In Scandinavia there are museums that have vikingships at their display. In my part of Sweden there is a museum called Foteviken that reenacts the life of vikings every summer. We also have a Vikingship formation in stones at Kåseberga. Nobody knows if it´s a burialground or an old calender but it is popular to visit. Even in my hometown Malmö there is an old settlement that was dug out at Svågertorp. When it is thundering we say that Thor is out riding his chariot.

That is so cool, "Thor is riding his chariot". I think I'm going to start using that! Though it never rains where I am, maybe if I say it more then Thor will hear me! Cheers!

Facts regarding the discovery of America, it was actually the Icelandic Viking Leif Eriksson who first discovered America. This took place in the year 1000. Which is long before Marco Polo, who was long claimed to be the discoverer of America.

I have never seen anyone claim Marco Polo discovered America, only Leif and Colombus.

Do you mean the mysterious documents discovered after his death that he sailed over the bering strait and discovered America? Don't you think he himself would report that he found strange new lands beyond a sea?

@@knightofblackfyre7950 I am an older generation and was born in the 60s and we were taught at school that Marco Polo was the one who discovered America and so also programs that were made in America, he was the one they talked about, there were even a party in America then in the 70s and 80s, where they celebrated Marco Polo's discovery of America and drew pictures of him and Indians.

Hey Jay, i just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in your thinking of how America is viewed nowadays. Of course we, America, have had our hands in our fair share of s**t throughout our history, but our country is not unique to this. America is still relatively young and she's going to make mistakes along the way but to suggest America contains a special, unique evil is irresponsible and very ignorant. I served our country (7 years, discharged because of an irregular heartbeat developing) and to see the blatant disrespect to the one flag that allows them all the freedoms to do so. It's heartbreaking. I just developed a new respect for you man, thank you.

Nah, thank YOU man! I wish I had half the integrity that it takes to even sign up to serve. Of all the history I've learned or rehashed due to this channel, I have a deeper appreciation for all veterans. THANK YOU!

1) 6:03 Neither the Norse, nor pagans in general, were "illiterate". The Norse in particular were renowned writers, poets, and merchants. The only thing is they didn't yet have paper, so they wrote on wood and stone slabs, sticks, animal skins, etc. 2) 6:22 You are correct, Thor was worshiped by farmers (among other common folk) because of the rain that came from the storms Thor brought which nourished the land and the crops. This is why Thor is also viewed as a god of agriculture. 3) 7:51 This is true, the Norse had religious/cultural laws and codes they lived by (which are written in the form of The Havamal). Both to survive and as a guide to live honorably rather than be viewed as a hinderance to society. Stealing, murder, betrayal, lying... these were all egregious crimes in the eyes of the Norse. Especially given the already harsh environment the lived in, they didn't need bad apples adding to their problems. Regardless if you were a warrior or a humble farmer or smith, if you caused problems to the community, you would face repercussions.

Thanks for that bit of info! Is there any poems that come to mind that you could recommend? Old literature needs to be read daily by someone, somewhere in the world! Too much time passes and these ancient writings become lost to time to those not reading them for studying purposes. Cheers! Thanks again for those clarifications xD
