So I got a little carried away with writing this one. What was originally going to be one video on Viking longships is now a trilogy... Part 3- 'The Last Vikings' coming soon... I feel like Peter Jackson...

[TheTariqibnziyad]

thats not a youtube video thats a full fledged documentary !!! great work

[bouncingdude]

I'm half German and half Swedish. I had a Swedish mother and lived in Sweden for several years. I speak the language. When I hear Old Norse I can understand a little. I can also understand some Old Saxon when I listen to it. Icelandic is basically a continuation of Old Norse. It's interesting how languages have developed over the centuries.

A one hour video now? You're seriously spoiling us now. I can't imagine how much time it must have taken you man.

Dabbing starts at 8:07. Boi do I love History Time Documentaries > BBC Documentaries any day of the week!

[Angel-hmso]

I stumbled across part 1. Looked for part 2 and then subscribed. These need to be brought to the attention of bigger broadcasters. Pacing is great. Voice is wonderful and strong for narration. Content was great .It certainly captivated me.

[feral]

These should be used in schools to capture young peoples imaginations as they are easy to understand, historically accurate and far more interesting then listening to a bored teacher waffle on and on with state stanctioned biased(religous etc) nonsense..love your vids keep'em coming

[deanbuss]

Sail or no sail, I'm always impressed on how seemingly easy it was for the NORSEMAN, SWEDES / SCANDINAVIANS ECT to traverse the known and unknown world.
Much looking forward to it.3
Thanks 😁

My gosh, this production value is incredible! Keep making amazing videos, they are so good!

[misstiktok]

Imagine the places they visited and people they met.

Incredible adventures

[quentinburns]

This is really the best history of Vikings that I have seen. Outstanding and many surprising and status quo changing information.

[ryanaegis]

Thank you for being so unbiased and yet trying to showcase so much that so many of us are so proud of. Thank you for telling how Gamle Gorm united Denmark and how and why. Can't wait to hear about Sven Forkbeard and how he established the Northsea Empire just to die days later, and how it took Cnut the Great so long to reign in all the pieces again. Thank you, also, for listing the early leaders of the Great Heathen Army: Ivar, Halfdan, Ubbe, and Guthrum. All four are in the show Vikings, and each's memory is disgraced by the heresy that show has become. It is so nice to hear actual history and to hear it presented so well.

[michalisathanasoglou]

This is such an excellent production, the script you write and the way you present it, along with the timely use of sound effects and music, make for amazing atmosperic videos (or shall I say, documentaries?). While I find it hard to even sit through a 10-minute video, I found myself watching this till the end thinking that it's only been 15 mins. It's clear that you're very passionate about what you do, and a personal inspiration of mine. Youtube needs more content creators like you! Can't wait for the next part.

[markjohnson]

I like your program, it gives a background into the mindset of the people who wrote the story on the Kensington rune stone of Minnesota. The inscription tells about a Cleric who hired some Goths from Vineland to act as guides and transport in 1362.

[nathanscarlett]

Seriously, this day can't get any better. Both History with Hilbert and you release videos...amazing! Thank you for your hard work put into making these videos!

[HistoryHouseProductions]

I really like this narrative style of history.

[Killjoy_]

I seriously think your content gets better and better.

[dragoncrown]

this video makes me emotional, it's like i'm going on a tour back to a very interesting time in history, i feel somehow connected to the vikings, maybe because i'm norwegian idk, i find them to be fascinating.

[erictko]

Incredible. All of the praise you receive, which is a lot, is deserved.

[Azaghal]

This puts all professional documentaries I've ever seen to shame... And its not even close.
