Wife and I keep the Viking trade tradition going here with our shop, Stonegaard Forge. I make blades and other forged goods, and she makes hand-made jewelry. We travel around the Carolinas selling our wares at markets. Also I got the album and rock out in my workshop.
Thanks Jjohan Hegg for lifting our spirits with your inspirational music it is because of your bravery and your voice we do not remain silenced or unsung. Also I refuse to betray your friends or family that I am not in favour of the false portrayal of Rollo that does no such justice for my defeated displaced ancestors who realistically refused to betray their own and tragically failed to avenge their own that they fled from religious persecution after suffering a peace violation according to the indigenous sources and the oath rings that state our refusal to betray our own and our sacred ancient Mjolnir goat wand hammer amulet that states we like Thor's goat's are peaceful territorial defenders that rebel against invaders that threatened to destroy our sacred Mjolnir charm to turn it into a Crucifix.
It is really interesting to know that they sailed as far as possibly towards Mexico/Mexican Gulf. Also, of course skulls make horrible goblets; the brain chamber has many holes and pathways, like the orbits of the eyes where optic nerves and stuff reside, or where the brain stem connects to the spinal cord at the base, so you're constantly spilling everywhere. Plus, what if it makes the drink taste terrible and you get an infection for even trying because sanitization was yet to be truly pioneered even then?
1. Love the new CD! 2. Thanks for sharing some Viking facts with everyone. 3. Facts one through nine I totally agree with, however, I have not seen anything showing that nordic explorers/Vikings made it to Mexico. Perhaps my knowledge is lacking on that point.
I think it's more of an educated extrapolation because it's highly unlikely that Vikings arrived in Vinland (Newfoundland, Canada) and stopped being Vikings lol. They would have followed the coast (and there is evidence as far south as Maine, USA that this is the case).
@@rydersonthestorm7175 I definitly think that norse explorers travelled further south than Newfoundland. The sagas speak of them finding wild grapes (Vineland). No wild grapes in Newfoundland, but there are some in New York.
I belive in that context "law" mean "reign" or "rule", not refering to a formalized judicial system. But that do not disprove that the Vikings actually had a formalized judicial system.
Not every skandinavian was viking of course I'd agree to that. But every skandinavian including other common Germanic tribe before Christianity reached them, were pagan, most likely a branch of norse paganism because they had different names of their main Gods like wotan, Woden, etc
Alot of people had myths that Vikings were these super buff, steroid pumped men with giant axes they'd swing to and fro killing their enemies. That isn't true either. Like Johan said they were farmers. So these men were scrawny. They didn't have much muscle. In some pictures if you see these Vikings they looked as if they were starving. Which could likely be true as to why they'd be raiding. I mean a man has to eat. They plundered not just for currency and trade but also to fill their bellies
the whole warlike culture in the viking society is mainly because odin made us to fight for him in ragnarok in return he would give us valhalla when we died bravely either in general or on the battlefield but we did need blacksmiths,farmers,cooks,traders,clothesweavers,craftsman, ect
Exactly. No different than any other culture with warriors. Funny how "these savages" spreads faster than "these people who are protected by warriors".
Wait i thought that the Summerians had the first written laws.. guess i was wrong for a long time xD Also i love that Nergal was there goofing behind that stand xD
@@Ganymede559 I am not sure about that, but i am probably wrong. Cause if i am not mistaken the sumerrians wrote the first law about 6000 years ago, at least that is what i got from history books.
@@Ganymede559🤣🤣🤣 old testament is based on the Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian and Mesopotamian creation myths, but they twisted the stories to suit their own agenda.
@@joshuaswanson1977 Those cultures existed at the same time, though non of them had divinely inspired law or commandments from the Most High, which was my point. Those cultures actually sided with Fallen Angels. Old Testament isn't based on Indo-European law by the way, which is what those cultures are. Those cultures documented a global flood which the Bible also reveals as having happened. There was no divinely inspired law before the Old Testament. The phrase 'divinely inspired' means to have 'come from the Most High'.
Actually it was so common to go viking that the king had to forbid it at one point. Our scandinavian culture was a warculture. That's a fact. Everyone was a warrior. But as he said, like for most people in Europe, farming and hunting was very important, how would you else survive? I do think they left the farming partly to slaves tho.
There are written accounts of Anglo-Saxons being concerned about coexistence with England-settled Vikings because they compromised the "chastity of their women" due to their beautiful, groomed long hair lol.
Love nergal just poppin out behind the chair
was that nergal
@@Manhunt2299 Yup
I was thinking it’s Nergal but not sure
Nergal...the clown of clowns
Imagine being at school class and Johan Hegg was your history teacher😂😂
Id probably fall over because hes actually telling the truth.
He certainly is. I dont think he said a word here was untrue.
Dude I would be paying attention more often.
one of our teachers at my school listens to Amon Amarth, unfortunately, he's an english teacher, but he's a very nice guy
that would be awesome
When you are so Viking that you don't even notice when Satan appears behind you.
lmfao right?
Hilarious
He died that night mysteriously. Warlock sh*t.
satan's bitch not satan's himself

Johan and Nergal my two favorite singers of all time!
I really like your last point answer about who found America first, really well said.
Amon amarth awesome band with amazing vocals and fantastic guitarists and awesome drumming 🥁 💀🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤👹👹💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I can't wait to see Amon Amarth on tour. That lineup is ridiculous.
Awesome. Some I knew, some I didn't. The last question is still something we have to educate people on, sadly.

Very well informed video on Vikings Johan!
Love how he's like "here are viking myths that we make disgusting profit out of appropriating, misrepresenting and perpetuating misinformation."
It is really interesting to know that they sailed as far as possibly towards Mexico/Mexican Gulf.

I call bs on this and he probably would too.
@@mvsfan3335 You're calling bs on simple biology? Did you not study the skeleton in class?
You should read The Kon Tiki. K, but like a skull with a lining in it.
English like butter, nice and smooth> Love you brother and thanks Metal Injection.
Forever love the fact that he wears bands rings that he likes!!
Awesome Cheers from Norway Skål🍺
Was that Adam (Nergal) just popping his head in at the beginning? lol.
Is there Nergal?

At Midgardsblot 2022
1:38 saw Bjorn in Vikings TVshow give Alle a blood Eagle LOL
Vikings did travel the world. We know that because some of the artifacts they brought back home.
Thanks for the Viking info.
00:29 hey Nergal!
Nice
GREAT LONDON GIG WITH MACHINE HEAD MAN .U HAVE ONE MORE FAN .CHEERS
id pay to hear him talk about the viking people and age.
Scrambled heggs in the morning is the best😜
Nergal just saying hi 🤘
I love this man sm T-T
El es hermoso❤🤘
And for the law question.
The area in england where york is, was called "dane law".
I belive in that context "law" mean "reign" or "rule", not refering to a formalized judicial system. But that do not disprove that the Vikings actually had a formalized judicial system.
And York was then called Jorvik.
The guy in the back dropped dead that evening mysteriously. What happens when you f**k with a Level 50 Warlock.

bath once a week, damn. :D

@@TheFinisher669 well unlike a lot of other cultures vikings had more priorities revolving around ragnarok but yes that is true
cool! just found out I'm part Norwegian so this is very interesting and from a metal guy lol
I wash once a week, therefore I'm a Viking too. 🚿
True Vikings wash every Saturday, wether they need it or not.

So you say the Vikings were in fact dirty dirty boys 😜 or at least dirty dirty girls hoped they were.
Did they have guitars??!!
The new album is awesome you guys!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘💯
@2:22 Drinking from the skull of their enemies: Bulgarian Khan Krum drank from the skull of Nikephoros after he won in battle. True story.
This is awesome!!!
Thanks for insights Johann 😎
