It's fun to not like people but please come put your stickers all over the city I think it'a funnier the more archaic the building just just like the Viking who was like I'll put my name on this cathedral now lolol
I always learn the most extraordinary things in these videos. And they always have this wonderfully atmospheric quality to them, like a bit of ancient magic is seeping through.
I'm Australian, my grandparents from my father's side are from Lerwick and my grandmother on my mums side is norwagian. Very happy to see your last two videos
I'm also Australian with Shetland ancestors. I recommend to contact the genealogist in Shetland, and let them know the surnames of your grandparents. they might be able to help you find records or a relative. I met relatives there who were absolutely great to meet, and got to see the stone wall ruins of the fishing village my ancestors lived in.
One might expect the Hebrides Islands to be insulated and preserving its culture but no. The Isle of Skye has been selected as a place to seed "migrants". (Maybe partly because Trump's mother is from there? To "rub his face in diversity"?) The church there especially is funding this. The (female) vicar misunderstood an Old Testament Bible verse which she thought meant that strangers enrich nations. When it actually was about foreign nations being prophesied to lay tribute to that place in the near east with riches, servants, cattle etc. Anyway, the Isle of Skye has been seeded and the natives will soon be a minority.

Hiperborea was described by Plato in similar traits as Atlantis which might suggest one actual historical place. More, the evidence shows that place named Budziak in Northwestern Black Sea region is a source of the Greek calque of the Atlantis. Even by meaning of name. A”is negating “tl” means bottom. Together reads no-bottom or abyss. So the place has been named after catastrophic event which is went under the water. There is evidence suggesting Great Flood happened in Black Sea northern coast in the place called Nisir ( Epic of Gilgamesh) which derived from PIE *ni- that remain in the base of the name Nistru ( Dniester) in Northwestern Black Sea region.
I was ready to explode on this comment since I haven't found anywhere the citation of Hyperborea from Plato, so I said, another youngling try to teach Intellectuallity! Thankfully, I ask the Chat GPT for any reference by Plato and you are f*cking right! It was a dialog of Charmides that I haven't read(!). Γυράσκω ἀεῖ διδασκόμενος ( I grow by learning always).

An absolutely fascinating tour of Jarlshof, thank you very much! I'd love to go someday. Well done on putting together such an entertaining and informative video in presumably such a short visit to the site.
The best dog I ever had was a sheltie. He was a true natural mediator, every fight or argument my family would get into he would never shy away from putting himself in the middle and calming everyone down. Rest in peace Jack.
Grand to see you in Lerwick of all places. A whole world unto itself. The howling of the ancient sea never quite letting up no matter how far inland you go. A mysterious call echoes in the core of us, each and all (be we Gael, Saxon, or Norse), a call seeming to come the ends of the earth -- yet deep in the soil. Roots call to roots, in such places. Hope to live on Shetland or the Orkneys part of the year, some day, myself. Lovely series, looks like a lot of work well done. Aubrey Manning did a lovely documentary back in the early 2000s about the brochs. Seldom mentioned these days by the BBC, so keep it up!
I am so enjoying this Tom. Thank you for taking us along and teaching us our history. The more we know about our history, the more we will fight to preserve it. Here in America, that seems to be lost. No one has a connection to their past which makes it easy to let it go and be overtaken. Cant wait for the next episode.
Also as someone who livere in Shetland find below some old words still used in local dialect today. Spaigee ( spay gee) - the muscle sorness you get the next day after a workout. Peerie - small Smooriken - kiss Mirie dancers - northern lights. Their is many more these are jusy my favourites.

Man there is something about this part of the world that no where else I’ve seen has. Difficult to put into words but it all just makes you want to hunker down and sleep a dreamless sort of sleep. Just close your eyes and smile.
Very well put. I have a fantasy of living in a cottage on Shetland on the North Sea, drinking whiskey and listing to bagpipe music during an enormous storm
Dude, honor the elders, bro. How, dude? Dude, by destroying and disregarding everything they built, bro. Dude, like, that's how you do it, bro. Valhalla, bro.
The way to do it today would be by enlisting in your country's military then maybe selling your military skills to a mercenary group. If Varg was genuine about the whole Norse pagan thing he would have his male children in the French Military they dont have to fight the wars of that nation but they can use their citizenship to get trained to then sell their military skill to whoever they see aligns with their ideals.

I got chatting to an Argie girl in a pub during Euro football final. Obviously she was supporting Spain. Immediately started going on about colonialism. Talk about a turn off. I was like you can fckn talk, what about Spain! Dismissed
Argentina literally exists thanks to Spanish colonialism. I used to live in Spain. They do have quite an amnesia about their own colonialism. That hypocrisy extends to their white European colonists such as in Argentina. Their whole national psyche is to always whinge and blame Anglo-Saxon colonialism ... for everything bad - as if they never partook in this whole colonialism thing. They do have bit of an obsession with England I would say.
@leod-sigefast So many antifa types. My city suddenly got an influx of Spaniards a few years back. Out of nowhere it seemed. They're all extreme leftists doing cringe Graffiti everywhere
Really enjoyed the video. Would love to visit someday now - despite the unfortunate imports, Shetland seems to have retained much of its heritage and charm.
That’s because it started in Europe (specifically Germany) and traveled outwards to become dominant as everyone wanted to emulate Europe. It’s native to Europe as part of larger modernist movements and became prominent after the World Wars destroyed all the older stuff because it was easier to mass produce (all those details on traditional buildings are VERY expensive) and as part of the greater modernist movement to build a new idealized society more based in logic (form follows function). It has nothing to do with multiculturalism which came decades later. If you love your culture actually take the time to learn about it’s artistic and architectural history.
Any group would be overjoyed to have their ideas/religion/movement spread the way Boba tea has in recent years. Sometimes I go on Google maps and go to random places around the world and look up the closest Boba place. You’d be shocked how many tea shops there are around Athens. I like boba but man they’re more prevalent than Covid these days. Have you ever considered going to Iceland?
The argie cope over the Falklands is so funny, imagine taking stickers to the other side of the world with you so you can vandalise a phone box with a delusional cope message on - very sad and tragic!
never understood why nobody linked those carved stones to simply shotput or stone throwing games with the designs being carved on overtime for either luck or grip.
You might think that the Shetlands are so out of the way during the bronze age that you wouldn't need that many weapons. I wonder how many sea raiders there were around back then.
@@Survivethejive True but I didn't think the population density was so high that it would cause that much internal strife such that they'd require their own regular production of weapons. Maybe it had something to do with the deterioration of the soil/expansion of bogs leading to more competition.

thanks Tom. Excellent videos. Thanks for making them
It was 5:30 in the morning and I'm laughing aloud at you coming across the unusual flags and asking the elderly couple if they know of the flags. 😂
It's refreshing that none of them recognized any of the flags, but depressing that even the Shetland Islands are infected with the virus.
