Interesting, I was just joking with you after a google search yielded unrelated results.

Care to explain what Thule is?

>>48589507
Googling Thule gave you nothing? I mean I was joking as well, but just toyed with the idea that Thule might have been that larger iceland we can see there.
Just from wiki:
>Thule (Greek: Θούλη, Thoúlē; Latin: Thule, Tile)[1] was a far-northern location in classical European literature and cartography. Though often considered to be an island in antiquity, modern interpretations of what was meant by Thule often identify it as Norway,[2][3] an identification supported by modern calculations.[4] Other interpretations include Orkney, Shetland, and Scandinavia. In the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, Thule was often identified as Iceland or Greenland. Another suggested location is Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea.[5][6][7] The term ultima Thule in medieval geographies denotes any distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world".[citation needed] Sometimes it is used as a proper noun (Ultima Thule) as the Latin name for Greenland when Thule is used for Iceland.[8]
Though it doesn't say anything about Blavatsky locating this isle as the origin of the ancient aryan people, which was partly picked up by the later national socialists.

But I didn't want to make this thread about nazi stuff.

They even looked different. Without a massive influx of Korean and Han immigrants the Bronze Age Japs kept a lot of the Ainu traits

I know it has become a new-age meme recently, but Hindu mythology is amazing inspiration, especially if you're going for a pseudo-sci-fi type setting a la Dune.

hawaiian as well, and some of the more war-mongering pacific islanders have some crazy fuck battle stories
