00:00:04,420 --> 00:00:08,460
Powerful gods who rule
advanced technology.
2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:14,400
Odin sat on the throne
from which he could see everything.
3
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:19,200
Strange creatures that
they make extraordinary weapons.
4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,140
The dwarves were
those who created.
5
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:25,440
Odin's spear and Thor's hammer.
6
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:29,880
And descriptions of the passage through
time and space.
7
00:00:29,881 --> 00:00:35,520
Bifrost could be a kind of
a folkloric way of explaining a wormhole.
8
00:00:35,860 --> 00:00:40,140
Ancient Norse legends sound
like modern science fiction.
9
00:00:40,460 --> 00:00:43,722
But can there be reports
about aliens
10
00:00:43,723 --> 00:00:47,960
beings who still exist today
visiting our planet?
11
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:50,468
People who had contact
today they describe encounters
12
00:00:50,492 --> 00:00:52,620
which exactly match
with Norse mythology.
13
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:14,570
There is a country in Northern Europe
dramatic fjords and picturesque views.
14
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:17,270
Scandinavia is calling in the dense forest.
15
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:23,590
According to most modern interpretations,
Scandinavia includes the countries
16
00:01:23,591 --> 00:01:28,230
Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
17
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:33,290
And many centuries ago, this
the rugged landscape gave rise to
18
00:01:33,291 --> 00:01:37,550
durable and mysterious
a people called the Nordics.
19
00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:43,550
In the Early Bronze Age, it was
the number of Germanic peoples who ascended
20
00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:46,050
on this peninsula,
Scandinavian Peninsula.
21
00:01:46,435 --> 00:01:49,493
But they met with
completely different people with
22
00:01:49,494 --> 00:01:52,171
a different culture and
in a very different language.
23
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:57,350
In the end, these groups of people
they unite and become Nordic.
24
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:01,582
For many years, the Nordics
were a peaceful people who
25
00:02:01,583 --> 00:02:06,030
earned a living miserably
as farmers, fishermen and hunters.
26
00:02:06,790 --> 00:02:13,170
But that changed dramatically in the 8th century.
century AD with the rise of the Vikings.
27
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:18,730
Viking is a term for Scandinavian pirates and
attackers who left their mark on the world
28
00:02:18,731 --> 00:02:22,310
history between the late
700s and early 1000s.
29
00:02:22,770 --> 00:02:26,910
One thing we need to understand is
that Viking is technically a profession.
30
00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:28,910
These are not people who
they lived there.
31
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:32,130
Scientists are a people who
lived there called the Norse.
32
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:37,790
The Vikings were the ones who went to
pilgrimages and trading expeditions.
33
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:45,430
Sailing on its terrible rainbows
ships, the Vikings terrorized Europe.
34
00:02:45,630 --> 00:02:49,630
They could have hit anywhere and
seemingly without warning.
35
00:02:50,790 --> 00:02:55,630
Viking longships were excellent.
ships for traveling on the open ocean,
36
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:59,210
but also rivers and
far inland.

00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:01,450
No one really is

38
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:04,599
People were unprotected.
The cities were unprotected.
39
00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:07,590
Monasteries with huge
They were unprotected by the amount of gold.
40
00:03:08,190 --> 00:03:12,550
And so, when these attacks
started, everyone was surprised.
41
00:03:12,551 --> 00:03:16,570
The Vikings completely disrupted
balance of power across Europe.
42
00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:20,731
But despite their
reputation as fierce conquerors,
43
00:03:20,732 --> 00:03:23,310
The Vikings are also
were skilled traders.
44
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:27,830
And they set up trade routes
which reached all corners of the map.
45
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:32,918
The Vikings went east and
west to France and
46
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,010
down to Spain and
The Mediterranean from that direction.
47
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:42,811
And then east into what would become
Russia and down to places like Constantinople.
48
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:46,910
Long-term effects
Viking Age are numerous.
49
00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:51,850
There are huge linguistic influences on
languages like English and French.
50
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:56,590
There is enormous political influence
in Eastern Europe, where, for example,
51
00:03:56,591 --> 00:04:00,141
Russia gets its name from
from the name of the tribe
52
00:04:00,142 --> 00:04:03,690
Swedish Vikings who
attacked that part of Eastern Europe.
53
00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:08,790
We have a Byzantine emperor who
were guarded by Viking bodyguards.
54
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:12,530
We have Vikings in Baghdad.
who trade with the Romans.
55
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:13,550
We have Arab traders.
56
00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:18,770
We have Vikings in the New World who
they explore at least as far as present-day Canada.
57
00:04:19,090 --> 00:04:21,250
They reached all over the world.
58
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:26,107
The Viking Age lasted
is only 300 years old, from
59
00:04:26,108 --> 00:04:30,090
mid-8th century
until the 11th century.
60
00:04:30,930 --> 00:04:33,984
But despite their
achievements, many things
61
00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:36,991
about the Nordics remains
shrouded in mystery.
62
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:40,228
Unlike others
culture at that time, they didn't
63
00:04:40,229 --> 00:04:42,991
kept detailed written records
records of their history.
64
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:47,010
Instead, they wrote
short runic inscriptions.
65
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:49,950
Runes are an early form
Viking letter.
66
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:55,950
They were mainly used for carving in
stone, so we see a lot of rune stones.
67
00:04:57,050 --> 00:05:01,450
But the runes were a bit awkward for
writing, so things were usually short.
68
00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:04,350
It's not like written literature.
which we get later.
69
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:08,423
A lot from the Nordic
history remains unknown
70
00:05:08,424 --> 00:05:12,751
up to about 300
years after the Viking Age.
71
00:05:13,190 --> 00:05:15,768
We would know very,
very little if not
72
00:05:15,769 --> 00:05:18,771
there were two books from Iceland
from the 1200s called the Edda.
73
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,910
The first book was written by an Icelandic
a chieftain named Snorri Sturluson.
74
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:28,440
In the 1220s,
wrote the Prose Edda
75
00:05:28,441 --> 00:05:32,631
in order to protect
heritage and old stories.
76
00:05:32,910 --> 00:05:35,944
Also, in the 1200s on
Iceland, someone, we don't know
77
00:05:35,945 --> 00:05:38,730
who wrote the book
which we call the Poetic Edda.
78
00:05:38,731 --> 00:05:44,590
And those are just about 30 of those songs.
about pre-Christian gods and
79
00:05:44,591 --> 00:05:49,870
pre-Christian Norse heroes
which someone wrote down wanting to preserve them,
80
00:05:50,130 --> 00:05:53,550
because it seems that many of
them orally preserved for centuries.
81
00:05:55,330 --> 00:06:00,630
The Eddas have provided historians with detailed
reports of Viking conquests,
82
00:06:00,830 --> 00:06:05,330
the lineage of kings, so
even religious customs.
83
00:06:06,890 --> 00:06:11,970
They also introduced the world to the rich
mythological traditions of the Nordic people,
84
00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:19,830
which include dwarves, giants,
elves and all kinds of fantastic beasts.
85
00:06:21,310 --> 00:06:26,001
But, according to Norse mythology
dominated by gods known as
86
00:06:26,002 --> 00:06:29,510
Æsir, who rule over certain
aspects of existence.
87
00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:34,890
The leader of this pantheon is
one-eyed god named Odin.
88
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:37,210
Odin is composed.
89
00:06:37,211 --> 00:06:41,790
He is the god of war and death,
but also poetry and memories.
90
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:45,070
He also inspires anger.
the battles and fury of creativity.
91
00:06:45,690 --> 00:06:48,330
One of the most fun
of the gods is Loki.
92
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:54,171
Some people think of him as a god.
a fraudster who tries to deceive people.
93
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:58,190
And deception is very important.
component of warfare.
94
00:06:59,630 --> 00:07:02,330
Frey was a Norse
god of fertility.
95
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:07,190
But his sister Freyja,
By the way, she was the god of love.
96
00:07:07,910 --> 00:07:10,770
Thor is one of the main deities
which we see in Norse mythology.
97
00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:13,250
He is the god of thunder, the god of lightning.
98
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:17,770
One of its most elemental symbols
that we see again and again is his hammer.
99
00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:21,830
It appears to be Thor's hammer.
used as a protective symbol.
100
00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:24,463
People often wore it
101
00:07:24,464 --> 00:07:26,931
around the neck on a collar for protection.
102
00:07:27,010 --> 00:07:31,643
While today the Nordic countries
sees the gods as characters from
103
00:07:31,644 --> 00:07:37,170
ancient mythological witnesses,
for the Vikings they were very real.
104
00:07:38,670 --> 00:07:43,770
The Norse gods were not separate
of the world, they were part of the world.
105
00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:48,590
They were not simply praised in
Sunday morning, they were approached in constant
106
00:07:48,591 --> 00:07:52,350
reciprocal relationships
maintained through sacrificial rituals.
107
00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:56,030
You give the gods something.
so that they would give you something.
108
00:07:56,735 --> 00:08:01,410
So, you sacrifice an animal hoping
that the god to whom you sacrifice it will
109
00:08:01,411 --> 00:08:04,670
to receive your gift and say: ah,
He is favored, I want to give him something.
110
00:08:05,390 --> 00:08:11,090
It was important for me, for Viking,
to have contact with the gods because they
111
00:08:11,091 --> 00:08:16,970
they needed that power where they worked
things, went to other places.
112
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:21,370
The Viking sacrificed to Thor and asked for
nice weather for your travels.
113
00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:26,230
You don't sacrifice horses, weapons, and treasure.

114
00:08:26,231 --> 00:08:28,391
Do you believe that they exist?
deities who receive sacrifices.
115
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:32,870
You don't build altars to goddesses.
around the world you travel unless
116
00:08:32,871 --> 00:08:36,150
Do you believe in building?
reciprocity with these goddesses.
117
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:40,970
This is clearly supported by archaeological
finds of sacrificial sites, burial sites,
118
00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:42,070
and so on.
119
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,630
The Scandinavians are undoubtedly
thought the gods were real.
120
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:49,370
They wouldn't necessarily
considered metaphors.
121
00:08:50,010 --> 00:08:55,530
While mainstream scientists suggest
that there is a strong Scandinavian belief in
122
00:08:55,531 --> 00:09:00,430
the existence of their gods was simple
a matter of faith, ancient astronaut theorists
123
00:09:00,431 --> 00:09:05,170
they wonder if these powerful
beings could really exist.
124
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:09,781
And if so, could they?
help the Vikings become
125
00:09:09,782 --> 00:09:13,530
one of the most sophisticated
explorers and warriors in the world?
126
00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:18,518
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examination
127
00:09:18,542 --> 00:09:21,190
description of the incredible
technologies of the Norse gods.
128
00:09:21,450 --> 00:09:23,050
incredible technology.
129
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:30,684
Most of what is known about
Norse mythology comes
130
00:09:30,685 --> 00:09:34,030
from texts from the 13th century.
centuries called Eddas.
131
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:38,870
But they retell history
which begins many centuries earlier.
132
00:09:40,050 --> 00:09:45,050
And according to the Eddas, the first ruler
area, now known as Denmark,
133
00:09:45,330 --> 00:09:48,610
He was the son of the god Odin,
by the name of Skjold.
134
00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:54,550
For ancient astronaut theorists,
This is particularly intriguing,
135
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:59,050
because it matches a number of
other traditions around the world.
136
00:09:59,850 --> 00:10:03,730
This is almost identical to that
which we find in ancient Egypt.
137
00:10:04,090 --> 00:10:09,970
You have this golden age where the gods
walked the earth, where the gods ruled,
138
00:10:10,150 --> 00:10:14,050
and then finally, in Egypt,
Pharaoh becomes a representative
139
00:10:14,051 --> 00:10:16,811
the gods themselves, right?
like Emperor Jimmu
140
00:10:16,861 --> 00:10:21,020
became a representative
Amaterasu in Japan.
141
00:10:21,810 --> 00:10:26,750
According to Huang Di,
the legendary first emperor of China, the Yellow Emperor,
142
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:29,810
who is said to have sailed
to the stars and back to Earth.
143
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:32,606
What is fascinating
is that this idea
144
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:35,611
appears in ancient
cultures around the world.
145
00:10:35,710 --> 00:10:37,876
Another similarity
which Nordic
146
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,950
mythology shares with
other traditions around
147
00:10:40,951 --> 00:10:46,110
planet is the idea that the gods
they come from another world.
148
00:10:46,610 --> 00:10:50,490
In Norse mythology, the universe
is divided into nine worlds.
149
00:10:50,670 --> 00:10:53,458
This is the kingdom of the gods,
kingdom of men, empire
150
00:10:53,459 --> 00:10:56,090
giants, dwarves,
elves, and so on.
151
00:10:56,790 --> 00:11:00,148
Norse Gods
they inhabited the kingdom of Asgard
152
00:11:00,172 --> 00:11:03,311
and came to Earth,
known as Midgard.
153
00:11:03,450 --> 00:11:06,650
Traveling over the rainbow, there is
rainbow bridge called Bifrost.
154
00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:10,472
However, descriptions of the Bifrost do not show
155
00:11:10,473 --> 00:11:14,031
no structure resembling
traditional bridge.
156
00:11:14,890 --> 00:11:17,030
Bifrost means the shining path.
157
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,179
And Edda tells us that
is that a rainbow?
158
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:22,471
to the gods to connect
heavens and Earth.
159
00:11:23,270 --> 00:11:25,350
Bifrost is a burning bridge.
160
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:30,311
The red color that is the top
The layer of length is supposedly fire.
161
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:35,450
I only know stories in which
supernatural beings cross the Bifrost,
162
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:37,870
and some of them can't.
163
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:41,510
The fire somehow burns them, but
It doesn't seem to burn the gods.
164
00:11:43,090 --> 00:11:47,349
Bifrost is also known as
165
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:50,450
a trembling wave, which
suggests that it is constantly moving.
166
00:11:50,990 --> 00:11:56,710
As for theorists of ancient
astronaut, it's possible that they're old
167
00:11:56,711 --> 00:11:59,390
Norse tales
tried to describe
168
00:11:59,391 --> 00:12:03,151
a wormhole that connects
Earth with a distant planet.
169
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:08,110
The wormhole is
a shortcut through space.
170
00:12:09,170 --> 00:12:14,690
And that's actually the structure
predicted by the theory of general relativity.
171
00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:17,310
So, there's science behind it.
172
00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:22,446
The Scandinavians wrote
that they passed through the Bifrost,
173
00:12:22,447 --> 00:12:25,890
those celestial beings descended from heaven.
174
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:32,310
According to the ancient astronauts,
it almost seems like some kind of portal
175
00:12:32,311 --> 00:12:38,610
technology, because it was instantaneous
a journey to the so-called realm of the gods.
176
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:46,030
Is it possible that the Norse gods are actually
were aliens who traveled to
177
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:48,550
The earth through some kind of
space-time portal?
178
00:12:50,210 --> 00:12:54,830
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that further evidence for this
179
00:12:54,831 --> 00:12:59,390
I can find an incredible idea.
by examining elements from Norse tales
180
00:12:59,391 --> 00:13:02,730
which sound like descriptions
high technology.
181
00:13:04,010 --> 00:13:10,291
Norse mythology is full of concepts that
I call it misunderstood technology.
182
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,370
In Norse mythology, we have stories
about Odin, the supreme god, for example,
183
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:19,850
with his eight-legged
the horse Sleipnir.
184
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:27,771
It was a celestial horse that flew
sky, leaving a trail of fire behind.
185
00:13:27,810 --> 00:13:31,750
We all know that horses
they don't have eight legs.
186
00:13:31,751 --> 00:13:38,310
And we also know that horses don't fly.
sky, leaving a trail of fire behind it.
187
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:41,330
So why do we have these stories?
188
00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:48,950
The pantheon of gods were advanced space beings
travelers that our ancestors saw and
189
00:13:48,951 --> 00:13:53,770
thought, wow, they must be
gods, because they just came down from heaven.
190
00:13:54,810 --> 00:13:58,742
Odin, god of the dead
and the god of war,
191
00:13:58,743 --> 00:14:02,031
he often communicated with
people in Norse stories.
192
00:14:02,510 --> 00:14:06,226
It is also recorded that
from his magical throne,
193
00:14:06,227 --> 00:14:10,250
called Hliðskjálf, could
observe all nine realms.
194
00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:16,430
Hliðskjálf is located at the top of this
of a great tree called Yggdrasil.
195
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:22,090
And Odin can look down on the whole
creature and see what happens.
196
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:23,950
He could see everything.
197
00:14:24,450 --> 00:14:26,510
He could also hear everything.
198
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,371
You wonder if this magical guard is
tower advanced alien technology.
199
00:14:33,395 --> 00:14:39,010
Another prominent figure in the Nordic
In mythology, he was Frey, the god of fertility.
200
00:14:39,850 --> 00:14:44,370
Frey possessed the most incredible
ship in all nine kingdoms.
201
00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:47,670
Frey had an interesting device.
202
00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:50,210
It was a ship.
203
00:14:50,770 --> 00:14:54,720
And that ship was so
204
00:14:54,721 --> 00:14:58,471
big enough that you could put all the Nordic
deities into it and all their weapons.
205
00:14:58,590 --> 00:15:01,730
And then you could bend it.
206
00:15:01,731 --> 00:15:04,839
You could have rolled it up,
a bit like origami,
207
00:15:04,863 --> 00:15:07,391
and Frey could have
pocket.
208
00:15:08,210 --> 00:15:13,230
For us, when we hear this kind of
story, automatically calls up images
209
00:15:13,231 --> 00:15:18,410
advanced nanotechnology or maybe science
about materials where they had the ability
210
00:15:18,411 --> 00:15:24,050
creating a lightweight material that
could be rolled up into smaller dimensions
211
00:15:24,051 --> 00:15:27,330
and then unwrap in
much larger dimensions.
212
00:15:28,630 --> 00:15:32,446
Ancient theorists
astronauts suggest that descriptions
213
00:15:32,447 --> 00:15:37,090
weapons that the gods wielded
they also sound like advanced technology.
214
00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:43,435
Odin has the spear of heaven.
which is also an example
215
00:15:43,436 --> 00:15:46,770
what we consider today
modern technology.
216
00:15:47,550 --> 00:15:49,807
If I were to throw this spear,
217
00:15:49,808 --> 00:15:52,751
would automatically guess either
Which target did he throw it at?
218
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:57,910
And when we think about it today
that, it sounds identical to something like,
219
00:15:57,911 --> 00:16:01,884
say, a heat-seeking missile
or some specified precise
220
00:16:01,885 --> 00:16:05,371
the weapons you have
incredible abilities.
221
00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:09,610

It can always be thrown away.

224
00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:23,410

smash anything it hits.
225
00:16:25,310 --> 00:16:27,816
Interestingly, Thor is
could use his hammer
226
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,290
only while he was wearing
a special metal glove.
227
00:16:30,830 --> 00:16:35,310
It is really interesting to note that
are all these ancient stories about the Norse,
228
00:16:35,311 --> 00:16:39,821
these magical objects,
weapons and the like, they are
229
00:16:39,822 --> 00:16:42,751
very similar to things that
we can invite each other today.
230
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:46,690
That sounds wrong to me.

231
00:16:47,170 --> 00:16:49,847
Ancient people are
looked at things, and
232
00:16:49,848 --> 00:16:52,871
they did not have the technology
lens for reference.
233
00:16:53,650 --> 00:16:57,517
Is it possible that the Nordic
the gods were not invented
234
00:16:57,518 --> 00:17:01,270
creatures, but visitors
from another planet?
235
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:08,890
Ancient astronaut theorists say that and
suggest that there may even be evidence that
236
00:17:08,891 --> 00:17:12,630
did these beings have a part
in the Vikings' success.
237
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:18,539
Orkney, Scotland.
238
00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:24,330
Here, in an ancient glacial
valley, stands 5000 years old
239
00:17:24,331 --> 00:17:27,410
megalithic structure
known as Dwarfy Stane.
240
00:17:28,530 --> 00:17:32,508
According to local residents,
The Vikings who attacked this region

00:17:32,509 --> 00:17:36,150
they claimed that the internal
The chamber served as the home of the dwarf.
242
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:40,008
For the Nordic people,
the dwarves were not
243
00:17:40,032 --> 00:17:43,710
fictional creatures, but
real entities that are

kingdom under the earth.
245
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:50,946
According to Eddam, this
are creatures of lesser stature
246
00:17:50,947 --> 00:17:54,290
created by the gods to
they make weapons and technology.
247
00:17:56,130 --> 00:17:59,240
Old Norse term,
dvergr, translated by his
248
00:17:59,264 --> 00:18:02,170
English relative
dwarf, refers to
249
00:18:02,171 --> 00:18:05,603
a type of supernatural
a being much lower than
250
00:18:05,604 --> 00:18:09,691
of the gods he communicates with
with them and with us.
251
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:13,723
Their main function
It's in the sagas that they make
252
00:18:13,724 --> 00:18:17,411
things, whether for gods
or for human beings.
253
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:20,810
Dwarves are interesting
a figure in Norse mythology.
254
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:26,630
They are not gods, but they are not men either, and
they appear as very powerful, very magical.
255
00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:30,910
And so the gods constantly
communicate with dwarves.
256
00:18:30,911 --> 00:18:34,970
And a large part of the power of the Nordics
gods arise from dwarves.
257
00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:40,890
They are the ones who have extraordinary
the ability to create things.
258
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:46,310
Dwarves are described
like the best blacksmiths.
259
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:51,310
When the gods should have
created things, they go to the dwarves.
260
00:18:52,230 --> 00:18:59,191
They were the creators of these most important
elements of the Nordic Viking world.
261
00:19:00,090 --> 00:19:06,250
Things like Freyr's ship and
Odin's spear and Thor's hammer.
262
00:19:09,090 --> 00:19:13,250
Dwarves are also attributed
that they are masters of sword making.
263
00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:17,590
But the swords they forged
they weren't just for the gods.
264
00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:21,628
They were also
made for people, and for them
265
00:19:21,652 --> 00:19:25,090
they were said to possess
extraordinary properties.
266
00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:33,810
Dwarves permeate their creations
with magic and doing things for human beings.
267
00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:38,570
For example, there are human heroes who
they have magic swords of various kinds.
268
00:19:39,010 --> 00:19:44,250
The most important story about heroes is
the story of Sigurd, the dragon slayer.
269
00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:46,430
Sigurd has a magic sword.
270
00:19:48,370 --> 00:19:52,952
According to the story, the dwarf
forges Sigurd's sword so much
271
00:19:52,953 --> 00:19:58,070
sharp enough to cut
impenetrable dragon scales.
272
00:19:59,150 --> 00:20:04,510
Other sagas describe weapons that were
powerful enough to even kill gods.
273
00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:13,270
There is a magic sword Tyrfing,
which can be pulled out and put back in
274
00:20:13,271 --> 00:20:16,690
cover only if in
Meanwhile, draw blood.
275
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:20,410
So you can't put it back in
cover unless you killed someone.
276
00:20:21,570 --> 00:20:26,450
While historians of dwarf stories
considered skilled weapons manufacturers
277
00:20:26,451 --> 00:20:32,650
purely mythological, what is
can't deny that they are Vikings
278
00:20:32,651 --> 00:20:35,234
owned swords
far superior to any
279
00:20:35,246 --> 00:20:37,730
which others were made
in their time.
280
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:51,470
While clearing his field of stones,
The farmer encounters an extraordinary

which determine that it is more than a thousand years old
283
00:21:00,911 --> 00:21:06,570
years and discover that the blade
contains a mysterious inscription.
284
00:21:08,230 --> 00:21:13,750
X-ray imaging reveals
that the sword is inscribed with the name Ulfberht.
285
00:21:14,210 --> 00:21:18,361
Swords Ulfberht made
are between approximately
286
00:21:18,373 --> 00:21:22,190
800 and 1000 AD
new era, so exactly in
287
00:21:22,191 --> 00:21:26,730
the height of the Viking Age
when they traded and attacked.
288
00:21:28,590 --> 00:21:32,635
Recently excavated
the weapon is one of approximately
289
00:21:32,659 --> 00:21:36,150
170 swords that
they bear the mark Ulfberht.
290
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:41,370
But how were these blades created?
continues to puzzle researchers.
291
00:21:43,070 --> 00:21:46,689
I analyzed 40 or
50 swords of Ulfberht,
292
00:21:46,701 --> 00:21:50,490
and many of them still
they always have a sharp edge.
293
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:54,566
Chemistry is completely
different from any other
294
00:21:54,578 --> 00:21:57,450
weapons found in
medieval Europe.
295
00:21:58,030 --> 00:22:04,029
These swords of Ulfberht were made
made of very hard steel and would be considerably
296
00:22:04,054 --> 00:22:06,927
superior to any
other weapons in combat.
297
00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:09,925
The Ulfberhts were
298
00:22:09,926 --> 00:22:12,670
special because of production
the techniques that are invested in them.
299
00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:18,370
Some of them are made of pottery
steel, which could also have flexible
300
00:22:18,371 --> 00:22:21,470
properties and hardness
blades in one item.
301
00:22:22,850 --> 00:22:29,050
Perhaps most confusingly, to create
Ulfberht's swords, Nordic blacksmiths
302
00:22:29,051 --> 00:22:33,170
would have to heat up their forges
at over 1648 degrees Celsius.
303
00:22:34,990 --> 00:22:40,510
But historians and archaeologists suggest
that people have not developed the ability
304
00:22:40,511 --> 00:22:43,970
achieving such extreme
heat until the industrial revolution.
305
00:22:43,971 --> 00:22:47,910
Almost 800 years
after the Viking Age.
306
00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:53,010
So who could have?
create this extraordinary weapon?
307
00:22:53,530 --> 00:22:56,748
Is it possible that
Norse tales of dwarves
308
00:22:56,749 --> 00:23:00,270
who forge incredible swords
weren't they just mythology?
309
00:23:01,610 --> 00:23:08,090
When you think about this, you have to
at least be open to the possibility that they
310
00:23:08,091 --> 00:23:11,220
Nordic swords
Vikings were created from
311
00:23:11,221 --> 00:23:13,950
by these dwarves who are
were masters at this feat.
312
00:23:13,951 --> 00:23:15,505
They had advanced technology.
313
00:23:15,530 --> 00:23:19,710
When you talk to people who live
in Norway and Sweden and Iceland,
314
00:23:20,425 --> 00:23:24,971
over 60% of people in the survey
claims to believe in these beings.
315
00:23:25,390 --> 00:23:28,750
With Ulfberht's blades, still
we don't always know who made them.
316
00:23:29,045 --> 00:23:32,890
We don't know the exact technique.
how they are made.
317
00:23:34,015 --> 00:23:36,890
Some were incredible.
advanced in their techniques.

Quite beautiful. Difficult to produce.

319
00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:45,030
We don't know why.
the word Ulfberht used.
320
00:23:46,165 --> 00:23:50,650
It was assumed without any evidence
that it was the name of the swordsmith, but maybe
321
00:23:50,651 --> 00:23:55,490
was it simply someone's name
whom the blacksmith met or killed.
322
00:23:56,050 --> 00:23:58,590
Maybe they thought
that it is something sacred.
323
00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:59,870
We don't know.
324
00:24:00,590 --> 00:24:02,370
What does Ulfberht mean?
325
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:04,690

It's probably that.

327
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:09,990
Ulf means wolf.
328
00:24:10,570 --> 00:24:13,490
And berht is an adjective.

329
00:24:13,810 --> 00:24:15,570
So, could

And that adds up.
the mystery of these blades.

Is it possible that dwarves are from
Were the creatures of Norse mythology real?
335
00:24:40,570 --> 00:24:45,290
And that they helped the Vikings to
forge their incredible swords?
336
00:24:46,470 --> 00:24:51,730
Perhaps further clues can be found.

it is said that they
Vikings received from dwarves.

Summer 1904.

00:25:15,900 --> 00:25:21,040
During a period of three months,
Scandinavian archaeologists, Gabriel

Gustafson and Haakon Shetelig, iskapaju
an exceptionally well-preserved Viking ship.
343
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:35,836
Built of oak in the early 9th century AD
era, the ship is an extraordinary feat of engineering.
344
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:40,325
One of the things they
The Vikings had a ship.
345
00:25:40,326 --> 00:25:44,221

They could go.
up and down the rivers.
347
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,140
They could go across the ocean without capsizing.
how many previous ships capsized.
348
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,918
And that meant they had
ability to enter areas
349
00:25:56,942 --> 00:26:00,780
in which other people in it
they couldn't get in at the time.
350
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,219
Viking shipping
it was truly unparalleled
351
00:26:04,231 --> 00:26:06,600
by any other
groups at this time
352
00:26:06,601 --> 00:26:09,160
in terms of building their boats.
353
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,240
And those boats are

354
00:26:11,241 --> 00:26:15,480
The way they are made to
they bend with the waves instead of falling apart.
355
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,899
Therefore they were often called
sea snakes because they

00:26:17,923 --> 00:26:20,141
could somehow
to slide like a snake through the waves.
357
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,095
Unique Viking design
long ships made possible
358
00:26:24,096 --> 00:26:27,820
sailing at speeds that
approaching 45 kilometers per hour.
359
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,640
No other vessel could
travel so fast until 1852.
360
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:39,461
More than a thousand years after the first
Viking ships went out to the open sea.
361
00:26:40,060 --> 00:26:45,280
But what many researchers consider
even more impressive and harder to explain
362
00:26:45,940 --> 00:26:49,020
they are incredible
Viking navigation skills.
363
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,480
When we talk about Vikings,
you are facing a mystery.
364
00:26:56,010 --> 00:26:59,060
And the mystery is how they
Did the Vikings navigate?
365
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:02,460
As far as we know, they didn't have a compass.
366
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:04,620
The compass is a Chinese invention.
367
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,300
And without a compass, how
were they able to navigate?
368
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,760
Well, you say, stars.
369
00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:15,901
But if you've ever been there, in the north
Atlantic, you realize how cloudy it is.
370
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,440
On a cloudy day, there is no
no sun, no stars.
371
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:26,500
And yet, they successfully navigated
The North Sea with great accuracy.
372
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:31,340
And the question is,
How did they do it?
373
00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:36,699
Ancient astronaut theorists
they believe that traces can be
374
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:39,940
find a closer look
to the Viking sagas.
375
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,547
According to legend, dwarves
they gave people a special
376
00:27:45,548 --> 00:27:49,060
the stone that allowed them
navigation with high accuracy.
377
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:56,700
In the Norse sagas, we get a mention of
something called sólarsteinn, sun stone.
378
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,055
And that's a kind of transparent
mineral which is
379
00:28:01,056 --> 00:28:05,480
oblong in shape and has
special magical powers.
380
00:28:06,860 --> 00:28:13,680
And that's something a Viking captain would
of a warship raised towards the cloudy sky
381
00:28:13,681 --> 00:28:17,600
to the sky and through it
could see where the sun was.
382
00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:20,160
And that was important.
for navigation.
383
00:28:21,620 --> 00:28:24,000
These crystals are considered
are magical.
384
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,500
And for a long time it was rumored that the sun
stone may have been the main part of their
385
00:28:28,501 --> 00:28:29,989
navigation skills,
386
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:32,881
giving them an advantage that others
people at that time did not have.
387
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,460
Is the Viking sunstone simply
was a creation of Norse mythology?
388
00:28:38,780 --> 00:28:41,440
Or maybe he really existed?
389
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:54,180
Underwater archaeologists are investigating
an English warship from the 16th century when
390
00:28:54,181 --> 00:28:58,460
they come across an unusual crystal carved
into an almost perfect rectangle.
391
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,963
Researchers are shocked
392
00:29:02,964 --> 00:29:06,920
when tests reveal that the subject is
carved from a piece of Icelandic calcite.
393
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,420
And they suspect they've found one of
legendary Viking sunstones.
394
00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:19,280
Calcite has the property that if light
enters it, splits the light in half.
395
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,920
On a cloudy day, if you look through
calcite crystal, you see more than one picture,
396
00:29:25,150 --> 00:29:28,600
already two pictures. Each
polarized a little differently.
397
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,009
And as you scan the sky,
the intensity of these two
398
00:29:33,033 --> 00:29:37,041
changes depending on that
where the sun is located.
399
00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:41,280
But when you align with the sun,
the two images are equally bright.
400
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:45,040
Bingo. There it is.
where the sun is located.
401
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,880
And that's how the Vikings were able to do it
to do without a compass.
402
00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:51,199
They simply
directed everything towards the sun
403
00:29:51,211 --> 00:29:53,680
until the two pictures are
matched in intensity.
404
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,900
For archaeologists, almost as exciting as
the discovery of the Viking sunstone was
405
00:30:00,901 --> 00:30:04,580
the fact that it was found
on a 16th century ship.
406
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,700
What this shows us is that
500 years after the disappearance of the Vikings,
407
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,260
their technology
was still used.
408
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,300
This was still
cutting-edge technology.
409
00:30:19,060 --> 00:30:24,260
Can sunstone provide physical
evidence that witnesses of Norse mythology
410
00:30:24,261 --> 00:30:29,060
are not entirely fiction, but that they could
be based on real events?
411
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,260
And if so, are they supernatural beings,
like the dwarves and gods described in
412
00:30:36,261 --> 00:30:41,400
Viking sagas, shared knowledge
with the ancient people of Scandinavia?
413
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,220
For theorists of ancient
astronaut, the answer is a resounding yes.
414
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,611
Throughout the Nordic
mythology, they really have
415
00:30:52,612 --> 00:30:55,720
abundance of these magical objects.
416
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000
But if the Nordic people had the ability
using a crystal which is a kind of
417
00:31:01,001 --> 00:31:05,820
astronomical lighthouse that they actually know
Where there is sun, there is some advanced science.
418
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,129
And maybe someone
taught the Nordic people
419
00:31:09,130 --> 00:31:11,761
understanding the principles
using such technology.
420
00:31:13,340 --> 00:31:19,660
From the technological marvel known as
sunstone to highly advanced Viking
421
00:31:19,661 --> 00:31:26,000
swords and mythology that sounds like
modern science fiction, theorists
422
00:31:26,001 --> 00:31:29,508
ancient astronauts
suggest that there is
423
00:31:29,509 --> 00:31:32,940
abundant evidence that the Nordic people
had encounters with supernatural beings.
424
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:40,040
But perhaps the most intriguing evidence of
all can be found by careful examination
425
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:43,160
Viking rituals
funeral ceremonies.
426
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:52,220
Dinah Beach, Australia,
July 12, 2025
427
00:31:53,620 --> 00:31:57,371
In a modern yacht club
more than 11,000 kilometers
428
00:31:57,383 --> 00:32:00,440
from Scandinavia,
a ceremony is being held
429
00:32:00,441 --> 00:32:03,835
reconstruction of one of
the most important and iconic
430
00:32:03,847 --> 00:32:07,000
Nordic rituals, Viking
funeral ceremonies.
431
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,263
In Viking days, the body
432
00:32:11,264 --> 00:32:14,561
the deceased would be discharged
to the sea on a boat.
433
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Then she would fire.
a burning arrow to set him on fire.
434
00:32:19,340 --> 00:32:22,760
There is a whole
the symbolism behind these rituals.
435
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:29,620
And that's interesting because the whole idea
burning the dead is to smoke
436
00:32:29,621 --> 00:32:34,720
rises so that their essence
could reach the realm of the gods.
437
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,580
That's the legend behind it.
438
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,100
But you have to ask yourself,
What is the source of that?
439
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,240
What was the realm of the gods?
440
00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:47,980
Was it just spiritual?
a place, something ethereal?
441
00:32:48,780 --> 00:32:52,162
Ancient theory
astronaut suggests, wait
442
00:32:52,163 --> 00:32:56,780
a little, maybe they actually are
meant a physical place.
443
00:32:58,260 --> 00:33:01,090
Viking funeral
the ceremony was symbolic
444
00:33:01,102 --> 00:33:03,460
for a trip to
Asgard, the realm of the gods.
445
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,047
But according to the old
Norse tales, really
446
00:33:07,059 --> 00:33:09,640
the trip took place
on the battlefield.
447
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,662
And they took him out.
448
00:33:13,663 --> 00:33:16,921
Valkire, why are you an officer?
mortal women with divine powers.
449
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,000
In Norse mythology,
450
00:33:22,001 --> 00:33:26,601
you have Valkyries, who are warriors
princesses riding winged horses.
451
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:33,480
And they fly over battlefields and
they pick up the bravest of warriors,
452
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,040
especially when they are on
tired or if they died.
453
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,932
And carry their spirits
454
00:33:41,933 --> 00:33:45,320
to Valhalla, which is the palace for
burnt warriors and banquet halls.
455
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:53,160
The Vikings were not afraid of death because
when they died, they would go to Valhalla.
456
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,420
And there Odin would prepare for them
a feast every night.
457
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,640
We could eat and drink.
as much as they want.
458
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:08,340
In Norse tales, Valhalla is depicted
like the great hall in Asgard, where Odin,
459
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:11,400
ruler of the gods,
welcomes fallen warriors.
460
00:34:12,660 --> 00:34:16,861
The hall is described as
461
00:34:16,862 --> 00:34:18,858
physical place made
made of shiny metal,
462
00:34:18,870 --> 00:34:20,660
supported by spears and
covered with shields.
463
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:27,040
And as for the theorists of the ancients
astronaut, it is possible that Valhalla
464
00:34:27,041 --> 00:34:31,980
It wasn't some mythical paradise,
but something much deeper.
465
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:42,920
According to the theory of ancient astronauts,
Valhalla could be another name for maybe
466
00:34:42,921 --> 00:34:45,080
orbital space
station or something like that.
467
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,520
The reason I'm saying this is
because whenever we have a description
468
00:34:50,521 --> 00:34:56,499
Valhalla, that's incredible.
469
00:34:56,500 --> 00:35:00,180
a description of a place that has the attributes that I
I call it misunderstood technology.
470
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:07,060
Various descriptions of Valhalla give it a reference
that it is some kind of large metal ship.
471
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,880
Add to the fact that Valhalla is described
as the place they actually traveled to
472
00:35:11,881 --> 00:35:17,080
maybe this is some kind of description
their journey to this in the ship.
473
00:35:17,620 --> 00:35:22,660
And since they put their dead in
ships and set them on fire, maybe that's actually
474
00:35:22,661 --> 00:35:27,060
a reference to their journey to Valhalla
in a ship that has flames coming out,
475
00:35:27,820 --> 00:35:29,140
going into space.
476
00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:36,420
Is it possible that the old Norse
stories about Valhalla described some kind of
477
00:35:36,421 --> 00:35:39,420
spacecraft or space stations
that orbited the Earth?
478
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:46,920
And is it a Viking funeral ceremony?
was designed to mimic fire and smoke
479
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:51,100
produced by a rocket ship
who launched into space?
480
00:35:53,655 --> 00:35:56,956
Interestingly, the Nordics are not
were the only ancient culture
481
00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:00,280
which included ships
in their funeral customs.
482
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,398
In Norse mythology,
483
00:36:04,399 --> 00:36:08,240
you have this concept of taking
some kind of transportation to another world.
484
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:15,740
This is something that has existed for thousands of years.
years and appears all over the world.
485
00:36:16,340 --> 00:36:17,440
It's in Africa.
486
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,460
It's in South America.
487
00:36:21,740 --> 00:36:22,840
U Kini je.
488
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,299
With Egyptian
funeral customs,
489
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:30,180
would often be connected
funeral boat.
490
00:36:30,660 --> 00:36:34,200
And these boats themselves would be
space analogies
491
00:36:34,224 --> 00:36:38,598
ships, in fact, which
would take them across the sky.
492
00:36:39,020 --> 00:36:45,400
The fact that all over the world you find
same references in ancient myths
493
00:36:45,401 --> 00:36:51,660
and legends are no coincidence to me,
but on the contrary, it conveys that it is right
494
00:36:51,661 --> 00:36:57,560
the origin was a world visit
alien visitors.
495
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:03,629
Is it possible that modern reconstructions
Viking funeral ceremonies
496
00:37:03,630 --> 00:37:08,080
unconsciously mark the supernatural
contacts in the distant past?
497
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:14,960
As for theorists of ancient
astronaut, the answer is a resounding yes.
498
00:37:15,980 --> 00:37:19,560
And they suggest that there are
evidence that Scandinavia
499
00:37:19,561 --> 00:37:24,740
maybe experiencing an alien
activity even today.
500
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,380
Northern Norway,
December 9, 2009
501
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:37,264
Just before dawn,
incredible spiral
502
00:37:37,276 --> 00:37:40,100
light appears
in the night sky.
503
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:48,701
It circles in place for 10 minutes and is seen
is hundreds of miles away in Sweden.
504
00:37:48,980 --> 00:37:53,880
Norwegian Spiral Anomaly
has captured the imagination of the world.
505
00:37:54,400 --> 00:38:00,420
Theories included that it had
connection with the polar lights, that it is
506
00:38:00,421 --> 00:38:04,620
was a malfunction
Russian ballistic missiles.
507
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,620
Other people had
more exotic theories.
508
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,601
She looked simple.
Amazing. It really is.
509
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,940
So, of course, there was a lot
questions, wonders, like, what is that?
510
00:38:16,941 --> 00:38:19,300
Is this thing related?
with a UFO or not?
511
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,480
Some people said, this
is the opening of a wormhole.
512
00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:25,660
Something passed through her.
513
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,820
Norwegian Spiral Anomaly
she was in headlines around the world.
514
00:38:32,540 --> 00:38:36,954
And it was only the last one in
515
00:38:36,955 --> 00:38:38,951
a series of extraordinary
mass UFO sightings that
516
00:38:38,963 --> 00:38:40,840
have occurred over
the area of Scandinavia.
517
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,100
Since the 1930s, the inhabitants of the small
mountain forest village Hessdalen,
518
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,911
in Norway, they report
about strange lights
519
00:38:49,923 --> 00:38:52,440
of different colors that
appear at night,
520
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:55,940
and sometimes, even during the day.
521
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:02,220
People see bright lights
how they move very close to houses.
522
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,000
Balls of light, even
sometimes of a certain shape.
523
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:12,960
And these lights can last
minutes or even hours.
524
00:39:13,780 --> 00:39:16,640
The reports are
continued for decades.
525
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,681
And 1983, Norwegian engineer
electrical engineering Erling Strand
526
00:39:22,682 --> 00:39:26,500
initiated a research
a project to research the phenomenon.
527
00:39:27,580 --> 00:39:31,020
In the early 80s,
there were many sightings.
528
00:39:32,260 --> 00:39:36,720
We had 20 observations.
in one week.
529
00:39:37,420 --> 00:39:43,760
Hessdalen lights can be
more traditional UFO sightings where
530
00:39:43,761 --> 00:39:49,800
describe the shapes of disks, objects,
cigar shapes, objects, and so on.
531
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,240
It is very easy to think that
this comes from other worlds.
532
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:02,500
Besides the Hessdalen lights,
1946, thousands of people in Sweden,
533
00:40:02,915 --> 00:40:07,900
Norway and Denmark witnessed what
what were called Ghost Rockets,
534
00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:11,260
which are some of the earliest
recorded UFO sightings.
535
00:40:12,540 --> 00:40:16,441
Many people have seen
bright lights in the sky,
536
00:40:16,453 --> 00:40:19,940
which many people today
referred to as UFOs.
537
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:24,080
More than 2000
reported in Scandinavia.
538
00:40:24,980 --> 00:40:31,080
For ancient astronaut theorists, these
sensational UFO events pose
539
00:40:31,081 --> 00:40:35,141
the question is, is it possible that
extraterrestrial entities seen
540
00:40:35,142 --> 00:40:38,600
by the Vikings still
present in this region today?
541
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:44,100
Scandinavia is undoubtedly
UFO focal point.
542
00:40:44,101 --> 00:40:48,280
And we have interesting
reports from Nordic folklore.
543
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,440
And, of course, there are many, many
people who say mythology is just
544
00:40:53,441 --> 00:40:56,959
the way ours are
ancestors described real
545
00:40:56,971 --> 00:41:00,040
things that are important to them
happened, but only
546
00:41:00,041 --> 00:41:03,297
they turned them into these
sagas as a way of maintaining
547
00:41:03,321 --> 00:41:06,160
stories alive and
retellings for generations.
548
00:41:07,060 --> 00:41:12,700
You have to wonder if Norway has a spiral
anomaly of the connection with these Norse gods.
549
00:41:14,220 --> 00:41:18,980
And they come and go from this
places for thousands of years.
550
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:25,700
And it could be that these are Nordic
gods as aliens still here.
551
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,323
Is it possible that they
extraterrestrial visitors
552
00:41:31,335 --> 00:41:34,000
which is the Nordic people
met for centuries
553
00:41:34,001 --> 00:41:39,700
before behind many strange visions
reported over Scandinavia today?
554
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:44,868
And do the ancient stories reflect
555
00:41:44,869 --> 00:41:48,300
about these gods still because they
part of the true history of humanity?
556
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:55,600
Maybe one day soon characters like
Thor and Odin, long repressed in the realm
557
00:41:55,601 --> 00:42:02,900
mythology, re-present
to humanity as our alien ancestors.53585
