DNA recovered from archeological site in Germany reveals that Bronze Age Poles and Scandinavians clashed in battles the size of the Trojan war in an area north of Berlin. This scale of social organization was not thought to exist in Northern Europe at the time. There are no written records of who these groups were or why they fought, but there is evidence that they were all professional soldiers with an officer corps.
Imagine if the Greeks had never recorded the Trojan war...

this is when the germanic goths subjugated the indigenous slavic tribes

how do you know that? The slavs killed many germanics and it was not a one way street.

The article says 3200 YEARS AGO not 3200 B.C. , pretty bad reading comprehension. Typical American reads at 4th grade level?
I'm sorry, not 4th grade, 7-8th grade.
>The 15% figure for full literacy, equivalent to a university undergraduate level, is consistent with the notion that the "average" American reads at a 7th or 8th grade level
Maybe practice reading more and posting less.
>“Most people thought ancient society was peaceful, and that Bronze Age males were concerned with trading and so on,” says Helle Vandkilde, an archaeologist at Aarhus University in Denmark. “Very few talked about warfare.”
>At the time of the battle, northern Europe seems to have been devoid of towns or even small villages. As far as archaeologists can tell, people here were loosely connected culturally to Scandinavia and lived with their extended families on individual farmsteads, with a population density of fewer than five people per square kilometer. The closest known large settlement around this time is more than 350 kilometers to the southeast, in Watenstedt. It was a landscape not unlike agrarian parts of Europe today, except without roads, telephones, or radio.
>And yet chemical tracers in the remains suggest that most of the Tollense warriors came from hundreds of kilometers away.
>As University of Aarhus’s Vandkilde puts it: “It’s an army like the one described in Homeric epics, made up of smaller war bands that gathered to sack Troy”—an event thought to have happened fewer than 100 years later, in 1184 B.C.E. That suggests an unexpectedly widespread social organization, Jantzen says. “To organize a battle like this over tremendous distances and gather all these people in one place was a tremendous accomplishment,” he says.
>“Around 1200 B.C.E. there’s a radical change in the direction societies and cultures are heading,” Vandkilde says. “Tollense fits into a period when we have increased warfare everywhere.”
Sounds like a bunch of statist pigs invading peaceful traders! REEEEEEEEEEE
>Ancient DNA could potentially reveal much more: When compared to other Bronze Age samples from around Europe at this time, it could point to the homelands of the warriors as well as such traits as eye and hair color. Genetic analysis is just beginning, but so far it supports the notion of far-flung origins. DNA from teeth suggests some warriors are related to modern southern Europeans and others to people living in modern-day Poland and Scandinavia. “This is not a bunch of local idiots,” says University of Mainz geneticist Joachim Burger. “It’s a highly diverse population.”
I guess that's what's going to interest /pol/ in the days to come.

newfriend... just... get it right the first time or walk away. Also, make note: Americans are immune to Maplenigger pedagogues and their grammar shitposts. We don't fear the protean instability of the English language; in fact, we intentionally mangle it to distinguish ourselves from cucks in the Commonwealth.

diverse population slaughtered in the first race war.

So ancient civilization collapse effected them as well? Big fucking surprise, when trade routes clam shut people will force them open or die trying

Or if it had never been recorded
>>68710686
southern and eastern niggers tried to encroach on Scandinavia and were exterminated, no records = no guilt.

Tolkein based his material on the Poetic Eddas among other writings of Germanic and Norse lore. The dwarves, along with Gandalf, left their lands and headed into the swamps and thence to drier lands.
