Yoyo, i (a swedish man) saw a play based on the edda! The edda might be somewhat "extreme" but from my local runestones (the most famous one being of Sigurd) has been great! I hate how norse mythology is portrayed in the modern sense. Most of us were farmers.
@@Slurp_Co. Contemporary sources about viking were written by those who saw what vikingers did, so after they came over, raided the holy place and killed those resisted, I doubt the first thing they though was "wow, those boats looked so good, great craftsmanship".
Greek is great but imo its the easiest to study due to well documentation(for myth standards) Sumerian mythos being the oldest and no longer active religion has been an issue for research for me lol
@@enzoforgets9456 You should read up on Turkish author Muazzez İlmiye Çığ on the Sumerian mythology. She explains how the all of the Abrahamic religions takes it roots from the Sumerian beliefs and many many more. I don't know if her books are well translated into English, though and the short research I've just done didn't produce any results, damn
Yeah, it's pretty wild. There's a goddess made entirely of snakes, and another goddess who gets impregnated by the severed head of a god spitting on her. Oh, and lots of death all for the sake of making the sun move across the sky.
I just got the Penguin Classic Prose Edda and I gotta say it's pretty kool. Also there's a section in Barnes and nobles for Norse Mythology! Though I can't guarantee all of it is accurate, I can guarantee it is pretty nice to read
What mythology will you go over next after you've gone through Norse mythology? Egyptian? Finnish? I'm interested to learn about some less known mythologies like finnish or ancient sumerian
I will say if you are looking for more of a fictional reading into Norse mythology, Neil Gaiman's book Norse Mythology is a great read, whilst not truly faithful to the source material (as little there is) It is a very nice overview of some of the more well known myths of Norse mythology
recently found this channel while trying to learn more about Norse Mythology. Never been happier. This is amazing. The art style, the humour, the explanation, its Top Notch. keep doing what you're doing! + 1 sub
"You probably clicked on this video because you're a fan of a Norse mythology themed game..." Me: nope "...or movie..." Me: nope "...or book..." Me: nope "...or animated RUclips series." Me: That's the one! Also, I like your new haircut and don't think it makes you look like a dork.
Im not gonna lie ive just been kinda binge watching you while sick for the last few hours, and it felt like a one night stand i suddenly realized i had no idea who you were, i didnt bother looking at the name i was just enjoying it.
One thing to mention: the Rus Vikings (those who Fadlan describes) were way different from the Scandinavian Norsemen, due to like one or two generations separated their customs and cultural influences. So, his account is only somewhat reliable (he was also biased against those people, just like the Christians were towards Pagans).
😊A mug with the sentient sewing needle saying “did someone say sentient sewing needle?” Next to Loki’s mouth being sewn shut would be funny, but like no pressure or anything also I really like your content.😊
I'm just wondering, have there been any time that mythologies have overlapped gods not in the sense of Poseidon = Neptune but rather gods interacting with gods from other religions
I know that in greek mythology Perseus goes to Aethiopia to rescue Andromedra and is said that the people there received a oracle from Ammon (the main god of some middle eastern religions), altrough there he is just Zeus to the writers. When Romans started the war with Carthage, they claimed that they sacrificed humans to Baal Zefom (or other type of Baal), and the romans claimed that to be Saturn, greek Kronos, and that Jupiter commanded them to attack Carthage to end this. But as you can see, is not gods interacting, is just alternate gods being equated with the greek and roman ones. Because you will probably never find some source that really recognizes other gods, they will just say they are an alternate version of their own gods.
Reminds me of an interesting primary text we once studied in uni, from the time when Buddhism was introduced in Japan. In it, a feudal lord declared that the local Shinto god came to him in a dream, and the god told that he converted to Buddhism and wanted a Buddhist temple to be built on the premises of his Shinto shrine. The idea of a god converting to a new religion, combining both religions, was really fun and interesting to me. (Shintoism and Buddhism were mixed for much of Japanese history, until the 19th century, when samurai rule was overthrown and a new nationalistic government made efforts to separate the two religions, and elevate the native Shintoism over the foreign Buddhism. But while the temples and priests are now separate, many people still practice elements of both religions. E.g. it's very common to go to Shinto shrines to pray for good fortune in life, but have a Buddhist funeral when you die.)
I follow Norse mythology to compare the cultures it shares with and has in contact to in the past such as the Celtics, the Slavs, and to the Native Americans.
My favorite variation of norse mythology in media is definitely Ragnarok because unlike everything else being a slightly altered version of already set in stone stories, the lack of Lokis antics in Ragnarok makes completely different and unique stories that are just so entertaining to listen to
My love of mythologies came from a game called Luxor, its all about egyptian mythology with a few tweaked stuff because your main character is a soul placed within a ball launcher by the gods, so that you can help them defeat Seth. There is also bookworm adventures by popcap, where the first game's first chapter involved greek mythology, and my love for norse mythology came from of course, god of war. After playing those games, i just started liking any mythology given to me, until i came across your explanation of egyptian mythology, where my knowledge began to expand about it alongside greek and norse mythologies because your way of explanation is somehow funnier. (Also thor trying to shoot the chalice with a glock is funny asf)
I was expecting you would make the jump to Indo European Mythology and how we can still relate figures like Thor and Odin (from Germanic Mythology) to Celtic and Slavic mythology. In a further stretch, we can even compare these to Greek/Roman and Indian deities. But I digress. Anyway, great video.
Hi Jake, I really love your videos especially Norse Mythology. I'm currently making my very own comic adaptation of Loki and the Master Builder. I was thinking it would be fun to get connected 😊
I legit didn't realize what your username was supposed to mean. I thought it was double "yo". Like someone was holding onto the o at the end. Yoooooooooooooo! Two of them.
One problem with basing your history and myths on spoken word is you need to find words to rhyme in verse, this removes it from being accurate to the details you want and more to what sounds memorable. Christians likely made alterations to the myths they came across but writing is still a lot more concrete and historians can make implications how the story changed. I love Snorri's name, and the fact dwarves originate in norse myth is hilarious.

I like the balance between non-animated educational videos and animated entertainment videos about mythology. You're doing a great job at both 👏
dumb
Modern historians: Source?
Ancient myth creators: The source is that I made it up
That's a nice opinion Senator, how about you back it up with a source?
@@connorhealy1562 my source is that I made it the duck up!
@@connorhealy1562 I saw it in a dream. Best way to claim credibility
Ok but can you point to any specific text that says Thor did not have a glock?
Shit.
Good point..who said he didn’t have a glock?
I love the Crawford translation of the Poetic Edda. It’s got a great feel to it, and you can still feel the poetic part, despite the translation
I got myself a copy of his translation which I haven’t started yet, but I’m looking forward to it!

Yes iam Danish and i also hate when people just talks about Vikings like all of them just killed and raided other cities
@@Slurp_Co. Contemporary sources about viking were written by those who saw what vikingers did, so after they came over, raided the holy place and killed those resisted, I doubt the first thing they though was "wow, those boats looked so good, great craftsmanship".

Same but for Norse

And unlike Norse mythology, the Christians/Spanish conquistadors did indeed destroy/burn their books

As a Finnish man, I would love for you to make a video series about Kalevala. Seems like that would fit your style very well
watching this after catching up on your genesis vids. Very good work man
The appearing and disappearing cat at 7:15 was funny :)
Also at 8:08
I just got the Penguin Classic Prose Edda and I gotta say it's pretty kool.
Also there's a section in Barnes and nobles for Norse Mythology! Though I can't guarantee all of it is accurate, I can guarantee it is pretty nice to read
"You probably clicked on this video because..."
Because I got a notification from Jake Doubleyoo. Do I need any other reason?
so basically Norse mythology is written by a guy saying "MY SOURCE IS THAT I *mostly* MADE IT THE FUCC UP!"
What mythology will you go over next after you've gone through Norse mythology? Egyptian? Finnish? I'm interested to learn about some less known mythologies like finnish or ancient sumerian
Finnish would be cool. I don't know a lot about that one.
@@cedartheyeah.justyeah.3967 Nothing makes sense in it so it's best to skip jt
@@Kristenkore That's a pretty stupid point.
@@Kristenkore It is just as sensible than most of other mythologies
He’s started Egyptian by showing the similarities between Egyptian and Greek mythology

Everyone knows Thor really carries a 12 gauge, not a Glock.
I swear to God Jake's lifeless smile gives me life
:)
Do you mean you swear to Thor
Which one
Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoy your cartoons. They are educational(ish) 😉 and hella entertaining
Hela* this is a norse mythology video after all
@@omarsalem1219 fair point 😂👍
Hey, Jake can you try and make some more egyptian mythology videos?
ikr
I literally am half tempted to miss these videos to not get spoiled for ragnarok but eh who cares its just how good
"You probably clicked on this video because you're a fan of a Norse mythology themed game..."
Me: nope
"...or movie..."
Me: nope
"...or book..."
Me: nope
"...or animated RUclips series."
Me: That's the one!
Also, I like your new haircut and don't think it makes you look like a dork.
Thou be wrong, for I, Þórr, do carry a Glock everywhere I, Þórr, go! For the only thing stronger than I, Þórr, is I, Þórr, with a gun!
I always wondered about the Germanic paganism in Northern Europe sad to know its lost
Sure, Frikko may be an alternative name for Frey, but it also sounds like a hilarious G rated insult
0:28 well of course he doesn't......... he caries a bazooka
I am utterly shook. My life is a lie…
What point is it to live in a world where Thor doesn’t carry a Glock? 😢😢😢
Im not gonna lie ive just been kinda binge watching you while sick for the last few hours, and it felt like a one night stand i suddenly realized i had no idea who you were, i didnt bother looking at the name i was just enjoying it.
You’re videos are SOOO Funny Jake !!!😂
Norse Mythology is crazy! Keep up the awesome work! Love the channel.
Couldn't be a Jake video without his cat walking in on him while recording
i was sad, when i learned that thor actually doesn't carry a glock with him at all times
Oh yes, the Glocknir :)

"Dressing up as a bride to get his hammer back" sounds like a euphemisim for a viking who dresses in drag to cure erectile dysfunction.

I follow Norse mythology to compare the cultures it shares with and has in contact to in the past such as the Celtics, the Slavs, and to the Native Americans.
4:07 I'm pretty sure that comes from "Well, the Spanish destroyed all Mesoamerican records, so probably it happened in other places".
bro got a haircut 1 minute into the video😭😂😂
Gotta get a refund from that barber bro
yea
4:35 if you watched Jackson Crawford's video on it, you'd know that it's pronounced more like rook than "roke".
I would like your sweater, sir. I looks comfy, cozy, and down right fashion!
The intro made me say, "This is just the video find I wanted to find!"
After watching I said, "That was just the video I wanted to find!"
You can do on the Shinto gods if you like, otherwise keep going like that I love your videos
Do Egyptian or a on Artemis pls
Edit : I always love how he recommends other channels instead of other channels which are like " well mine is better "
