guy Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Below is a really good review of the origin of the Germanic tribes: Quote Kings and Generals historical animated documentary series on the history of the ancient civilizations continues with a video on the ancient origin of the Germanic Tribes. This video covers the origin hypothesis, culture, religion, society, economy, and military of the ancient Germanic peoples and their first clashes with Rome - the Cimbrian War and the battle of the Teutoburg Forest Edited February 4, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldrail Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I notice that the video describes Germanic culture as somewhat similar to the American plains Indians centuries later, albeit with a grittier edge. The tentative connection with horses, the warrior lifestyle, the meritocracy of their chiefs. Different landscape of course. In Germany they've set aside some land to revert to primeval conditions and it really is what Tacitus and Florus describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
