Bird symbols were common in Middle Ages. Byzantines adopted two headed eagle, which was later taken by Restored Russia state. Poles used white eagle (with nest as site for capital). Hungarians had "Turul" (species is not firmly defined). And Getmanic Holy Roman Empire adopted Roman eagle. BTW, Standing Lion is used much in Nordics, with Sweden and Finland using it to this day. Not sure (on top of my had) is it related with Wasa family. BTW, Vladyslav Wasa could hav ruled Poland, Sweden and Russia, providing that he could be Caholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christian in same time.
traditional eagle in poland's banner from 10 century seems to be related to common medieval tradition of europe as well as older one dedicated to slavic faith (two "rarogi" birds of fire arounded of God not thunder like Perun his son from mother earth but light,who might be called Ra,we call eagle by "orzeł" this one,who reborn like fenix birds of fire,in early medieval tradition eagle from banners or coins looked like pawn's or any other unidentified animal to people from 15 century) and scythian banner's (we have both tradition of scythian eagle's as well as "royal scythian" dragon's banner's with "smok" dragon and king krak legends)
@@katon44 Setting up capital at Gniezno (nest) of white eagle had connection with old pagan divination of bird behaviour. Common in many Indo-Europeans. Romans used it a lot in early stages. And old pagan gods had many equivalents among variety of Indo Europeans
Read a book, vikings is not the same as the varangians, or the Rus. Also, ancient cultures can have more than one bird you know. Also, ravens are Odin's birds, not the symbol of all Vikings (which were not a united nation or front)
where did you source the image of a trident pendant with a hammer of thor on the back? i am not familiar with this archeological find and am not convinced
2:20 This Eagle is from Scythian animalistic culture, ancient Iranian mythology, Ardvi Sura Anahita, almost 100% similarity. For example, google Ardvi Sura Anahita dish with eagle found in Perm.
When I lived in Kyiv for a couple of years it was explained to me by my Friends and neighbors that it was a Hawk in a Power Dive!!! 🤠👍🇺🇦 P.s. Free Ukraine!!!
The earliest form of the bident looks an awful lot like a set of swept horns or antlers more so than a boat. If you consider the fact that it stems from people who hunted the Steppe from horseback for Deer, Antelope, and Wisent it makes more sense as they revered the strength, speed, and raw power of these animals as is evidenced by the artworks they created and tattooed upon themselves it makes more sense than an arrow or a boat.
Thank you for explaining all this in detail. I have been asking some friends in the Netherlands and even some neighbours. Many of them told me, - Ucraine being an agricultural region, - well it must be some kind of pitchfork...
Excellent video. My personal observation is that it is a ruler sign that signifies connection with God. Slavic belief in the magical number 3 is well documented and always associated with the spiritual-mystical world. Greetings to the Eastern Slavs.

@@Casmaniac As far as I know, the only bird the vikings made a picture of was the raven on the raven banner. In the Nordic mythology there are also a eagle and a hawk, and Freja had a falconsuit (Valshamr) so she could fly, but non of these other birds have been depicted. Only the raven has.

In Ukrainian we have separate words for trident as a fishing tool - tryzubets and as our coat of arms - tryzub. Yeah, they're pretty similar, but still different words. As to the our interpretation of the symbol, we've always knew that it is Volodymyr's sign. We're taught that in school and that is what written in our Constitution - "A sign of princely state of Volodymyr the Great". Since the start of the russian full-scale invasion I've started to see people saying that you could actually recognize different letters in the tryzub. Like that left "tooth" is similar to Cyrillic "B", intersection in the bottom central part looks like "O", middle "tooth" is "Л" and the right one is "Я". Put these letters together and you get a word воля - volia, which means one's will, like freewill or even liberty, im not a linguistics guy, don't quote me on that. And like that is part of the reason why we're never gonna surrender to the russians, because we've got this freewill or liberty word encoded in our very coat of arms.

One could argue that the tirdent is a symbol of the holy spirit. At least in catholicism, I have often noticed the downward facing bird as a symbol of the holy spirit and in my country's old farm houses, you can sometimes see a very similar symbol carved into a circle in the wall of the rooftop.

The Vikings symbol is not a falcon or eagle it's a Raven, because Odin the Norse God had two Ravens , the flag of the Danes back the also had a Raven

The trident is the sign of trade; the tool from Poseidon, the god of the waters. Vikings, rowed via the Dnjepr to Constantinopel; the second Rome.
The same symbol was found in the Kaliningrad region . probably Slavic Vikings or Baltic ones.
It is a water lilly.
