Bonus Episode 11a: Svear, Götar, Gutar ; The Three Threads

In Episode 11, you heard the words Svear and Götar , but what did those names actually mean? And where did these tribes come from before history began writing about them?

This bonus episode is a short, quiet dive into the etymology, and the mystery of a nation.

But then comes the harder question. The one that kept the host up at night.

How were these tribes even formed? Where did they come from before they had names?

The honest answer: we don't know. And that silence may be the most important thing of all.
