  • The Bronze Age in southern Scandinavia surpasses most of bronze age europe. It is the richest period of finds, crafts, creativity and artistic expression. Only in Mycenaean Greece there is an equivalent in findings.
    In Scandinavia it developed over 1000 years the prime Bronze Age craftsmanship and crafts in Europe. Large quantities of buried amber treasures has been found from Bronze Age Scandinavia.
    Amber was also a very important commodity in countries around the mediterranean sea.
    Tutankhamun was buried with an amber held over his heart.
    Amber was seen as magical during the Bronze Age and was used for jewelry.
    In the richest graves of Mycenae in Greece, it has been found large collars of amber.
    Modern analysis shows that those amber comes from the Baltic Sea.
    The Nordic bronze age fits also the Greeks description of their contact with the Hyperboreans in the far north.
    Amber seems ta have been the Nordic gold during the Bronze Age.
    Svenska:
    Bronsåldern i södra skandinavien överträffar det mesta i europa.
    Det är den rikaste perioden på fynd, konsthantverk, kreativitet och konstnärliga uttryck.
    Endast i Mykene och Grekland finner man nått motsvarande.
    I skandinavien utvecklas i ca 1000 år det främsta bronsåldershantverket och konsthantverket i Europa.
    Stora mängder nedgrävda bärnstens skatter har hittats i bronsålderns skandinavien.
    Bärnsten var också en mycket viktig handelsvara i rikena runt medelhavet.
    Den nordiska bronsåldern passar perfekt in i Grekernas beskrivningen av Hyperboréerna som levde långt upp i norr.
    Tutankhamon blev begravd med en bärnsten över hjärtat.
    Bärnstenen ansågs magisk under Bronsåldern och användes till smycken.
    I de rikaste gravarna i Grekland Mykene finner man stora halskragar av bärnsten.
    Moderna analyser visar att bärnstenen kommer ifrån Östersjön.
    Bärnstenen framstår som Nordens guld under Bronsåldern.

      Clever Roberts: Well not many Norse people know about this fantastic age at all. And infact not many other people know about it either.
      People arent taught about this age and the objects found from this era in schools.

    I have some Scandinavian ancestry, it's just 11% but I'm very happy and proud of it. I've loved the Scandinavian languages and cultures since I was thirteen (the Nordic Bronze Age and the Viking Age are my favourite parts), and I've even eaten some Danish and Swedish foods without leaving America (the pickled herring, frikadeller, prinsesstårta, and köttbullar are my biggest favourites), though I still have yet to eat blood sausage and the other classics. I love bands and musicians from the Nordic countries too. I love this video and the song (im a fan of Wardruna), it's so beautiful. I especially love the rock carvings.

    Would be interesting to know what language was spoken by the Nordic Bronze age Culture people
    Proto Germanic is believed by some to have evolved as a mix of several Proto-Indo-European dialects (proto Balto-Slavic and Proto-Italic-Celtic perhaps) plus an older non Indo-European language that was spoken in Scandinavia since prehistoric times, maybe with some relation to Finno-Ugric languages
    Germanic languages have an unusual amount of words which are not shared with other Indo-European languages

    Despite excavations have been forbidden in Gotaland after the kings were placed in Stockholm Gotaland have far more precious findings due to private finds. Excavations forbidden!!!!! Due to animosity between svear and geats. Angry ANGRY!!!! Gotaland is the holy land in northern Europe. They helped the anglians against the saxons, see Sutton Hoo = gota dialect meaning seventeen mounds. I have been crying at Beowulfs grave mound on the top of wonderful Hafsten the whale mountain. The ground for his house with the entry stones is 30 m from my house. The retired Beowulfs house was burned by Grendels father. The Grendels were real domesticated pteranodons fitted with commanding equipment.
    I know that because I know who took them here and constructed the chamber and sluice and the place for it. They are here now and a plesiosaur was seen here and seals on the Raevsness where I have found the chamber with metal rods. A really magical beautiful place!

    Ships often pulled up on shore,laye trade goods out on beach to do business,natives would leave equivalent worth to object taken,when all were happy with deal,the ships left,they would return by stone sun dial date next season.central trading commerce was earlier than thought,earlier than Phoenician traders.

    What you said in description is completely uncorrect. You completely forgot the Nuragic civilization in Sardinia and the massive fortresses (Nuraghes), 3 meters statues (Monte Prama giants) and the incredible bronze artefacts this civilization did. They were also part of those western "people of the sea" that induced great empires in the Orient and the same Mycenean kingdoms to the fall. I suggest you to inform you well regard this subject.

    • @BirkaViking
      @BirkaViking  6 років тому

      Octavianus Augustus: Well its not uncorrect since the objects in bronze production was the most advanced in both Scandinavia and Mycenaen Greek. And they had for sure contact also. I have watched the Nuragic objects and they seems to be the same culture as here in the north during the bronze age since their horned warrior cult small statues looks the same as ours here. You have also the same earlier Dolmen culture up here as down there in Sardinia.

    • @exnuraklux6055
      @exnuraklux6055 6 років тому

      Yes now I got what you mean. About the nuragic culture and the similitudes with the northern cultures of same period you're right and there are various studies regarding the hypothesis of a megalithic koinè in various parts of Europe which main traits remained preserved in the most isolated regions. Another element regards the ships: the nuragic ones had an animal figurehead in the bow just as in other northern cultures and this is a unique in the mediterranean area. Last but not least are the genetic studies concerning the genetics of sardinian people, actually one of the oldest in the planet due to the isolation in the millenia. The main aplogroups present in our genetics are related to archaic samples of the danubian area like the "I" one, and this map is quite explicative: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/96/Distribution_Haplogroup_I_Y-DNA.svg/1200px-Distribution_Haplogroup_I_Y-DNA.svg.png

    • @BirkaViking
      @BirkaViking  6 років тому

      Octavianus Augustus: Well I want to add that the same ship types can be seen on Mycenaen Greek vases plus amber from the baltic sea has been found in the Greek elites graves from this time period so the Greeks had for sure contact with the Northmen.
      Plus I also want to add that the Dannish DNA scientist Eske Willerslev for some year ago stated that the first europeans that arrived to europe around 40 000 years ago are identical to north europeans. And it has not been any big migrations to europe at all. Instead it has lived big meta populations of these early europeans all over europe and middle east plus far in to Asia. And that could explain why the Tocharian mummies in China are blond and redhaired.

      Funny enough, the Nordics are like second least hated Germanic group.
      Mostly because they're pagan most of their history and currently the most liberal or progressive group in Europe.
      The first least hated Germanic group would probably be the Franks, mostly because they simply bypass all the hate by becoming French.
