I had always enjoyed reading myths as a child, its both, highly interesting and highly educational. In this case, with Norse mythology, which i dont know much about, tells us about how people of Scandinavia thought and acted 1000 years ago and we can always learn how people work and how they might think and act today. Thanks for posting! ❣️
Heimer saved him and Thor's life because it he hadn't cut the line the venom from Jormungandr's coils would've released a toxic cloud that would've killed both of them
I am really looking forward to your videos on indian mythology...Our epics, Mahabharata and Ramayana, have a lot of characters I would love to see you narrate about!
I want to see how every mythology syncs with one another.. i feel gods are same and called by different names from place to place and i always try to relate them
I think many people miss the point of this myth. It's very reminiscent of the Vedic story of Indra, and how he slew the dragon Vrtra and freed the waters after drinking Soma which empowered him to do so. Indra is the Vedic storm god. He rode a chariot and wielded a mighty club called Vajra. Thor is also storm god. He also rides a chariot and he wields a mighty hammer called Mjölnir. In both myths, the following motifs are seen: •Storm god must retrieve a batch of liquid •Storm god drinks beverage to refresh himself •Storm god fights dragon to get the liquid •Storm god brings the liquid home Something interesting to note is that Scandinavians generally replaced the mythic role of chariots with boats because Scandinavia was not a climate where chariots were useful, but where boats were. Indra fights Vrtra on a chatiot, Thor fights Jörmungandr on a boat. Whats very interesting is how different these stories are even though they both descend from a common story (if you're unaware, Vedanta and Heathenry both descend from the religion of Proto-Indo-Europeans 10,000 years ago and are very related, the same goes for Hellensim and other Pagan religions, though not all of them). I think the Norse version was probably told in a more entertaining light in the Eddas than it was by the actual Norse since the Eddas were written by Christians who perscribed no metaphysical meaning to them, but the skeleton of the Norse story and the Vedic story are identical.
@@thedarkstranger963 look up Survive the Jive on TH-cam, he has many great educational videos on this stuff. He's politically conservative but most his videos don't show it, though some do but it's rare. I don't mind personally but some people might, but his channel is a gem if you can look past the few instances of political opinion. Another great channel is Jackson Crawford, he's an American professor and Old Norse specialist. He's very by the books and offers a lot of great resources. If you like to read, I recommend reading the 4 Vedas of Hinduism and then comparing the prayers, stories and rituals described in them to Norse stuff.
@@BallSnatcher2003 So to lift something so large that it encircles the world Thor would be as strong as Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology that holds up the sky. But somehow The Hulk is stronger...
He’s Thor, son of Odin, and strongest of the Aesir. When Mjölnir strikes the sky stabs with thunderbolts so you can imagine And no im not counting Marvel
@@david9243 You described who Thor is and what Mjolnir is capable of. You didn't answer the question of Thor's size. The earth is 24, 902 miles in circumference. Imagine the size of the hook. Imagine the size of the bait.
I already know a lot of greek mythology thanks to the book Persy Jackson and the greek gods, personal research this channel and an other called mythology and fiction explained wich i highly recomend, but i really like to now more about both norse and egyptian mythology so plese keep doing these videos dude.

👏👏👏👏
Growing up in a fisher town in Denmark, these stories are still a huge part of the folklore

This one is going to be interesting. *gets popcorn*
Thanks for the upload
Thor could be a competitor in an eating contest.

"Consubstantiation" is a term describing the Lutheran beliefs related to the Eucharist. It is not a synonym for "demonstration".
The giant sound like Darth Vader 1:32
A video explaining the beginning would be great
Kris Paul they’ve already done that
The most epic battle than now later and beyond forever
So the moral of the story is
Always be prepared to kill a massive snake
To get drunk
Hey what you mean!?!?

@@thedarkstranger963 of course man, no problem
Tyr’s father is Odin but his step father is a giant
Thought it was jormungandr?
It is
If the Midgard Serpent is large enough that he encircles the world, how big is Thor that he can fish something that big?
He’s really strong, not really big...
His physical strength is around ummmm. 370,000
He max out strength

Go wrestle with yourself in the mirror Thor see who is the fairest of them all!
Devon Larratt sent me here! Hail Jormungandr
What poor historians you are! The Midgard serpent IS named Joermungander - understood?
Thor is a social justice warrior. He's ashamed of admitting it . its not cool and women don't like it.
Thor kinda sounds like a dummy...
He is.
Lol
Yep thors not the smartest
