Borg 700 - 1160 A.D.
In the early iron age (Norwegian 500 - 1030 A.D.). Borg had already been a powerful centre for hundreds of years. The oldest version of the Chieftain´s house was built around 500 AD, and became part of a centre of social and religious status that already had existed forlong times and was to last for several centuries.
An archeological sensation:
1983 saw the start of the excavation, and in 1986 - 1989 specialists scholars from the entire Nordic area converged Borg. The excavation slowly but surely uncovered the largest house in the Viking world, both in Norway and in Europe.
There are several foundation walls in the vicinity that indicates habitation before the chieftain´s hall was raised and after it was demolished. When the excavation began, some of the subsided turf walls were just visible in the terrain. The excavation uncovered the floor-plan. Traces were found of the outside walls, entrances, partitions, floors, hearths and the internal load-bearing posts. The 83-metre house had been divided into 5 main rooms, as shown in the reconstructed building today

This fascination with Vikings feels like a modern concept to me. I am 47 years old, I don't remember people in my younger days having much of any interest in Norse culture. We seem to be retreating into history looking for some kind of shared identity.
yea I don't know what tf is going on with these generations
It's because the present sucks - and life in modern liberal democracies is insanely boring and doesn't allow for manliness - and because this is pretty much the only way European people are allowed to express their identity and experience their roots a little without fear of political repression, as ethnic pride and advancing one's group ethnic interests are totally off limits.
@@rafopderand8524 Damn straight boss!
the term Anglo -Saxon, denoting the foundation of England, has been deemed racist and non inclusive to much of the present day population, and the Anglo Saxon Society has had to change it's name to the Early Medieval Society... crazy times.
@@kc3718 sadly enough yea...
I always found Scotland to be special, but of all the european countries I have seen Norway has the most majestic beauty. It can not be beaten. The fjords really are something unique. I would reccomend visiting Geirangerfjord. You will not regret it.
I visited Sweden and i found that country to be equally beautiful. The forests and the north of Sweden if you have ever seen that it beats the fjords many times over.
@@kingwacky184 Norway and Sweden Share pretty much the same Nature. There's no difference other then that Norway has more Diversity as it still has some colonies.
Great seeing all these good folks helping to keep history and traditions alive. 🙂👍
I have a great grandson named Odin & he now has a 1yr old sister named Valkyrie ~♡~
Valkyrie? It means "chooser of the slain/fallen" - pretty hardcore for a small child!
Fun fact, this is the largest hall building left by the Vikings to ever be dicovered. It is over 80 meteres long.
1:38 smart guy!
I caught that also. Hope it wasn't learned after an accident.
Spent two weeks there on a class trip, my favourite memories from school!
Lucky!
I wish you had included film footage of inside the longhouse, but still, thank you for this.
Well, i know where i want to go next for a vacation! This was absolutely awesome and the scenery is gorgeous 😍 ❤ thanks for sharing this!
This is great!!! Epic video!!! Vikings are awesome.
Lovely! So well done and totally authentic.
I couldn't help but giggle when I saw all of the people wearing life jackets on the boat, a picture of bad ass vikings all decked out in their fur, tats, beards, swords and jewelry....with a bright orange life jacket just made me laugh. Can you see Ragnar and Flokie handing everybody one as they board, "WE ARE SAFELY SAILING WEST TO ENGLAND BOYS" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Yes it's not very viking of them.
It's called company ins...you ware a jacket or you don't ride
Absolutely Beautiful!♥️
Awesome video
I would have liked to see more of that magnificent longhouse.

Hello Ivar

Me.. I grew up next to the longhouse. When i was a kif i used to visit the builders on the constructionsite
i like to imagine the guy in dreads playing the 'guitar' would've been derided as a hipster back in the day lol
It is a "Tagelharpa".
In witcher 3 there is village lofoten.
Interested stories about living in viking village
This Viking all in his world is wooden.So unusual !
What part of skyrim is this from?
northern Norway , northern hemisphere.
Oh no, you didn't get the reference... How sad, although you can't be blamed for missing a masterpiece.
Wow, jeepers. What a disappointment it must be for you gamer types when the poster of a video on a REAL HISTORIC Viking Age site didn't get your incredibly intelligent reference to a video game............my, my what's the world coming to? Or maybe he just ignored it because it has nothing to do with what he is showing us. He probably experienced the same kind of irritation and disbelief that I do when I'm on break at work reading a book about Vikings and a coworker comes by and says "Oh, wow, I like Viking stuff too." and then goes on telling me what he saw in a video game and that stupid TV show....and I just sit there thinking "WTF, why are you bothering me".
Evoir! Valhalla awaits!
A really nice place to visit. I am lucky enough to be from the area, so I went there all the time as a child. Recommended! But please, no sabotage. There has already been some recent problems with that.
What sort of sabotage?
@@np1663 Someone sawed off the head of one of the dragons above an entryway

People were already playing Valheim back in 2015!
At first I thought I was watching a Bloodsport video from the music
Where's the pillaging and plundering??
Shhh, we don't talk about that

A viking rasta ... héhé
othin be praised!
Yo what’s with all the racism in these comments, just appreciate the video and go-_-
Well I was looking forward to seeing the inside of the longhouse but I am glad I just scanned the video to find out there was any coverage than watch the whole video.
Who is here because of Valheim xD ?
I'm here because I searched for biggest Longhouse in the world.
2:12 the bald guy from lost
Lol John Locke
Some of this is accurate, some of this is utter BS, like throwing axes and recurve bows.
But I loved the accurate longhouse and the longboat.
And there is this dumb fascination among Viking reenactors who shave the sides of their heads (skinheads), obsess over tattoos, and mohawk as well as dreadlock hair. Not accurate.
In answer to all the racist comments that I noticed recently I therefore declare:
as a true and direct descendant of the so called vikings I welcome everybody who was travelling before in a nutshell to cross the mediterranean sea. They did what my ancestors did, too.
Greetings from a Hedeby native
stupid
say that in the year 2100 where people are going to be learning about black Vikings because the history books can't be racist... you're ancestors must be proud
Spoken like a TRUE Northman!
Idiot. Youre ancestors where white Nordics. Be proud of them!
Poor brainwashed sheep
I am the soul of RAGNAR LOTHBROK . I remember well my time in 860 AD when we wanted to conquer the world . but even we were limited in our power , for our epoch lasted only 250 years , then we perished or settled somewhere . people , it was a beautiful time that will never come again . our souls now live in vahalla with the gods who take good care of us . when we look at you here on earth , we wish never to come back to this world . you do not have beautiful times , and it hurts us to see what has become of humanity . no honour , no backbone . i wish you a beautiful life in spite of everything . your RACKNAR LOTHBROCK of valhalla
Why are they all wearing what looks to be prison uniforms?
They are wearing authentic clothes from 800-1100 ac, the viking era. Every stich is hand sown, belts tablet woven, shies cut and hand sown, everything in the village hand made from schratch, like back in the days. It is a living museum. 😃
@@jorunnhelmsgard3111 The orange colored clothing everyone is wearing was my question, not what the woven clothing lol. Maybe they are raincoats?
🤣😂Angie, it is lifewests. Law of the land!
@@jorunnhelmsgard3111 🤣😂 takk, det var det jeg trodde lol
@@jorunnhelmsgard3111 lol jeg er så flau 😅
Wonderful! That's my spirit, check my videos
If it was me on Vikings long ship I would been decked for battle not survival suit
Like a kid playing violin haha
These people need to be trained by Ragnar, Björn, Rollo and Ubbe
I could go along with the gorgeous scenery, the actors just fine..., until 2:38 when I saw the dread locks, and my brain screamed "Nooooooooooooo...!!!" I am an avid student of history, including Viking history, and my college minor was Art History. Don't any of these people look at all the old art, the carvings, how the people are depicted, whether in wood or stone? Haven't they checked out the artifacts found at Viking archaeological digs - which include combs made of antler and wood? How about the ancient writer who talked about how handsome the tall Vikings (Rus) were, the fact that local women admired them because they washed their faces, combed their hair, bathed once a week, and carried a change of clothing with them (obviously, not all Viking sexual activity was rape). I had to stop watching the History Channel's Viking series because of the inaccurate details - horses, hair styles, beads in male beards, inaccurate hair styles (not depicted in ancient carving), dirty faces, for a start and the horrible "modern" music on the title intro. I couldn't take it.
Speaking of "music," yours at 3:12 hit a sour note, too. Don't include modern "music" that sounds horrible with depictions of Viking times.
I've heard people claim vikings (more accurately norse people) wore dreadlocks, but as far as I'm aware there is no historical evidence to back it up. However I'm sure someone somewhere in that time and region had it, probably some weirdo hermit living in the mountains, but it was certainly not a trend.
I did an Art History minor, as well as studied Viking history for decades. Right, there is NO historical evidence to back up the idea of dreadlocks on Vikings, nor beads in male beards (beads were for women). As I already indicated, there is written evidence from an Arab traveler who wrote about the cleanliness of the Vikings; they washed their face and hands daily, combed their hair daily, bathed once a week, and carried a change of clothing with them, and he frankly states that the local women liked that about the Vikings. I'd take that to mean there wasn't as much rape as is suggested by the more modern blanket statement "Vikings engaged in rape, pillage, and plunder." [Normal women have always liked men with clean bodies, neat and clean hair that is styled. If they have facial hair, then neatly trimmed beards, not the skraggly look so famous today, along with bedhead hair. Ugh.]
We know from archaeological sites that Vikings were traders, and when they settled in new areas their mercantile skills were as great as their ability to farm land. Combs made of antler, wood, or bone have been found at various archaeological digs where Vikings lived (as well as their very ancient Celtic cousins who were also written about as being vain and concerned with their hair and clothing). In all images I have seen of ancient Viking artifacts that depict men and women, I've never seen dreadlocks, but the hair of both sexes and and beards of men are always neat and trimmed, always well-groomed.
Now you know what Mexicans feel every time hollywood pretend to represent our culture, especially our ancient culture. For some reason it seems all media produces love to show dirty faces whenever they are portraying any culture. That is annoying as hell. Even when they show the Aztec who historically were fanatics of cleanliness and bathed twice a day. Movies about Rome, Asia, or even as recent as World War II they always show everyone with dirty faces, it's annoying. And yes definitely the hair styles! They inject this stupid and idiotic idea that everyone had dreadlocks in every ancient culture everywhere. And as for the music the #1 most annoying and atrocious thing Hollywood does is play Caribbean/Cuban or Spanish music whenever they are depicting Mexican culture. That is as stupid as playing chamber music when depicting the Bayou culture of Louisiana. Mexico has the widest and oldest musical tradition of any country on this side of the hemisphere and yet they see fit to inject elevator music or that cringy Caribbean music despite the fact that Mexico is mostly an Arid and Mountainous culture.
Way to embarrass yourself.
@Grim Peeper - If you look at old art work from the Paleolithic to the late 20th century you will NOT see dreadlocks represented. Braids, long wavy hair sometimes pulled back in a pony tail so it doesn't get in one's eyes while fighting or doing work indoors or out, headbands or kerchiefs or bonnets to keep one's hair off of one's face, or caps to keep one's head warm in winter (all practical things for people who worked hard and didn't really have time to style their hair)..., no dreadlocks for the Vikings (or Celts before them), or other epochs of history. Dreadlocks are a modern invention of people who think the dirty, unwashed, unkempt, bedhead "style" - along with wrinkled and dirty clothing - is a cool aesthetic.
Where da black peepo at? Nowhere, nice!
