  • slatan ibrahimovic!!

  • By the way Vikings were not barbarians. The stereotype of Vikings is very wrong because they actually were not so dirty and savage as many people might think. And also, they never wore a helmet with hornes on it.

  • Nonsense. Calling everyone living in Scandinavia "Vikings" is lika calling everyone living in the USA between 1800-1900 Cowboys. Viking was something you did not something you was. You went Viking. Most scandinavians was farmers.

    Why interview only american researchers when we have an army of historians and archeologists, in Scandinavia?

    Another blunder from the producers is to exclude the greatest "viking" nation of all - Denmark. The Danes dominated the entire north sea and major parts of UK.

  • @PipewrenchDale If you read Heimskringla then you will see that Snorre used the word viking(vikingr) about Haakon Haakonson and his army that was the king of Norway in the 13 century.

  • @PipewrenchDale How do you know the fact that Denmark was the greatest viking nation? I will not argue with you, im just looking for a source.

  • First there were vikings. Centuries later there were countries named Norway, Denmark and Sweden, which didn't exist as countries back then.

    So it would be more correct to say that Denmark, Sweden and Norway are modern countries in what used to be Viking territory.

  • When do they get to the bit about Dragons, Shouts and the Greybeards?

  • hinger dinger dargan! wheres the leak mam

  • tumbs up for a heavy cool sounding documentary voice!

  • Norwegian, Swedish or Danish Vikings?

    They clearly were Swedes.

    The Swedish Vikings were much better organized and reached as far down as Constantinople, while also conquering large parts of what today is known as Russia.

    Sweden has controlled Denmark, Finland as well as Norway. It is the strongest among the Viking nations.

  • @scholion this is why you fail

  • @scholion You're dumb ROFL

  • Ah, 240p I see we meet again . . .

  • 1:21. They label Finland as part of Scandinavia but not Denmark? Wrong.

  • @204Archer only norway and sweden is part of scandinavia becuse scandinavia is a peninsula, but some people include sometime denmark or finland

  • @fjasserik We include them because they are our brethrens

  • @fjasserik Denmark would make more sense as it's language is related.

  • @fjasserik Scandinavia is not a peninsula, but fenno-scandinavia is. Fenno-scandinavia is finland, sweden and Norway, whilst Scandinavia is sweden Norway and denmark.

  • VIKING POWER/DANSKE VIKINGER JAAAAAA

  • SKANDINAVISKE VIKINGER!

  • Hey can someone with ancestors from poland and germany possibly have Viking blood?OMG I LOVE VIKINGS.

  • @TheRainPath

    As part of an international team of researchers, archaeologists at Aarhus University can reveal that a large part of Harold Bluetooth’s Viking army consisted of foreigners – possibly from Poland.

  • @TheRainPath

    au-dot- dk/en/about/news/single/artike­l/harold-bluetooths-vikings-we­re-polish-mercenaries/

  • @TheRainPath

    It was previously believed that Harold Bluetooth’s Viking army mainly consisted of ‘native’ Danish solders. However, archaeologists from institutions including Aarhus University can document via analyses of skeletons found at the burial site at Trelleborg on the Danish island of Zealand that many of the soldiers – possibly more than half – were actually foreigners.

  • @TheRainPath the vikings were everywhere...so yes you may have viking blood

  • Human savagery at its finest. Fought for the hell of fighting.

  • @QBisbest Actually they are said to not be savages like the bias Christians claimed. The vikings were traders, explorers and warriors. Back then everyone was savage. There was no such thing as political correctness. You fought for something. Stop being such a liberal anti-white asshole. You wouldnt last a minute in their world impure weakling.

  • @JoanBeatrington001 Oh please take your head out of your ass and calibrate your one tracked mind. I didn't even mention anything about them being white, I couldn't care less what ethnicity they were. What? Whites are suppose to be exempt from such societal faults? Because you're white? You narcissistic basement dwelling moron, get productive, because you won't change anyone's opinions over the internet, and I damn well know you do this daily, feeling as though you matter. Haha, how pathetic.

  • @QBisbest Wow let it all out buddy. Sounds like you got alot bottled up in there. Quite funny that you use youtube to vent. Get a life you insecure idiot. Crying about savagery and abusing people online. What a little pussy.

  • @JoanBeatrington001 Lovely. Are you really attempting to reverse the situation? You haven't even elaborated on any of my accusations, only pointing towards them being factual, but it doesn't take an elaborate mind to figure you out. I'm not patient and I'm getting bored, so I'm going to be candid about this. What do you want? Honestly, do you hope to accomplish something? Or are you as bored as I am? :) Different things entertain us, and internet arguments aren't my cup of tea, it may be yours.

  • @JoanBeatrington001 ''Anti-white'' what's that suppose to mean....

    I respect Greek and Romans civilization and they are Europeans, but not so much for vikings.

  • @Abdikarimelmi: Why do you respect Greek and Roman but not Norse civilization? All of them invaded other lands and took slaves and so on. All also made technological advances that influenced other cultures. 'Vikings' being primarily known for ship-making techniques that far surpassed any that were in use in the world and enabled them to travel long-distance in harsher waters unlike others at the time. Or have you fallen victim to the 'barbarian' myth ironically brought to life by southerners?

  • @mieroth Ship building? Really? I'll thank the Tunisian, Axum and Chinese.

  • @Abdikarimelmi: If you prefer to stay ignorant that's up to you. :)

  • American documentaries are terrible. They're light on facts and too dramaticised - which is probably why they're always narrated by the same guys who do movie trailers.

  • I have been inside a long house^^ haha

  • FUS RO DAH!

  • Nords are cool

  • I born in Thailand and become Norwegian,I love Norway and will die for Norway if i have too:-)

  • Riktiga jävla svennar!

  • SWEDES RULE!!

  • I am proud to be NORWEGIAN!

  • Vikings rullez!

    But they were not barbarians, yes, they stolen many things, but, normally they were normal people.

    And Norwegian vikings were pirates, but swedish viking were sellers, they swam to like russia, and other lands and they kept selling products.

    I really love their culture, too bad that christianity came to europe :C

  • Vikings were the biggest badasses in history. They would fuck the mongols, ottomans, romans and anybody else easily.

  • @Varangian1915 how about the roman empire? the samurai clans and the spartans :P the vikings were pretty tough but not the best

  • @franky1l actually the vikings took down 2 legions of roman soldiers and i think thats the reason they didnt invade sweden/denmark/norway :P

  • norway

  • THE VIKINGS WERE MOTHER FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

    we should start believing in the norse gods again

  • SNATCH AND GRAB Y'ALL! - Viking proverb

  • CANADA WAS VIKINGS AND NATIVES WE ARE TRULY GREAT WARRIORS

  • @skaterboyask if canada had vikings, they most probably were invaded by vikings from scandinavia.............

  • @TheTimpa92 well in the land i live in " on a reservation " we have a tale of DAR the berserker a He was a scotsman who made his way here and defeated all story says he ran into battles nude with only boots a shield and a sword

  • @skaterboyask dar sounds like a name coming from the north.......like norway or sweden. i think the vikings invaded great Britannia pretty often too

  • DANSKE VIKINGER!

  • Proud to be Norwegian. Proud to be Scandinavian. Proud to be Teutonic. Proud to be Aryan.

  • the Vikings literally owned the 7 seas at that time. no one dared to go up against them for years. they were the greatest of the warrior cultures in the middle ages. just imagine, being on one of those longboats, reaching shore, ready with your axe and lamellar armor, charging english troops. must of been feeling extremely epic and powerfull.. :D

  • "Sagas of exploration and conquest" So fucking epic, I'd love to live in that time and be a badass viking.

  • They say Scandinavia but shows fenno-scandinavia!

  • @MrShrapnelDK Yup and forgot Denmark as well.. They don't really understand but Im proud to be of swedish and finish descent and Im happy that they at least try. Otherwise really nice :)

  • skandinavia <3

  • So the rest of the world doesn't see the vikings as civilized? By Odens wrath they shall bleed for this!

  • We Vikings still are very much alive. Let's see if idiots like the Talibans can stop our appetite for war.

    We don't belong in museums. Not only are we still alive by today, we also are taller, stronger, more intelligent, better equipped, better organized and quite fancy the taste of blood we presently are experiencing in our mouths.

    Sweden is the only nation that successfully has conquered Moscow as well as Germany. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd also be the first to tame the Talibans!

  • I know that deep inside of each and every one of us... theirs viking blood running through our vains!!!!

  • subed!

    gr8 vid

  • I so wish I was Skandinavian!!

  • is there such thing as an english viking :L

  • @MilitaryGB Any can be a viking. Considering it means raiding. Grab a helm, chaimail coat, a round shield, axe, longsword, spear and get a longship. Set sail. Wherever you land, raid the place. If you die, make sure you're holding your sword.

  • You Scandinavians must be so proud.,...

  • @awesomeirlable My norwegian ancestry lets out a prideful war cry every so often

  • Norske vikinger!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

  • - Yes, I happen to be their lawyer.

    Do you wish to claim damages?

    I'm afraid I can not be of any assistance to you.

  • Lol, ganska retarded att säga svenska/norska/danska vikingar när länderna inte fanns förr. De talade samma språk, och hade samma religion.

  • @goawaiii nja det var olika dialekter har jag för mig som du inte förstod om du kom från goterna eller svearna

    altså även i "sverige" behövde du inte fatta ett skit av vad en annan "svensk" sa

  • pretty retarded to say Swedish / Norwegian / Danish Vikings when countries did not exist before. They spoke the same language, and had the same religion. lmao, I think google translate did a good job for once.

  • Why so pure video quality?

  • NORSKE VIKINGER!

  • @joker13265 SVENSKA VIKINGAR!

  • @SgtNanosh skide svensker

  • the vikings fucking badasses

  • Since when did Vikings ride horses?

  • @kryptojack they had horses but not on the boats.

  • Comment removed

  • @Headslaught They could, but they normaly didn't need horses for short raiding missions.

  • @kryptojack Well they're hardly going to go into battle on fucking bears, are they?

  • @TheTaterTotP80 had they been able tame the bears then they would be far more fearsome then what they were O.o

  • @kryptojack Hroses were just as common with the vikings as any othe rpeople in Europe.

  • this documentary is terrible. If you want to learn about the vikings then read some damn history books and the Edda's and Sagas.

  • Dumest thing i have ever seen. Americans know absolutely nothing about our Scandinavian heritage...

  • So, swedes coming here saying "I'm so proud", are murderers and rapists something to be proud of?

  • @sartanko yeah? i meen what the hell? we RUUULED!!!

  • @sartanko yes ;)

  • @sartanko Ther is no single account of rape being common during viking raids...

  • @ShittyGarfunk

    I admit my comment was foolish and hastey!

    But raid is raid, war is war. And back in those days!

  • @sartanko Hey, lets take some time to reflect on you then shall we?

    Who were your ancestors?

  • @shadowfall33

    The vajkingz.. :(

  • my ancestors were vikings of sweden also, its a good feeling to know one's ancestors were warriors, sailors, and merchants

  • Íslenskir víkingar!

  • I am proud of being Swedish

  • Yea this documentary kinda sucks and are incorrect. The swedes and the norwegians were the same people back then, Sweden and Norway was founded later.

    They also seem to forget that the danes ruled big parts of Sweden/norway and also bigger parts of Europe, like England. And they talk about the swedes going to russia for like one minute.

  • @hjaldemort dom verkar mest koncentrera sig på vikingar som seglade västerut ja och inte öst :o synd på tanke på att kiev i ryssland / Ukraina liksom dublin på irland grundades utav vikingar.

  • @hjaldemort They refer to what is currently Norway and Sweden.

  • HAIL ODIN!!!

  • I dont understand why they call vikings barbarians? Vikings were basically men with wives, homes, children and farms that went out on voyages sometimes to get money and other things..

  • Svenska vikingar! 

  • i'm so proud of being swedish!

  • @BadSideOfHeaven with you there bro

    

  • @BadSideOfHeaven these people arent swedes they are vikings

  • @BadSideOfHeaven I'm polish, but I live in sweden, and I would love to be swedish

  • @BadSideOfHeaven think most people got something like that :P your from the vikings. i'm from the netherlands (we were traders and had the best economie in the world). other are from colombus :P

  • @CrumblyCloud hahaha what u on about u Mad Kunt hahaha youre funny

  • NORGE! <3

  • @ahhgirl67 is a shithole which used to be sverige

    xD

    EIRE

  • I live a couple km away from a viking grave.

    Its a big pile of rocks on top of a mountain and the viking was buried in the pile of rocks.

  • Also the funny thing was all this bullshit about vikings being hard...maybe so...but there will always be a race FAR more Berserk and Furious and thats the CELTS. Even today they are Fucking Hostile in the west of Ireland and will beat the shit out of you if you talk shit about them. Sweden, Norway etc Was tough, but they are pussies now. However, if they start playing and get good at RUGBY - which is actually a Norse word (Ironic huh?) i am then convinced.

  • @DancingMedicineMan Just what the hell is the matter with you, disrespecting people you don't even know and categorizing people of this age? I can tell that I, as a Norwegian, has developed into a far more sofisticated being than you. Norway is a nation of common sense and peace today, we don't start beef, but if you're frontin against me today, so help me God I will have your head so far up your ass it pops out of your headless neck.

  • @ahhgirl67 i'd snap your blonde ass in Half. You heard of the Highlanders? Twice maybe 3 times the size of a viking? You would'nt dare say that to me you WHORE. Fuck Norway it is a Hole infested by Arabs and sandniggers...pretty soon it will be an islamic republic. Common sense? Hahahaha scandinavians are the Most DRY, DEAD,DULL People i have ever met. They have a weird sense of humour and are very Xenophobic. PS Don;t mention god you Slut. Norwegians are Godless, and thats why they're Miserable

  • @DancingMedicineMan you clearly know nothing of vikings.

  • @DancingMedicineMan fuck god. he doesnt exist the cunt.

  • @Disnamesucksass whatever you'll find out when you die small dick.

  • @DancingMedicineMan Did you ever hear of danish viking invasions along the coast of England and Scotland? Frequently they raided those two places and did a lot of raping. Even a bit of settling down. Ever wondered why you got a lot of red hair over there? Genes ;) Do a little research and for the love of God, calm down. You look like an idiot

  • @Peacekeeper88 Yeah England and Scotland, But not IRELAND You Dickhead. It was the celtic horde that fucked you faggots in the end.danes are pussies now though. Irish would kill them in a fight hahahaha. Imagine it it would be just like a rugby game Danes begging for mercy, and unfortunately the green machine would grant it to them cos they're kind bastards. Oh yeah, and tell that mermaid in copenhagen i FUCKED her descendant and left her stranded with my baby The Whore.

  • @DancingMedicineMan Omg, you're funny. Normally I don't do troll feeding, but you're something special.

    So. After you fucked a statue, when did you decide to get an actual girlfriend? And rugby? Please. I couldn't care less about rugby. Troll harder bb <3

  • @Peacekeeper88 rugby is better than soccer you weak little bitch, - Hahaha prooving you're a real poofter .That statue is still being a slut...fuckin peackeeper MY ASS you're starting shit with me you little fuckin homo erotic wankstain. goblin weaker. HEJA SVERIGE

  • @DancingMedicineMan I'm "starting" shit with you because you're funny :D and lol @ you thinking I'm swedish. Try again, my mildly retarded friend. That the best you've got? Want my adress so you can come and say it to my face? Oh wait, you're a troll. You're only passive aggressive whenever you know you don't have to take any kind of responsibility. Try again, you're so far from insulting me.

  • @Peacekeeper88 yeah hard....theres nothing more i would like than coming round to yours having a chat and running off in laughter after i had just snapped your fuckin neck you blonde ass. The mere fact that you feel inferior gives me a morale boost and i pray on that shit you weakling.

  • a hinger ringer linger finger

  • Wtf... They f***cking forgot denmark in scandinavia! wtf... we ruled at that time most of scandinavia...

  • @the1only2enidan Hah, no you didnt.

  • Did I hear lithuanian's speaking in the ship building part? "gerai, gerai"

  • i love that they excluded denmark:)

  • 1:17 outrageous bullshit Finns where not vikings finns are righteous people and not to be affiliated whit the murderous rapist vikings, how ever finns did kill alot of them rigthfully so, in the city where i live there is old viking crap in museum, thor had his hammer that worked only in stories, Finns have puukko that works now as well as it did back in the day.

  • @Oozy9Millimeetah Finns are not Scandanavians either. Finns are outlanders. They invaded that land which is rightfully Swedish, How is invading eastern Sweden righteous? The Finns came from central asia and stole land that was not theirs, only to be dominated by Russians for centuries. Great idea you fucking idiots. If you pick a fight with someone and get your teeth knocked out, it is your own fault. You are stupider than the Japanese crying about atomic bombs after they STARTED WW\2.

  • @horriehomepage

    um dude you dont know shit abougth shit, becouse the finnish people have been in this region for the longest, after sami people. The the swedish and scandis are considerd as new commers in this reagion, and i dont care abougth scandinavia they are weak look into ww2 and the vikings got raped by the christians LOL!!! if i wasnt I1 (Y-dna) i would insult them even more, and i love to figth, especially whit russians but beating up swede is like beating a woman its unfare.

  • @Oozy9Millimeetah

    Language, dear.

  • @Oozy9Millimeetah It took the armies of Peter the Great of Russia a long time to Defeat the armies of Charles of Sweden. And Peter took lots of casualty's.

  • @Oozy9Millimeetah HAHAHA TRUE! i got into a fight with this swede called filip he was built like a strong dude, but had no Mongrel or ruthlessness in him! He ended up going to the dentist complaining bout a tooth xD

  • @Oozy9Millimeetah lol, u jelly

  • "Vikings" have never existed.

    There has been folks like them in the Northen parts of Europe, but they didn´t call them selfes for "Vikings".

  • @epiczzify

    I fucking live in Denmark, and know for a fact that Denmark IS a part of Scandinaiva, Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway and Sweden. And all the other countries are run by little girls! ;P

  • @vildmanden1 Tell that to the countries that you mentioned where they have chapters of Hells Angels.

  • EPIC FAIL!

    "Land of the vikings, what's to called Scandinavia", and then Norway, Sweden and Finland (?) glows? What the.....?! First of all, Denmark were the place were the vikings who attacked England, lived. And Denmark is a part of Scandinavia.

    Second of all, Finland is NOT a part of Scandinavia. But a part of "the North"! Get you're facts right, before you go making a documentary! what a shitty film, with lots of historical errors...

  • VIKINGS!!!!!!

    Im so fucking prud of my ansisters!

  • Isn't Denmark part of Scandinavia too? So why isn't it red on that map?

  • @TheVolturi4eva Denmark was, I dont now why its not featured...

  • so if u hav fair-hair and blue-eyes and u r frm england...u r not really english??

  • I have a theory.

    Norsk (and I suspect) all scandinavian women are so obnoxious that it drove the menfolk to take it out on other peoples across the seas. ;)

  • finnish people are not russians. they are fennos-skandinavian. swedes pussyes cant concuer it anymore, because finland have bigger and better army. and russians have tried with their red-army and what happened. finland is now,and in future, still independent state... fuck you swedian chicken shits!!!

  • finland is part of "so called" fennoscandinavia. and that time finland was a wildland and there were no writtened culture. there was also tribes and so on...but no highly organized army. only villages and tribes. stable viking culture have been founded from the southwestern finland and so on thrue the coastline ...

  • By far one of the best documentaries on the Vikings out there. One small mistake though Finland is not part of Scandinavia, but Denmark is. Not only that but the they seem to forget the small thing called the Danelaw and the legacy it left both on the area in the form of names for place but also the mark it left on the English language.

  • Finland is more Scandinavia then Denmark

  • @12345678909269 Hell no! Learn history please? If you see at the old tales there is ONLY Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Finland isn't even mentioned. If you ask me and several people in the world, Finland is NOT even a part of Scandinavia..

  • @12345678909269 Besides their language isn't like ours a.k.a they do not come from the same "tribe" as Denmark, Sweden and Norway..

  • @Soli11 But u forget one thing, Finland has been a part of Sweden. Therefor i consider them scandinavians, my mother is from Finland and she says they consider themself Scandinavians. Who cares about the language really, the sami people in sweden speak a complete diffrent language and they are scandinavians.

  • @12345678909269

    Yeah, and USA is a country in the middle east ;)

  • Comment removed

  • u fucker

  • "ruotsalaiset taistelevat aina viimeiseen suomalaiseen saakka" kuulostaako tutulta?:D 

  • @chetz, I am from america. And I agree with you, So many people are brainwashed with this crap that our media gives us. This is with our tv programs, news media. You name it, they want us to know only what they think we should know and that is why our government monitors and controls allot of what we watch. Those that have the resources turn to alternative ways of learning, media, news etc. So do not hate all of us, just the main population that are slaves.

  • assholes

  • man.. this... is so so bad who the hell made this??? ive gone wtf at alot of moments of wrong Info

  • This is just... So faulty.. Sigh, americans get everything wrong.

  • look at the beauty of vikinger

  • the map is so wrong of Scandinavia, it is Sweden Norway and Denmark who are vikings, not Finland they are slavic like the Russians

  • @nic4r

    my god you are ignorant as a pile of dog shit, finnish people are not slavic you stupid fuck, i live in are of Finland where over 50% of people are I1a and the eastern finnish people are not slavic neighter.

  • I have to see only the first minute to see that this almost guaranteed to be all completely made up fantasy.

  • vkings didnt have horns in theres helmets !!!!

  • @TheDaniiboy Not all of them.

  • @TheSexybeastish I've never seen any at all. However I've seen a Celtic bronze helmet with horn-like parts.

  • @TheDaniiboy Correct. They did not have horns. The horns were depicted in later European art that tended to mix earlier Celtic stereotypes of "barbarian Celts" to the "barbarian Vickings".

    Vickings originally wore the typical 2-piece or 6-piece conical helmet designs - a design found throughout Europe (which had actually AlanoSarmatian Asiatic origins). and the richer wore that helmet with added nose and eye protection.

  • ... in the early daus, Vickings were armed not so much with complex stuff but more with a simple conical helmet, a simple padded leather armlour (and most of them wore no protection other than simple leather cloths), a wooden round shield with 1 handle (and a metal boss to protect the handle), and a spear, a sword or an axe. This weaponry fitted their naval-based surprise attacks. Later when they got richer and formed bigger armies they wore the typical armour staff found throughout Europe.

  • @epiczzify denmark is and so is iceland sry you are wrong

  • @epiczzify No its not, Dont argue against facts. Scandinavia is Sweden,Norway,Denmark. People with the same origin and culture.

  • @joonte1010 "Scandinavia[1] is a region in northern Europe that includes Denmark and two of the Scandinavian Peninsula's nations, Norway and Sweden. In common English usage, Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are sometimes also considered part of Scandinavia." From Wikipedia. So, faulty or not it seems to be a general belief that Finland is a part of Scandinavia. Doesnt mean that its correct though, could be a widely shared misconception thats usually accepted.

  • @PondscumArgonian It isnt correct, and please. Dont trust the information from wikipedia, Anyone can change the information there.

  • @joonte1010 Also means that anyone can correct faulty information. And as said, it could be a common misconception thats made its way to Wikipedia, rather then the other way around.
