On one hand you have Italians, Greeks and English who contributed to the world immensely
on the other you have illiterate guys living in straw huts, who prodiced no art, no philosophers, no archetictural marvels and who considered raiding unarmed people a brave act. Why do people dickride norse so much again?

Blame the English.
Why do people dickride nips and gooks over thousand nation China? Same reasons.
Italy is regularly dickrided in modern times tho. Literally have the best stereotypes and grew out of all the bad rap they got in the 1900s.
They produced a large body of literature and art.
>Italians, Greeks and English on the same tier

You mean sagas written two centuries after viking age? Yeah that's legit.
You said Norse
Hhhuuurrr
Modern day Scandinavia is pretty good.
It's an interesting culture?
Do you get mad when parents tell their children Native American folk tales because they're interesting?
Because those guys didn't have a civilization either, but they were an interesting group of people, and a lot of people are fascinated by them.
Dddduuuuuuuurrrr
Huuuuuur
Am I supposed to be fucking impressed by armor? That's their contribution to the world? Aside from the fact that the fact that neither of those helmets were used by them.
Dddddhuuur
Nice revisionism lmao this is how vikings actually looked like
Duuuhr
Huuuuuuuuuur
Fffuhllluuuur
...
Most of those green place weren't even raided, let alone settled, lol what a shit map.
But got chased off by natives.
Green was a raiding area, blatantly
Number of other Europeans who literally ever met natives at that time ever: 0
We're also pretty sure they were assimilated into the native populations because they simply weren't in any contact with other Norsemen.
While I agree that early Norse cultures are interesting and worthy of study, you're only making yourself look like a complete retard when you post like this.
Because Scandinavian people are tall and handsome, and every handsome people is given the benefit of the doubt
> Germans ugly
> Russians ugly
> Americans tall and handsome
> Americans are loved by everyone (not as much as 30 years ago, but still)
No, it isn't blatant at all.
there are no written documents or archaeological proofs of the fact that Vikings raided Sardinia or even Corsica as far as I know.
>showing proof of advances when told they were basically cavemen makes you look like an idiot
OP is a fucking joke and fallacies ought not to be posted on Veeky Forums
>On one hand you have Italians, Greeks and English who contributed to the world immensely
>Italians and English
I've actually seen discussion about that particular area and that is doubtful.
Otherwise, let's make that area gray. Does this make them so much less impressive?
>English
>contributed to the world at all
Good one lad
Americans consider fucking 180cm to be tall.
Yes. Every ''achievement'' of vikings is made up bullshit.
I always forget they were in Sicily.
Probably because they were one of the only, half-organized group of humans which acted as closely to homosapiens as they get. All they really did was eat, fuck, try to take land they could see, and discover it where they couldnt see. It's the same sort of appreciation you have for a pack of wolves that take over "hunting grounds" or lion prides claiming land for themselves. Obviously they are below you, but it's fascinating nonetheless.
But they did, you jealous loser nation.
How did the bad Danish man hurt you?
By speaking his abominable language.
uh no theyre not
????
5'10 is not considered tall. I'm 6' and no one has ever called me tall except manlets who want to pretend their height is average
Sorry I don't speak ooga booga I don't know the fuck are you bullshitting about but is that true you shart in mart?
Much of the sagas take place in the viking age and even earlier, there's tales of wars between Huns and Goths.
'cept the stereotypes about their military capabilities. Great acts of bravery indiviually amongst soldiers in their wars. But horrible leadership

Enjoy wiping your ass with no toilet paper white boy.
Name one English contribution to the world in the Viking era.

my cousin has a blond gf. They're pretty proud of being Aryan.
Then they should kill themselves because germanics have fuck all to do with aryans.
maybe he means Aryan, not as the Indo-Iranic term, but as the previously-believed synonym with the Indo-Europeans.
