 December 2007 (UTC)  ::Somewhat surprising comment, that you don’t consider the very origin of the country you live in encyclopaedic. Luckily some do. The very funny thing is that just about any information about Denmark before the year 1000, including much of the Viking age, is nothing but urban legends and speculation, that scholar, interested in these things, try to string together, with just about no verifiable references or facts. In fact that goes for much of world history. Example, if I remember correct the entire chronology of Ancient Egypt is based on 2 or 3 solid dates, with 200 some pharaohs aligned into that over 3000 years. Can you imagine the scope of error that is available here, yet I would be terrible sad if someone suggested deleting Ancient Egypt on account of no verifiable references or facts. What I have added is what various Danish scholars has arrived at, in summarises form already. Too much text is not an argument; this is how the case is and the etymology of Denmark does not come pre-packed in a nice little cube to select bits from, unfortunately.   00:33, 10
