Shhh, quiet there, white mongol.

I agree.
So many things wrong with how they were portrayed. For one thing they werent white, they were mixed race.

>1. Vikings Visited Africa
The Viking ships are renowned for their long voyages. These ships allowed the Vikings to travel as far east as Constantinople and the Volga River in Russia, as far west as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland, and as far south as Morocco. Maps of the Viking travels show them stopping in North Africa. The black African tribes were mainly in subsaharan Africa, but trade routes were common. While the Vikings were mainly traders, they would sometimes take people as soldiers, slaves or wives. Some Vikings had "jungle-fever."

>2. Some Vikings Are Described as Black
There's a rather controversial article at Rasta Livewire that suggests that all Vikings were black. This is based on historical descriptions of the people. I'm not going that far, but at least some of them must have been black.

>3. Black Asgardians Could Be Moors
The Moors were the medieval Muslim inhabitants of Morocco. In the movie The Long Ships (1964) Sidney Poitier played a Moor, named Aly Mansuh, who worked with a Norse king to find a treasure. We know that the Vikings encountered the Moors, who were black. See there could be a Moor among the Vikings.

They were terrible, lad.
They weren't known as feared warriors to anyone who wasn't a shit-dwelling peasant who couldn't defend himself or a church-dwelling monk who wasn't allowed to.

To Kings and Commanders, Vikings were annoying little cunts no different to rats feeding on carrion.

It wasn't a "SIR!! THE VIKINGS HAVE COME! ALERT THE NATION!!"

It was a "God fucking damn it Sven would you just fuck off already you annoying little cunt"

Even in fucking IRELAND, the bogniggers dispatched Vikings with ease and efficiency.

Also

>Vikings

The only ones that were Vikings were the ones that went on raids. "Viking" isn't just a term for snow-niggers.

Honestly, Swede, it must be fucking humiliating that the proudest, most nationalistic point in your history is a bunch of pale apes bickering over which patch of tundra-ridden shithole was rightfully theirs, and which faggot got to go and "raid" some poorly defended faggots along the coasts.

>MUH VIKING INVASION

All it took to rid the developed world of Norse was a fielded army, something that Norsefags never, ever, ever got the hang of.

No self-respecting white man would ever want to come from Vikings, because Vikings represent the destruction and corruption of everything white people created in Europe, aka, the civilized world.

Snow niggers stay in fucking Scandinavia, your legacy is to prove to Europe just how cucked a country can become.

Pyramids before King Rameses I and II were built by citizens of Egypt as slavery was near non-existant in Egypt before Rameses 1 & 2.

Half a year was dedicated to harvesting. Crops, animals, basically crafting things and acquiring food. The second half was spent building the pyramids. Citizens did this, not slaves. And whatever wages they may or may not have gotten from a days work of pyramidbuilding would be minor.

>>79391991
Friendly Reminder.

One of the first slave owners in the US to permanently own slaves was a black man by the name of Anthony Johnson, who was previously an indentured servant himself.

He is not recognized for this in any way by the black community, but by the fact that he owned a lot of land and was a good business man, his owning and use of slaves is completely and utterly ignored.

The US also had white indentured servants and slaves as well.

Ancient Egypt goes from their founding all the way to 30BC when the last Pharaoh Cleopatra dies.

Modern Egypt is once the Ptolemaic Dynasty has been destroyed due to Cleopatra's actions and Pharaoh's ceasing to be. Which there are currently a large number of black people within Modern Egypt, as well as Middle Eastern and White people.

As for Ancient Egypt, the thing Blacks and many people always bring up, there was never a concrete set of Black Pharaohs, especially those that constructed many of the Monuments.

Its not back pedaling, its a history lesson, so sit down and listen.

"Vikings" are one of the most grossly misrepresented historical culture in the media. Viking was just a thing you MIGHT do every few years; it wasn't really at the heart of it all. They were primarily merchants, explorers and relatively egalitarian compared to most other groups back then. The way being a Freeman worked and how that was important to the Things* which could be both local, regional and "national" reminds more of ancient Greece than the early feudalism of the continent (which never did spread to the Scandinavian peninsula). They also didn't dress like early medieval bikers or metalheads.

*The Things were primitive democratic councils in which every Freeman had a vote, though it would often align with their respective chief. In the case of the children of thralls; they were nominally free but were bound by honour to vote in line with their parents' master.

"Vikings" aka Norsemen, Northmen, or Normans are glorified, because they started off in one of the harshest environments (although no diseases and venomous animals) and were forced to survived without alot of sun and from fishing (little farming).

These peasants would build ships and raid in the off season. Not any major battles, just small fast raids and then left with slaves and loot.

Eventually these strategies and tactics developed into major invasions culminating in the conquest of parts of Europe.

Not only that, but they traded and explored everywhere. From the New World, to the Volga, to the middle East/Med. They were verywhere.

Lastly, they were being so successful after centuries, that they started to overpopulate and were forced to send their warriors/adventurers everywhere. The famous Varangians in Byzantium were an example of how far these brave would travel from home to make a living.

All of that being said, they were ruthless, cunning and violent drunkards with little love for the arts and science.

>>79392211
Yes, the good old Nubian Dynasty, lets talk of them.

The first being Piye, who had no true control over Egypt at all despite his conquest of Memphis and Hermopolis. In fact Egyptian Kings were allowed to do whatever they pleased which included going against him, one of which was Tefnakt. It wasn't until Shabaka, his successor that this was rectified.

Even then, they still lacked true power the entirety of Egypt, so much so that they would eventually be overthrown due to incompetence against the Assyrians. Their rain lasting a whopping 65 years, among 6 or so Pharaohs, due to hatred against them.

Also don't bring up the Sudan Moroe Pyramids, those are in Sudan, not Egypt, and were constructing centuries before they ever even thought of control of Egypt, if you even want to call them having much control to begin with. Nubian "Pharaohs" were more akin to Vassal Kings or Feudal Lords than they were actual Pharaohs.

The thing that grates me about the whole "blacks ruled Egypt" debate is the way african-americans have hijacked it.

They were fucking Nubians. The african-americans of the US are probably all descendants of lesser tribes in West Africa. Shit, Nubians would've probably been the slaver kind of african people rather than the slaves.

They were no doubt lesser tribes controlled by Angolans. There is zero point to the majority of blacks in the US saying they came from Egypt. Why the fuck would you go across an entire continent just for slaves?
