Because the Nordic(k) invaders had this innovation called bathing and bathed once a week and didn't smell like sheep piss -- they had an advantage when it came to fucking the local Celtic harlots.

>six foot eight
Majority of Norse men would be 170cm/ 5'7 for you burgers.

Height is a modern thing due to nutrition and different lifestyle.

That's not how a shieldwall would look like right?

Nice post-viking era Christian church

The Viking age ended in 1066 when all Scandinavians were christian

...

No that's the History Channel putting "vikings" in some bastardization of the Roman tortoise formation

Show how the vikings and the anglosaxons actually did their shieldwalls then

Didn't the shields overlap almost like a phalanx?
Otherwise its just dudes standing in a line.

>viking architecture
>see: england from 1066

More like this, ofcourse their lines would be thicker with guys standing behind them.

There were Christan Vikings you ape

>all these angry anglos

Pic related is much closer to your typical Viking architecture. Due to low population density, most people in Viking Age Scandinavia would live in extended familial groups in large longhouses such as this.

There's many variants on the design, including Turf longhouses in Iceland and greenland where insulation and waterproofing was provided by layered turf, providing a roof of growing, living grass rather than thatch. Always thought that was neat, like hobbits living under a hill. It was also common for additions to be added to the outside of the longhouse towards the later end of the Viking age, producing this kind of branching floor plan with additional storage and sitting rooms being added to the main floor.

Futhermore, living conditions and architecture were pretty much identical in England, France, etc. A Saxon or Frank would be living in the same kind of daub-walled, thatch-roofed house or long-house styled hall as a Norseman. The 'Vikings were backwards barbarians' meme needs to die.

Average Viking height would be manlet by our standards today, but Germanics have always been taller than their neighbors. Romans, Arabs, English, you can find common references to them being decidedly taller than people around them.

Here's a turf longhouse. Kind of hard to find good pictures, though. These were particularly common in Iceland and Greenland, where there was a lack of good wood for building materials, and consequently the walls were actually made of loose stone piled between two stacked walls of turf. Wood was still used to create the internal supports, which supported the weight of the roof. Apparently they were very well insulated against the cold and wind, and the turf roof hardly ever leaked. Heavy winds could peel the roof up, and there's a few saga references to home invaders coming inside by pulling the roof back and dropping down between the rafters.

You Germanics sure do hate each other.

Is this an architecture thread? I tried posting one before but it died quickly.

...

They made the best with what they had. I don't think anything's wrong with that really.

Might as well be. Post away, user. Where's the temple in that first image from? Any more images about it? Shit looks neat.

It;s one of the Dilwara Temples. And yeah Jain temples are usually very extravagant.

...

My favorite so far.

...

Holy fuck. Is that all carved marble?

yup

Meant to reply to you

...

No. The writer specifically mentioned that drama was prioritised higher than historical accuracy

>viking thread

Vikings didn't have any architecture. Literally, all they did was loot and raze villages.

Not exactly extravagant but it's from around 200 BC times so it deserves a mention.

Another one from around the same era

Last one.
It's not a building but it's the tree Buddha attained enlightenment 2500 years ago so I believe it's the most special one here.

Is it really the same tree? 2500 years seems a long ass time, even for a tree.

it is true that pre-christian europe practiced cuckoldry to a large extent however.

Well... it's the same spot but it's a different tree. The official tree was nearly destroyed by Ashoka's wife and then it got officially destroyed by this guy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushyamitra_Shunga . It's happened a few more times after that iirc.

Telling people it's the same tree is just something people tell tourists lmao.

>Is it really the same tree?
Nope.

>M*diterraneans still getting butthurt over the existence of Germanics

Priceless

>can't win battles
>takes over england anyway

Several of those are viking victories and Svolder is a battle between Norway and Sweden/ Denmark

That looks really comfy.

björnwulf means bear-wolf in norse. Old english is packed with norse words forced upon the weakling anglos by their Danelaw masters.

This is fucking heaven! Who should I kill to live there?

Dude, they barely had writing.
