Are the romans correct in that human development can only flourish in mediterranean climates? Why Italy, Greece, Anatolia, The Levant and North Africa produced high culture and civilization but northern europe never produced any civilization of note? Instead being squalid, ape like, primitive and barbarous sub human savages for most of their existence? Are nords a lesser race?

I can ask you a similar question: What have Southern European countries produced since the Industrial Revolution?
I'm not a Nordicist, the ideology is retarded and Europeans are better off working together instead of infighting because of abstract identities only caused by geographical barriers, but your useless larping as your ancestors from several centuries ago while producing nothing worthwhile either in culture or technology got tiring yesrs ago already.

HRE, Charlemagne, Dutch Golden Age, Northern Renaissance, second Agricultural Revolution etc. All these predate the industrial revolution

Not him, but you are just a Nordicist yourself if you buy into lies that Southern Europe produces "nothing". Nuclear power, founding father of neuroscience was Spanish, internal combustion engine, Lagrangian mechanics, the battery, the telephone, nitroglycerin, like 20% of the top AI researchers are ethnically Greek, modern polymer chemistry (a 2 person team, an Italian and German did this), Italy has the best machine tooling industry in the world and Greeks are disproportionately represented at the upper echelons of academic research in general, Nuno Loureiro a Portuguese was the world's foremost expert in nuclear fusion until his assassination. I could list these things off all day, but you have an agenda and I realized it's pointless to argue with such people like you who believe that modern technology and science was some exclusive product of "the Germanic mind" and Southern Europeans were just dumb moors who loafed around for centuries because they became too depleted of Nordic blood or whatever. More of us need to put our foot down and say we're not going to be your niggers anymore while you slander us and you're going to need to afford us the respect we deserve or we don't want to have anything to do with what you're selling.

You missunderstood me. I'm a bit drunk right now since I have visited the Plärrer (German festival giving me an exxcuse to get wasted), I just eanted to say that there isn't much of a disparity between Nordic and Med countries after the pist-war period.

No, I don't. Romans were a different peopel and culture from mine.

Which was really the backbone of the industrial era. Them mastering softwoods, coal and different metallurgical processes led up to the industrial revolution.

Sweden alone basically allowed the scientific revolution and most metallurgical advances of the middle ages and after to occur because since the Viking Age they found different processes to make reliable, high purity and predictable iron. It was a massive problem in Europe beforehand even with some significant advances since the Roman Empire.

These are just off the top of my head btw.

Italy is the greatest nation in human history. The rest of the Mediterranean are shitskins who take credit for Italian inventions and only prosper when they receive Italian genes through rape.
If Mussolini had rebuilt the Roman Empire and enslaved all non-Italians we would be living in a golden age today

You do know that Romans took most inventions from other peoples?

Soap appears to be a concept that originated in northern Europe during the neolithic. Noticing some different etymological positions, but the idea of soap and the word for it seems to have come from proto-Germanic into Latin, then dispersed into other languages.

Very few people outside of northern Europe appear to use it for bathing historically as well. Romans used oil and scraping. Islamic culture seems to have refined this further, and it wasn't common in the middle East beforehand either. I'm wondering if there are any papers on this but can't find any.

>>18435309
Doesn't this basically disprove racism? Because it's not scientifically possible for Northern Europeans to become smarter than Southern Europeans in just 1500 years, it takes a long time for things like that to evolve. So it seems socioeconomic conditions explain these phenomena better than race. Finland is one of the richest and most developed nations in the world today and the first Finnish book was written in the 16th century.

"The Gaulish invention sapo is also useful for dying one's hair red. It is made of animal fat and ash; the best kind is made of ash from beech trees and fat from goats. It comes in two types, a viscous one and a more runny one, both of which are more commonly used by men than women amongst the Germanic peoples."

Meds and Nords are more similar to each other than to outsiders.

The explanation is pretty simple. Low population density and tribal culture delayed the critical mass of urban centers needed for civilization to a later point than in southern europe. Even so, in southern europe cities spread in via anatolia and weren’t a native invention.

At Rome’s relative population peak, it’s European territories contained 90% of living Europeans. It was a pan-european empire in the sense that most Europeans were Roman subjects. Rome spreads some degree of civilization but major cities don’t really pop up like we think of them, but this is the point where the northerners, over centuries of trade, developed their numbers. Then, as things transition into the middle ages, the core of Charlemagne’s empire is north of the Alps, but super “Nordic” areas like Scandinavia are still rough and low population. By about 700, you have the Saxons and also the Gaels having their own independent literary traditions including esteemed latinists such as Bede and Alcuin (who was such an authority that he, as an Englishman, was allowed to create the standard latin pronunciation for all the Italians and Gauls in Charlemagne’s empire to use). So I would consider that period a clear point where the northerners are producing literary works and technological progress, which just so happens to be when they have relatively developed hamlets and trade networks that aren’t for resource extraction to Italy.

>Romans used oil and scraping.
That sounds disgusting. Imagine being an ancient Roman in the hot Mediterranean sun just covered in sweat and old bath olive oil all day. And yest I know they rinsed with water but you know water alone does a poor job at getting oil out of your skin, that's why soap had to be invented in the first place, it's literally a degreaser.

That's great anon, can't believe I didn't remember this reference. That it was seen as a foreign development even then is incredible.

>>18436366
Eh, they had some pretty impressive standards for the time anon. More so for the rich. You would have had to pass through different rooms called thermae in the process, with different levels of heat and moisture. At the end after all the gross oil and sweat was thoroughly scraped and rinsed off, you stepped into this cold room, like a cold plunge. You emerged with your skin exfoliated and clean and feeling refreshed. They would do this year-round and it requires some significant slave labor and resources to work.

This was how it worked under ideal conditions. Public baths and facilities for the poor seem pretty horrifying most times based on first hand accounts and many used perfume bathing, which is to say, they masked their stank. And it's more like you described. People dipping in pools of oil and God knows what.

Northern Europe produced every civilisation of note. Italians were Nordic until recently.
>>
I’ll give you a serious non shit post answer.

There’s a reason the first civilizations started in the Middle East and slowly spread north. It’s easier to build a society in hot climates. Nordic civilization required a higher level of technology to start then the warmer med civilizations did
