DO High school's do this sort of thing often? Make videos depicting a moment in history? I've seen quite a bit of them in the US.

Our assignment was a 2-3 page paper but we decided to go off the deep end and make a movie we blew everyone else's project away. =D

Didn't realize the ancient Germanics were gay mulattoes in trenchcoats. Thanks for the valuable history lesson.

@yoavri You find that a good reason do you? All religions are based on massacres. Believe what we believe or else we kill you and rape your family. Long live religion! Idiot.

@ContreJours Also contrary to popular legend, the migration period from which christendom arose was actually a rich cultural period giving birth to new technologies, advances in the arts, and trade centers. The knowledge of Greece and Rome was not forgotten by the "barbarians." but when Charlemange and his empire were long gone, it was not the Christian west but the Muslim east that the world relied on to save that treasure.

@TheGuyFromChicago Contrary to popular legend, the Middle Ages was an era of progress which led to the Renaissance. It was the fall of Rome, which was the peak of the chaos, the barbarians have created chaos in Europe, not Christians, not the laws of Rome. To find order in this mess, it took time, laws, re organization, this would never have been possible without the knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome, the Franks have saved this treasure...

@ContreJours I believe the dullness of peasantry in the following middle ages (Dark Ages) was much more mediocre than the glory of the heathen warriors, the skalds, the carvers, and the seafarers. Hail Odin! Hail the gods! I wallow in your "mediocrity" myself!
