Vikings just set foot in north america and disappeared. They did nothing. Spaniards discovered, conquered, founded prosperous colonies and brought new stuff in Europe. That made the spanish empire under Charles Quint the richest empire of the time. And we don't know if vikings were the 1st europeans to find america, they've found roman coins in south america, Who knows who were the 1st.
The Vikings discovered the Maritimes of Canada. My Canadian ancestors, were both Eric The Red(Ross), and his son, Lief Ericsson, as well as Skralings (1st Nation Peoples). Columbus, never landed in any part of continental N America, much less any part of what is now the USA or Mexico. He only landed on present day Cuba and Hispaniola (Dominica and Haiti). He did attempt to send a landing party, from the Santa Maria, but they never returned to their ship, and were presumed lost at sea. Cheers from SpoCanada.

In English, as in this video, the days of the week are named after the Anglo-Saxon pagan gods. Wednesday is named for Woden, not Odin. Tiw's daeg, Thunre's daeg similarly. The gods are related to Norse, but the names differ. Not everything Germanic is "Viking"
Sounds like a loving tribe. Makes all the movies we've seen of them pillaging and plundering believable since they left sickly children alone in the woods to die or threw them in the sea. Compassion wasn't one of their traits
As far as Europeans are concerned, Columbus discovered America (the Caribbean), for Europeans. While it's fun to point at Leif's failed expedition and say "he was there first", dying off and not resulting in long-term, successful settlement makes it difficult to credit him with anything other than getting his people killed, far from home, for absolutely nothing.
Yes, this is true i remember my grand parents telling me this story abut weekdays when i was a children. Tirsdag - tuesday Onsdag- wednesday Torsdag - thursday Fredag - friday This is the days what i remember being told about when i was children
Leif Ericson's (he was Eric the Red's son after all) first name is pronounced leaf. Some Vikings did have horns on their helmets, there may not have been many but there were some.
I would die laughing if I saw a viking helmet with horns on the battlefield. It's ridiculous. The Sutton hoo looks cool. The best lookin helmet is the corinthian with horizontal crest, then the roman imperial centurion helmet with horizontal crest, then viking sutton hoo.
Its pronounced voden. Woden is german. The barbaric tribes of Germany that fled during the roman occupation are the ancestors of the now norse. Over time they forgot where they came from
Lmfao I can't understand how they can say a certain group of humans discovered a place when humans were already there.. that is like saying you discovered a crowded Walmart on black friday... I pissed my history teacher off in elementary school when I pointed out that fact... his face turned almost purple.🤣🤣

Well actually the natives were here before anybody so they discovered the continent..they had an entire civilization that was thriving prior to European Colonization.so any claims of discovering the North American continent starts amd ends with natives..
Viking is a Profession not a people. Viking is like saying teacher in it's time. Viking bay in Norway is their origin. They are just Norse... nothing special.

Watch your language lol
Odin is not the god of Ravens he is the god of wisdom, poetry and death
Is thor god of hammers? Lol
Yeah I would have thought that Loki was associated with the raven... 📺🤔🧐❓❗
Odin is associated with ravens
He is mentioned as many names but two stand out
The Raven King and The Allfather
Mind I said associated!

The first viking settlement was in Newfoundland, Canada!! According to the Academics!!
Guessing!!!!
@@mawi1172 no, they found traces of the foundations in Newfoundland, Canada of what the Vikings called Vinland
It was the first settlement in the New World. Vikings had existed in Scandinavia in some form or another for ~3000 years at that point.

They was wild bro
In English, the days of the week are named after the English Pagan gods, which although related to the Norse pantheon, is not the same.

Viking's wore armour & used weapons of those that they faught, so they had a shitload of styles & gear from all over the world.

No that’s the definition of savage
Ah yes the god of war ‘tire’ king of Michelin 😒
They weren't called vikings either, they went a viking ,which meant trading or on a raid .

1 helm found yet you can say they didn’t wear horns lol.
There are plenty of helmets from before the viking age and none had horns. Neither did the Normand helmets...
Only the strong survive Spartans and a lot of cultures did the same thing

My helmet have wings not horns
Yes, this is true i remember my grand parents telling me this story abut weekdays when i was a children.
Tirsdag - tuesday
Onsdag- wednesday

What about Tako Tuesday’s???
Humpback Wednesday???😂
What about Sunday and Monday?
By Odins beard ! Die Gotterdammerung !
wow I definitely did not know any of these
Christopher Columbus : I discovered America !
Vikings and a Muslim dude 🧍
Leif Ericson's (he was Eric the Red's son after all) first name is pronounced leaf. Some Vikings did have horns on their helmets, there may not have been many but there were some.
In what language? The way computer guy here said it was a lot closer to the way Scandinavians say it than leaf.
Thank you professor, that puts my mind at ease (pronounced "eez")
@@chrisos1053 well, that's life, (pronounced "lief")
It's pronounced layf not leaf and no, viking helmets didn't have horns...
I would die laughing if I saw a viking helmet with horns on the battlefield.
It's ridiculous.
The Sutton hoo looks cool. The best lookin helmet is the corinthian with horizontal crest, then the roman imperial centurion helmet with horizontal crest, then viking sutton hoo.
Happy Leif Erickson day! 🧽
C.heers to one of my ancestors
Native Americans beat the vikings and Columbus to America by 20,000 years.
I knew all these except the abandoning of children.
Enjoy the past .... But live in the present
Newfoundland Canada. Not USA.
Them where to types the devil Vikings have horns and the good Vikings helmet have wings
Okay 👌
Poor babies
I wonder how many people will watch this and take it to be actual facts?
Morons: "DERRR... I get my facts from social media... DERRR"
U didn't say Monday munendaug
Munendaug, munendaug, dont trust that daug...🎶
Its pronounced voden. Woden is german. The barbaric tribes of Germany that fled during the roman occupation are the ancestors of the now norse. Over time they forgot where they came from
Nope, Roman explorers encountered the precursors of the vikings in Scandinavia and described then as great sailors...
Columbus did not touch American soil. Know the Truth
