Recent studies of Finnish and Scandinavian history and linguistics are suggesting that the legends of Kalevala might be true (to some point at least) and Väinämöinen has been the king of Finland and Scandinavia.

And the history that has been taught so far is due to the lame Swedes who were the ruling class in Finland back a century or two ago. They rewrote history so that it would favour them and Finns would feel dumb and wouldn't rise against them.
