[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7489703, member: 58172"] The Nordic countries value their own Nordic sacred traditions. This is appropriate and healthy. Even today, they maintain literacy in their sacred texts, often immersion. Relatedly, Nordic countries continue to experience reverence for nature. The Norse are the aborigines of Scandinavia, evidencing distinctive Nordic material cultures since the Stone Age. Since that time, the consensus of archeologists from all nations, agree. Since the Stone Age, there has never been a significant migration from today Germany into Scandinavia. Likewise, there has never been a significant migration from Scandinavia into Germany. These are separate cultures. Any shared points of contact result from cultural diffusion. In other words, these are separate ethnic groups who gradually, mutually, influence each other. Moreover, the Norse language and the Scandinavian languages today appear to evolve internally since the Stone Age, within the Nordic Stone Age culture, then Nordic Bronze Age culture, then Nordic Iron Age culture, eventuating in the Norse of the Viking Period. Currently, the prevailing archeological view believes that, during the Stone Age, contact with Corded Ware material culture introduced a ‘Pre-Germanic’ Indo-European language. This particular branch of the culture comes out of today Russia, Belarus, the Baltics, and Poland, and probably from the Baltics, enters Sweden where it evolves differently becoming the distinctive Nordic Battle-Axe material culture that buries their dead individually and ceremonially with a distinctive stone battle-axe status symbol. A number of Stone Age petroglyphs refer to this battle-axe in their iconography. This Battle-Axe culture integrated peacefully, and it is the aboriginal Nordic hunter-gatherers who developed its distinctive features, in continuity from earlier stoneworking culture. They welcomed the cattle-herding techniques that Battle-Axe culture brought with it. Archeologists associate Battle-Axe culture with both the Indo-European language and the immigration of the East European genepool (yDNA R1a-1a and R1a-1), making R1a one of the four modal haplogroups of Nordic aborigines. And thats it. That was the Stone Age. Since the Stone Age, Nordic ethnicity just evolved differently. [/QUOTE]
