Archaeologists Explain Life In Viking Britain | Digging For Britain

[@FutureMythology]

These Viking Britain videos are an enthralling exploration of a fascinating era in history. I'm captivated by the tales of Norse invaders and their impact on Britain!

Anytime I hear about the St. Brice's Day massacre, or the Dane murder as it's called here in Sweden, I always get chills and feel such sadness for the people who lost their lives that day. Maybe they weren't killed by Anglo-Saxon friends and neighbors, but still these were people they must have known in passing, seen on the road, or in the fields, or from the next village over. These were not strangers from far away that showed up one day. It makes the whole event so much more chilling to me.

[@virginiajayhudgins8277]

And so very sad.

[@JusticeforJessica-Gomez]

Me too and THEN 23 and me showed me I am blood related to victims!!! 😳

[@JacobafJelling]

I’m saddened for my ancestors anytime I hear of it too. Greetings from Denmark

[@JusticeforJessica-Gomez]

@ me too I am directly decended from Ragnar Rollo AND king Egbert!!! I feel this tragedy so deeply and yet I was born nearly a thousand years later .., it’s crazy

[@gonefishing167]

Really interesting. I ran out of time to see the Viking Museum in York when I was there. The day I had intended to go they were filming there ( someone said Dame Judy Dench but I’ve never seen anything in Australia about it) and I left the next day. Sad, but at least we have wonderful programs like this to help us ‘see’. Thank you 🙏👵🇦🇺

[@raidtheferry]

Wow thanks for adding the progress-bar indicator thing during the ad placement I really _really_ appreciate it when YT videos have that unfortunately tho its super rare to see

[@trudeyhenley4982]

Brilliantly done and so interesting.

[@maryearll3359]

I've got a set of Lewis chessmen bought from the Stornoway museum where I saw the originals. Lewis and Harris are beautiful - white sands, clear sea and the history hits you as you get off the ferry. Do go, you won't regret it. ❤

[@anthb3377]

I live in a village called Norton, Stockton on tees and we had a large Anglo Saxon burial ground that got discovered by some kids in 1984, 120 bodies were discovered.

[@brendadrew834]

Thank you, loved this! This American from Yankee New ENGLAND whose forebears came here in the 1700s and fought in the Revolutionary War is proud of her British/English, Scottish/Irish, French and Viking ancestry, per DNA tests, that dates all the way back to William the Conqueror. Family surname, Drew, on my maternal side i.e. mother's maiden name, is mentioned in his Doomsday Book in 1066 where he compiled all the original families in England! Always fascinated by British and Viking history!! ♥♥

[@Sharon-f6d5y]

I live in Australia but have family connections in Skye. My understanding is that there is Viking history there as well.

[@melanierhianna]

It was part of the Kingdom of the Western Isles and was viking until the 13th century.

[@tinakon4386]

Very well narrated to make it more than interesting. thank you! Dr Roberts

[@SuzanneCoe]

Really like the series, wondered if the vikings’ settled in Devon, around Torquay and surrounding areas too? 👍👍

[@fraeris68]

Thanks for these videos 👍 What an exciting history we have 🤩 Greetings from Norway 🇸🇯

[@Davidf8L]

Thanks for your work and time ❤

Basically my ancestors. Red beard, brown hair, blue eyes, nordic face, GrandDad from Ireland a Mullen. Nanna was a Rolland from Yorkshire(Doncaster), Nanni was a Mushrow with some French ancestory, and my Pop was a Hughes from Liverpool. Im completely lactose tolerant, and mainly eat meat and dairy as most of my diet and always have. I feel extremely drawn to dark Age England! And also to Rome, and the Vikings, by proxy of their occupations and integrations

[@JohannesVanDerStuyvebode]

Basically the end product of rape.

[@taylormade2826]

Im almost exactly the same im from liverpool, brown hair, blue eyes, ginger pubes and beard😂

[@GregoryShtevensh]

@taylormade2826 haha, I got the beard but still had brown hair "elsewhere". 😂

[@langyd4518]

[@GregoryShtevensh]

[@watersrising8044]

Fascinating and very well done. Perhaps other videos in this series explore the devastating impacts of Viking attacks and pillaging on the native British population?

[@ava.artemis]

Very interesting, love this channel ♥️

[@afternoobtea914]

Hnefatafl - or as we call it fistboard. We play it still. And runes are still tought in the schools here.

[@cw7422]

I was in the US Navy and was stationed at RAF Edzell for a total of 7 years. I guess archaeologists go hunting during the 2 weeks which they call summer.

[@JohannesVanDerStuyvebode]

No, you were not.

Good this. Well done to all involved! 🌟👍

[@michaeldpa1333]

The History Channel Viking Series, the BBC and Netflix production "The Last Kingdom" and Netflix original "Vikings Valhalla" do much honor to Britain's amazing Heritage. All three series available now on Netflix (2024). Enjoy!

[@gadams47]

When was this show aired?

[@jenniferlyons4150]

Very interesting video.

[@DarialKuznetsova]

Soooo, anyone else hear Gloin's "We're making a long-term deposit." when looking at the cup where the dosh was and the fact it was dug up? Or is it just me?

[@luapnosboh7421]

Used to look forward to time team on a sunday evening , this lass has got it 👍 great 👍

[@mlady6564]

I sense chemistry between the presenter and the archaeologist. 😊

[@tomwickham8938]

So the AS's asked on St. Bryce's Day..."What kind of Briton are you?" 😮

[@joshuajw8491]

[@_M_a_r_t_i_n_M]

As a coin collector, what I would do to be able to acquire a coin like that King Athelstan buried in a hoard nearly uncirculated. Most of the 'decent' quality ones you can find from that era, if you can find them, have been defaced, chipped away at by merchants collecting silver tiny bit by tiny bit before using those coins to make purchases. That one was as close to immaculate as I have seen from ancient coins. You can find Roman coins intact fairly easily and coins from other more prosperous eras in good shape. But there is a reason that specific coin is a museum piece and not in some average collector's hands.

[@mauricecalliss1303]

Some chief or trader must have had his own sweatshop making bone combes for trade .

Well, if you look at the thumbnail you'll notice the lad is in the driver's seat🌝🍿

Back when defending your country from invaders wasn't called racist or xenophobic, and men had a purpose

[@GandalfTheGay98]

Agreed

[@lionheart830]

Can't make coherent words from the runes? Not surprising. Look at old English from 1,000 years back. Many struggle with that too.

[@maggirae1961]

The chess pieces have six fingers--you didn't mention that

[@ReshonBryant]

Well, maybe because they don't wanna wake the beast. For instance there's only one existing rock mentioning the Viking god Odin🎩

You guys want a connection to the Vikings so bad but the Vikings came from a very small village and all their stuff is in that village today.

We know what British was and what you're kind are trying to make it. No one is confused about what is going on. Damn shame we don't have the moral strength to commit violence to defend ourselves. Hello 5 eyes

[@mueezadam8438]

⁠@@travis5211”yOuR KiNd” lmao. You clearly are confused because this ‘change’ has been going on ever since Britain became an empire. You think you can get better than NAFTA deals without maintaining close relationships with your former colonies? Without trade the UK is just a frigid island so do your country a service and learn to tolerate your fellow citizens

[@Trixieghosts245]

Oh there is, they're called the Welsh.
