OK, I had my eye on Finland during this video. All very educational and entertaining - and one must be able to laugh at oneself to make progress. So, it seems the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bathnia really influenced different development between west and east, quite a barrier...

all around Baltic sea were sea riders / pirates, due to the nature of the area. Curonians (Kurir old Norse) now days Lithuanians and Latvians were in constant wars with Swedish and Danish sea riders / vikings and had been in military alliances with them.

I heard that most settlements along the Irish coast were all started by Vikings, and I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland had a lot too. My own ancestry is 25% Swedish, 25% Scotch, and similar amounts of Irish and English. I take after the Swedish, so I'm thinking my Scandinavian heritage is more than 25%, plus I got the name. Would have been Leif if my dad had his way.

@@dtvjho cool. There's this weird romanticism nwith Vikings. Like I get it, the show was kinda cool and they were great explorers and all. Additionally, some my favorite bands are Swedish but, there's nothing wrong with being Celtic or Slavic or anything else. The Irish don't have much Norse DNA. The Irish stopped any outside people's from impacting their R1b L21 dominated genetics much. I think the Irish are the coolest/nicest people. Well, when they're not drunk mean. The Scots have quite a bit more Norse ancestry than the Irish.

More likely because of the fact that an island is only so big, and they were overpopulated. Also, because of it being an island, they developed fantastic ships and sailors. Scandi blood is just circumstantial, but probably beneficial if one believes in genetic pre-disposition to trait in certain areas.. Norway was also overpopulated although it is not an island - but might as well have been for the lack of arable land vs. mountains. The only way out was to sail.

It's small, but was sailed from Norway through the St. Lawrence Seaway to Minnesota with a crew of 6 I believe. Relics from the Iron Age show activity attributed to the Vikings.

Tell me about it. I was just wondering how 20 minutes passed by and my brain cells were not tired.

Sorry to say we wasnt brothers at all. We killed eachother for petty power. IF we united the world would be a very different place today.

Yes I do as well, loved the video. The brother part is of course a very loose use, but certainly we share the language regardless of how we fought within and outside our borders. The thing not mentioned is how why we were so fierce fighters - the knowledge or sense of our what is really the beliefs that made dying in battle something that was not feared but held high. Once there could only be one god and only one spirit that killed the fierceness and the spirit of the vikings. As it similarly did to Japan after WWIII, and so many others. When current day people look at vikings they mostly see the crudeness and viciousness but they had some high spirited views that went far beyond killing. Like the runes which when translated are often from a spirit of play. Today humans have turned in to pussies, to quote Clint Eastwood. During the sea faring days of 1700's and 1800's people were whipped with cat o' 9 tails (whip with nine tails with hooks and other sharp objects along it) which was routine, you got your several whippin's and were soon back to work. Today you'd probably kill a person with a single hit. To compare how people lived and died with today will be hard for most to comprehend and with that largely not understood. Now you must be politically correct and society sets its standards by the lowest common denominator. The olympics should not have winners because that means there are losers so no more pushing the limits and just settle into some low mediocre life. It does not mean life's choices are black or white, but we need to toughen up and not cry because of some petty reason. Definitely treat others the way you want to be treated and lead a life where others are happy you lived, but be strong, know the difference between right and wrong and stand for something!

The Anti Western Civilization movement which is still going on today has contributed in making the Scandinavian cultures a casualty of the movement though Scadanavia is technically not a part but rather an adjacent civilization, it is still a White civilization and the aim of This Anti Western Civ is the shift in the power paradigm imagined by Non Western Civ cultures . In Scandinavian countries ie....Sweden, Norway , Denamark and others this Reduction of influence involved the Dr-Masculinizing of the male population thru Politics influences on social dynamics . These countries became Demo-Socialist Politically and spending was increased 10 fold on Women's issues etc. This is being increased slowly in America and it has been in effect though not at Sweden's pace in France and Germany . The De-Masculinization and Anti Patricarch view in Society has to bern found to quickly build a pro feminist state

Love it

Oh my god I just posted that xD My grandpa quotes that poem every time I see him.

That is funny! Does it rhyme in Norwegian?

I haven't seen a version in Norwegian, the full first stanza in english is Ten thousand Swedes ran through the weeds, Chased by one Norwegian. Ten thousand more stood by the shore, At the bloody battle of Copenhagen.

@@jakemarsh8967 Thank you for letting me know the rest. This is from a poem?

The runes are fake and it’s obvious. Why and how would norwegian vikings travel to Oklahoma

Just a reminder: If somebody is born and lives in the USA, and has heritage from Europe, they're not that ethnicity. They're just american.

Yes, I have visited Heavener runestone several times and am convinced that the runes were cut into the stone a thousand years ago. The patina in the groves matches the exterior of the stone. Two other smaller stones have been found in Oklahoma (see at Spiro Mounds Museum) and one each in Arkansas and Minnesota. Local American Indian lore has a story of blond and red haired people coming for a while.

​@paldennorbu8808 incorrect. They are of that "ancestry", heritage is being misused by the comment you replied to tho. If you are 1st Gen Amefican, it could still be your heritage as well.

@@paldennorbu8808like ancestors haven’t always been important to different cultures They’re learning about they’re genetic history wats wrong with that

Yes Sweden for sure played a huge role in the East. Just not so many written records unfortunately. But lots of little clues everywhere!

Russians love their founding story with the Kievan Rus, they referred to themselves always as Varangians and always refer back to Rurik and the Rurik dynasty. Although most of them are of slavic descend they feel connected to the Kievan Rus. Just look up some speeches of Putin about the history.

I also live in Uppland. Also, the word Rus also origin from the swedish word "ror". Fram "rorsmän" men with oars. And the runic stones mostly tell about individuals travelling towards the black sea, to Grekland and Miklagård. Later in Varnhem, Västergötland central sweden it is confirmed that some individuals buried there participated in the battle of Hastings, in 1066.

@@norsemagicandbeliefs8134 there is some writen from Byzantine then there is arabs and the slavic them self. There is also some runestones in Sweden about east. I can also ad that house of yngling where alot of viking kings comes from is also swedish vikings and house of munsö with Björn Ironside is a part of house of yngling those all are counted as swedish people then i belive it was some in norway and Denmark also that comes from yngling and are swedish people ruling over others. And for those that want to know what varangian comes from its synonomous with vaeringar and if im not mistake me it meens the oath sworn/the oath sworn people.

@@Max1990Power yes the old name for Sweden amongst finnish, Estonians, slavic and even greek people that said Rōssía i belive meens land of rowers and later became Roslagen

yeah germanic and uralic languages really dont fit together

se on totta
