    Hail the old gods. They were not forgotten. So this way of life seems more natural to me than what we do today. I actually envy those in the past. Life seemed to have more purpose back then

      Yes, that's certainly exactly how "their ancestors" looked and lived; Historians in particular can enthusiastically confirm this.

      ​@@abdulrazik5902 Vikings didn't commonly drink from drinking horns.
      The word "skål" as we use as "cheers", literally meaning "bowl" comes from the tradition where a bowl of alcohol, typically mead and beer, was passed around and shared.
      Far too many people today have a romanticized idea of Vikings. In reality, they were not much different from the Anglo-Saxons of Britain.

      @@ranjeetkumarsingh4752 you mean the band? I dont think so. I think they are christians since hungarian paganism basically disappeared in early medieval period. Not like scandinavian, hellenic or slavic paganism where christians wrote down at least some stuff that they can use to reconstruct the original mitology. We hungarians know almost nothing about our old religion.

      Hi! ua-cam.com/video/2vlATe0EHPc/v-deo.html
      Wikipedia: Stella Splendens ("Splendid Star") is a polyphonic song (fol. 21v-22), with two parts voices from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, one of the oldest extant medieval manuscripts containing music. In modern times it has been recorded by many artists:

      If you were to trust testimonies like that, then you'd also believe that it was customary for Russian men to beat their wives, and the severity of the beatings depended on how much they loved their wives, to the point where if a man loved his wife very much, then he would beat her to death. According to Leonhard Rauwolf.
      However, stories like these were just made up by visitors out of xenophobia. Ahmad ibn Fadlan was a xenophobe, as was Leonhard Rauwolf.

      @@Thor.Jorgensen No, comparing an objective chronicler who met another people for the first time in the 10th century to another one who lived in the 16th century and knew perfectly well the people who he described and hated them with passion is not the brightest idea, Rauwolf is clearly an example of xenophobe but ibn Ffadlan is a valuable and authentic source valued by academy.

    Nice for those who like it, terrible for anyone knowledgeable in such historical areas. It no longer has anything to do with the early Middle Ages or the Vikings (as we call the Nordic peoples today). It's just a wild mishmash of horrible pieces of clothing and armor thrown together from a variety of times and places, with a lot of imagination added. The whole thing seems more like LARP. But it has nothing at all to do with Nordic cultures and the early Middle Ages. It's far better than the depiction of the dirty and colorless Middle Ages (who wants to spend their time there in the dirt and pay for it?) but unfortunately it's still really terrible. In our time it is completely impossible to imagine yourself in this time. Because how are we supposed to know what it was like back then, what people looked like back then, how they behaved, what these countries actually looked like and what their languages and dialects really were without actually having experienced those times? The vast majority of people always tend to judge earlier times (such as the Middle Ages or the Stone Age) very much based on their current circumstances and their current society. However, from the sources we have (which - apart from the digital bookstores, are almost nowhere to be found in the media) we know that it was a completely different and a really stranger but also more impressive world than most people believe today. Often, with all the clichés our heads are filled with, we basically imagine “modern people” in these terribly uneducated, backward, dangerous, dirty and colorless times.
    The period after the 30 Years' War did not look particularly good for many parts of Europe. And the sources about the dirty, colorless Middle Ages, plagued by famine and disease, come from precisely those times when there were many famines, illnesses and in some places unsightly conditions, when people actually became a little smaller. Unfortunately, such sources are still often used in school textbooks today. However, if you look at original images and, above all, written sources that come from the Middle Ages (not modern times), you realize that it was quite the opposite. Of course, there will always be misinformation and of course the times in the Middle Ages were not exactly the best times (especially when it came to medicine, which was also much more advanced than we think), in which most people would really want to live permanently, but by far not the way we imagine it and how we are taught.
