Whatever has happened throughout the millennia - living in 2019 where historians put hours of video for free on the internet, makes me feel pretty damn fortunate. Thanks for the video.

I miss the days when history channel and others had documentaries of this quality. YouTube users make documentary films that blow multi million dollar film makers out of the water! Like this one. Bravo sir ! Top notch work

[paulmryglod]

I'd love to see ocean levels, geology and climate of the regions addressed as the history is told. It helps with the complete picture of the era.

Here is something that crossed my mind . The British isles were also big time part of bronze age Trade network . A few days ago I was replaying to comment on this video . And I suddenly remembered about Cornwall . Because Cornwall has a long tradition of tin mining . The phonecians and later the romans imported a lot of cornish tin . And Tin are an importent part of bronze making . Bronze is created mixing the metals cobber and tin . So that tradition properbly goes back the bronze age . And a lot of cornish tin must have been exported out of britain during the bronze age . So cornish/ British merchants were also part of huge bronze age Trade networks

my grandfather discovered two bronze age graves on his property in Höryda, Sweden. he found other evidence of earlier habitation in his field while farming like flint tools and other artifacts. just thought you'd find it intereseting to look in to.
his name was Ane Holmqvist in Höryda, Sweden might be hard to find but its a small village in Blekinge

Gotta love Youtube's auto-generated captions.. Actual audio - "modern Germanic tongue.." Captions - "modern demonic tongue.."

Knew near to nothing about Scandinavia from before the viking age. Thanks for making this video! Watched the entire thing in one sitting, I was so hooked.

[magnusekenhjarta]

Just re-listened this a year or so after first viewing it. As a man who watch about as many historic documentaries as most people eat bananas in a year, I place this into the highest sphere of truly excellent story telling. Broad, deep and utterly fascinating, this is history at its best! THANK YOU!!!

[kuzzbillington]

I had no idea that Scandinavia has such rich heritage so far back. The weight of this revelation made me very emotional.
Thank you for making this!

[weltvonalex]

wow this is a1 content, this has a quality i havent seen in years, reminds me on old tv documentaries before they went full history channel,

[azzlaird]

Probably the most interesting documentary I’ve ever seen, and about my own history for once

[antivalidisme]

Hyper-Borea such an hypnotizing name, I like to think Robert E. Howard would have loved your video. Great storytelling, and thank you so much for the amount work put in this one. Salutations.
Oh Kadesh

[elainealibrandi]

Thanks so much! This is wonderful. I love your videos. Recent archeologists have discovered, upon more careful examination, that some graves containing swords and other weapons are actually women's graves; scientists had assumed that the presence of weapons meant that the buried person had been a man.

[surfk]

Refreshing information without the "ancient technologies", or aliens gibberish.
Thank you!

[StefanMilo]

Awesome video man. Interesting stuff about the Yamnaya! I've been reading about the decline of the Neanderthals and they did not survive after the emergence of the Gravettian culture who may have originated on the Asian steppe. That geographical region has been SO crucial to European history.

[iahelcathartesaura]

One of the foremost enjoyable, superb, excellent things I have ever watched. Info with no drama or hype, no passing off of repetitive & meaningless foolishness as worthy info. Just pure info & wonder. Well explained, insightful, conversational as well as scholarly.

Extremely peaceful, enjoyable, relaxing, informative, mentally fulfilling & stimulating to watch & listen to.

I will gladly support this wonderful channel & your work. (Yes, as one commenter says here, you are doing what the History Channel should be doing.) A thousand thanks!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is one of the best videos I've seen on the Nordic Bronze Age

[erikholmlund]

Being a resident of northern Sweden, I immediately react to the fact that a mid-scandinavian border is being put as sort of frontier for the scandinavian bronze age. This documentary only covers the southern half of the scandinavian bronze age. Up north, there was a different culture, portrayed in this documentary as a "blank" area. Up here there are findings of the ananino bronze axes, an eastern type of axe, common among the fenno-ugric peoples, indicating an even further northern route of trade and influences, going between Sweden-Finland-Russia.

[Nozylatten]

Wow this is fantastic so far still watching.
