What happened in prehistoric Scandinavia?

"In wonderful savageness they live, and in beastly poverty, destitute of arms, of horses, and of homes; their food, the common herbs; their apparel, skins; their bed, the earth; their only hope in their arrows, which for want of iron they point with bones. Their common support they have from the chase, women as well as men; for with these the former wander up and down, and crave a portion of the prey. Nor other shelter have they even for their babes, against the violence of tempests and ravening beasts, than to cover them with the branches of trees twisted together; this a reception for the old men, and hither resort the young. Such a condition they judge more happy than the painful occupation of cultivating the ground, than the labour of rearing houses, than the agitations of hope and fear attending the defense of their own property or the seizing that of others. Secure against the designs of men, secure against the malignity of the Gods, they have accomplished a thing of infinite difficulty; that to them nothing remains even to be wished."

Fuck off

It was never funny and it will never be funny

It is unimaginable how much has been lost due to the ages, and of course the perfidy committed by the Hwangook.

It's funny as fuck, kys

Neanderthals enriching the ancestors of nords.

People were there first, 20 000 years ago before the ice age

The ice age came and no one was there until the ice began to melt by the coastlines.

Just like anywhere else, gatherers, hunters and fishers. Though instead of chasing and trapping buffaloes they tricked reindeer hordes down spiky holes and cliffs.

In the neolithic you got farmers and herders, fishermen too. Nothing special of note.

The bronze age saw development of chiefs and noblemen, because bronze was a status commodity from south exchanged with things like walrus tusks. People lived in typical norse longhouses in permanent settlements and utilized horse and plow.

During the iron ages farms were increasingly cleared and a steady population growth began to rise even higher, many could live on mountains obtaining iron. Trading with Rome was opening up. There at times too many people so the excess fucked off towards Rome. Longships were build thanks to iron nails.

Sami herding reindeer.

every time

Kys, Atlantis actually existed in the form of Doggerland, even the ancient hellenes noted this

As an hyper-advanced city-state/cilization with a city build around rings? Doubt so.

A powerful Minoian/Micenian state being wrecked by the sea? Plausible.

But, when I say "believe in Atlantis," I refer to the former, not the latter.

>>Hey guys! Let's act like an irrelevant meme country was a superpower!
Butthurt korean.

As the ancient Israelites had not migrated there yet, not much.

yes, eventually they went south and got fucked by the huns which forced them into rome (which also accepted them in a style similar to the current refugee criss), which ended with the sacking and destruction of the western empire and the creation of the gothic kingdoms

Rape.

Doggerland existed, but was not Atlantis.
Not only Europe was inundated as the glaciers melted.

It is no coincidence that the Aztecs, who assimilated the culture they conquered, claimed a heritage from the east, of Aztlan.

When the ice came, people lived where the ice wasn't: Doggerland and similar.

A bear shat at the northern lights.

There are quite substantial land areas now inundated that existed beyond the pillars of Hercules.

There's no good reason to suppose they were uninhabited, as people have been using boats for more than 50k years.

We may never find a ringed city, but we will find cities, and will find cities that were far more advanced than the neolithic.

The sea level doesn't rise smoothly, a mm at a time. It rises in a chain of catastrophic floods, and city-states so obliterated become refugees who have to start over with what they escaped with.

This is why the agricultural revolution appears to occur at about the same time all over the world.

The more advanced developments along coasts and islands were decimated at about the same time by rising global seas, and refugees were all reduced to hard scrabble means.

Sea levels have been pretty stable lately. Consider what would happen today if they suddenly rose 3m, with the collapse of the Ross Ice Shelf.

Even with our global network of civilization, the world would severely regress technologically, as the majority of development was destroyed simultaneously around the world.
