Question for euros: didnt VIKINGS leave any descendants? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hooligan · 07-08-2006, 04:41 AM

I've been to Denmark and Norway recently, and the people I met there must be *surely* the most educated and civilized folks I've ever met anywhere (and I've been in a lot of places around the world).

So could THESE gentle people be the descendants of ferocious Viking berserkers, whose very mention made shudder warriors around Europe and North Africa? What the fuck happened to them?

Culture changes over time and in response to its interaction with other cultures.

So how come they became so peaceful and polite? Did they lose their bloodthirst warrior genes?

Hmmm, dint notice that. Modern Skandies are the most peaceful and ultra-civilized people on Earth, even though the men can be remarkably Big felows.

I agree to that but they arte not the only country try in other asian plce surely you'll get one.

XxXotic · 07-08-2006, 07:49 AM

no, the viking bloodline died out around 1060 AD because they were very leary of allowing outsiders into their clans, so the bloodline eventually died out

FetishTom · 07-08-2006, 07:51 AM

Yes they did but mainly in the UK hence empires, numerous wars (usually won) and football hooligans

DutchTeenCash · 07-08-2006, 09:01 AM

scandinavians in general are pretty polite true

Viking voyages grew less frequent with the introduction of Christianity to Scandinavia in the late 10th and 11th century.

Decline

After trade and settlement, Christianity was introduced into Scandinavia by the 11th century, and the process of Christianization was completed during the Middle Ages. The coming of Christianity, and with the inclusion into a wider European civilization, as well as technical advances in warfare, made the Viking raids less desirable and less profitable, and eventually the political structures based on them were replaced by structures based more on continental feudalism.

Us Norsemen have bad tempers. The gene is alive and well. We just aren't allowed to bludgeon people with massive swords in public anymore. Dang culture shifting.
