Frisians: how Anglo-Saxons looked like before mixing with Celts

[Creoda]

fairly new to all this so thank you

I imagine the Cornish were as distinct as the Welsh at one point, but they've been so Anglicised over the last 500-1000 years.

Everyone has a tinge of Celt in them.

As I have said before there is not a great difference between the Anglo-Saxons and Celts, when we go further back anyway.

So a language difference more than anything, as they are all bell beakers?

The Nordic Bronze Age probably originated as an amalgalm of Beaker and Battle-Axe elements. Battle-Axe was extremely similar to Beaker anyway, and both share a common origin in the Corded Ware culture of the North European plains.

Did the Germanic peoples actually had originated from the Nordic Bronze age culture of Scandinavia? You seem to be very knowledgeable on these things, so I do want to know since..well, you can say that I'm a fan of Germanic peoples and their cultural heritage, rofl.

Cool, i am a fan of Palestinians too. I follow an originally Palestinian religion after all.
Yes, the consensus among archeologists and linguists is Jastorf as a southwards expansion of Nordic Bronze Age, developing West Germanic under Hallstatt Celtic influence, and Wielbark as a eastwards expansion, developing East Germanic with a Balto-Slavic adstrate. All Germanic people told stories about a huge migration from Scandinavia due to famine and climatic changes. West Germanic people migrated under the leadership of two brothers named Ajo and Ibo according to Paulus Diaconus, and Aggo and Ebbo according to Saxo Grammaticus.

That's pretty cool really since I had watched many videos of the Nordic Bronze age culture of Scandinavia, and really, it seem to be a very advanced culture for it's time rather than the "barbarian" image that we were used to in seeing whenever we see the Romans fighting against the Germanic peoples and so on. Elves and Dwarves are my favorite creatures or races from the Germanic mythologies, and we have to thank the writer of the Lord of the Rings for bringing them to popular fantasy media.

Your truly ancestors.

They are the "Saxons" settlers/pioneers, sailors, noted by Welsh monks, roman generals, Byzantin writers!
Saxon, is a a collective name, an empty shell: It was a ignorance time, when the continental 'neighbor' and his identity were ignored.

The other Saxons, right Saxons from Hannover, they aren't sailor nation !


These pictures, SHOW the true 1500 years ago Saxon face.

In Spain, we called "gabachos" all those who cross the Pyrenees from Europe: frenchmen, Boches, Ruskies, etc.

Frisians are part Celt

As much as all Europeans (and a few west Asian people), except for Finns, icelanders and northern poles
