These videos are so impressive. So well done. I am of danish ancestry so these videos are like a time capsule over 1000 yrs old into the past of some of my ancient kin. I didn’t know they had knowledge of or grew corn on Jutland or in Northern Europe in the Viking age?
A long while ago I heard that the sails where made of 7 layers? It been some time since then? I’m wondering if they ever used felting for sails? As thats might account for the many layers?
I love your videos, they are great and well researched, but this one has a mistake I noticed... there was no corn in Europe until the XVI century it was brought by the spanish from Mexico, it was surely another cereal they planted, I believe barley was what they grew
You are quite right, but for the translations we always go for British English and corn also means grain, which is what the weaver is talking about in this film.
@@RibeVikingeCenterDenmark Correct. Maize is what got brought over from the Americas. "Corn" is British for grain. Us Americans call maize "corn" because of our British background in language.
