    I am Icelandic. I speak Icelandic, A.K.A. Old Norse. It's stayed mostly the same isolated on an island since Icelands settlement in 875(+-15 years).
    I don't know if they gave us the word or we them. But the word "Verangur" we still have.
    "Að vera í verangri." Means to be on a journey with a purpose(like a quest)
    The word Veröld means world and has the same base.
    Also "Að vera í Víking": To be in Viking. Means to be viking-ing, a verb.
    Both verangur and víking can be verbs. Like Jumping/Jumper.

    This show was personally interesting to me for a very particular reason. My earliest recorded ancestor was one of those Norman proto-knights under William the Conqueror. At Hastings, he apparently was responsible for removing William’s damaged face guard, which was hampering his ability to breathe. For this deed, he was given the name Ayre (air) and made a minor noble of some sort.

    The thing about replacing Napoleon with Alexander the greats army made me think of the Swedish 17th century tactic called "gå på" (go on).
    They used that lull in the fire to close on the enemy and turn to a fierce melee combat.
    That led to the swedes beating much bigger forces with equal equipment.

    This is literally the plot of a manga/anime called 'Drifters'. Famous historic war participants are snatched up at the moment of death on the battlefield and thrown in a new land to fight against each other via 2 factions. Oda Nobunaga, Hannibal, Scipio, Joan of Arc, Tamon Yamaguchi from wwII japanese navy (and he has his aircraft carrier the Hiryū), Gilles de Rais, Hitler was present but died (again) before the story really starts. Quite a few japanese warriors, obviously. I loved it..
    But anyway...if anyone is into niche japanese comics/animation about warriors from different time periods commanding armies and going at it.. Well there you go, lol..

    I remember reading a SF novel a long time ago about a bunch of modern multi-national astronauts that get transported back in time to ancient India (I don't remember the date), also Alexander the great and Ghenghis Khan are there! The astronauts break up to 2 factions: one helping Alexander and the other helping Genghis Khan. I won't spoil more and unfortunately I don't remember the novel's name or the author for that matter. That was one hell of a read!

    Please release "The Mystery of Northern Goldstar Flight 1015" from your cameo on The Twilight Zone as a full length podcast. It was the best part of that episode and the world needs that podcast!
