      @@michaeldique They're Germanic gods, not specifically Norse. The likes of Odin and Thor being referred to as "Norse" is due to survivorship bias concerning written sources, which gets carried over into popular culture as "Viking". Even the the wider mythology is not specifically Norse but of a general Germanic mythology.
      Odin is called Odin by the Norse but to the Anglo-Saxons he was Woden, likewise Thor to the Germans was Donar. The same gods with slightly different names.

    In the mythology of Thor, it says nothing like that on Mjolnir, Thor is the only one who can wield Mjolnir, whatever Mjolnir strikes is destroyed, and it always returns to his hand. Thor also has red hair and a red beard. He also has a belt which multiplies his already prodigious strength and has a gauntlet on one hand, used to catch Mjolnir, because Mjolnir is superhot when it returns.

      I like that about the Norse religion. That their afterlife reflects their life- they are kind of realistic in that an afterlife with humans in it will have war and fighting until the doomsday destroys it all. They didn't imagine an afterlife in peace, no they knew themselves and it formed how they viewed the afterlife. The glory of fighting until there is nothing to fight. And their gods are like the people- flawed.
      Other religions (like the Abrahamic ones) often have an afterlife that is a reward or punishment, and their gods like their afterlives are either all good or all bad.

    You don't have to be worthy, and you can't get his powers if you have Mjöllnir. In real mythology, it is quite literally just very heavy. Anybody could theoretically lift it or use it, but only Þórr is strong enough to use it. A few have moved or stolen it, but couldn't use it. Similarly, many people can lift a 100-pound sword in real life, but very few, if anybody, can actually use it. Another thing to note is that if anybody else could use it, they would not have the best accuracy or control and would basically be burnt to dust with how hot it gets due to its strength in hitting things. When he throws the hammer to crush the skulls of invading Jötunn, the hammer becomes red hot. Þórr needs special iron gloves, Járngreipr, to handle the red hot hammer without burning himself because the hammer was sabotaged during its creation, leading to its impractically shortened handle. Additionally, he also wears a special belt of power, Megingjörð, which greatly increases his already monstrous strength, to help him better use Mjöllnir. He has and can use it without the two other possessions, but they help him more accurately throw it and use it more efficiently. Together, his hammer, belt, and gloves make up his three most important and most prominent possessions. The only other god capable of using Mjöllnir is his son Magni, who is actually much stronger than his father, who was previously the steongest god. I don't believe it is ever mentioned how he can use it, meaning if he needs the gloves and belt or not, but I would imagine he does not need them. His father just used them for convenience and better control. If he did have them, he would be even more terrifying. Both his sons inherit his possessions after his death and aid the remaining gods in rebuilding a new world

    an important thing to note about Norse mythology is that it was heavily influenced by Christian interpretation, this is why the god of mischief Loki has been made "evil" and compared to the Christian Satan. in fact, Loki's story is the most tragic of all. his first three children were imprisoned simply for being born differently (a wolf, a serpent, and a half-corpse daughter who rules the afterlife) and later on he had normal twin boys, one was turned into a wolf by the other gods and forced to devour the other, whose entrails were used to imprison Loki (he loves his son too much to destroy the last remaining part of him). Loki's story is very very sad and he's one of my favorite deities because of how deeply misunderstood and misrepresented he is.

    • @mels607
      @mels607 Місяць тому +10

      I should clarify the first three children were also imprisoned because of Odin's visions that they would one day help destroy the earth (Ragnarok) but they hadn't even done anything wrong yet and didn't deserve to be imprisoned. it's hard to say if his daughter Hel ruling the afterlife was a punishment or not, but I imagine if the gods had treated Loki's family better, they never would have tried to kill the gods later on. in my opinion, Ragnarok came about due to Odin's lack of foresight. he had infinite knowledge, but not necessarily the wisdom needed to use that knowledge, which is why the gods eventually fell. he could have made better choices regarding his blood-brother Loki and avoided Ragnarok altogether.

Then make a comparison between Indian and other versions. This could amaze them by how their roots are being converted into other cultures.

    Loki was indeed a complicated fellow. Balder, who was beauty incarnate, was also immune to death by any means but one plant, mistletoe. Nobody knew this, but Loki found out.
    Since Balder was immune to death, it was a common joke for the gods to impale him with spears or do things that should have killed him, but of course did not. One day Loki, having discovered Balder's secret weakness, crafted an arrow with a tip made of mistletoe and found the god, Hoder, a very strong but not very smart fellow, and convinced to shoot Balder with the arrow he had made...which killed Balder instantly.

    Something that isn’t talked about a lot is we don’t know much on hoe the Norse gods looked. They’re descriptions in the sagas are pretty vague, except for Odin because there’s alot of myths about him.
    Like Thor, for example. All we really know is that he had long red hair and a beard. But, from the sagas we can guess he has a beer gut from all the drinking and eating.
    That’s why Thor in God of War Ragnarok is probably the most accurate representation we have a Thor

      The term "Norse" doesn't exclusively refer to Norway. Norse culture originated from Scandinavia, encompassing Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. It later spread to regions where the Norse, often referred to as "the Vikings," settled, such as Iceland.
      In the video, there are some errors as well, with the most significant one being the distinction between "Freyja" and "Freya." In reality, these are merely different spelling variations of the same goddess. If we simplify the topic a bit we could consider these spelling differences as akin to dialectal variants, similar to how American English spells "color" while British English spells it "colour."

    What I liked:
    For a change to the better of this channel they were corrected about their errors and informed about the real facts right at the spot. Directly after they spoke about their guesses. That is a change for the better of this channel, because in the past the villagers were not corrected about their errors when they had to guess something and often went away at the end with a lot of weird, funny and wrong ideas about several history events etc without any further correcting information was given to them. That was always very frustrating to watch in the past. But it changed now for the better.
    Maybe even this channel is able to learn and to change for the better. Good.
    The first time for a long time span, that I give this channel a thumbs up again therefore.
    PS:
    Maybe you can show them documentaries about Zeppelins in the same manner...because some of the villagers didn't believe, that something like Zeppelins existed, after reacting to the famous "grail adventure" movie. They mistook the Zepplins for balloons and doubted, that this way of air travel was a part of reality.
    Would be nice to see them watching documentaries about the Hindenburg etc.
    What I disliked:
    The ever and ever repeating, same cheap, crappy background score, that sounded like a cheap rap theme from a USA-Ghetto movie about black rappers or something like that. Wasn't fitting to the theme of this video at all.

    Freyja and freya were the same image just 2 different versions.
    She is the reason English uses the word free and Friday - as the root of those words is freyja/freya in German.
    The song that was sung actually fits perfectly with this goddess as altho she is not free as the wind she is a goddess associated with becoming free or into truth (mortal death to final resting place of the spirit, free from obligations or work on Fridays to rest, and free to love and live in a way that’s beneficial to the individual alive.)
    Beauty and war is the double edged sword
    (in many northern countries such as Scandinavia or Ireland or even Germany etc as there was interaction and trade or wars between these countries - it’s historically known that women would have children and would name them, train them, and help them grow into adults, a women’s role early on was to train a child to farm/hunt/gather/understand weapons. Later when the child is fully grown the elder women/mothers would help with marriages of their children as well. But with love and war being so prominent it was often a combination of men and women fighting in early combat with pregnant and new mothers raising the children to continue to understand those concepts. A child who understands what parental love is love for their home and love for learning will also be taught how to defend that and do so without dying. Mothers teach their sons combat as the mothers are well versed in it themselves to the point the young boys become men and join the other adult men/women groups. Young girls were also taught these things but some of their obligations were also focused on becoming mothers themselves, tending to more nuanced tasks, or other aspects as well all vital and important to living daily life and long term survival.)
    The cats are specific, it’s not a house cat but a specific kind of Norwegian cat they are HUGE as large as a medium dog, they are hunters and protectors with fur designed to withstand the cold. While cats do well on boats and houses to eat rodents these cats could aid in hunting in fields or forests due to their size. They would also be used to keep a person warm on cold days especially gifted to women to keep them warm and safe.
    The birds and ravens were also an animal used by the Norse, they were kept on boats in cages and released into the wind. If the bird flew in a circle and landed back on the ship there was only water surrounding them, if the bird went off in the direction away from yhe boat the boat would follow as the bird had found land before the people could see it often leading the Norse to new locations. Seen as intelligent guides for those on boats and for those who waged war looking for new land to attack a raven was a symbol of navigation but also seen as a symbol of death as the ravens would arrive first shortly followed by boats of people who would start a war and pillage.

      Also, Loki didnt technically kill Baldr. Just orchestrated his death. On his birth, his mom made everything in the world swear to do no harm to him, everything but mistletoe, as it was so young and non threatening on its own. Loki knew this and took advantage.
      Because Baldr couldnt be killed, everyone took jabs at him, throwing whatever they could at him to prove his immortality. It became a game that even he enjoyed. Loki carved a spear out of mistletoe, and gave it to Baldrs blind brother, brain fart on his name, to throw. Of course, everyone laughed with glee thinking no harm would come, especially from the blind brother. But it went right through him, killing him. Baldrs mom went down to Hel to plead with the queen of the dead, same name, to let her son come back. She agreed on one condition: that EVERYTHING in the world must shed a tear for her boy. So...she got the tears from everyone...everyone but a giant who absolutely refused to shed a single tear for him.
      It was found out that giant was Loki in disguise, and a chase began after him for the chaos he caused. He ran and managed to escape to a river, transforming into a salmon. But the gods saw through his disguise and dragged him to a cave to be hung by his arms and have snakes venom eternally drip in eyes, save for when his wife held up a bowl to catch them.
      After that, Ragnorok begins.
      The real sad and interesting part of all of this is Odin is all knowing. He knew it was going to happen and let it happen because he knew the events of time were fixed and couldnt be changed. (And no, im not referrencing Dr Who lol..maybe norse mythology is where they got the idea from?).

      One more fun story i probably will do injustice to...pun intended lol...So this story is actually tragic and self prophesizing. Fenryr was the son of Loki, and also best friend of Tyr. Odin, who knew the future, knew that one day Fenryr would rise up against them during Ragnarok, and help defeat the Aesirs. He, like GoTs directors D&D suddenly forgot WHY he retaliated against the Aesirs, and secrety has smiths start working on chains to try and bound him forever. Secret from him. He makes it into a game with him, with the other gods, like with Baldr, challenging Fenryr to test his strength agaisnt each failing chain. Eventually, Fenryr caught on, and the last chain he was challenged with, he refused because of his suspicions. He said the only way they could put the chain on him was if his best friend, whom he trusted more than anyone, put his hand in Fenryrs mouth, to prove he would be freed if he couldnt break the chain. Tyr was hesitant. But also fearing the prophecy, or Odins wrath, he did it. And when Fenryr failed to break free from that chain, he bit down hard ripping Tyrs hand off. Tyr knew it was coming. But it was just. He promised his hand if Fenryr failed to break free, and be freed.
      Ironic part, Fenryr probably wouldnt have turned on them had they not tricked him into his chains in the first place.. using his best friend to betray his trust...

    Great video but you did Freya twice. Freya and Frejya is the same god, just spelled different.

      Yes, and neither Loki nor Hella were siblings of Thor, Loki was adoptive blood brother of Odin and Hella was the daughter of Loki and sister of Sleipnir, Jormundgandir, and Fenrir

    Very nice vid. Personally thought I think Ragnarok is all bunk created by the christians keeping records of the Norse gods and making up a story where they all die and everything sends so you should TOTALLY convert to the side with a future. I bet Thor is still out there striking down giants just fine and doesnt even care the comics changed hsi hair color while Loki is just glad they didnt talk about how Odin got his horse

    I think it's great that they are learning about other cultures but they are given disconnected pieces of information without context and I think they are more confused than anything at the end of the day. For example Mitgard is mentioned without being explained that it is the human world, or at the beginning Valkyries who bring dead warriors to Vallhala, or it isn't explained who the woman by Njord's side is or why he is so far away from the sea, or what the Aesir are. I think they should have been told that the Norse culture was quite battle focused because that would explain the way the gods are depicted always armed, even the women.
    Just reading a few lines from Wikipedia isn't enough to explain the complexity of another religion. I felt the same when I watched the Greek pantheon video, but didn't write it then because I didn't think they would repeat the video.

    It should be said that unlike the episode with the Greek gods/goddesses, where many of the sculptures were literally create by the believers thousands of years ago, ALL the pictures shown here are relatively modern paintings created with a HUGE amount of romantic notions of what those gods looked like, and also what Norsemen looked like. I would be better to find actually authentic art depicting these deities - although the ancient scandinavians were not as skilled as the Greek. Most of their figurative art was quite crude and "rustic". They eccelled at more abstract art like braided patterns and jewelry etc. (But this is just my own opinion).
    Also, it would be interesting to mention to these people that Proto-Germanic peoples were the Indo-Europeans, migrated from the Indus Valley. They were dark skinned much like the people in the video, but had blue eyes. The langauge the spoke, Proto-Germanic or Proto-Norse, has common lingual ancestry with Sanskrit. It's no coincidence that we share certain words in common. "Nam" in sanskrit means sound, or name. Is Swedish our word for "name" is "Namn". In fact that word keeps recurring is many languages in various similar forms. Even in Japanese "Namae". Shows us that we're all connected on this planet, and that we're not all so different.

    “Marvel made movies on this character”
    More like “poorly (and that’s being generous) made movies on this character.”
    Don’t get me started how badly they did the Thor, Odin, Hela, and Loki relationship. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to explain to people how badly Marvel f8cked that up . . . let alone how they portrayed my favorite character from Norse Mythology, Fenrir

      Shield-maidens are mostly a thing of legends(Usually found in some saga's). I do believe they existed, but there is no actual evidence they were the norm.
      However, in some cases, even in Christian Europe, women did not have the choice but to participate in fight and know how to defend themselves and the children or at least buy enough time to hide or escape.
      I'm especially talking about home invasion or siege scenarios. It seems logical to me that the most reasonable husbands(especially if they are nobles) taught their ladies the proper use of polearm weapons that would give them at least some chance against the stronger opponent.
      While Scandinavian shield-maidens were most possibly not a norm, you might look into Caesar's encounter with some Germanic tribes if the idea of female warrior fascinates you(Not medieval period, but still fascinating). Caesar witnessed some tribes that had a fair number of women fighting alongside the men on the open battlefield. To be honest, I forgot which tribe was it exactly, but I think it's Tencteri(or even Usipii).

    I think a video dedicated to Loki would be cool. His mythologies show him both as a villain and doing horrible tricks, but also as a victim (the creation of Sleipnir, the sword in Fenrirs mouth, Hela who got sent away, Jormundgandr who got thrown to another world, the twin brother who got cursed, etc).
    It would be cool for them to compare the Marvel Loki and the Mytho Loki.
