The English and the Celts - no genocide?
#97
Quote:I find it odd that all those who see these folks taking to their ships when their fields get wet, never even assume that these folks would look for higher ground first, instead of seeking out a hostile island that was even more prone to flooding! :lol:
After all, we see the first traces of these migrants all along the coast – not just British, but also Gallic shores. Strange, if you’re fleeing from the flood. Aren’t we just looking at migrants who seek out new shores for altogether different reasons, as the Vikings did later?

I see your Irony, but...
And I don´t think they fled from a flood.
In fact it is quite resonably for this people to take to the sea. The inland of scandinavia was Taiga forrest. Not fun to get into. Not even today. It´s huge! Goes on for hundreds of hundreds of miles. And the connection to neighbours where quite often only by sea. That´s why Finland and Sweden have more in common in many ways than Sweden and Norway.

Just a pointer but not a statement in the ongoing discution...
