📜 Ibn Fadlan: A Viking Funeral - Ibn Fadlan might not be as popular or as well-traveled as Ibn Battuta, but his travels took him north where he ran into some of the strangest people he had ever met. The Vikings. Ibn Fadlan fawned over the impressive Rus Vikings, but was also disgusted by their habits. But most importantly, he wrote down all of his observations, including a Viking funeral.

Just for the guys wandering "why there is a lot of IBN" Ibn in Arabic means "son of" its like family name Son of fadhlan, son of batuta, son of sina...etc Edit: just to clarify in Arabs culture u'll have a different family name from ur father for example ur name is Mohamed, your father's name is ahmed and your grandfather's name is omar so: -ur father's full name is ahmed ibn omar. -ur full name is Mohamed ibn ahmed Thats how naming system work in old arabia and they mostly mention alot of their grandfathers if some one asked theme for their full name its goes like: Mohamed ibn ahmed ibn omar ibn ali ibn...etc Sorry for my bad English

Despite this there are still a lot of Arab talents, for example, the Apple which you are using now the founder of her company is originally Arab ... but your racist media will not mention this.

@Tarik Hodzic We in islam value human life. And then life of Environment and Animals. It is NEVER OK to kill anything be it and Animal or a Human without a serious justification for either. Example, to kill an Animal for food is ok. To kill a person in a state of war (2 combatants) is ok (because its a state of war). Self defense as well (to protect yourself or family) Any other reason is forbidden and has heavy consequences in the hereafter.

You can actually find the whole description narrated on (at least) two KZbin channels: Voices of the Past and ABAlphaBeta. You can also find a lot of other cool stuff on both of them. Voices of the Past is dedicated to the primary historical sources (and it's essentially a side project to the History Time channel, which has cool documentaries), while ABAlphaBeta has miscellaneous stuff, mostly revolving around history and linguistics, sometimes shitposting. And yeah, the ritual Ibn Fadlan is describing is quite disturbing, especially since he dwells more on that "sexual component" that was kinda glossed over in this video (understandably) but doesn't comment it much if I recall correctly.

@@drip3889 For Ibn Sina, Iranian is more fitting than being a Persian since ethnically he might have been a Tajik. But that's right too. Anywho, while Persian is generally an ethnicity, people with lineage way back to the Zoroastrian era, Arab is not an ethnicity. Arabic speaking people are Arabs. The ones that invaded northern Africa and eventually Andalusia, are Arabs. Unless you count the later Amazigh converts who are still Amazigh, or Berbers. They have their own language and culture. Never were Arabs. Same goes for the native Coptic Egyptians and Nubians.. although most of them have accepted Arabic. A lot of those people would prefer to be called Egyptians rather than Arabs.

How can you imitate something when you have only evaluated what you see on your journey? After all, there were European travelers before there were even muslims and Europeans were in regions where muslims never were. Also, you can't unify the two. From the University of Timbukto one finds reports of Muslim travelers who did not want to call other peoples human and thus legitimized their enslavement. Have you seen the series about IBn battuta? He already had some prejudices against other cultures and customs in particular against polytheistic Chinese. He was no less prejudiced than Marco Polo. European travelers like Gonzalo Guerrero admired the culture of the Mayans and learned with them the cultural differences and especially martial techniques. He even cored the language of the Mayans. Portugese travelers also learned with the native peoples of Brazil. You will see biases and impartialities bon both types of travelers. None of them were better

You guys are one of my favorite KZbin channels, and I think one of your series could do a great job of covering this very interesting topic. I’m not a Patreon (money is harddddd) but I really hope maybe you guys could cover this.

I really want you to cover more Islamic and Arab culture. I personally feel that we are incredibly hated, especially in the media (TV, news, internet). I love it when you do these episodes because it doesn't make me feel ashamed. I also would love it if you covered more about our Christian and Jewish brothers' and sisters' heritages. If you don't want to do that. That is ok. Best Wishes - Doodlefest

Bought this book, I can recommend it. The version I bought also contains multiple stories of Arab/Persian travellers to Russia between the 10th and 14th century. Its very interesting to read how these area's developed from the time of Ibn Fadlan's visit in 922 (933 a.d. as written by Ibn Fadlan).

I'm a Norwegian-American, and my direct ancestors were Vikings like these folks. It amazes me how we were straight-up the definition of barbarian bad guys. My great-(x)-grandfather was out there raping nuns, then locking the entire village in the church and burning it down. We shouldn't have to be morally relative about the terrible things that the culture of my ancestors did, and we shouldn't excuse terrible things that other cultures do today because "it's just their culture; you can't judge it." Objectively, all humans have feelings and worth, and we can and should say something when others are wounded or repressed in the name of "different values." To anyone whom they hurt, I apologize on behalf of my ancestors.

Nice video, btw Ibn fadlan is my favorate traveler, and as i have read his account myself (in arabic), I can tell it is FAR more intertaining and interesting than watching this wrapped up short video. One gets to see through the traveller's eyes and his own imagination, feel his impressions, smile as ibn fadlan gradually becomes a friend, and feel the horror .. specially in that sacrifice scene. Btw i found it to be a norm of muslim travellers to describe the looks and physique of the nations they encounter, so i dont think ibn fadlan had a sexual attraction for the rus (quite funny actually), and it reminds me of a chineese account discribing the romans in similar words (perfect bodies), that is; larger/taller bodies are more powerful and kind of superior
