The "stock footage" came from the following RiffTrax movies (thanks Conor Lastowka!):
"Dinosaurus" (stop-motion dinosaurs) www.rifftrax.com/dinosaurus
"Dinosaurs: The Age of the Terrible Lizard" (cartoon dinosaurs) www.rifftrax.com/dinosaurs-the-age-of-the-terrible-lizard
"Berserker: Hell's Warrior" (most of the viking footage) www.rifftrax.com/berserker-hells-warrior
"Jack the Giant Killer" (rope-throwing viking) www.rifftrax.com/rifftrax-live-jack-the-giant-killer
Hearing the runes read aloud exactly as they would have been spoken all those millions of years ago was so beautiful. Sent chills down my spine. What a beautiful language.
Truly. I hope he makes tutorial videos for speaking this beautiful tongue
As an Old Swedish speaker, I can attest that Dr. Crawford's Old Swedish pronunciation is excellent.
First time hearing the dinosaur dialect. Not too dissimilar from Danish. Fascinating.
i'm excited for when they discover ancient swedish recipes
All I can picture now is Swedish Chef from the Muppets battling Velociraptors.
POV: You just turned on the History Channel for the first time in 10 years
I see you watch Joel Haver
@@ahegaomemnon2059 Literally watched that vid right before seeing this one and thought it was fitting
Be careful, the History Channel might just take this seriously.
Lol
Actually they were the Aliens. Nordic Aliens - Asgardians specifically...
@@AB8511 In all seriousness a space faring viking-like alien race going around the milkyway plundering alien worlds would be a pretty awesom sience-fiction setting.
@@thehellhound8582 They were hunting those dinos... You know like Old Norse settlements in Greenland traded those ivory stuff from narwhals and walruses. So these folks hunted the dinosaurs into the extinction. That is why they have never returned to the Earth, nothing of interest here anymore...
@@AB8511 I was thinking more like the raiding that the Vikings did in Europe during the early and middle of the middle ages. That way you get more of a planet hopping vibe like how One Piece travels from island to island and encounters new and interesting locals and people everywhere, so think One Piece in space with Vikings but with the raiding in-and-out style treasure grabs and the coercion of traders as Vikings were historically quite fond of the "you buy this and your life for just 30 pieces of gold" type of trading.
I love that Dr. Crawford turns it over to the blank side and keeps reading!
Hahahahhaha
Dino....saurs
The thing that blows my mind that no one's talking about is the vikings predicted the birth of Christ. They put B.C in their carving. This means that vikings were the original Christians
Dr Jackson Crawford doing Muppets voices is one of the most funniest things ever
"It was something like back from the homeland... y'know, Minnesota" loooool
I wonder how many takes it took to do the swedish chef bit...
How do you know the Swedish were here?
Well, who else would they be? Norwegian?
@@tomrogue13 Nono see if it was Archaeo-Norwegian it would have been Hinga not Hunga, and if it was Archaeo-Danish it would have been Hynga (prononce yun with a stod)
Can we get a blooper reel of all the times you messed up trying to translate without laughing?
Is Crawford the next Buster Keaton?? Who knows...
he barely got through the clip he used
You can hear his voice break toward the end.
Hé went full Swedish Chef. Never go full Swedish Chef. I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.
That Crawford managed to make all those "swedish" noises and keep a straight face is just amazing, I couldn't keep my giggles in, haha :'D Tack!
Maybe he didn't keep a straight face. There was a convenient cut to stock footage.
Wow, this is why I come to Dr. Crawfords channel. Solid facts and evidence of the past, that have been locked away in Ivory Towers for too long!
Happy April!
It´s a pretty good April fools day joke .
This makes perfect sense. They also had electric guitars.
So amazing given how difficult it is to make an electric guitar out of stone! We're so ignorant of what the ancients knew!
They also traveled through time
@@coltonruscheinsky7863 Now you're just making things up
The vikings are actually why we call the electric guitar an "axe" 😂
Yes!! Those ancients could shred!!
I almost forgot what day it is, sir.
same XD
Right... supah brain fart...
@@theamericanviking1835 you and me both
took me 30 seconds
I smiling already, but I lost it when Dr Crawford started reading in reconstructed Swedish Chef!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I wish I could speak Old Swedish as well as you do.
I thought it was modern Swedish.
If only! I guess we'll all have to practice!
I thought it was danish
Dr. Crawford is truly at the cutting edge of viking age research.
I was really confused.... then I realized what day it was -.-
Btw I burst out laughing when Swedish chef appeared.
The part I literally laughed out loud at was the disclaimer about pronunciations. Because OF COURSE we should expect that disclaimer.
Frankly, the artistic renderings of the great battle are deeply moving. I cried. This is the evidence of humans (Vikings) and dinosaurs (dinosaurs) living together (well, fighting together) that the world needs in this time of division and separation. I can only hope that every who sees this is equally moved. THIS IS SCIENCE!
How else could the T-Rexes have become extinct? Great Viking-VeganDino Alliance of 70m BC.
I live for this day, every year, in anticipation of Dr. Crawford's sense of humor. Bonus points for the scenes from Dinosaurus!
Can't believe all this really happened 150,420,069 years ago!!! So shocking!!! 😲😲😲
At first this seemed a little bit fishy, but the 3D rendering of the events sold me. 🤣🤣
I laughed so many times! You have a wonderful Swedish accent! Thank you for lifting my spirits in an otherwise gloomy time. Much love from Sweden.
They called us tinfoil conspiracy theorists. Who's laughing now?
Check the date of today and see why they're still laughing.
@@steakslapn9724 bruh
me
Hahahahah! As usual, sir, you set the high bar. 😂
The Modern Swedish reconstruction was priceless.
Nööö, we höönestly dåånt söond like daat at öll, I pråmise...
Ahh who am I kidding, it was freaking spot on ! =)
This is SO awesome! Who says scholars don't have a sense of humor?
Pre-historic Swedish sounded a lot like pre-historic Danish.
I'm sorry, Dr. Crawford, but I think there's en error in your translation. What you translated as "Velociraptor" probably more likely refers to a Deinonychus. You have to be careful with that, the Old Cretaceous Swedish terms for both species are very similar. But we have to be accurate about a find like this!
I'm offended now!
I believe Karen predates your opinions by at least 2.4 billion years. You simply aren't old enough to be offended untill you can say it's been angering you since the Dead Sea was still sick.
@@NeilBraun I'm convinced now!
I easily understood every word Dr. J.
I´w got a neighbor and friend whos a cook.
Hes speaking with the exact same accent,, 👍😎👍.
Cheers from Sweden,, 🍻😂👍.
The dollar store price tags still stuck on the 3D artistic rendering....
The most overlooked joke here is that they dated it using BC. LOL
“...There’s no way there were Swedes here in Colorado during dinosaur times, and I said, ‘who do you think was here then, the Norwegians?’” 🤣 Sverige 🇸🇪 💯
"What do you think was here then, the Norwegians?" 🤣
This video made my day 😂 thank you Dr. Crawford!
This was some of the most hilarious stuff I have ever seen xD The seriousness this channel usually delivers is like a giant buildup for this joke!
This is the kind of cutting edge research I want to see.
Can't wait for the rest of academia to catch up, so I can say, "I *told* you so!"
The runestone reading had me laughing to tears, Well done.
This is a profoundly amazing discovery, that has confirmed all of the suspicions of my childhood.
This is my third Jackson Crawford April fools in a row. First one that didn’t fool me at first though.
When he showed actual archival footage of Matthew Mossbrucker’s dig! Then we were graced with some legitimate Swedish Chef, and it snowballed from there. ...just so much fun 😁
I enjoyed you turning the laser printed rune stone over like a page in a book. Nice touch. :)
"dino ... saurs" 😁
"mining my own business, looking for bitcoin"
In some parts of Colorado erosion is so bad you don’t even need to mine for BitCoin as they can lay partially exposed on surface of the ground.
I knew it.
Stoic, professional Jackson Crawford: "Hurdy gurdy burdy."
I don’t know how you kept a straight face for this. Amazing. Absolutely beautiful!
ROFL I lost it when you started translating 😂😂😂
Hahahha! Thank you for doing this, Jackson! xD
How many takes did it take for you to do this with a straight face?
I always look forward to Dr. Crawford’s April Fools episodes. 😊
I love the Swedish Chef version of Old Norse
The Dinosaur extinction explained: They all got hacked to pieces by Dane axes...
I made the mistake of eating... and nearly choking due to laughter while watching this. Thank you for the delight, Dr. Crawford.
OMG I laughed so much at this! I'd just been watching something really serious about COVID and I thought this was going to be something serious, debunking another fake runestone. It wasn't until we got to Jackson's reading and translation that I cottoned on.... *facepalm*
Really needed this! Thank you for a great laugh! xxx
My favorite annual upload from this channel.
This is amazing and completely aligns with creation theories.
LOL
As a creationist.
This made me laugh, haha.
Love it.
I don't understand.
I thought it was proven that the Vikings sailed in their spaceships to Earth from Saturn's moon Ymir in around 200 AD.
These things aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe the 200 AD journey was just them returning from a long vacation.
Kittredge, down to that spelling, is my mother's maiden name so that along with vikings and dinosaurs made this a must click. I was not disappointed! Thanks for this...
I just laughed until I cried! Thank you.
"What do you think was here, then, the Norwegians?!"
Me, a Swede: Well, can't argue with that logic
I didn't hear a thing after Dr. Jackson Crawford spoke the the language all I could hear was me laughing 😆
You got me, haha, I knew something was up, but forgot about April fools. Absolutely laughed out loud! Thanks I needed that!
I was wondering wtf then I realize its april fools day good job guys thanks for the laugh
I was having fun Dr, and then you started translating and I lost it
Not gonna lie, it took me to the "herdy gerdy werdy" part for it to click. I'm working and was only half paying attention. I am also not awake yet. 😆
Good to see some hard hitting science about our dinosaur-riding forebears! Hurde-Verde, ya know?
I dont know how he kept a straight face? He had to be laughing, how many takes just to get that scene lol
Thanks for including our analysis of this epic discovery 🤭
Proud Swede here! I never would have thought! 😂 Perfect pronunciation of the ancient Swedish too!
2:20, You did not disappoint...
this made my day better, thank you
Heeeeey! I just saw this on the internet... It must be true!!! Area 51 is real!
Man, I'm still crying 😂. I was drinking when I started watching this, I almost choked! 🤣
The way you look at the camera while saying "B...C...", it's priceless.
That voice reminds me of the Bicycle Repairman sketch from the Monthly Python's Flying Circus.
Thank you for doing that 'How to speak Old Norse' series cause now I can type in Old Norse and read *Some* Old Norse.
Best moment may have been the UPC tag still on the dinosaur in the dramatic 3d rendering.
I was 1m22 into this video before I realized this was a well-put April Fool's joke.
WELL PLAYED
The "Kittredge Runestone" is a copy of runestone U937 from Uppsala, Sweden, and reads "þiakn auk kunar raistu staina
aftiR uaþr bruþur sin", "Thegn and Gunnarr raised the stones after their brother Vethr" (The rendering of the names are mine and might not be standard)
What impressed me most was the Norse seers and the accuracy of their predictions, as evidenced by the thoughtful xxxxxxBC dating they placed on the runestone.
I'm not taking the joke, you can keep it. Information of Vikings riding dinosaurs accepted. Thank you for your contribution.
I appreciate the effort that went into this. Now I'm gonna wait for the ring tone to drop X;D
Stunning. I can’t believe this... this is moving
I knew it! They always said I was crazy, but I knew it!
Vikings fighting Dinosaurs would be f*ing epic
I love this thank you Jackson!
Plot twist: the Vikings caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. They also could time travel.
Lmao that was hilarious! Great way to start my day. Thank you all
Nicely done Dr. Crawford et al. Lmao
When I saw the thumbnail I instantly recognized it as an April fools Day prank.
"Oh, Doctor Crawford has an April 1st video, this is gonna be some crazy BS"
Did not disappoint! I second Victor Kreig's request for a blooper reel.
The melodramatic presentation discredits the amazing find.
Got a great laugh from this!
I went from very confused on April 3rd to almost dying from laughter two and a half minutes later
Oh come on! You expect me to believe that Swedish said all that without once saying "børk børk børk"?
I did not see this coming, it is gold.
That's amazing!! Jokes aside, This may acutally be the greatest discovery in human history!
You made me laugh till tears....thanks!
I saw this post on Instagram and you got me for a second
2:42 best Irving Finkel impression I've ever heard
*slow clap leading to standing ovation*
Well played Dr. Crawford. Well played.
Best aprils fools joke I've seen today🤣🤣
This is great! LOL I totally forgot it was April 1...I was like wha??? 🤣
Hehehe 🤪 I absolutely love this channel!! You tried so hard to keep such a serious face! Had me laughing out loud!! 🤣
