    It's been a while since I made a historical tour so here's an hour long one on the Viking World at the beginning of the Eleventh Century! Don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed the vid and let me know the comments what tours you'd like to see in the future in a similar style!

      Already liked, all ready subscribed. Excellent video. I consume every little snippet of the history of my Viking ancestors that I can find. My last name is Barney, the Anglicized version of Bjarni. Perhaps I'm a descendant of Bjarni himself.

      PLEASE DO A FEW VIDEOS ABOUT MESO-AMERICA! Olmec, Neolithic tribes of north and South America old and modern ones. (Native americans, Amazonian tribes, Incan empire, Mayans, Aztec, Mississippi culture, Anasazi, etc. Mayan history goes back to 2000 bce at some settlements. A lot of which coincides with history you’ve already covered. Would be awesome to see it covered by you!!

      @world leader Ok lets break this down. Viking is an occupation, NOT the term for all the Nordic region. There were Vikings all over the world, because if you traveled to trade, pillaging, etc, then you're a Viking.
      Keep in mind that OP used the term Norsemen and not Vikings. You assumed I was talking about Vikings, which I wasn't at all, but I don't blame the assumption.
      The Norsemen weren't all Vikings, because most of the population were farmers and traders that stayed within their homeland and cared for their people. Majority of the population during the Viking Age WEREN'T VIKINGS. They were farmers and traders.
      Now were the Vikings we understand from TV Shows and some historical texts like Adam of Bremen and Tacitus' Germania seen as killers - absolutely. But were all people during the Viking Age killers and rapists - absolutely not. The Vikings aren't to be glorified, because obviously there were many atrocities they committed. But to broad stroke the Nordic/Germanic peoples during the Viking Age as rapists, and to say that I was glorifying them, is extraordinarily off base.

    Hey, loved it. I really like that that you decided to include the Baltic areas aswell and mention Saaremaa's burials. It really gets buried and people don't really think of Estonians as vikings. New findings actually have given us more viking age treausres from Läänemaa (western coast of Estonia just to the east of Saaremaa) than from Saaremaa. The cultural mix is so insane for that time, even more than nowadays. Archeologists also point out that they cannot differenciate between Scandinavian findings and stuff from Saaremaa.

There was the Holy Roman Empire, Italian, Flemish, Dutch, Saxons, Friesians, Bavarians, Austrians, Hungarians...where are the Germans? There was not a Germany until 1870.

      I was expecting Jomsborg to be mentioned but unlike nearly any other element of this video, I didn't expect that much about the first two rulers of Poland and their Nordic connections.

      Why I was mentioned bronze age is that bin the Swedish province of Ostrogothe lots of women's are in graves probably married to local gothic mens. They women's are Slavic because they have with them special pottery and things that is only from polish areas. They Swedish Gothic tribe and Polen have in the iron age before christ also big connection and also migration we can se in graves the Wielbark culture and in Ostrogothi and westgothi in Sweden we see in graves from warriors connection with Polend.

    My family still has connections to our farm in the "Land of Warriors" Hadland Norway. Which is just north of Oslo. (My mother's cousin went there during WWII on a mission for the OSS, and met & married another cousin, and stayed. So we still go back to the family farm.) I can see where the strength comes from they had a harsh, sharsh existence during the cold ice age. So, after the lands warmed the population boomed. These subsistence farmers just survived during most of the year, they lived in a dark winter -- living off stored food, stored fats, and fasting. They had a couple months in the summer to make everything. It makes a person tough.

    38:54 Olaf had already forgotten. Imagine, when he went back to his home...What happened?? - Uhm...Nothing. Finland aka Finnmark aka Kvenland was not depopulated, it was hidden land (populated after ice age, ~9000 - 8500BC) with secret villages and surprises. Early Vikings were friends, they used inland waterways and also traded goods before currency. :)

    @39:50 "If you can't beat them, join them." - Who exactly couldn't beat whom, and who joined whom? As far as I know, the largest amount (was it per area or per population, I cannot recall) of the _genuine_ Ulfberht swords have been excavated in Finland. Did Finns (also) forge these blades, or were they all captured from the vikings?
    I hoped for at least a tad bit more explanation regarding the Finn/viking relationship/interaction. I know the vikings raided, or at least tried to raid the Finns for their fur. Yet, the Finns have practically no Scandinavian DNA in their blood. Genetically, the modern-day Swedes and Italians are closer to each other than Finns of the western and eastern part of Finland.
