I have no idea if Domen is joking or not.

The alt history thread is that way --->

 

[Domen]

This is not alternative history, but real history.

The Huns made it most probably even to Skandinavia - check:

Lotte Hedeager, "Scandinavia and the Huns: An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Migration Era":

https://www.academia.edu/5352394/Sc...terdisciplinary_Approach_to_the_Migration_Era

Mrs Hedeager concludes: "the Huns, as a historical fact, made their way to Scandinavia in the early fifth century."

============================

As for the Hunnic king Balamber son of Liu, and his foreign wife - princess Wadamerca. There were most probably also other instances of the Huns taking foreign wifes from subjugated by them barbarian tribes. For example we know who was Atilla's father - he was Mundzuk (Μουνδίουχο&#962. However, Attila's mother is unknown by name. It is probable that she was some local female (perhaps Germanic), taken by an ethnic Hunnic king Mundzuk to be his wife.

But sources don't say anything about Mundzuk's wife (Attila's mother). About Balamber and Wadamerca writes Jordanes:

The Origin and Deeds of the Goths by Jordanes

(...) in the third battle, when they [the Huns and the Goths] met each other unexpectedly at the river named Erac, Balamber shot an arrow and wounded Vinitharius [Gothic king] in the head, so that he died. Then Balamber took to himself in marriage Vadamerca, the grand-daughter of Vinitharius, and finally ruled all the people of the Goths as his subjects (...)

Dynasties ruling barbarian kingdoms built on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire could be largely of ethnic Hunnic descent (in male lines).

I think we all feel the same.

That's the question i ask myself about every one of his posts.

Man, apparently CK2 fans have gotten into academia. Who would have known?

Sweden #1.

[Borachio]

Sweden #1.

When I think about it, I'm appalled.

It doesn't tell me what's meant by "rare", "problems still exist", "is still practiced", and "is limited illegal", though. So, I'm not sure how appalled I ought to be.

Perhaps I ought to be limitedly appalled, for all I know, instead of the frankly appalled I am at the moment.

6th century Schleswig-Holestein, pollen diagram (showing the level of human activity with plants = in fact population density):

Emigration of Angles and Jutes (to Britain), followed by immigration of Danes and Slavs (Slavs to eastern & central Holstein):

This depopulation also corresponds to the "year without a Summer" (536 AD), after which starvation & plague swept through Europe.

PS: this diagram should be read from the bottom to the top (chronologically the earliest time is at the bottom).

The best thing a woman can do is get on a boat.

That and those butterflies are bugging me.

Wonderful!

^^Most accurate chart on the thread.

 

[Samson]

Possibly the least accurate graphic in this thread so far, this is the Predicted winter surface temperature anomalies for the Northern Hemisphere in Dec-Jan-Feb 2014/2015, ie. how different from an average year the temperatures will be. An interesting view on the world, managing to get in everywhere you may be thinking about skiing in the next few months. Does not look good for the US west coast. More details here.
