1000 AD: A Tour of the Viking World // Vikings Documentary

Could you find any info about Norse and the land of nowadays north Portugal (Porto) and northern Spain (Galicia)? Anyone???

Quality content THANK YOU Pete!

Manx was revived pretty much as soon as it 'went extinct' -- a few people speak Manx again, road signs are written in Manx, etc

What is the earliest reference to the last name Perrin in your Studies?

I never understood polytheism. I mean, if we as humans fight, so would the gods and they would be killed, so how did humans know which gods still existed?

This content is a wellspring of inspiration. I read a book with corresponding content that was a catalyst for change. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood

The narratives of Vikings was wrong, the Jylland people the Juts were there in UK islands before the Romans. The Vikings who are Jutlandisk are just liberating their sister country of Jysks Juts that settled in these islands way before Anglos and Sax. Viking is a verb word not a people, the people are Jutland/Jylland Juts or Jysk... Jylland is in Denmark also Norway and Danes along with Swedes Gots are just doing Viking they are related culture all were just Viking meaning adventuring. Change the history books to reality, not some Roman narratives.

What a fake Western history... They travel around the world with some wooden boats :)) And always names of kings with some nicknames.. no last names. White race, Ras, Rasija,Рашка, Arians are Slavic. Slavic tribes are Arians and White race.

Sigurd the Stout- the first king of the old school.

Ja!!! ❤😂😊

All historians ever cover are wars and kings. If people spent all their time fighting and destroying, who created the world we know. Honestly, im sick of the litany of war lords amd conquests. Tell us how people lived and struggled against those ass hole kings

Take it easy on the soundtrack. Best to just cut it out, but at least not so loud. Why make it unwatchable after so much work.

Except viking is a verb, these people were called Norse

How can you not even mention Ragnar Lodhbrok

Nice to see my hometown Roskilde , in a viking documentary

Det var en god video - vi siger [seegh-er] (say) mange (many) tak fra over her(e) i(n) Skandinavien 🙂

I tried like hell to sign up for audible, but due to Amazon's complete lack of customer service, I simply couldn't get through. Kiss that one goodbye.

Fantastic coverage of a huge topic!

867 or die

Thanks for teaching me about how I was made! Lol! Loved seeing Grandpa Aethelred, he's been a family favorite since we finished our genealogy (if you're of british descent, you'll eventually find royals, from there, all the work has been done - a whole bunch of you are related to aethelred too). Fun fact: Unready meant poorly advised, it was a joke name, as he famously has crackerjack advisors.

Reyt good

I have seen documentaries that say Greenland was, in fact, green when it was settled. It later became an icy wasteland, but it wasn't at first. Who is correct?

Harald Bluetooth 🤣 pahaha

Bjarni gamli dó <3

The name Scraligs? is a derrogitory term. The Vikings saw them as inferior and ugly and died because they did not eat the fatty food or seal fat. Yes the BarBarians met the real Barbarians and called them ugly people. The innuwait Indians, eskamoes? that is, not the the main land indians.

I thought Leif was related to Erik the red

Poor fellas name was cunt

The people that you mentioned huddling under rocks as Christian priests were Catholic priests!
Catholic priests would torture people to make them convert! They would burn them at the stake, they would cut off their hands their feet their ears their nose cut out their tongues! These people were not Christian they were and are a sadist political organization masquerading themselves as a church! And they still are to this very day! The Inquisition is still very much alive to this very day, although it goes under another name!
Even now the Catholic Church is the evil incarnate of Satan himself! For a thousand years they have welcomed into their ranks pedophile priests and nuns and have been abusing little boys and girls now for centuries!
And the Catholic church is still hiding them sending them to other jurisdictions!
Not only protecting themselves but the pedophiles whom they are shielding!
So don't call Catholic priests Christians!
They polluted and destroyed the real Church which Jesus founded and is still building!
They even changed baptism from immersion to sprinkling and not only that to baptizing babies, who are innocent and without sin! Jesus picking up a child and placing him in his lap said unless you become as one of these children you will not see the Kingdom of Heaven!
And they've turned Mary into some kind of perfect virgin saint!
Mary had numerous children after Jesus was born she was not a virgin afterwards! I mean the Catholic Church advocates praying to Mary to intercede with Jesus!! After Jesus was born Mary became a very ordinary wife and mother! And yes after Jesus sent the Holy Ghost to fall on the apostles and his disciples Mary was in the room and so she received the gift of the Holy Ghost and became a Christian when she was baptized! But she is no more holier than anyone else she's an ordinary human being and praying to her is useless and pointless!
Utterly ridiculous!
The only holy person that Christians are to pray to is God, in the name of Jesus Christ! Not only that once a person obeys the gospel their added to the church and when they arise from the water they're born again into the newness of life! They become saints priests and kings in the kingdom of God! Therefore there may not be any priest or any other human to intercede for a Christian! Since scriptural Christians are priests who can pray directly to God in Jesus's name!
This is one thing all these documentaries and all these others claim that the Catholics and their pedophile priests are trying to convert people! You don't convert people by torture you convert them by reasoning by quoting scripture and by teaching them the truth!

The Vulgar Bulgars? 🤔Hmmm

Norse does NOT mean Norwegian!!! Why does everything have to be dumbed down to this Michael Hirst level.

It is more comparable to modern terms like Scandinavian, Nordic or North Germanic.

I'd like you to go deeper. For instance; What is the background of the viking age? What happened in the Nordic countries that made Vikings possible? Also the part about the Rus-vikings and what happened in the east is to shallow.

Toast to the norse! Toast to the baltic!

Getting in touch with my inner Viking!

Fantastic documentary a great deal of work has gone into this. One of the most in-depth I have had the pleasure to listen to. I wish you well with your future endeavours as I'm now hooked.

Love all the Schools they instituted.
Yeah right. 🎩

Christianity was not organic then

me: watches Vinland Saga once

very good info

This is so sick. The Swedish government, woman and lobby-groups wants to have all with Viking-ancestory annihaleted. There is an agenda in Sweden to eradicate Swedes and dont let them pass their genes. Its a full out war in Sweden to annihalete all Viking heritage and Viking genes by a Anti-Swede Communist agenda to destroy Sweden totally. There shall not exist any Viki g-ancestors and they shall have no children but replaced with people whom hates us. They hates us and want to annihalate us like the Jews.

I loved it.

My great great Grandfather Victor was married too Ellen McDonnell off clan McDonnell in Scotland.
Victor was a Viking.

Anne McCarthy MBACP 🙏 ♥

I'm confused, was Iceland the original homeland of the Vikings? Scandinavians countries were correct? Countries such as, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark? When Leif Erickson discovered North America was Iceland already an established Nordic colony?
