Dr. DeadPool I can’t think of it off the top of my head but there is at least one civilization who’s mythology or belief also had a flood in in it. I want to say Greek but I just heard it. The difference was a king wanted to learn how the man, who was like Noah, become one of the Gods. He explained that he over heard how the world would be flooded and tricked the people into helping him build a boat. Told them he was moving away and the people couldn’t help any faster, they really wanted him gone. So the world flooded and the people died besides “Noah”. So the Gods rewarded him with Immortality for saving the human race. Listen to Mythologies on Parcast. Really great stories

It never ceases to amaze me that similarities in the creation myths. Many religions have common themes but different names, it just makes one wonder how the interpretations came about and what truth, (if any) could be derived from each. I bet the a culmination of a single truth from each religions creation story would in fact comprise a real origin story of humanity, it however, seems impossible to know which parts hold truth, and which parts are just very interesting story telling.

My guess is that in the next game Kratos will somehow obtain the Blade of Olympus again in order to combat Thor's Mjolnir. They've been hyping Mjolnir up as a "super weapon" that's unstoppable, just like the Blade of Olympus. It's the only way I could see Kratos beating Thor.

Mythology, for most parts, is a metaphor for birth and rebirth. If you take a closer look at Yggdrasil, you might realise that it actually represents the placenta. So, Odin hanging from Yggdrasil represents the process of him being reborn, hence the 9 days should be seen as the 9 months of pregnancy. Same goes for the other mentions of the number 9. It all revolves around birth and rebirth.

Love the video, well done!

It’s so interesting learning and comparing the similarities amongst religions

Ymir literally means "big sound". Nearly every name/place/god/dwarf/giant/elf has something like an adjective for a name. Many with pluralistic meanings that still do not contradict each other. Odin-the Mind/spirit/poetry/frenzy. One that wields the power of runes, practice seider, and so on.. (Runes are "words". Amidst technology run amok, the written word remains our species greats achievement.) The categories allow us to sort them all, and try to understand what the story's mean. Many of the story's hint at a deep understanding of the natural world- far ahead of it's time. Deep concepts of human psychology and pathology are also portrayed. It doesn't get really get creepy until you realize the story of "Balder" is the story of a man named "the courage" who lives in "Breidablikk". witch means "wide perception". Getting killed by his own brother, named "strife- the blind", and that this heralded the end of the "golden age", the great wolf that's chained by all of the most subtitle of things is emboldening as subtlety flees, and Ragnarok is already under-way.

I wanted to learn more about Norse mythology. Ever since I finished watching Vikings, I've been fascinated with learning more about them and their culture. I've watched at least 3 different documentaries now. None of which explained Norse mythology or their God's beyond Odin, Thor, Loki and Freya. Listening to this has been not only informative but intriguing and eye opening as well. I would have never imagined there were stories that could rival the ridiculousness of the Bible. I was very wrong. I will say I have been thoroughly entertained though. Also fun fact. The first time I ever heard of Odin was when I played Final Fantasy VII, as he was one of the summons. At that time I had no idea who he was. Pretty cool to think about a Japanese made game incorporating Norse mythology:)

Hey you! I'm just starting down this path & I wanted to share a cool way to look at those "stories that could rival the ridiculousness of the Bible" Lessons are taught as lessons today, although lots of lessons are hidden in music, movies, & media... Now before technology took over, books & tales were how lessons were shared. Now take that another step back, to before language had developed into what it is today & suddenly it makes some absurd ideas make a lot more sense! Just hear me out for a second... Here's a weird thought I have about that one Bible verse about two men who lie together.. but using this new perspective... What if before aids had been discovered & understood; they learned that men who had sex would die more often & made a tale to explain why that was a "sin" to prevent people from doing so

This was a very interesting video. Good amount of information in a reasonable time and I have a new passion for learning more about Norse Mythology.

Just watched Skillup s review of GOW Ragnarok, he said I should look up Norse Mythology and this vid was top KZread search. Glad I did, very interesting.

When it comes to Mjolnir, in most Northern European tribes they had originally considered his main weapon to be the axe. The whole weapon spinning thing owes itself a lot more to throwing axes in particular which explains why his weapon would have a short handle. Over time the whole thunder aspect is what probably influenced the tribes to change Mjolnir from an axe to a hammer, but with Mjolnir having been such an established symbol they still had to rationalize why it had a short handle. Thus the story of Loki turning into a fly to bite the Dwarf whom was forging it.

I recently discovered your videos and i'm hooked , you made me want to go and buy some greek and norse mythology books so i can go in depth. Thank you very much good sir!

Love Gothenburg, i live in Bifrost, the street from here towards the city is valhalla, and once u get in to the city your at Odins ”place”. Got Balders street and tons of more like it. You don’t need to go far at all to find runes and engravings in the mountains around the city. At some locations it can be kilometer large areas full of ”storys” written in the stones, and they have printed so you can actually read what it says as well

"Hel is the land to which those who due dishonourably go" Incorrect. Hel is where anyone who didn't get into one of the other halls go after death. It includes pretty much all common folk that didn't die in battle. Yes it includes the dishonourable too but they don't mingle with everyone else, depending on the life you've had decides what you get in Helheim.

You should do some reading and study to get more of an idea of what was, and is, dishonourable. Not fighting in battle didn’t automatically make you dishonourable. Yes a lot of dishonourable people go to Hel as well, but they get a very different experience when they get there.
