Absolutely fascinating . Many people must have survived in order to bury these Viking warriors with high honors , which was no small undertaking

[@amys2650]

Please upload more archaeology videos they are the best

[@buffalochic1974]

That was really fascinating. Thank you to Estonia and others for sharing

[@rosemiranda7300]

Thanks for an excellent documentary!

[@conniebrannan3168]

Interesting educational well presented

[@BinkyTheElf1]

Warlike Scandinavians emerged after the chaos caused by the massive changes from the volcanic super-eruption of circa AD 536. Crops failed, people starved, the survivors grouped up under warlords. There are videos online about this, and the pre-Viking era.

[@elisabet-ms6ck]

Thanks. It would be amazing with a follow up on later results, and the situation atm. Has there been any search for more ships in the area?

[@chris.asi_romeo]

Love watching this Vikings history series of documentaries. 👏👏👏

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

Here is my amateurish take on this.... There where several ships and many men. They fought and these men died but the overall battle was won by the Vikings. The men that died probably belonged to a couple of ships but ships the ships works best fully manned so now they got a left over ship which they could not go back with and you did not want a enemy to have it so you need to bury it or destroy it by fire. The dead warriors in the big ship and the slaves/trälar in the smaller ship. The swords and weapons is bent so everyone knows not to disturb the grave looking for usable weapons. As I guess these weapons where highly sought after and would have been dug up if they were left in usable condition... Well this is my guess how that tradition got started,...

[@meaghanwillmott3163]

Please do a follow up!! It would be great to know through DNA if any of the burials were related to each other...fantastic documentary 👍

[@soositta4221]

Wikipedia: "The DNA analysis showed that four of the men were brothers and they were related to a fifth man, perhaps an uncle"

[@ronjabagling7941]

And the isotope measurement taken from the teeth indicated that they came from the Mälar valley in Sweden.

Awesome work.. thanks!!!

[@billyedwards6101]

That was amazing!! Incredible...to say the least, they were warriors for sure,and barbaric...

[@rogergriffin9794]

Exactly as depicted in the TV show, Vikings. Before they raided Lindisfarne, they went to Estonia. They didn't want to bring the dead back home so they buried them on the battlefield.

[@shanebattles6132]

Amazing show thank you

[@pfdrtom]

The Norse went to England, France, Iceland, Russia, the Middle East and North America...and it's astounding they went to Estonia?

[@mn4169]

så interesting, especially the early och pre viking age

[@johnshields6852]

It's human nature to learn of our past, a thousand years from now they'll be looking over some of our buried past.

[@dawnevans128]

They will find, cell phones, fake eyelashes, false nails and breast implants. Lo,

[@thomasbell7033]

I recall reading that Bronze Age Britains also bent swords this way before sacrificing them, usually in bodies of water. I wonder if that was to prevent them from being recovered.

[@garychynne1377]

[@rogergriffin9794]

Killed during raids in Estonia and buried on site by the victorious Vikings.

[@parv888]

This is a most complete slaughter of ''vikings'' ever recorded. I guess one of the idiots is even their king. Such a burial has not been found anywhere in the world. Þetta er fullkomnasta slátrun víkinga sem skráð hefur verið. Ég býst við að einn af hálfvitunum sé meira að segja konungur þeirra. Slík greftrun hefur hvergi fundist í heiminum.

[@crikarlshamn]

Thank you for sharing. Most fascinating. The DNA results are now available, look forward to hear what they reveiled.

[@Matthew_Pizzo]

I also took 23andme and share 4.32 centiMorgans with VK 554 and that he had a valuable ring sword. He was on the 2nd Salme ship, buried in the middle of the first row. Would be great to learn more.

[@anneh2375]

I just found that in my 23 and me results too. It’s amazing and so much fun to be able to look up Thea things about an ancient relative.

[@Matthew_Pizzo]

@@anneh2375 We share the same ancestor cool. 😎 Yea it's wild how far back in time our genetics can go. To learn about their lives, its like something from a story book.

[@anneh2375]

@@Matthew_Pizzo I know, I had no idea that our DNA results would lead to so many interesting finds.

[@Faerygrl888]

Me too! Hey cousins! Lol I'm also related to 4 other Viking Era individuals from that study as well, according to 23andMe, do any of you have more than 1, as well?

[@Matthew_Pizzo]

@@Faerygrl888 I have six others from other time periods in other countries some of them females, but just the 1 from this period. 7 total.

[@davidhjortnaes2000]

This is SO1 EP2. What is SO1 EP1 and how do I find it?

[@iamme6773]

I wonder if it was possible for the smaller ship to have been naturally buried by the sand. Like, maybe the people in that ship were the ones who buried the people in the other, and then took some kind of poison or something. It just seems kind of strange, the way they are positioned. Like they just slumped over where they were sitting. Even lower class people would have been laid out.

[@Loooppp]

Its like the king take a bad decision and some people dont follow him, or refuse to fight.

I married a 3rd generation Norwegian Viking. His family was there for over 1,000 years.

[@hakimhakimi-jj3rb]

pourquoi les images supposées des vikings nous sont presentes tj avec des cris guerriers. est ce quu on a utilise une technique archeologique detectant les sons et bruits.

[@dorisrawlings6801]

My Estonia Ancestors of Salme were related from the ship burial. My Suebi ancestors germanic tribe from 100BC along with the Lombardy descendants according to my DNA results provided. Motherland migration is prevalent with my Mail Empire results. One Love my Ancestors.

[@FeralgenXwoman]

I watched this a few weeks ago and just got my DNA results back, apparently 5 of my distant relatives are in the Salme ships, they are identified as VK485 VK496 VK551 VK553 and VK555. Wow!

[@handsoapopera]

Hi cousin! 😂 I'm related to 507 & 553. This is so freaking cool.

[@Matthew_Pizzo]

This is cool. I'm distantly related to VK554 lol

Hej cuz, me too!. Pretty interesting, huh? Thank you to everyone who worked so hard and with so much care to to tell their story :)

[@anneh2375]

Very cool isn’t it 😊

[@ChefJenniferParker]

5, wow. I’m related to 3. Has anyone figured out how to know how they were related to each other? I’m 506, 507 from the first ship and 498 from the 2nd. It’s all so amazing and fascinating.

[@enterthecarp7085]

Bending of the swords? Maybe a retirement? You’ve done your job

[@lenej-kj6zy]

My guess is that the first small ship was probably people out hunting and fishing. The skeletons look thrown around as if they fell where they died. Possibly it was caught in some bad weather and stranded? It's burial was by what was a shoreline. It was probably buried naturally over the years. The second one was obviously an organized burial.

[@lenej-kj6zy]

The picture of the skulls from the first ship seems odd. It seems elongated. I know elongated skulls have been found near the Baltic.

[@yksikaksikolmen]

I bet they where from Sweden

[@valverdeout2972]

Yes they were. They were from "Mälardalen" from the Stockholm region, and some men were from the Swedish Island Gotland.

[@michaelsadlier503]

I wonder if the man. With the king piece was a king in waiting and the warrior was his bodyguard? It's all maybe he was a royal family man and DNA may give Estonia answers.when they get around to. Doing it.

[@jeno264]

I wonder if they were buried this way by their own people, or by those they fought?

[@burntearth85]

Warriors don't bury their enemies

[@joytrujillo9447]

Tribe of Dan???

[@messigoat7365]

No they were from Sweden.

[@nightrunnin]

16:51 that looks like a shipwreck not a ritual burial…

[@nightrunnin]

@@Helgrimr as a layperson who has watched a lot of archaeological documents my basic understanding of burial is that the person is usually buried laying down either on the back,side or curled in a fetal position on the side, not curled over one’s self in a sitting position at their ‘duty post’ , (the outliers being the ritual sacrifices in the mountains of South America), or strewn about higlty pigalty . So my hypothesis is the first boat could be a ship reck .

Hey I took my 23andMe DNA test and am related to VK487 and VK484. I had 4.60 centiMorgans when compared to VK487 and 4.26 when compared to VK484. I’ve read that there were potentially 4 full brothers on this ship and I’m wondering if I may be related to them. I’ve been reading a lot online but would love more information if anyone has anything they can share. I’ve traced my family all the way back to 1415 so far but that’s where my journey has ended.

[@anneh2375]

I just found that I have 3 Long lost relatives there too, The article implies they all came from the same area of Sweeden, and it’s so long ago, I wonder if they were probably all related
