Freodin. Ever been to Valhalla?

Usually quiet a bit can be learned from archeological evidence, I just haven't found any in-depth studies translated into English. German is a lot of work, and while I can manage an article most books in German are a little too daunting. Heck, with the exception of authors like Ronald Hutton most books on Anthropology in English are hard too read.Freodin said:Sorry, I fear I can´t help you with that. None of the Germanic tribes left any written accounts, so any informations about their way of life have to be deduced from archeological finds. How they thought is lost to us.
I have to admit that I have never been very good at remembering books and authors. When I was still at university, all I had to do was visit the library and look in the shelfs I knew were relevant. There is a huge amount of special publications availiable from local research groups, but I could not name any article dealing with your question out of hand.
Another thing - they would all be in German. (I don´t know if that would be a problem.)
For example, you might visist the homepage of the organization of archeologists in Germany: www.landesarchaeologen.de
Perhaps you can find some info there, or mail them from some reference.

I don´t know about "popular", but Smurfs are still around. I admit that I have a collection of over 300 myself. But the kids today are more into these Japanese monster fight thingies that I can´t even pronounce. *** sigh*** I´m growing old.Heaven_Bound said:Freodin,
This is a awesome post.
Are the Smurfs still as popular as they where in the 80's? I still have about 50 when my dad was stationed over in Kaiserslautern (I hope I spelled it right) that have W.Germany imprinted on their feet.
One more question please.
What was the chocolate eggs called with the toys inside of them? I think they where called Kinder Eggs but that was 16 years ago.

NiemandheißtBoshaftigkeit said:Well, I also love them, but I would think (as Freodin kinda mentioned) you would know how to spell it. Also, I am assuming, but you don't speak a word of German do you? Anyway......"Was macht ein Mann? Was macht ein Mann? Der Zwischen mich und Tier... nicht unterscheiden kann, Was? Er....."
Heaven_Bound said:"Was a man makes? What makes a man? The between me and animal... not to differentiate can, what? It....." ??? Is that right ???
hemis said:Could you explain Germany's trend towards socialism like other European countries or is it different?
Freodin said:Are you American? Then I fear I cannot explain this to you - it is a completely different mindset.
