How this only has 7.3k views is a disgrace in my OP. This is one of the finest historical documentaries I've watched in many years.
Thanks for the kind words. My long form videos are usually slow burns that grow over time but as long as anyone enjoys I'm happy. Cheers.
Absolutely agree!
People don't like good content. Are you just starting to figure that out?
@@wiwysova very generalised term 😂
AGREED
"Yore" content is next level, excellent storytelling. Can't believe you don't have more subs
Uniquely engaging storytelling. The second person perspective pulls you in and adds emotion and experience to the story. Well done man.
Fresh new style I haven't seen elsewhere. Interesting and seems to work well with a lot of pictures and maps- +1+1+1+1+1 very great indeed! Great video! +1+1+1+1+1+1+1
Absolutely brilliant work!! These are historical masterpieces.. you are horribly underrated my friend but I appreciate you.
Man, this is a truly incredible video. Thank you
Cheers and thanks for watching! :)
Broooo..... that was so good! Amazing!
I really appreciate your narrative style. Quickly won my subscription
You really deserve more subs. Keep it going!!
By Far This Is The Best Video Of This Series
From start till end I was in this storytelling. So nice so well done. It felt like I was there with him.
Many thanks
I love your last name, last name :)
Awesome!! Thanks for uploading man these are always the coolest things to watch
Cheers more coming. If you have suggestions of things you would like to see (time periods/type of individual etc) let me know. I put polls up periodically and use them to help my creativity :)
I love historical documentaries and there is something especially evocative about using the 2nd person perspective and the storytelling it enables. Thank you so much, this is excellent work.
Remarkable, you have a gift, you have enriched my life ,taking me into another world, a long forgotten world! reanimated by your words!
Cheers and thanks :)
Wow, how cool and legendary were the Vikings
Thanks for sharing with us
This is AMA-ZING. Wow this should be a netflix series, getting so immersive in the life of daily people around different periods is something not taught possible a few decades ago.
I could only imagined what a Pirate Farmer that only lived in the infertile Cold lands of Scandinavia would feel when arriving at the Queen of Cities. Now I can see it.
Thank you
Cheers and thx for watching! More coming.
I am here as wall ❤❤❤❤❤
Was going to just listen to the final episode... But as this is here! may aswell do it all again. Love what you do!
I love these stories, keep up the good work Yore History
Thank you for a great audio series.
Greek fire and damascene steel, baby!
If one day it’s possible, I would love to hear a history of an ordinary European midwife/housewife (all of whom lived on a knife’s edge of being accused of being a witch simply because of her healing knowledge), or average Jewish slave in Egypt, or the muranos in Italy. Also, perhaps a point of view from a Mayan citizen, warrior or not. And a slave in the court of the Ptolemy dynasties, or any Egyptian court.
Honestly, I’m just going to be happy with whatever you cover, lol. I don’t know why I’m requesting anything because I’m hungry for anything accurately historically entertaining.
I flipping love your stuff. Keep on with it, PLEASE! And thank you!
I will definitely do some female centric stories as well and that is a GREAT idea. Thank you so much :) Just so you know though other than the POV character I try to make EVERYTHING else as historically accurate as possible.
nice video brother i enjpyed it, i also cant wait for the next safavid episode! wish u luck
Amazing storytelling as always!
Great vid. Keep it up. This is a great channel.
Perfect. Thanks from Brazil. Please give a subs in portuguese.
Im from Iceland and understood the beginning somewhat haha 👍
Edit: I can relate to all of the scrolls.
Great Job and awesome storytelling + video
Icelandic is a dialect of Old Norse so makes sense you could :) Cheers and thanks for watching!
The way you can tell stories is awesome. You’ve really brought these times to life.
Cheers Mike and thanks for watching!
All your "stories" are top notch! Still waiting for the third installment in the Roman merchant series.
It's coming and WILL be up within a week or two...just finishing a video on my Mythology channel on werewolves then back here for part 3!
Outstanding,
A great listen! Greetings from the shores of lake Malaren :)
Thanks for listening
Great tale, thank you

But I have to say again to the video creator, thank you. Keep coming to this video and keep enjoying the whole journey from beginning to end
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it. More coming!

@@YoreHistory Yore the man 👌🏼
this channel is a prime example of only the plants make it, this channel is sooooo gooooood. thank you for telling a story of my ancestors. idk if you have one on normands id love to watch a story on my direct ancestors, the Heberts were lords and strong warriors who came to normandy with rollo the walker and conquered england along side william the conquer
What does "only the plants make it" mean? Like in war or what?
@@Merble as in the only ones being allowed to be successful are being planted within. good example is habitual linecrosser ripping off space wendigo and being scene as the guy who created that short comedy style. same with this channel, its so good but clearly this guy is a average joe who works his a** off to make this fantastic content. personally im sick of dudes like habitual who was on vetTV steal or just run off with others content and or like this channel a hard working creator that isnt on everyone's fyp
@@101bravohotel6 Bruh... I've never heard of space wendigo until I looked him up just now... but that style was 'invented' back in the 90s. It was a regular bit on the Jay Leno show. Literally anyone can get big making shorts over standard videos and HBL has been making both types of videos for at least a year longer than Space Wendigo going off their channel history... A cursory watch tells me HBL is funnier, less politically biased, more informed on military operations and more Pro-America so I'm really not shocked HBL has 600k while your dude has 1k.
Meanwhile, Yore History is absolutely gonna grow naturally because the storytelling is good and people eat up history content, usually in waves. This channels views have risen almost 200% this month, is that evidence of a plant or just quality content?
No offense, this all reads a little paranoid. The real plants are things like MAGA content getting pushed to the front page despite having insanely low engagement once you take the bots away with some vetting software like Cyabra.
@@Merble youre not taking into account he was space dorito first and kept getting banned for the dumbest reasons. and i disagree with you HBL is by far way more biased and regularly rips jokes off and on top of that wrong again SW started in 2020 HBl just started doing this concept in 2023 ironically the very day wendigo lost his dorito account to another bs violation
@@101bravohotel6 I'm not sure if you expect me to defend HBL using a Jay Leno bit or what but... it's not stealing to use a format. We went over this a decade ago with the Fine Bros and 'react' content. You're free to see biases as you want but afaict, HBL is politically neutral and far more educated on military matters, hence his popularity.
Awesome
Me over here trying to look up the stats for the amulets
Lol +2 :)
Can you make a video series of qing dynasty
In a few months I'll have a better schedule and yes this is planned.
Btw, when will the new Sassanid empire episode be ready?
I know my videos are slower now that I am working full time but It will either be the next one or the one after that :)
@@YoreHistory No problem, take your time :)
the g is silent in most of the og and meg stuff at least that's how my norwegian grandma from alesund talked
I am a native Dutch/English speaker so tried to make it sound a bit more how I think (purely speculative) would have sounded at the time as it would have been far more germanic rooted back then than the current day. But I have no doubt about the silent G :)
There is good reason to assume that the old norse did pronounce with the g, as for instance in swedish, "og" is now "och" (hard K), and meg is now "mig" (which until recently was properly pronounced with a G). As languages mature, they tend to become easier on the tongue. We can see this for instance with words beginning in H in icelandic. "Hlaupa (to run)" most likely being an example of a preserved pronounciation and "hvalur(whale)" being simplified to sound like [kvalur] when it most likely sounded more like [huhvalur] in the past.
is there any information on saxons that resettled in scandinavia after charlemagne's genocide?
There is...particularly accounts from the Massacre of Verden which had several prominent Saxons and their households flee to Denmark.
❤❤❤❤❤
There's no audio after 30 minutes
Yes there is? Maybe an issue on your end...100% video after 30 mins.
I had no problem with audio.
A pirate one coming soon? Or privateer.
Oh god Kermit the frog back narrating again 😢
Simple solution...don't watch. My voice isn't going to be for everyone.
the vikings were just as much uncultured scumbags as the mongols huns and other raiding cultures. it must be remembered their main trade was slaves. these guys were (for the most part) very brutal but have been and are still being romanticised a lot. i think one big difference from other raiders apart from their fascinating pagan beliefs was that the vikings had good genetics. women wanted their tall handsome genetics. mongol and arab genes... not so much.
I would agree. I think one of the aspects they get romanticized about IS their capability of brutality. Where they any more or less brutal than other kingdoms of their age? Depends on what you are specifically looking at. The Anglo Saxons, Franks, Arabs could be equally brutal to their enemies. What stands out with Vikings is the perception of unprovoked aggression in the form of their raiding. They weren't the dirty necessarily in a physical grooming sense but they could be very brutal. We also need to remember that slavery came in many forms...with Ottomans/Byzantines/Arabs/Vikings openly but other European city states a bit more subdued in the form of serfdom :)
I guess the more 'cultured', 'civilized" Romans did not deal in slaves :) Slavery was a common 'business' until early Christianity was introduced in medieval Europe.
@@stevepodleski i dont think anyone has claimed romans did not deal with slaves? romans are also heavily romanticised like the vikings (actually probably all cultures are by someone) but the romans also built roads and aqueducts irrigation systems plumbing widespread literacy etc while the norse lived in wooden huts with mud floors so you could say the romans made up a little bit for their barbarism.
An important point that few people pay attention to is that slavery were much more cruel in empires like Rome, like the gladiators.....
And also the slave trade was one of the main trades of Rome. But few people pay attention to the bad deeds of bigger civilizations, and they always complain about smaller civilizations like Vikings, barbarians or Huns. I must also add that this could be the origin of non-barbarian historians who call any non-Roman culture or way of life baseless and barbaric, Also, the word "barbarians" which means "wild people" is derived from which are indirectly dictated to the people.
It is not justice at all :(
The idea that Vikings were uncultured is simply not true, Norman France is directly the result of such a group of Vikings .
