Instant like and subscribe! I appreciate the effort to show the real complexity of people, cultures and ideas. Anyone who sees in monolith either doesn't have enough information, or are lying in order to try to sell you something (values, ideas or merchandise).
@@CelticShae thank you for the support! You’re absolutely right, every time something is presented in a generalising way, just simplified and stripped of all nuances… usually there’s some ideological or economic reason behind it. It’s sad really…
Interesting. Always more space available for corrections of popular misconceptions about history. I see videos like that more often and there are so many popular misconceptions about history.
@@ForenaamAkternaam I guess information that is easy to believe just spreads quicker. History is generally much more complex, making simplified assumptions more easily available…
Is there much evidence of cross cultural exchange with islamic and bhuddist towns/peoples? Like would they have had their wise elders exchanging knowledge and philosophies?🤔
Well "wise elders" is a bit of a stereotypical view, but yes, there would have definitely been an exchange of ideas and worldviews. The cultural exchanges were mostly for trade reasons, but even then, products that were not known in one area could be imported from another. There are some theories that the Scandinavians learned some navigation methods from the East I believe (Greece and the Islamic world)!
Yes.... shocking. I felt similar when I watched The Seventh Seal (by Ingmar Bergman) and saw an atheist in the Middle Age: it's obvious when you think about it in retrospective, but I suppose the stereotype is because people has no time nor mind resources for detailed information about things that are not enough relevant for them; but the problem appears when the idea becomes relevant and people has the simplified version. So, thank you for your teaching. 🙂👍
@@bregnevakker5404 interesting thoughts! Yeah, the presentation is definitely simplified, so most people probably do not fill in “missing” information if they do not feel anything is missing. Although, I remember that Vikings and its spinoff Vikings Valhalla did introduce elements from other religions, like the Buddha.
@@Goy56im I don’t worship the gods, that is correct. Never said I have. That does not mean I disrespect them, I hold them in high regard! And anyone with a presence on social media seeks at least some level of attention :)
Really informative video. Great video, Dawid!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed making this one!
