Something I heard was that Norse inheritance laws divided property equally among sons/offspring. (Not the firstborn gets everything and the rest have a problem.). Even if you start with a HUGE estate and only 3 children per generation, in 3 generations, the farm is now too small to feed your family on. So, lack of land to own was a driving issue, at least initially.

Agreed, despite all their surety in themselves, their "education", and their interpretation of all these archeological finds, at the end of the day it's nothing but hypothesis' and theories, which are proven wrong all the time. The problem is they can't stand being wrong so they come up with outlandish theories to connect to their hypothetical situations instead of reinterpreting and adjusting their train of thought upon new evidence, it's a shame really. I'm fact nowadays it seems as if all science goes whichever way the highest bidder wants it to, you don't study, and come up with the answers the controllers want, you don't get funding, nor recognition. Take climate change, yes it's happening, but not from us, and nothing we do will stop it, it happens in cycles, it's literally peer reviewed science, and there are a plethora of climatologists who know it and will say it, they don't get funding or airtime, so if climate change isn't anthropogenic then why are they trying to take all of our rights and freedoms in the name of climate change?

Legend or history: judge for yourself. During the Norse wars, the ''berjast við úlfa''the order or warrior faternity an elite in the service of the highest bidder an order of warriors were a warrior elite, similar to the berserkir, but more refined and religious, followers of the old Norse gods and a new creed imported the Móðir- Jörð, these Vikings could be the image we have of the Vikings helmet with horns, as some used them as a symbol of the male-goat, an allusion to his manhood. When times of peace came, the rulers wanted to dissolve them, as they were Christian kings, they hated Christianity, they plundered and killed them, as they had no resources, they dedicated themselves to banditry, and the Scandinavian kings hunted them down and cornered them, Seeing their extinction, they fled to Iceland with 26 ships. In Iceland they were not allowed to disembark, so they went west in search of a new land and discovered a land they called TULAND, today East Greenland. As newcomers they were forced by the dotrine of Móðir-Jörð to be polite to the natives and learned from the INUIT natives, and became experts in -hundasleða-les gustava. But they kept bothering the Scandinavians, plundering their ships and coasts for firewood, food, silver and women, and the Scandinavian kings were fed up with them and searched hard for them and finally found them in Tuland (East-Greenland), killing them.After 70 years of living on those coasts they died out, they gave orders to ban the sagas ''tales'' about the warriors of Tuland under penalty of death.

But everything else about the OC comment sounds like BS. First, the horn hat is a well known myth coming from a choice of costume design from Wagner's Valkyrie opera play. Second, Vikings weren't friendly to the inuits, they simply lost against them, which is why they only remained at a particular area of Greenland. (Of course, they did intermarry later and I assume a level of culture exchange followed.) If there is this amount of misinformation in a single comment, it's impossible do take everything else seriously.

Heck, the British killed, murdered, raped and enslaved their own people ffs 😂 And Constantinople was the biggest slave trading hub. And the people in the Baltic raided Scandinavia. The Vikings didn't do anything "bad" that everyone else didn't already do. And the Vikings weren't one people either. Vikings were diverse people that did tons of different stuff. They raided, but also traded lots of good stuff, connected all of Europe through trade, married into royal families all over Europe and created great change. By today's standards they weren't nice people, because no people back then were nice people by our standards.

What makes this slaughter and invasion any different than that of the Nazis? Many people focus on the "good things" that Hitler achieved too. Bear in mind it was financed mainly on the fact that so many were murdered and their wealth seized. The sharing of trade routes and culture doesn't need to be achieved that way. People also admire Mayan culture, where beating hearts were cut out of living victims. The list goes on....

the past is cruel, not just Mayan or Vikings but all over the world, how do you think Empires were created ? do you think the ancient Egyptians didn't kill and conquered ?, the Persians, Phoenicians,Romans and all the rest they were all violent, they all took slaves

they reused too many segments too often. this isn't really worth over 3 hours of watch time. 1/ cut oout the dupes 2/ keep related info together instead of spreading it all out hoping that when you get to the repeat segments, viewers will have forgotten they saw them. IOW not very respectful of viewers' time or intelligence.

Informative yes, but I also found it quite repetitive. I think they are trying to be episodic in the presentation, but there is some notable fluff.

Why would a population living in a place throw 2 children down a well on purpose. Wouldn't it ruin the well water? Wouldn't they know that much even then? It is something that just doesn't add up to me and seems like something an enemy would do to your settlement.

Odins brother is not Thor. Thor is his son. Odin's brothers are Villi and Ve. And Fenrir is a wolf. And to be fair, Loki isn't much of a god. More of a nuance no one worshipped him. He was there to represent chaos and no one wanted chaos in their life.
@danvernier198 Жыл бұрын
Neo-paganism isn't any more a source for the beliefs of medieval Scandinavians than Marvel movies are. Trickery was most definitively held in high regard in the sagas so the idea that there were people with a positive view of Loki and that that particular object might represent his son isn't far fetched at all. Most objects of worship depict only two Gods, Freyr and Thor, this doesn't mean that the rest were not sacrificed to under the right circumstances. A good example of the disparity between our textual evidence written down centuries later by Christians and the art objects used in worship is how in Hrafnkell's saga he's derided as a worshipper of Freyr but the archeological evidence from Scandinavia shows more art of Freyr than of Odin. Likely a result of rivalries between east and west Norse where those who wrote the texts associated their ancestors with Odin and the others ancestors with Freyr. Claiming that Loki was a representation of chaos is categorically false. How much he was "worshipped" is unclear, what we can tell is that he was a trickster just like Odin and that trickery is seen as a virtue in the sagas. What we can see is that most objects of worship are directed and Freyr or Thor.

@@danvernier198 Also doesn't help that the Norse seemingly never wrote their own myths down and all the written sources we have come post-Christianization and therefore it's hotly debated what parts are actually pre-Christian and what parts are retcon.
