they are way more detailed and beautiful than the mainstream gives the vikings credit for. these were very talented craftsmen.
@Big Bill O'Reilly i would say all modern times people, including my self. But i'm craftsman my self and know what kind of effort things can take without power tools, that's why i admire them.
@@askoseppanen3779 check this, try not to droll very much :) czcams.com/video/dRbdHM826yg/video.html
part 2 is here czcams.com/video/mMry4auxlNc/video.html
The guy in the middle is craftsman who build all these replicas.
Look at the history channel show “Vikings”. Literally no Vikings wear these beautiful helmets, or helmets at all for that matter. And instead of mail or padded Armour, they have them these weird modern biker leather gear lol
Big Bill O'Reilly alrighty then
@@KristinkaAranova lol yeah, mainstream stuff
Those people, our ancestors in scandinavia were true craftsmen!
I always wonder how they did all those beautiful decorations.
No internet or TV and very long winters.
well think of all the time you spend watching tv or spend on the internet, they didnt have that, had plenty of time to sit and perfect stuff, not that fascinating really
Well that would be obvious right, no tv and net and you will be a master smith or jewel maker lol. No way, these crafts need years and years practise and you still may not exceed the level of a master
@@askoseppanen3779 You do understand they went years and years without TV and the net? In the absents of other distractions they practiced what they liked to do. That is how one becomes a masters of whatever they do. Why the LOL thing?
@@askoseppanen3779 no tv and no net with years and years of practice, exactly my point....nothing else to do gives you plenty of time to perfect a craft
Vallsgärde and the Uppsala area in Sweden are well worth visiting. Uppsala was the place were the big temple dedicated to the god Frey was situated. Nice video !!!
nah it was dedicated to the norse gods.. sweden was known to be blessed by frey because of the nature/landscapes... odin or oden in swedish and frey once lived in uppsala as real human beings, think of odin as a messiah a norse jesus christ and you will get the idea hes the founder of the yngling dynasty and frey was part of it.
as a sword collector AWESUME. THANKU. .LUV IT .ITS MY PEEPS ALSO. SO THANKU AGAIN
I’m a swede with a huge interest in early medieval history and have seen some of these helmets live before but the sword with the preserved sheath and rich decorations I have never seen before! It’s awesome! Such a rare find. Thank you so much for this video and the great pictured!
That shield was massive, the ones used in the vikings TV series are small compared to this one! The level of detail in the swords is mind boggling and the chain mail face covering is something I never knew they used with the helmets. Amazing.
I think the big shield was the one that hang on a ship, it’s too big for a man to carry unless it was Hercules.
So incredibly decorative
those helmets looking insanely menacing and cool
Fantastiskt! Greetings from Sweden! 🥰
This is crazy awesome. Thank you. Really great detail on the swords.
Incredible just how similar they are to the sutton hoo burial artifcats in style, even the same materials and precious stones!
We just found a viking settlement along the Niagara river in western n.y., so far we know that there were over 200 vikings and they lived and intermingled with the local natives. We are in the beginning phases and expect much more.
Any documentation about this?
Seriously? So they did go further - I knew it! Is that further south than Maine? Because I have read before that there were some artefacts found as far south as Maine!
There is no evidence that anyone is investigating a potential viking settlement anywhere in New York.
There was a crank claim of a viking ruin on the Hudson River 3 years ago, but it was debunked by Columbia University, which denied the article claim that university archaeologists had been the first to investigate the site. No such site exists.
There are vikings in the US, but they are in Minnesota, and they play professional football.
Boyd Grandy From a Swede in Minnesota, those “ professional “ players are Not Vikings !
There is evidence of Danish Vikings in Paraguay. Look up Vikings in Paraguay.
Things like this are very useful for those of us who draw and paint.
They go a long way toward a person being able to give an accurate representation of a time long gone.
Chainmail beard. On a serious note the workmanship of Viking artifacts of this quality always amazes me. I'd say on the same level of craftsmanship as many Japanese blades and fittings (except for a few exceptions). That's just my opinion though.
Detail is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Every bit counts. Thank you for this delightful tidbit. Well done.
Thank you for showing me, my history!!! Great Vid!
Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for sharing this. I really appreciate the closeups. What amazing work they did. So intricate. Maybe my eye for artistic detail came from my Viking ancestors.
Wow thanks for sharing that was brilliant I enjoyed that.
Brilliant video and commentary, thanks!
Thank you Phil, great expose.
Really cool .The Metal work ,the Revits they used .Also the Art work is beautiful .Its amazing something that old survived .
Nice video, craftsmanship superb! Beautiful detail!
Cool exhibit, thanks for sharing Phil
Wow! Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful pieces! Fascinating.
Exceptional video! Thank you for posting this!
Absolutely astonishing. thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for the video. Amazing metal work.
Thank you for this, I will find it useful in my wood carving. Most appreciated!
Glad I could help! Happy carving
Great video. The leather scabbard was beautiful. Never seen anything like that. Thanks for filming it and putting it on youtube.
Thank you. Started carving about five months ago and now am carving in cedar posts and I was about ready to start putting down one with Viking swords so the Hilt on the video help me a lot. Floki made me want to Carve.
This is an excellent video. Thx for sharing. I would have loved to see that exhibit.
Very Well Filmed and Produced ! First Class !!!
Fascinating! Thanks for making this video
Wonderful, thank you for sharing.
Great video Phil, wish I had the time to make the trek to see that exhibit in person. There are several great videos on CZcams right now showing how it was possible to make plank shields as thin as 1/4 inch thick at the boss, and even thinner at the rim. Completely changes common thoughts on how you would fight with a shield. Thanks again for another great video.
Thanks to the pandemic I’m not going anywhere. But I really appreciate the time you took to record these artifacts.
I’ve recently heard the sentiment repeated that a large part of the population can trace their heritage back to Vikings. Thank you pillage rape and plunder! We aren’t Vikings, but we carry Vikings DNA. History is so cool.
Amazing work in the preservation work ,bravo
Watching your video gave me a better understanding of those artifacts than if I would have seen them myself. Great video, I subscribed
That is amazing. Such detail.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. The updates on Aux site are changing history.
Awesome video and information, Thanks..
Dude...the craftsmanship
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! GREAT STUFF MAN!
Thanks to upload. Greetings from Italy 🗡️🛡️
Did you know that Swedes had contacts with south Europe already during the bronze age? The 2600 yo "Hassle treasure" in Sweden contained bronze age swords, bronze buckets and circular bronze plates from the middle and south Europe. The buckets were typical etruscan "ciste a cordoni"
Espectacular 👍enhorabuena por el vídeo
Very cool video...! Thanks!
Awesome stuff, great video
I just love Viking stuff as its a tale of our past !
Amazing preservation
Well done! Thank you very much!
Fantastic video!! I really enjoyed it!!
That Was beautiful thanks .
Thanks for sharing the info! Finally skipping the horns on the helmets that our Vikings never had.
Awesome! I'm going to this exhibit in Mobile, AL in a few weeks!
Thanks a lot man this is awesome
Thank you mate,very interesting...👍
Awesome very interesting looking into the pasted
This is long before the Vikings
just awesome, thanks!
excellent video, thank you
Thanks. I enjoyed this short video.
Look almost exactly like the Anglo Saxon artifacts from burial mounds in the UK. We have helmet made out of boars tusks from the Peak District near where I live, the famous Rendlesham Helmet from a boat burial and the Staffordshire hoard, same era pre Viking and post Roman. Magical stuff.
Thank you. Nice job!
I wonder how many people are surprised that the helmets don't have horns.
Nice video. I like this educational documentary style that you've been using. It looks very professional.
Thanks man!
Thank you Sir !

thanks so much for the vid. BTW who hits the dislike for this video, i think its cool that someone took extra time so anybody can see this amazing part of history
This was a cool display. It came to the Scandinavian museum in Seattle.
Nothing really started with the vikings. The scandinavians lived like this for thousands of years.
Fabulous video. Did not know about the Vendel period; if it began in AD500 then that's only 90 years after the Romans left Britain to defend Rome.
Really there is no distinct changes in periods. Scandinavians sailed before this and way after the Viking period. International contacts has been there long and already in this graves goods like silk from China and Persia was found. The change that occured around 800-900 was that travels was intensified.
Thanks, very interesting.
One thing that I found amazing was the similarities of the sword pieces of this and the Staffordshire Anglo-saxon hoard.
Well, there is more to say about similarity and especially origin: the shape of both Sutton Hoo, Vendel and Valsgarde helmets suggest that late Roman cavalry helmets must have been the major origin. In fact, you could see them as late Roman helmets with germanic decorations added on them.
Stunning.
Valsgärde (Vahls'Yeah'r'deh)
gärde = field, meadow.
Valsgärde is a grave field, farmyard near the town of Uppsala in Sweden.

It's an awesome sight to see actual pieces from that time period, it's funny some of the designs on the sheathe look similar to the Mesoamerican art.
Looks a lot like the Stton Hoo treasure from England
Fascinated with Vikings....
Good vid, It's a change to see genuine content rather than a mix with modern fantasies, thanks.
Well done mate
Awesome vid bro!
Thank you.
Dude love it i need to see this
thank you !
Awesome! Thank you
Amazing!
Original sources. Thank You!!!!
Low key kinda mad I didn’t know this place existed and didn’t know they had this exhibit on display last year.😤
The Ulfbert sword is a thing of beauty, demascus with inlaid designs
I was s bit suspicious when watching the sophisticated sword which was shown in the HBO series Vikings as King"s Horik from Sweden, I thought then it was too perfect, now I've seen these actually I think it didn't give it the right credit.
Sus 📮
The workmanship is astonishing. They look similar to Anglo-Saxon finds. and indeed, scabbards are rarely found.
Nice video, your camera worrk real showed those pieces well
Amazing artifacts. I'm surprised they survived after all these years.
Very similar to the Sutton Hoo in the sword details. A fascinating time with Christianity spreading but the Pagan Gods still part of the culture. This was a wealthy important figure. Fascinating!
Uppsala was the last part of the Viking society to get converted to christianty. Were I live in the South of Sweden there is a church from around year 1100. It stil has its original babtism fountain and it is very special with both latin and norse rune text on it.
The craftsmanship is beautiful. And just think done without the modern tools we have now like gas forges and power hammers.
can you make a video about the germanic iron age swords? I haven't been able to find any videos with any taking in detail about the them. us weapon nerds/blacksmiths would love this
Nice vid!!
Wow! I'm actually 5% Norwegian, and 5% Swedish on my father's side. It's good to learn more about my Viking ancestry. Arrrghh!
