    If there was a gold like button, this video deserves it ( except maybe the singing). Hey old friend, I have some good news to share! Last Monday at the hospital, the dressings came off my injured toe and the podiatrist called his colleague over. They were surprised that the wound had started healing itself. For the first time in 3 months. They didn't think it would happen until after the blockage in my blood flow was sorted out. They decided that as the treatment I am under is successful that they will continue with it until I can get an appointment and treated at the other hospital. That night, I had th best nights sleep in months as a great weight was lifted from me. All the nursing staff who deal with me said how much I've changed. I feel that I have turned the corner.

      Also in her latest video she talks about a digging she was part of in Varnhem, Västergötland (western part of Sweden as opposed to eastern part like Gotland) where they also found these people with filed teeth, leaving us to believe that perhaps this teeth filing thing was more common than currently believed, theres also a very good book on it called "The vikings grim grin" on the topic!

    Hello Arith. Just a quick question. You've mentioned in this video of known cases of elongated sculls from South Eastern Europe. Was just wondering if you'd know if any isotopic tests were carried out on those women found in Gotland? They may have come originally from SE Europe. Just a suggestion. Takk.

    • @ArithHärger
      @ArithHärger  2 месяца назад +1

      Indeed, it has been suggested in these studies that the practice may have come from Bulgaria, but it remains unclear. It could be a case of these three women all having been born in south-eastern Europe, as the studuy suggests: "(...) perhaps as children of Gotlandic or East Baltic traders, and their skulls were modified there in the first years of life." But there's also the possibility that such body modifications as presented in these three cases were made on Gotland (the analysis shows that at least one of these women might come from Gotland) or in the eastern Baltic, as a cultural practice adoped from elsewhere and unknown to the Scandinavian Viking Age.

      I think that's the standard of people no simplify it so you can understand better so we simply convince ourselves we understand when we are incorrect about most things??? Is there more ways to perceive the world then sensations, we can write our false understanding maybe because the material median is more important to the apes existence then the content inside. We have to eat afterall and if you are buying and reading the book and you feel more resolved you got your sensational fix. I think I'm not sure tho

    With the amount and range of. Voyaging from the 'viking' and the 'roman' era it's no wonder that certain strange practices or people would be taken back, surely? As we have no concrete evidence it's nice to fantasise on certain habits. But, historically, it's only guess work ATM
    There is still a Viking festival in Oz where the helmets have horns. Fun but incorrect.
    Ps, I'm twice your age and still get distracted by shiny things. So don't worry about it 😁.

    • @ArithHärger
      @ArithHärger  2 месяца назад +2

      One of the first things we learn in archaeology is that objects travel more than people, for instance. When a particular object of a culture is found far away from the usual original contexts, doesn't mean the people of that culture were there. It means different people carrying objects through different ways. Nowadays we have Japanese televisions at our home, Swedish furniture, Indian food, Belgian beer, all sorts of stuff made in China, doesn't mean any of these people were at our home when future archaeologists find this stuff at our dwellings :b hehe.

    Hi Arith, the word denigrate is quite common in the portuguese language however the word has a racist meaning and origin, it might be best to avoid this word in future. A friend of mine pointed it out when I used it as I had no idea what it meant and where it came from. I know use the words defame/ attack the reputation of as an alternative for that word

    About these three women skulls that was deformed, you mentioned it happened in south eastern Europe, then you maybe have the answer there, Swedish Vikings (gaets, Goths, Rus...) had a lot of raids and trade with that area and female thralls could been brought up and maybe later been wifes and such. Hope someone has checked their DNA.
