Welcome to the joke under the fold!

Did you know that there's evidence of Vikings upcycling their ships? It might be because of respect for their vessels... or maybe they couldn't a fjord a new one.

Leave a comment with the word FJORD to let me know you were here!

Gotta be honest, History meets Art Attack meets Sabrina from answer in progress is a show that I never knew I needed, but I really like it.

[trashraccoon]

this series has bdg's unraveled energy in the way it embraces chaos but also it's so stupid simply because using these materials to build a boat is an exercise in dumbassery. i love it.

[pixelmochiid]

The unnecessary effort of cutting up the watermelon to reassemble the watermelon made this video way too enjoyable

[MormonBallerina]

“You don’t think the History Channel is pro-world-domination?” 😂

[carl-gustavmorgen]

As a Scandinavien Its always amazing to be mentioned, the Viking’s would be proud👍

[sutematsu]

I'd love to see you remake the Old Man House from Puget Sound, Washington. The techniques used to create ancient longhouses were surprisingly subtle and interesting!

[sintaspeaks]

Love to see Sabrina and the gang make history fun through creative and funny ways 😂 keep it up guys!

[emperorincxt]

Love it, Sabrina brings the best chaotic and also informative energy, cant wait for the next video!!

[ambehring]

It doesn’t seem the most complex, but I’d love to hear the history of windmills and see you make one! Bonus points if it can actually grind something.

[ristube]

12:52 I never thought I’d hear the Vikings craftsmanship being called cute 😂

[kikissolano]

Floki, the legendary ship builder would be proud of this waterelon viking dragon ship. 👏

[jeromeschlicker]

What you should build next is the great wall of china

[eaglesgambit]

Please build the Colosseum Next, please! Thanks. I enjoyed this one.

[MrLuigiBean]

This show is so, so good. Can't wait for more!!

[jacobbeltran]

We love watching videos with Sabrina from Answers in Progress!

[erinkelley]

The hanging gardens of babalon! (lol) But I think a bridge( the arkadiko bridge, perhaps, bc one article told me it was real old) would be cool. Also, Sabrina, Melissa, I love you guys so much! Your videos are incredible and I'm so grateful that you are sharing them with us!
