In the screensaver, I used a wonderful painting by Evariste Vital Lumine in 1882 (if I'm wrong, correct it), no, it is not remarkable not for its historical realism or the body of a young woman that immediately catches the eye, it perfectly conveys the atmosphere of that two or three decades of the 19th century, when legends were born and itself the concept, which finally became from the second half of the last century "real" acting characters of the Official History of literary heroes. Romanticism … yes, romanticism simply strangles the imagination with "ancient Rome" and similar "Gauls" and "Vikings" hammered into the nails of the imperial state propaganda of the Soviet Union from childhood. Yes, Soviet historians had something to say against this enemy theory, but! … but then the "Ruriks", "Vladimir Krasnosolnyshkins", "Millenniums of the Baptism of Russia" and less significant ones would have fallen with dominoes.but tightly tied to the so-called. "Era" very fresh native "histories" of the newly appeared "peoples" who were part of the "friendly family of Soviet peoples." For the guardians of political correctness, I would like to immediately say that in the word native there is, in general, nothing offensive or abusive, the original meaning of the word is absolutely harmless, just a statement of fact, but I think in the next article I will dwell on the terms in more detail …
For many … but what can we minimize, for the overwhelming majority of the planet's population, the 19th century is a century of total population of the planet in an even layer, where crooks with herbertels examined every piece, meticulously mapped it, gently attached it in some color to any empire, nailed it hard to it with nails the label with the name and in the end! it was yesterday and everyone knows everything about it! Yes Yes? Come on?! Okay, just tell me all the "Russian-Turkish wars" of this century, in which year Chukotka became part of the Russian Empire, well, at the end of the day, what connects Carlos Marcus, Rome and Adi Hitler? I am sure that practically no one will answer these questions without Internet sharing! I’ll say it harshly, the masses of connoisseurs of “donasheyers”, “medievalists” and “experts on the Renaissance” do not know anything about the “yesterday's” 19th century !!!I am not very young in life and have already managed to understand that when you look at something through glasses, you do not see the glasses themselves and this is one of the main problems of historians …
Another, simply colossal delusion that literally turns ALL understanding of history upside down is the belief in the dense population of the surface of planet Earth. Not! NOT!!! and NO !!! For example, such a cute tool as Wikipedia claims that in 1900 the population of the planet, according to the Britannica encyclopedia, was 1.65 billion people, but to my deep regret I have to admit that Britannica is not an absolute authority for me, and I quite rarely resort to using information from this "source", in addition, when personally studying demography, I even met the figure … 960 million people. for 1900, which seems to me somewhat more objective, although I will not hide, I made this conclusion on my own while calculating the dynamics of growth and coming out empirically practically at the same figure,in general, I was intrigued by such a coincidence … but most of all, I was upset by the fact that when studying data from Britannica, the most awkward and alarming figures were in China, Southeast Asia and … the possession of the British crown, that is, slightly less than half of the number indicated in Britannica the population is stupidly invented "from the bulldozer!.. I understand that now many" freeze "or will shout" this can not be, because it can never be ", I agree, a very unproductive formulation, but absolutely unproductive and far from logic and realism. I will try to explain this, well, at least on … yes, at least on the Chukchi … yes, I could of course refer to our dispute with my pen pal Radmir, but for LJ readers, I think the link to the link will be a mockery,In addition, I will warn you that the discussion is being conducted in the proprietary Skank style and for many it will be inconvenient to read (here somewhere here), so for the rest of the readers I will still expand it here in more literary Russian.
The fact is that waves of various conquerors at the beginning of the 19th century freely rolled over each other … without touching, because the population density was not just low, but very low (although a more capacious word was originally meant) and if I specify that the density of the earth's population for the marker year 1800 according to the current chronology was like in Chukotka or Taimyr, then you need to imagine not a pretty picture where the tribes live, if not in a solid color, then certainly in volumetric contiguous areas, well, for example:
Or like this:
And since it was in reality, that is, like this:
Promotional video:
Or like this:
Not, of course, if you are fully aware that on the painted dimes, for example, the second card, 270 Tavgs, 170 Tidiris, 200 Yandyrs, 110 Khoromoi, 200 Onoids and 450 Yangas WANMEDED, and the places of their more or less permanent residence are these small multi-colored dots on the fourth map, and you understand the general meaning of the second map, then I have nothing against it, but the overwhelming majority of the population imagines that the tribes now united in the "Chukchi" and "Yukagir" "nationalities" actually lived in such large continuous arrays and this just an unforgivable delusion.
For example, knowing that the population in the East was located like this:
In the West and in the Center like this:
And in the North and South, even like this:
It will be much easier for you to understand the essence of those absurdities that the merry and frivolous "science" of historiography more than dumps on fans of the historian.
One of such shocking incidents was the news of the attack of the fleet of Mediterranean corsairs (?!) on Iceland (??? !!!), let's systematically and purposefully deal with this before moving on to further vicissitudes of Viking life
In the previous article, for a start, I simply indicated that the overwhelming majority of the Vikings were probably Chukhonts without focusing on territorial affiliation, and as soon as they colonized some territory from famous fighters in a very short time they turned into ordinary ones … well, I don't know whether this word will be politically correct in attitude of European peoples, but they turned into Chukhans, with a corresponding way of life. How, LIKE CARL ?! Just yesterday, the warlike people who caused panic by their name became so defenseless that, for example, if you believe the OI, when several ships of Algerian (?!) pirates docked on the Icelandic shores, the horrified population could not offer any resistance to the newcomers: the pirates robbed as much as they wanted and killed or taken away into slavery whoever they wanted. Very,It's a very interesting event on which I would like to dwell in more detail and analyze it.
Analyzing all the available materials, I came to the conclusion that this material is the most complete and justified: nordic-land.com/topic/1482 Analyzing this, of course, a very complete and interesting study of 1905, I immediately drew attention to the fact that the publication is not only that the British, and this, let me remind you, are natural enemies and constant antiheroes in Icelandic history, so the British author does not hesitate to mention that the British were part of the command, and the first attack was also carried out by forces from the Gibraltar region, again, recall, a long-standing key colony England. However, the most interesting thing starts right from the very beginning, and with general reading it simply falls out of memory, gets blurry, but it's not difficult for me, I brazenly copied this moment and cite it in a separate piece, I even highlighted the most yummy in bold:
“Iceland … until 1627 did not experience devastation from the African hordes, which were at that time a misfortune in Europe. English pirates landed on its shores and plundered estates: but now she had to experience the full horror of the “Turkish fiends” (by the way, the quotes were not mine, the British author put them himself in masochistic tenderness, and he wrote about English pirates absolutely without hesitation).
On the Irish Islands (the Icelandic region of Vestmannaeyjar), a legend is told that it was as if June 20, 1740, or, as some say, at the beginning of the nineteenth century (well, what, how nuclear tests were carried out in the USSR, well, who will remember? 20 to 150 kilotons, such a light discrete), the Algerians returned, and were outwitted by a cunning sheriff (sýslumaður), a Dane named Johanssen"
So everything fell into place, the British at the beginning of the 19th century according to the current chronology, as usual, having recruited guest workers, made a rustle among the simple-minded Icelandic natives, especially frightening is the fact that the Icelandic understood the speech of the Algerian Turks
Read the link, have fun, from such fabrications of bored British squires, the official history (OI) was molded throughout the second half of the 19th and the entire 20th century … for lovers of "Russian history" from the same series and endless violence by the Crimean lumpen-proletarians of invincible countless armies Muscovites … in general, Algeria rules …
… Not hoping that I suddenly became so convincing, and the reader abandoned everything, followed the link and immediately began to understand the inconsistencies, on reflection, I decided to chew on the topic a little more, citing the most heartbreaking moments.
Well, for example, the author N. Annandale from Oxford innocently reports: "… now we will deal with a much more serious and earlier attack, about which there are reports of that time, compiled partly from the stories of survivors, and partly from the letters of prisoners written in the land of their captivity.”Most of these accounts were painstakingly edited and published in Reykjavik in the middle of the nineteenth century; but this edition is difficult to find, and I don’t know if anything has been translated into English, apart from a few essays I published in the Scotsman newspaper in August 1901. ". I translate from the language for the mentally disabled into Russian, with such a simple "Makar" the author honestly admits that this whole dark story was invented in the middle. XIX century in Reykavik, and, again, it is honestly admitted that apart from some essays,translated into English by sheer coincidence, he knows nothing at all.
And now compare Iceland as well (I can’t resist and I’ll cite the excerpt I quoted about Iceland of the 19th century, which is equally applicable to the rest of Scandinavia, and to the northern part of the British Isles, and to such a toilet in Europe as the Baltic States, do not be lazy, read it again:
“On their farms, the Vikings dragged out a miserable existence, starved and died out. Scandinavian farm - a row of houses with walls made of stone or sod bricks, sod roofs and plank facades. Such a farm looks more like a bunch of dugouts than a manor. In a cramped living space - the so-called "badstove" - the ceiling was in the form of a gable roof. There were bunks on either side of the middle passage. Here the inhabitants of the farm spent their winter days and evenings at work in the dim light of a wick dipped in blubber. Sitting on a bunk, they scratched wool, spun or knitted. Smoky sloping ceilings were leaking, and we had to put troughs under the leaks. Fuelwood outside Sweden and Norway was scarce and had to be drowned with anything: fish bones dipped in blubber, the corpses of seagulls and the like. To keep warm, the window did not open. The room was always damp and cold. It smelled suffocatingly of blubber, rotten fish and urine - in the old urine they washed clothes and washed themselves, since the soap was unknown. In the same room there were sheep and dogs, and often sick people, for example, lepers - leprosy and smallpox were a common occurrence at that time.”) With letters allegedly from the BEGINNING of the 17th century that lasted until the MIDDLE of the 19th century, that is, they were stored in THESE CONDITIONS for two hundred years, I think someone who has not completely lost touch with reality will laugh at this as cheerfully as I do.») With letters allegedly from the BEGINNING of the 17th century that lasted until the MIDD of the 19th century, that is, kept in THESE CONDITIONS for two hundred years or more, I think those who have not completely lost touch with reality will laugh as merrily at this as I do.») With letters allegedly from the BEGINNING of the 17th century that lasted until the MIDD of the 19th century, that is, kept in THESE CONDITIONS for two hundred years or more, I think those who have not completely lost touch with reality will laugh as merrily at this as I do.
In addition, the author directly points out that the Icelandic language has not yet been invented, either really bewildered, or simply an auto idiot turned it on, but its formulation amused me with its childish naivety: "…" The History of the Turkish Raid "by Bjorn from Skardsau - a respected Icelandic historian or, rather, a chronicler, known for his numerous chronicles, written in poor Icelandic. Coming from a period when the old Icelandic speech became temporarily not prestigious, and when it was considered correct to be a pedantic foreigner in pronunciation …"
The last phrase of this opus simply finished me off with its childish naivety: "… these annals are not literature in any sense of the word; but their accuracy in the smallest detail regarding the events of a sudden and extremely unexpected disaster, which we are dealing with, gives them the practical meaning of a historical document …", I shed a lot of tears from this childish babble like: "This piece of paper is from the most delicious candy in the world, it is so beautiful that it simply could not contain a bad candy", how these primitive idiots of the twentieth century threshold touch me.
I don’t even know if it’s worth continuing to analyze this description of the GIANT catastrophe of the early 19th century, which led to INCREDIBLE human losses among the Icelandic population, but I think everything is too clear there and without me, and it will not be difficult for people who KNOW TO READ to recreate a real picture of what happened two hundred years back to an ordinary event, thrown by the efforts of rather inept falsifiers in ancient antiquity and inflated to the universal scale of a national catastrophe, so I turn to no less interesting things.
