He can't understand 1000 years old texts written in his """"""""""language""""""""""

Dante was only 700 years ago sadly

>What you can read in a few centuries in English, invention of electricity, calculus, steam engine engineering, tank creation, airplane, invention of combustion, car, refridgeator, evolution, medicine, anti biotics, agricultural science

List goes on and on

The fucking fr*nch ruined our great language.

you guys had text messaging 1000 years ago?

The cope is real, my friends.

I can, it's just incredibly tiresome and the stories suck ass.

>tis but a scratch
>teacher has to tell the class he died because its not mentioned

>Invention of computers, internet, mobile phones, phones, smartphones, wifi, radio, electromagnetic forces, nuclear energy, solar power, genetics, biology, anatomy, cloning

This isn't true though, no one speaks Quranic Arabic, you all speak your shitty dialects which all qualify as their own langauge.

>STEM shit

lmao

would a greek of 1000 years ago recognize a greek of the 21st century? language notwithstanding

hmm

The oldest Portuguese documents I've read were around ~500 years old, the language was a mess of Spanish-Portuguese mixing and everyone wrote in a different way since there were no official standard grammar rules. The hardest part is making out their shitty handwriting.

>why yes i can understand medieval galician

Shit like EM forces, combustion and evolution aren't inventions, but natural phenomena. And shit like anatomy, medicine and agricultural science existed since ancient times.

Cantico delle Creature by S. Francesco is almost 800 years old though.

>1000 years old texts written in his """"""""""language""""""""""
LMAO FUCKING BOOMER CIVILIZATION

yes, also greek mythology

what is my ancient texts?

The Bible actually happened.

>agricultural science existed since ancient times.
Science means you're using the scientific method or concepts of empirical learning. Perpetuating a few vague traditions without understanding isn't science, it's religion and culture.
Antiquity didn't even figure out sea shell fertilizer despite fucking living by the sea for 10000 years

I can understand the Bible from 600 BC :) and can kind of understand other old shit etc because some of things are similar

science just means searching for knowledge

Perpetuating a few vague traditions without understanding isn't science, it's religion and culture.

THE POETIC EDDA
VOLUME I
LAYS OF THE GODS

At the beginning of the collection in the Codex Regius stands the Voluspo, the most famous and important, as it is likewise the most debated, of all the Eddic poems. Another version of it is found in a huge miscellaneous compilation of about the year 1300, the Hauksbok, and many stanzas are included in the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturluson. The order of the stanzas in the Hauksbok version differs materially from that in the Codex Regius, and in the published editions many experiments have been attempted in further rearrangements. On the whole, how ever, and allowing for certain interpolations, the order of the stanzas in the Codex Regius seems more logical than any of the wholesale "improvements" which have been undertaken.

The general plan of the Voluspo is fairly clear. Othin, chief of the gods, always conscious of impending disaster and eager for knowledge, calls on a certain "Volva," or wise-woman, presumably bidding her rise from the grave. She first tells him of the past, of the creation of the world, the beginning of years, the origin of the dwarfs (at this point there is a clearly interpolated catalogue of dwarfs' names, stanzas 10-16), of the first man and woman, of the world-ash Yggdrasil, and of the first war, between the gods and the Vanir, or, in Anglicized form, the Wanes. Then, in stanzas 27-29, as a further proof of her wisdom, she discloses some of Othin's own secrets and the details of his search for knowledge.

science is older than empiricism you twat, stop conflating everything into the scientific method

1. Hearing I ask | from the holy races,
From Heimdall's sons, | both high and low;
Thou wilt, Valfather, | that well I relate
Old tales I remember | of men long ago.

2. I remember yet | the giants of yore,
Who gave me bread | in the days gone by;
Nine worlds I knew, | the nine in the tree
With mighty roots | beneath the mold.
3. Of old was the age | when Ymir lived;
Sea nor cool waves | nor sand there were;
Earth had not been, | nor heaven above,
But a yawning gap, | and grass nowhere.

4. Then Bur's sons lifted | the level land,
Mithgarth the mighty | there they made;
The sun from the south | warmed the stones of earth,
And green was the ground | with growing leeks.

5. The sun, the sister | of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast | over heaven's rim;
No knowledge she had | where her home should be,
The moon knew not | what might was his,
The stars knew not | where their stations were.
6. Then sought the gods | their assembly-seats,
The holy ones, | and council held;
Names then gave they | to noon and twilight,
Morning they named, | and the waning moon,
Night and evening, | the years to number.

7. At Ithavoll met | the mighty gods,
Shrines and temples | they timbered high;
Forges they set, and | they smithied ore,
Tongs they wrought, | and tools they fashioned.

8. In their dwellings at peace | they played at tables,
Of gold no lack | did the gods then know,--
Till thither came | up giant-maids three,
Huge of might, | out of Jotunheim.

9. Then sought the gods | their assembly-seats,
The holy ones, | and council held,
To find who should raise | the race of dwarfs
Out of Brimir's blood | and the legs of Blain.

10. There was Motsognir | the mightiest made
Of all the dwarfs, | and Durin next;
Many a likeness | of men they made,
The dwarfs in the earth, | as Durin said.

>presumably bidding her rise from the grave
This is what I'm talking about. There is so much context and implications it has to be read with commentary.

If Yahweh is all knowing how come his people knew nothing about the world and the sons of Óðinn discovered more than he knew?

Are you mentally ill?

Sure. I can't get any good bagels out here in California.

Is that a rhetorical question?

People here don't appreciate what they got. I work in a food pantry and we get free local bagels, pretty good, and the poor and homeless people still don't take them. Mind boggling

Possibly, I shouldn't be bullying the mentally ill ones however

Are you mentally ill?

i unironically have the poetic edda book and i got to admit from the 100~ pages ive read i dont remember anything its hard to make sense out of any of it havamal is probably the only poem collection worth reading because its highly applicable

That's insane.

Why would you a mentally Ill individual try to call someoe else mentally Ill?
Have you clasped your hands together and try to speak to a semitic fiction vook character lately?

I understand you're new, both to Jow Forums and English. Just save this thread so in six (6) months you can open it again and cringe at your mentally ill shitposting.

Take your meds schizo tree whisperer

>Anglo's seething
Yeah I am. Old English was so beautiful until the fucking frogs fucked it all up.

Still counts, sorry

cope

English language is shit. It's a Germanic language with 65-70 % Latin words kek. I think 50 years more of French domination over the islands and the English would be speaking French today. It's interesting nonetheless, a language so close to be replaced, a languague whose vocabulary superstratum has been totally replaced by French but that still managed to survive, in extremis. Though a very ugly language with over-simplified grammar, a key feature of pudgins
