>>509320827Nibelungenlied, Beowulf & Mabinogion ARE the best sources we have for certain ancient events. Most of the official ancient history is total horseshit after all.
Nibelungenlied deals really with the aftermath of the Franco-Gallic empire which did not end as later retcons made it out. This is when Rome, whatever that was, fell for good. After the crisis of the 3rd century it was over. Later Roman history is a repeat plus some 8-10 century retcons.
>>509320925Iliad, like Odyssey, is mostly Nordic in origin.
Normies were made to believe that historians started out as more honest than today when people back then didn't even had a sense of historicity as we look at it today.
From our perspective it was just outrageous lies.
It's maddening how naive especially rightwingers are in this regard, eg bible, christian propaganda etc.
