- Dive into the Norse myth of how Loki tricked a stranger into building the great wall of Asgard to keep the realm safe from giants.
--
Asgard, a realm of wonders, was where the Norse Gods made their home. There Odin’s great hall of Valhalla towered above the mountains and Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, anchored itself. Though their domain was magnificent, it stood undefended from the giants and trolls who sought to destroy them. But a stranger appeared and made the gods an offer. Alex Gendler details the myth of the master builder.

Odin: how did you get such magneficent horse?
Loki: uhh....
Literally mpreg

The horse caught up the mare and had to release some tension. Loki's child was born months later, and both returned. Later still, the offspring grew up becoming Odin's steed, the end.

"Of course it was loki, its always loki" xD
yeah... too bad he got cast out in the end.
He's like literally the only one with brain in Asgard, everyone hate him probably because he is neither Aseir or Vanir but a giant
Somebody screwed this horse, who was it?
@@mig9941 Loki xD
He took one for the team.
the proper pronounciations of the norse names is so legit
Yeah
He didn't get any of them right tho. Good effort still
Are they using the Old Norse pronunciations or more modernized ones from Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish (or Icelandic, I suppose)?
TheSimon253
You can’t really write how you pronounce it but in Icelandic it’s written Freyja which is the correct one since almost everything that has to do with this stuff (I think it’s called Norse Mythology in english) is taken from a book called Snorra-Edda which is a book written by an Icelandic author named Snorri Sturluson somewhere around 1300. So I think that the Icelandic pronounciations are the correct ones but I could be wrong
If you speak Faroese, yes.
Dear TED-Ed: if you ever do the story of the time Thor had to dress up as a bride and Loki as a bridesmaid to go undercover and get Mjolnir back, I'll love you forever and always
That's the kind of drag tale everybody wants to know.
My favourite myth, I need to see this
I mean Loki won't
I think they've done it 😅
We are not doing get help.
*A few minutes later....*
Get help, my friend is dying,please get help
*Yeets Loki*
Loki's shapeshifting is even more impressive in the myths then on screen. He can turn into animals, inanimate objects and can literally change genders.
Changing genders only makes sense if you are shapeshifting. I mean, your body is already being warped to something else. Why not take it a step further?
and get a 8 legged horse
man can play prophunt irl

Master builders are those who don't need instructions for lego builds
Well yes but also to know how to set it up so legos dont fall by gravity or have the inside look like a wreck.
Its all lego
This man is speaking the language of all Daedra and Aedra!
The Lego movie used subtlety to talk about masonry in a movie
flameyoshi07 mmm hmm!
I feel bad for the builder. He did his job perfectly.
He was a giant. So basically racism
He asked for too high a price and didn't bother negotiating with some powerful gods.
Willing to bet he was on the run if he turned to his mortal enemies for work.
Adarsh Kumar racism
@@Madhattersinjeans it was still their fault for accepting it, they underestimated the guy and he worked hard to prove them wrong.
The builder really meant to destroy the gods by taking his payments. He was just as much a trickster as Loki.
Voice Actor: So how correct do you want the pronunciations to be?
Everybody: Yes
Thor: I need a horse
Loki: no you will not take my child

0:06 TIL how Asgard is correctly pronounced
i highly recommend Jotun: Valhalla Edition on steam, it's an action adventure through norse mythology narrated in subtitled icelandic and it sounds _AMAZING_
Well no you didn't. TED-Ed usually has pretty good pronunciation, but they butchered some in this one, including Asgard (or Asgård). It depends on if you want to pronounce it in Swedish, Norwegian, Danish or Icelandic, but I don't think any of them pronounce it like that.
Loki: can transform into practically anything and got mounted by a horse
Also Loki: tries to kill a Mad Titan with a dagger the size of his hand
Freya: *is the goddess of fertility*
Loki: You are like little baby. Watch this:
The Animation, the narration and how the myth was so well summed up just made me instalike this video. Amazing job
Loki still got smashed by another horse
"How did Thor get his mighty Mjolnir?"
I know how, I'd just rather discuss how Loki got an 8 legged horse😌

That moment when you realize that loki was banged by a horse
Who knew the master builder would one day make his way to clash of clans
I told u and u turned it into a story
Too bad he can't build town halls in a minute.
Kinda knew Loki parented some of the Nordic mythological creatures but this I didn't know Sleipnir's origin. Thanks for the fun video❤️
Basically he got rap*d by the builder's horse and got pregnant to Sleipnir
Thor: Loki, why u sitting on an ice block?
Loki: Nothing, i just had been in a long tough ride.
Thor: At least dad is enjoying his new ride horse.
Loki (crying): I didn't...
It's official: Loki is so fluid to the point that they gave birth to Odin's 8-legged steed!
*Plot Twist:* Loki didn't died in Infinity War, he already left the universe to hang out with NoobMaster69.
*Double Plot Twist:* He is NoobMaster69!
*didn't die.

Loki: Oh it was easy, barley an inconvenience
Odin: so how?
Loki: ummmm, eBay?😁
ahaha Ryan George reference?
All this time I was pronouncing Jotenheim and Asgard wrong, no thanks to Marvel.
Thank you Ted-Ed!
You pronounce it wrong *thanks to marvel
There are many different pronunciations and spellings of old words, so I wouldn't trust just one source.
Eh, we've been pronouncing that way long before Marvel entered the picture.
When I heard how they pronounced the horses name, it sounds like Spotify.
Loki:* tells the stranger he can build the wall*
Odin: He's not gonna finish it in that little time.
One day later
Stranger: okay I'm almost finished
Freya: *REEEEE*

I guess when they build the wall, the Jotuns should pay for it....

Man, these myths always end so unfairly
Jauke Weterings. Yes builder worked so hard and didin't get paid. And probably died.
subjectblue blue
He wanted to to take away the sun and the moon, this would kill all humans which is even mentioned in the myth.
Mobeen Khan. He said he wants sun and moon. He didin't say that he will take them away :/
Yep I think the Gods were so mean. They should not kill the giant after had their agreement. Due to the fact that both gods and giant made a fair deal about gate building.
@@halam7301 When ragnarok comes, some giants and folk gather around the bander of the gods enemies specificity cus the gods routinely breaks their promises. A big chunk of norse stories end with the gods creating their future foes and woes. Just look at the gods treatment of Fenrir wolf.
Odin: Hey Loki, where did you get this magnificent steed?

"Hey how did you get eight legs on this horse"

Haha hahaha
Loki: what are you doing step-horse ?
NOPE! NOPE!nonononono *NO* !!!!
2:43 "loki and his terrible advice" should have been the title of this video
Ahahahaha oh god the ending is hilarious
It is somehow kinda unfair that only loki, the one suggesting the idea, got to fix the mistake alone when all the Gods had all agreed to Loki clever ideas at the beginning. Makes me respect him more as a hero he truly is. Without him Asgard would never got that wall built. Thanks for this video. Love your mythology series
Well, he *is* kind of a scapegoat, when he isn't forced to solve problems he caused, he's forced to solve problems he didn't
Neat myth (especially funny what Loki did) But I do feel bad for the giant. He did everything fair and square, even agreeing for the deal that was meant to guarantee his loss. And yet when he pointed out God's cheating, they killed him with cold blood.
"Loki didn't want to discuss it"
Odin: where'd this horse come from?
Loki: are you really asking me this? Really?
Thor: You're my brother!
Loki: Adopted
but Loki is Odin's Blood Brother
Sounds like different to me
@@redashura9255 I'm aware of the mistakes Marvel made with the mythology, but this line in Thor: Ragnorok was too good to miss.

To be fair, I think Marvel Thor movies were based off the comic book Loki, not the mythology Loki.
Loki’s charm extends beyond species and gender (X
“All he asked in return was the beautiful goddess Freya’s hand in marriage along with the sun and the moon from the sky.”
Yeah, that’s all he asked for.
I'm not sure I get the implication you are making.

Loki: don’t question it Odin
Odin: but
Loki: Don’t. Question. It
Ted-ed voices are so engaging 😍😍
"How did odin lose his Eye?" Please make this video
he used it in exchange for some smart juice - It was a bargain
Odin wanted to get more wisdom to become more powerful (Odin was not long King of Gods and so Not confident of His Powers) so he visited Mimir, a giant, who has been known for great knowledge and wisdom. Odin pretended to be a normal human being. When Mimir and Odin met Mimir told Odin that He gains his wisdom by drinking water Out of his pond. Odin asked for Mimirs permission to Drink of it too but He didnt allow it, except He is willing to sacrifice one eye for it.Odin did so without thinking of a Seconds. In the moment he Cut off His eye, Mimir knew that the man in front of him was a God.
Mimir and Odin became Close friends, giving each Other advice when they needed it.

@@kurax9115 thank you so much, very kind of you, and don't worry your english is very good unlike me hahah
@@kurax9115 I remember Mimir was also a god. after Mimir was killed as he was not a satisfying hostage in the war of the gods, Odin returned life to his severed head and let him forever guard his wisdom fountain - some source say Odin preserve the head for all the wisdom stored within
@@trunguc2019 i remember too that He riveved him/His head but im Not sure If he was a good
As a native icelandic speaker I would love to help with pronoucing the Nordic gods name in ancient nordic. Some of the pronunciations were pretty good, such as Óðinn but some were very bad, such as Freyja
this is seriously the epitome of storytelling and mythology with a pint of unexpected humour ,great work ted ed ;)
Title: *Master Builder*
My Brain:
Watch Lego Movie again!
Surtur will know what to do when Ragnarok comes
I like how the narrator pronounces odin's name and asgard accurately
Loki’s decision was actually pretty smart except for the fact that they couldn’t anticipate that dude’s insane speed
Feels good to finally know the origin story of The Ritual monster.
Loki: i got a horse
Odin: where did you find it
Loki: *uhhh*
Loki: I had to bend over
Odin: why?
Loki: 😳
Loki beats the heck out of Odin
Loki’s face at the end makes me all kinds of uncomfortable
"The Gods celebrated their victory"
Dude, they cheated all over.
Always look forward to TedEd videos!
I LOVE NORDIC MYTHS!!!!
Please never stop this series!!!
It's funny cuz Loki could have just distracted the horse. He didn't have to do the deed with it but kudos to him I guess 💀
That was the idea, but the horse caught up and forced himself on Loki.
I'm surprised the goddess didnt fall for the stranger for making a huge wall that fast
She was already married to Odur.
When you are still in COC: Master builder.👌😂
didnt laugh
