Please tell me about the acient finns.
What were they like? Hunters?
How was Finland before swedish intervention?
Were there are finnish cities before the swedes came in?

On the other hand, in respect to social organization, the Finns lagged behind their western neighbors. It was in the eleventh century, at the latest, that the Scandinavian peoples formed into three kingdoms. No unified state evolved among the Finnish tribes. Within the framework of smaller areas, however, measures of social organization were taken for the supervision of religious rites, the administration of justice, and defense against aggressors. Evidence of such defense measures are the ancient fortresses, numbering about ninety, which consisted of rocky slopes reinforced by constructions of stone and wood without masonry. With the possible exception of the fortress of Rapola, in Tavastia, they were no permanently manned but were used as places of refuge when there was the threat of an enemy attack. Fires lit by sentries on top of the fortified hills swiftly spread the alarm to all the men of the region to take up arms against an approaching foe. The unbroken system of signal stations formed by the fortified hills of Tavastia testifies to the fact that the tribal region represented the degree of political and military organization to which ancient Finnish society attained.

Saamis were IDENTICAL to the Inuit before the white Finns and Swedes raped them, yes. All the old photos of Saami from 150 years ago proves they were once red.
>>68333591
Samis were always Finno-Ugrian
>>68333591

>>68333568
Generally speaking, they are still not that white yet. Look at the northern part of Fennoscandia
i honestly know nothing about ancient finns
expect they had some nature gods
tapio=forest god
ahti=water god
näkki=water devil
ukko=thunder and supergod (finnish word ukkonen means thunder)
and they used to hunt seals and chop chop trees all the day
>>68333721
get your facts straight
>>68333727
Tell me about actual finns.
>>68333728
what were they doing during the time of the roman empire?
>>68333639
No they weren't. They were literally identical to Native Americans culturally and genetically. The only reason they look white today and speak a Finnic language is due to rape and colonization by Finns and Swedes.
>>68333839
Got something to proof that silly statement?
Finns and Saamis share pretty much culturally
>>68333839
They don't even speak Finnic language today.
Pic related shows Finnic languages. Whatever the Sami speak, it's not part of the group.
>>68333728
here you go lad
>>68333873
Look at the old pictures of the Sea Saami. They are clearly Native American-looking.
>>68333968
Also, Christmas was stolen from the Saami.

Finns and Saami peoples shares common ancestory which split somewhere 3000 years ago

The point is, "Santa Claus" was plagiarized from the Saami and the real Santa would have looked identical to an Eskimo.
