Ok /lit/ /sci/ and /tv/ I need your help. Im extremely (putting it lightly) interested on learning about the tribal early days of man in Europe. The days around the stone age and the later metal ages. Recommend me books, or good documentaries on them please. I want to learn about the Germanic tribes etc. I want to know everything, tools, warfare, what they wore, what and how they farmed, all of it.

Thanks for helping me out.

Oh fuck you, taking your Caesar corrupted history books to heart.

OP, shit like this is because of when tribes (ie. the Celts) kicked the Roman army's ass, so suddenly they were barbaric cannibals and shit.

Germanic tribes believed in norse mythology or related paganism, there is written and studied a lot about the subject.

I once started reading the translation of prose edda, which i found on internet. But it is vague as shit like poetry, and stopped reading after half a page.

what about the Celts, are there any good books on them to learn about their society?

Watching barbarians rape children and idiotically kill each other in a stadium. Roman Culture at its finest.

Celtic mythology was good, but then most of it was lost due to Catholicism.

Viking (I know it's later, but still) had poets. But they ain't the kind of hipster you see these days.

Tribe kings among Vikings would hire poets, and force them to join actual combat, to make sure the poem wouldn't be boring and capture all the might of the Viking king.

It's like every reporter back then where a war reporter. Who actual participate in combat.
