I’m not sure how but whenever I fall asleep watching RUclips I keep waking up to see the end of this video. I think I’ve rewatched it like 5 times already
RUclips wants you to become a viking thats why! 😎 SKOL! ALL TOGETHER NOW! MY MOTHER TOLD ME, SOMEDAY I WILL BUY!
I fell asleep listening to jazz but somehow woke up knowing more about Vikings! Thanks RUclips Algorithm!
Loser
Oh my Lord,,, me too!!!
Just happened today.
same here
Same just not jazz
Man this made for the PERFECT educating nap. THANK YOU!!! I feel smarter and rested 🥰 so interesting and relaxing.
I two sleep well with history jolted awake by RUclips commercials that are much louder than the very interesting presentation.

1:58 am. My third time watching this series since it came out and every time, I have to watch all 4 together because you’ve put it together seamlessly. Even down to the steady escalation in strength of your drinks.
You son, are an excellent teacher and I’ve sent this to some of my friends.
Funny thing though. I don’t think that most of them finished the first episode. I never got any feedback. Whereas, typically, there’s loads of it along with some interesting opinions.
That’s how you know that you’ve laid down solid foundations for real educational information. When you get radio silence from science deniers the quiet is as loud as a hurricane.
Once again.
GREAT JOB SON!
Keep that train a’rollin’!!! 👍
Love listening to these at work and since I'm concentrating on work half the time I get to listen to these over and over and keep getting something new 😅👍
Fascinating. One of the best documentary series on the Norsemen/Vikings around. Thank you.
😊
Grateful for the excellent presentation! This series on Vikings is a treasure trove of knowledge, and I appreciate it being freely available on RUclips. Looking forward to watching more!
As a Norwegian from Hafrsfjord ( important place in Norwegian Norse history) it’s insane to hear “dubbed” Norwegians and its so wonderful to see that our cultural heritage and history is interesting for others in other countries 😍
You have just scratched the surface
I was born and raised in California, but my family is from Gothenburg, Sweden. I am so interested in my heritage; a heritage that has been pushed out of popular culture here since many Scandinavians immigrated here in the early 1900's. The more I know about the early vikings the more I can push out my chest in pride of the blood that runs in my veins!
@@Supreme-SEF its a joke
@@Supreme-SEF Anyone who takes that shit serious is degrading their own intelligence. So ridiculous. That's like having a show about Zulu warriors and having a Ginger in there.
@@Supreme-SEF still enjoyed the show a lot, but yeah that’s ridiculous.
This series is quite interesting, I refreshed my knowledge and added to It . I understand the importance of Estonia’s big island, but kept waiting for mention of Latvian Vikings, specifically those that resided in the part of Latvia called Courland (Kurzeme), but it never came. Also the bay of Riga has the Daugava providing a way quite far into Russia, and it also was not mentioned. In various museums in Europe, a certain quantity of Viking artifacts come from Latvia. I hope that in a future version of your very informative series some of these omissions will betaken care of.
I’ve been to the Oslo museum. It’s truly breathtaking
It's amazing how much territory the Vikings covered in a relatively short time!
Those guys got around!!
they were really bored and the wives kept naggin
their ships displayed a technology that was ahead of its time....
Yes Wow I Was Amazed at How They Travel To Different Country Rich in Culture

What do you mean by this? Is this channel just some dude? It looks like a fancy documentary from PBS or something
Excellent presentation!! Thank you for posting this on RUclips!!!
As we
Fabulous amazing film...don't miss this...the details are even very excited.
Thank you I really enjoyed watching &I'll be watching 👀 more!!!
My maternal great grand parents were rom Sweden & they told me what the "Viking Seeing Stone" is. We have them all over the place although they were much more widely used in the 1800s. Yes! One can see the whole hemisphere with it; when used properly!!!
Kkooo

All right so please go and get one and then you can tell me what I'm doing now and if you say sitting in front of my phone l will seriously be amazed.
I'm from Tønsberg, I walked by almost every day during the building and was there for the first sailing, very cool stuff to have happening in my town!
G ft Th&
that's awesome.
What was built?
My people! I am Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and Danish Viking. Rawr!! 🐾
You are nothing until you have arab or african babies. Then you are something.
Yeah. Well what happened to your people? Everyone from that part of the world has become cowards. You allow your government and big businesses to rule you and destroy you. You need to go back to your viking ways.
Hail Sister... Our race is the greatest and other races are Jealous of that fact
@@mwol5473 viking wasn't a race...lol...by that reasoning, I am a lawyer because my great, great grandfather was...
Same. Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish DNA in my blood!
When I was in Oslo, I visited the Ships Museum and stood beside the Gokstad and the Oseberg. Both of them were magical. The carvings were mesmerizing. To think they were from the 9th century. Makes me wonder about the men who sailed them and all of the places they went.
such men and country are to be saluted because of their valiantry, and big heart which shows no fear
@@gomnes246They raped women and murdered defenseless farmers and plundered churches. They often went after soft targets to avoid direct combat with defensive forces that could actually fight back. It wasn't all valiant and courageous.
This trip to Oslo is on my bucketlist for sure. I am fascinated by Viking History!
@@sugewhitejacoby8654 "Half" of our basic words in Scandinavia ( three very similar languages ) are still (very) similar to their English counterparts, and there are many grammatical similarities as well, so learning English is fairly easy for us Scandinavians - as if we by magic already "know" a lot of the basics of English in advance and "just" need to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles - for instance the use of "do" and "-ing" with verbs.
Check out the brilliant video from Langfocus called "Viking Influence on the English Language" to see how much the complicated and highly inflected West Germanic Old English was changed through this long lasting contact with the closely related North Germanic Old Norse in the Danelaw region in the North and the East of England.

Fantastic history
So interesting and it just keeps going and going.
Love your thoughts give me hard. love
Thank you so much for sharing this huge series for free! I've learned more about the Vikings on this channel more than any other source I've seen on RUclips so far!
Not very impressive video. Nothing much revealed about daily lifestyle, culture or traditions. Barbaric, pagan warriors wandering back and forth! 😢😮
at 24:40 "the whole day was runed!" 😆
In your video regarding runes, it seems that Karl Staffan Dahlberg, is my 23rd cousin twice removed, thru Geni. What a delightful discovery! 🙂We are both descendants of Valemar l, King of Sweden.
"Odin and his brother Thor" pretty sure Thor was Odin's son... Overall though, I'm always impressed by viking history. They really were pioneers.
Tonger is the son of Wodan and Fjorgyn
I use the old Frisian names Because I don't know the modern English names
what they were were master shipbulders and bold sailors...that lapstrake design is still used in lifeboats today...their ships were so flexible they almost seemed alive in the open sea...yet easily capable of traversing shallow rivers...a technological leap the world had never seen before...no wonder they were caught by surprise....
@@sjefkerolleman2094 Tor er sønn av Odin og Frøya. Odin var æsir, Frøya var vane, datter av Njord.
There were several discrepancies I picked up on. I think it was more archaeological than anything though
Pioneers? You mean murderers? 🤣
Absolutely captivating! A top-notch documentary series on the Norsemen/Vikings. Thank you for the insightful journey through history. Looking forward to future installments that might cover the fascinating stories of Latvian Vikings and their contributions.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting!
I learned a lot from this series. Very well done.
I am a professional historian, and an old man. I CRINGE when I see the young people of this generation say such BS about there not being enough original material from history to study. In fact, it is LITERALLY like the last scene in Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant was locked away in an avalanche of boxes. 95 percent of all the historical documents have NEVER BEEN READ. If you want to check this out, go to a major archive and ask them. No one knows what is in ANY of the National Archives anymore, let alone the Vatican. It is this way all over the world.
The GREATEST problem by far for future generations is that no one is being taught to read script (handwriting). I can read a handwritten letter upside down at speed. Not teaching THAT is going to make future research very difficult.
No one asked old man
Simplified!
Truth!
When I taught my kids cursive the teacher forbade them to write it. As the other kids wouldn’t be able to read it. 😢
Stupid argument.
So any extra skill is unwanted.
And they can’t decipher the handwriting of the grownup generation. 😢
Cursive taught after print letters was what i wàs taught in 1950's, could be too much. Perhaps , dumming down is what is future generations. How did i write we exams? 😅
There is the best documentary of history of the rise and fall of the Vikings in timeline in recognition.
Looks like their dna is integrated all over and they blended into many countries.
Wonderful. Thank you .
The Vikings actually discovered the new world, 500 years BEFORE Columbus!
And 500 years after they still living of the new world
Seeing authentic-looking Viking (Norse) helmets in the intro... this might well be worth watching. Let's see.
actually scarier-looking then those fake horned ones.....
Top notch!
Well done very informative
enjoyed the video
Subscription added. Nice find this channel. Well done.
“It can pull back the shield, let me show you” /pulls shield. Bonk.
I was interested to see this because in two months it will be the year anniversary of my husband's death. I want to use some of his ashes and throw him a proper Viking funeral. (On a miniature scale. Miniature boat and small amount of ashes, floating down the creek, on fire. I can't shoot a flaming arrow. Or any arrow.) He LOVED Vikings and I love Norway so it works well. ❤️
Sry for ur loss
Sorry for your loss but sounds beautiful all you need is a drummer to drum him out while singing Helvegan. He may not have been a king of chief but Im sure he is more than worthy and will be looking down pleased. Do take care of yourself sister .
cool. just don't sacrifice a maiden to go with him. maybe a tiny snippet of your hair?
Thank you everyone. No one will ever love me again like he loved me. I wasn't there for him when he needed me. But I prepared his body, and ever since he died I have done everything I possibly can to make amends for everything I've done wrong. I have so many regrets but he deserves the best. He was my Viking chief. He always will be. And he was an amazing death metal musician/guitarist/composer, so I absolutely have a drum to use. I've done my due diligence. I just wish everyone could know how special he is.
❤️
Interesting. Vikings are my favorite.
they're's something hauntingly beautiful about their mythology....
Vikings discovered high carbon steel by using bones in the forge. This created superior steel that could destroy enemies weapons and armor. It took another 300-500 years for the world to get high carbon steel. When they caught up technologically, the viking age ended.
Thank you for this video
Gotta love all this history!

What a great series I found it when I was down with covid and have watched it twice more!!
Your title is a bit off... The vikings did not fall...
We integrated 🥳
Well they did lol but honestly some failed some integrated. I suppose it really means stopped raiding and when harold died
Just settled really.
Christianity seems to have taken the edge of off everybody...Romans, Vikings...and many others...they fought when they had to though, to preserve it....
And misceginated...
And make no mistake. The warrior is still alive inside us

As a Viking longship...
I really needed this motivation today...
Fascinating how widespread their travels were and that they had positive influences as well as murderous influences in many places. I recently learned that my great-grandfather's middle name was Rollo. After the great Viking. He had a Viking first and second name Harold Rollo. I was kind of excited when I learned that. For whatever it's worth. LOL
So Harold Rollo Deal
@@gqakathemagazine6111 although the surname Deal does come from the part of Great Britain where Vikings originally settled, on the southeast part there is a town of Deal.
😂
There was another video of similar Viking content. Part of the video was dedicated to the findings of 2 or 3 female, French historians that went further in discussing JUST what it was that actually 'pushed' the vikings out if their original homelands and forced then in a lifetime of warring and pillaging. Something was driving them out of their Scandinavian homelands.
It was the climate. I can't remember which videos state it, many do actually, but it was getting colder and their farmland was unworkable. They had to migrate or starve.
Excellent work
I dig this 🔥🕺
Wonderfully informative and entertaining! I'm proud to continue to re-enact, research and represent this amazing Era. Thank you, instascribe!
You do re-enactments?
Anyone know when this documentary first came out? How old is it? Thanks all.
Crazy. Thanks!! I always knew bits and pieces of Viking hostory, but this is a great overview. I came here because I was actually trying to find info on the Kyiev Rus 😂
Gold work
This is a fantastic documentary thank you!! I studied a year in Sweden at Stockholm Universitet - political science, and I had the opportunity to travel around and see these places you talk about! Vikings have a fascinating history! I was intrigued that a thousand years ago, social arrangements were so healthy and normalized without the church, so when people got married they just exchanged Combs they had made! A wonderful culture and a very enlightened people, that always drew me to Sweden :-)
Why did they exchange combs?
@@Caress1972same reason they exchange rings!
Peat bogs make peat bog mummies. Essentially leather humans. I wonder how often these sacrifices became mummies.
When talking about the German swords found in Viking graves around 1:16:00, isn’t it possible that these swords weren’t given to or bought by the Vikings in Germany as that was illegal but instead the Vikings took them from the dead bodies of opposing warriors with whom they were im battle?
thank you for a sensational video
this documentary was really cool interested to watch other viking comentary
2:55:20 Did those Vikings really have paragliders? Silk ones, like their expensive ships' sail? If they knew how to make them, they could have FLOWN! It's just a very smart sail, after all.
their sails were made out of wool...
Re enacting is far from the reality back then.... Ruthless and deadly to anyone unfortunate to cross paths with a viking raid....☠️☠️
Also the STRESS that is caused on them with the high intensity of fighting day in day out CHANGES a humans views concepts action and reactions to the rest of the world. There is no way really to know what they felt but they must have been a force to be reckoned with

It was one huge skullcrush festival back then..
"Valhalla, I am coming"
Very cool
Wonderful. A non-false, non-clickbait, non-dramatic, non-moralizing history of the Vikings. ;)
And common guys, for nearly entire series you keep placing Wolin (Jomsborg) in the same place as Truso. The former was located at the banks of Odra River, and the latter at the banks of Nogat, delta branch of the Wisła (Vistula) River. These two places are almost four hundred kilometers apart..
I have been interested in the vikings since I read an old farley mowat book called curse of the viking grave. A sequel to lost in the barrens. I would recommend both. Good reads. Although not entirely based on historical fact.
The volume isn't loud enough really wanted to watch this.. blessings everyone
Great video. I'm aware that the Viking age was technically from 793 - 1066CE, but personally I consider the Vendel era part of the Viking age. When you consider that we now know Swedish Vikingar were raiding in Eastern Europe and Russia at least as far back as the 740s - 750s. The Danes were raiding Frisia and other places during the Vendel era. Norsemen of every kind were traveling, trading and raiding all over Europe centuries before the "Viking age".
Any up
@Moon Cricket Doesn't matter what you think.
Vikings were descendants of royal blood Dacian warriors who were defeated by Romans under Trajan’s rule in 104 AD and retreated in great number from their original ancestor land Dacia towards North Eastern Europe! Danemark was named Dacia actually during Middle Ages
@@hilti4632 where are you getting this information? The Norse were an amalgamation of Germanic tribes that inhabited northern Europe for thousands of years. There's a bog body from the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland, Denmark) that dates to 8,000 years ago. Also, Cimbria is the ancient name for Denmark. The Dacians were a separate people from around what is today the Carpathian mountains. If you're referring to the Goths you've got it backwards. Historians think the Goths may have come from Gotland(Largest island of Sweden) or possibly even Götaland(kingdom in southern Sweden). Gotland and Götaland both mean 'Land of the Goths'.
it only counts when it happens to us...(Brits)
This is so amazing! I wish I would have pursued a degree in History/Archeology.
It’s never too late
It's NEVER too late. I foughtagainst being a historian for many years.,I have now made my living as a professional historian for over four decades. A true Historian is born and not made. I wish to GOD I never listened to anyone on my final decision. Ironically, nowadays,being a Historian is a VERY lucrative job.
I've never understood how so many high school history teachers make history so boring. I didn't like history in high school, it was all dates, name and places. If you could memorize, you could get all A's, but you didn't learn much. I learned more about history in literature classes where they would teach you about the writers and what was going in the world that affected their writing.
@@lucindahumphries4702 I am a professional historian, and I am SORRY that most people experience history that way. I read original letters and diaries from eye witnesses for my living, and to me, history is a living, breathing thing. Most of real history is composed of average people getting on with their lives.
Now understand me:Dates are VERY important, because they allow you to see the BIGGER picture, in that you see what is going on in different places at the same time, or in sequence, showing how one event lead to another.
Example: If your lover cheats on you on a Thursday and you catch him, and you hit the crap out of him with a frying pan on Friday, what haqppened when is important.
Oddly enough, I taught college, so I am amused in that I cannot recall EVER asking any of my students forthe date of ANY event. In university history, we ask you to comment on the BIGGER picture.
For your sake, it is better for you to know the dates BEFORE you take the test, because we ask you to explain a larger event, and the dates help you to put your argument together.

Vikings are all over the world today because of their voyages and spread their dna throughout their journey. My ancestors come from france during the fight with the vikings
Didn't France give up and offer Normandy if they would stop raiding?
Then the vikings took over the UK and it was time to reproduce so their kids could crusade in the middle east as knights
I learned France gave Normandy to the Vikings so they would sail their boats out of Paris. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I wish I had majored in history rather than criminal Justice in college. I am not sure if I could have done archeology given my claustrophobia. This is such an amazing documentary.
