Aldeigjuborg: The Lost Viking City near Europe's Largest Lake 

Well.... Yeah, I guess, for RU-vid, but if you want in-depth material, get thee to a library or bookstore.

@@spacelemur7955 Whatever troll.

Så kanalen är svensk alltså...!? Första gången jag stöter på den....bra video👍

XAXAXA! Just like in Sweden we say "Ei saa peittää" in Finish. Which means "Can not be covered" written on elements in many Swedish houses.

And "rrø'grød" "må'enmæd" and "li'e ud" is the best Danish I can muster.

As a Dane that plays Tarkov, I'm not repeating any of that beyond a 'Davai' but I must give credit for Sobranie Black Russian - the cigarette that removes radiation in STALKER games - and quite possibly in real life.

Haha! :) My only Russian stems from and old sign on trains that said Ni plivat na poll! (maybe somewhat misspellt?)

​@@Fistfury42u mean radiators lol

All The best, Montreal!

stalin sent all of the natives in (also) this region to the gulags or the front. the same way putler is now emptying out siberia of siberians. the finnish and baltic borderlands of russia have been russified in the last 100 years by imported russians Muskovite emperors have always used war to clean out "unwanted" men. think about it: if the non-russians die fighting for russia, its still 1 less non-russian. its a win-win for putler and the rest of the nazi emperors. hitler did the same

Holmgård/Holmgarðr = enclosed isle Holmgarðir = isle enclosures (plural as in many enclosures on one or many isles).

coming in a few months :-)

Sortavala isn’t a Finnish city, it was founded by Russians in 15th century

Interesting theory. Might be true. However, names of first Ruruikids were indeed Scandinavian: Igor, Oleg, Olga etc

what nonsense is this?

"Laatokka" is a borrowing back into Finnish from Slavic "Ladoga", which itself originally came from the older Finnic names mentioned at the start of the video either directly or through the Norse form of the same name.

@@jokemon9547 In other words, it's a Finnish lake, surrounded by Finnish tribes and any name other than Laatokka is just a foreign version of the Finnish original.

@@jannevellamo pronunciation is the only difference really, it is known in linguistics that "T" and "D" commonly change place.

@@mister4701 Finnish doesn't use a lot of D and G, both of which are in the name Ladoga. That means those letters have been inserted into the name by Russians, for whom they make the name easier to pronounce.

@@jannevellamo You forget that the Russians had a written language hundreds of years before the Finns, either way it doesn't really matter.

@@B_SEP_23_FrancescGarcia is there any harm in having interest to a place, in relatively quite proximity to the "advanced rest of Europe", that still held their own special customs and very different way of life, climate and circumstances? P.S. Karelia/Ladoga isn't in located in Scandinavia, just to nitpick

Mieszko znaczy bjorn takze polacz fakty

We got caught up in some traffic and saw this Slav and Viking festival when we left Germany. Forgot the name of the place. Crazy roadworks made it worse and delayed us.

thank you very much

It is "the realm of enclosures" to be exact. If the enclosures were high walls or not, or what material they were built with is not specified by the word it self. It can be any type of enclosure. Even a low fence made out of wicker work, or any other type of wodden fence, can be called a "gardr" (that is where the modern Swedish words "gård" and "gärde" comes from). The wall around the human world, Midgardr, was made out the eye lashes of Ymir - it was still a "Gardr". However the settlements along the rivers of the eastern interior were often heavily fortified, not uncommonly with earthwork and timber palisades (at least to begin with, later on even stoneworks), in a way that do not seem to have been very common in Scandinavia. These fortified settlements were known as "Grad" in Slavic language and it still carry the meaning of "city", "castle" and "fortified settlement" in Slavic languages. One can not help to see the similarities between the Norse "Gard" and the Slavic "Grad". Therefor the meaning of the more specific Slavic "Grad" is often used instead of the more generic Norse "Gard" when specifically translating the word "Gardariki". So "realm of enclosures" or "realm of fortified settlements"...

“Realm of fortified enclosures” …So, basically realm of castles.

That's a nonsence, there little stone walls in 'Gardariki' to be found, because there is little rock suitable for wall buildings.

@@chriswren1825 no, maby look up the definition of castle

@@grandetristesse3370 given the fact Russia is literally the Gardariki of sagas (Ladoga, Novgorod, ect)

Я сейчас потешествую по древним речным путям в России. Когда-то мечтаю дойти по старым маршрутам в Балтику до Бирки, Рюгена и Худебю.

Inkeriakin.

No jos tää meno jatkuu ni päästään noistä kohta kinaamaan.

Permissä tavataan

7 millions Slavs live in Ingria, so I wish you good luck trying to assimilate this land back😂

there was no point for Norwegian go East, unless they wanted glory and wealth :) I know one - Harald Sigurdsson , great man

But before then, in the early bronze, there was an Indo-European Corded Ware culture, times have changed

Je kan de groeten krijgen

Groethe = greeting ?

It's just Indo's way of admitting that they stole the history, they just cant mention Finns, no matter what. Most often they actually call Karelians Swedes. Russians are also masters at changing the past, Bosheviks viped out the past in industrial scale. There is no room for Finns in Orwellian New World Order.

Хуй вы пососете финнф, а не Ладогу с Онегой поимеете...)))

maybe hes jamaican swedish ever think of that retard?

He is swedish, i hear it

YES HURRAH LETS TAKE IT

yep , we can send some troops overseas to help you with that in no time . Ingermanland is Sweden . Skal

They didn't conquer anything.

Did you check the description of the video? I saw a couple of ruzkie names... Or was it just that it didnt fit your narrativ?

Российские статьи полный пиздеж! И вы это знаете! Вы и есть fake!

​@@uranusismightybig5111 нет, я не читал описание и нет, я не имею никаких нарративов, по этой теме. Просто по последним данным между 753 годом и 10 веком Ладога еще как минимум дважды уничтожалась и отстраивалась заново.

​@@lunohodpashenskiyinteresting... Apparently their was fierce competition on the trade routes up north between Finnish-Ugric, Slavs and Scandinavians. To imagine Viking bands passing thru the river and using the place as a supply base, that in turn turns into a market for local people and later grows into a small trading town....is not very hard. And neither is the thought of local leaders, seeing the riches of the trade, and wanting to control it for themselves... It all makes one wonder what kind of life one would of had if one was alive then.... History is so fascinating!

@@uranusismightybig5111 Definitely during wet decades the inland transverse by the Vikings and others by rivers and flood lets has been proven if not yet accepted. definitely you are correct and maybe even more than you say.

ah yes swedes exclusively invented the idea of burying people in mounds, pyramids were also brought to egypt by the aztecs etc

Поэтому викинги нанимались на работу к нашим князьям?)

it's middle East , not Europe

Harja is ultimately a Proto-Germanic word meaning hair. See how similar even the English form is - hair.

rightful danish territory

@@balticempire7244Nah, op ewig ungedeelt. Keep shopping tho, need dat kroner.

Population of Norway: 5.4 million people. Population of St. Petersburg: 5.6 million + a couple of million people in the region. Let's then annex Norway to St. Petersburg. 🤗🤗

Not really Ukrainian, Aldeigjuborg and the possible state around it was connected but separate to the one around Kiev. Moreso than anything it's Novgorodian history, with Novgorod today being part of Russia.

​@@balticempire7244ukrainians prefer not to ignore that Rus didn't start from Kiev

@@balticempire7244 As you mention in the video, according to one version of events, it was the first place ruled by Rurik, who had sent men to capture Kiev ahead of his personal conquests. They revolted against his successor, Oleg, who killed them, after which Kiev became the centre of the Rus polity. By this account, the Rus capital moved from Aldeigjuborg to Novgorod to Kiev in the space of twenty years. I don't personally believe this precise narrative, but it seems that the princes of Kiev did come to be overlords of all Rus, Aldeigjuborg included, at about that time.

Gotland is a Swedish island dough, where the main settlement of the Swedish vikings was located...

Gotland is Sweden

my ancestors were Swedes from East according to my family legend. I did DNA test finding huge matches from South Sweden including Gotland , some from Denmark and not a single Norwegian ... ah , forgot Islandic . So Scandinavians were there when even Russia did not exist .

All Ukrainians: Finns are Mongols xD

🤡

Kyiv is newspeak

@@gachimane I wouldn't call something that is 1000+ years old "new" speak, but you do you.

Russia(or rather Muscovy) wasn't even a thing until the Mongols left in the 12th century

It's amazing they let you out of the 5th grade. The Russian word for lake is _'Ozero,'_ latinized.

​@@ezekielbrockmann114ladoga is the Russian name of this lake. It does not mean lake in general ....lol

In Old Russian this lake was called "Nevo". "Ladoga" was adopted later.

And it is not logical to you that the Russian Slavic name might be influenced or borrowed directly from Finnic or through Norse, who themselves borrowed it from the Finnic people who inhabited the Ladoga area long before Slavs appeared from the south and Norse came from the west?

😂

support your claim , brother . 🍻

The Norwegians lived in fjords. Vikar is still the exact same word to this day, in Sweden. Norwegian vikings went to Scotland, and Ireland. The Danes to England, and the Swedes went eastwards to, among other places, Lake Ladoga. They where all Norse Vikings, and you are talking a bunch of bull-crap.

@@the_hate_inside1085 Therer where no Vikings and Norse? No not at all in the Baltic Sea but there was an baltic sea culture the Varangians an mix of swedes yes Ruser and of other coastal people, fishing, traiding and raiding. An friendly coallition of tribes the swedes by them selfes went no where, finns where the first ones connected eastwards knowing the routes "swedes" where invited as times had changed to be of more hostile other people where seeking for an dominance taking land, slaves and demanding taxes. Well, you might be as butthurt but this is it.

@elham9010 You got it all mixed up, Rus, was the locals name for the Varangians, they are the same people. Rus originates from the norse word "to row", which is what they called them, basically " the ones who row". They were not a Baltic sea culture either, they originated from what is "Roslagen" in today's Sweden. They settled in the Baltics, but that in not where they originated from...
