I miss the days when history channel and others had documentaries of this quality. KZread users make documentary films that blow multi million dollar film makers out of the water! Like this one. Bravo sir ! Top notch work

Here is something that crossed my mind . The British isles were also big time part of bronze age Trade network . A few days ago I was replaying to comment on this video . And I suddenly remembered about Cornwall . Because Cornwall has a long tradition of tin mining . The phonecians and later the romans imported a lot of cornish tin . And Tin are an importent part of bronze making . Bronze is created mixing the metals cobber and tin . So that tradition properbly goes back the bronze age . And a lot of cornish tin must have been exported out of britain during the bronze age . So cornish/ British merchants were also part of huge bronze age Trade networks

my grandfather discovered two bronze age graves on his property in Höryda, Sweden. he found other evidence of earlier habitation in his field while farming like flint tools and other artifacts. just thought you'd find it intereseting to look in to. his name was Ane Holmqvist in Höryda, Sweden might be hard to find but its a small village in Blekinge

Being a resident of northern Sweden, I immediately react to the fact that a mid-scandinavian border is being put as sort of frontier for the scandinavian bronze age. This documentary only covers the southern half of the scandinavian bronze age. Up north, there was a different culture, portrayed in this documentary as a "blank" area. Up here there are findings of the ananino bronze axes, an eastern type of axe, common among the fenno-ugric peoples, indicating an even further northern route of trade and influences, going between Sweden-Finland-Russia.

12:35 Just going to point out that the way languages works, it doesn't necessarily have to have been a "takeover" in the physically dominating sense of the word. I mean, consider how many languages today are incorporating English words, not because English-speaking people are dominating those cultures but because of a technological spread with English words pre-attached. Earlier in our modern history, similar in vogue-languages have spread widely not because of violence, but because of innovation. Here in Sweden, much of our modern vocabulary is borrowed from English (technology) French (in the arts and architecture) and German (craftsmanship) because those were the cool kids we wanted to emulate.

This is a great day because a news article came out talking about the 20,000 year old obsidian trade in Poland. By the way, a relatively recent book called "Who We Are and How We Got Here" by David Reich has asserted using data from his lab at Harvard that the Indo-European language was from the Anatolian HIghland and the Anatolian branch split before the ancestors of the Yamnaya north across the Caucasus Mountains to form the later (i.e. non-Anatolian) IE languages.

I think it's worth mentioning here that Snorri Sturluson claimed that the Ynglings (also mentioned in Beowulf where they are called Scylfings), said to be the ancestors of the viking age and earlu medieval Swedish and Norwegian kings, came from the land south of the Caucasian Mountains. That's not strictly speaking Anatolia of course, it's even further south. But it is right next door. Unfortunately SNorri lived in the ealry 13th century and the oldest direct source he was able to find was 8th or 9th century. That means there is no way of knowing when the Ynglings moved north to Scandinavia, it may well have been much later than the Yamnaya culture, and besides details may well have been seriously distorted after centuries, maybe even millenia of retelling.

Modern Macedonian is spoken in Macedonia and is more closely related to Serbo-Croatian and Bulgarian than Greek. Like for example: I'm Swedish yet i can read and understand Norwegian and Danish.

Scandinavia being an egalitarian society based around sexual selection by females is evident in their average height and symmetrical features as compared to other parts of Europe even though they have had the least access to nutrition. Females had rights and chose their mates based on sexual preferences(which in the classical age was obv. Tall strong good looking warrior type that women still fetishise today) Where as cultures hit by christianity first, the women did not choose their mates as often(patriarchy) and so a bunch of rich/powerful short ugly dudes got to procreate for thousands of years, leading to society that (on average) is shorter with less symmetrical features. IE. England Italy, ect. Its why people from Scotland and Ireland are usually taller and more attractive than their english counterparts. Makes sense anyways.

Fascinating stuff! great to see someone cover this largely-forgotten topic too. Thanks for this.

This is fake HISTORY. There is no Macedonian language. Macedonians (a tribe of Greeks) have been speaking Greek since ancient times. Please, correct it. You are supposed to talk about history and not doing politics. ΑΥΤΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΚΑ.

I just love your channel man. I hope you keep producing these magnificent videos because they are truly helpful !!

@Shaxx It got it's name in 20 century, when it was discovered and described. You dumb, lol

This is one of the most interesting mini documentary I have seen so far

Thank you so much for this video! Amazing work!

What a fantastic channel! Thank you for the video.

This is EPIC!!! The amount of raw research and scholarship which went into this documentary are incredible. Thank you, and color me impressed.

Alright I like the depth of the information, but let me say this: You should make the structure of your video more transparent, because at times it is not quite clear whether you're talking about general phenomena or the Nordic Bronze Age (which is, after all, this videos main subject). So, maybe in the beginning in the end of a sequence a little remark on how the up-coming pieces of informations is relevant to the subjekt! Thanks for the effort of uploading such great videos! :)

So nicely presented! As a critic, I greatly appreciate your video. It's simple but the presentation is excellent! One like and one subscription

great great great work like always and this time you hook me up with a topic almost totally obscure for me very nice job

Dude your chose of music is sublime, love your video. Keep the good work

Great content! Thank you for the video

Awesome work! It gives a sense of wonder and awe about the millenia gone past that most modern docs do not. Thanks!

You make the most amazing history documentaries,please do more Germanic history,Indo European invasion and early slavic texts and litteracy.

Nice video on a subject that is often neglected! Just a little correction: The boat-axe and battle-axe cultures are not distinct but one and the same. Boat-axe culture is simply an older name for it, and it has nothing to do with boats but boat shaped axes.

Fascinating. I learned a lot, and my curiosity about these ancient cultures is certainly aroused. Thanks!

Very professional! Great job guys!

Oh man I love this. Thank you

This is a shockingly good documentary. Thank you for posting

I really enjoyed this Video ! Keep the good work up man . Goes real good in the Background with Dawn of Man btw

Awesome as always! Keep it up please!

07:50 "In Scandinavia however, the population was simply never high enough to develop the same megalith traditions..." That's simply incorrect. There are plenty of megalithic tombs in Scandinavia. And flint mines too.

This channel “holds sway” over the other channels I’m watching recently 😀

Amazingly good channel. Great work

bless those channels that collabed for this

I'm very fascinated by history, and used to read a great deal of it until I developed a neurodegenerative disorder which causes, among other things, blurred vision and extreme sleepiness. You mentioned the Minotaur. Now I remember this creature from my studies, but I have never known whether it was a myth, a reality, or perhaps a mixture of the 2. Can you talk more about it and the story of the people who lived at that time, and what happened to them? I have heard they were destroyed by a huge volcano which sent a massive tidal wave toward them. But now I don't know if I've confused two different historical events.

Personally, I take a shot of whiskey every time I hear "Held sway". Cheers!

really great Video - Thanks so much

You are awesome. Brilliant, well spoken, I could listen to your docs all day. Often I do.

Had my DNA tested a couple months ago and found out I'm 92% Northern Scandinavian.

@@autumnicleaf I know that... I never said that europeans have no middle eastern genes. I never said something against it. And I know there weren't borders back then. So I don't understand why you said "naw". What I said is right, and so is your claim. We both right. We have no disagreement here. Have a nice day!

Just a thought: could these people's have been the Sea Peoples who decimated the middle East kingdoms and brought about the Bronze Age Collapse? It's interesting to think that if trading between Baltic and Black Sea was so prevalent and the Bronze Age lasted longer in the north there could be a possibility.

This is amazing videos, the quality is up there with the good old documentaries from BBC.

Well done! I love your documentaries.
