I believe in a more unified spiritual world. One not built on hate or division, but of understanding and respect. That is why his content has always be free of modern and divisive content. I am committed to providing information free of bias, drama, and ego. I believe religion, spirituality, and global healing is for everyone regardless of race, sexuality, gender, or political ideology.
Hats off to prehistoric Picassos! Who knew arctic circles could be art studios?! These Finnish cave paintings are visually spellbinding! It's as if ancient rock became timeless canvases - what a jolt of pure, raw, historical adrenaline this video is! Kudos to the creator for such an insightful narration!!
I clicked on your video and thought, "let's learn something this morning!"
Thanks for never failing to bring some awesome information to the table!
Great videos. ❤️
That means a lot! Thank you ❤️
I’m from Canada, thank you as I appreciate your work.
Thanks for watching!
An interesting thing about these Finnish rock paintings is that the first person to report them to science was our national composer Jean Sibelius who found one painting near Helsinki. Sibelius is best known of 'Finlandia' (maybe more known as 'Be still my soul' in the USA.)
Since that time several paintings have been found and no doubt there are more that have not been discovered yet. There is one by a lake about 5 miles from my cabin, and I have seen one of the largest paintings in Eastern Finland as well.
Wow this is so interesting! So, this is not in Europe but I found some similar rock paintings in Washington state in the Yakima Valley. The road I lived on was named Painted Rocks because I lived on the top of this hill where at the base of it were dozens of rock paintings. It's hundreds and hundreds of years old, painted by indigenous people of the area in the past. I didn't get to learn as much history about it as much as I wanted to but it was very cool nonetheless. Some, if not most, were faded but they were also tinted red. It amazes me that very different cultures in very different areas of the world have or did similar things. The city of Yakima has protected it. I really want to know the same thing you do, what was it that they were trying to communicate to anyone who saw it. It is along the Yakima river. Also, like you said here, that the rock paintings were up higher than the ground level, makes me wonder how high the river was and what the terrain was hundreds of years ago. Washington was known for having glaciers. I always visit these rocks when I go to visit as it blows me away every time. 💜
I live in Washington. I would love to track these down next time I am near Yakima

Wow, now that is a cool bit of history. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Jacob - I had not heard of the Finnish rock paintings. I find it amazing that thousands of years of weathering - yet the paintings still exist! Fantastisk ! 🥰
Very interesting!
They are hidden gems! ❤️
Thank you very much for cleaning up the sites. You are a very honorable man!
How do they preserve the paintings? How are they still there after 7000yrs? Amazing
There was no preservation at least until 1911. Besides keeping water off of them I doubt there’s much they do.
It is a chemical reaction of the rock that preserves the rock surface exposed to air and water. The paint itself would not last that long.
It's so awesome that by exploring these different sites and documenting them, even if they have been video documented before, that they are digitally preserved for us and future generations to look back on. Truly amazing.
Such beautiful forest!!!! That's just mind blowing that the paint is still there today. I have heard that therre's an issue with hunters/hunting season up in the north as it's usually people that have no respect for nature AT ALL. They're there to get on the piss and shoot crap. But there are good locals up there that don't take any crap! I'm glad that man helped you out so we could get this video :) Thanks jacob and safe travels out there mate!
Mahtava, that is really cool and fascinating-- it's great to see/ hear that they're protected, but I feel like some additional preservation measures should be taken so they're not lost to the elements. Love it.
This site was fairly isolated. I think the larger sites in the east may have better preservation
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Cool!
I'm sure a very large proportion of your viewers are UK/Ireland and Europe...Belfast here...I can understand cave art surviving the millenia protected from the elements but the fact that these exposed painted panels still survive blows me away. Great video!
I think Ocean Keltoi and "Redwolf" owes you an apology.
You are by far the most wholesome dude I've seen in this pagan community.
Annikki, Goddess of Weaving, may have been She who was honored with these rock paintings which resembled textiles.
It's fascinating to see pictographs from around the world. Odd, however, 'expert' opinions like diminish the female role ancient religions.
Amazing in truth.
Thanks for the interesting video! There's a rock painting near where I live in Finland. Not much is done to protect it. There's even a common rock climbing place beside it.
Good video! I live in Finland and have never seen rock paintings in my country. AFAIK all of them are in so difficult places that I haven't bothered to go. Maybe I should :)
You are missing out not seeing them. Definitely take some time and do a tour. Such history in those markers!
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I have done much of homeland travel and seen historical locations but not any of those, yet! :)
Interesting topic, i like to search new rock paintings and i even found one at this winter😊
love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
i watch you some videos by getting inspiration from the show Vikings
I also
bro tu bhi norse mythogly se inspier h kya?@@Brothers-10-10
Hi, the first carving you showed with the distinct pattern looked like a really big composite rune. It most likely had a magical purpose - protection?
>pekka was here
maybe those places were close to some travel route and they just killed time by doing stuff while they waited. who knows :)
people have habit of leaving their mark.. kabanossi package outlasts all the rock carvings there is
respect ❤
Love it
Thank you for this! 🙏 I learned something new, even as a native. 💙🇫🇮
Not proud of the littering, though. 👎
Was so happy to spend time in Finland. I hope to go back soon! 🇫🇮
First comment Celt viewer 🎉
now i want to know about the norse religion as much as i can you made any video on "how much Today's people know about the norse mytho"
at least they weren´t spray
painted, over that is, i´ve seen
that too..
a typical census for an uralic
people is around 50 000..
we have two more zeros here,
obviously not descendants of the
same people!
the sami actually have a bow
wielding female deity who is
one the birth goddesses
(said to turn male childs
over the protection of the
forest spirit).
bow is still very much in the
male domain.. with other uralics
miniature bows were sacrificed
every time a boy child was born
and so forth (for girls more
female tools).
it´s not that a girl couldn´t
be a hunter it´s that most
don´t like killing animals..
i don´t either, which is why
i photograph them, but i could
have taken some of those deer,
with a bow, which is already
cheating (deer are superior
to humans in so many ways).
a big part of (male) shaman work
here was protecting the hunting
and fishing luck.. to do that
you had to know those domains
(otherwise the hunters would
laugh at you, not with you).

love your work Jacob, i am a pagan myself and i am wondering if you can make a long videos about the pagan mythologies for beginners like Norse, Celtic, Slavic, Baltic and Finnish paganism and the details about them, so people who want to convert to paganism like me would know which one they will choose. thank you and enjoy your day
