I'm Dutch, but know Norway very well. I got a Norwegian girlfriend when I was 16. That, kind of, petered out when I was 20 and had to do my military service, but was rekindled when I was stationed for 3 the last months of service with the Fast Assault Group in Haakonsvern when the international integration of European forces started in earnest, especially between the The Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. Then I started to work on my future and she on hers. Don't talk about Norway and The Netherlands when it is about ice skating. Well, that was back in the 70s. In all, beautiful country, beautiful people, beautiful economy and quality of life. What else do you need?

I learned a few months ago the connection between Liverpool and Norway from a KZbin video where a scouse historian told a facinating story. In the 1800’s about Norwegian whalers docking in Liverpool for supplies. Occssionally hiring a dock hand or two and giving them the warm and hearty Norwegian meat stew called lapskaus wich is a traditional meal in Norway. The Liverpoolians called it lobscouse. 😊

It's quite amusing that many youtubers show the Vasa ship, from the 17th century, when talking about Viking longships

Whale as beef with sour cream and onion sauce is very good and give you enough vitamins like D3 vitamin and omega. As susi its veeery good and even as raw food❤

He forgot to mention Aurora is the voice of the north wind in Frozen 2 😆

Don't fret... All Norwegian kids know ! ❄️❄️⛄️❄️❄️👸❄️❄️ 👩‍🦳🇳🇴

Jonas Gahr Støre is the Norwegian prime minister now, been that since 2021, Erna Solberg was the Prime Minister from 2013 to 2021

[@Mads-hl8xj]

And we see how these politicians have destroyed Our country.... Worst prime ministers EVER.

[@monicabredenbekkskaar1612]

What I like about Norway, my home country, are words like equality, like humility, like pride - in a positive way. Our Christian values ​​and our new religion only reinforce our cooking and continue its idea of ​​who and what we are. We can only hope it will continue. We have a soul that sees that we are all in contact and in communion with each other. May God preserve this and not allow us to be defiled by selfishness and lust!

[@CM-ey7nq]

Whale meat is still extremely controvesial in Norway. As a Norwegian I havent consumed it since the 1970's myself :)

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

I grew up, in the 1960's, eating whale meat every now and then.... It was less costly than beef, and could be cooked pretty much in the same way. 👩‍🦳🇳🇴

[@bjrnarestlen1234]

One fact he got wrong was about the amber export in the Bronze Age. That was the Danes. You don't find flint or amber in Norway, that was imported (as was bronze). During Norwegian Bronze age, we probably only imported or raided (like vikings, only 1500 years prior). Some speculate that the greek/phonecians perhaps ventured as far north as Norway/Sweden, then, perhaps they would buy hides/antlers from us. During the Roman Iron Age, we exported warriors and wool to the Roman Empire, serving as Auxilliari, bringing roman weaponry/equipment back to Norway.

[@Rallarberg]

I guess that was a point on how the viking age as a whole got its start, not "Norwegians" in particular :)

[@Rallarberg]

For the Norse, Frøya had first pick on her half of fallen soldiers for Folkvang, whilest Odin got the other half for Valhall. This was a very informative video, and I can't say I heard anything (too) wrong :) Another Disney's Frozen fun fact: Disney visited the open air museum I used to work at, and copied one of the buildings there for their Frozen part of Disneyworld Florida. When it comes to whaling, we now only hunt for minke whale, who are of a "least concern" concervation status. There is some controvercy to it here as well, but it typically stops at "I won't eat it". With modern hunting methods, and in my humble opinion, it's much more humane than e.g. wild game hunting - a whale shot by a modern harpoon (with a small explosive charge on the projectile) dies within milliseconds, whilest, say, a deer _can_ live for hours after being shot with a rifle.

if u want a good vid on haakon VII i'll recommend biographics: King Haakon VII: All for Norway

[@bongfuhrer]

Olav V was a peoples king. He walked amongst the people, not above them like many other leaders.

[@monicabredenbekkskaar1612]

Vikings weren't just raiders. Many settled in the countries they fought in. Dublin was founded by Vikings. They had equality between the sexes. Kings and Queens. They had a rich and just legal system. They were the first to create a drainage system. They had rich traditions of cleanliness and they made most that could be stored for a long time. Even today, we have traditions that originate from them, such as flatbread, salted herring, salted and dried meat but also much more. Norwegians live in difficult climatic conditions and are still good at innovating for clothing in bad weather. Even in english language they left their mark...husbond is a norse word and is in norwegian old fashion way. Window...vindu...and so on. Its a lot these few pale people left behind 😊❤

[@vanjanyrudhalvorsen6913]

Sondre Norheim was the first skier in the world. He invented skiing. 🇳🇴

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Sondre N. var definitivt bedre på ski enn Leiv Juster... Men. Birkebeinerne ringte. De vil ha tilbake oppskriften på Viking Swix...

[@rednaskela4830]

Vikings also have some history in France and especially the region Normandy as it's translates into "Northman" after the viking Rollo was gifted the land by the French king.

[@Rallarberg]

William the Conqueror was also Rollo's 3(?)x great grandson.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

Vikings came also from Swedenand Denmark. You have viking history/places as well. I think, on is on Gotland (sorry, if I'm mistaken).

[@rogerlunde8668]

The best about Norway is the egality in our society, but now we have got politisians who don't care to much about this, even the Labor-party, but pepole react to this and we will see.

[@monicavonr9029]

about humour and vikings, you should watch "the norsemen" fun fun fun 🙂

[@neinei5558]

When norwegian converted to christianity they refuse to call "christmas" for kristus messe (christmas). That was too much, they allready got the mid winter fiest call Yul, Jul, Geol, Jol, Geola. And it is still today call Jul in Norwegian. The weekdays are still related to old norse Gods. Mandag (moon day), Tirsdag (Tyrs day), Onsdag (Odins day), Torsdag (Thors day), Fredag (Frøyas dag), Lørdag (Bathing day), Søndag (Sun day).

[@Reppen555]

The most famous viking is Leif Eirikson beacause he discovered America. It was not Christoffer Columbus, he was looking for America but he found Afrika instead.

[@thenorseman2804]

think you are one of us, Norwegians. You are a redhead from one place we enjoyed ourselves. You are welcome to Norway my friend!

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

This comment made no sense. There are red heads all over Europe, but especially in Britain aka the Celts. Historically Norwegians have always been dark, proven by historical records and accounts as well as DNA. Blonde hair nor blue eyes didn’t originate in Europe and the average European is dark as well. Think Mediterranean. Blonde hair originated in Siberia Asia and was brought to Scandinavia by the Proto Finns: Modern Finns, Estonians, and indigenous Sámi people who migrated west to Finland during the Last Ice Age. Blue eyes originated in the Middle East, the cradle of all white people! Yet you may be right as 40% of all Brits has Scandinavian ancestry mostly Danish and Norwegian due to the Vikings. Even here in Norway most people were Celtic due to the extreme influx of human slaves. Later the Celtic blood was washed out as the Vikings went east and took slaves from Eastern Europe, mostly Russia, and Ukraine…

[@emilivar4558]

Whale is super good. You prepear it much like a steak. Consuption has gone down due to multiple reasons, for one, its now a "luxery ware" and costs a good bit, along with stricter whaling laws making so there is less whale on the market, again, increasing its price, and then how the ethics is questioned behind it, as whaling at eating whale is illigal in a lot of the world, which is a belif you can find in a lot of Norwegians now, tho far from all. Its definetly worth eating tho, as it is really good.

[@pumagutten]

This video was not from this year, so there are some things mentioned that is not correct. Erna Solberg is not the Prime Minister. Jonas Gahr Støre has been the Prime Minister since 2021. Tha latest Nobel Price won by a Norwegian was the literature price in December 2023 won by Jon Fosse.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

but the history behind the Nobel peace price is actually a funny one, the rest of the Nobel prices, f.exemple economy, medicine, physics,...are given in Sweden.

[@kristiansundsfjord4095]

You. Can check out the history of Harald Hardråde from History dose. Pretty interesting 2 parter about the last viking king

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

Imigrated from Germany, it was the Norwegians atmosphere. I think, you must live in it😃

[@LadyIsFaceless]

As a Norwegian, we actually never learned About the Vikings, we learned more about other countries.

[@VampyrMygg]

On the fact that Marilyn Monroe was of Norwegian heritage... it seems the guy who is said to be her father was from around my area of Norway, so she showed up on my family tree when my parents were researching and figuring out the family tree, and there's even a statue of Marilyn Monroe in my town. (which is Haugesund) And Sigurd Hansen (Sig) is from Karmøy just outside my town, so he used to live here, and my old boss once got knocked out by him on the street, in a case of mistaken identity :P (He felt bad about it though, and actually showed up at my old boss' door to apologize.) Also, a friend of mine went to a meetup for extended family, like a meet and greet for the living members of the family tree so to speak, and ran into Sig Hansen... my friend hadn't really thought much about it until then, but his last name is also Hansen and he lives on Karmøy. :P

[@monicabredenbekkskaar1612]

BBC has a good documentry on the real viking history.

[@user-cc5oe3xe3m]

Erna is not the prime minister anymore. It's Jonas Gahr Støre.

[@biankakoettlitz6979]

show this video in 2025, and he could be right again😄 Now our PM called Jonas Gahr Støre

[@kahinaloren]

In terms of inventions, the Scots absolutely dominates...

Im norwegian and i can berly stand on ski's😂

[@Jan.Martin.Brenden]

I eat clean. so whale is unclean. but many Norwegian eat it. but not often

[@swedishpsychopath8795]

OMG: You look like a crazy version of Magnus Midtbø, did you know it?

[@Arcticstar69]

Erna Solberg was PM by habit.

[@ErnaBerntsen]

👀

[@triecc2265]

Whailing isnt controversial in Norway bc we have a thing called "sustainabilety", meaning that what we hunt have to be able to withstand hunting, so we never hunt more than its population can handle, everyone who says that hunting whales is wrong doesnt know what they are talking about to be frank, the whales are not going exctingt bc we hunt a few a year. hundreds of years ago they wher absolutely over hunted and many whent exctingt, but that was a long time ago and most people doesnt seem to understand that its different today.

[@andersgulowsen2814]

Why the interest in Norway? My dad was a sailor.. and you look more like him than I do. Explain that ?

[@albions]

Is this vid realy old? Because it lives 5,5 mill in Norway.... Mentions a viking longship and shows a gallion... The guy who made this vid has no clue about Norway.

[@naskeri]

Not talked much, I'm }roud
