    More than it's given credit for. The vikings were primarily merchants and traders with a rich literary and poetry tradition.

      You're only thinking slavs because the heavy nordic / finnic influence on the northern slavs and how Russia heavily promotes it's nordic/finnic heritage, but tries to play it off as if it was Slavic Russian all along.

    Every time I see pictures of Hyperborea it's like I'm unlocking some long lost memory ofg beloning, and get a fuzzy feeling inside. Can't even explain why because it doesn't happen with pictures from other fantasy settings.

        It's always funny to see posts like this. The painter is a Slav, and all his paintings are very clearly Slav-themed. You two are just amerimutts and can barely distinguish the Celts from the Germans, much less the Germanics from the Slavs.

            They were probably fatter than this. No way you can go winters with that distribution. This is more accurate

            Pretty advanced. Although as

            In terms of urbanism, not at all. The bronze age Scandinavians seem to have deliberately avoided building cities unlike other wealthy cultures of bronze age Europe. Which is unique because during this time the Scandinavians and early Germanic speakers in settlements in Northern Germany, Frisia and parts of the Baltic they colonized were extraordinarily wealthy compared to the rest of northern Europe, due to the amber trade they quite violently consolidated.

            The phase referred to as the Late Neolithic which saw the beginning of this resource consolidation was the first instance of the haplogroups R1b-U106 and I1 becoming common there. This era saw a transformation of economy and culture that shared more in common with Bell Beakers and the Pitted Ware Culture. They were quite tall and well developed physically for the time, towering over the height averages for most of bronze age Europe.

            https://genomicatlas.org/2022/07/15/from-stone-to-bronze-recent-developments-in-scandinavian-archaeogenetics/amp/#

            So they were rich and like their Norse descendants quite resourceful, but unlike most any group they had no cities or development associated with civilization at all, outside of small round forts and kind of proto-castles, most a of which were ruined in later eras. High culture but without a semblance of will to build cities like Hyperborean LARP art like this, which I think is more associated with groups like the Wends. Wends were heavily mixed with Nordics and Norse culture, but lived in dense cities constructed from wood primarily. They went on raiding and causing trouble for Christian Europe including Scandinavia (which had largely been converted) at the time. I think even the artist who popularized this genre is Russian.

            Southern Scandinavia was quite warm when that girl was alive, not at all like the winters they've known for nearly 3000 years. It's actually not so harsh in Denmark and southern Sweden even now.

            said they weren't very urban or centralized.
            In fact, I have read a very interesting book arguing that Nordic bronze age elites organized themselves in guilds/secret societies based around boat building instead of regular polities. They would have supposedly controlled knowledge of boat-building, warfare, and creating rock carvings. They would also be the ones in control of maritime trade, slaving expeditions and raids to other settlements.
            But most of the argument has to do with parallels to other societies that might have been similar, like the PNW natives.

              Bronze-age SOUTHERN Scandinavia was extremely rich from the amber trade. Few other places around this part of the world has such a massive concentration of bronze and other wealthy artefacts from this era. But as Christian Christiansen points out in a recent documentary, society was extremely uneven. Slavery was extensive, gigantic graves like "the kings grave" (one of a kind in northern europe) could be built. Because petty rulers held the bronze and amber trade with an iron fist, their rule could persist until the advent of iron smelting. Then metal production could be made here in Scandinavia instead. Society shifted in favor of the common man, hence this artefact rich period dwindled, and the priest and ruler class couldn't continue developing their high culture.

              what book?

                Trade before civilization. Too lazy to type out the subtitle.
                It's in chapter four, if I recall correctly.
                They cite quite a few examples of parallel institutions in regions with similar levels of social development and similar geography, like the Pacific Northwest of Canada and the U.S.
                Picrel comes from the book.

                Btw, this is speculation from the trusted source of some retard on Twitter, but I have seen arguments made that the collapse of the southern bronze age empires might have precipitated the decline of the bronze age Scandinavia due to a lack of demand for amber/spread of dangerous ideas.

                Makes sense that the collapse had negative effects on trade even for Scandinavians
