It will be :)

I agree. Both sides of my family came from Denmark and I know I don’t feel like a barbarian. Skilled in trades but ready to defend my home should anyone wish to push us.

Hi. I've wondered the EXACT same thing. Was the creation story a spoken word retelling of once witnessed events? The story of the death of Ymir (or at least what Odin etc. did to his body) sounds suspiciously like a description of the effects of retreating glaciation.

@@starrcitizenalpha7847 that story of Ymir sounds nothing like a glacier retreating

@@starrcitizenalpha7847 you can't make land with glaciers and glaciers don't have children with themselves

​@@Texasmade74 Hi, Warren. Many geographical features (rocks, mountains, clouds etc.) can have anthropomorphic features, that is to say they can resemble aspects of the human form. For example, I live in Southern Tasmania and we have a mountain range called "Sleeping Beauty", so named because its superficially resembles the profile of a woman lying on her back, and was of importance to the local Aboriginal population. With respect to glaciers having "children", glacial fronts don't always retreat at the same rate, thus a single front can, over time, appear to become many, particularly if there are underlying mountains, valleys etc. So, yeah, "children" are a thing... The bodily parts of Ymir are all easily explained by the anatomy of glacial retreat: Flesh=uncovered earth, Blood=glacial meltwaters, Bones=uncovered mountains, Teeth=moraine, Hair=vegetation regrowth and Brain=increased atmospheric water forming mists and clouds due to a warming atmosphere. As far as we know, our Ice Age ancestors were not literate and thus relied on spoken word tradition to pass on history to their young, so the idea that these belief systems are based on ancient eyewitness accounts of the retreat of the last great ice shields in Northern Europe/Asia isn't such a stretch. Indeed, the Australian Aboriginals inhabiting the top end of the Northern Territory still have accounts of the first person to set foot on the Australian mainland many thousands of years ago, apparently it was a young woman with her baby. I do not mean to be disrespectful, however, if you can't conceive how, to a paleolithic ice age population, retreating ice shields revealing mountains and valleys could be interpreted as "creating" Earth, then that probably says something more about your cognitive abilities and imagination than it does about the ideas of myself and others. I suggest that if you feel inclined to make such "authoritative" statements, at least make some effort explain how you have come to such a conclusion.

@@starrcitizenalpha7847 first off if your going to try tell me I'm being authoritative then turn around just to do what you accused me off then at least be fucking familiar with Old Norse religion.Then on top of that these people weren't Paleolithic wtf...try bronze age and iron age both are absolutely not prehistoric at all
