This is what Uppsala, Sweden looked like in 1709. What do you notice?

>>514144113 (OP)
big silage mounds maybe?

>>514144113 (OP)
Zero niggers.

>>514144113 (OP)
Nigger-free?

>>514144113 (OP)
Hey! That's my hometown! I dunno. Maybe that it's not overrun by sandniggers on electric scooters yet

>>514144113 (OP)
not many buildings

>>514144113 (OP)
there seems to a big change in how accurate maps are between like the 1400s, 1500s and 1700s

>>514144113 (OP)
Why do I see a merchant?

>>514144658

>>514144113 (OP)
Why do they have so much money

>>514145206

>>514145206
Does any of this ring familiar or sound legitimate?

>>514144113 (OP)
they drew that map from high altitude thanks to ufos

>>514145470
Yes! I've seen the Odin mound. It's pretty wicked.

>>514145381
It's a woman and no. She is about as far away from being an anon as you could possibly be. She is very "sossig". I still lover to death though

>>514144938
Who is buried there?
>>514146094
Odin?

>>514144113 (OP)
burial mounds the same that are found here?

>>514146094
Small world, very cool. You said its over run with swarthy invaders these days? Shame.. a lot of that going around.

>>514146600
that's cause white europeans were in america first

>>514146600
>>514146647

>>514146563
Haha, only according to myth. They dug it out in 1846 and could only find burnt bones and fragments of gifts

>>514146563
Odin, Thor and Freyr.
If you read >>514145470 supposedly Odin was a real living king from 2000 years ago before he was deified.

>>514145057
ohhhhhhhh>>514145470

>>514144714
Invention of the moveable type printing press in the 1450's. Before that mapmakers would see some maps and then draw a map of a different place eyeballing it. When there were standardized books on cartography on bookshelves all over Western Europe then any learned man could create accurate maps that got better and more refined with time.
That happened with thousands of other fields as well. Guttenberg literally enabled the modern world.

3 pyramids? We wuz viKANGz and shieet confirmed

Anyone who ever grew up in this city has at some point. We went there many times while in daycare and in school. Back in the early 2000s there were waaaay less foreigners. This place used to be comfyness deluxe. I genuinely feel bad for the new generations that get to grow up in NuSweden.

>>514146752
>burnt bones and fragments of gifts
bummer. i wonder fi that's why china refuses to dig up qin's tomb, for fear of it being empty

>>514146752

Holy shit, I was joking. Your Gods died? F. No wonder you guys are so buck broken.

>>514146623
There is lot of middle eastern migrants i Uppsala. Don't know why. It is very diverse but also pretty segregated. You got the Svenssons, the hood blattar, tree hugging fjällräven students, preppy Stocken guys what not

>>514147067
Buenas noches, señorita. Are you nueva in town?

>>514146834
Silence gypsy

>>514147341
H-how did you recognize me from the other thread? Are you a jannie?

that's too bad, it seems like a pretty nice place. i suppose every city has its ghetto though

>>514145206
>My partner
Business partner?

>>514146801
true

>>514145206
fag

>>514147632
Besides the migrants I'm really fond of it. Lots of history. Small enough to be walkable. Very pretty to look at especially around the centre by the riber. Lots of great pubs. A great deal of culture and the fact that a rough quarter of the population are students makes the city feel very youthful.

>>514147443
Você é fácil de detectar, anon.

>>514148133
College towns usually are the best.

What else do you say if you are not married but have been togheter for a long time? Girlfriend sounds too casual

>>514144113 (OP)

>>514148650

>>514148504
youre on the internet, just lie and call her your wife like everyone else does. no one will know, but you'll probably still get called a fag anyway for being married

They used a different form of map making back in mideval times. It was a point to point one dimensional system of roads like the Roman's. At some point during the 14th century when people started to use celestial navigation for sea fairing they transitioned to two dimensional maps and planning. They had small rudimentary maps before then for construction but nothing large. It wasn't until large scale projects where performed that interest in accuracy was made.

The travel maps were simply measuring the mileage from one stop to the next. In the case of rome they would usually calculate up and find the distance from Rome at every stop and mile marker.

Up until the late 14th century all maps were largely just holdovers from ancient Roman census, maybe updated on a small scale from city to city with little interest of what laid on either side of the road.

Kinda crazy how chinks invented the movable type press 1000 years earlier but never were able to make use of it because their language has thousands of characters.

>>514149106
well I meant the city itself.
but sure
these things are dotted around the country. they were built 4000 years ago. nobody knows their purpose and little research has been done on the matter

>>514144113 (OP)
no church

>>514144113 (OP)
poverty

>>514150023
theres a church in the north east quadrent, right in the middle of town

>>514149793

>>514144938
>ever been to the royal mounds?

>>514150023

>The travel maps were simply measuring the mileage from one stop to the next.
I remember hearing about this and thinking it was so odd at first, but its really the same thing we now on mapquest where it generates a bullet point list of turns and such. Just back then they only had main roads and inns ever so many miles so a straight list of town names with mile markers makes a lot of sense if you're traveling in a straight line with a caravan of people.

That Odin was a man is not found anywhere but in Christian sources.
It's said that there was a big heathen temple in Uppsala before Christianity, but we don't know.
There are no Old Swedish sources on heathendom, probably because the Danmark-Norway destroyed the Swedish archives in some war.
We can see form place-names and runestones that Sweden was heathen and shared culture with Denmark and Norway, but the sources are gone.

>>514151375
Odin was an As = Ace and Asatro = Ace-troth

>>514151375
the most important medieval swedish sources got destroyed in the fire in 1697

>>514151987
You are correct. I do seen to remember that the Swedish archives was destroyed in some was as well, but I could be wrong.

>>514151375
>>514151987
i hate when that happens

>>514150602
yes the men respected their mothers, it doesn't mean they worshipped them

>>514149792
It wasn't the characters it was the paper they used shitty rice paper. It would literally dissolve in a press. They also just didn't use lead printing blocks and instead used wood. It worked for printing simple wood cuts a couple of times but didn't hold up to thousands of presses. Lead and steel presses mixed with paper made from heavier wood pulp was the way to go.

>>514144113 (OP)
church has fortifications, houses arranged in a way for maximum defense
the fields are arranged in a way that a homosexual could post the map on an online forum 300 years later and be proud of it

Guten Tag, Achmed. Haben Sie heute jemandem ins Gesicht gestochen?
