I bet the person who produced that coprolite never imagined his poop would one day be in a museum, where people would come to look at it from behind glass.

I was an exchange student in 1993 and lived in Ripon. Ive been to all these locations and it's exciting to see them again so many years later.🇬🇧🇺🇸💞

I like Absolute History it focuses on actual history and not about how many times they can put aliens in our past.

Viking 1: What the fuck is taking you so long in there? Viking 2: Shhhh! I'm making history. 💩

PLEASE make the rest of your Vikings episodes available in the USA. I can see there are 2 episodes not available to us.

I’m on season 4 of The Last Kingdom rn. 🤩 This video is perfect timing to learn more about the real history. So awesome!! Thank you!

Nice Video showing Excellent capability of Viking tribes in Fighting, Trading , Settling their status , converting to Christianity &leaving Significant fingers inside Several European civilizations

Than you ! This was so informative, and well thought out! I learned so much . I am basically half Norwegian, and half Scottish. 2 of my 3 sons fell in love with Russia as preteens. I didn’t know about the Viking connection! Thanks again!

One small correction - Mieszko wasn't the first king of Poland. He was the first historical ruler but the first king was his son, Bolesław Chrobry. Mieszko had a title of duke, not king.

I love this channel.. SO MUCH

Just found this channel today. Absolutely incredible content.

Now it makes sense why English Royalties are close to their families in Norway ,Denmark and Scandinavia. Goes way back.

I've recently learned that I'm descended from the Normans. I find these fascinating, thanks for sharing!

nothing to do with vikings but thought i'd mention my family is descended from the Visigoths.

This is so cool, I never knew there was a Viking "commonwealth", or that they were the Rus!

@32:00 minutes the narrator stated, "Vladmir became King and converted to Christianity , then married his sister....". I don't think it works like that.

Absolute History is absolutely astounding.

One side of the Vikings was Loki in disguise the other side was Thor

Love watching documentaries like this

The original footage is astounding.

Absolute History Viking the great Heathen army 873 AD Listening from Mass USA TYVM 💙

Good stuff.

1:08 haha I like the translated voice!

Hell yeah ! I’ve been studying the Kievan Rus’ for awhile now, time to break out the popcorn for this one 🍿🍻

Thank god for chronicles

More King Cnut please!

First comment! Yahoo! I'm a big fan of your channel!!!

I'd like to know more about the Norsemen of Italy.

Apart from Christianity, was there any real distinction between Jutes, Geats and Saxons that invaded England 500 years earlier? It's a proximity to the Roman Vatican power sphere question.

A glaring omission here has to be the viking invasions of Ireland which established the cities of Dublin, cork, Limerick, among others. The Norse kingdom of Dublin(est 841) was one of the most important viking kingdoms in western Europe and pre-dated York, or Yorvik, as a viking stronghold. Indeed, Ivar the boneless was King of Dublin from 857 to 873 and it was from Dublin that he planned his invasion of England in 860 which ultimately brought about The Danelaw in england and established York, or Yorvik, as the Danelaw capital. Dublin, or Dyflin(as the Norse called it) and York, or Yorvik, were subsequently ruled by the same Irish Norse Uí Ímair(sons of Ivar) dynasty.

look how far they travel, its insane.

Best Christmas gift ever must go to King William :P

Mieszko was a Viking? He came from the Piast dynasty!

plot twist though Kyivska rus was in Kyiv which is Ukraine. So I don't think supporting Russian narrative of pan Russia that incorporates neighboring states is a good idea in the current political climate

29:51 still waiting for them to mention where the rus vikings where from. Considering they both showed a map and everything about the norwegian and danish ones. Why has modern viking documentaries started to kind of omit the swedish vikings? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpqPpZB63rmye4E.html&ab_channel=BirkaViking What is the name for sweden in finnish and estonian respectivly? .... Routsi and Rootsi

Mari Via seems honest , her statement is probably true and trade has competition.

Is Rollo portrayed by Uhtred in The last Kingdom?

Wow! They really traveled around the whole globe. And mostly on horses. I wonder how they got the time to do other things like building thousanda of ships and tending to their farms

On the origin of the phenomenon of the “Kievan Rus’: “First, in ancient times, the concept of "Kievan Rus" has never been used. The name of the country and the people were simply the word "Rus". As an ethnic self-designation, it was used already in the treaties of Oleg and Igor with the Greeks in 912 and 945. the Byzantines called Rus "Russia" "Russian language" "Russian people" and "the Russian land (Russka Zemlya).” The concept of "Kievan Rus" emerged in the historical science of the middle of the XIX century in the narrow geographical sense: to denote a small podneprovye region - Kyiv region. It was first used by the historian S. M. Soloviev (1820-1879), the author of the famous book "History of Russia from ancient times", which was translated into 29 languages (ed. since 1851). He, in particular, tried to distinguish between "Kyiv Rus", "Rus Chernihiv" and "Russia Rostov or Suzdal". This same understanding is found in N. And. Kostomarov ("Russian history in biographies of its main figures", 1872), V. O. Klyuchevsky ("Full course of Russian history", ed. from 1904), and other historians of the second half of XIX - early XX centuries.” More particular information on the Rus’: “Prior to the Mongol invasions, Rus was composed of East Lithuania, Belarus, Northwest Russia, and East Ukraine if we want to use a modern frame of reference. This was not a single nation, more like a very loose group of people united by a common language and culture. While it gets called the Kievan Rus, Kyiv wasn't really a capital, it was just the best known and most established of the city-states in Rus and throughout many periods of the Rus's history was the dominant city-state, which allowed it to control nearby city-states to a degree. Kievan Rus’ is more of a term for determining a time frame than a nation. During the Mongol invasions, the population of Southern Rus generally shifted to the safer North, to other major cultural centers of Rus such as Novgorod, and eventually to Moscow. Kyiv was burned to the ground by the Mongols more than once while things in Novgorod remained rather stable. Novgorod and Moscow (and Kyiv) all were forced to pay tribute to the Mongols until Moscow rebelled and much later defeated the Golden Horde, becoming an independent state. Meanwhile, Kyiv was a part of Poland-Lithuania. Then after a series of wars, Muscovy conquered and thus reunited the lands that had once been part of Rus, thereby becoming Russia. Since the culture in this area was the same, the lands that Moscovy annexed (such as Kyiv) became simply parts of Russia. There was no cultural boundary and there was definitely no such thing as Ukraine at the time. Kyiv was a Russian city, and people living there in 1700 would have called themselves Russians.” The narration and the premise are the embodiment of propaganda, the involvement of the Norsemen in the Early Medieval history of Europe is vastly overstated, and an obvious resonation of the fact that the only land where they established permanent footholds was the British Isles.

ncredible conten

In the 8th century England as such did not exist so the "English" were merely Saxons, Angles, Jutes or Britons depending on where they lived. The Viking ie "Danes" didn't invade "England".

Yes true

its not a sacrifice if they are already dead. They burned them sometimes into water in order to take them to Vahalla*

why isn't Norse spoken and Viking culture followed in the zones of Viking conquest. English and Spanish are still spoken in their former colonies?

@8:08 fast forward a thousand years when future archeologists are looking at our poo they're going to wonder why there's so much plastic in there.

N0 trade of silver for furs outside of Scandinavia??? Thats incorrect.

The sole King of England was Alfreds grandson.

jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keeps you wealthy!!!!

Why did they do the polish historians voice like that? Lmfaooo

I m looking what was the position of women in time of Vikings...

Rus is a color of hair. Red, so dark it looks black until the sun hits it. Absolutely gorgeous. I've only seen it long, straight, thick, and yet light. It's where Keivan Rus got its name, the original name of Ukraine. Then the moskovites (centered in moskow) liked it so much they stole and named their country Russia. Russia didn't exist until a few hundred years after the events of this video.

Didn't this guy have a finnic paternal haplo (N) or something or was he slavic?

This is awesome! A doc about Assassins Creed!

Too many ads interrupting. Annoying. Sorry can't listen

Christopher Columbus eat your heart out. Shouldnt even be in textbooks. N0body traveled as much as the Vikings

They didnt go to EGYPT?

No Vikings ever ruled in Poland. Even Jomsvikings were beaten up by neighbouring Slavs from Stettin and never reached out far from their seaside trade emporium. Slav vikings (viking = pirate) called chąśnicy from Stettin sieged and burned towns in Norway. Świętosława (daugther of Mieszko, wife of Sven Forkbeard) is strictly Slav name so suggestions that she was not a Slav is just a joke. Mentioned Nestor writes in Primary Chronicle, Rurik was an elected king - Slav tribes preferred an arbitrary, usually chosen from the weakest and foreign tribe. The tradition reminding later Poland and Lithuanian Commonwealth king's elections.

👍👍👍

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. John 3:20-21

Super annoying that you dub non English speakers. Use subtitles, ffs.

Stop the adds now. Why you not stop this site KZfaq No Good reason have Billions of dollars from sponsors and us.

Ah. The irish-scots and vikings came to America 400 years before Columbus. Some Vikings must have been made Christians in order to trade and if not, there wouldve been a shitstorm between the two.

How I hate these ads!

Another vid w the voice over guy taking the piss. D'oh! Give me Michael Wood, Neil Oliver or Waldemar any day.

⚘⚘⚘

No matter how good the description of battle techniques, weapons and history are.... It's these for the love of God would you not show reenactment footage is reenactment footage to try to illustrate a battle! I would rather have cartoons than these ridiculous videos of a bunch of Nimrod standing around and outlandish medieval kit. Bloody counterproductive

The knotty palm correlatively press because prepared likely want from a envious battery. stupendous, faded education

Slaves and Scandinavians are the same

Btw Vikings had a woman,or had many women?

King William, not bad , still lots of contradictions and speculation about what life was about and really like. Someday , we might find out who Jesus Christ really is and is all about.

I would love to know the truth about the origins of the Northern European people and beliefs, you wil NEVER EVER NEVER HEAR THAT. Same old story that is illogical and theory. Few real facts , they use previous videos to build more videos. It’s possible that a real modern, technical and high cultural and deep spiritual nations lived building impossible structures with modern heavy equipment and engineering. FACT - history that these primitive tribal animals lived like pigs and fought over ridiculously trivial and petty issues is a superstition. Sick of it Remake some of those carved statues and gothic cathedrals, they can’t.

The noble pale ones create the most amazing civilizations in history time and time again. This is why you see forced mass imm*grat*on of all pale people's countries.

Amazing that Scandinavian bloodlines would lead back to Africa. Quite a feat. 😃😄🤣

Next thing theyll tell you is that the Vikings couldnt have done it without the jews---Jew ads everyday--Maybe the Palestinians will start aiming better
