Ingvar came from my hometown strängnäs, he has his burialmound only 12km from city center and a rune script about his travels inbedded in the walls of our cathedral. (they used his runestone as a buildingstone and decoration when constructing the cathedral 800 years ago)
Julius Ceaser saw Vikings in boats sail past the Roman galleons in port in Alexandria, Egypt. He wrote about it. And he ordered his ships to pursue. Roman ships could make about 3 knots. The Viking boats made about 11 knots. Much faster. He even described the men as having long hair and beards. Blonde and red in color. At 11 knots the Vikings on a direct line out of the Mediterranean Sea could have, possibly made North America in 2 weeks. Plus many islands, currents, winds etc would have been of great help. The Vikings knew the Earth and had a form of latitude and longitude. They knew their position and where they were and, where they were going.
The vikings went down to Georgia They was lookin' for a soul to steal They was in a bind 'cause they was way behind And they was willing to make a deal When they came across this young man Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot And theVikings jumped up on a hickory stump And said "Boy, let me tell you what"
I remember doing a little research about this topic on local Georgian websites. Some sources claim that even though nost vikings left the country, there were a few who decided to stay, they remained in Western part of Imereti and Guria region (close to kutaisi).
The real name for Russians is Muscovite from Muscovey. Formed by people who agreed to collect taxes for the mongols. Stabbing people in the back even then.
Swedish Vikings under the leadership of Rurik founded the power center Gårdarike around year 850. A few years later, they had also subdued the Kingdom of Kiev, which then became part of Rurik's growing empire. Already in the year 874, the Byzantine emperor had recruited Vikings from Gårdarike as his bodyguard. When Basil II formally founded the Varangian Guard in the year 988, the force consisted of at least 6,000 Vikings from Kievan Rus/Kiev, which was Byzantium's name for Gårdarike.
The Rus did not destroy the entire Khazar Khaganate, just the parts in Ukraine and along the big rivers that go to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Let steppe nomads finished the part of the Khazar Khaganate in modern Chechnya and Dagestan Russia.
Ingvar was the grandchild to the famous swedish king Erik the victorious (Eiríkr inn sigrsæli). Jaroslav I of Kiev was married to the swedish princess Ingegerd Olofsdotter, daughter to the swedish king Olof Skötkonung (Óláfr skautkonungr)
Cool story as always! I knew something about this story, but now I know for sure! Thanks! Are you sure about "early Russian state"? As I remember, Novgorod was (if we use term Early state) first russian-slavik state, and even that become state, strong and dominant, after Mongols. Yaroslav on the other hand was based and ruled in Kyev, Ukraine, or as you say early Ukrainian state. Not Russian..
Really interesting, when I was tought this in school they told me that the Vikings were taken as slaves by Liparit tho. And are those runes still there in Sweden?
If you're talking about the easterly central European high grass country Georgia, then hey. You talking about that janky swamp that smells like barf and skittles then I gatta go. Peace!
Was Sarkaland just the area of Georgia? If so I thought perhaps the Georgians calling themselves Tsvarketli or something like that could explain the name.
@@StoicHistorian I guess they just grouped us with our neighbors yeah, just like what Russians did at first publicizing us as muslims just to fit in with the rest of Caucasians lol
I suppose everything east of the Black Sea is serkland? Because that’s also what I’ve heard they called the caspian areas, which were actually Muslim (saracen)

Ohhh... THAT Georgia haha.... I was thinking this was a conspiracy video for half a second 😂
That's what made me click haha. I wanted to see proof of ruins or something to visit
I had my fingers crossed it wasn't.🤞 But it was a good video. 🙇♂️
They did enter US territories tho, this is honestly more surprising and interesting
Same here lol
I thought Georgia was a woman.

That is so impressive
That is pretty cool but also pisses me off

He must have been a time travellar then?
Julius Ceaser didn't see Vikings. He wrote about the German tribe peoples of the time, as well as the Celtic peoples of Gaul and Britain at the time
Too early for that name, but being descendants of the people of Atlantis did have hidden perks.
The vikings went down to Georgia
They was lookin' for a soul to steal
They was in a bind 'cause they was way behind
And they was willing to make a deal
When they came across this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And theVikings jumped up on a hickory stump
And said "Boy, let me tell you what"
Bro😂😂😂😂 that’s too much
Bagrat played that fiddle hard
I learned about this civil war in school but I didn't know that vikings were involved
Excellent 👌
LOL
LOL
Remember Leif Erickson burning Atlanta? Those were indeed dark days for Dixie

Russia didn't exist at this time. Kiev did.
An early rus state
@@StoicHistorian yes, the founders of the Rus
As a ✡✡✡✡City, like today!

When reading the title, I thought "I hope it's 'Georgia' the country, not 'Georgia' the state!"

Thank you for an interesting journey with Ingvar and his Vikings.
Thank you for watching
@@StoicHistorian You're welcome. 2+5 = seven words for the algoritm. 😊
Good stuff you're getting better & better!
Thanks man! Glad you watched
Cool story as always! I knew something about this story, but now I know for sure! Thanks!

Very interesting i have never heard anything about this before
saerkland probably comes from the old norse word, "saerk", meaning a tunic, or a piece of cloth to cover the upper body.
You have a Dutch name.
@@antoniescargo1529 it's Danish :).
Really interesting, when I was tought this in school they told me that the Vikings were taken as slaves by Liparit tho. And are those runes still there in Sweden?
Very interesting and yes they are still in Sweden
Can you made a video of the naval batle of DIU in 1509?
fascinating tale
If you're talking about the easterly central European high grass country Georgia, then hey.
You talking about that janky swamp that smells like barf and skittles then I gatta go. Peace!
The Battle of Sasireti took place in 1042 at the village of Sasireti, Georgia.
No, no, no. It was the "Fart-Ravelled". When can auto-bot voice say what
Валхалла, вах!
Next video, Vikings in Mongolia
I thought is is ATL Georgia in US.
Was Sarkaland just the area of Georgia? If so I thought perhaps the Georgians calling themselves Tsvarketli or something like that could explain the name.
Sarkland was more of a broad term for the east and south
we call this land Sakartvelo, which means the land of Kartvelians.
Im Georgian i have no idea wtf tsvarketli is
Atl vikings ?
At first l thought Georgia? Really? Then reality set in.
Got ya!
Viking is stupid name. Use rather Norman because they was men from north. There were mens from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, north Russia.
Would you say Marcus Aurelius was more stoic than Cicaro ?
Also Marcus learned a lot from Antonius pias
There isn’t really a stoic measuring device, it’s all about what you feel for yourself man
They landed just south of Savannah and raided native camps for Cherokee women.
The Greeks went there ! The name Georgia is greek !
well this is weird for me, I lived in Sakartvelo about a decade ago and heard some stories about this, just assumed it was all made up!
First 😁
Why are you whispering?
Someone noticed😂 because I’m under cover
Serkland means land of tunics/robes,/Cothes. because they saw Burkas and the Covered Women
"early Russian State" yeah how about Noooo
Cope harder
Why not
@@StoicHistoriandont mind them, just another pseudo intellectual hair splitter
Pro Ukraine anti Russian fanatic, no doubt?
Go Russia lol
Why did they call us Saracans? Georgia was never muslim
I know it is strange, just grouped into association with their neighbors
@@StoicHistorian I guess they just grouped us with our neighbors yeah, just like what Russians did at first publicizing us as muslims just to fit in with the rest of Caucasians lol
Another lost tribe😢
I suppose everything east of the Black Sea is serkland? Because that’s also what I’ve heard they called the caspian areas, which were actually Muslim (saracen)
yeah grouping by association is what i presumed
That's a racist comment by you. @@StoicHistorian
@@Chris-us6pk nope it’s what the sources say
@@StoicHistorian You are spreading misinformation and disinformation to further your fanatical racist narrative.
Oh....Georgia the country not the U.S. state. LOL
Got ya!
@@StoicHistorian Well they were in North America thought their might of been new discovered or something. Good click bait though. LOL
Why did you even think of the state? The country has 100x more history than all of the states combined
Keep up bro we will support you🫵🏻❤️🩹
I thought is is ATL Georgia in US.
The uploader knew exactly what he was doing here 😂
