Reply to comment by banestyrelsen in How do countries that lack long, ancient histories and myths (or feel they lack it), or have lost all records of them, compensate for this loss or absence?

It helps that most of what is known about those traditions was written down here first, but most people lack understanding of the fact that there was a gap of many centuries from Christianization in 1000 until we wrote down the "ancient myths" so they are probably heavily Christianized, even the Eddas
