Not so much knowledge in history

[Hegix]

Until we reached 1658 in history class all we learned about was other peoples history. First Greeks and Romans then Swedes. Denmark was an evil warmongering nation in the south, but noone mentions that we were Danes.

I recently sat next to a group of teens discussing the new Arn movie (Swedish movie about a crusader that travels from Sweden to Jerusalem, becomes friends with Saladin, then travels back and defeats the Danes) when they talked about how "we" defeated the Danes in the end. I felt an urge to walk up to them and slap them for their ignorance.

As a side note, until I started playing EB I had no idea who the Epirotes were. I knew about Pyrrhus and his "victory", but always figured Epirus was an Italian city-state or something. I have the EB team to thank for firing up an interest in ancient history that I never really had before.

We noble Swedes would be Danes? How dare you?! Obviously we are The Superior Race, destined to rule the world with our blonde hair flying in the wind, our steelblue eyes seeing all and with a dozen of our legendary bimbos at our side.
