03 Just like with the legends of the Goths and Swiss, the Lombard migration is strikingly similiar to the migrations of other Germanics.
This further shows that we Germanics are one family that simply moved out from our homeland into various parts of the world, like when the children becomes adults and moves out to get a place of their own.
Genetic studies of Lombard remains also confirms the Lombards being Scandinavian and also homogenous.

04 ᚠ Lombards(Longbeards) were a Germanic tribe that originated from Scandinavia. We know that they lived in Denmark and Northern Germany until they would migrate south during the Migration Period, when the winters grew colder and widespread famine became common throughout Scandinavia.
The Lombards would become known for their successful invasion of the Roman Empire and conquering Italy, forming the Lombard Kingdom of Italy. Their reign would become loved by both it’s Germanic but also it’s Roman inhabitants. Even today the mark of the Lombards can be noticed in Italy, specifically in Northern Italy where one of their northern regions(Lombardy) is named after the Lombards as well as Germanic DNA and Germanic features being alot more frequent in Northern Italy.
They are also credited for the early development of the artstyle that would combine both Germanic and Roman artstyles, ”Romanesque”. Which in turn would evolve into Gothic, which is one of the most famous, loved and iconic artstyles of Europe. | 49 | 1 | Loading... |

09 "Eigener Herd ist Goldes wert" - German proverb
The English meaning is close to 'there is no place like home'. Literal translation is 'your own hearth is worth gold'.

10 What's the deal with patrilineality in ancient Europe, and how can we see it in the archaelogical record?
Patrilineality is a kinship system whereby an individual's family membership derives from the father's direct paternal lineage. A bit like today where you have your dad's last name!
Well, we can tell that our ancestors were patrilineal by their burials and DNA. One of the most exemplary examples of this comes from Neolithic Ireland, with the Newgrange megalithic tomb. The man buried inside belonged to Y-DNA lineage I2a, a Western Hunter-Gatherer lineage.
Despite the Newgrange elite's overall autosomal ancestry being inherited from Anatolian Farmers and roughly a quarter from the Western Hunter-Gatherers, his phenotypic traits (specifically his complexion) resembled that of his hunter-gatherer ancestors due to him being the result of an incestuous relationship as a means of preserving this archaic trait.
We see this in Neolithic Denmark as well, with sample NEO792 from the Allentoft paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06862-3) being 85% Western Steppe Herder in overall ancestry but his Y-DNA lineage was I2a-S2703. A Funnelbeaker Early European Farmer subclade of Western Hunter-Gatherer origin.
NEO792 was buried in a megalithic tomb, not a burial mound, and carried mt-DNA U2e2a1, a Western Steppe Herder derived female lineage. This means that despite NEO792 indirectly inheriting the majority of his overall ancestry from Western Steppe Herders, he was likely aware of his direct paternal heritage going back to his Funnelbeaker farmer male ancestors, and was given a special megalithic tomb in the same way.
This would be like a guy today who is 85% French and 15% Danish with a Danish male line, specifically choosing to be buried with a Danish burial rite and having a Danish identity and culture. Fascinating, isn't it? As more work is done to uncover the archaelogical history of ancient Europe, it is becoming increasingly more complex (See more on this here: https://t.me/thechadpastoralist/2610) | 1 | 0 | Loading... |
11 The Iron Age cultures ancestral to the Germanic peoples, I'd say, evolved from Neolithic and Bronze Age longhouse societies.
In the Neolithic era, Europeans lived in clan-based agricultural societies, where patrilocal clan chiefs controlled farms near resources like flint and fertile soil, leading to conflicts between rival clans (Violence in the Neolithic: https://t.me/thechadpastoralist/2268?single)
By the Nordic Bronze Age, longhouses were central to society, and technological advancements like bronze weaponry, long-distance trade with Greece and Mesopotamia, and seafaring vessels only strengthened the power of local chiefs.
This societal structure in the North European Plain and Scandinavia persisted through the Pre-Roman Iron Age and into the Viking Age, with Viking royal dynasties likely emerging from Vendel era warlords expanding their territories after returning home from their service in the Roman Foederati. | 1 | 0 | Loading... |

13 "Tradition is the everlasting memory of mankind; remembering the great lessons of its past, storing them up in the mind of man, until they become instinctive, even as the half-conscious knowledge of the beast is stored as a protection from danger."

14 John Wheeldon The Rat Catcher. Better known as John Gaunt.
John lived in Sawmills, England but worked for the Midland Railway Company, as a rat catcher. What's interesting is that he trained foxes to help him catch rats, and he believed they were better at it than dogs because they could hold more rats in their mouths at once.
Catching rats with foxes was tricky because foxes didn't kill the rats right away like terriers did. Unfortunately, his two best foxes were accidentally killed by gamekeepers.
He became very famous all over the country for his unique job, and someone even wrote about him in a book, calling him a great sportsman and a great Englishman.
He passed away at the age of 73 in November 1924 while staying at a friend's house in Belper. He was buried in the Crich churchyard. He was also known for being a member of the Ambergate Cottage Garden Society and winning prizes for his gardening. 🏴

15 I’ve been reading through many of the posts concerning the images of the two Cavalry horses who were spooked and run amok in London.
It’s easy to see why many regard this an omen and most will assume this an ill fated one. But symbolism works on many levels and can mean one thing to some and the opposite to others.
These two London horses could symbolise the bleeding of the English nation, but could equally represent the spirits of Hengest (Stallion) and Horsa (Horse) who won us our nation. The heraldry of the German town of Bünde shows Hengest and Horsa as one being dark haired, the other fair and many regard Hengest and Horsa as Divine Horse Twins. They won a great battle against the Britons at Aegelsthrep (Aylesford) and whilst Horsa died and is buried at the White Horse Stone, Hengest went on to create the English kingdom of Kent.
As with many of these omens, it is perhaps only through hindsight we will know its meaning. | 249 | 3 | Loading... |

18 Each god has a specific cultic reality that is inherent and unique to them, and the divine narratives of each god reflects this principle.
This is what leads to the development of the different traditions, mythic cycles, and cults throughout history. | 221 | 0 | Loading... |
