Thread was a thing of beauty. Northern Europeans can claim no continuity of civilization from the Greeks or the Romans. The civilizations in question would find such a notion ridiculousThe Greeks didn't even claim the Macedonians and they were notorious Egyptophiles and Herodotus claimed that the home of the Gods was located in Ethiopia.
Look up what the Romans thought of the Germans, Picts, Britons and the Celtic Druids that most of those racist fukks claim as ancestors, the Roman descriptions read like a "damn, bytch you live like this" meme. These people were literally pulled out of the mud through contact with several superior civilizations (Roman, Greek, Persian, Moslem, Carthraginian, Byzantine, Moorish, Egyptian) and it took thousands of years for them to independently develop civilizations. But they didn't even do that, just several successive cheap copy and pastes of Ancient Rome
They didn’t just do cheap copy & paste of Ancient Rome - they copied EVERYONE.
Most of the things people allude to ‘Science’ today are basically cheap copy/translation of ancient knowledge that they just discovered with better aesthetic.
shyts beautiful to see. Europeans didn't become civilized until Rome fell and took their foot their necks. The greeks invented the word or root word of "barbarian" to describe all non greeks. When the Romans took over, they almost exclusively used it to describe Northern European tribes.
