Sturla Ellingvåg on Vikings, Norse Myths, Genetic Memory & Connecting the Longer Lines in History
Sturla Ellingvåg is the historian behind the YouTube-channel Viking Stories:
https://www.youtube.com/@VikingStories
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.
He traces Viking culture back to the Bronze Age and sees Viking raids as a pre-emptive defense against the onslaught of the "sword Christendom" of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne. Ellingvåg takes us through Norse mythology, its connection to Greek mythology and society and how it may reflect reality in unexpected ways.
Where the gods actually historical human beings and did the vikings become more resilient through these stories?
Joins us as we delve into the Norse sense of life and discuss the power of their stories.
