Don't talk shit about Ubbe

>Ubbe
More like fuccboiUbbe

Don't make fun of Andrew from Neighbours cunt

Too handsome for this world

Why are they all Muslims in the show? Wasn't they byzantines? Was Byzantine and Islamic culture, art, dress and weaponry the same?

Byzantines wore some form of Turban too, you git.

Muslims don't have a monopoly on turbans.

If no one told you they were in Sicily then you'd think they arrived at some Middle Eastern town

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirate_of_Sicily

Thought Vikings is being played out in the late 700s though

No, the episode features Euphimius and mentions that Michael II rules in Constantinople, so around 820s-30s

lel alright, 30-40 years have gone by in the show. Guess they're not really that interested in trying to portray the actual age of the characters, I mean Lagertha looks exactly the same even though she is perhaps 60 years old now.

I really don't watch the series desu.

Byzantines adopted it from Arabs you retarded byzaboo subhuman

>Caravanserail in Sicily
>Scimitars
>dried earth fort in Sicily
>those are supposed to be byzantine soldiers but look arab rather than greek sicilian or anatolian.

What the fuck.

>byzantine soldiers but look arab
Greeks are a mish mash of Arabs, Armenians and other m. eastern ethnicities. But if you're talking about their attire then you're right, they should have been depicted better.

>Greeks are a mish mash of Arabs, Armenians and other m. eastern ethnicities.

Do you shit on your balls with that mouth?

>mfw Greeks(Turks and Analbanians) get butthurt in the comments that they can't understand the Greek they are speaking

>he doesn't know that the Skutatoi operating in the Southern Climes resemble Muslim soldiers.
>And that the armies of early Islam took their cues from both Byzantine and Sassanid militaries.

Sniff sniff i smell a Gayreek
Stop being Armenoid then.

Imagine being a retarded Byzaboo subhuman
>we wuz Araps

Legacy of Emirate of Palermo

>Greeks are a mish mash of Arabs

No Greeks, are greeks. Roman "byzantines" were a mish mash though, sure.
And there may have been some semites still in imperial service by the 800s but I feel they would have been pretty few in number after the loss of the Levant, and I don't really understand why a garrison in Sicily would have semitic troops from accross the Empire.

>No Greeks, are greeks
hmm
>Be Islander Greek
>Be close to Levantines
>Be Pontian Greek
>Be close to Armenians
>Be Cypriot
>Be close to Levantines
>Be Northern Greek
>Be close to slavshits
>Be Athenaian
>Be close to Albanians

Well, Arabs sure as fuck didn't stay as rag-wearing desert barbarians following the conquests so their military culture following the period resembled what the "civilized" opposition wore.

His clothing pattern resemble pic related

I didn't mean their garb, I meant the of faces of some of them.
I mean their equipment is completely taken from the Total war Age of Charlemagne theme of sicily units, and I don't have the time or will to complain about leather armour. At least they have some gambeson underneath it.

>I didn't mean their garb, I meant the of faces of some of them.
Do you think you're white top kek Yunan mutt

I find it hard to believe this guy is ethnically greek, considering he doesn't look like a single greek person I've met, even in Crete.

Greeks have very little admixture from modern Arabs(Iberians and even Balkanites have mre). Original Greeks were of course nearly 100% Middle Easterner however(EEF/Anatolia_Neolithic+CHG+a bit of Natufian and Iran_Neolithic)
Modern Greeks are very similar but they have additional ANE admixture mediated through HG.

Minoan:
#1:
# Population Percent
1 ANATOLIA_NEOLITHIC 41.38
2 CHG_EEF 25.09
3 IRAN_NEOLITHIC 10.86
4 NATUFIAN 9.77
5 EHG 9.31
6 SHG_WHG 3.59

>mediated through HG.
EHG and additional CHG from the Steppe.

Iberians, Italians and even Balkanites have much more.

Greeks become less near eastern and more Siberian/Indo-European over time like all Europeans post-neolithic.

>Original Greeks
They were Indo Europeans from the steppes nothing to do with your mutt ethnicity.

He looks probably similar to Minoans without steppe and later slavic admixtures.

Mycenaean reconstruction who already had steppic admixture but less than modern greeks. Skin color based on DNA.

>They were Indo Europeans from the steppes nothing to do with your mutt ethnicity.
Original Greek hereMycaneans were Minoans with like 10% Steppe admixture(indo-europeans themselves were around half middle eastern)

>original greek
more like assimilated neolithic farmer

>I find it hard to believe this guy is ethnically greek, considering he doesn't look like a single greek person I've met, even in Crete.

He looks like a Cypriot who are less admixed than mainland Greeks.

>Original Greek
>more like assimilated neolithic farmer
They also had substantial CHG+Iran
>mutt
I'm not Greek but Greeks(and Sardinians) are less mixed that the majority of Europeans since they are mising most of steppic+siberian/east asian admixture other Europeans have. Greeks are similar to neolithic middle eastern Europeans, although East/North Europeans while more mixed have more WHG but also more ANE and mongoloid.

Most of that was actually built after the events shown in the tv series.

During the 9th century, the Arabs were still slowly conquering Sicily, it took them 150 years to finish off the Romans off from the island.

So the legacy you speak of comes later, in the late 9th and early 10th century and then of course, is resurrected by the Normans through the 11th and 12th century.

> Sniff sniff i smell a Gayreek

Tunisian actually.

You still have shit in your mouth.

Natufians didn't look like the guy in picture who has a lot of Iran_chalcolithic admixture.
Mesolithic ones were robusts. It's neolithic levantines who for some reason become skinny;

9000 bc Jericho man reconstruction. He should be prefominanttly natufian but might have some Anatolia. Skull artificially deformed.

You can still see those thick lips on some saudis.

Feels good to be Greco-Levantine Cypriot god with straight roman nose and 12 inch dong

>those are supposed to be byzantine soldiers
Euphemius was using an Arab force from Tunisia to hold the island and was basically just a puppet ruler, you're more or less right about the setting looking out of place though. Must've recycled some sets from Knightfall or something.

jnhb

sicilianon here
fuck him

that doesn't look like sicily to me.
sicily's only strenght is that the land is very fertile,that looks more like a desert

About as fertile as Cyprus or Gibraltar. Summer dries up everything, user.
