Have you heard about the kings of Finland? According to the theories the Finns were the original people of Northern Europe that lived in the ancient kingdom of Finland, spanning all the way from Norway to what we now call Kazakhstan. Among other things the theories posit that Sweden, Norway, Normandy, and Russia were created by Finnish kings. The researchers base their claims on the fact that many historical figures and texts have provenly spoken about Finland as a kingdom.
Among other things Catherine the Great wrote in German at least one work where she described Rurik, her viking ancestor and the founder of Russia, as a Finnish Varangian. Many historians also wrote about Finland as an ancient kingdom. The most notable of these is maybe Muhammad al-Idrisi, a historian from the world's oldest university. In addition there are Icelandic sagas that tell about the adventures of Finnish kings. Though sagas are shrouded in myth and fantasy their roots were in historical events. There has also been archeological finds in Finland and Karelia of coins depicting unknown kings.
These Finnish king researchers posit that this history has been systematically destroyed as a political weapon against Finns to destroy our sense of identity and make it easier for the surrounding powers to culturally and politically invade us.
Have you heard about this before and what are your thoughts on it?

Too bad she was German.

Fun fact I learned in an American history class: Finns also colonized America. The colony of New Sweden used mainly Finnish colonists, since it was deemed that the people accustomed to the more wooded terrain of Finland would thrive in the vast forests of North America. Most people associate the log cabin with the United States, since it is a highly patriotic symbol here. But, the design actually came from the original Finnish settlers, and since it built a strong and sturdy house, the design spread throughout British North America.
