As a Natural born Swede that has Countless Generations back stretching Hundreds if not thousands of Years here (Hard to be accurate enough since records dating that long back is very Unreliable..) It saddens me to say that the Eradication of North mythology has been under attack for as long as I can remember.. back in the 1990's when I was a kid, I myself was brought in to the principal because I had a Thor's Hammer necklace to school.. They tried to bullshit me and my parents that the hammer was a Racist symbol because a Right leaning, Patriotic and somewhat controversial band called "Ultima Tule" had Viking themes in their Image. (Especially Thor's Hammer) But it was quite easy to Circumvent it by stating the Simple fact that I had the Viking "Asa Tro" as my Religion. Then I was Fully Protected by Swedish Law (Freedom of Religion!) Still Saddens me that Our own Culture is being Eradicated in the "Fight for Multiculturalism" and "Fear of being seen as Racist"... Almost makes me sometimes feel Ashamed of Calling myself Swedish... Especially since Scandinavian Culture is Extremely Unique and Awesome! I Live about 15 minutes from Sweden's largest Superstore "Gekås" and I am Hard at work on the plans for a Viking Village on my family's Land that I live on here. Will Open the Entire thing up to the Public as soon as I can! I will fight Tooth and Nail for our Culture!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and passion for Scandinavian culture and Norse mythology! It’s inspiring to hear about your dedication to preserving and celebrating your heritage, especially with your plans for a Viking village what an amazing project! I’m actually working on my next video about the Viking Age right now, and your insights really resonate with the theme. Stay tuned, as we’ll be uploading the Viking Age video soon! I hope it captures some of that unique spirit you’re fighting to protect. Thanks again for your support!

Thank you for sharing that impressive list of Swedish inventions! Sweden has contributed so much to the world, from everyday items like the adjustable spanner and ball bearings to groundbreaking innovations like the pacemaker and the three-point safety belt. It's amazing to see such a rich history of ingenuity, and it's cool to think that even Minecraft is a Swedish creation! By the way, I’m currently editing my next video on the Viking Age, so stay tuned for that if you're interested in more of Sweden's fascinating history!
Thank you for your comment! You’re right, there’s often a lot of debate about who invented certain technologies. The first implantable pacemaker was indeed developed by Swedish innovators in the 1950s, though many countries, including Israel, have since made significant advancements in medical technology. As for the ship propeller, British engineer Francis Pettit Smith is generally credited with the first practical screw propeller in the 1830s. It’s interesting to see how inventions evolve with contributions from around the world!
Why not even dp basic research on the mythological figures? Odin only had one eye, he gave up one of his eyes for knowledge, never seen him depicted with both eyes.
Thank you for pointing that out! I’m truly sorry for the oversight. When choosing the images, my main focus was on finding visuals that would match the narration for viewers’ enjoyment. I aimed to use images that felt relevant to the content, but I overlooked the fact that Odin lost one of his eyes in exchange for knowledge. I’ll make sure to keep this detail in mind for future videos, even though the Viking Age video is already uploaded. Moving forward, I’ll work on including visuals that are as accurate as possible to respect the mythology and enhance the experience for everyone watching. Thanks again for helping me improve!
Just say that this image is from before he sacrificed his eye. He did exist with two eyes as well no matter how fond people are of depicting him with just the one eye.
Thank you for your feedback! The foundation of the script was created by me, with AI used to help polish it for a smoother voiceover. The voiceover itself is AI, and I use AI-generated images as visuals since not every historical event has available footage. These images aren’t always perfect representations, but they help bring the story to life. I’d love to know which parts you found inaccurate so I can make improvements. Thanks again for watching and sharing your insights!
@@inspirEclipses It was a really interesting video, but the Norse gods and most of the Viking images were not very accurate. The Vikings NEVER had horned helmets, EVER! Only in the German operas from the 19th century. Also, the Swedes did NOT "sit back and watch" during WWII. Many, many Swedes fought in armies in other countries, many worked hard to help refugees in several European countries and also provide supplies and help to neighbours in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Would have loved to seen more images of the beautiful landscapes too, both in the north and south. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts! You're absolutely correct and I hope you'll stay with us as we continue exploring and improving!
@@CatClaw666You also forgot that during WW II, we helped train Norwegian resistance but at the same time to not get invaded, we let German troops cross our lands in to Norway and exported iron to Germany. I myself would also have liked that the video had mentioned one of our biggest inventors of all time Alfred Nobel and his dynamite and his legacy with the Nobel price. And a mention of Carl von Linné (Carl Linnaeus) botanist, biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature. And Anders Celsius professor of astronomy who invented the centigrade temperature scale which later was renamed to Celsius in his honor.
Fjords is a Norwegian word and concept. There are no fjords in Sweden. Sweden have vik when it comes to waterways that goes inland from the open ocean.
You're absolutely right-Sweden has "vik" instead of fjords, referring to different types of waterways that extend inland. Thank you for pointing this out! Actually, after finishing the script, I ran it through AI for some tone improvements to help with voice-over flow and check for any potential mistakes. It ended up not just refining the tone but changing a few small details in the script. At first, I didn’t notice, but by the time I finished editing, I saw that some parts had shifted slightly. Since they were minor, I let it slide, but I’ll definitely be more focused in the future as I continue to improve. Thank you again for your keen eye, and I’ll keep this in mind moving forward!
@@inspirEclipses You are both wrong. I served in the Royal Swedish Navy at Gullmarsbasen, deep in the Gullmarsfjorden, one of many fjords in Sweden....

Nowadays, It`s claiming that it is The Israelis, that invented the pacemaker ande the ship propeller was invented i britain...

Not true we have Fjords they are few but they exist. Most have names of Vik in their name but some are considered Fjords hence the name.
