33:00 term “Slavs” has an interesting etymology. It derives from the Old Slavic word “slovo,” which means “word” or “speech.” Because someone who spoke slavic language you could understand unlike german speakers thats why they are still called "Niemcy" in west slavic languages which derives from word for mute

Aside from settling in Canada there are mummified dogs of danish breed in South America from before Columbus. So they likely went much further. There are stories that Columbus got hold of maps of America from the vikings travels via the knights Templars who are cultural inheritors of the vikings and likely were still connected strongly up to Denmark and later Scotland that then also had those maps (Roselyn Chapel) to go to America also before Columbus.
The Russian Civil War is a somewhat well tread topic that your perspective on would be interesting to hear about. Every ideological system pitted against each other trying to rise from the ashes of the pre-WW1 world is right up your alley.

This is the best content you've put out in my opinion. I want you to do a whole video on the dark ages, high middle ages, than early modern period. Your tirade on it was super interesting. God I could through a hundred topics at you that'd I'd love to hear. I hope you do hundreds of these.
A lot of south western Finland and Estonia were Scandinavian. We have our own names for all of the islands and the today capital of Finland bares reference to the old Scandinavian tribe of the Hälsings. The Estonian Capitals name literally means the Danish fortress in Estonian.
On the dark age question, 12th century bc (bronze age collapse) leads to greek dark age, then 5th century ad (Roman collapse) leads to early middle age. This suggests a periodicity of around 1600 - 1700 years. That suggests civilizational collapse begetting dark age around 2100 ad? So not this current saeculum transition, but the next one instead.
If you like the Vikings so mush how about a alternate history scenario where the Vikings clans/tribes unite at the start of the Viking age and instead of the Vikings simply launching raises they launch Mongol style Conquests ?

Paris had been the capital before the Viking era. The Merovingian kings were all buried at St Denis, or the mainline ones anyway. Also Spain was a Gothic nation-state before the Muslims.
The Normans established several countries themselves, one in Sicily, a city in Spain, Tunisia, Amtioch, half of Anatolia at one point and a castle in west Africa for God knows why. All from the duchy of Normandy, had a couple thousand more Danes and couple thousand Norwegians settled Normandy and conquered all of France, the Mediterranean sea would of become a Norman lake.

I love your analysis of the Dark Ages. Reading Chris Wickham you can really see how the pre-feudal order was fundamentally "yeomanistic" in that it was based on the assumption that ordinary people were self-sufficient and could fight in skirmishes.
Been trying to write a fantasy world and been basing the northern section of the world a off of the Scandinavia, this video might make it more in depth than anticipated so thanks.
You raised a very good point! WE NEED A WHOLE VIDEO! Why doesn't the bible or other religious texts reference the Pyramids? Do any religious texts mention them? I'd say the elephant in the room. But lets just say largest man made structure in the world at the time.
There is actually some debate about the horns on the helmets here in Denmark. Most is attributed to Wagner opera portrayals of the vikings as well as their christian victims portrayal of them as devils. And there is a general consensus that horned helmets were not used. with that being said it is inconclusive, there were only very few archaeological finds of actual viking era helmets and there were finds of miniature figures from the viking ages that wore horned helmets, but those are believed to portray a mythical time, perhaps with the awareness of iron age helmets of Scandinavia that were in fact horned, but it would have been something old and archaic by the viking age, like bringing a Picklehaube to the war in Ukraine today, it could theoretically happen. Perhaps it did actually exist in the viking age but as a symbol like the tycoon hat of today being a passed on symbol of capitalists while no actual capitalists of today wears one. In 1000 years time when looking back at today future historians can be forgiven for thinking that capitalists of today wore tycoon hats or that steam locomotives were the norm because most pictograms depicting a train uses the silhouette of a steam locomotive.
One thing I don't like hearing when people talk about the "Dark Ages" was the oft-repeated talking point that "Society Collapsed". Society did not "Collapse", the so-called "Barbarians" reached cultural and political parity with Rome in the 5th and 6th Centuries AD, and the Franks, Visigoths, Saxons, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Lombards all built their kingdoms on Roman infrastructure (both physically and culturally). The fall of Rome marks more a triumph of proto-Feudalism over the centralized Oligarchic nation-state, than an abject failure of Civilization in Europe. Also, nitpick: 18:20 this map is anachronistic, the Tang Dynasty still ruled China in 800 AD (and would continue to do so until 930 AD), and the Tibetan Empire is absent.
Wait, so, vikings (raiders) were frowned upon in Scandinavia, yet their religious was centered on a War God (Tyr or Woden, I'm guessing) and in order to go to 'heaven' you had to die in battle? That seems conflicting. Maybe we're overestimating the importance of the Warrior religion because it was mostly warriors who went out of Scandinavia.
My only complaint about this is that it's too interesting to go to sleep to! I'll have to listen to something else for now and come back to this when I'm not trying to sleep. 😆
The first crusader king was Sigurd Jorsalfare of Norway, he pretty much went "Viking for Jesus". Same motivations as his heathen ancestors 100 years before, but in the name of Jesus and against Muslims and Christians who had a different interpretation on Christianity than himself.
