      I was born and raised in California, but my family is from Gothenburg, Sweden. I am so interested in my heritage; a heritage that has been pushed out of popular culture here since many Scandinavians immigrated here in the early 1900's. The more I know about the early vikings the more I can push out my chest in pride of the blood that runs in my veins!

    This series is quite interesting, I refreshed my knowledge and added to It . I understand the importance of Estonia’s big island, but kept waiting for mention of Latvian Vikings, specifically those that resided in the part of Latvia called Courland (Kurzeme), but it never came. Also the bay of Riga has the Daugava providing a way quite far into Russia, and it also was not mentioned. In various museums in Europe, a certain quantity of Viking artifacts come from Latvia. I hope that in a future version of your very informative series some of these omissions will betaken care of.

    1:58 am. My third time watching this series since it came out and every time, I have to watch all 4 together because you’ve put it together seamlessly. Even down to the steady escalation in strength of your drinks.
    You son, are an excellent teacher and I’ve sent this to some of my friends.
    Funny thing though. I don’t think that most of them finished the first episode. I never got any feedback. Whereas, typically, there’s loads of it along with some interesting opinions.
    That’s how you know that you’ve laid down solid foundations for real educational information. When you get radio silence from science deniers the quiet is as loud as a hurricane.

      Check out the brilliant video from Langfocus called "Viking Influence on the English Language" to see how much the complicated and highly inflected West Germanic Old English was changed through this long lasting contact with the closely related North Germanic Old Norse in the Danelaw region in the North and the East of England.

    I am a professional historian, and an old man. I CRINGE when I see the young people of this generation say such BS about there not being enough original material from history to study. In fact, it is LITERALLY like the last scene in Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant was locked away in an avalanche of boxes. 95 percent of all the historical documents have NEVER BEEN READ. If you want to check this out, go to a major archive and ask them. No one knows what is in ANY of the National Archives anymore, let alone the Vatican. It is this way all over the world.
    The GREATEST problem by far for future generations is that no one is being taught to read script (handwriting). I can read a handwritten letter upside down at speed. Not teaching THAT is going to make future research very difficult.

      Thank you everyone. No one will ever love me again like he loved me. I wasn't there for him when he needed me. But I prepared his body, and ever since he died I have done everything I possibly can to make amends for everything I've done wrong. I have so many regrets but he deserves the best. He was my Viking chief. He always will be. And he was an amazing death metal musician/guitarist/composer, so I absolutely have a drum to use. I've done my due diligence. I just wish everyone could know how special he is.

    This is a fantastic documentary thank you!! I studied a year in Sweden at Stockholm Universitet - political science, and I had the opportunity to travel around and see these places you talk about! Vikings have a fascinating history! I was intrigued that a thousand years ago, social arrangements were so healthy and normalized without the church, so when people got married they just exchanged Combs they had made! A wonderful culture and a very enlightened people, that always drew me to Sweden :-)

    Great video. I'm aware that the Viking age was technically from 793 - 1066CE, but personally I consider the Vendel era part of the Viking age. When you consider that we now know Swedish Vikingar were raiding in Eastern Europe and Russia at least as far back as the 740s - 750s. The Danes were raiding Frisia and other places during the Vendel era. Norsemen of every kind were traveling, trading and raiding all over Europe centuries before the "Viking age".

      @@hilti4632 where are you getting this information? The Norse were an amalgamation of Germanic tribes that inhabited northern Europe for thousands of years. There's a bog body from the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland, Denmark) that dates to 8,000 years ago. Also, Cimbria is the ancient name for Denmark. The Dacians were a separate people from around what is today the Carpathian mountains. If you're referring to the Goths you've got it backwards. Historians think the Goths may have come from Gotland(Largest island of Sweden) or possibly even Götaland(kingdom in southern Sweden). Gotland and Götaland both mean 'Land of the Goths'.

If you could memorize, you could get all A's, but you didn't learn much. I learned more about history in literature classes where they would teach you about the writers and what was going in the world that affected their writing.

      @@lucindahumphries4702 I am a professional historian, and I am SORRY that most people experience history that way. I read original letters and diaries from eye witnesses for my living, and to me, history is a living, breathing thing. Most of real history is composed of average people getting on with their lives.
      Now understand me:Dates are VERY important, because they allow you to see the BIGGER picture, in that you see what is going on in different places at the same time, or in sequence, showing how one event lead to another.
      Example: If your lover cheats on you on a Thursday and you catch him, and you hit the crap out of him with a frying pan on Friday, what haqppened when is important.
      Oddly enough, I taught college, so I am amused in that I cannot recall EVER asking any of my students forthe date of ANY event. In university history, we ask you to comment on the BIGGER picture.
      For your sake, it is better for you to know the dates BEFORE you take the test, because we ask you to explain a larger event, and the dates help you to put your argument together.
