Edit: Anyone seen "The 13th Warrior"? This movie is based on a novel by Michael Chrichton, and this is based on Beowulf. And when Beowulf = Nibelungen, than... remember that the vikings in the beginning said they were harassed by a Dragon, what was later revealed as the Neanderthalians on the march...
Beowulf is seperate and, apart from Beowulf, most of the characters can be identified with real historical persons from around the 2nd Century AD irrc. It is now thought that Geatland may be what is modern Northern Sweden and that the Geats were forced out and accross the water the Britain.
