Re: [tied] Re: Snorri's "Odin"

Hi!
Here comes some starting points that we earlier have discussed on gothic
and germanic

At the beginning of the 6th century large changes took place in the Lake
Mälar Area of Sweden

1. Suddenly a Svea power appeared which was strong enough to wage war
against the Gutar, island of Gotland in the Baltic sea. From where did
those Svear come?

2. A new fashion in burying saw the light in the Lake Mälar Area during the
6th century. The burials were very ritual, which indicates that religion
very much directed the treatment of man for the next life.

3. The Svear used the Roman Julian calendar which is considered to have
been introduced in Uppland about the year 500. Still in the 17th century
the Disthing-day in Uppsala was calculated according to this calendar.

Continuation follows on http://gotland.luma.com/Origin%20of%20Svear.html
