Nov 18, 2008 - First my point wasn't "strictly" pointed at Russia. However, you bring up another point. What you're saying is that Russians AREN'T DECENDANTS OF THE SLALIV TRIBES. I thought they were present as a recognizable group around 7 Cent. A.D unlike Rurik who was present in 9 Cent. A.D.

LackOfAnatomy Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Russians are decendants of slavic tribes, however, the ones who made their country were not. There was even a swedish bloodline within the Tsar-family that lasted until the 15th century.

eggsandwich8885 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - So Russians are Slav, so to speak, and not Viking. Now that the the Szar family has despanded. Again, thanks for making my point for me. I wasn't talking "strictly" of Russia itself, by the way. = )

Nov 18, 2008 - Your all wrong. Rurik was a Dane. Not a Swede.

eggsandwich8885 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - No I'm not?! "They" were wrong, that wasn't my point, to begin with?!

dani4leif2 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - okæi sorry. My comment were actually to those who commented you. And actually it's unknown where Rurik comes from. But sources point that he would either be a Dane or a Swede, but most sources and believes point that he was a Dane.

Nov 18, 2008 - A roman historian made this. "More civilized lands". Spoken like a true romen. Well we still have germanic law, not Romen. Why the democracy works so well in scandinavia,

dani4leif2 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - we all know that the most badass vikings came from Denmark ;)

kormakurp Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Russia is the ancestor of all western european people. Migration came from Eastern Europe to Western europe.

eggsandwich8885 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - No, you're wrong...Africa is the ancestor of all European people.(Metaphoricly speaking) ; ).

svenskiusa224 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - u fucken wish, they all came from sweden and norway

dani4leif2 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Sweden? lol there is found no long ship in Sweden. And the largest long ships are found in Denmark. Norwegians were not really warriors as Danes, more like settlers.Danes were the only real viking warriors. Raided britian, France Germany etc. The whole western europe, down to north Africa.

Nov 18, 2008 - Danes where the weak vikings! when they needed help from the faroese to beat the Norwegians learn about the history before you learn other ppl about it!!you dont even have 10 story's about the the old age... ups ?? isent it kinda sad that The Mighty Danes need help from faroese ? and grim as is told in the story! grimur kamban ! who lived in the faroe islands

dani4leif2 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Faroese were not vikings at all. They were just refugees from Norway and Ireland. Setled down on some empty islands with no trees and raining all the time. Isolated from others.Danes were the far most succesful and badass vikings.

omfgasheep Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - ohh really?the history doesn't say the same!uhh you have Holger Danske! BTW he is lame!and thats the only viking you probably know about!so shut the fuck up! you know that any faroese person can kick your sorry little ass! and thats because we have vikingblood in our vains! and we are a proud nation! thats not the same i can tell about danemark! i lived there for 8 years.. and that worst years in my life! that reminds me! in olavsoga i kicked 3 daneish ppls ass and they fled 2 DK.. poor

dani4leif2 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - History? Faroe islands? :S. I don't know it really.Faroese have celtic blood. Danes are the real vikings, history sources tell that.All farose i have met, always seems like a totally loser.You have never kicked any person hahaha. Only internetlosers like you, wanna lie about stuff like the on internet. That's makes you feel better.As i've said before. Faroese are known as losers here in Denmark.

omfgasheep Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - so you dont think that i ever been 2 a fight ?i guess you have arto ask Dj-Mindscape or DonSpirthey have seen me fighting!

holycattle Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - yeah...NO. The reason Europeans-whites in general-are called Caucasian, are because when early humans left africa(in respect to eggsandwhich8885)a group branched off and crossed the Caucassus mountain range. Yes, the mountain range is in Modern day russia, and former soviet states, but that dosnt mean were from russia.

holycattle Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - WOAH! Excuse Me!Danes have only accomplished 2 things- the least of ANY of the vikings: 1-founded Dublin, Ireland. 2- established and setteled the London area of EnglandThe Norwegians 1 - laid seige to Paris, a mighty power in Europe at the time. The Dauphin actually paid the vikings to leave Paris alone, but they were allowed to pillage the area, unconditionally.2- Settled and founded Iceland, Greenland, Vinland, and raided as far south as Spain and Sicilly.

joonte1010 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - The Swedes.Laid siege on the most powerfull ciy in the world at that time (Constantinopel).2.Created great Realms in the East and brought home much treasures, And explored far east in to Asia.

joonte1010 Says:
