- The Vendel era 550-793 AD
In Scandinavia, the Germanic clan society was still very much alive.
In Uppland, in what today is the east-central part of Sweden, Old Uppsala was probably the centre of religious and political life. It had both a well-known sacred grove and great Royal Mounds plus Great pillar colonnades one over 900 meter and the other was atleast 500 meter. In February 2014 showed the oldest samples from the woden pillars that the oldest ones was 2800 years old. So the wooden pillars was erected and in use during a time period of atleast 1400 years.
Experts believes the pillars would have been atleast around 7-8 m high and each pillar was supported with 1,5 ton stone.
The Vendel Age was a time characterised by the appearance of stirrups and a powerful mounted warrior elite in Sweden, which rich graves in for instance Valsgärde and Vendel.
Swedish expeditions was active to explore the waterways of what was to become Kievian Rus at this time.
Games were popular, as is shown in finds of tafl games, including pawns and dice.
Snorri's account that Adils had the best horses of his days, and the Gothic historian Jordanes' account that the Swedes of the 6th century were famed for their horses find support in archaeology.
Beowulf is an Old English epic poem consisting of 3182 alliterative long lines, set in the early Vendel era in Scandinavia, commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature to the fact that it is the oldest surviving epic poem of Old English and also the earliest vernacular English literature.
Animalistic warriors as Wolf, Bear, Wild boar warriors are depicted from this age plus warriors with (raven) bird figures and horned warriors on their helmets.

The most beautiful cultur of the world ! ^^
My eyes are full of wonderful things. Thank u Gare
People true to the gods! The real gods to our people.
Equus Scandinavicus (Viking horse) may seem small to Americans, but they are very strong, intelligent and sure-footed. To my eyes, the most beautiful of all horses.
Very good video again BirkaViking, it was good to see that you keep the quality high as usual :)
Sorlendingen82: Thanks that you liked the video.It actually took me some years to get this video finished
BirkaViking Top quality, very good work! :)
Riddle of pre-Viking Vendel era horse racing in ancient Sweden
Gamla Uppsala (or Old Uppsala) in Sweden, is a powerful ritual landscape complete with enormous burial mounds - and strongly associated with the Norse god Freyr.
But was this site also home to ritualised horse racing?

BirkaViking you have not forgotten about the International Festival reconstruction "Ladoga" 28-29 June 2014

Владимир Сухов: Thanks that you liked the video :-)
Yeah the Ladoga festvial looks really awesome :-)
Cheers from Sweden
BirkaViking Hello BirkaViking
I want to ask your opinion about it
www.davidkfaux.org/CentralAsiaRootsofScandinavia-Y-DNAEvidence.pdf
Владимир Сухов Well I dont belive in that theory at all. Because the culture up here dident change much at all since the Bronze age. You have both Tumulus and Stone ships since the Bronze age. And if you look at Ynglingatal and from the early Vendel era like kings as Ottar Vendelkråka. You will see that between him and Oden its 17 kings. Which would take you to times probably before the birth of Christ. And the early ship burials dident exist in the east during this time period either. I thinks its more likely that the early Schytians once came from Scandinavia and not the other way around.
Much more interesting than the Viking age
Bear warrior for the win!
The raven helmet reminds me of the Mithras hat.
Nice work, Birka!
Vened Warlock: Thanks that you liked the video :-)

Ye migration era handguards looked so much better than viking age ones.
awesome!
Damn this is very good ,, this is a part of our history that is so known .. Geats , svear and Wulfings ,, this is what started the Viking era. Or shall we sat that Vendel/Viking era is the same .. Because of 1 reported attack on lindisfarne in year 793 8 of june started the Viking age... there is no clean line between this ... The Salme ship nr 2 had also sail and it was made in 600 th century... Norseman had sailed and raid much earlier but east was the main target.
Great video.
Nice video and explanatory write up. Keep up the good work.
Robert Hiorns: Thanks for the kind words :-)

Thank you for the video birkaviking. I have a question for you. Something that has bothered me for some time. How come the art of scandinavia seems to have declined with time or am I wrong about this? The finds from vendeltimes seems so much higher quality than what we see from 800-1100.
Also do you think scandinavians got the idea of making runestones from picts? The finest picturestone i've seen is actually pictish en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilton_of_Cadboll_Stone the gotländska runestones look like shoddy copies in comparison, sadly.
Ullbritt: Well the unique Nordic and Germanic style of art and so on declined when the Christian faith advanced in Scandinavia. And the pre-runestones writing up here in Scandinavia was the petroglyphs as you can see here for an example at The King's Grave in Kivik from the nordic bronze age: sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kungagraven_i_Kivik
...and the Elder Futark runes look suspiciously akin to the Etruscan alphabet. I do not believe this to be a coincidence.

Cool!
Ron Snyder: Thanks and cheers :-)
Why the emphasis on a hooked beak,more like an Eagle or hawk.!!for hunting and attacking prey?
2:00
I think someone made a great replica of that sword... some czech dude
This is all well and good but where are people like this now to prevent total Muslim takeover.
The wild boar wins the day! Even bear and wolf fear the rage of the wild boar!
Fin video
Herr Hansen: Tack för att du gillade videon :-)

If I'm not wrong, wolf warriors were characterized by wolf skins they wore as a shirt, and long time ago as a kid, I can remember that I read somewhere that wolf warriors were called "Ulfhednar" (Ulfsark, Ulfshednar?) And if I remember, they were a kind of lower "class" warrior, somewhere above "common" warrior and berserkers? Should findthat text and read it again
Skål!!
You ever seen a raven with a hooked beak?well?
More like an Eagle,probably aquired from somewhere else connected to fur trading.!!!!Amerca possibly.!!good furs there,the Romans aquired animals and furs,!!
Ar fheabhas....Is maith liom ceol
The splintered torso armor has been proven fake. It is like a misinterpretation of arm protection or greaves
Well I'm not an expert in that area but by the look at the splintered torso if its fake as you say it must fit a giant as arm protection because they sure look way to big for that.
Those Helmets and armors probably came with a couple of thousand heruls fleeing away from langobards etc. at the continent. A lot of names with westgermanic word 'rinc' is also a sign of this. Rinc-/Rink- etc., is not Scandinavian. Placenames like Rinkaby, Rinkeby, Rickeby, Rinkestaholm. Mainly around Blekinge and Mälarvalley. They settled as warrior upper class, like the normands did in England. Probably made people believe in their divine origin, and for sacrifice money was collected. Central place was Uppsala with land donated or confiscated to it. This was called 'Uppsala öd', "Uppsala estate". Procopios mentions this. Järsberg-stone from 700 c, says 'Ek erilaR', "I the herul". Lars Grahn.proves that a reorganisation of society takes place in 600c. The proofs of a herul invasion are too many..!
Håkan Liljeberg The Herules orginated probably from scandinavia and later returned. The Järsberg stone are also located in Värmland and not in Uppsala. Uppsala seems to have been a center that worshiped the Norse gods a very long time up to the end of the viking age and with the pillar columns found there its very likely from the Bronze age.
+Håkan Liljeberg Pliny the Elder claims that they were from Scandinavia (as the 'Hirri') and according to Jordanes, they were pushed out by the Dani and followed the Goths to the black sea (near Azov) before returning to Scandinavia.
Vandals = Scandinavians ???
The early Slavonic historians were saying that Vandals were SLAVS !!!
This has nothing to do with vandals. The age is named after some finds near the Vendel church north of Uppsala, Sweden.
+Mysliciel Vandals were East Germanic, like the Goths. Paulus Orosius placed their original homeland as being near modern day Stockholm (Sweden).
Rom_troy Poland was part of Magna Germania. And the Slavs would of been slightly further East at the time of the those migrations.
Despite genetics (whether they be Iranian/Alan, Smaratian, Scythian, Slavic, Hunnic or Germanic), the Germanic people in Eastern Europe would still been ethno-linguistically Germanic.

R1a is Indo-European. (It also has a concentration in India.)
Rom_troy That's funny, because historians don't agree with each-other on that, yet many think that the proto-balto-slavic people weren't in Poland but Eastern Belarus/Ukraine. So prove it.
Here is the list of theories:
The theory of the Polish historian Gerard Labuda sees the ethnogenesis of Slavic people in the Trzciniec culture[36] of ca. 1700 to 1200 BCE.
Milograd culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs (or Balto-Slavs) were the bearers of the Milograd culture (7th century BC to 1st century AD) of northern Ukraine and southern Belarus.
Chernoles culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs were the bearers of the Chernoles culture (750-200 BC) of northern Ukraine, and later the Zarubintsy culture (3rd century BC to 1st century AD).
Lusatian culture hypothesis: The pre-Proto-Slavs were present in north-eastern Central Europe since at least the late 2nd millennium BCE, and were the bearers of the Lusatian culture (1300-500 BC), and later the Przeworsk culture (2nd century BC to 4th century AD).
Danube basin hypothesis: postulated by Oleg Trubachyov;[37] sustained at present by Florin Curta, also supported by an early Medieval Slavic narrative source - Nestor's Chronicle
Rom Troy That's all excellent information but I don't see how it defines the Vandals as being Slavic.
On the other topics you mentioned.
As far as I understand, the East Slavs had a relationship with the Vikings similar to that of the English. As in, the Vikings helped unify the many states into the Rus. And Pomerania fell under Norse control as well.
Aren't Wends the West Slavs? Like Poles, old Bohemians and Slavic Pomeranias?
sh!t, english! i will see it in german!
