>Romans noted there wasn't a single stone building in Northern Europe unless it was built by Romans
>Tacitus mentioned this because the tribes in the North seemed primitive
If the ancient Romans were Nordic, why wasn't Northern Europe as developed because it was guaranteed inhabited by people of pure Aryan stock.. the same as the south?
Why the fuck should northern european build stone buildings, when it's cold most of the year?
everyone knows that cold melts stone
nords are subhuman
Wood is way better insulator than stone.
There's literally 0 reasons to build stone buildings over wooden buildings in northern europe
All of Europe but Scotland, Greece and Rome don't have stone buildings... Scots confirmed Med.
when nords moved south they enslaved the meds there so they can build civilization. and mixed with them over time.
those that stayed up north couldn't enslave anybody. because all nords are freedom loving. so no civilization.
have nordics unlocked this tech yet?
absolutely based
Yes, the more technologically advanced material; STONE!
snownigger cope
Buildings are the first step towards degeneracy since Africans can come live in them as they did in italy
We should be living outdoors like our ancestors
Literally called the "STONE AGE"
what are you trying to imply here?
u saying you had not even reached the stone age until the 12th century?
Because wood is readily avaliable in scandinavia. We dont really have much good quality stone
Will any fellow MED's help me remove the foreign Angloids?
We built gigant stone fortresses in 200 CE
What do you think will happen to a negro if you give him a wooden house?
They make campfires in apartment buildings here
cope
I'll fight by your side my MED brother
Claiming the Romans were Nordic was the hardest Germanoid cope of all, to cope with teh fact that the only things they knew about their own civilization was written down by "inferior Mediterraneans".
Usage of stone requires more advanced economy, and quarries. Because a log house can be built by a handful of people, or in some cases even by just one person, it's also infrastructurally more sensible solution.
the cope continues
>advanced economy, and quarries.
i.e. slaves
Nordoids are subhuman compared to the Scottish Med. You are our slaves
Gigacope
You aren't even nordic
Finns don't have a role in world history
Did the romans note that their "empire" got destroyed by a handful of germanics armed with sticks and stones?
Finland is more nordic than scandis
We literally have more northern european admixture, we are taller than all scandis (except swedes) and we are blonder than em
the most intelligent people in the world and best countries are nordic though
this thread is pathetic huur nordics are primitive subhumans but look at now? it just means they didn't have the resources like romans did

why are germoids so delusional? the cousin of the emperor who succeeded augustus took an appelation from shitstomping millions of germoids into submission. they even built a roman fort in eastern austria

Woah...not being Nordic is a blessing then
we're reaching levels of cope that shouldn't be possible
>>Romans noted there wasn't a single stone building in Northern Europe unless it was built by Romans
The Gauls had stone walls around their cities and they were the first Northerners Romans even met. lel They barely set foot anywhere further besides bongsland.
Cope? World wold be a better place if Germanics/Slavics never existed
You can't insult Finns by saying we're not niggerhearted animals aka Nordics
pakkoruotsi
we're not northerners
It's perfectly rational to hate Swedish language since it comes from ugly demonic Caucasusnigger rapists. There's virtually nothing human about you.
Nice try jew but Romans, ancient Egyptians and Chinese were Nordic
That's not true but they generally favoured wood. Tacitus said they (presumably at least some Germanics) didn't like to use stones in burial mounds either. Wood decays and is largely lost, sadly obscuring much information about them, particularly the different woods and their uses (Tacitus also said they buried them with rare woods).
Tacitus said a lot of things, user.
We still continue to dab on them for 2000 years running so who cares lmao
>what is dousing
Also, wood was ubiquitous in the north. Even if your house burns down, there is plenty of material to rebuild it.
>Romans noted there wasn't a single stone building in Northern Europe
>Romans in Northern Europe
Tell me more about the glorious legions marching on Denmark user.
>legions
more like traders
>unless it was built by Romans
There were also some Roman engineers and artisans apparently... What do Tacitus calls "Northern Europe" ffs ?
Tacitus didn't travel to most of the places he wrote about. You didn't have to march in soldiers to be an ethnographist.
Too has Tacitus finished the Annals in his marble mansion before you built that, maybe he would have mentioned it.
If development=building with stone then development can't be tied to Romans either, because the Egyptians had Pyramids over a thousand years before Tactitus, and the Romans copied their building tech.
Romans were liars, newgrange is as old as the pyramids
*ahem* sweaty Ireland too
this thread is just a mess where people vaguely imply that brits and central yuropoors are nordic, and then actual nordics like the finns are accused of not being nordic
there weren't any niggers in the north
Wood rots away, the nordic sagas are greater than the bible now fuck off southroon.
cope
If the Romans were so good why couldn't the conquer Ireland and the Nordic countries?
answer - they were afraid of the northern bvll
Based
Tacitus was talking about continental germanics and Danes, in the entire Germania he only mentions nordics in a couple sentences briefly describing the different tribes in Sweden
Its a good read btw, only like 200 pages too
Don't make me post my 1 million word nordic sagas again SOUTHROON!
>Romans were liars
Tacitus is a controversial historian to say the least.
Nice saga there in a Latin Alphabet.
france isnt northern europe and celts were civilized unlike g*rmanics
Because North Europe was colder than the Medieterranean.
>that plunged Europe into the dark ages
Christianity did that
It was written in latin copied from runes retard, latin script does not mean Christisb.
did they even know ireland existed? serious question, but just because it is there doesnt mean it is worth taking. They never went further into germania as there were no roads or cities or development of such things and already had problems with their expansion so there was no point
based retard cope
yes, the greeks explored northern Europe long before the romans
Ireland was named Hibernia in Greek meaning "land of winter"
The romans went no.further in germania because their armies were killed by hundreds of thousands of trained soldiers.
OP is talking shit.
Tacitus was mostly describing central europe
And both runes and latin script came from greek, which came from the phoenician alphabet(basically lebanese)
Shut up southroon, Ancient Greek writing predates existence of phoenicians.
Phoenician had no literature, no great arts, no great civilizations and were savage baby eating apes.
Wood is better than stone in cold climates
No...they did suffer some defeats but could have easily taken the area if they desired so after those. Germania was a backwards area with nothing much to offer except the people themselves. They would have to march in and defeat them, build up roads and cities across the large area, and all while probably facing protests and rebellions from those people as well, not worth it at the time
>No...they did suffer some defeats but could have easily taken the area if they desired so after those.
lolno
Runes = Buffoons
Ok Im actually gonna elaborate since I know you will respond. The roman empire was at their absolute height in 9CE when teutoburg happened, it was all slowly downhill from there and it happened not even 1/4rd into Germania. A large part of you seeing any success from romans early on was that they played politics and divide and conquer, they were scared shitless of germanic tribes unifying and that is also the reason why they switched to just defending the border after Teutoburg. Arminius actually sent the sewered head of Varus to the other most powerful chief of the germanics in hopes of forming an alliance, but he refused. If romans actually kept pushing you can be sure there would be a unifying movement in all of Germania
You mean phoenicians did
Massive cope
The problem with any of this is that the empire didnt just border Germania. If they had employed all of their force they would have massively smashed the tribes. But with such a large empire you cat just do that, it s not worth it
if they put their force behind it the romans would have taken germania
there was no benefit to doing so as it would be loss of many soldiers for some bit of land with not much development and difficult to farm soil
it is like Britain and the US revolution, they could have quelled it if they put more focus on it, but at a point it just isnt worth it
germoids have a small penis
>implying Romans had a massive amount of stone buildings before Augustus
The majority of the world used wood to build in that era, the absolute majority of Rome was built out of wood. How else was it supposed to have burned down multiple times
What is it with brainlets and worshipping stone works?
Exactly. Besides, they traded with the area as well, and know there wasnt much for them anyways. Unlike for example Egypt, which was richer than the peninsula itself and all the taxes it drew from other provinces
Imagine unironically losing more than 10 percent of your army in one battle
this is kino
tiny wooden huts with grass and dirt on top are not
If they put their full force behind it there would be revolts in other parts of the empire, its just not realistic

>*gets shot down by an arrow*
>*dies*
pffffft, why are building dwellers so pathetic and weak?
For a long time Italy was a backwards grugland too, it’s just that they were closer to the original source of civilization in the fertile crescent. By using your logic, the Romans were subhuman barbarians who copied the superior Greeks, and the Greeks were subhuman barbarians who copied Persia or whatever, and so on, until you arrive at the source of civilization, which would then be the only unsubhuman nonbarbarian people in existence.
Also, the «huts» in your image were not dwellings, they were storehouses used to store goods for shipping during medieval times and later.
>grug mad
All of Europe is still backwards grugland. All you've done is started wearing suits and outsourced your genocide.
Perhaps we are all grug and will be grug forever
Stone works are eternal.
You do realize that Arminius only managed to cause the Teutoburg betrayal due to the fact that the Romans made the mistake of trusting him, a Germanoid, in the first place... right?
Are you also not conveniently forgetting that in a revenge punitive expedition he got dabbed on so hard that the general leading said expedition gained the title "Germanicus" and only stopped short of conquering Germania because emperor Tiberius forbade it (most likely because the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze)? The same way Scipio gained the Title "Africanus" for dabbing on the Carthaginians and the same way a later Tiberius (not to be confused with the emperor Tiberius) gained the title Britanicus for dabbing on the Britons?
This wewuzzing of backwards savages living in mudhuts for inflicting one betrayal on the Romans that was more than repaid in blood is pathetic. Especially considering your "people" spent a thousand years cosplaying as the Romans.
The Romans already lost 20% of all their fighting age men in a single battle before and that didn't stop them. If there's anything the Romans were good at, it's not giving up.
lol nice cope novel, there was absolutely no way romans could ever conquer Germnia
