In spite of their ferocity, they were incredible mariners, explorers, as well as traders. Their shipbuilding skills were cutting edge for the time. Yes, more Viking content PLEASE.
This sounds like a metal festival. Lasts for days and weeks. No chairs (destroyed on day 1), stupid games, drinking, growling, tales of epic quests, barbecue all day and beating each other up for fun in a moshpit.
As a Dane I am pretty happy to be descended from such valiant partiers. Not surprising when you consider that the Norse religion's vision of paradise chiefly included fighting and partying all day and featured an immortal pig that one could eat over and over again :-) 😆
you think that let's say Canute the Great expected to munch on pork for all eternity ? first church in Ribe was built during the reign of Horik II and ours in Hedeby even a few yrs earlier under his predecessor Horik den Gamle ....and his predecesor/co-ruler Harald Klak already converted in the 820s ......those silly fairytales of starving Icelanders about never ending pork supply n stuff.....
I’ve bee pan binge watching this channel for maybe almost a week now. And I am unable to get the very quote from this channel outta my head. That is the “Beer Flood!!!” Quote. Too funny. This channel is too much fun.
Good morning to ALL I hope everyone has a truly stellar day!!!! It's gorgeous outside a little chilly but the skies are clear sun is out birds singing and WEIRD HISTORY has new content my favorite Sunday indulgence 😊 !!!!!As beautiful as it is outside in Middle Tennessee right now I'm very grateful to even be alive the tornado that hit Tennessee on 4/1/23 destroyed a historic mill a little convience store I used to go to ALOT a lumber company and the roof of a very old and very small post office maybe 60 p.o boxes if that! Several homes were critically damaged alot of folks are homeless but grateful to be alive!!! I'm a little over 5 miles from where this occurred I was up & in my bathroom with my mom and animals with a mattress over the top of us to hopefully block anything that might happen!! So very thankful to be watching Weird History this morning!!!! #blessedtobehere This channel takes me away from stress I love the narration the topics keep me interested I just appreciate it that's all everyone have a fantastic day
I just got through watching a guy who has a channel about the Vikings. You left out Finland, we come from the ice and snow land of the midnight sun and the hot springs flow.
About 17 years ago, a Viking stealthily invaded our homestead in the guise of a small toe-headed warlord. The atrocities comment against chicken nuggies are vast, but that was what felt like a lifetime ago. Walked up the trail with him to consider taking up the grill for the summer. I still remember his first day in raiding school, never scared but also never quiet and now we are learning loot management. Vikings gotta sail.
Thank you for that Animorphs joke. As someone who still has his collection of 54 main titles, Megamorphs, The Andalite Chronicles, the Hork Bajir Chronicles, Alternamorphs, and Visser... Where was I going with this? Oh well, I have to get back to organizing my bookshelf. 🤣
The Samí did that only because he had a good recipe for mead which they hoped they could incorporate into their own recipes. It's always been about mead, people.
You should totally do a video about Bert Keischer AKA "The Machine"! In 1997, Rolling Stone did an article about him where he was named "the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country." The film Van Wilder is based on him!
As a Vikinger, when you partied, you drank enough mead to leave Loki catatonic. You lay with enough women to leave Freyr with an inferiority complex. And you got into enough unnecessary fights to make Odin feel like maybe he should just chill for a bit...
@@ElisaFob I figured that was the most appropriate way to refer to the Scandinavian raiders of the Viking age. _'Viking'_ meaning something like _'a voyage of raiding and exploration'._ Which was more of a thing you did than a thing you were. So a person going on a Viking would, I guess be a Vikinger.
Please make a video about Emma Goldman! Well, there's a reason for the lenght of the party and that is that a hangover is best cured by just continuing drinking haha!
Second the Emma Goldman suggestion. And Alex Berkman for that matter. And Kropotkin, Bakunin, pretty much any anarchist would make a great video. And Mother Jones as well.
The neighbors were not angry about the Vikings' raiding and pillaging; everyone did that. They were jealous of the Vikings long, flowing, flaxen mullets.
I would attempt a two week celebration like that, but I would not drink that much. I am not a fan of drinking for the sake of getting drunk. Minus the dangerous parts and the sacrifices, that party is a winner. If the entire thing is hosted by people from Sweden, it would be a phenomena! Making it as authentic as possible would be the key, it would need to be like living those moments in history.

Imagine if Scandinavia resisted Christianity pass the 1000s, would we be talking about the Scandinavian crusades of the 12 and 13 centuries. Lithuania could have kept their beliefs up to the 15th century or longer. Tho eventually force would have been used as always as history has shown

Traders..yah if you wouldnt well theyd take what they wanted..thats y noone liked them!thieves invaders n not too brite!
How would them being good explorers, traders, and ship builders spite their ferocity?
And apparently created the first firearms in Europe.
More Viking content please! 💯❤️
A 2 week Viking party sounds very similar to Spring Break.
Those Viking parties were definitely the precursors to intense frat parties.🥳
If you let mankind run haywire that will cause us turn into wild animals.
A+ video!
What a brilliant topic, images, commentary, and narration!
That structure at 2:41...they should build those for party halls today!
My history class started using your videos
Weird History, and Weird History Food are some of my most favorite channels on YT

Fantastic video and narration.
A round of 👏 👏👏👏👏 for pronunciation too! 🏆
Thanks for the video! 🙂
5:47 Viking music is actually very good it’s not all throat singing and shouting. Harold Foss uses actual instruments from the time
Are you insinuating that throat singing and shouting in music is not good?
@@erikbudrow1255 “Viking music is actually very good” shouldn’t have repeat myself cause you can’t read
LOL.. Sitting here in Hobro(an old viking town), Denmark.. With hangover from 2 days of partying 🎉🍻
More viking videos please!

Beowulf is such a great story.
We read that for the literature section of one of our English classes in high school.

Finnish mythology is very interesting too their gods and monsters are very fierce
@@calcaleb7041 thank you.
Zeppelin aye
The Finns were totally different from the Norse.

I'd most definitely attend a 2 week viking party
Nobody cares.
When they said their gonna drink like gods they meant it 🍻
WH, Awesome as always. Hope TIMELINE comes back. Cheers from 🇨🇦✌️
“wedding with an open bar”; you’re killin me!

YO I HAVE THE FULL ANIMOPHS COLLECTION TOO YO THATS TO COOL IVE NEVER MET ANYONE ELSE WHO DOES
Nerds
It's great to be an early supporter of this channel!
We're like the cool kids that have the first pairs of Air Jordans!
Your narration has a real viking swagger today! That's good voice.
YAAS! The Weird History guy! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Apparently ABBA was the band performing that night. (Personally, I am a huge ABBA fan). 🤣
I picture a lot of people at a Viking party going "ARRGGGGG"
So if the Vikings ended in the late 11th Century, then did they party like it was 1299?
You should do a video about druids.
I can give you link for a video if you want it’s 2 hrs but give a history of all the accounts of the druids
@@calcaleb7041 i would love a link 😍👍🏻
Yesss omg 😍

Ain't no party like a Viking party 'cause a Viking party comes after the Blót!
I'm Finnish, vikings tried invading us a few times... We let one of them live.
I’m Norse , I admire your people and gods

@@ivareskesner2019 meat people?
@@tilopahylott3486 Yes, mate. Meat people. It's always about that crispy leg.
They were...., "Finnished?!"
Hahahahhahahhahahahhahabab
Simon Whistler's sister loves the Animorphs series, he talked about that on one of his videos.
I'd like to see a WV history or something like that
i would love to go to one of their parties

Hell yes I’d attend a two week long Viking party! Who wouldn’t?
I’m down.
A two week party, awesome!🍺🍺🍺
Do one on Roman parties, aka bacchanalia
Thanks for this! 🗡 #WeirdHistory #Party #Vikings #VikingParties
I'd love to see a video about life on a long ship on a long voyage
Imagine actual Vikings watching a Minnesota Vikings game.
They would be in discus in what they saw especially the qb play 😂
@@calcaleb7041 🤣
They wouldn't understand football 🏈🦶
Imagine Giants watching the New York Giants
“Ain’t no party like a Viking party….cause a Viking party don’t stop!”……for two weeks
I regularly went to parties in the 1970s that lasted for days. No blot sacrifices tho'!
I was born a tote too late

Vikings! Gotta luv em!
They definitely should have used the mosh pit, or slam dancing at an acacia strain or carnifex show for the party shot!

I did wonder what happened to my Animorphs books I had as a kid..
awesome
Party like it's 999
Would I attend a 2-week Viking party? Hell YEAH! I would attend, just as my forefathers did.
The neighbors were not angry about the Vikings' raiding and pillaging; everyone did that. They were jealous of the Vikings long, flowing, flaxen mullets.
There is a party game called Viking Master (or Viking Warrior?). I have seen it once before and it looked fun, but never played it myself.
So why the thumbnail of the winged helmet?
hell yeah i would attend!!! i got some viking blood in me💙✨

Well, this was something. Wild. Almost like a frat party.
Sounds like a typical Saturday night with the boys at the farm...
You said they enjoyed live music. As opposed to what other music back then?
Weird history introduced the Minnesota Vikings to the one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eaters
How did I know this was gonna attract the kind of viewers who like Odal Rune and Sonnenrad tattoos
Yes
What were 17th century pirate parties like?
If only somebody had introduced them to the game Twister
Amon Amarth with their long boats on stage 🤘📯🤘
I’ve “partied” several times with Norwegians. Definite combat parties. That is one thing I miss after retiring.
