Huge longhouse discovered at Gjellestad

In 2018 the Gjellestad ship burial was discovered in Halden, Norway. The excavations of the ship burial is finished, but a new research project called Viking Nativity has been put together, to further explore the area around the ship. They have already made some huge discoveries!

I've been following this find in the news, it's super exciting and I hope they get to excavate most of it. I talked to someone who had been there and looked at the excavation of the ship and they said it was amazing! (not jealous at all...) so I hope the preservation process goes smoothly and the finds can be presented to the public soon. These videos are great Christopher, keep em coming.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm hoping to do a on location video from this project next year. It's not to far from my place.

Another educating and entertaining video, thanks Christopher. I've just spent 5 days in Tromso where it was nice and cold and I managed to see the lights as well. Hopefully I'll get to go back but I need to save up a lot of money first :-)

That's awesome! The North is beautiful and I'm hoping to check it out in more detail myself soon!

[@dominicconnor3437]

This is going to be a great discovery to watch unfold if they excavate.

[@NorseReign]

I'll keep you updated!

Correction: The world's biggest longhouse in Lofoten was not 87 meters, but 83 meters (272 ft). Still huge, though!

Great video! Excellent information. I would love to see more artifacts unearthed that help humanize and sympathize the viking mythology. As you say, many of the more notable people from that era have been deemed as the bad guy.

Thanks Doomfruit! It's the victors who write history, and even though King Olav fell in Stiklestad his movement would become victorious. Thorir Hund was fighting to keep Norway pagan, like many others. He's a hero in his own right. I'll make a video about him at some point!
