- Not too much is known about this movie set in Iceland. It was build around 2009 and was never used. Now it just sits here rotting away.

Honestly this looks like a very peaceful place to start an actual village
Need a river nearby. And some woman to bear children
YOU GUYS ARE STRANGE

@Russell Bell hehe... Floki.
Bruno Jauregui lol I know that dude.The one who’s always with chandler and Chris right?
Vikings don't hide, ninjas do. Thus the only logical conclusion is that the village is in fact populated by ninjas.
10 years of weathering just makes it look more authentic
indeed
I agree!
Those huts are the equivalent of videogame houses you can't enter.

Woah. Now that I read that it could’ve been part of a video game

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He did walk into the side of the hut then turned glitching an inside view 😁
This is really going to confuse some archaeologists in about 500 years when the find out. Lol.
I often wonder if this kind of thing hasn't already happened. They claim every little idol they dig up was some God. How do they not know it's a 5000 year old action figure?
@crgzero not that cinderblock,concrete, rebar. People are still finding secret Nazi bunkers, some with gold and people are stupid enough to turn it in.☃️
I was thinking that myself, lol. Watch some PhD down the road, takes credit for a tremendous Viking discovery.
Chris Smith Lol 😂
😆🤣🤣😃😄😅😅😂
Well, now that it's rotting away, it looks way more authentic.
Why is that? Do you think houses looked like they were rotting away, as soon as they were built?
@@brucelee-oy4hv No, but as in every movie, that takes place in the middle ages for example, you imagine everything to be dirty as hell. People, their Clothes, streets, buildings. If stuff looks worn it tells a story, you know.
@@jbh2045 ok
Plot twist: they built it to let it rot away a bit and then come back in a decade to film
@@jbh2045 YES! i always have a hard time explaining to idiots that the "Dark Age" was a myth, people tend to think everyone and everything was so nasty and dirty and riddled with disease
I can't believe how primitively they lived just 10 years ago, truly amazing to see
@Richardo Frankie lol
LMAO
@Richardo Frankie r/woooshh
nice idiot bait there 10/10
i literally thought “omg it’s the set from shrek” completely ignoring the fact that that movie is animated.
🤣🤣u just made me realize Cuz I was thinking the same shit
OR IS IT????? (O_O)
Somebody once told me...
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
Little did we know the pyramids of Egypt Where a movie set . Left by the aliens
"Ayyyyy lmao, Quezxxxzxyxzxthiccclapass, I forgot my Oogle-Phone in Planet 3 in the past 4 Solar Systems."
"Nah bruv, we aint gonna go back, Logistics said that the monkeys got their hands on nukes"
there is still a lot to learn about the sphinx and pyramids. the egyptians didn't build them. a scientist call graham hancock realised decades ago. made dockos. other scientists agreed. then egypt banned them all from doing any more research. the sphinx has rain channels worn into it. the area was a rainforest about 12k years ago. this means the egyptians didn't build it
@@dayspoiler4608 I have heard this somewhere before too.
Wtf
@@dayspoiler4608 you ok?
My uncle has a friend that worked on this set.
Edit: I asked my uncle and he had a chat with his friend I got a message in Norwegian but I tried my best to translate it
“The film site was in planning suppose to be in a city in Iceland in a big building but the prices to rent or buy such a building were so high cost so they took some time to look for a new place and after a while they found the farm owner who wanted to give a fair price as long as he gets to decide what to do with the set afterwards messing he could tell us to tear it down or he could keep it if he likes it. He ended up keeping it and I visited it 3 years after building the set and he takes a small payment for people to come see it. We did finish the set or at least 90 percent but as I saw later a lot of it has deteriorated over the years. The movie was cancelled due to funding issues later on. The script was as close to Finnish as it was gonna get but there were debates about two parts of the movie the ending and an action in the center of the movie. They also had problem getting the actors as they wanted all people to speak Icelandic but had problems finding Icelandic actors. They were going to make a compromise and have some other Scandinavian actors speaking as close to Icelandic but again there were many disagreements. In the end the costs of all the workers like myself go to much and at the last month and the second last month we did not even get payed (but we get payed afterwards) therefore they shut down production due to the money problems and took up a loan to pay off the remaining people. “
Here is a second message I got the day after
“I forgot to say this I have actually been called a few months ago from the company I was working with when I work on making the building site and they wanted to hire me back because someone is going to film a new Viking age film here not the one back in 2010. So I will be going back soon to help restore the site if it goes through and we get it sorted out with plans. All I know is the movie will be called “Vikingr” they are still working on script and planing if it will be a film or a series. But there is also an Icelandic leader of the movie but he is not the same of the old movie. So I was glad to hear this because I always felt bad nothing happened to the site”
I actually searched it up afterwards to confirm it here is the link www.imdb.com/title/tt4109406/
I did not find the Icelandic leader of the film but I guess more information will come later.
Zid02 what was the movie

In Iceland people sleep every damned where. Backpackers and tourist laying in ditches and everything. I remember one time I pulled off next to a roadside map and there was a woman curled up in a sleeping bag behind it.
Tbh I think we should all just move there. Nothing's stopping any of us
Vikings covered there/their roofs in grass so enemy aircraft bombers couldn't see them.

Building all that and it will never be used.. sad in a way puting all that time into it.
Dunder although in a way it’s quite beautiful too..
Not to mention money aswll
I mean its not too late. its still standing. people/youtubers could make a quick mini series about vikings and just use it instead of going through all the time and effort of making a set in real life or cgi.
Dunder - make homes for the homeless
Maybe it has already been used before but they left the set like that after filming
Bruh just like go there and film a movie they already made the set.
Exactly
Some Random Name Exactly what I was thinking
And it looks even more authenthic now that it has some wear of time on it, it would be perfect.
@@neocodexx Perfect Indeed......look at all the money you can save. Use that money for other things for your film.
Go on then, go film one
Sad thing is they can grow grass on a roof better than I can on my lawn.
😆🤣🤣😆😆
Quit getting drunk and pissing on the grass lmao
I'm sure geographic location plays a part in that.
Thats nearly 10 years worth of "growth" on those rooftops 🤣
Your struggles are real.
ASG66 Chill your rude ass
I think that concrete house was there before, and they just camouflaged it as a rock instead of tearing it down.
Agreed.
I was thinking the same thing! That would account for the old wood stove and high standard of work
Agreed. The concrete looks way older than 10 years.. it is close to the sea, so it could be a part of a watch house/lighthouse or something
I was thinking that! But I’m really not confident in this topic so didn’t want to be alone on that opinion. There seems to be some “academics” in the comment section I knew might rip me apart 😂
I’m surprised he didn’t find some homeless guy just vibing in there
Won't be long, I'm on my way.
Don’t give Mayor de Blasio ideas. We’re already flying our bums to Hawaii
@@russiaprivjet 😂😂😂
Iceland has no homeless people
@@prophesytheorist5130lol. Thought the same.
There's something fascinating about abandoned places.
1000 years from now, this will be a very confusing archeological site found
Lmao
Just here to stop the joke police in advance and say that even if in the future there are remains of the site and they carbon date them to our present day it will still be quite confusing.
Merryweather we have records of this place it’s not like their is no records of its existence
The wandering Assassin LK are you dumb we will obviously lose all that in the course of a 1000 years
Wrong bro, I am archaeologist myself, When we excavate we use both Relative and absolute dating on materials we find. for features such as these we would use relative dating with the help of stratigraphy, layers of soil that help us put a chronological timeline in whether an artifact in situ is older or younger in the chronological space. for absolute dating we can use carbon C14 dating, which works with artifacts dating +45,000 years old after that number the half life of C14 wears off and turns into C13, however with C14 we can find the absolute date or an artifact by testing its carbon. Also since the wood found in this site is still present a future archaeologist can use Dendrochronology, which is basically testing the wood cuts the wood and dating its tree rings to see when this tree was growing and what conditions.
Homeless people: "it's free real estate"
Nothing to eat, no firewood, inside of houses are mud... no thank you
@Gunga Bunga Boogey fuck i'd buy it.
If I was who I was 30 years ago and came across this set as a kid, I would totally enact a scene where I was a hero who came back home to find my once peaceful village was now deserted and I would run around frantically pretending to look for my loved ones, then sit on contemplate seeking revenge on those who destroyed my home and go off on another journey.
that concrete barn thing was probably an abandoned home already there, they just built the mountain around it
This explains all the old temples, pyramids and other artifacts they were forgotten movie sets.
Explain. Are you meaning temples such as the Notre Dame, Sistine Chapel, Hagia Sophia are all parts of a movie set long forgotten? even the pyramids at Teotihuacan, Monte Alban, Pyramids of Giza are all parts of a forgotten defunct movie set???
@@orangutank626 yes
@@bubblegumfacebabe You must be joking...
@@orangutank626 no shit.
@@orangutank626 dude its a fricken joke
u know what strikes me immidiatly, these houses are all made of wood, yet their is not a single tree around...
The blocks for the pyramids were carried 500 miles
@G1zm0 abizmo I came here to say the same thing lol.
@@sdavis2678 not carried they pyramids where float along canals. To the pyramid s much evidence proves it just look it up
The vikings did not always build their houses/villages where the trees were, but sometimes brought the wood where they wanted to build their house/village.
A house/village in middle of nowhere made it much easier to see enemies in far distance, than if they was placed right next to a forrest.
The Vikings used Amazon drone delivery.
Someone should turn this into an Air BnB, with some TLC this would be an incredible place to stay
At 5:45 I realised I visited that house in my childhood. I remember the stairs, and the planks in front of the door and that weird white old oven right in the entrance for some reason. Pretty crazy to see, since that memory was almost gone. This was probably around 12, 13 years ago.
I remember there was nothing else around there at the time, so if this clarifies anything, they did not build that house for the movie.
It is just an old abandoned house that they were gonna build around probably.
But wow it is strange to watch a video that feels like a memory.
That's an impressive recreation. It's a shame it was never used and is slowly rotting away. Lumber is a fairly rare resource in Iceland.
lumber is imported to iceland as most other countries, so we buy our timber at the store like other people,
lol its worse in greenland?? go figure iceland is green -greenland is ice 🤦♀️🙄
@Honudes Gai It's always interesting, and too often more than a bit frustrating, to try and equate the modern American lifestyle to others who have no clue how things are here and why and why what they have VS what we have is not remotely a fair 1:1 comparative ratio either.
Especially in socio poltical operations and even technological/basic life operations requirements.
Maybe it can still be used as is because it is difficult to replicate natural rot like that.
@@ivarmarkusson382 As most other countries? Most other countries have huge forests. At least in Europe.
Damn those vikings were advanced, electricity and switchboard 1 thousand years ahead of time!
Check out the Baghdad Battery and the lamps shows in the Temple of Hathor.
Electricity is all around, to imagine the people who popped the 900ton of Baalbek onto it's support stones nice and level didn't notice lightening etc. is interesting but unlikely :D
It's weird to think that something like this probably took AGES to build in the past but now they're built for entertainment and end up never being used.
I guess you could say it's now
*Free Real estate*
This could still serve it's purpose as it's authentically 'aged' now. Especially for a low budget production. Just needs a safety assessment and some tidy up.
boomgoesblitzhound they could still use it as like an abandoned village
boomgoesblitzhound Hey asshole, relax. It could be used as an abandoned village as well or a ghost town. Ever think about that? Why are you so mad?
boomgoesblitzhound Imagine not thinking some villages were attacked and pillaged, add some dead bodies, fires, destruction, weapons laying about and it would look pretty cool. Seems like you should do some research on history you dingus.
@boomgoesblitzhound ok boomer
You’ve obviously never been in Iceland
Where's all the LARP'ers? They would have a field day there...
@Frank Begbie real edgy guy aint ya
Lol yes
Imagine if at midnight the village comes alive like “spirit away” and you see all the viking spirits doing their routine
And your stuck until morning
DJdevil319 I love that idea.
Lovely idea
Yeah that would be me outta there. Pistorius style.
This is were the first Iceland food chain started
They should film that movie in there, the set is already done for them so they save money too
Does anyone else constantly fantasize about living in a small rustic village like this, making those houses so cozy...
No. I'd love to live like that. Life would be so much better.
no
For a second , I thought this was a movie set from Lord of the Rings.
Big ol' biddies!

this feels like someone is using noclip to get inside buildings in an open world game
Lmfao right

Wtf is a noclip u nerd
*people 100 years later*: hmmm yes, this is a building from 100 years go. People used to live in here.
People will earn their PhDs deciphering the logic of all this.
"we are still trying to figure out why there are just blank boards on the inside with no rooms or furnishings"
I'm betting that "home base" was original to the property, and they hid it. This was great!
I agree! I realized that when I was editing the video.
yes, its a desolate abandonned farm they tried to cover up, so it didnt ruin the immersion. a rather nice idea.
Jacob Aubertin this for sure is not an IKEA house 😊
I am also thinking the structure under the mountain was the original barn.
It looks more like an old scientific or millitary instalation with all that concrete.
Now that the buildings are all aged and covered in grass & moss, it would be excellent for a short duration of filming at the right time of year. It was amazing to see all of this, and I love how you go the extra distance to show the inside and small details. Again, another great video! Thanks!
This is where the Tellitubbies was filmed
@Richardo Frankie yes Mr Lombardo!
There actually is an abandoned video on the teletubby location somewhere in youtube land
Imagine leaving the town after filming and you find out the whole world is like that
Like your entering a time machine villiage. Interesting
Dr. Jones like something out of the twilight zone 👀
Thats some SCP shit right here, cool concept
you got isekaiyed
@Zoe Kin But you can never leave.
Guys it's obvious why it was left unused. Because when they first built it, it would look way too new. So they let it sit in the weather for a decade or two, then film there when the village looks nice and worn out.
Theres a cult leader somewhere buying him and his pals 1 way plane tickets to their new pre made village lol
doubt it bro, this shit is dilapidated. Give a nice strong wind or a couple of rain showers more and shit will fall apart ontop of them. unless they are suicidal...well then yea I can see a cult running this place.
@False Flag look at its condition my bruv! its bogged to hells end!
@False FlagIts a movie set bro it wasnt built to last millennium
Carmichael Johnson this isn’t the little piggy’s house 😂
It'll be there in 100 years...
It'll just be underwater
A bit 2 windy. But none the less it would be a dream to live in a place like that if only food was not an issue.
The Vikings abandoned that village after they learned that toothless was heading their way.
10 years and it still looks that good if that was in the US everything would’ve been tagged and full of crackheads

@S H I Ω I N G lol have you been there?
I suspect that building with the oven in it was already there, and they built the "stone" around it to disguise it.
Yeay
That concrete is far more weathered compared to the wood sections. So it was there way before the rest of the set. If they were same time period, the wooden buildings would of been all rotten and fallen apart.
It is Floki's 'Asgard', that his people built then finally abandoned.
The turf on the surfaces makes it look beautiful honestly
That film crew is still there in the distance Chris, they're just waiting for the fog to lift!
Lol
😐🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂that made my laugh of the day thanku I pictured tht at beginning of video
the house.. that actually looks like a house, was exactly that, a house. it was not originally a part of the moive set
I think the house was there to start with. Looks like an old farm house that they then built the set around.
@@alloneword7427 that is correct. it was an abondonet farm house
Yes and the structure under the mountain was all poured concrete not concrete block, much older then 10 years

They built the movie set on top of the ruins of what once would have been a large prosperous farm.
I came here to write that. It does seem that the set is built over older barn and farmhouse structures. Not ancient, but probably early 1900's.
6:16 Little known fact, Vikings were some of the best electricians.
Had the privilege to visit this place in August. Such a cool spot
Seems like a waste of money for never being used.

@@Anarki187 did they leave it like that to simulate generally older buildings ?
@Delphinium Flower Ever heard of rotting?
Well. In these situations this choice was made for saving money.. at least the local crew and supplier got paid a decent wage
Vilusious X6ixTi9ineX no they’re not, it’s run down for a reason. They arnt using it anymore bro.
What an amazing find!
Thank you for sharing this!!
I think the house building was there already and everything was built around it, then they disguised the house as a "mountain". Most movies don't build a big house as "base" but use trailers and gazebos.
I love this, it evokes so many feelings. The hubris of man, building entire towns that are hollow inside just for entertainment. The abandoned feeling, truely there are ghosts living here. The absurdity of such a thing existing in the middle of nowhere. The fact that life goes on eternally, evidenced by the still-growing grass roofs. etc, etc.
Very cool explore...love the living roof tops...amazing- thanks for sharing!
Thanks Chris, it must have been a pretty hard existence back in the day for vikings especially living in an area like that and coping with the unforgiving weather. Thanks for showing us around and for sharing. x
This village was sponsored by raid shadow legends.
It scares me that you’re off on your own in these desolate places. Anything freaky or scary could happen and who’d hear you if you were in trouble. I love places like this but I’d need a buddy to go with, just in case. Be safe Chris wherever you roam. It’s a treat watching your adventures 🌟

Just came back from Iceland last year....man would have loved to visit that site. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are perfectly paced with a great balance of narration and silence. Well done.
Imagine seeing 300 vikings coming towards you in the distance
The hiking and photography mecca over there. I hope to one day explore this country.
This man found a Minecraft village
But it got pillage before he went there
Wow! This place is so spectacularly gorgeous! It actually looks like it was only recently created! It has really held up well. It looks like such a great place to have events, for photoshoots, to talk about the history .... so sad to see it abandoned.
Maybe that house made of concrete blocks was there before they built the movie set & they just adapted it?
thought the same thing...it is clearly built as a permanent structure
I had to laugh when you yelled “What the heck am I touching?” Ha!” What did you touch?
That couldn’t have been cheap to build. Never used and left to rot. Makes you wonder what movie it was built for.
I really liked this video. I'm always interested in "behind the scenes" of movies and even though this one wasn't used, it is cool anyway! Thanks for exploring it and sharing!
I feel bad for the people who built it. They put in a lot of effort but it never made it into a film. Somebody should use it for a movie someday. It's a very cool place.
This is interesting. Beautiful in its own way. I'd love to have seen it when it was fresh.. I enjoyed your adventure..
If I stumbled upon that I would’ve thought it was a genuine viking ruin
*_They got rushed and they all rage-quit._*
In about 100 years, some archeologist is going to be very confused.
Bear Gryls: Oh, look a village, that means i made it to civilization. See you in next epis... Hold on a second!
Very liveable for me! Love the off grid life! I'd find 1 spot to live and worked restoring on that site the rest of my life.
EXACTLY
Iceland has always been on my bucket list. What a great vlog thank you. 👍
Clearly an old farm house and barn that they built around and enhanced. Brilliant workmanship.
Game of Thrones and The vikings and several other high profile series was filmed in Iceland. I do believe parts of Braveheart was also filmed there. Why do you think it wasn't used? Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Braveheart was shot mostly in Ireland and Scotland
imagine the crew set up hidden cameras an when the movies comes out the post credit scene is this dude just walking around lost 😂 I dub it viking trolls
really cool! Thanks for showing us!
i randomly found this plae when i was traveling Iceland. Feelt so lucky to randomly stumble upon it. I had no clue it existed when researching my trip.
you could've told me this was a real viking village and i would've believed you.
Very Nostalgic when you first walked up. Looked very old real.
Each building is the beginning of a healthy structure! Bess believe id be up in there living and loving it!
That's really cool getting a perspective of what it looked like back in the 1600's
