​@@OriginalPuro True, but we don't understand you guys either. You sound like the distant cousin of the Swedish chef 😄

[@darth_yoda]

Ydest intersant man skal forbi i og see det er sikker og vist!

[@alisn.7998]

Enjoyed listening to the language, as well as reading the subtitles. What was interesting was how many words were virtually the same as modern English, showing yet again the influence Scandinavians had on language in ancient Britain, up to today. I’m about to watch it for the second time, without reading the subtitles, which took time from the actual watching. The hand skills used are probably the same, using tools the same as the originals, unchanged over time. A truly magnificent building - though I do wonder how long the original and its rebuilds, took to build in the distant past.

[@Solitary_Scribe55]

Bare in mind that Old English is/was directly related to the Scandi languages, all coming from Proto-Germanic. Strictly speaking, our Anglo-Saxon ancestors WERE Scandinavians, displaced by rampant in-fighting and conquest of small tribes.

[@martialme84]

So cool that they included inspirations from Germany, Sweden and Norway in the build.

[@pliashmuldba]

Well back in that day, it was all the same, so IMO it would have been stupid to not do that.

[@toomanymonkeys21]

Love to see more footage of the completed hall, mind you- so beautiful

[@recordsam]

Wonderful, and absolutely full of the wonders of human ingenuity, creativity, craft, art, planning and completing. Hearty congratulations from the USA. A national treasure, worth every penny.

[@HieronymusHertogenBosch]

Prachtige video, vakkundig werk met mooi resultaat. Combineren van oude ambachten met moderne techniek. Bewondering voor de Noormannen en respect voor de Deense bevolking én Søren Aabye Kierkegaard!

En enestående oplevelse at følge arbejdet med hallen og til sidst beundre det færdige resultat. Den er på alle måder fantastisk!

[@LocoEvents]

Hvorfor har jeg aldrig hørt om dette ? Dette kunne være fedt at vide mere om og besøge. Reklamer dog for det.

[@kubel83]

De har først haft noget at vise nu her. Masse planlægning osv. men nu ved du dog om det. Og jeg er enig det ser sgu interessant ud😊

[@NotLeftarded1]

This is really a gorgeous building with amazing construction. I love it. Interesting to hear a different European language other than the English and French we get here in Canada. Great presentation, thank you.

[@TheDennys21]

Imagine how hard it was to build one of those way back in the day without the machines we have today.

[@fierceperedur]

I just love this! ❤❤❤

[@halporter9]

Are all these films produced by a living history site located in an ancient Norse capital, with examples stretching back far earlier? I subscribed. Apropos of nothing much, that is truly spectacular timber! And I love the comment of the carpenter about skills required when much of the timber was curved, “that it was not the work of an afternoon, “ I believe.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Years ago I visited the Church in Urnes! And also the Original, recreated church in Øye, partly found below the new Church on the other side of the Fiord!

It is wonderful to hear this in your native language but wish there were english subtitles?

[@thomaswayneward]

To the uninitiated, this type of work looks difficult, but it is not as hard as it looks . The main difference is it is big and heavy. Tools to do this type of work are available in Germany and work very well. Of course it takes a lot of money to pay for the hours involved in building something like this. Remember that all this design is copied from the work of past generations, which is why it is so beautiful. Compare this building to the ugly modern monstrosities being built today.

[@fridrekr7510]

How many oak planks and beams have you chopped? It’s definitely hard and difficult work, much more so than with the soft pine commonly used in Germany.

[@piergaay]

A word about those "bloody sacrifices"; weather it were the romans or christians, always it were the enemies of those who where accused of crimes like human sacrifices . . . a bit like today . . . be aware! Nice building, I would like to visit it!

[@halporter9]

Was the wood dried before construction? Otherwise shrinkage?

But based on the remains of the hall that where found.... how do you know how it was framed?

“Sagnlandet” … det er den slags du får PR-afdelingen tygger blå fluesvamp mens de brainstormer - eller bare når de sov sig igennem historie i folkeskolen, de ku’ ligeså godt have kaldt det “Narnia” eller “Nangijala” … 🧐

I Norge, Lofoten gravde nordiske arkeologer i 1980-årene ut et 83 meter langt hus (700 kvadratmeter), det største huset vi kjenner fra vikingtiden i skandinavia.

[@lytken]

hvor lang tid har det taget at lave den helt fra start til den var helt færdig og hvad blev den samlede pris på dette pragtstykke

[@SagnlandetLejre]

Kongehallen var under konstruktion i ca 5 år, pris ca 80 millioner kr.

They are cutting down all those old growth trees.😂

[@thomaswayneward]

The total acreage of forests on the planet is the largest amount in recorded history. God made trees to be used by mankind to build homes and thousands of other things. The trees grow back. Those trees being cut down are not old growth anyway, a tree can grow that big in fifty years or less. I have seen an oak tree that big that was 36 years old and have seen others that were almost 300 years old; it depends on the soil and climate.

[@alisn.7998]

@@thomaswayneward That’s a pretty daft thought. Trees weren’t put there for us to cut down. Especially at the cost of other species on the planet.

[@thomaswayneward]

You said "put there". LOL, who put them there? The Holy Bible tells us that everything on earth is for man to use and was put here for man. Glad you know someone "put them there".

[@magius5593]

@@alisn.7998Actually those oak trees were planted 200 years ago to build navy ships.

[@halporter9]

@@jespernystadDon’t know about most people or rest of world. I always thought of Vikings as from all over Scandinavia, perhaps more were population pressures were highest. I think, to the extent discussed in US, even history texts for ten-year- olds (well, of 30 years ago, I’m 76 and son is in his 40s) will assume/state all Scandinavia. Beowulf would throw me when we read supposedly the first great English epic (In dont agree. Read some of it later in a graduate linguistics class. It’s a different language in a way that, say Old Castilian is not modern Spanish (almost no intelligibility. Modern Danish seems about as intelligible, maybe more so. Hmm. Were there any vowel shifts in Danish as there were in English in the thirteenth (great) and in the 16th century ( lesser vowel shift). That might explain some of it, and many Norse words and a bit of the grammar were incorporated. Anyway, geography of Beowulf very confusing to a 16 year old. Was it Geatland, or land 12:41 of the Gaets. Much later it might mean modern Gotland (southern Sweden?) though the Geats may have moved around a bit, as have kingly boarders. Thank you for the thought
