The first “Mooning” in recorded history was 66 AD, where a Roman solider mooned Jewish pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. This caused a riot, an over-response by the Roman military, and the death of thousands.

Finland actually had a kingdom in prehistoric times. The Wikipedia article is Svecoman propaganda though.

>Before the Viking Era, in the 400-700s, Finland was considerably strong and independent, for example what can be seen from the weapons and jewelry. In addition, Finland seems to have had quite direct and stable connections to the Baltic countries and Central Europe, and of course to the related tribes in the east.
>In the Orkeyinga and Hversu Noregr bygdistí (How Norway was inhabited) sagas in Flateyjarbókí from the 1100s it is presented that Suomi (Finland) and Kainuu (Kvenland) were a kind of basic kingdom of the whole North, from which the kingdoms of both Norway and Denmark were established, and additionally many kings and especially queens were delivered to reign in Sweden.
>The family tree of the king of Finland and Kvenland, Fornjotr (Old Jotun), is presented in its most full form in Orkneyinga saga chapter Fundinn Noreg (Finding Norway), published in Finnish in the book ‘Kvenland’ by Kyösti Julku and ‘Phases of Finland, Livland and Kurland’ by Johannes Messenius. Most of the names can be found also in Hversu Noregr bygdisti and some of the names in Historia Norwegiae from the end of 1100s.
>The Germanic literature is mentioning Finns starting from the 600s. The oldest source, Widsith from the 600s, lists out tens of Migration period kings from the 400-500s. It mentions: Caesare weold Graecum, ond Caelic Finnum” * ”Caesar (translators note: emperor, not J.C) reigned Greeks and Caelic the Finns”. The well-known academic Kustaa Vilkuna thought that Caelic was gothic version from word 'Kaleva' (Gothic ending –ik).
