As a Norwegian from Hafrsfjord ( important place in Norwegian Norse history) it’s insane to hear “dubbed” Norwegians and its so wonderful to see that our cultural heritage and history is interesting for others in other countries 😍
I was born and raised in California, but my family is from Gothenburg, Sweden. I am so interested in my heritage; a heritage that has been pushed out of popular culture here since many Scandinavians immigrated here in the early 1900's. The more I know about the early vikings the more I can push out my chest in pride of the blood that runs in my veins!

The GREATEST problem by far for future generations is that no one is being taught to read script (handwriting). I can read a handwritten letter upside down at speed. Not teaching THAT is going to make future research very difficult.
When I taught my kids cursive the teacher forbade them to write it. As the other kids wouldn’t be able to read it. 😢 Stupid argument. So any extra skill is unwanted. And they can’t decipher the handwriting of the grownup generation. 😢

When talking about the German swords found in Viking graves around 1:16:00, isn’t it possible that these swords weren’t given to or bought by the Vikings in Germany as that was illegal but instead the Vikings took them from the dead bodies of opposing warriors with whom they were im battle?
I was interested to see this because in two months it will be the year anniversary of my husband's death. I want to use some of his ashes and throw him a proper Viking funeral. (On a miniature scale. Miniature boat and small amount of ashes, floating down the creek, on fire. I can't shoot a flaming arrow. Or any arrow.) He LOVED Vikings and I love Norway so it works well. ❤️
Sorry for your loss but sounds beautiful all you need is a drummer to drum him out while singing Helvegan. He may not have been a king of chief but Im sure he is more than worthy and will be looking down pleased. Do take care of yourself sister .
Thank you everyone. No one will ever love me again like he loved me. I wasn't there for him when he needed me. But I prepared his body, and ever since he died I have done everything I possibly can to make amends for everything I've done wrong. I have so many regrets but he deserves the best. He was my Viking chief. He always will be. And he was an amazing death metal musician/guitarist/composer, so I absolutely have a drum to use. I've done my due diligence. I just wish everyone could know how special he is.
This is a very good topic to talk about. But you repeat the same story over and over again. The footage you use is good, but reshooting it until I know it by heart is not good practice. Good historical facts but poorly edited. Sorry very bad. Bear Væringi
There was another video of similar Viking content. Part of the video was dedicated to the findings of 2 or 3 female, French historians that went further in discussing JUST what it was that actually 'pushed' the vikings out if their original homelands and forced then in a lifetime of warring and pillaging. Something was driving them out of their Scandinavian homelands.
It was the climate. I can't remember which videos state it, many do actually, but it was getting colder and their farmland was unworkable. They had to migrate or starve.
Also the STRESS that is caused on them with the high intensity of fighting day in day out CHANGES a humans views concepts action and reactions to the rest of the world. There is no way really to know what they felt but they must have been a force to be reckoned with
Only 27 mins. into this video and my danish nerve is bursting! Fenris was a wolf, not a dog! The Valkyries didn't rule Valhal, they helped the fallen warriors to Valhalla. A lot of information has changed just over the last 5yrs, that this video is filled with much religious nonsense that many still believes.
Great video. I'm aware that the Viking age was technically from 793 - 1066CE, but personally I consider the Vendel era part of the Viking age. When you consider that we now know Swedish Vikingar were raiding in Eastern Europe and Russia at least as far back as the 740s - 750s. The Danes were raiding Frisia and other places during the Vendel era. Norsemen of every kind were traveling, trading and raiding all over Europe centuries before the "Viking age".
Vikings were descendants of royal blood Dacian warriors who were defeated by Romans under Trajan’s rule in 104 AD and retreated in great number from their original ancestor land Dacia towards North Eastern Europe! Danemark was named Dacia actually during Middle Ages
@@hilti4632 where are you getting this information? The Norse were an amalgamation of Germanic tribes that inhabited northern Europe for thousands of years. There's a bog body from the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland, Denmark) that dates to 8,000 years ago. Also, Cimbria is the ancient name for Denmark. The Dacians were a separate people from around what is today the Carpathian mountains. If you're referring to the Goths you've got it backwards. Historians think the Goths may have come from Gotland(Largest island of Sweden) or possibly even Götaland(kingdom in southern Sweden). Gotland and Götaland both mean 'Land of the Goths'.
When I was in Oslo, I visited the Ships Museum and stood beside the Gokstad and the Oseberg. Both of them were magical. The carvings were mesmerizing. To think they were from the 9th century. Makes me wonder about the men who sailed them and all of the places they went.
@@gomnes246They raped women and murdered defenseless farmers and plundered churches. They often went after soft targets to avoid direct combat with defensive forces that could actually fight back. It wasn't all valiant and courageous.
@@sugewhitejacoby8654 "Half" of our basic words in Scandinavia ( three very similar languages ) are still (very) similar to their English counterparts, and there are many grammatical similarities as well, so learning English is fairly easy for us Scandinavians - as if we by magic already "know" a lot of the basics of English in advance and "just" need to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles - for instance the use of "do" and "-ing" with verbs. Check out the brilliant video from Langfocus called "Viking Influence on the English Language" to see how much the complicated and highly inflected West Germanic Old English was changed through this long lasting contact with the closely related North Germanic Old Norse in the Danelaw region in the North and the East of England. Hav en god dag [day(gh)], min [meen] frænd{e} 😉
what they were were master shipbulders and bold sailors...that lapstrake design is still used in lifeboats today...their ships were so flexible they almost seemed alive in the open sea...yet easily capable of traversing shallow rivers...a technological leap the world had never seen before...no wonder they were caught by surprise....
Vikings discovered high carbon steel by using bones in the forge. This created superior steel that could destroy enemies weapons and armor. It took another 300-500 years for the world to get high carbon steel. When they caught up technologically, the viking age ended.
I’ve never read any specific Christian or New Testament references in the Epic of Beowulf. What I did see were references to the Old Testament and the God of Abraham. But nowhere is there written anything about Jesus or the apostles. I have my own theories as to why but have never heard anyone talk about this.
Yep, many people don’t realize that Vikings weren’t a race, location or anything like that. It came from the term “to go Viking”. Or the act of seaborne raiding or adventuring. Basically a seaborne raider would go out and raid by sea. So many people from Scandinavia didn’t do that. So they weren’t “Vikings” in the way people think of. I’m obsessed with Scandinavian and Old Norse history. I’ve been studying for years now.
I'm not the kind of guy that likes to nitpick, but at 27:28 it says that Thor was Odin's brother... that is a huge mistake, since Thor is actually Odin's son ! Get your mythological facts right will ya! 😅
It's NEVER too late. I foughtagainst being a historian for many years.,I have now made my living as a professional historian for over four decades. A true Historian is born and not made. I wish to GOD I never listened to anyone on my final decision. Ironically, nowadays,being a Historian is a VERY lucrative job.
I've never understood how so many high school history teachers make history so boring. I didn't like history in high school, it was all dates, name and places. If you could memorize, you could get all A's, but you didn't learn much. I learned more about history in literature classes where they would teach you about the writers and what was going in the world that affected their writing.
@@lucindahumphries4702 I am a professional historian, and I am SORRY that most people experience history that way. I read original letters and diaries from eye witnesses for my living, and to me, history is a living, breathing thing. Most of real history is composed of average people getting on with their lives. Now understand me:Dates are VERY important, because they allow you to see the BIGGER picture, in that you see what is going on in different places at the same time, or in sequence, showing how one event lead to another. Example: If your lover cheats on you on a Thursday and you catch him, and you hit the crap out of him with a frying pan on Friday, what haqppened when is important. Oddly enough, I taught college, so I am amused in that I cannot recall EVER asking any of my students forthe date of ANY event. In university history, we ask you to comment on the BIGGER picture. For your sake, it is better for you to know the dates BEFORE you take the test, because we ask you to explain a larger event, and the dates help you to put your argument together.
I’m a bit pissed. Not once does this show point out directly that Vikings were called Danes back in their day regardless of if they were Danes Norwegian or Swedish and that Vikings is never used in historical text and is a very very modern term and that viking is to ‘Go Raiding’. So a Dane would go viking. So Ulthbert a farmer comes home one day and says “The Jarl has said we are going viking this summer so you’ll have to look after the farm.” Also the guy who showed old sword billets said that it was a production line in the houses making swords with the different stages done by different people. He then says “ they melted the iron”. Well that’s just a lie as the Europeans couldn’t melt iron for another 800 or way more years depending on what time the swords making was referred to. Danes like all Europeans collected natural iron like bog iron and iron ore and put that in a blumery furnace for a day to turn the ore back to iron but it never even near melts. Then these little chunks and pieces are heated and gently hammered together. Forge welding the pieces and slag and other crap into a billet. The more it is hammered the more impurities are beaten out unfortunately carbon is also beaten out at the same time but slag inclusions make a sword very weak so it’s a balance. Danes did import real steel ingots as in carbon steel that’s been fully melted. These ingots came from India and whatever the place Saladin lived was called. This was true steel, real carbon steel capable of being hardened and sharpened to a razor and holding that edge way longer. It’s what a general person today thinks of iron or steel today. No one makes iron these days and smiths have to find old scrap iron especially in England who hasn’t made iron in decades, it’s all steel. The reason the Danes were so hard up on making twisted forged welded blades is that it raises the average quality of the blade. If you have iron or low low carbon steel of quality 1 2 and 3 then forging them together straight gives you a billet with an overall quality of 1. All the good metal is wasted and brought down to the lowest common denominator. But if that bar is then heated and twisted and hammer forged welded flat into a new bar then that bar is now grade 2 an average of the 3 original billets. Also the only known true steel Dane made swords are the UTHBERT swords which were made and named on the blade with steel carved out and then steel letters dropped in and hammer forge welded in place. I think 125 UTHBERT swords have been found as identified by the named blade but only about 80 are true UTHBERTs made from fully melted crucible steel that MUST have been imported from India or Salidins home land. This was microscope tested to check the steel types. Truely named Damascus steel blades are a crucible steel but not all crucible steel is Damascus steel. Damascus steel is not steel patterned by forge welding different steel together and then twisting or bending that into patterns and making something out of that. That is called Pattern Welded Steel or iron back before steel. Truely named Damascus Steel Such as What Saladin and his army had is crucible steel that the ore had a certain chemical composition and then the ingot was processed in a certain way to have layer upon layer of carbide spheroids in sheets in the steel carbides are about the hardest things known. So not even similar.
2:55:20 Did those Vikings really have paragliders? Silk ones, like their expensive ships' sail? If they knew how to make them, they could have FLOWN! It's just a very smart sail, after all.
Thank you so much for sharing this huge series for free! I've learned more about the Vikings on this channel more than any other source I've seen on UA-cam so far!
Throwing dead things into a well has been a way of poisoning it. Is sounds more like a way of destroying a settlement by throwing two of the settlement’s children into the well as an insult and long term destruction ploy.
@@ConstantineofRome I’m not sure I understand your comment. The Grand Duchy of Moscow sacrificed children to the well, or used that to poison the well?
And common guys, for nearly entire series you keep placing Wolin (Jomsborg) in the same place as Truso. The former was located at the banks of Odra River, and the latter at the banks of Nogat, delta branch of the Wisła (Vistula) River. These two places are almost four hundred kilometers apart..
There was no Russia during Viking period. It was Kievan Rus'. And Rus' was called because of Rurik (viking's ruler in slavic country). Rurik was rus' and then hall slavic country was named Kievan Rus'.
My understanding is that the commonly agreed explanation for the etymology of Rus is a reference to Swedes from Roslagen (Rosar in swedish). Roslagen has its origin from the words for rowing (rod today but roðr then, kind of pronounced rothr) and a word for a kind of administrative division of people who could man ships during war called a skeppslag (directly translated as shipping team). The old name for roslagen was roþin, again roughly rothin but a softer th-sound (voiceless) which could easy turn in to a soft s sound. The finnic word for swedes is Ruotsi, or rowers. The swedish "o" sounds more like a slavic "u" so translating their spoken sound to words, natives of that region would have written it Rus!
The church conquered All of Europe. We were all Pagan at a time. Northern Europe was just the last to be converted. Baltics were the very last. In the 13th century.
I enjoy watching these documentaries about the Norse people. They always mention Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. What about Finland? Finland is never mentioned at all!
Pretty surprising as, here in the US, ever since the Finns held off the Russians single-handedly in the Winter War, they are seen as half, “super-Viking,” half, perfect warrior….
Finns are NOT Scandinavians. They are related to Magyars, Estonians and Sami’s language family and are called Finno- Urics. The Finnish language is very different from the North Germanic Language of the Norse peoples.
In your video regarding runes, it seems that Karl Staffan Dahlberg, is my 23rd cousin twice removed, thru Geni. What a delightful discovery! 🙂We are both descendants of Valemar l, King of Sweden.
Something that stands out to me and your chronicles brings it to my attention is the Dragon and it's importance. My brother Rip and my best friend both had Dragon tattoos. If I had a tattoo, it would be a Dragon. The Dragon is one of the most common figures in history. The meaning is obviously very deep and carries a rich tradition in culture. Thank you for sharing this educational material and elaborating on the details.

All i'm saying is that Sweden gets no credits for viking history because they sailed east to Russia and Turkey while Denmark and Norway gets all the hype for sailing west 😉 In my opinion Denmark and Sweden has both a rich norse culture and Norway has less culture but went to the right places at the right time in history.
Conquered normandy, created Russia , the uk, belrus, etc and went to the Mediterranean Took over sicily, most of italy and then began crusading in the middle east. After 1291 they became bankers and freemasons

Miniature boat and small amount of ashes, floating down the creek, on fire. I can't shoot a flaming arrow. Or any arrow.) He LOVED Vikings and I love Norway so it works well. ❤️
Sry for ur loss
Sorry for your loss but sounds beautiful all you need is a drummer to drum him out while singing Helvegan. He may not have been a king of chief but Im sure he is more than worthy and will be looking down pleased. Do take care of yourself sister .
cool. just don't sacrifice a maiden to go with him. maybe a tiny snippet of your hair?
Thank you everyone. No one will ever love me again like he loved me. I wasn't there for him when he needed me. But I prepared his body, and ever since he died I have done everything I possibly can to make amends for everything I've done wrong. I have so many regrets but he deserves the best. He was my Viking chief. He always will be. And he was an amazing death metal musician/guitarist/composer, so I absolutely have a drum to use. I've done my due diligence. I just wish everyone could know how special he is.

This is a very good topic to talk about. But you repeat the same story over and over again. The footage you use is good, but reshooting it until I know it by heart is not good practice. Good historical facts but poorly edited. Sorry very bad. Bear Væringi
There was another video of similar Viking content. Part of the video was dedicated to the findings of 2 or 3 female, French historians that went further in discussing JUST what it was that actually 'pushed' the vikings out if their original homelands and forced then in a lifetime of warring and pillaging. Something was driving them out of their Scandinavian homelands.
It was the climate. I can't remember which videos state it, many do actually, but it was getting colder and their farmland was unworkable. They had to migrate or starve.
Re enacting is far from the reality back then.... Ruthless and deadly to anyone unfortunate to cross paths with a viking raid....☠️☠️
Also the STRESS that is caused on them with the high intensity of fighting day in day out CHANGES a humans views concepts action and reactions to the rest of the world. There is no way really to know what they felt but they must have been a force to be reckoned with

Only 27 mins. into this video and my danish nerve is bursting! Fenris was a wolf, not a dog! The Valkyries didn't rule Valhal, they helped the fallen warriors to Valhalla. A lot of information has changed just over the last 5yrs, that this video is filled with much religious nonsense that many still believes.
Great video. I'm aware that the Viking age was technically from 793 - 1066CE, but personally I consider the Vendel era part of the Viking age. When you consider that we now know Swedish Vikingar were raiding in Eastern Europe and Russia at least as far back as the 740s - 750s. The Danes were raiding Frisia and other places during the Vendel era. Norsemen of every kind were traveling, trading and raiding all over Europe centuries before the "Viking age".
Any up
@Moon Cricket Doesn't matter what you think.
Vikings were descendants of royal blood Dacian warriors who were defeated by Romans under Trajan’s rule in 104 AD and retreated in great number from their original ancestor land Dacia towards North Eastern Europe! Danemark was named Dacia actually during Middle Ages
@@hilti4632 where are you getting this information? The Norse were an amalgamation of Germanic tribes that inhabited northern Europe for thousands of years. There's a bog body from the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland, Denmark) that dates to 8,000 years ago. Also, Cimbria is the ancient name for Denmark. The Dacians were a separate people from around what is today the Carpathian mountains. If you're referring to the Goths you've got it backwards. Historians think the Goths may have come from Gotland(Largest island of Sweden) or possibly even Götaland(kingdom in southern Sweden). Gotland and Götaland both mean 'Land of the Goths'.

When I was in Oslo, I visited the Ships Museum and stood beside the Gokstad and the Oseberg. Both of them were magical. The carvings were mesmerizing. To think they were from the 9th century. Makes me wonder about the men who sailed them and all of the places they went.

@@sugewhitejacoby8654 "Half" of our basic words in Scandinavia ( three very similar languages ) are still (very) similar to their English counterparts, and there are many grammatical similarities as well, so learning English is fairly easy for us Scandinavians - as if we by magic already "know" a lot of the basics of English in advance and "just" need to fill in the gaps and climb a few hurdles - for instance the use of "do" and "-ing" with verbs.
Check out the brilliant video from Langfocus called "Viking Influence on the English Language" to see how much the complicated and highly inflected West Germanic Old English was changed through this long lasting contact with the closely related North Germanic Old Norse in the Danelaw region in the North and the East of England.

Wonderful. A non-false, non-clickbait, non-dramatic, non-moralizing history of the Vikings. ;)
"Odin and his brother Thor" pretty sure Thor was Odin's son... Overall though, I'm always impressed by viking history. They really were pioneers.
Tonger is the son of Wodan and Fjorgyn
I use the old Frisian names Because I don't know the modern English names
what they were were master shipbulders and bold sailors...that lapstrake design is still used in lifeboats today...their ships were so flexible they almost seemed alive in the open sea...yet easily capable of traversing shallow rivers...a technological leap the world had never seen before...no wonder they were caught by surprise....

The Vikings actually discovered the new world, 500 years BEFORE Columbus!
And 500 years after they still living of the new world
And immediately scrapping with the skraelings
I’ve been to the Oslo museum. It’s truly breathtaking
Anyone know when this documentary first came out? How old is it? Thanks all.
Vikings discovered high carbon steel by using bones in the forge. This created superior steel that could destroy enemies weapons and armor. It took another 300-500 years for the world to get high carbon steel. When they caught up technologically, the viking age ended.
I’ve been to the Oslo museum. It’s truly breathtaking
I’ve never read any specific Christian or New Testament references in the Epic of Beowulf. What I did see were references to the Old Testament and the God of Abraham. But nowhere is there written anything about Jesus or the apostles. I have my own theories as to why but have never heard anyone talk about this.
It recently occurred to me that the word "viking" isn't a race or a location. It's an occupation. :)
It's a way of life!
Yep, many people don’t realize that Vikings weren’t a race, location or anything like that. It came from the term “to go Viking”. Or the act of seaborne raiding or adventuring. Basically a seaborne raider would go out and raid by sea. So many people from Scandinavia didn’t do that. So they weren’t “Vikings” in the way people think of. I’m obsessed with Scandinavian and Old Norse history. I’ve been studying for years now.
Most documentaries mention that fact
I thought it was common knowledge that it was an occupation. You really do learn something new everyday and Viking is also a title FYI 😊
I fucking wish the rest of the world would do so.
Very good and meaningful video, great video 🥰
I'm not the kind of guy that likes to nitpick, but at 27:28 it says that Thor was Odin's brother... that is a huge mistake, since Thor is actually Odin's son ! Get your mythological facts right will ya! 😅
Then pick no nits!
Thank you for this video
This is so amazing! I wish I would have pursued a degree in History/Archeology.
It’s never too late
It's NEVER too late. I foughtagainst being a historian for many years.,I have now made my living as a professional historian for over four decades. A true Historian is born and not made. I wish to GOD I never listened to anyone on my final decision. Ironically, nowadays,being a Historian is a VERY lucrative job.
I've never understood how so many high school history teachers make history so boring. I didn't like history in high school, it was all dates, name and places. If you could memorize, you could get all A's, but you didn't learn much. I learned more about history in literature classes where they would teach you about the writers and what was going in the world that affected their writing.
@@lucindahumphries4702 I am a professional historian, and I am SORRY that most people experience history that way. I read original letters and diaries from eye witnesses for my living, and to me, history is a living, breathing thing. Most of real history is composed of average people getting on with their lives.
Now understand me:Dates are VERY important, because they allow you to see the BIGGER picture, in that you see what is going on in different places at the same time, or in sequence, showing how one event lead to another.
Example: If your lover cheats on you on a Thursday and you catch him, and you hit the crap out of him with a frying pan on Friday, what haqppened when is important.
Oddly enough, I taught college, so I am amused in that I cannot recall EVER asking any of my students forthe date of ANY event. In university history, we ask you to comment on the BIGGER picture.
For your sake, it is better for you to know the dates BEFORE you take the test, because we ask you to explain a larger event, and the dates help you to put your argument together.

Omg they have Kia from Heilung on here explaining viking tattoos! Heilung f-n rules

actually scarier-looking then those fake horned ones.....
“It can pull back the shield, let me show you” /pulls shield. Bonk.
I’m a bit pissed. Not once does this show point out directly that Vikings were called Danes back in their day regardless of if they were Danes Norwegian or Swedish and that Vikings is never used in historical text and is a very very modern term and that viking is to ‘Go Raiding’. So a Dane would go viking. So Ulthbert a farmer comes home one day and says “The Jarl has said we are going viking this summer so you’ll have to look after the farm.”
Also the guy who showed old sword billets said that it was a production line in the houses making swords with the different stages done by different people. He then says “ they melted the iron”. Well that’s just a lie as the Europeans couldn’t melt iron for another 800 or way more years depending on what time the swords making was referred to. Danes like all Europeans collected natural iron like bog iron and iron ore and put that in a blumery furnace for a day to turn the ore back to iron but it never even near melts. Then these little chunks and pieces are heated and gently hammered together. Forge welding the pieces and slag and other crap into a billet. The more it is hammered the more impurities are beaten out unfortunately carbon is also beaten out at the same time but slag inclusions make a sword very weak so it’s a balance. Danes did import real steel ingots as in carbon steel that’s been fully melted. These ingots came from India and whatever the place Saladin lived was called. This was true steel, real carbon steel capable of being hardened and sharpened to a razor and holding that edge way longer. It’s what a general person today thinks of iron or steel today. No one makes iron these days and smiths have to find old scrap iron especially in England who hasn’t made iron in decades, it’s all steel.
The reason the Danes were so hard up on making twisted forged welded blades is that it raises the average quality of the blade. If you have iron or low low carbon steel of quality 1 2 and 3 then forging them together straight gives you a billet with an overall quality of 1. All the good metal is wasted and brought down to the lowest common denominator. But if that bar is then heated and twisted and hammer forged welded flat into a new bar then that bar is now grade 2 an average of the 3 original billets. Also the only known true steel Dane made swords are the UTHBERT swords which were made and named on the blade with steel carved out and then steel letters dropped in and hammer forge welded in place. I think 125 UTHBERT swords have been found as identified by the named blade but only about 80 are true UTHBERTs made from fully melted crucible steel that MUST have been imported from India or Salidins home land. This was microscope tested to check the steel types.
Truely named Damascus steel blades are a crucible steel but not all crucible steel is Damascus steel. Damascus steel is not steel patterned by forge welding different steel together and then twisting or bending that into patterns and making something out of that. That is called Pattern Welded Steel or iron back before steel. Truely named Damascus Steel Such as What Saladin and his army had is crucible steel that the ore had a certain chemical composition and then the ingot was processed in a certain way to have layer upon layer of carbide spheroids in sheets in the steel carbides are about the hardest things known. So not even similar.

Very nice sharing❤❤❤❤❤❤
There was no Russia during Viking period. It was Kievan Rus'. And Rus' was called because of Rurik (viking's ruler in slavic country). Rurik was rus' and then hall slavic country was named Kievan Rus'.
My understanding is that the commonly agreed explanation for the etymology of Rus is a reference to Swedes from Roslagen (Rosar in swedish). Roslagen has its origin from the words for rowing (rod today but roðr then, kind of pronounced rothr) and a word for a kind of administrative division of people who could man ships during war called a skeppslag (directly translated as shipping team). The old name for roslagen was roþin, again roughly rothin but a softer th-sound (voiceless) which could easy turn in to a soft s sound. The finnic word for swedes is Ruotsi, or rowers. The swedish "o" sounds more like a slavic "u" so translating their spoken sound to words, natives of that region would have written it Rus!

I enjoy watching these documentaries about the Norse people. They always mention Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. What about Finland? Finland is never mentioned at all!
Probably some of they were, but Finns is from East Asia, thats why why our language differs i guess
Pretty surprising as, here in the US, ever since the Finns held off the Russians single-handedly in the Winter War, they are seen as half, “super-Viking,” half, perfect warrior….
Finns are NOT Scandinavians. They are related to Magyars, Estonians and Sami’s language family and are called Finno- Urics. The Finnish language is very different from the North Germanic Language of the Norse peoples.

Did the Vikings fall? Or did the Vikings assimilate?
The Vikings became respectable, and turned into Scandinavians. They're alive, well, and in NATO (or are about to be).
Conquered normandy, created Russia , the uk, belrus, etc and went to the Mediterranean
Took over sicily, most of italy and then began crusading in the middle east. After 1291 they became bankers and freemasons
Assimilated... adopting christianity marked the end of "VIKING ERA"
Technically we're still here, just stopped all the raiding stuff and settled down.
