I really enjoyed your video. I first saw this film a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. This is straying a little away from Vikings, but if you haven't watched it, a good Disney film for a European warrior 'fix' is Bedknobs and Broomsticks which has a wonderful segment of historic British knight and warrior armour from across the centuries being animated with magic to fight against invading German soldiers in World War 2 era Britain. The atmosphere in the film when that scene begins is electric.
Im playing AC2 for the first time in 15 years and this game is CRAZY anti-Christ. Theres never ANY jews in the game neither funny how AC1-Revalations is in the Middle East, and there isnt ONE mention of Jews. EVER. AC Syndicate literally has Karl Marx as an Ally that you do side missions for.
Came here after your comment on my channel. Always like to check out what other people make. Cool thing you've got going here. Certainly interesting. Alot of that part of the worlds history is barely taught. Thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks mate! You really did a phenomenal job identifying the culture issue at the core of 343 btw. It's this sort of low-t energy, and a lack of ambition and love for gaming that's quite common with modern developers who have inherited audiences they resent.
2 Samuel 23:20-21 (KJV):"And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.""And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear."
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." Leveticus 17:11 [ spirit - means the breath/ life] So you see, the spirit of life is in the blood, and this is why if you drink the blood, you are taking in another spirit . Blood is Spirit, and that is the breath of life
You ever heard this Hebrews 13:2 (KJV): "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." [And sometimes it's evil angels we might be entertaining. ]
Berserkers weren't wolf skinned they were bear skinned. The Wolf skinned were the warriors of Odin a class above Berserkers. They were called Ulfhednar.
Very well made video. Good thing that people are still interested in the subject still. Norse peoples activities in America. back in the days I read trough all of the sagas. The Islandic, Greenlands saga and Hawks book. There is mention 6 voyages to Vinland. This is just fragments written down much later. Imagine If the US history should be written down first time just now. Much is lost. It is a oral side to this. I am from an Island south of Bergen Norway and work in the city now. I heard older peoples story that was like additions to the schools versions of this. People on the Greenland colony's was fishermen and farmers first of all. The ship you would see along the shores of Markland and New foundland would pretty sure not have dragon heads. This was wessels for trade. The Greenlanders lacking timbers and between lines you see if you read this sources that they probably sailed down south for it when ever they needed to. This period lasted longer than US have existed so just think about it. I heard that the common route was via Hudson bay, the great lakes ending up Mississipi. Leif Eriksons houses at Lance aux meadows was said in the sagas to be a good place to repair ships, that tells a bit of the hopes and wishes. This was trade. There was another place with buildings called Hop. Never found. When I hear places along the river routes in America like, "Husavik" Im stunned. It means the bay with the houses". Go dig. Hope you keep this interest up. Maybe science comes up with a better way to date stone so this will be put to a still. Norwegians do not care much about the runes because we have that graffiti all over the place here and it is in line and nature of those in America. How they did it. PS. Heavener stone. Experts say it means this or that, I read it translated as -Nomedal- My surname is Dahl (H is Danish, never mind), menas valley. Nome is like a terrain with creeks littered in it. It is not a landclaim just the name someone gave the place while staying there.
Thank you for sharing those details. Yeah it's a really compelling subject to be sure. Also cool to hear you're near Bergen. I spent a week in and around Bergen a few months ago.
@@northhugr You did ? Maybe tell me if you do something like that again, no need to pay for hotelrooms really. Anyway, as we speak about timer freight from America to Greenland I just read in a science magazine that new tec analyzes shows that samples of wood remains up there tell that the wood are gathered from many different places and most of it found in America. That is what you read between lines in the sagas. Think of the duration of the settlements, they had plenty of time to find all the waterways and develop relations with native tribes. They also find settlements from space and satellites so it is exciting to see ahead what they may come up with :-)
Thank you Jacob, I really appreciate hearing that. I'm not used to making projects like this that are so personal in nature, but I think has helped people connect with the stories.
Great video - I can feel that you put a lot of soul into it. I was also happy to see A Walrus in the video, a pleasant surprise in fact. Lots of love from Denmark.
Interesting vid. Europe and North America are both expressions of Westernkind, along with the Antipodes and [parts of] South Africa (although all aforementioned are presently under the rule of an alien elite intensely hostile to Western Civilization). Many nations, one race. The essence of a nation is determined by the biospirit that exists within a people, not the soil on which they happen to reside (e.g. if you moved the Japanese population to Haiti and the Haitian population to Japan, they would quickly recreate their biospiritual expressions in new locations: Haiti would look like Japan and Japan would look like Haiti). As great American aviator [of Swedish ancestry] *Colonel Charles A Lindbergh* said for the _America🇺🇸First Committee_ 80 years ago: *_“Our bond with Europe is a bond of race_* _-not of political ideology. It is the European race we must preserve; political progress will follow. Racial strength is vital; politics, a luxury. If the White race is ever seriously threatened, it may then be time for us to take our part in its protection…Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations, and therefore on united strength, for Peace is a virgin who dare not show her face without Strength, her father, for protection. We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood…“_
sad someone in the video felt the need to bring up Trans People and then push their narrow minded views out verbally. I was under the impression Norwegian people were more broad minded. ruined the video, I'm out. ;-/
"Broadmindedness" includes being able to give and receive criticism, also about personal aspects of people. I personally didn't hear anyone being rude or indecent in this video. Be broadminded yourself, listen to the entire video, and then properly explain what you think is wrong about the things being said.
That was great 👍🏼 No one needs the middle men/women within any religion to enable our connection to the divine. And we certainly don’t need any state to lead with their version of a moral compass, especially given they are owned by global corporate interests. We each have our own inbuilt compasses. ✨🫶🏻✨
Amazing video! You should be really proud of this. I'll share it across my socials. And yes, Norway IS still your home. It's never too late to re-root!
I'm around christian people in Sweden but sadly their brains are to often invaded since birth with cultural marxism etc. Those values tend to override the biblical and they explain and run around the biblical. Worship in a stave church every sunday might be part of the scandinavian solution! We just have to build 9000 more of them instead of more mosques.
Awesome talk on things i have been thinking about for years. Most pressing is finding a lutheran church with ceremony and genuine native expression, i kinda found one. I could not go orthodox mostly because they pray to saints but also other things you talked about like how overly slavic it is. Michael is sharp!
Despite my Catholic bias, I thought he had some decent takes. You should try to interview Iben Thranholm, a Danish journalist who converted to Catholicism. I wonder what her takes would be regarding Germanic folk ways and their compatibility with Christianity, specifically Catholicism.
