Should time travel ever become possible, I would like to go back to stone age Finland, find the first few people who looked at this place and said, "yes, I choose to live here" during their first summer. Then hang out with them as winter sets in. Then as *second* winter sets in. I would ask them, "are you really fucking sure about this?" After I dug the dude's ax out of my ribs, I would then go home.
I lived in Finland for a short while, having travelled there in my van from England. Great country and culture, I enjoyed every moment. I was lucky enough to experience ice fishing, ice swimming and many sauna's. I visited Elias Lönnrot house and then bought the Kalevala. Also visited Emil Wikström house in Visavuori. I thank you so much for these videos, they are very much appreciated.
I’m an American, but my great grandparents on my dads side are Finnish immigrants, and I suppose I’m roughly 25 percent…I resonate so much with the culture. My grandparents lived in the state Michigan, specifically the upper peninsula, which is also known for its numerous lakes. Apparantly Finns feel at home there, and sometimes I do too, but I don’t know if thats just me being sentimental or something. I love history and Finnish culture, and your art is really cool too, there is so much to look at. Thank you for these beautiful and informative videos from America
Thanks so much for your awesome comment! Yes a lot of Finnish immigrants settled in the Michigan upper peninsula, and since I started doing these videos I've had the pleasure to learn more about the Fenno-American culture and tradition.
25% Finn here as well, although originally from Washington St! The Pacific Northwest is another "enclave" Finnish immigrants. Now living in Tasmania, Australia and since moving to Australia, have come across a handful of Finns... "Oh, your surname ends in 'nen', are you Finnish?"
Same, but on my side of my family my Finnish great grandpa on my mom's side migrated from Finland to mainland China when it was still a democracy and married my Chinese great grandma, then they migrated to the Philippines and had a family, then my mom and grandma came to the U.S. during the cold-war. I am a first generation Asian-American with roughly ~25% Finnish, Spaniard, and Chinese descent with me and my siblings being majority Filipino but I really resonate with Finnish sentiments, values, and way of thinking
Our narrator's low-key, nearly monotone delivery and dry sense of humor remind me very much of my Finnish second cousins. My father, although born in the UP, grew up back in his mother's birthplace, Nivala, and only returned to the UP at age nine. As he grew old, he spoke English with increasing difficulty. My friends even detect remnants of a Finnish accent in my speach. Descendants of my Finnish grandparents' siblings are scattered over Michigan and Minnesota.
Tosi mielenkiintoista! It's very hard to find any detailed information on early Finnish history (or prehistory), at least in English. I'm learning the language, but I'm not quite at the level of reading academic literature. But I can list my favourite foods, so that's something.
Just subbed! My grandma recently loaned me her copy of the Kalevala and now I'm trying to learn more about Finnish history and mythology. So happy I found your channel!!!
This video reminded me of the game "unreal world", even though that game takes place in iron age Finland iirc. It's been ages since I've played the game, but from what I remember, it does nail the "feeling" of ironage Finland pretty well. That game might even be something to mention in the future Ironage video.
Thanks! It's also sad just how little history is taught in general. For someone not interested in the subject, all they might remember is some homo species started walking upright, then there was ancient Greece and Rome, then some world wars and Finland was a part of Sweden/Russia before.
@@AnttimationFinland was directly a part of Sweden almost 600 years and later an autonomous grand duchy of Russia's Empire of tsar 100 years with a lot of privileges. During the revolution 1917 in Russia Finland declared its independence and has been independent ever since.
@@butterflies655 Finland was partly called Kvenland before Swedes and was not part of Sweden for 600 years, that is the old biased story. There were also Danish and Polish rule at 1500, also Sweden ruled only small part of western point Finland starting slowly with help of roman catholic help at 1300's with their crusaders, at those times also part of that is now northern Sweden, was also finnish speaking and saami people, only after 1600 Sweden got to rule the other parts and even then Finland was autonomous, There were no Swedish military at Finland. Sweden only robbed Finns and used them for their wars, they never managed to change the language. That is the reason why finnish and swedish bibles were first published to the finns and swedes at same time
@@Anttimation I'll notice that, thats why hunt native channals X'D, And i know how you feel, because i have seen alot og big channals completely butcher indian mythos, who knows what wiki pedia entries they have been reading from 🤣🤣🤣

I absolutely love this series. Both the artwork, animation and depth of detail in the historical content. As a Finnish-American (3rd Gen), I had no idea about our prehistoric culture and similarities to the Native American belief system.
Thank you! Also when Finnish immigrants settled in the woods, the Natives noticed how similar they were. They knew how to live in the woods, and liked to bathe in the sauna.
Hi! There are quite a few of us 3rd gen Finnish-Americans in the comments on this channel!!! Isn't he great?? I love his content so much! My husband *is* Native American,so our kids are "Finndian" 😁
@@nisaba5752 haha awesome, thank you! Since I started making these, I have learned more about the Fenno-American people and culture which has been great.
Finns share a lot in common with native Americans. I suspect perhaps maybe because Finns themselves may be from the same group of people in east Asia that decided to go over the land bridge while the Finns went the other way. But I think the history goes farther back then that. I think there was a great civilization long ago approximately 12,000 years ago that had a profound love and respect for nature and used it’s resonance and natural harmony to achieve great things. I think this love and respect for nature continued even as they were wiped out shortly after the younger dryas and native Americans and Finns are the descendants of that previous civilization or at least coexisted with them. But more plausibly it’s probably they were both the same group of people at one time before the ice age split where some went to America while the rest went to modern day Finland I say that because the natives of east Asia specifically in regions like Siberia and the other eastern Russian republics all also have similarities with native Americans particularly the usage of similar tents and sweat lodges . Also a bit anedoctal here but Finnish mythology was animistic, from what I understand so too are many Native American mythology’s and beliefs. The Japanese still hVe a animistic belief called Shinto where everything has a spirit in it similar to some Native American beliefs. Both the Japanese faith Shinto and ancient Finnish belief had votive offerings. The Japanese offer these to their kami for blessings and such. I suspect the finns did too. And such offering bowls have been found in Finland and I think North America as well. Also the looped square or the Käpälikkö has been found in the Mississippian culture from around the 8th century. Just something to note Also adding to everything, the contact between finns and the ojibwe were so profound both groups were banned from liquor places and bars since the people saw them as one lol
Really nice. - I’m in Finland right now, staying for a month, and am very curious about the history and oldest known traditions. Thanks so much, well done, and the animations are very helpful.
Amazing channel!! There has been so much need for this. Warms my heart that somebody doing these videos! Awesome! Cheers form a fellow history lover from Raasepori!
I live about 20 min drive from the castle, but in the deep countryside. Theres actually quite a bit of interesting Medieval history here, all over, where I live. Some of not so well known. Im really a medieval history afficionado my self. If I wouldnt have become a musician, I would have become a historian maybe. Cheers! @@Anttimation
I do my self more of an outdoor channel. But have started to do Some videos related to Finnish history also. Two of my great passions. Maybe should start to do some research and videos of the medieval history of my village.
Aivan ihana video ja täydellinen ajoitus, kun tästä ihan tässä hiljattain etsin tietoa. Varsinkin tuo Suomen shamanismi kiehtoo ja uskon 100% niiden olleen osa Suomen historiaa. Onhan meillä joulupukki ja noitarumpu todisteena. 😂 Oli tosin vähän hankala keskittyä, kun tuo taustamusiikki oli niin nostalginen lapsuudesta! Mutta tosi sopiva teemaan.
Tbh I haven't read much about it. Some Finnish words and place names have Sami origins. What is generally misunderstood due to the indigenous status of the Sami is that our ancestors have been here equally long.
Finnish and Sami are two totally different languages. I have watched news in Finland that are in sami language and I have no idea what they are saying. The base of the languages might be the same Uralic, but thousands of years later the languages are different.
@@Mayhem-pv9cc right, it's familiar but not mutually intelligible. I can identify with some effort between the two. I also can't speak either, my Finnish is non existent, only can remember a few words at a time, then forget.
Finland does not have Sami ppl very many. Most of them occur in Norway. Sweden is next. Finland is the third. Sami ppl are different ppl with a completely different culture. Sami's have a very wonderful and unique culturally of their own.
olen todella kiitollinen että löysin kanavasi! perheeni muutti Suomesta Amerikkaan kun olin tosi nuori (noin 7v), joten en päässyt Suomen historian tunneilla kovin pitkälle. nyt ylioppilaana päätin käydä pulpetin ääreen oppimaan mistä hemmetistä tämä kaikki alkoi. lapsena historia ei kiinnostanut lainkaan, mutta vanhuus on vissiin iskeny kun tekee mieli muistella vanhoja....ja tottakai haluan myös osata vastaamaan Amerkkalisten kysymyksiin Suomen historiaan liittyen. anyways, SUURET KIITOKSET SINULLE! jatka samaan malliin!!
I really enjoy your channel. I have loved Finnish culture for some years now, bot historic and modern, and have dreamed of living in Finland, so thank you for this channel. I'm now a member, can you tell me how to acquire and use the custom emoji described in the members' perks?
It says: Your emoji will appear in the emoji picker. Your members can also use emoji in comments and live chat by typing : immediately before and after the emoji name. For example, if the emoji name is wow, members can type :wow: to make it appear. Is the emoji picker the thing you press to access all the emojis? Not sure 😅 The name is hannu (hannunvaakuna was too long), so by typing it should appear. If it works, I could make more of those!
Kiitos videosta. Nyt viimeaikoina runsaammin perehtyneenä mesoliittiseen aikaan ja juurikin tuonne vanhimpiin löydöksiin (kuten antrean verkko) ja asutuksiin itäsuomessa oli ollut mukava kuulla tuosta aikakaudesta vielä lisää, sekä kampa ja -nuorakeraamisesta yms. Toki myös aika jolloin kantaurali tuli suomeen olisi kiva saada kokonaan omalle videolleen! Kiitoksia vielä
Kiitos! Kiinnostavia aiheita ehdottomasti. En vaan tiedä niistä ihan kauheasti, niin pitäisi tutkia ensin tarkemmin... Ellei sitten joku muu ehdi tekaista videota ensin 😁
i do like how you pointed out the uralo-siberian theory. i personally believe in it. sad you didnt mention how the finns came to finland (then inhabited by sami) from modern day northern estonia and how the story of kalevala might originate in the finns going north to finland. the realm of kalevala itself being an analogue to modern area of estonia and pohjola being an analogue to samic finland
Very intressting, so I am from Hungary, our history says, there were two brothers in somewhere in Mongolia, and then they split, one traveled to the north, and became the Sami, the other traveled to Hungary. When the first time a met a Sami, I felt so connected, even I dudnt know, he was a Sami. Because of the colours of the clothes, and the open way we spoke.
As a Swede I can say that Finland is so different from the other Nordic countries but still like the same / oh yeah sorry that we kinda took you over and then Russia took you over…. But thanks to that Swedish and Finnish history is a little bit same / in school the teachers don’t really talk about how we invaded Finland and they don’t say anything bad about it…. That sus….
No one is responsible for their ancestors' deeds. Still, thanks, I appreciate it :D That's how I see Sweden/other Nordics too, similar but still quite different.
Finns mostly descend from corded ware people and portion of their ancestry is uralic with mixture of narva hunter gatherer ancestry with additional comb ware ancestry that can explain the high level of ancient north eurasian
Interesting - But where did the people come from? Wikipedia shows the Finno -Ugric languages, other than Hungary seem to be East of Finland. Some Finnish people have epicanthic folds which is also suggestive of an origin further to the East. If Asiatic people did settle the land, it's kind of obvious they bred with those of the South. What do I know? I live in the land of the Ojibwe and Ottawa and have never been even close to the lands of my ancestors. Good Art! Have a good one.
The old (nationalist) theory puts the primordial home of the proto-Finns in the "curve of the river Volga" but that's no longer supported. I can't say more specifically than from the east, and later from the west too. Many related Uralic peoples dwell in Siberia/Russia and their surviving folklore has been crucial to the studying of Finnish myths too.
@@Anttimation Yeh - I didn't mention the genetic thing. Native Americans share traits with the folks who live in North Asia giving strong credibility to them crossing an old land bridge across Alaska thousands of years ago. I think it may be found that there are similar genetic markers for you Finn folk also pointing East. Whatever it is - It is what it is. Keep drawing.
Finns have not got epicanthic folds more than other countries. Actually they are very very rare. Finns in general have blond hair, blue eyes, white complexion and they are tall. Watch the video "Which country has the most blondies?" The answer is Finland.
@@butterflies655 Certainly not more than Japan. However, look into Lapland. Sami people have these characteristics. Not always, but they are there. My father's family is from the Rovaniemi area and this feature pops up in some relatives.
@@daniellarson3068 The Sami ppl are a different race and they have a completely different culture. Finland even has not gotten them very much. Norway has them most. Sweden is the second and Finland the third.
they were Sami nykysuomalaisten vanhojen eurooppalaisten goottien ja ugrilaisten heimojen sekoitus Suomi vwas vain suoalue etelään ja Viroon reigndeer-kansat kattoivat koko jääkauden alueen ja muuttivat pohjoiseen tänne ne vaelsivat ja eteläsuomalaiset muuttivat pohjoiseen sekoittuen siksi ei pysyviä paikkoja, koska he käyttivät telttoja
Aattelin tehdä ensin tällaiset yleiskatsaukset 2000-luvulle asti, ja sitten myöhemmin ehkä lisäjaksoja väleihin esim. sodista tai eri aikakausien arjesta ym.
Is this Egyptian propaganda to try to occult the greatness of the proto holy roman finish khanate? Aside joks, i really like the drawing of the video. Great work!
One mistake Indus Valley Civilization is not Southeast Asia but South Asia especially the region of todays northwestern India. Otherwise very nice video.
What I've been able to piece together is, Finns are what Estonians are, mixed with some Swedish and some Hun. That is, Asiatics who evolved light hair and eyes. Compared to Swedish, German types whose ancestors were Mediteranneans (like Sardinians) who evolved light hair and eyes. And both got intelligence boosts from consuming Amanita mushrooms.
As far as I remember the recent research shows that the Fennic languages weren't used in the area before the early metal age. Also the time of the introduction of Ukko or any other personifications of the forces of nature is questionable. We also don't know if Ukko was actually the most important of these or if that is a later idea. Also the war axe culture, better known as the corded ware culture, was a thing only in the southwest part of the area nowadays known as Finland. The much bigger inland area had a different culture, and this divide went on through the bronze age as well.
Finno ugric split from uralic in the early bronze age in western siberia. Before the late bronze age modern finland was inhabited by paleoeuropeans and indoeuropeans who were later replaced by sami and finns
Oh wow, is that when you are ritualisticly and meticulously born and looped into a dimension that appears normal but it's very much not normal and you track uphill both ways and aquire massive amounts of experience and abilities from hardships, and you're not supposed to know that you were likely born dead but you're being framed for harvest? Because I'm pretty sure I've been there this whole time. The "dead giveaway" being no matter how much work, you never acquire independence or earn self sufficient income. And anyone who joins you in your frame takes a huge hit in status, income, respect, really everything.

Finland is not on Eurasian continent. Finland is on the Nordic European continent. Finland 🇫🇮 is a Nordic country with Sweden 🇸🇪 Norway 🇸🇯 Denmark 🇩🇰 and Iceland 🇮🇸 politically, economically, religiously, culturally, and geographically.
This 'happiest country in the world' is propaganda. Finns have been trained for hundreds of years not to ever criticize their own country, especially to outsiders.
Should time travel ever become possible, I would like to go back to stone age Finland, find the first few people who looked at this place and said, "yes, I choose to live here" during their first summer. Then hang out with them as winter sets in. Then as *second* winter sets in. I would ask them, "are you really fucking sure about this?" After I dug the dude's ax out of my ribs, I would then go home.

Thanks! Well this goes well hand in hand then. Not the easiest language you have decided to learn 😅
Indeed 😅
Great Video :)
A very compact, informative and entertaining piece of the old history ... do schools already use it? It would e great too!
Thank you! I hope if not schools, then at least maybe some more enthusiastic pupils can look it up
Kiitos and Thank You for this Insightful Video.....the history is inspiring me to Create my own Short Stories.
Thank you! That is great to hear.
I love your art!
Thank you!
Great vid!
Cheers!
Absolutely awesome. I found out my scot ancestors were Fins. It is amazing to learn more about this culture
Thank you! That's great to hear. More of this series is coming soon ;)
Loved it!
Awesome! Thank you.
Seal was another animal that was hunted and probably moved people up the coast.
Great stuff!
Martti Haavio has written about Ahti being the patriarch (emuu) of the seal family but it didn't make it to the video I guess
olen todella kiitollinen että löysin kanavasi! perheeni muutti Suomesta Amerikkaan kun olin tosi nuori (noin 7v), joten en päässyt Suomen historian tunneilla kovin pitkälle. nyt ylioppilaana päätin käydä pulpetin ääreen oppimaan mistä hemmetistä tämä kaikki alkoi. lapsena historia ei kiinnostanut lainkaan, mutta vanhuus on vissiin iskeny kun tekee mieli muistella vanhoja....ja tottakai haluan myös osata vastaamaan Amerkkalisten kysymyksiin Suomen historiaan liittyen.
anyways, SUURET KIITOKSET SINULLE! jatka samaan malliin!!
Kiitos paljon! Mahtavaa kuulla :)
Where's the episode about the Proto-Finnic Holy Roman Khanganate and the Finno-Korean Hyperwar though?
Coming on April 1st 2024 maybe 😂
I really enjoy your channel. I have loved Finnish culture for some years now, bot historic and modern, and have dreamed of living in Finland, so thank you for this channel. I'm now a member, can you tell me how to acquire and use the custom emoji described in the members' perks?
Many thanks!!
Re: emoji, I'm not sure if it's only for live streams and such, I'll investigate.
It says:
Your emoji will appear in the emoji picker. Your members can also use emoji in comments and live chat by typing : immediately before and after the emoji name. For example, if the emoji name is wow, members can type :wow: to make it appear.
Is the emoji picker the thing you press to access all the emojis? Not sure 😅 The name is hannu (hannunvaakuna was too long), so by typing it should appear. If it works, I could make more of those!
@@Anttimation So I'm assuming the emoji picker is only for the live chat feature, got it!. Kiitos! Btw, taideteos on vittu uskomaton!
Kiitos videosta. Nyt viimeaikoina runsaammin perehtyneenä mesoliittiseen aikaan ja juurikin tuonne vanhimpiin löydöksiin (kuten antrean verkko) ja asutuksiin itäsuomessa oli ollut mukava kuulla tuosta aikakaudesta vielä lisää, sekä kampa ja -nuorakeraamisesta yms. Toki myös aika jolloin kantaurali tuli suomeen olisi kiva saada kokonaan omalle videolleen! Kiitoksia vielä
Kiitos! Kiinnostavia aiheita ehdottomasti. En vaan tiedä niistä ihan kauheasti, niin pitäisi tutkia ensin tarkemmin... Ellei sitten joku muu ehdi tekaista videota ensin 😁
Ihana video, paljon kiitoksia. Kaunis ja viisas, voimakas ja sisukas. Erinomainen huumorintaju.
Kiitos paljon! Näitähän on koko sarja, ja uusia osia vielä tulossa.
i do like how you pointed out the uralo-siberian theory. i personally believe in it.
sad you didnt mention how the finns came to finland (then inhabited by sami) from modern day northern estonia and how the story of kalevala might originate in the finns going north to finland. the realm of kalevala itself being an analogue to modern area of estonia and pohjola being an analogue to samic finland
Very intressting, so I am from Hungary, our history says, there were two brothers in somewhere in Mongolia, and then they split, one traveled to the north, and became the Sami, the other traveled to Hungary. When the first time a met a Sami, I felt so connected, even I dudnt know, he was a Sami. Because of the colours of the clothes, and the open way we spoke.
Haven't heard that before! Thanks for sharing.
Based narration
Kiitos!
Iso kiitos!! 🙌
Nice callout on Suibhne
the pagan age is the most interesting part of finnish history
And least known.
Video was fun and informative. Wish you more subscribers. BTE Finland had only two invaders... Look at Balkans.
Thank you! Yeah the history of humanity is filled with bloodshed, in some places even more than others.
Hauska, ei oo kristinusko jumalani. propsit. Kiiros jäbälle.
Better mention Kvenland and Bjarmia in future episodes.
Ok mutta... Homokampela? 😂
Juu, yhen kaverin keksimä nimi jonka sitten päätin vara.. lainata.
As a Swede I can say that Finland is so different from the other Nordic countries but still like the same / oh yeah sorry that we kinda took you over and then Russia took you over…. But thanks to that Swedish and Finnish history is a little bit same / in school the teachers don’t really talk about how we invaded Finland and they don’t say anything bad about it…. That sus….
No one is responsible for their ancestors' deeds. Still, thanks, I appreciate it :D
That's how I see Sweden/other Nordics too, similar but still quite different.
Finns mostly descend from corded ware people and portion of their ancestry is uralic with mixture of narva hunter gatherer ancestry with additional comb ware ancestry that can explain the high level of ancient north eurasian
Interesting - But where did the people come from? Wikipedia shows the Finno -Ugric languages, other than Hungary seem to be East of Finland. Some Finnish people have epicanthic folds which is also suggestive of an origin further to the East. If Asiatic people did settle the land, it's kind of obvious they bred with those of the South. What do I know? I live in the land of the Ojibwe and Ottawa and have never been even close to the lands of my ancestors. Good Art! Have a good one.
The old (nationalist) theory puts the primordial home of the proto-Finns in the "curve of the river Volga" but that's no longer supported. I can't say more specifically than from the east, and later from the west too. Many related Uralic peoples dwell in Siberia/Russia and their surviving folklore has been crucial to the studying of Finnish myths too.
@@Anttimation Yeh - I didn't mention the genetic thing. Native Americans share traits with the folks who live in North Asia giving strong credibility to them crossing an old land bridge across Alaska thousands of years ago. I think it may be found that there are similar genetic markers for you Finn folk also pointing East. Whatever it is - It is what it is. Keep drawing.
Finns have not got epicanthic folds more than other countries. Actually they are very very rare.
Finns in general have blond hair, blue eyes, white complexion and they are tall. Watch the video "Which country has the most blondies?" The answer is Finland.
@@butterflies655 Certainly not more than Japan. However, look into Lapland. Sami people have these characteristics. Not always, but they are there. My father's family is from the Rovaniemi area and this feature pops up in some relatives.
@@daniellarson3068 The Sami ppl are a different race and they have a completely different culture. Finland even has not gotten them very much. Norway has them most. Sweden is the second and Finland the third.
they were Sami nykysuomalaisten vanhojen eurooppalaisten goottien ja ugrilaisten heimojen sekoitus Suomi vwas vain suoalue etelään ja Viroon reigndeer-kansat kattoivat koko jääkauden alueen ja muuttivat pohjoiseen tänne ne vaelsivat ja eteläsuomalaiset muuttivat pohjoiseen sekoittuen siksi ei pysyviä paikkoja, koska he käyttivät telttoja
"Urasian continent" thank you!
Well it's the name of the continent... So you're welcome 😁
Odotan mielenkiinnolla kuinka yksityiskohtaiseksi vedät tämän 🤔
Aattelin tehdä ensin tällaiset yleiskatsaukset 2000-luvulle asti, ja sitten myöhemmin ehkä lisäjaksoja väleihin esim. sodista tai eri aikakausien arjesta ym.
@@Anttimation odotan innolla 😄👍
Is this Egyptian propaganda to try to occult the greatness of the proto holy roman finish khanate?
Aside joks, i really like the drawing of the video. Great work!
If it was Egyptian propaganda I'd never admit it... 😉
There is a question l wish to know if Finland people
recognized that 三苗(a group of people in China )
sound exactly like Sami ？
Have no idea about that tbh!
One mistake Indus Valley Civilization is not Southeast Asia but South Asia especially the region of todays northwestern India. Otherwise very nice video.
Thanks! I'll try to remember to correct it when I compile all the episodes into one video.
Oh god not slash and burn! Anything but slash and burn!
What I've been able to piece together is, Finns are what Estonians are, mixed with some Swedish and some Hun. That is, Asiatics who evolved light hair and eyes. Compared to Swedish, German types whose ancestors were Mediteranneans (like Sardinians) who evolved light hair and eyes. And both got intelligence boosts from consuming Amanita mushrooms.
Wtf🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
hirvi perkele!
As far as I remember the recent research shows that the Fennic languages weren't used in the area before the early metal age.
Also the time of the introduction of Ukko or any other personifications of the forces of nature is questionable. We also don't know if Ukko was actually the most important of these or if that is a later idea.
Also the war axe culture, better known as the corded ware culture, was a thing only in the southwest part of the area nowadays known as Finland. The much bigger inland area had a different culture, and this divide went on through the bronze age as well.
What was the name of the inland culture?
@@Anttimation Asbestos-ceramic cultures is the general name, but there were many different named regional cultures within the group.
@@lottaraatikainen3942 Ah yes!

banger video mutta pikkasen hiljasemmalle kun laitat musaa ni täydellinen, kiitos 🏴☠
Kiitos! Joo, se losahti tässä videossa turhan kovalle jostain syystä. Seuraavassa osassa jo korjattu 🤓
🤺☦🇷🇺Dear and beloved Finnics, you are the founders of our Rus nation. You are the descendants of Meshech
Finno ugric split from uralic in the early bronze age in western siberia. Before the late bronze age modern finland was inhabited by paleoeuropeans and indoeuropeans who were later replaced by sami and finns
Kalevala on suomalaisen oma versio saksalaisesta
Saksalaisesta Kalevalasta..?
Oh wow, is that when you are ritualisticly and meticulously born and looped into a dimension that appears normal but it's very much not normal and you track uphill both ways and aquire massive amounts of experience and abilities from hardships, and you're not supposed to know that you were likely born dead but you're being framed for harvest? Because I'm pretty sure I've been there this whole time. The "dead giveaway" being no matter how much work, you never acquire independence or earn self sufficient income. And anyone who joins you in your frame takes a huge hit in status, income, respect, really everything.

Loistavaa animaatiota täytyy sanoa kyl.
Kiitos!
tosi hyvä animaatio mutta tarvii innokaampaa tarinan lukijaa
Joo, en ole ääninäyttelijä, kuten tarkkakorvaisimmat saattavat huomata :D
Kannattaa katsoa Kalevala-videot Reidar Waseniuksen eeppisellä tulkinnalla:

Finland is not on Eurasian continent.
Finland is on the Nordic European continent. Finland 🇫🇮 is a Nordic country with Sweden 🇸🇪 Norway 🇸🇯 Denmark 🇩🇰 and Iceland 🇮🇸 politically, economically, religiously, culturally, and geographically.
Finland is indeed on the Eurasian continent, continent being a continuous landmass separate from the sea.
@@Anttimationdefinitely it is. Not.
This 'happiest country in the world' is propaganda. Finns have been trained for hundreds of years not to ever criticize their own country, especially to outsiders.
Yeah... Except no 😂
