What a remarkable site. I have no doubt the archangel Michael resonated well with the Germanic warrior ethos. The ironwork art on the main door of Roglösa church in Sweden seems to have a depiction of Thor in battle during Ragnarök but with the wings of Michael. (although this is somewhat speculative based on the lack of fidelity in the figures)

So well done as always. The colonial era of Scandinavia is something I'd love to see more media explore.

Wow this is such an amazing site. Thank you for making this video. Southern Norway is such a wonderful place to explore and very windy! I had no idea about the Mølen burial mounds until this.

I have the same flashlight!

Fascinating! Thank you so much! I didnt realise the connection between St Michael and the locations of churches dedicated to him were built. Looking forward to the next episode. Regards from Australia, Andy

Thank you so much from Australia- that was super interesting. Have there been any excavations to see what is inside those mounds? Looking forward to the next episode. Regards, Andy

Let's reunite Norway and Denmark. The Swedes can stay outside.

Facebook: facebook.com/thenorthernhistorychannel Let me know if you have any questions on this topic, ideas for other trips in the comment section!

So the building at about 14 minutes is back in Norway now, in Orkanger where it once was made. And the Museum in Little Norway is as far as I know closed.

You started off mentioning a river. You sure you're not actually referring to a fjord?! There are not many rivers in Norway. Both my parents ancestors came from Norway.

Utrolig interessant film ❤

So interesting to see. I am a mexican born in the Mexico-US border, so I am no stranger to the mainstream US culture and ways, but when I first visited the northern part of the US, like North Dakota an Minnesota, I started seeing so many people that looked norweigan to me. Just a week ago I visited Minneapolis for a short stay and saw several references to vikings and Norway, so I started googleing and was shocked to understand why I thought that in the first place. After finding out that deep rooted connection, then I found this film. It's great it incorporates the producers' live opinions; as someone who has been in several countries and continents, I have had similar cultural shocks like the ones they (and probably the scandinavian ancestors) had; this country is still a very separate thing of the rest of the world. This material also pictures the reality of living in the US: In social studies we say "it's not good or bad, it just is", and the film pictures that sense of ownership which is practically the core of the "american" culture: owning stuff, in darker cases owning people, and even owning a culture or tradition, not meaning you are living it or even incorporating it to your daily set of values. Very interesting to watch!

Veldig bra, god innføring i båtbygging som vi ikke-kyndige har glede av.

- Are you going to watch the handball match on tv tonight? -I don’t know who’s playing? -Denmark Norway. -Who are they playing against?

Excellent job making this video happen! I am fascinated by this craft!❤

It was so funny when the old man put his arm around his wife as a way of saying "Shut up!! Let the men talk!" Lmao

I forgot how great this video is. From the production, to the writing, to the interviews, just all around brilliant.

If you want to know where to go, you have to know where you come from. We take all of todays knowledge and skills for granted but forget that it has been a long and hard way to gather all this. As the old Goethe said: "We think us so high and great and forget that we are standing on the shoulders of giants." Thank you for this great video.

This is SUCH a good video, DAMN (Comment for the algorithm baby)

Nice video 🎉

It is so great to have you back now moving from Stave churches to ships. It was the middle of the night here in Australia so I missed your Q&A session. Please more videos! When I visit Denmark once every 2 or 3 years, I spend lots of time at the Viking Ship Museum in Rosekilde. I enjoy sailing on the crinkler ships built there and watching the workshops where the ships are built. I can feel history reborn in front of my eyes. Thank you for including the Danish and Norwegian interviews. As an aside, are you going to make a series of videos following the build of the new Viking museum in Oslo? Warm regards from The Antipodes, Andy

nice video

Excellent filmmaking! Have you been to visit the viking ship build (klåstadskipet) at Sundvollen in Hole kommune? All the best, Lucas.

Thanks for all the questions. Stay tuned for Northern Journeys!

Nice work. If central and Southern Europe keep moving right and the Nordic countries stay Centrist/Left-Centrist - who knows - there might still come a time for the mothballed Nordic Union.

Almost all Norwegians have some family in USA.

Remember the livestream after the premiere, Monday 17. June! czcams.com/users/liveybt_0DGPQEU?feature=share

Wonderful- so glad you are back!

excited to see the project

Ah, du er fortsatt aktiv 🙏🏼

I am delighted your channel is back on. Looking forward to it. Warm regards from Australia, Andy

I cried many tears of joy . It sounds silly but it's powerful to me as a 4th gen Norwegian american

Glad to see this channel isn't dead! Discovered your content when I was living in Oslo. Your videos inspired some trips around Norway. 1000 Takk!

I'm looking forward to you upcoming video on the Viking Ship Builders. I visited the Viking Ship yard museum in Roskilde and was fascinated with the many different woods that were used in constructing these ships. Glad I didn't unsubscribe a year or so ago!!

Incredibly cool!

English speakers: The Norwegian and Danish interview sections require that you turn on the English (US) Closed Captions. Phew!

There'll be a livestream after the premiere if you want to chat about the ships, locations and other topics discussed in the film. czcams.com/users/liveybt_0DGPQEU?feature=share

Where can I look at the VR representations of the city of the past? Found it: oslohavn1798

Quite a few omissions and misrepresentations in this rather “norwegian nationalistic” angle on history.

They were Germans , they were all in with the nazi

Excellent film. Most impressive. I hope to see many more from Northern History.

Most excellent films. I will see them all.

Neat Documentary. My Grandparents on my Dad' side immigrated here to the U.S. --from Tromso, Norway 1905 -- my maiden name is (Lilleeng).

Bortsett fra det...jævla fornøyd. - Husker fra 40 år siden turer rundt i Oslo med Pål Hougen..men seffærn ikke alt.

Det du forteller meg er det jeg ønsker mene å ha forstått. At den handlende eliten tok med seg frihetlig kunnskap...fra 1776 og 1789 og selvfølgelig før det, og så var vi så lykkelig fattet at en frihetlig fra BEARN var så klar i nøtta (kanskje flaks) at vi slapp 1666Danmark - Å som jeg elsker å dusteeksemplifisere historiske greier. - En kjær mystisk hobby. Hilsen tiende latesomandregraden, og om den skal forståes opp eller ned...ikke spør meg.

Bunadspolitiet får fnatt😂

Marvelous, enjoyed and gained a little insight into the "World-view" in those days, we have'nt changed that much as Humans we still like a little Glory even though we won't admit it. Team-work made a dream-work for a while.
