Age of the Dragonships Evolution of the Viking Longship #3 (975-1027)
video description
edit: I was overall really disappointed with this video. I was expecting much more based on the comments. I appreciate the work you did.
The time covered was hardly one generation and it was incredibly fragmented. Vikings had been traveling the earth for at least 10 thousand years before the time covered in this video.
Despite that tiny time frame covered, the timeline wanders around quite a bit, bouncing around between places and rulers. Maybe tighten it up a bit with the chronology and geography. Also, the boats are definitely taking backseat in this video. If it had no title and I watched it and asked about it, I would say it was about various rulers of (as they existed then) Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark after the Middle Eastern, Abrahamic mythologies, culture and power, began to be enforced and then, ultimately dominated this region and decimated Germanic, Olde Norse culture.
I don't understand the video selected to go along with the audio. For example, you are showing a couple guys walking empty streets in some European town from like last year, while discussing Viking politics. You discuss Viking merchants while video of modern day, USA coins are raining down over a black background, used over and over again. The narrator is discussing raiding lands on horseback, while video of a brand new SUV is driving down some highway, like a car commercial. These kinds of things. It doesn't make any sense to me. Anyway, I am an architect and an anthropologist and both critique each other thoroughly in academia and out in the private corporate world. So, those of you outside this community just relax.

This is sooo deceptive! No one has EVER seen a viking longboat! They only found a piece of wood that had originally been a viking ship however, although preserved under the sedement at the bottom of the water, was totally crushed! They than asked an artist to paint a vicking ship, he said how do I do that when I never saw one? They told him, if you were a viking, what would your ship look like? He painted a painting from his imagination and they than took the crushed wood, pressed here, added pieces there and viola! A viking ship? How do I know this? Because the people in Scandinavia, including the museum who printed the book sold neer the exhibit clearly state this as they are simply honest people! Its ALL science fiction! Stop the lies!

History Time. it would be of assistance to include Vatican commencing the monastic movement in England 597 Thanet aka Canterbury Tales! 1066 saw the Syrian Refugee Crisis in England wherein Vatican flooded England with Syrians. As history goes, since 2015 Vatican has undertaken the Norman Conquest to take over the world. The Common law of england were the laws common to the Heptarchy. At 1213 King John atturned the laws common to the Heptarchy into the code of Cana'an (canon) law. The rest is history!

Hey im descended from some of these people.
My dad's family is Olaf.
And it was latinized to Oliver.
Those pictures of the older men look really similar to my people.
The ones with the beards.
I wonder if they have DNA data. i could compare family ties to.
Those areas of conflict and names sound distantly familiar.
Why is the king Cnut holding a French looking sceptor.

Thorkalt the Tall's Father was Strut-Haralsson of Skane.
The reason why Thorkalt took the seating of East Anglia was because his elder brother Jarl Sigvaldr took over their father's seat of Skane.
These brother's both members of the brotherhood known as the Jomsvikingr's. his Elder brother Jarl Sigvaldr was actually it's 3rd Commander of the Jomsborg Jomsvikingr warrior band

Came here with a growing interest in the north sea/scandinavian history as a result of watching the anime and I am shocked to know that characters like Sweyn (Forkbeard who also seems to have a a fork-shaped beard in the series, Thorkell the Tall, Ari, Canute and Leif were quite accurately written which even more, grows my interest in this history. Well made video

Sorry to be a dissenting voice, but from my own experience NONE of these alleged Viking longships would have remained afloat for long enough to even vist their coastal mates, let alone undertake 1000-mile journeys to invade other countries, no matter how close they might have been.
The sea does not forgive idiots.

You have to remake this documentary. Viking ships find in Salme, Saaremaa, Estonia is dated 750 a. d. If you want to know more, then search about Salme ships. There is finding of 2 viking ships burial all togheter with over 40 viking warriors from whom one is belived to be a Swedish king.

For anyone interested in 'Viking Age Swords' they should see 'The Viking Sword What It Was And Was Not' by Peter Johnsson here on You tube. BUT, be sure to read the newest comments Before wasting almost an hour listening to Peter Johnsson's Very Many Mistakes And Wrong Information.

They look like if they capsize it's potentially a huge cost in lives lost & they just look so easily capsizeable at that length. I'm slightly losing my point thinking about it, but I bet they didn't make many that long & when they did I bet they kept to sailing them in calmer seas

I'm not saying this is not interesting or very well made, but when I clicked on a video called Evolution of the Viking Longship, I expected it to be the main or sole topic. It's very much a side remark as it stands. It should be renamed.

2: 10 _Literacy was rare during those murky centuries. So much so that that time was referred to as the Dark Ages_
That's fine though, the video from back then seems pretty clear. Glad we have that.

Considering what is going on in the US these days, I cant help but wonder if Norway will have to pay reparations to the descendants of people abducted from England to be sold into slavery

Hi Pete, and thank you for preserving our history! This video inspired me to visit Roskilde and the ship museum earlier this year. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in history.
