      Yes, technically the term „Germans“ should include Scandinavians as well, as far as I know the Romans invented this Name for all of them, the people we refer to as Germans called themselves „Tiudisc“ or „Theodisc“, I don’t know how to write it, but that’s what the term „Teutsch“ and later „Deutsch“ diverged from.

    A fun fact about Germany is that the last and quite large pagan shrine was actually Slavic and stood on the Rügen peninsula, where the Danish king Waldemar I. destroyed large idol of Svantovit, the god of war and abundance and there was much more temples. And in today's Austria, near the city of Klagenfur, there is still an amazing stone chair on which the Slavic pagan rullers were ritually appointed. I know these places are not of Germanic origin, but of Slavic origin, but it's still amazing.

      @@MrChristianDT I’d have to agree, but I also know that lies were often used by the monotheists in order to justify what they did to the innocent polytheists. The endless contradicting accounts of Arab polytheists by their monotheist counterparts when compared to the accounts of those same polytheists on part of the Roman sources proves that if a group has something (favour) to lose by telling the truth then lying is always usually the course taken. We also have European sources that contradict Christian claims of heinous practices carried out by European polytheists-which makes sense since the Christians slaughtered and genocided the pagan Polytheists and so would have every reason to lie about and demonise their traditions-just as the Muslims did to the Arabs.

    Yes, there's still Pagan temples being discovered under churches in the UK to this day, you start to get a feel for a change in ownership as it were. St Alban's for instance, a sacred spring was supposed to have started where the martyr St Alban's head stopped rolling after his execution. You know the spring was there before, the place was a Roman town and before that a Celtic one, both cultures big on sacred springs. Glastonbury has to be mentioned among any sacred places in England, I'm not sure what went on there pre Christian but you have to wonder just through the amount of attention the Christians paid to it what was there before.

    I need to go to some of these places!! Nice video. Again :) I would like you to check out the Egge burial mounds. It was propably the latest burial mounds and viking chieftain seat, since these mounds are from after the christianization in Norway. It is from the end of the 11th century. Also a huge petroglyph site not so far away. I am from this area, and it is not far to the Leka viking ship dated to 700 AD that is being researched now tofind out if it was a sail ship or not. I think there still is a lot to find in Trøndelag and that Egge/Steinkjer was a pretty important place in the viking era. It just never gets any attention :) With your knowledge, it would be fun for you to do an episode on the Egge and Innherred viking history and archeology finds. Egge Museum is next to the mounds, and there is usually a viking festical for familys and kids there during summertime. There is history going back 10,000 years here =) thanks for all the great videos and information, and keep up the good work :)

      The Frankish tribes(Batavii, Chamavii, Sallii etc)all originated in the netherlands. The Frankish language is also "old dutch" and the dutch are ofcourse germanic. Karel de grote(Charlemagne)was "old"dutch. This is also why middle Frankia was his favorite kingdom out of the three (west, middle and east). It's also why the netherlands was called the batavian republic for a while, before the fake "Franks"(the french)under the Italian napoleon destroyed it.

      You're right. the Germans as well as the Dutch, Austrians, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, English, Icelanders, foroe Islanders and to an extent the Swiss, are all collectively Germanic. "Germanic" is an umbrella term used to Identify the shared culture, language and faith as well as blood or ancestry that the people who inhabit scandinavia and north Centeral europe have in common. All of these referenced are Germanic. But yes Germany is just the name of the country of which ethnic Germans or Teutons Which are comprised of many Tribes mostly Saxons inhabit.

    Frisians =/= Dutch though.
    The Dutch were mainly Franks.
    There is also a big difference between Frisii from Roman times and the Frisians from late antiquity/early middle ages and afterwards. Most Frisii left the Frisian lands at some point and were replaced by Anglo-Saxons.
    The main reason those people were still called Frisian is because the Franks called them that in reference to the tribe that inhabited the same place when the Romans were still in Germania Inferior.

    Big fan of the channel, I am grateful for all your work. Thank you for always including The Netherlands in your video's. Today I visited, what I think is currently the most sacred pagan location in The Netherlands, which is Woensberg (Wodan's Mountain or Odin's Mountain) it is a raised hill also called a table mountain. In the Netherlands, table mountains have been regarded as sacrificial mountains since the 19th century. Whether all table mountains in the Gooi have such an origin is unclear, but a number of the hills date back to at least the Middle Ages because they are mentioned on the 10th-century property list of the Werden monastery.
    Dutch table mountains that would have been used as a place of sacrifice are found on the Tafelbergheide between Huizen and Laren. There are the Aalberg, Tafelberg, Sijsjesberg, Eukenberg, Woensberg and Leeuwenberg (Venusberg). Furthermore, some disappeared hills near Hilversum may have been table mountains.
    Since 2014, in addition to recreational, ceremonial meetings have taken place organized by the asatru community.
    One question that has been on my mind, I hope somebody can help me. In Dutch the Wednesday is called Woensdag after Wodan/Odin and in English as well but in Germany the Catholic church changed the name Wotanstag with Mittwoch. Why did the church changed it in Germany but not in The Netherlands or England?

      My best guess is that we see so many stories from England, Ireland & France that have a running theme- a very important, powerful, wealthy Kingdom lies on a coastal island or is safely behind a dam that holds back the sea, but someone fucks up & the whole place is flooded out & is gone. Although only one or two are famous-ish, we have tons of these. If this was just a common Celtic or Atlantic Coastal storytelling trope & the Greeks colonized the Iberian Peninsula when it was still Celtic, then I guess that may have been where Plato got the inspiration for it.

      Yes, I had the same thoughts. Sort of like the Ziggurats found in ancient places around the world. I would be curious how similar the engineering is for these flair roofed temples, and if they evolved from the same time periods. It is easy to assume the locals built theses temples, but that is not always the case. Didn't the Rus invite Italian builders to construct their Orthodox Cathedrals? Is it farfetched to consider eastern nomadic conquerors and traders may have brought unique engineering methods to help construct temples in Europe? Would enjoy learning more about how this landmark came to be based on the known history of nations/migrations/wars at the time.

      Christianity at this time was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Roman empire. The CEO of Christianity was the Pope. Christianity followed the same expansionist aggressive approach that the Roman soldiers did. They call it conversion but it was either by force or coercion. I feel the same way when I think about what was done. In this case you can leave the Jews out of it. The phrase judeo-christian came much later.

    When i was in lower school we had patriotic history classes where all history that was taught was about the old times of my own people's and things relative to us.
    Our school director would tell us the most amazing stories and i remember clearly how he told us about bonifatius hacking our sacred tree in Frisia.
    As a child I would go to stay at my grandmother who lived in Drenthe close to Frisia and we would walk across the street straight into our old forest or what remains of it and go see the real hunnebeds (there are some fake ones too but everybody knows which ones are real and which are fake). My aunt still lives there because she's lived there her entire life, one day I will inherit that place but it will have to be devided amongst me and my two sisters so none of us will live there again sadly

    In the Netherlands there used to be an old sacred place in Barger-Oostveld that lies east of Emmen. Where they dug up a complete small heathen temple in 1957. You should check it out it's amazing. You can see it at the Drents museum in Assen and there is also a replica in the Hunnebedcentrum in Borger. It is way older than the viking age though but it's still pagan.

      I would start by listening to a lot of Heilung and visualize the above lyric from their song Krigsgalder. Use nature as your shrine. There may be places local to you that are considered special in some way. Visit older archeology sites to get a sense of history.

    Thank you so much for a very informative video. The Christians have a lot to answer for. It's a pity they had so little respect and tolerance for prior religious observance. If an observance elevates human experience, perhaps it should be tolerated. I would draw the line at human sacrifice though, that should be forbidden, but then that is just a modern aversion to the practice, perhaps it was accepted and venerated as the ultimate expression of religious devotion in the cultures that practiced it. I don't know how it was viewed by those that did it.

      @ctiradperunovic 4 місяці тому +2

      Most likely yes, for example the name of the Baltic thundergod Perkunas comes from the same root as the word for oak in Baltic languages, or the Slavic name of the thundergod Perun is used in some Slavic languages as a term for a storm as well. Thus there is more evidence for an Indo-European relationship within oak-storm.

    In my time with the viking community, I notice a lot of hate and animosity towards us Christians. I used to feel ashamed of being Christian because of it, but I never converted because to do so would be spitting on my entire family and our beliefs. I chose against it because my family has been Christian for 1000 years and to convert to my ancestors would be betraying all of them. I have always sought to honor both my pagan ancestors and my Christian ones because both had good people worthy of remembrance. Recently, I've started to learn more about Christianity after the Viking Age. Kings like Otto, Harold, Baldwin and Baldwin IV, Bohemond, Richard, Edward, and others have become personal heroes of mine alongside Widukind and Redbad. All of them were Christian and some of them, namely Richard and Baldwin IV, are among the greatest kings I've ever heard of. Their tenacity, bravery, and utter defiance against the most insurmountable odds are more legendary than the feats of Charlemagne. And these men make me proud to be a Christian and not ashamed. Our goal shouldn't be to focus on one side of our ancestors and one history, but rather to focus on all of it and learn from all of these ages. To take the good from each of them and remember the mistakes they made. I'm grateful for people like you who teach us about our pagan ancestors and teach us their religion and how they believed and lived, but I'd also implore everyone to do research on medieval Europe too. The effect that the Danes and Norwegians had in the Crusades are among my favorite pieces of history. From a proud Christian with pagan influence, may my God and your Gods watch over you.
