> In wonderful savageness live the nation of the Fenni, 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.
Tacitus on the Finns
Finns are so savage it's their Asiatic nature
that image is so wholesome
Cringe
A Canadian would know all about Asiatic nature, wouldn't they?
Tacitus was a huge bullshitter and propagandist.
Samis were reffeed as finns. We lived in estonia and st petersburg area during roman times not present day finland. We have been farmers since 2000bc anyway
We need to go back
>We lived in estonia and st petersburg area
you mean mongolia
There never were finnoid in mongolia. Whats with these asian meme anyway? Indo-european languages originated as east just south of uralic homeland
Do you btw know what indo-part means?
I read some old tax legislation from the 1600s or so and it mentioned Finns as "Lapps" and Samis as "Finns" iirc which was very confusing until I figured it out halfway through
I dont think any roman ever made it to finnland. First all routes to finnland were swamped, finland itself was swamp. Plus cold, back then they didnt have canada goose jacket.
Finns are indeed the master race.
Yup Indians are indeed a filthy race
tacitus never met a finn
its a meme you dip
Alot of so called historical books and religious books are fake and only comfortable edits are printed. Like portraying Jesus as pork muncher white cuckold whereas in reality he would join to isis nowadays
Jesus was nordic
It's confusing shit. Russians referred as south western finnish tribes as Sum Russian history goes more into detail other finnic groups as well

Blessed beyond belief

you're right, it was from Liaoning (China).
