The Æsir, Vanir & Jötnar | Bronze Age Blending, War and Trade | Norse Mythology Pt. 1

Jan-Ove Tuv sits down with Sturla Ellingvåg to dive deep into norse mythology. Ellingvåg is the historian behind the Viking Stories channel on YouTube . He is associated with the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and is convinced that history has to be studied in a broader context than current fashion allows. We have previously released an interview with Ellingvåg on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFeje-6fYmw 👍✨ Support our show and get access to more than 200 exclusive posts: https://patreon.com/caveofapelles/ Chapter markers: 00:00 Can we trust Snorre's "Edda"? 08:04 The Yamnaya warriors from the Armenian highlands 10:23 Crisis and mixing 12:26 Bronze Age blending: the Jötnar, Æsir & Vanir 15:57 Mobility, boat types and trade 23:00 “Euhemerism“ and “Hieros gamos“ 25:38 Different priorities for agriculturalists and warriors 30:50 What always happens after catastrophes 34:43 DNA studies from the east 38:18 Trading hostages - an Indo-European way of ruling 40:37 Horse & carriage 42:55 The marriage between Njord and Skade: culturally too different? 45:03 The strange heritage of Norse individualism and conformity This episode featured Sturla Ellingvåg & Jan-Ove Tuv and was filmed and edited by Bork Nerdrum.
