i pifer to warship the greek gods like zeus but i also like thor to but yeah were did he even have a sister i think they made thet up and lokie is thors brother pluse they dont even give odin one eye wtf history channle.
@AvaddonKa plus, there are not 3 but 9 realms, plus thor can shoot lightning without the hammer(in the story were he got his hammer, earlier he punched bare fist through a wall and ignites a tree outside with a lightning bolt from his fist), plus he wasnt the only god who was not deceptive .... if we try to count all the errors of this "documentary" we gonna be here forever (or until ragnarök)
quite violent, ever heard of the eagle torture? Anyway Thor, Odinsønn, Æsen av Torden, Krig og Slakter av Midgardsormen, Til deg , Jeg slåss for, Til Vallhall! I use that before i go hunting or play with softgun with my cousins.

@NWOareScum Well im not the one called scum here so you and everyone else who loves reptiles can die go jack off to a furry or whatever it you people do
@TheDarkKnightBegins2 - no you can try realising you have serious mentally ill issues for projecting your phobias about some animal species onto tales of the gods. go learn watch some nature programmes sicko. k.y.
@NWOareScum It's a reptile not a baby seal if you think a reptile is cute you have issues and just for the record those shows make me hate reptiles more I mean they eat babies and not in fucking self defense they are fing evil and agressive and If im sicko what are you? Satan, because you told me to kill my self for agreeing with the people who created this mythology in that reptile or evil did you even watch the video? Freaking troll.
@TheDarkKnightBegins2 - you're clearly insane, of course reptiles are cute. nature is cute in general, there's something wrong with you if you look at say an iguana or gecko or chaemeleon and are scared of them or find them ugly.
think it through, it proves you are not from this creation / evolution, as your dna first goes thru stages of being a repto in the womb, plus they were here for millions of years at least. you'd be used to them by genetic memory.
@TheDarkKnightBegins2 - even if giant lizards do eat babies, so would a large seal if there was a baby lying on the beach etc. they aren't evil that'd just be eating food to them, no different from nature eating some other nature live that it caught with its claws or teeth. so if you want to say that type of evolution (meat eating) was in error then fine that has a point to it, but you can't selectively condemn animals when any animals omnivore etc would do the same thing.
@TheDarkKnightBegins2 - you have a phobia if you hate reptiles. what you should do is source the real reason, because it's not rational to hate a type of animal or plant etc, it is a cover for your psyche that hides something else behind it from your conscious awareness.

@rougewerm Yes. Loki got himself in trouble with the other gods, so he went to Svartalfaheim (land of dark elves/dwarfs) to get gifts for them. On his way back, he met Brokk and Sindri, two dwarf craftsmen, asked him about what he had. Loki then, jokingly, bet his head that his gifts were better than anything the two dwarfs could make. Dwarfs take bets very seriously. So they started making gifts for the gods. Loki turned himself into a gadfly and stung Brokk in the eye...
@rougewerm ...to make him mess up while he was making Thor's hammer. This caused the dwarfs to make the handle short. When they presented the gifts to the gods, Brokk told Thor that the hammer's handle is short to make it easier to carry. The dwarfs won the bet and prepared to take Loki's head. Loki then said that the dwarfs could have his head only if they could take it without hurting his neck.The dwarfs see that they aren't going to get Loki's head, so they sew his mouth shut.
Those burrial mounds found in Uppsala is not only largest in entire Sweden, But also in entire North (And probably Europe). Runestones is not common in the entire North, They are very very rare in Norway and Denmark. In Sweden however you find them almost everywhere.
@trentstevenson100 Christianity ist only a relgion for morons. The Germans are hated for the ww2, but look how often christians kill other culture in name of their god. And you will call christiantiy a good thing on earth or the ''true'' religion? If you are a fan of slaughtern the inocent .
@Psymon1988Stark "how often christians kill other culture in name of their god."
And how "often" exactly is that? First of all, no one is "innocent," least of all human-sacrificing pagans of the ancient world. Second, it's easy to blame one group of people for wrongs done THOUSANDS of years ago without really examining the whole of history or knowing that it was more about political conquest than anything else.
christianity reality: some jewish chap called jesus who said he was the son of god which every other jewish person would consider themselves, spent his life wandering round the middle east shoving the jewish teachings down everyones throat & had time for some paul daniels party tricks. bon appertite
seems the history channel forgot a lot of information. they are still treating the gods as myths. Lots of peopel follow the old religion today and take offence as thismisrepreation of the Eddas. if we are goint to talk myths look at the christian and jewish books of moses. I want to see the history channel misrepresent the facts as they have done here. shouldnt be too hard. There is a lot of stuff that can be called myth in the bible.
If you watch clash of the gods Hercules he was able to conquer nature. So why can't Thor? It's a good question. The Norsemen had a harsher climate than the Greeks. And Hercules story was more about conquering man's impulses than about conquering nature.
And the Nordic mythology is a bit darker than the Greek.
@Howtoplanaparty--That's speculation on the part of Snorri to justify Heathenry's existance. Christianity has a nasty habit of rationalizing the origins of other religions like that. Hail Odin.
@YrNhanioArnaYMor "Thor" is derived frm Gk "Thouros", their name for Tiras, father of th red-haired Thracians, who founded Troy. After th fallin of Troy, part of th Troians founded Nw Troy, which was called "Asia's Garden" or "Asgard", n of the Black Sea. From there, about 200 BC, high priest Odin took ovr some existin layouts in Scandinavia, alon with an existin religious hub at Uppsala, earlier founded by "The Magy" of the Oera Linda Book. Tht's why swastika in Sweden, Troy, & Aryan India
@YrNhanioArnaYMor no I mean, literally, that's not his title under any situation :S I've never in my life heard anyone say "Lord" Thor, nor read it, nor does it make any sense. Then again, Lord Jesus doesn't make sense either, but still, don't make up new stuff ^^
@TokyoZeplin I call the Ones I worship "Lord" and "Lady" regardless of what others, equally mortal, tell me. The Divine deserves and gets that respect and reverence from me.
@TokyoZeplin Yes, actually, I do. I've been a practising Pagan for eleven years now and I don't tolerate idiots trying to think they can insult my faith and then whine like the immature children they are when the tables get turned on them.
@YrNhanioArnaYMor dude, are you even in the slightest reading what I'm writing to you? Calm the fuck down, re-read, and realize that as a complete starting point, I'm not insulting your faith (no matter how silly I find all faiths to be), second that I'm not whining (the hell am I whining about? o0), and that no tables have been turned BECAUSE YOU STILL DON'T GET MY POINT. Seriously, you are talking about something COMPLETELY different. RE-READ.
@TokyoZeplin Firstly, you don't need to shout. Secondly, "Thor is not a lord"? Excuse me but He is to me, he is one of my Lords as Kali is one of my Ladies. It's a title, or don't you understand those?
And really, what point are you trying to make by all this blather, eh? I don't give a damn what you think of my faith -- It is my faith. I'm not going to preach because well, my faith doesn't believe in "Converting" people -- faith is a personal decision. But insults get you nowhere.
@YrNhanioArnaYMor you still don't get it... Thor is a Norse God, the word "Lord" doesn't exist in any of the Nordic languages, and if you actually choose to use the closest variant to it, it would mean a British land owner. I'm not criticizing your faith (even though you seem determined to continue to say so), I'm correcting your language, saying the title you are giving is factually incorrect. If you calmed the F down, you would have seen that from the beginning (as I said).
@TokyoZeplin You seem to think you speak to one uneducated in Anglo-Saxon and Germanic titles of nobility. You're not. I'm Canadian; I was taught exactly what each title means.
And do tell that to all the Christians then, would you? Because "Lord" is applied to their god all the time and I don't see you bitching at them.
@YrNhanioArnaYMor If you had read my previous replies instead of raging, I did say it also made no sense for Jesus. That said, Christianity is a much more "international" religion, you are pushing a completely wrong word onto a Norse religion, a non-existent title. Of the few pagans I know, all simply say "Thor", no special prefix. Also, Thor isn't a nobility :) Nice for you being Canadian, now take it from a Dane, you're using "Lord" wrong in this situation.
@TokyoZeplin I'm not pushing a bloody thing. I simply call my Lords and Ladies what I do to revere Them. I'll use whatever bloody titles I can to revere Them because hey, I'm not fluent in any other tongues except English, Welsh and Japanese.
So don't tell me how to worship and I won't tell you how much of a pushy child you are.
@YrNhanioArnaYMor Firstly, it's nice you're trying to show off speaking 3 languages, except I speak 6. Which is not all that uncommon in Nordic countries. Ironically, also English and Japanese among them, so yay. Second, if you're worshiping Norse Gods, maybe try to learn a bit about it to know what to call them? Fine, call them what you want, but it's still the wrong word mate :S No need to get hostile, instead, learn! If you look at my first post, I was just explaining!
@TokyoZeplin Don't tell me how to worship. Period. I don't tolerate it from Christians, why would I tolerate it from anyone else? And you'd think eleven years is quite enough time under my belt to have done some research, no?
@YrNhanioArnaYMor geez, you don't even bother to read what I write before replying anymore... and looked at MrFelixify's comment too. I think at this point, you're the only person not understanding that I'm not bashing your religion, but correcting a factual mistake (unless you're saying you're worshiping a different version of Thor than the one from Norse mythology). Again, calm down, no need to be hostile, and just read what I'm writing to you here. Geez and get someone to take that stick out.
@TokyoZeplin First: Do not call a faith mythology unless you are prepared to have someone call yours the same.
Second: I do read and frankly, I don't give a tinker's damn what you think you know. I know Who I worship. Leave it at that or I will begin to dissect your faith right back at you. If you know so much, why do you call something what it is not?
@TokyoZeplin Jag kallar honom Tor, and you´r right, i never heard of anyone calling him a lord. Seems like some newage pagan stuff blending christian stuff with Old Norse mythology.
My biggest problem with this documentary is that it says there are three worlds on the tree of Yggdrasil. I have a more accurate book that says there are nine worlds: Midgard (Earth), Asgard (Thor's world), Vana Heim (home of the Vanir gods), Jotunheim (frost giants, trolls, etc), Darkalf Heim (world of gnomes), Muspel Heim (world of fire), Hel/Niflheim (The Underworld), Alf Heim (Elf world), and Gimle (Heaven for both gods and mortals).
@80619Chris Agreed!!! They also mess up the relationship between Thor and Loki (in the myths they were brothers or Loki was Odin's oath brother) as well as Fraya who wasn't at all related to Thor since she and Frey were Vanir a seperat tribe of Gods from Aesir like Thor or Odin.
Also i think there confusing the worship of Thor with that of Odin, Odin's sacrifises were hung from trees not Thors.
@MWhaleK Yeah, good point on all accounts. It is kind of disappointing when you know more than the professions or at least, have better information than the professionals provide in documentaries.
@80619Chris I know, they would have gotten better more complete info out of any halfway decent book on Norse mythology or even the RPG suppliment GURPS Vikings.
@80619Chris - yeah it's 9. like ennead is 9. the kabbalah one has 10 cause from what i recall anyway, it includes the return-repeat idea, the kingdom upon earth. the 9 one is like the core design, the 10 one shows how it completes.
@HBKdxfan I'll elaborate. A long time ago (according to myth), Loki caught the eye of Odin with his cleverness and Odin decided to make him a blood brother. Each of them cut out a small piece of vein in their arms and switched pieces thus having each other's blood flow in their veins, making them blood brothers. As long as this was the case, no one would dare harm the one without incurring the wrath of the other.
@gsxxxrk5 It's the D'Aulaiares' book of Norse Myths. They were a married couple who wrote children's books when they were alive. Interestingly enough, the wife happened to know of these tales from being native to Scandinavia and having been told them as a kid by her family.
@80619Chris I think they simplified it (perhaps too much) for the benefit of those who, shall we say, might not understand. Norse Lore is rather complex.
I thought this show would be good... but it's full of stuffed shirts who think "from the British Isles to the Baltic sea" means "Denmark," and that Thor began in "Norse mythology," and "Norse mythology" is whatever Snorri wrote far away and much later in Iceland.
Thor is much older than the 1st century A.D., and originated among the Uralic peoples who lived where the Stone Axe culture did. That's where the hammer comes from. Thor is no son of Odin there. Not even in Germanic Uppsala.
Wow... This is the worst Thor information ever. Thank you history channel for another show that bastardizes history. I'm sure your roman catholic/christian supporters won't study to see if this is even correct. Just nod and watch as Thor becomes Odin and other Norse Gods. You would think they would research more but alas the people who fund the history channel are mostly christian.
Clash of the Gods is my ALL TIME fav History Channel series! Big Time thumbs way WAY up for the post!...BTW, Jesus and the illiterate, murdering, slave-trading warlord named muhammed are without doubt real persons who actually lived, the question timbongo is whether the were divine (in the case of Jesus) or a prophet (in the case of the stinking desert rat muhammed whose followers still cut off heads to barbaric cries of allahu akbar which concerns liberal western pukes not) just a thought...
beleiver of thors went underground for good? Damn does they have heard about Asatru ???? They are modern pagan that are resurrecting the heathen(viking) belief system ! in fact a lot of old tradition are begining to rise up again; Neo-Pagans, Wicca, Asatru, Neo Druidic religion who has become an official religion in the British islands ! come one, for historians, they don't do their homework's.
@americandiamond101 usaully i always think that im in a hot and ocean like place when im reading greek mythology and i feel like im in a cold sleepy place when im reading norse
@agormanvideos nope. I truly thing that it is catholic disinformation. Catholics&Christians did a lot more sacrifice than any others!!! killing anyone that didn't fit into their own philosophy,men child and wives, accusing them of being witches, Satan worshipper(etc), that they have the originals sin and must repent to save their soul or else go to hell etc...etc...
@myzaroth I also have the sensation that it's catholic disinfo. But maybe only the gods themselves can answer my question with the truth. Or a good archaelogist! LOL.
The only superior beings were the Greeks and Romans; with the introduction of Christianity humanity actually degenerated instead of evolved. Hell the Romans had running water in their cities, spas, baths and toilets - it would be late into the 18th century that humanity finally utilizes just the use of water - and not running water - ,people were still shitting in buckets even up to the 19nth century. Thanks a lot for that Christianity - we could have been vulcans by now.
@ZephonTLucifer exacly... it pisses me off when you know that ancient Heathens, Celts, Germans, Greeks, etc... all were great civilizations, that traded together, that were wise and had intelligent societal structures.... but then Christianity came along and screw it all!
@ZephonTLucifer Christianity/Protestantism was the impetus to the scientific method, which gave us many of the modern conveniences that we enjoy today. With any religion, you have good and bad. The Romans and Greeks were not "superior;" they had problems as well--fighting amongst themselves, slavery, etc. BTW, only the very rich had running water; today, we all have it. Generalizations are never helpful or accurate in historical work and/or discussion.
I think you mean Europeans, more than all humans perce, most Southern Asians and Oriental peoples have been regulariy bathing for thousands of years - it was more the Roman area of the world that mostly desintergrated after its collapse and became 'dark' and dirty... and with its post renaisence industrial rise, it became dogma that it is only ourselves whom were ever clean once we re-figured out hygene.
as to superior beings, I thibk we humans have had moments when there has been individuals of superior intelllect, inventions, thinking, warfare, logic, greed, murder, pilage, wrath, love, morals and imorality etc, but we aren't superior nor will ever be, were human, the good, the bad and the ugly in lesser and greater portions & intermixes of such are within our personalities.
@thedragong and freyja wasn't his sister. Freyja is a Vanaheim that left with her twin brother Freyr, after that the war between Vanaheim and Asgard finished, to go live with the Asa gods. In exchange two Asa gods went to go live in Vanaheim. SO freyja and thor have no blood relationship.
@thedragong yes i know, but they were also talking about Freyja as Thor's sister in the documentary, that make them 2 false information with the Loki one.
Does anyone ever think that children may be watching this and reading the comments? And the ones that don't care probably shouldn't have children (at least not until they mature a little more). All the derogatory remarks, swearing and negativity is disgusting. This is just a show made by the History channel to inform all of us about the myths.
@aeriaplayer so basically you're saying people should write in PG13 language every one the internet, except for age verified and restricted sites, because a kid might read it? How about instead you actually keep an eye on what your kids are doing on the internet :S
its funny how the christians stole from every mythology and try to say they are the ultimate religion whats interesting in egyptian mythology the snake was a symbol of wisdom and not evil
if its one thing i hate is stupid Christians. go suck your Jesus's dick! oh wait, your probably doing that already. "YES MASTER, I WILL SUCK YOUR DICK. YOUR DADDY IS FUCKING WITH US FOREVER, SO WHAT DOSE IT MATTER?"
@Ryagful atheist scum i find quite funny how idiots like hate christianity , in the middle east you would be hanged in a tree just for being atheist while here we give every right
yeah, that though is correct. in barbaric, primitive bronze age societies, that's what they do. i don't even live in the same country as you, looser. in my country, people who say stuff like what you just said are considered mentally ill. christianity and religion in general is the most disgusting, mind rapist thing ever to storm the Earth. and people who defend it like you are even less than that; less than a pile of steaming crap. ever wonder why the DARK AGE is also called the CHRISTIAN DA?
@albokk you say you GIVE us every right? you are outnumberd! that why you wont do it! christians are the worst people ever i know there are good christians but WAY TO MANY are just ignorant assholes like you who think they are superior surprise we dont believe in heaven or hell so if someone go's to far i can destroy his life without fear for any supreme being striking back we are superior to YOU and WE let YOU practise your believes thats why the government gives you funding for your magic show
So a group of white people converted other white people to a Middle Eastern religion all to worship a Jew (after all Mary was a Jew and Jesus was her son making him Jewish).

If you watch clash of the gods Hercules he was able to conquer nature. So why can't Thor? It's a good question. The Norsemen had a harsher climate than the Greeks. And Hercules story was more about conquering man's impulses than about conquering nature.
And the Nordic mythology is a bit darker than the Greek.

@YrNhanioArnaYMor "Thor" is derived frm Gk "Thouros", their name for Tiras, father of th red-haired Thracians, who founded Troy. After th fallin of Troy, part of th Troians founded Nw Troy, which was called "Asia's Garden" or "Asgard", n of the Black Sea. From there, about 200 BC, high priest Odin took ovr some existin layouts in Scandinavia, alon with an existin religious hub at Uppsala, earlier founded by "The Magy" of the Oera Linda Book. Tht's why swastika in Sweden, Troy, & Aryan India

@YrNhanioArnaYMor dude, are you even in the slightest reading what I'm writing to you? Calm the fuck down, re-read, and realize that as a complete starting point, I'm not insulting your faith (no matter how silly I find all faiths to be), second that I'm not whining (the hell am I whining about? o0), and that no tables have been turned BECAUSE YOU STILL DON'T GET MY POINT. Seriously, you are talking about something COMPLETELY different. RE-READ.
TokyoZeplin 1 week ago
@TokyoZeplin Firstly, you don't need to shout. Secondly, "Thor is not a lord"? Excuse me but He is to me, he is one of my Lords as Kali is one of my Ladies. It's a title, or don't you understand those?
And really, what point are you trying to make by all this blather, eh? I don't give a damn what you think of my faith -- It is my faith. I'm not going to preach because well, my faith doesn't believe in "Converting" people -- faith is a personal decision. But insults get you nowhere.
YrNhanioArnaYMor 1 week ago
@YrNhanioArnaYMor you still don't get it... Thor is a Norse God, the word "Lord" doesn't exist in any of the Nordic languages, and if you actually choose to use the closest variant to it, it would mean a British land owner. I'm not criticizing your faith (even though you seem determined to continue to say so), I'm correcting your language, saying the title you are giving is factually incorrect. If you calmed the F down, you would have seen that from the beginning (as I said).

@TokyoZeplin You seem to think you speak to one uneducated in Anglo-Saxon and Germanic titles of nobility. You're not. I'm Canadian; I was taught exactly what each title means.
And do tell that to all the Christians then, would you? Because "Lord" is applied to their god all the time and I don't see you bitching at them.
YrNhanioArnaYMor 1 week ago
@YrNhanioArnaYMor If you had read my previous replies instead of raging, I did say it also made no sense for Jesus. That said, Christianity is a much more "international" religion, you are pushing a completely wrong word onto a Norse religion, a non-existent title. Of the few pagans I know, all simply say "Thor", no special prefix. Also, Thor isn't a nobility :) Nice for you being Canadian, now take it from a Dane, you're using "Lord" wrong in this situation.
TokyoZeplin 1 week ago
@TokyoZeplin I'm not pushing a bloody thing. I simply call my Lords and Ladies what I do to revere Them. I'll use whatever bloody titles I can to revere Them because hey, I'm not fluent in any other tongues except English, Welsh and Japanese.
So don't tell me how to worship and I won't tell you how much of a pushy child you are.
YrNhanioArnaYMor 1 week ago
@YrNhanioArnaYMor Firstly, it's nice you're trying to show off speaking 3 languages, except I speak 6. Which is not all that uncommon in Nordic countries. Ironically, also English and Japanese among them, so yay. Second, if you're worshiping Norse Gods, maybe try to learn a bit about it to know what to call them? Fine, call them what you want, but it's still the wrong word mate :S No need to get hostile, instead, learn! If you look at my first post, I was just explaining!
TokyoZeplin 1 week ago
@TokyoZeplin Don't tell me how to worship. Period. I don't tolerate it from Christians, why would I tolerate it from anyone else? And you'd think eleven years is quite enough time under my belt to have done some research, no?
I'm not the idiot you seem to think I am.
YrNhanioArnaYMor 1 week ago
@YrNhanioArnaYMor geez, you don't even bother to read what I write before replying anymore... and looked at MrFelixify's comment too. I think at this point, you're the only person not understanding that I'm not bashing your religion, but correcting a factual mistake (unless you're saying you're worshiping a different version of Thor than the one from Norse mythology). Again, calm down, no need to be hostile, and just read what I'm writing to you here. Geez and get someone to take that stick out.

@TokyoZeplin First: Do not call a faith mythology unless you are prepared to have someone call yours the same.
Second: I do read and frankly, I don't give a tinker's damn what you think you know. I know Who I worship. Leave it at that or I will begin to dissect your faith right back at you. If you know so much, why do you call something what it is not?

My biggest problem with this documentary is that it says there are three worlds on the tree of Yggdrasil. I have a more accurate book that says there are nine worlds: Midgard (Earth), Asgard (Thor's world), Vana Heim (home of the Vanir gods), Jotunheim (frost giants, trolls, etc), Darkalf Heim (world of gnomes), Muspel Heim (world of fire), Hel/Niflheim (The Underworld), Alf Heim (Elf world), and Gimle (Heaven for both gods and mortals).

Also i think there confusing the worship of Thor with that of Odin, Odin's sacrifises were hung from trees not Thors.

@HBKdxfan I'll elaborate. A long time ago (according to myth), Loki caught the eye of Odin with his cleverness and Odin decided to make him a blood brother. Each of them cut out a small piece of vein in their arms and switched pieces thus having each other's blood flow in their veins, making them blood brothers. As long as this was the case, no one would dare harm the one without incurring the wrath of the other.

I thought this show would be good... but it's full of stuffed shirts who think "from the British Isles to the Baltic sea" means "Denmark," and that Thor began in "Norse mythology," and "Norse mythology" is whatever Snorri wrote far away and much later in Iceland.
Thor is much older than the 1st century A.D., and originated among the Uralic peoples who lived where the Stone Axe culture did. That's where the hammer comes from. Thor is no son of Odin there. Not even in Germanic Uppsala.

The only superior beings were the Greeks and Romans; with the introduction of Christianity humanity actually degenerated instead of evolved. Hell the Romans had running water in their cities, spas, baths and toilets - it would be late into the 18th century that humanity finally utilizes just the use of water - and not running water - ,people were still shitting in buckets even up to the 19nth century. Thanks a lot for that Christianity - we could have been vulcans by now.

@ZephonTLucifer Christianity/Protestantism was the impetus to the scientific method, which gave us many of the modern conveniences that we enjoy today. With any religion, you have good and bad. The Romans and Greeks were not "superior;" they had problems as well--fighting amongst themselves, slavery, etc. BTW, only the very rich had running water; today, we all have it. Generalizations are never helpful or accurate in historical work and/or discussion.
