Academia argumentation isn't generally funny but sometimes timing makes it so, like the guys who published a massive "Actually, the Justinianic Plague wasn't a big deal at all" two months before COVID started spreading like wildfire around the planet

Never stops being hilarious to me that 99 percent of pseudoarchaeology and ancient alien conspiracy theories can be easily debunked by introducing the stunning concept of "wooden rollers for moving heavy things along the ground with less friction"

If this hypothesis is correct, and it has a lot to recommend it, then the first kings in Scandinavia were veterans of the Roman army, who returned home with their knowledge and emulated what they'd seen. Centuries later, they became the ring-givers of Beowulf and Viking warlords.

In the centuries to come, we see hundreds upon hundreds of imported Roman-made and locally mass-produced weapons being tossed into Scandinavian bogs. These are called "weapons sacrifices," and they're an archaeological sign of the first round of state formation in Scandinavia.

Some of these recruits came from southern Scandinavia, mostly today's Denmark. How do we know this? Because, when they returned home, they brought their weapons with them, some of which they ritually deposited in bogs. Roman-made weapons appear right around 180 AD, not before.

Was Marcus Aurelius responsible for the Viking Age, 600 years after his death? Kind of! During the Marcomannic Wars (166-180) and the Antonine Plague, the Roman army suffered a pretty serious manpower crisis, and began recruiting heavily from beyond the frontiers.

It doesn't really sink in how insane the Roman Empire was until you write a sentence like "We have the skeleton of a man in York who was bitten by a lion."
