	Viking Age Finland - All Empires
		The finds from that period are culturally in the Western Finnish Cultural Group, and therefore it is assumed, that there was an influx of inhabitants into the area from western Finland, although it cannot be proved nor can the origin of the objects be determined.
		It was this influx of cultural influence, that when mingled together, gave birth to a distinguishable Karelian Culture, which separated it from the Western Finnish Culture.
		The heart-lands of Karelian culture were the regions around Lake Ladoga, especially the western shore and Käkisalmi, which was perhaps the most important Karelian settlement.

		7.2.6 Culture Swedes work hard, pay high taxes, try to be open minded towards other cultures (there is much immigration, which most people seem to accept), enjoy their traditions (around Christmas and Midsummer, for instance), but it is not true we should be among the heaviest drinkers in the world.
		Many popular cultural personalities are of immigrant background, but few have let this become a part of their image.
		The Savolaxians in the woods were isolated and remained culturally different for hundreds of years (the migration was ended at 1680 when maybe 10'000 Finns had moved to the woods of western Svealand).

	4.3 History
		Thus the coast became a separate ("Finnish") cultural zone with elements of both cultures, whereas the hunter-gatherers of the inland continued the traditional lifestyle and seem to have developed to the Sámi culture.
		The similarity of the coastal bronze culture with that of Scandinavia is easily explained with cultural diffusion; there are no evidence of a conquest, and though much is similar, there are notable differences too.
		During the "Roman Iron Age" (A.D. 1-400) evidences are convincing for a Baltic sea-farer culture connecting estuaries at Elbe (west for Jutland) and Vistula (at Gdansk) with Finland, Estonia and Sweden.

	Finns - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Through comparative linguistics, it has been postulated that the separation of the Baltic-Finnic and the Sami languages took place during the 2nd millennium BC, the proto-Uralic roots of the entire language group dating perhaps from ca.
		In Finland, after centuries of coexistence and intermarriages, the differences between Finnish and Swedish speakers are typically not seen in terms of ethnicity [18] but in differences of culture, language, and geographical region (habitat).
		The Swedish-speakers are found in majority in a few communities in the south-western coast and the rural areas of Ostrobothnia; Finnish speakers form a majority in most of the rest of Finland.

	All Empires History Forum: Essay: on Viking Age and Early Medieval Finland
		South Ostrobothnia in earlier times had quite a wealthy culture of its own, which at times seems to have surpassed that of southern Finland, prior to the Viking age, but new trade contacts to the east and the south all but drained it of its life force.
		Karelia was something of a late-comer to the Viking world, but it would flourish as perhaps the most influential of the Finnic tribes of north of the Gulf of Finland.
		The hill-fort of Rapola in the heart-lands of Tavastia is the biggest hill-fort to have been discovered in Finland and the ceded Karelian territories.

		Finland's version of Gwar, Impaled Nazarene's Death Comes in 26 Carefully Selected Pieces is their first official live record and was originally recorded on December 19th '04 at Helsinki's Tavastia Club.
		A long 26 tracks of some of the heaviest thrash and speed I've heard, Death Comes is a brutal smash to even the hardest core fans.
		I can say for certain that Impaled Nazarene are one of the most brutal depictions of thrash and could easily shred eighty percent of the rest of the troops out there doing it and then hang for a beer with the other twenty.

		The Benedectine order was not established until 528 C.E., whereas at least 9,000 years ago (when the Baltic and North Seas formed a link known as the Litorina Sea), early Finnish- speakers were forming settlements on coastal regions and throughout the three distinct ecological regions in the area.
		These regions were identified as 1) the Arctic, 2) the Woodland regions (including Kainuu, Ostrobothnia, Savo, Satakunta, Tavastia, Karelia), and 3) the Coastal Lowlands (including Satakunta, Uusimaa and Ahvenanmaa).
		These settlers were speaking Finnish (and had evolved a shamanistic religion) at least 7 millenia before "Benedictine monks" supposedly applied a "special invention technique" from the "Pannonhalma scriptorium" for development of the Finnish and "Lappish" languages.
