How the fuck do I have better opsec than these fuckwads?! Maybe if I smash my head into a brick wall enough I’ll be stupid enough to understand, oh wait I wouldn’t because I have enough scars on my scalp that if it was going to happen it wouldve already happened. I can’t get a job but these pissants can fucken ridiculous.
Fun fact Herodotus hot boxed with the Scythians.
Oh most certainly, it’s a matter of perspective of the times. Most of my ancestry lived and died on two gods forsaken islands off the coast of Europe, I live on the otherside of an ocean and a continent they didn’t know about in a climate they only knew from myth. We can argue over what the origins were for millenia as people before us have and still come to no conclusion because those who wove said myths are gone with the only trace being said myths.
Yeah that’s also what I’m referring to, a good amount of the story beats were taken from the Sumerian Flood Myth. Meltwater Pulse 1B was a major flooding event that raised the sea level quite a bit within about 80 years and is probably the basis of a lot of flood myths.
Just to point out that Noah’s Ark is lifted from a Sumerian(?) story that is linked to the epic of Gilgamesh. Also Meltwater pulse 1B probably left some cultural memories that got merged with it at some point.
Depends what happens between now and then and what survives. We have pretty accurate documents from Rome and thusly a sober interpretation or at least as much as you can get. Meanwhile the viking age is as much legends as it is history, the difference between myth and legend is blurry but generally when spirits and gods get involved in a direct sense it’s myth with a few exceptions. King Arthur and Beowulf are myth, De Bruce and Davey Crocket are in the early stages of legend.
