Vikingting
Tingvatn is one of the most fascinating areas for historic monuments in Vest-Agder. It is also one of the most valuable. The stone circles in particular have given rise to many legends. Tingvatn has evidence of ritual activity and judicial use for 2000 years. This film is from the annual Vikingting which takes place late in may. It describes various crafts, slave trade, fighting and the judicial practice during the Viking Age.
'The Story of Scandinavia' with Stein Ringen
(Live video footage from the event begins at 3:20).
From Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show in London’s Olympia, The Stanfords Travel Writers Festival welcomes Norwegian sociologist and political scientist Stein Ringen. He talks to Ann Morgan about his book ‘The Story of Scandinavia.’
In ‘The Story of Scandinavia’, Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture.
Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.
The brand we now know as Scandinavia is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity.
What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
This talk took place on 1st February 2024 at 1pm.

Full movie - Skärgård - The Viking Route #2
Adventure meets history - The journey continues!
In „Skärgård“ I continue to follow an old route through Scandinavia’s gorgeous nature alone on his sailboat. Part#2 of the docutainment trilogy The Viking Route is leading deep into the spectacular world of the Stockholm archipelago during summer, makes a stopover in the old Viking settlement of Birka in the lake Mälaren and ends on the Åland-Islands. The movie shows, beside the travel itself, the emotions of a long time-out and spotlights – as already in part #1 – the ingenious navigational methods and the epic mythology of the Vikings.
In the Danish National Archives, the description of this old sea route is kept like a treasure. By coincidence I got aware of this itinerary and curiosity kicked in. This document, written by monks in Latin script, is one of the oldest and exiting sources about navigating the Baltic sea. It mentions many places which together forming - mostly sheltered by skerries - a sea route along the east coast of Sweden, over the Åland-islands and Southern-Finland to Reval (todays Tallinn). This sailing route, already used by Vikings, the 40-year-old sailboat LA MER auctioned at eBay and a kayak are the ingredients this Baltic sea adventure through the dreamlike archipelagos of Scandinavia.

History of the Vikings - Story for Falling Asleep
In this soft-spoken ASMR bedtime story, I tell you about the History of the Norsemen in the Middle Ages. At the end of the Eighth Century, they embarked on raids, explorations, and conquests farther and farther from their homelands in Scandinavia. This took them as far east as the Volga River in Russia and Byzantium, and as far west as America, even though they did not stay there for long. They founded colonies such as Iceland or Vineland in Newfoundland, Canada, created new states such as the Kievan Rus', and settled in regions like Yorkshire or Normandy. We explore the reasons why they suddenly became outward-looking, what their societies were like, and how things unfolded until Christianization and the formation of larger kingdoms in Scandinavia (in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark), that put an end to the Viking Age.

Atorkor Slave Market, Volta Region - Ghana
This was one of the largest slave markets in its time. Serving slave traders from Capecoast all the way to the North of Ghana and even internationally. It is not uncommon to find slaves from neighboring Nigeria, Togo and Benin on transit here.
The name comes from the Akan phrase Tor Kor which means Buy and Leave
There were trust issues back in the day, so the Akans had one policy; if you buy your slaves, don't waste anymore time there just leave. Over time the name evolved to Atorkor
Today, there's only a round enclosure of about 12 feet radius with broken statues at the center of the enclosure. The whole place has been converted to a vocational school with dormitories all around it

Viking Footprints - Trade or Raid?
We all know the stereotypical image of the Vikings - the one of raiding and plundering. But this is only part of the story. In this second Viking Footprints film, the focus is on a fundamental part of activity during the Viking Age - trade. In Hyllestad, west Norway, the almost industrial scale of the production of millstones and their export across Europe helps explain why trade was just as important to the Viking economy as raiding was.
This episode is filmed in Kvernsteinsparken, open air museum in Hyllestad. For more information go to
The Dark Truth Behind the White Slave Trade They Don’t Teach You!
Today, we’re diving into a lesser-known and often misunderstood chapter of history: the White Slave Trade. While most people associate slavery with the transatlantic slave trade and the enslavement of Africans, there’s another untold story—the enslavement of Europeans. In this video, we’ll uncover the complex and controversial history of the White Slave Trade, focusing on key events, from the Barbary pirates' raids to forced labor in colonial times. Stick around to learn the hidden truths behind this dark period, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more historical deep dives!
What Was the White Slave Trade?
The White Slave Trade refers to the historical enslavement of Europeans, particularly during the 16th to 18th centuries. While the transatlantic slave trade targeted Africans, the White Slave Trade mostly involved European Christians captured by Barbary pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire. Over the centuries, hundreds of thousands, possibly up to a million Europeans, were enslaved through this practice. However, white slavery wasn’t limited to the Barbary pirates. It also included the capture and enslavement of Slavic peoples by neighboring empires, Viking raids, and even the forced labor of Europeans in colonial America and Australia.
The Barbary Pirates and European Slaves
For centuries, the Barbary Coast of North Africa was home to ruthless pirates who raided European coastal towns, capturing men, women, and children to be sold into slavery. Victims were taken from regions like Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, and even Iceland, and sold into hard labor or sexual exploitation. Many were forced to work in mines, row pirate galleys, or serve as household slaves in wealthy North African homes. Some, however, managed to escape or were ransomed by religious groups like the Trinitarians and Mercedarians, who raised money to free Christian slaves. The terror of the Barbary pirates remains a dark chapter of history, often overlooked.
The Slavic People and the Origin of Slave
Interestingly, the word slave is derived from Slav, a reference to the widespread enslavement of Slavic peoples during the medieval period. Slavs from Eastern Europe were captured and sold into slavery by the Byzantine Empire, Muslim Caliphates, and other neighboring powers. This practice became so common that the term Slav became synonymous with slave. These slaves were used in agriculture, domestic service, and military roles, such as the Mamluks, who were enslaved soldiers that eventually rose to power in Egypt.
Viking Raids and the Slave Trade
The Vikings, infamous for their raids across Europe, also participated in the European slave trade. From the 8th to the 11th century, they captured people from the British Isles, Ireland, France, and beyond, selling them in slave markets across Scandinavia and the Byzantine Empire. These captives, known as thralls, were forced into grueling labor or sold as far as the Middle East.

History of France
Questions about historical facts often come up in my conversations with people interested in discovering France.
This section is my attempt at giving you an overview of the history of France, in a structured timeline, providing points of references, and explaining some specifics events I think are important.
Also, as I am sure you’ve all heard of some French landmarks, or even visited them – but without necessarily being clear about when exactly they were built, in what context, and what they meant – I’ll tell you about them.
So here, I’ll put things in perspective a bit, I’ll describe the history of France around a 7-period timeline, and I’ll go on to explain some landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower (which you know) and the Lascaux cave (which maybe you’ve never heard of).

The Vikings: You Won't Believe the Truth Behind Their Mysterious Decline!
In today’s video, we delve into the fascinating world of the Vikings. Known for their fierce raids, longships, and epic battles, these Norse warriors dominated the North Atlantic for nearly 300 years. But who were the Vikings, really, and what led to the end of their legendary era? From their origins in the harsh landscapes of Scandinavia to their far-reaching influence across Europe, the Vikings were more than just raiders. They were also explorers, traders, and settlers, venturing as far as North America and establishing trade routes from the Middle East to the North Atlantic.
The Viking Age, which began in the late 8th century, saw these seafaring Norsemen make their mark across Ireland, Scotland, France, and even as far as Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland in Canada. Their incredible maritime skills allowed them to navigate vast distances and take advantage of the political instability across Europe. Yet, their success wasn’t just due to their prowess in battle—they were also master traders, exchanging goods like silk, spices, and silver for furs, timber, and slaves.
However, by the 11th century, the Viking Age began to decline. One of the key factors was the spread of Christianity. As Viking leaders converted to Christianity, partly for political and economic gain, traditional Norse beliefs and practices began to fade. Christian values conflicted with the Viking way of life, curbing their raiding activities and transforming them into settled rulers who sought to build Christian kingdoms.
The rise of stronger, centralized kingdoms in Europe also played a major role in the Viking downfall. Monarchs like Alfred the Great of England and the French kings fortified their lands and created organized armies, making it increasingly difficult for the Vikings to continue their raids. Diplomacy also contributed to their decline, such as the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911 AD, where Viking leader Rollo accepted land in exchange for loyalty, founding Normandy and becoming part of the European political landscape.
Join us as we explore the multifaceted history of the Vikings and uncover the complex social, cultural, and environmental factors that led to the end of their era. While their time as dominant seafarers came to an end, their legacy endures in the place names, languages, and cultures they influenced. The Vikings were not just warriors, but also a resilient and adaptable people whose impact still resonates today.

History of countries
United States: The United States has a complex history, beginning with the arrival of Native American peoples thousands of years ago. European exploration and colonization followed, leading to the establishment of thirteen colonies under British rule. The American Revolution in 1776 resulted in independence, followed by rapid expansion westward, industrialization, and significant social and political changes. The 20th century saw the U.S. emerge as a global superpower, heavily influencing global politics, economics, and culture.
China: China boasts one of the world's oldest civilizations, with a history stretching back over 5,000 years. It has seen numerous dynastic cycles, periods of cultural flourishing, and advancements in technology and governance. The 20th century saw the end of imperial rule, civil war, and the rise of the People's Republic of China under Communist leadership. Since then, China has undergone rapid economic growth and become a major player in global affairs.
United Kingdom: The United Kingdom's history includes the Roman occupation, the Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions, and the Norman Conquest of 1066. It went on to establish a vast empire, becoming a dominant global power in the 19th century.

India: India's history dates back to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization around 2500 BCE. It has seen the rise and fall of numerous empires, including the Maurya, Gupta, and Mughal empires. British colonization began in the 17th century, leading to India's struggle for independence and partition in 1947 into India and Pakistan. Since independence, India has experienced rapid economic growth, becoming a major regional and global power.
Brazil: Brazil was initially inhabited by indigenous peoples before Portuguese colonization in the 16th century. It became a major hub for the Atlantic slave trade and gained independence from Portugal in 1822. Brazil experienced periods of political instability, including military rule in the 20th century, before transitioning to democracy in the 1980s. It is now the largest country in South America, known for its cultural diversity, natural beauty, and economic potential.
