- Watch my latest history documentary here:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWd805iOkam3oc4.html So I got a little carried away with writing this one. What was originally going to be one video on Viking longships is now a trilogy... Part 3- 'The Last Vikings' coming soon... I feel like Peter Jackson...

I absolutely love it! Instead of one good video we have trilogy. It reminds me of G.R.R. Martin when he started writing ASOIAF he was aiming for a trilogy ;p

I'm half German and half Swedish. I had a Swedish mother and lived in Sweden for several years. I speak the language. When I hear Old Norse I can understand a little. I can also understand some Old Saxon when I listen to it. Icelandic is basically a continuation of Old Norse. It's interesting how languages have developed over the centuries.

A one hour video now? You're seriously spoiling us now. I can't imagine how much time it must have taken you man.

I also think the narrative is great! He just tells it like it was! Not a lot of opinions & add-lib! Very well put together and researched! Looking forward to more of these! Also very captivating, because I had to watch this in one viewing! Couldn’t walk away!

Thank you for being so unbiased and yet trying to showcase so much that so many of us are so proud of. Thank you for telling how Gamle Gorm united Denmark and how and why. Can't wait to hear about Sven Forkbeard and how he established the Northsea Empire just to die days later, and how it took Cnut the Great so long to reign in all the pieces again. Thank you, also, for listing the early leaders of the Great Heathen Army: Ivar, Halfdan, Ubbe, and Guthrum. All four are in the show Vikings, and each's memory is disgraced by the heresy that show has become. It is so nice to hear actual history and to hear it presented so well.

Interesting material covering Viking activity in Eastern Europe. I feel this part goes under the shadow of activity in Brittania or Frankia and it's nice to see more information about it. Hadn't figured out before that Vikings had to deal with greek-fire and the river systems of Eastern Europe are just crazy. I remember "The Age of the Vikings" by P. H. Sawyer, at some point he says that trade routes with the East were sources of so much silver in specific periods that the Vikings ignored the West for a while. Also, there wouldn't be "Vikings" if not for their boatbuilding skills. Very nice trilogy. So much better than Netflix series about Vikings...

Dylan Mac’s Bluesic. Not enough room. More than half your crew would be non combatants. Average crew forty to fifty men rowing benches around thirty men. Others resting,steering,navigating, carpenter, ship master,captain. Pretty much as the breakdown of a ship in the Georgian navy, I would have thought. Besides that they they wouldn’t have to row all the time once they had sail and they certainly would have used currents and tide. Just my opinion but you wouldn’t have useless hands if you were raiding.

For those interested in the sailing question, I'd recommend reading Boel Bengtsson's doctoral thesis: 'Sailing rock art boats: a reassessment of seafaring abilities in bronze age Scandinavia and the introduction of the sail in the north' - he provides (in my opinion) very solid arguments that sailing (& rowing) was present in Scandinavia for as long as, more or less, the introduction of metallurgy (~1800 BC).

I think youve done a great job of peicing together this history that Im comparing with other Histories of the Vikings in my search of my Scandanavian ancestry. Ive come to the conclusion that the Vikings were simply returning a few centuries later to the lands they had migrated from over generations. After studying the Parthian empire, Vandals & other Goths ive concluded that most Scandanavians came from the Parthian empire based on the Caspain sea after it fell to the Sassanids. They had a vast empire that was at war agaainst the Romans but the only kingdom that won against & didnt fall to the Romans & had a 2nd Kingdom base in Armenia. The Parthians were the first to develop chain mail which is seen in Scandanavia & the Knights not long after in Western Europe & other cultural things, including boats, that seem to have been adapted & improved

What is the subtle music in the very beginning? I love it.

Excellent video. Food for the creative brain.
