[Archive] Lectures on Viking Age Scandinavia

Admiral:

Could be fun to listen to while painting & modelling. Please share your own finds! There’s a larger documentary/lecture/audiobook link list which I’ll update in due time with a slew of more videos incl. space race ones, but in the meanwhile, here’s something on a narrower topic:

History of Scandinavia, lectures by Kenneth Harl at Tulane University (Youtube channel receives new videos daily and is worth following):

Ancient Times

Gods, Kings and Heroes I

Viking Invasions

Ireland


Professor Neil Price’s lectures, which attempts to get into the mindset of Scandinavians during this time:

The Children of Ash - Cosmology and the Viking Universe

Life and Afterlife - Dealing with the Dead in the Viking Age

The Shape of the Soul - The Viking Mind and the Individual

Partially relevant since it goes into Rus:

Medieval Times - The Steppe Kingdoms, by Kenneth Harl.

Bloodbeard:

This is excellent! I was just about to ask you for a list like this, on this theme!

Helblindi:

Great, I’ll have something to listen to when painting/drawing

Admiral:

I’ll update the first post continuously as more lectures by Kenneth Harl are rolled out.

Also, on another note, Joseph Hogarty’s 4 part-series on Europe forming during late antiquity/early middle ages is likewise recommended:

Europe From Its Origins

Constantine the Great

Age of Constantinople

Emperor Justinian

The Roman

Admiral:

And one more: Viking Invasions
