real barbarians were. The similarities in troops, immigrants, clothing, thinking, and fighting styles between the cultures make it interesting. For instance, the transition from the gladius to the spata, a long sword in the style of barbarians. It's also intriguing that many Italian and European cities welcomed barbarians as "liberators" due to oppressive Roman taxation. The major problem is our confusion and manipulation by Roman chronicles, which were essentially propaganda. These chronicles often come from Caesar's time, akin to describing modern Americans using accounts of the first settlers. A significant issue is how some have portrayed Germanic tribes since the 1800s as half-naked hooligans wreaking havoc, overlooking the human context and relying on myth and stereotypes, akin to how vikings, ninjas, or samurais are often misrepresented. 💀☠💀☠💀 HEL MORT

The Germanic heathens did have a very clear idea of an afterlife. The comment about only warriors going to an afterlife of Valhalla is really a weird one. The heathen afterlife was called Hel. It ranged from an incredibly beautiful existence to a punishment. I’d recommend the book, Our Father’s Godsaga by Viktor Rydberg to anyone interested in actual Germanic heathen cosmology/mythology.

It's fascinating that there is so much shared ancestry between the people of France and Germany, and yet the modern-day languages are quite different. German I can sort of follow along with (Turned on the German CC to learn some new words), but French seems to be its own unique animal. I suppose though, it doesn't take a great deal of time for there to be significant changes, even Old English seems to look more like Dutch than it does modern English.

The Franks were German tribe that were assimilated into the post roman culture, which included the religion of Christianity and the language. Of course, they wouldn't sound the same afterwards. Even the term "germanic" tribes, I have a bit of a problem with. It was a broad term invented by the Romans for the people in the east that they couldn't basically control for the most part of their history. Whether these germanic tribes were the same ethnicity and culture is highly debatable.

The area that is France now was called Gaul in Ancient Roman times. It included a lot of Celtic peoples. The Germanic people were relatively recent arrivals at the time, having come down into the area that is now Denmark and into the areas that are now Germany, Poland, and some overlap into France. So, French is more of a smorgasbord of languages with extremely strong Romance because Latin was used by the elites and other educated/literate people.

Between the existing Gallo-Roman population the Franks came to rule, the ecclesiastical importance of Latin, and I suspect the belief that they (the Franks) were the legitimate successors of the Romans, the Latin language took precedent in what is now France. The Frankish language was very similar to archaic forms of Dutch. Germanic languages persisted in other areas of Frankish control, like the Netherlands and parts of Germany.

You are right, though both romanced by Odin, Freya is a Vanir, and Frigg is an Aesir, and also the leader of the Valkyre and the mother of Brunhilde and Idunn. They ride together to the fields of the slain. The difference between Vanir and Aesir is that Vanir are the Spirit influences of the activities that deal with man and Aesir are the forces that effect the greater nature of the world. They are not God's in the Greco-Roman sense, but more like the Manitou of the first Americans.

it's certainly an interesting concept and possibly the idea itself does come from when people would boil water with hot stones, the first soups would have been made that way, however the idea of the soup stone takes many different forms across the world, from nails, to an axe, the idea remained the same. the idea of the soup stone is about the benefits of sharing and altruism. it's ultimately a tale about people who don't want to give anything, but the man with the stone has asked for only a little in return for a share, each is willing to give a small amount, which makes a portion enough for everyone, and the sum of its parts is greater than those parts individually, thus promoting people to share and contribute in order to make something everyone can enjoy. the man who makes the soup get paid with soup, the stone being that which initiates the conversation, as it's presumed the item is not common to put into boiling water thus peaking interest. while those who gave the ingredients, get the reward of wisdom, of sharing and cooperating within a community.
