Life and Afterlife: Dealing with the Dead in the Viking Age 

How do you offend a Nordic Scandinavian...? You call them Nor'wegian WEGIAN term is highly offensive. Like saying :Norn witch", witch are bitches. Should be Norns/NorNir Völva Seithr. Æsir aseer.

@@C.Noble13 the offence starts (w)ith a W...nordmann.. from norge/noreg compound word of nord-rike/rige nor(d)-r(i)ge = kingdom of the north :-p its like explaining to a brit why there is a k in knife....kniv

If you pay attention enough you'd realize that he stated his reason here 27:00 , these lectures are not to study archeology but to get to what it might have been at the time of the burial.

Viking trolls.

VredesStall it'd be ash

It was burnt

Yeah, sort of.

The clothing people wore was almost like a uniform of their trade, disclosure was important. They wished to be recognised as a member of a particular class.

@@dboydboy1000 They had passive aggression in those times, too.

They dressed them in their best so when they went the Helfing, they were judged appropriately. Just as the warriors were buried in their boots so as they went through the journey of the afterlife, they would take the east path. If anyone wants to REALLY know why, read the Lore. Read the Eddas, read the Heimskringla, most importantly is the Asatrú Edda. It breaks down the burial/ funeral pyre, and afterlife and the journey that is to come

Of course, he did. Crichton explains that in his novel (and is also listed in the credits of the 1999 movie, "The 13th Warrior").

I have never heard the expression "dark bliss". But in my dream I was standing in total darkness. Imagen the air but totally dark. This darkness was so warm, save,protective and so intelligent. I had filling that everything was done and nothing more need to be done. We (i don't know who aer "we"... probably another like me) communicated by intuition. There is more to the dream... but just to confirm that there is really place like that. Would you tell where I can read something more and who owns this realm. I was searching to understand where i come from...🌺

Interesting.

I heard that around the mid to late viking ages, these vikings were pretty much a very mixed peoples that came from all around Europe, so at this point the term Vikings must meant just a job rather than a race. But still the Swedes and Norwegians were the one who started it, thus the early Vikings must had been predominantly Northmens.

Indeed. Global warming.. Oh wait can't prove that.. Lets go with "Climate change"!

He definitely did say it was much lower now , they could get big ships in way back in their time .

The oceans of the world are obviously ignoring the politics of the time.

Hmm, I really liked this and gave it a thumbs up. Now I'm in the almighty algoritm of youtube and will get viking videos until I choke. Still a youtube fan though...

After seeing this lecture, Snorri's account of Thor kicking a dwarf into Baldr's funeral pyre suddenly makes perfect sense.

Their lies are starting to be noticed more and more

+Steven Wintersnight I agree with this. He fails to mention the draugr that are mentioned in the Icelandic Sagas. He also fails to mention the burials with swords that are bent or wrapped in loops as to take away their power. I believe you are right that they are trying to do rituals to both honor the person but prevent their powerful spirit from becoming a problem for the living.

Very interesting. Thank you. ....But was is "wight"??

Bwahahaha!

+Steven Wintersnight "Wights"... as in disembodied spirits who continue to occupy or dwell in the land. I seriously doubt these are human. Most likely demonic.

VredesStall maybe the spirits inhabit the corpse and bring it animated to torment the mortal realm

Emir: whoever you might be grieving, you are not alone dear. Please, I hope you can love your lost ones, but move on and have a beautiful 2022. I'm just listening to lecture now, but getting a lot from it. Anyway: I hope you've found peace and content. Loss is hard.

Thats really interesting. Horse sacrifice is also very common in Indo-European cultures from India to Ireland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_sacrifice

@@andzzz2 Finno-Ugric peoples had deep cultural exchange with Iranian cultures, maybe India, but its influence is negligible. The horse is not the sole deity in the religion and it varies based on which animal is the dominant in the region. Horse could be replaced by moose or reindeer. The other unknown tradition of Finno-Ugric religion is how much oxes were regarded as deity but it has been known via numerous accounts oxes too were sacrificed. The other detail is that oxes were used instead of horse to plough the fields which might be explained by households lacking horses for that task. As late as in 1936 use of ox to plough a field was documented on Estonian island Vormsi. Funny is that they were Beach Swedes who were forcefully settled there in 1206 by the Danish king, but it's a normal trend foreign settlers are forced into assimilation and embracing out cultural heritage and language.

Unlikely, since some of the more lavish burials were revisited and revised along the way. It recalls the use of plastered skull burials in Jericho from around 9000 years before Christ.

Denotation is the same. Don't get caught up in the connotation.

Didn’t know there’s more, Thanks ancestor

Try reading the Asatrú Edda. It will definitely help you

the word is not only used as a verb it's is also used as in "he was a great Viking"not only as "going Viking""it's also used in pluralis so not only Vikingr but also Vikingar in old Norse, it was also used in old English when the English Monks wrote about the Vikings, nobody know what it means , some historians think it means "people from the Vik" Vik means Bay/inland in old Norse and also in modern Scandinavian languages, others think it came from a much older word Wiking used in other places in the world sometimes meaning warrior, other times pirate, but there are words that seems to be the same or similar in many language but have absolutely nothing to do with each other "Glass" means icecream in Swedish ect." anyway Scandinavians today call them Vikings, our historians call them Vikings so maybe you can get used to using the word as we don't call them "old Norse" unless we talk to an English speaker

Yeah, or album, atleast.

Hey, there already is an album called that. I don't knw why it didn't register. It's called 'Likferd', and it's ... killah..!

I've always been fond of Angry Salad myself.

This I would also like to know.

MrStoptheEU not sure how you got that from this clip... what did the slave girl say again before she was killed?

Guess it depends on were and how your died

not according to the saxons before Charlemagne killed them for not converting, specifically because they would not be with their families if the converted.

Caleb Hanson She said she could see her relatives in the afterlife, according to Ibn F., not necessarily 'theirs'.. right? Gotta wonder.

My condolences 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😂

Glad you think so!

He actually stated his reason for giving reconstruction drawings instead of the real things here 27:00 because that's the point of his lecture.

Put a dry bar of soap in a net bag by your feet in bed at night

Don't know if that's fact or an educated guess.

Complete guess. Ibn's account is a one off and was very likely based on stories he'd heard about more likely than first hand witness.

That's what I was thinking it might be too

@@j.andrewpressley7650 Ibn Fadlan wrotes in vivid details, He was clearly living in the scene himself. Ibn Fadlan were still in the court of Volga Bulgaria when a group of Rus arrived. The thing is, Ibn Fadlan share his feelings in his travelouge not only applied to the Rus, but also for the some Turkish tribes He encounter and even for the Volga King himself.

Interesting idea, but I've never heard of such a concept. Hard to give birth when you have a huge hole in your head. The alchemical use of semen in India and China are similar enough to postulate that there was some kind of life-giving power to keep him strong in the afterlife.

Almost makes me feel like somebody is doing on purpose certain time marker

There are ... They're called Russians

Lots of heathens around we are not gone yet

There is no other sources to go by. Build a time machine to go back in time or discover a ground breaking viking archeological discovery smart guy.

And how do you come to your conclusion? It seems quite good for what it is. The point that each funeral was unique should be enough to counter your judgement.

Disgraceful.? Prejudice much?

Yeah, I'll take the lecturers word for it. Lol.

Hmm
