This royal hall was here that there was an ancient centre of power at Avaldsnes. At this point, the shipping route is forced into a narrow passage that runs along Avaldsnes. It is likely this for this reason that such power and riches were generated through the ages. King Harald Fairhair chose Avaldsnes for his main royal estate in about 870 making it the oldest royal seat in Norway. According to legend, Olav Trygvason built Avaldsnes Church, apparently as a manor chapel for the king's residence. This would probably have been quite a small stave church. Construction of the present day church, called "St. Olav's Church" was started approximately 1250 AD, on the order of King Håkon Håkonsson. It was not completed until nearly 1320. Dedicated to St. Olav, it was one of the greatest Norwegian stone churches from the Middle Ages and it was one of only four royal collegiate churches in Norway. The church was an important station of the Pilgrim's Route to Nidaros which ran along the coast.
Dude, hands down best channel on RUclips for germanic & norse spirituality.
Totally!!! ❤
The history of early Northern Europe is such a dark and beautiful mystery. If you were to create a film/mini series. What would it be about? With the success of Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla. There is definitely a thirst for a historically accurate depiction of this time! A well written and balance screenplay depicting this time chronologically may open more eyes to the truth.
I didn't expect someone to make a video about the history of my town. Thanks alot for talking about the viking history!
Beautiful land, presentation well done. I love your videos on Norway.
i live 2 hours away from this place! i'am totally visiting it before this summer is over!
Thank you so much. That seams to be a wonderful museum, which gives a well presented view into the past.
Many thanks!
Trolls: Are giants or dwarves that have long pointy noses, ears that hang down pass their chests, skinny looking, have rough skin, have canine jaws, can blend into the trees as camouflage, they have different skin colors that are different from a normal human, sometimes they have branches that grow on their skin. They can shapeshift into rocks. They can only show themselves to heroes of mythology, demigods, and deities. Trolls will not show themselves to any mortal being. Any mortal being cannot see a troll. Trolls is what makes nature of animals, waterways, ponds, rocks, and trees. Trolls live in Midgard. Its to explain the rocks and stones in Scandinavia. Is this the correct physical appearance description of a troll in the original Old Norse myths before Christianity took over Scandinavia? Is this true?
Random little tidbit, the little replica farm/village, was where they filmed the Netflix show Norsemen.
Amazing video! Greetings from Sweden! ❤🤍💙💛
Hey Micheal thank you for the free gift of a throw that turns into a backpack that has a map of the old Scandinavian countries on it and the drinking horn. They are awesome bröder. Skal!!

I love your guided tour videos, so interesting getting the details first hand, thanks for taking the time doing these, much appreciated❤
Great video as always!
Awesome tidbit of knowledge. I really enjoy your take on Viking heritage.
Do you have any videos that detail Olaf's (of Trondheim) life?

Thank you so much for this walk around and all the history! I'm in NZ so it'd cost me A LOT to get over there. One day I certainly hope so. I know there's an awesome VR place in oslo as well. I want to visit finland too. Do you plan to go into the sami & the northern boarder of norway/finland? Were they the more shaministic/spiritual people that maybe split off between the vendel and viking age period?
Awesome place! Definitely a place I'd like to visit. Shame I don't know the language yet. Some words make sense though. I'll have to bring a Norwegian friend who can translate and teach me it!
I'd also like to hear your take on Jackson Crawford's videos about old Norse.

@@taylorfusher2997 Sounds correct so far. They hate sunlight so I keep my Trolls in the dark were they're happiest. And yes, not only did they eat stones but threw them at each other as well. Hence all the larger rocks around Scandinavia.
There's been an argument going on lately about Mongolian throat singing being used to portray in viking media. Some argue that there was no throat singing being done because the implication of it could've existed doesn't mean that it existed and that pop culture just perpetuates a fantasy of cultural shift of artistic depiction. On the other hand, some believe that throat singing was present due to it being a completely valid possibility that people could've used it. However, there isn't much influence that preceded on the rest of Europe and that our idea of viking music is entirely hollywood dramatized orientalism. But now seeing that the first Norse Capital had Mongolian influence, the possibility that it could've been present remains. I also wonder what Scythian music sounded like, which would've been the tether between Europe and Mongolia.
is this were the show Norsemen was shot ? @9:44
South-west of Norway ❤
could you please put your videos on podcasts , i wish i could listen to them !!!!
My sister lives 2 min drive from Avaldsnes and I live 15 min from it :D
ha en fin dag og alt godt ❤
Skoll! from Cape Verde in west africa 🍻🇨🇻🇨🇻
Home. I
could tell you some stories by the fire.
I suspect that the Kings of Norway (Harald Hårfagre osv). Had more ancestry from that area, rather than Uppsala. (I'm a bit sceptical of "Ynglingasaga" and "Runatal" (Tjodolf), as historical source regarding ancestry
let me fantasize a little. it might be possible that augvalds name is derived from the celtic/slavic words ognjen which is associated with agnis (sanskrit fire, serbian oganj) and vlad which means ruler. so he is the fire ruler.

Faen, nå har eg lust å dra te viking gården igjen, selv om eg har vert der hundrevis av ganger allerede!
I live there...
i have literally been there irl
The Viking Farm is ~1,200 NOK? Seems like a lot of money to be honest. The Nordvegen History Center seems like a better option for those that can't spend the entire day here.
A full entry ticket to both the history centre and with a guided tour at the viking farm during summer season is 180 NOK for adults and 80 NOK for children. I have no idea where the 1200 price estimate is from? That's music festival levels of pricy.
Or as we from Haugesund call it, «avfallsnes»
That is some beautiful country. I'd love to see what the Norse totems would of looked like before Christianity took over.
nothing is translated in the museum ??
How many English museums translate their notes/write-ups? Many French don't either.
But most likely the video only filmed the Norwegian part, and why not!?
@@sarahgilbert8036 Well this sucks big time, especially for a national museum which I think this one is. I'ld be surprised if you can name a French museum lacking translation. (turns out I'm French)
TØNSBERG!!
Cool, it's underground 😮 viking things. They invented things.
Litt rart at Haugesund ikkje blei nevnt ein einaste gong med tanke på kor viktig det var for Harald Hårfagre
good to see AI art is still in a toxix relationship with hands and fingers
Do you consider the viking as indigenous people ?
😂 they're our ancestors, most ethnic Norwegians can trace our lineage back to and past the viking era.
However, the Samí people are the ethnic minority.
Viking is a job, not an ethnic group. Some of the Norse/Scandinavians (an etnich group) went viking (a job)
@@Helgrimr raiding was considered a "job" back then. You went Viking. (Out to raid)
You also had the Jomsvikings who were from Nothern Poland and Germany.
Viking being an ethnic group is more of a popular term.
@@Helgrimr Yes, they did.
@@sarahgilbert8036 They are the "ethnic minority", but they are not the ethnic majority. The northernmost parts of Norway was covered with ice and nigh unlivable. I am naturally speaking well before the Viking age then. Bronze age and such. So if we look at the borders of Norway as it stands right now, the people coming from the south western parts of Norway would technically be more ancient ethnic people of Norway as a whole. They were the first to settle here. However the Sami are definitely the ethnic people of Northern Norway as they lived there before the borders stretched to the point where they are now. But the point remains, many mistake the Sami as being an equivalent of Native Americans.. as if the pre-Viking era people forced them away.. but the reality is that anything basically south of Bodø was always the Germanic Norwegian people's areas. They didn't push anyone away because they were the first to settle there.
It is important to make this distinction as to not make people mistake that Sami people lived further south and were forced further and further North by settlers. There were no one there to "push" North. The Sami people came from eastern parts. Russian territories today and might have been from Mongolian areas further back.

Seems you are the troll!!!
I have always had a deep contempt for Olaf Trygvasson and the christianization of Norway.
Even as a kid, hearing these tales from a teacher who was like a living encyclopedia.
Back in 5th and 6th grade, some of us would listen to his stories between classes during lunch recess instead of going outside.
Ans then we would re-enact some of the tales we heard.
Like the fight between the Birkebeiner and the bagglers.
Look it up.

Ngl I enjoy the lore, but the AI images used are really not doing this favors.
ik u said u need to make vids that r entertaining and also other vids for hist nerds. imo i dont think ai pics really contribute tho. even tho when watching tv ppl expect entertainment, they still watch a history related vid to learn a little something. so as many real pics as u can will help. this vid in particular was kind of hard to follow. when u write an essay, at the beginning of each paragraph u refer back to the thesis statement of the essay, and how u will prove it true with the info in this paragraph. the reader is reminded of the thesis at intervals, and this helps hold all the facts together into one continuous story. its not that this vid seems rushed it just seems like ur leaning more toward mr beastism with trying to pack info into every seconds in order to retain viewership. id say, if u want more 'entertaining' content, then perhaps branch out into history-related content and videos, instead of just pure history. like when i think of entertaining history, i think of the american history channel, and for me, a nerd, that is unwatchable. but lots of non nerds enjoy it. idk what other kind of viking history related content vids could be done that are more on the side of entertainment but u def know better than me. on the flip side, primitive technology is a channel that has never sold out or lowered his content quality standards. he had a great, creative idea, and he made it big. no soy face thumbnails, no pandering. i bet if u can find that creative content and idea u wont need to use "shinier wrapping paper" (stock images, editing, zooms, visual effects, etc). ofc shinier wrapping paper can be useful at times.
It's a museum visit! If you don't like it, go away
Oh, and your writing style leaves a lot to be desired, since you're here throwing stones.
No capital letters; short "forms" like ik and ai and whatever else; no paragraphs ... all of which makes it hard to read.
