i like the right image, looks comfy
kek imagine being raped and pillaged by picrel on the right
Unironically the old testament. It praises people who do good things and essentially calls the rest niggers, including Israel.
Would unironically dress like that
I dount their fabrics were that vibrant
old testament
you mean the tanakh? Jewish scripture?

Both of those interpretations are correct. Vikings weren't always warring and raiding 100% of the time, and some Norsemen were merchants were whatever and never did that stuff. So yeah.
not going that far back.
The second one is a reddit Viking creation.
including Israel.
Someone needs to inform the Evangelicucks that their holy scripture doesn't give Israel cart blanche to do any and all evil acts imaginable, and its not only okay but even required to condemn Israel's atrocities.
I dount their fabrics were that vibrant
You'd be surprised.
We still use many of those dyes today and quite a few are unironically neon colored.
Oranges/reds were plentiful.
Purple was very common.
Blues relatively common.
Greens into yellows is where the issues of having a straight color are noticed.
The brutish Viking meme is a christcuck creation made by seething monks who got raided
I asked chatgpt about it:
"Yeah, you’re spot on! Viking-era fabrics were dyed using natural sources like plants, roots, and insects, which produced earthy, muted tones rather than the vibrant, saturated colors we see in modern textiles. Bright blues and deep reds were possible but required expensive dyes (like woad for blue or madder for red), making them more common among wealthier individuals. Most everyday clothing would have been in shades of brown, gray, yellow, or faded greens and blues.
It's a subtle but important difference—modern reenactments sometimes use synthetic dyes that look too vivid compared to what Vikings likely had. So while they did wear colors, they weren’t rocking the kind of saturated hues you’d find in a modern clothing store."
me on the right
Yes dumbass, vikings back then only wore battle gear everywhere. They slept, ate, shit and fucked in full armor and shield.
based vikings, bullying those nerds so hard they got immortalized in the history books as badasses
they would have been MORE vibrant. people in the past practically slathered themselves in as much garish color as possible.
also he would probably had had face tattoos of some kind.
armor vs unarmored
They dressed both ways
Except we have viking clothing that unironically survived thousands of years and it's still pretty bright dude.
Pigments get darker WITH AGE.
Since the active ingredient that causes color change goes away as time goes on.
So if it's already bright now, at hundreds to thousand+ years old now.
It would be absurdly bright when it was created.
Chat GPT wrong as usual.
Red wool was used ALOT.
Its called homespun and all women made it in their spare time.
No tell it that it is wrong and watch it agree and completely about-turn
I asked chatgpt about it
It's alarming that you admit to this with confidence. You're a smooth-brained know-nothing NPC nigger.
Actually they largely acted as a roaming tributary, it made more sense for them to just collect tributes then constantly raid people and potentially lose lives, so basically they were like NEETs collecting NEETbux from peasant wagies.
Yeah just like every steppe horde was a bunch of neets. Thats what norse viking culture resembled the most, the anti civilization steppe hordes.
Vikings wore chain mail and helmets.
I asked chatgpt
How vikings actually looked* the like at the end is unnecessary.
pretty sure fucking with either guy would be a bad idea
I asked chatgpt about it:
the book that calls kikeroaches 'god's chosen people' is unbiased
lmao what will those crazy christcucks say next?
It praises people who do good things
The Biblical "morality" is DO WHAT YAHWEH (his priests) command, without question. If he tells you to kill your firstborn son you are expected to do it. That's not morality that is slavery. When you're toting your foreskin-munching god around the desert in a fancy box, and the box is about to crash to the ground, DONT CATCH IT because youre filth.
This PhD guy is good for Viking and Old Norse stuff: youtube.com
I don't see any significant difference other than that the reenactor is a bit chubby and old, which is fine since all vikings who did not die young would eventually end up old, well-fed and in civilian garb after a life of successful trading and plundering.
Or did you think they walked around fully armed the whole time?
based vikings for terrorising christcucks
yes everyone knows the old testament tells israel they are bad people and not the chosen people. moron
A lot of Viking culture was kinda true to the pop culture stereotypes though: youtube.com
The Vikings wore putees?
OP, you realize vikings did wear helmets like that and did carry shields like that right? both do no exclude the other. typically the left viking would be a rich noble, a professional warrior whose entire business was raiding, thus it made sense for him to invest in armor and weapons. the right viking however would have been your average peasant or freeman who was going along for the ride; the noble warriors would go around to every village in their homeland and ask the locals if they wanted to come along to raid, or sometimes force them. usually this was not needed however, as the promise of riches, jewels and adventure was enough to tempt them, and it was a good way to earn extra money if their crops failed or some expenditure came up. armies and militaries in the past were not the uniformal, standardized forces that we have today, that is largely a prussian innovation of the 1700s-1800s. before that militaries were very ragtag and composed of many walks of life, with varying degrees of protection and armament and skill. even the roman legions were not nearly as standardized as people tend to think of them; it was rare every single roman would be wearing plate mail in battle. thats largely just how they depict themselves on reliefs, for the sake of aesthetics and efficiency. in reality many roman forces were composed much like viking warbands, only on a much larger and more organized scale. it was like this for most of the world throughout most of time
picrel is the tunic and skirt of a 16-18 year old germanic girl from about 2000 years ago. honestly more colorful than i imagined it would be, TV always depicts them wearing brown leather and furs or something
they were a pretty common european thing so i wouldnt be surprised
Purple was very common.
It was the color of royal for the very reason it was expensive and difficult to obtain.
charlamagne shouldn't have burned their tree.
made from the crushed shells of a sea snail found in the mediterranean sea and persian gulf.
shit was so profitable that dye making ended up directly under the banner of the king as a state monopolized industry, which is likely how it became associated with royalty.
vikings were basically chuds. they were the fighting age men that would have been troublemakers in town, they were the bastard sons, they had no lands or inheritances or trade, they lived in camps at the mouths of rivers (good for landing boats) where they lived off whale and fish and traded with the towns, during wars they fought with the jarl's men for loot, the younger ones would often be adopted into the jarls' huscarl retainers, when the boats got better they were the spearhead of norse maritime exploration, they were always outnumbered, which is why the whole time period is associated with vikings, even though most of the bigger wars were jarls household forces and levies.
they all still looked like the guy on the right though.
