  • The art of the Teutonic pagans begins with the origin of Germanic people in a regional variant of the Corded Ware culture called The Swedish-Norwegian Battle Axe culture, or the Boat Axe culture, which appeared ca. 2800 BC. This developed in the Nordic Bronze Age culture, which resembles Bronze Age material culture on the continent but has some unique features, with rich barrow deposits of gold and bronze weapons and jewellery as well as thousands of petroglyphs on rocks around Scandinavia.
    The Germanic Iron Age follows the Roman era, and spans what is also called the Merovingian era or the Vendel era. It is at this time the Germanic art style, influenced partly by Rome and cultures from the steppes, becomes clearly distinct from all other art styles. The Migration era and Vendel era is typified by interwoven creatures called "animal style" which Bernhard Salin classified from roughly 400 to 900 AD into three phases called Salin 1, Salin 2 and Salin 3. It was also typical of Anglo-Saxon art in England. This kind of interlace not only influenced Celtic knot-work in the British isles, but also developed into the typical Viking art forms of intricate interlace found in wooden carvings, rune stones, gold and silver jewellery and more.

    The craftsmanship was highly advanced at that time. Stunning.

    Man the detail is incredible and very clear, can’t imagine what a Germanic warrior would have looked like in full gold and ceremonial jewelry

    Some of the most beautiful art I’ve ever seen.

    I am a blacksmith and its beyond humbling to see these peices. One of the helmets you viewed (the one with the head in the middle of the nose that I thought maybe odin) is a reproduction project I am planning on tackling in 2019. Its one of the more famous ones from this period and I believe its from a ship burial. These Smiths did not have the steel we do today but those techniques and technology that smiths of the past used are beyond me. Lost to time. Great video.

    The craftsmanship is stunning, not what a lot of people would expect from such a long time ago.

    So many finds in Sweden, yet we never get any credit for being "vikings". Which is funny, considering the holy cities and most important trade cities as well as by far the most finds is in Sweden.

    Turn off the useless “music”, so we can hear the narration.

    Now I realise as to how the Germanic people became the most industrious people the artwork on the artifacts is a good indicator of the craftsmanship of the Germanic volk. The Ulfbert sword was a technological marvel of the medieval times. An efficient battle sword.

    Seeing some of these artifacts here created an emotional surge of joy and sorrow. Joy that they exist, but sorrow that their aeon has been lost.

    I keep asking myself how they made such unbelievably amazing art work. This video, if for nothing else but the footage of these artefacts, goes on the top of my list. Thank you for taking the time to make this available.
