Two millennia ago in Denmark, a chilling battle occurred. Recent excavations have unveiled the remnants of this savage conflict, leaving historians both intrigued and appalled.
Recent publications detail an archaeological dig at a site named "The Meadows on Alken."
Believed to have transpired in the 1st Century AD, this large-scale battle unfolded on a bog. The marshy terrain has since safeguarded the remains of the fallen, offering a haunting glimpse into their final moments.
Despite the challenging, waterlogged conditions, archaeologists have unearthed over 200 skeletons. Each skeleton whispers a grim story, and many more are suspected to lie beneath...

Been a fan of #Dark5 since it was just text! Love how much it's grown!
Hearing your voice do an add is surreal. Lol it's as if my brain doesn't want to let it process. Makes me think seeing or hearing you have some non-shalant conversation in a pod cast or something would be pretty entertaining too. Imagine if you broke character and laughed? 😮😂
I so agree!

It always freaks me out to this day for some reason 😂
absolute truth
@shaneabrahamson8732 go cry to ur mama
Gotta love the fact that, the most effective weapons in history are still just bonking someone on the head with a stick. 😂
War....War never changes.
You mess with the honk, you get the bonk!
Yeah of all the way we humans have come up with to eliminate our enemies, (or just people who live somewhere else or have something we don’t so we are gonna find a way to take it from them) it’s wild that even today a strong stick still works just as well as it did 2000 years ago. Probably better because we know how to transfer the most kinetic energy from the stick to the “enemy” through years of trial and error. Knowing how NOT to choose a stick that is too brittle or too flexible or too short or long…..we really have come a long way. Or have we?
@@scottsmith4315we have the same bodies and same weakness. Small 6 inch and less blades are also one of the most common used murder weapons since we made blades. Easy to conceal, easy to use and just as deadly as a sword. Especially if your enemy or victim has nothing to fight back with or is attacked by surprise.
Been following your work for 8-10 years now - never commented but thank you for all the obscure info and interesting rabbit holes. I appreciate you.
Why is there a picture of a samurai when talking about the one Aztec sword?
Because it's an old photo of one of the last macuahital before it was lost in a fire. For whatever reason it was mistakenly placed with the samurai armor
@@JasonGrimes-dm8fg Oh. Ok. I didn't know about that. It just seemed so out of place. Thank you.
@@JasonGrimes-dm8fgThank you for answering thedosaurus’ question without calling him names or being rude or mean just for the sake of being rude or mean. I’m so used to seeing everyone criticized and called names and treated like dirt, just because they don’t know something so asked a question. It’s refreshing to see a pleasant exchange, with politeness and manners. What a concept! Good on ya. Thanks again.
@@scottsmith4315well said m8
That was kinda odd. Lol
Been a fan of #Dark5 since the beginning when it was text! Im glad the channel has had the growth and success it has had, and hope it continues. Quality has continued to grow as well!
Damn it seems like ages ago since reading texts on this channel. 😂
Going back to some of these time periods would be the stuff of nightmares.
I think you’re correct from what I’ve learned as a history buff. Helmets were rare in the early middle ages because they were expensive and required skilled artisans to make. Axes/spears/shields are relatively easy to make and resemble farming tools and other things that artisan could already make. The helmet was made only for war and thus less people knew how to make it and they were extremely expensive. This is the same for swords. Most warriors had a shield, a spear and a dagger/axe. Most of them wore just cloth tunics. Mail armor was also expensive and rare. Only professional soldiers and wealthy nobles had the full kit.
or maybe it is that these things were rarely left on the field to be found by moderns?
@@wrongfootmcgee that might be it as well. But the rarity of the items is still a known thing
It is well known that the vikings used helmets as after all they were experts in metallurgy. Of course they very expensive so they had to compromise in the quality of their helmets ranging from simple metal caps to very elaborate helmets that only powerful Chieftains could use them. Perhaps it is safe to say that the majority couldn't afford it...
Given that we have seen even chimps fashion crude spears, the venerable "sharp point on long stick" weapon format is then perhaps the very first effective and multiuse weapon mankind ever designed and quite frankly, _it might even be the last one to ever die out!_
Alright! I friggin love these "Dark" channels man. He really does an amazing job 👍🏻👍🏻
Macuahuitls were fearsome indeed, but the Spanish noted that they would shatter if struck against a steel sword or shield.
@@UncleKrampus not really. The Aztec swords were made of wood and volcanic glass.
@@UncleKrampus yes, obsidian. Glad you watched the video. What are you trying to get at? Iron and brass do not tend to literally shatter (cast iron will, but wasn't used to make weaponry). I'm guessing that you're Judy trolling. Have a nice one.
Obsidian would absolutely shatter against steel. It's literally just glass
Came to comments looking for this. Correct. They may have been fearsome against other native warriors, but there's video evidence of replicas being tested against period correct plate armor. No disrespect towards the native cultures, but the Spanish were a superpower of the era and brought the finest weapons and armor they could afford to transport on voyages. If they were so effective against plate, the Spanish would surely have taken some back to Spain to be displayed and researched and perhaps many more authentic ones may have survived to today.
The aztecs were a little behind technologically.
Great to see the channel growing and gaining traction still... love the various levels of 'blow up' and I think this is a Dark channel that can stick around for quite a while providing fact and intrigue 🎉🎉🎉
Great job on this video.
For someone that rarely does ads, you make excellent points on why it's good to get a VPN besides to usual reasons of privacy!
Definitely need a part 2 brother! 👍😝✌️ Boss content & Narrative as always!! 💯 Archery & slingshots.
What a great way to start my day!!
The Macuahuitl....They're not shards they're flaked biface obsidian teeth. An interesting melee weapon to make. Similar in many ways to some traditional Hawaiian shark tooth weapons.
❤🙏 love the channel!
Thanks, Dark5 Ancient Mysteries.
Thought Vikings fought with just hardened leather helmets, but don’t recall where I read that.
It’s possible metal helmets were common, just like much of other Viking history was destroyed on purpose by the victors as Vikings were horrible to the captured and losers. So naturally most history is lost. Just like how its more recently known Vikings had a thriving culture with art and jewelry. Though history would saw Vikings are evil and blood thirsty killers with only evil intent.
@@philiplubduck6107 Grandma was Danish, so we teased her about her Viking ancestry. They are finding more and more interesting artifacts from that culture recently.
Yeah its long past time I made a comment stating my appreciation of the years interesting,educational,content provided here.
Man that 5 second music loop got these people beside themselves
You should go on tour
Put a pole up for prominent locations and then go to three venues
I am SO hooked on D5 ‼️‼️‼️👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Saucy stuff 👍🏻
I'd like a video on Aztec Death Whistle.
Impressive. How did y'all get the That Was Epic dude to do the commentary in his Batman voice like that?
awesome
A video about different historical findings that break the "status quo" and are unexplainable without changing ALOT of "accepted" history
The genetic thing was interesting. Not enough crozamomes equals means that the Guinness cans couldn't breed no more. Sad.
what is that picture from? the armor depicted there is distinctly samurai armor but its got a Macuahuitl
I had no idea there were no Aztec weapons in existence O_O
That's strange to think about. Imagine there just being no more classic broadswords or no more historic katanas.
There are still 3 or 4 shieds that are amazing, they used thousands of feathers to make them
One helmet you forgot to mention, is that of the "Sutton Hoo", which lies along a bank of the tidal estuary of the River Deben. On the opposite bank the harbour town of Woodbridge stands 7 miles (11 km) from the North Sea. It's listed as being "Anglo Saxon" but there is no way this claim is true.
That Mayan suit of armor looks like samurai armor?
I find it hard to believe that a martial culture like the Vikings would rarely have worn helmets. Throughout history, a helmet was usually the first piece of armor a warrior acquired. Our ancestors were just as smart as we are and would certainly have noticed the lethality of head wounds. I think it's more likely that for reasons we don't currently know, helmets were reused until no longer serviceable and then the metal was recycled for something else. It is a bit odd, though, that other items of armor apparently weren't treated in the same manner.
Is it possible that helmets were culturally more significant? Most images i've seen of Norse gods with armor on the helmet is usually the most ornate part while the rest of their armor looks plain in comparison. That in itself is no surprise as many warrior cultures decorated helmets. Given that ancestor worship being a major part of their beliefs a helmet being passed down throughout its time till lost or rendered useless like you said would make sense.
It probably doesn't help however a lot of the places where the Vikings fought are not exactly ideal locations to preserve anything due to it being a wetter climate. Its hard to even know how widespread chain mail was amongst them
The Vikings wanted to go to Valhalla.
@@Necrodermishit that one on the head.
Helms were definitely a ceremonial piece for the Norse, like someone else said, they're hard to make and require more material than most weapons, which makes them more expensive. Vikings were well known for their berserkers, who'd often, if not wearing some kind of animal pelt, would fight almost completely naked. War was a sport for these people.
@@Titleist710MBwarrior cultures tend to get a bit over the top at times. Mongols in particular waged massive wars like it was a hunting sport. To a lesser extent the Chinese and the Japanese had vicious civil wars lasting well over a century that would make you think after the first ten years they were doing it for fun

Things I learnt from this video today: Netflix has a ban against VPNs and proxy servers.
Leaving aside that the entire point of meso-american inter-state combat was the taking of captives for ransom or sacrifice to Kukulkán. The idea was to brain or incapacitate a man, not hack him to bits.
3:55 you pronounced that pretty good!
WTF is with so many historical artifacts being destroyed by fire!? It’s like keep the shit stored in stone walled rooms and don’t leave burning candles laying around.
Gash, this is the one and only channel I need to set the speed at 0,75x bc the speed he is talking.😅 otherwise I need to go to the bathroom and 💩 bc the stress. I like the content so don’t say I don’t need to watch.
From what I have read during the Bronze Age collapse, the Sea People killed all the men.
And no one knows what the sea peoples were
@@joshthepatriot1869 someone does.
@@joshthepatriot1869 Theories point to pre-greek civilizations like the Minoans.
Several of the Sea People's have been identified. Some even acted as mercenaries for Egypt.
@@Woogsie whatever you reckon.
One clash between good 'ol European steel and simple wood and obsidian and that prehistoric weapon would be smashed. Same against steel armor.

Good for you getting paid for your content. Very few channels I'll watch the ad's in short of. This is one of them.
Y ask Y?😮
Interesting piece on the collapse of the Y chromosome. I had never heard that before, or even given it any consideration but it certainly makes sense. Human beings have never been so good at anything as they have been at killing other human beings. We just can't seem to get past that and it kind of makes one wonder where we might be as a species if we only could get past it.
IT SEEMS LIKE FIRE ALLWAYS IS THE FINAL ANSWER TO ALL TIMES WE FIND
I'm still trying to find the original Everlasting Gobstopper🍬
It was personal.
How are they unexplained ancient artifacts.
But you clearly explained each one.
dont ask questions
👍🏽🔥
Historically 13 years old was the norm for troops to do battle even currently in Africa there’s large child forces that fight and historically men got married at 16 so 13/14 not a odd age to be a killer
I'm guessing the absence of Viking helmets is because they didn't lose them in battle but simply wore them home.
Regular Vikings may have worn a helmet with cris crossed iron bands and boiled leather plates; better than nothing and would not have lasted in a grave.
Well the Vikings used to put warriors in boat and and burn them in the sea after they died
Aztec fire brought the "makwa-wheatole" back home to its ancestors. 😂🎉

17 women for each male? Shie I was born in the wrong time loljk
Seeing how you pathetically walked back that joke i doubt you would of been desirable then either.
Bury me deep, so my bones don't become the playthings of dogs and pigs.
Take my sword and my shield, so they might fight again!
Speak my name only this once, so the God of War can know me.
Tell my family that I died well.
Bury me deep, so the birds of war cannot own my eyes.
Leave me naked in the earth, like when I was born.
Let me live again in the trees and the grass and the worms.
Know I danced to my end.
Let my foe lie where he fell.
Let him be forgotten.
Cast no tear for him.
Let him stink in the sun.
Bury me deep, next to my brothers and sons.
Let my people live free.
Long will I be gone, my moment short and precious, and I gave it with all my heart.
Tomorrow will dawn a new day, one I made better with all I was.
I go now, the table in the great Hall awaits and I will drink with my Fathers forever.
Very interesting theory. I have another one that fits with your theory that male clan members remained within the clan. Not discounting that there were disputes, banishments, explorers and adventurers drawing clan members away from their core origins, as has occurred throughout history.
Two events that occurred within the time period mentioned in your video above 7,000 to 5,000 years ago.
1. Ramayana, relating to Lord Rama occurred around 7,000 years ago and
2. Mahabharata around 5,000 relating to Lord Krishna years ago both in India. The latter is also part of the Bhagavat Gita (Indian Holy Bible).
Both these events were basically about major wars that started and mainly occurred in and around India, whose boundaries extended much further than they do now. West to Syria, North to Tibet, and Southeast Asia.
The interesting point here is the descriptions given in these texts, as well as some recently discovered geo and archeological evidence shows that nuclear weapons had been used. The weapons described as vaporizing an army on the move and causing a river to boil. The only weapon that can do that now is a nuclear weapon. The other is rock turning into glassy substance over a wide area.
The fallout could cause the overall birth rate to reduce significantly, as it effects females more than males. Results from nuclear fallout tests to exposed local populations available online.
Another theory is that as the majority of males died out during this conflict. Times would hard for survival post conflict.
What are the birth defects in nuclear testing?
The most common defects seen at birth were anencephaly, cleft palate, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, club foot, polydactyly (additional finger or toe), and syndactyly (fusion of two or more fingers or toes).
Perhaps this is why India has the highest prevalence of the above birth defects. That's another topic.
What would be interesting is, if any of the bones dug out from the bog had any of these defects. Currently 1 in 700? Perhaps it was higher back then? I can't wait to hear.
I think Indira has high birth defect cause of the incest
Sounds like Tom green

The Y chromosome is shrinking in all mammals, it isn’t just humans.
They chromosome collapse happened a little under 6,000 years ago. This was when nearly all men had the same grandfather. His name was Noah.
Doesn't this sound like what lizard people want you to believe,
The Y Chromosome Collapse still exists, lurking, waiting for the next great catastrophe...current low birth rates have made this possible.
Music name from the first story? Please.
"defending the Meso-Americans against the Spanish conquistadors..." yah mate and also for butchering the shit out of and dominating each other. It is sad that no actual examples remain.
Let them rest.
the chromosome thing could be women going crazy and killing off men in some sort of revolt. I am sure they had a hard fucking life as most did back then . maybe women were enslaved and revolted. burned everything down and that's why we have no records . to erase the trauma. this could be a really cool movie.
The mysterious is all that's left that entertains me nowadays. Comedy? Sucks. Dramas? Dead horse syndrome. Sports? Bread and circuses aren't for me. News? I'll form my own opinions. With the mysterious, I am allowed to think. What, where, how,who???? I can wonder...

The government of the German Third Reich did not engage in "treasure hunting". The government created the Kunst Korps which protected significant art treasures from throughout Europe from aerial bombing and artillery attacks by hiding them in salt mines underground. I met a veteran of the Kunst Korps while on holiday in Leningrad in 1990. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring had some of these protected art pieces on display in his home in the German Alps but never considered them as his property. During the Weimar period, many Germans were forced to sell their art collections at rock-bottom prices to wealthy Jews, who were in the process of economically ravaging Germany and stealing the wealth of the citizenry. The Third Reich passed a law to confiscate these works of art with the goal of returning them to their original owners, and if they could not be identified or located, to make these works the property of the State, to be displayed in museums and other public places. If you consider yourself to be a serious historian, you will investigate this matter further, consulting authentic German language sources from 1933 to 1945 instead of Allied propaganda and Jewish fables.
Your words read as propaganda.
A lot of thieves operate on that premise. Using it to justify their own thievery. They believe that it's ok to steal from you, because you stole it first. The Nazis got it down to an art form. That dude that wrote that comment has got his head up his rectum. To say they didn't engage in treasure hunting is just part of that revisionist history B.S. @@SchoolforHackers
