Edda Mythology ?
Researcher wrote that all what is known about norse mythology from descriptions, archaelogical finds, place names etc, differs vitally compared to Edda's mythology.
This leads to conclusion: old pagan religion was in viking age have origins in christianity, .
Filologists demonstraded on linquistic basis, that none of poems in Edda cannot be older than 9th century.
Poems cannot be reconstructed to older language forms, because poem rule would be ruined.
Another thing explains, that poems are no older than viking age:
There are lots of loan words from latin, aglosaxon and iiri..
Poems' topics are mainly loans, in which we can see in jewish-christian and roman-greece sources.
Edda doesn't show skandinavian paganism ( and so nobody can know how it was structured .. but it is not a problem for viking's fanatics..... there are Marvel Comics..) but is based mainly on christian tradition, and via christian culture from antique materia, which is pretty young. For example norwegian A. Chr. Bang, icelandic G. Vigfusson, german E. H. Meyer agree with Bugge.
Poor Viking's fanatics...even their only mythological source was inspired by Christianity..
