I fell Asleep and when I woke this was playing, but I had an amazing dream with this guy's voice being my friends voice teaching me... It was VERY odd... But I loved it. Dreams are strange indeed. I'll be at the channel more often at night. 💤

A priest once asked the pope how to get more Pagans to join their religion. The pope answered, "Burn down their groves, destroy their temples then build churches on top of them."... Oh, what horrors Christianity has wrought on this world.

Reading the grave like a story is brilliant! These stories were very important to these people. We need to pay attention.

As a Viking reenactor these lectures are invaluable. Thank you.

All three lectures were well balanced, developed and presented; thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Thank you Cornell University and Dr. Price for allowing access to these lectures.

The idea of glittering metals on the actors of plays in the Great Halls stopped me. Now I want to recreate them. I can imagine bits of copper, tin, bronze, silver, and gold made into masks and costumes. Done in firelight will be fantastic. Thank you.

Thank You for the lecture being made available to the broadest public.

Exquisite presentation throughout these three lectures. I feel like I have traveled back in time. Many thanks to Professor Neil Price for his work and to Cornell University for sharing.

First off the cadence of this man is insanely beautiful. Second what he has to say is the truth. He has done his looking. Third he understands us.

Regarding collecting blood from sacrifice animals. - It is still common to eat sausages or blood pancakes or such meals - so the blood was most probably not sprinkled anywhere but used for cooking various dishes.

Three informative lectures presented by a very nice person. Thank You from 🇳🇴

Thank you for making knowledge accessible.

Utmärkt och givande föreläsning. Blott en liten detalj, vid 41:11 => Frösö ligger inte i Härjedalen utan i Jämtland. =D

Thank you for the free classes.

When he says that “nothing is random” in the theatrically conducted part, and one considers the amount of violence and death and gore, I wonder if Randall Carlson (and all the other guys promoting catastrophism and forgotten civilizations/ pre-history) is right. I came across a talk of Randall talking about the war of the Norse Gods with the Frost Giants (and a particular part of that story where two Frost Giants escaped for a while), where he interpreted this as a sort of climate history: the end of the last ice age and the two dips back into it at the Younger Dryas boundary. (btw: any chance that Odin’s one eye is the Great Red Spot / storm on the face of Jupiter? Is Odin identified with Jupiter? When I imagine Thor’s Hammer flying in an ellipse, I imagine an asteroid going in an ellipse (maybe even “thrown” by Jupiter or seemingly coming from his direction): thrown in the battle to end the Frost Giants (the ice age). In this 3 lectures I was wondering about the layers of the grave mounds: creating layers of earth above layers with the blood and bones of large animals (multiple horses and dogs) that get literally ripped to pieces, with their body-parts displaced: that’s like the layer from the extinction of the megafauna / the layer with all the mammoth bones. In the other story they even ripped the birds to pieces, and they hacked the horses to bits! (leaving no doubt that they died a violent death). - Then with the immolation: that’s got to leave a layer of ash. The scene that is left over seems rather cataclysmic to me. The bones of our forefathers intermingled with the bones of animals, their bodies buried under stones (that fell onto them from above?) and a layer of ash. If the whole theatrical setting in scene is like walking through a door which is a keyhole, maybe that’s remembering that the whole of human civilization once only barely survived / had to go through a bottleneck, the survivors walking through a symbolic keyhole of sorts, and the great beyond they are fixing their eyes on might have been the deep past, lying beyond an incredible traumatic / violent event. Our fate is fixed: all the layers of worlds that there might have been are going to end in flames one day. Also: from a modern perspective Ygdrassil certainly seems like the tree of life itself with all its branching, or even a symbol for the DNA that is in all of it (- heck there are even messengers in the mythical story, as there is messenger RNA in the unfolding of the biological story). I know: they knew nothing of this back then, but maybe the stories are older, and there was once knowledge that was encoded in myths and in legends long before our age of the world. P.S.: when he talked about one third of the wealth of the dead man being spent on the finest clothes before it goes up in flames, I think of one fifth of the land being destroyed by fire in the apocalypse/ the book of revelation: this is not the future - this is the past: when the old world went under, and a new world was born out of its ashes. I think that this is the core of a lot of religion: death and resurrection may seem about an immortal soul and an afterlife at first glance, but the truth is: we are already living in the afterlife of the civilizations that came before on this planet: death and resurrection already happened (maybe even more than once): after the cataclysm they rolled away the stone from the cave and came out again: the grave is empty (- as empty as the box in the pyramid) - human civilization still lived on. As Randall also taught: INRI to the layman meant “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” - but to the mystics and alchemists who had the (esoteric) knowledge it also meant “in fire gets the world renewed” - it’s stamped right there on the most important part of the most important story: just because religion changes, there still can be layers of meaning that transport the deeper / older story: the cross marks the spot. Sorry, I got carried away a bit.

Thank you for your knowledge and work. I admire it.

Such a rich treasure, this series of talks. Thank you so much. I have several areas of knowledge, but never got to go to school and dig deep into this kind of stuff... well this is the next best thing. You have added a lot of value to my life today, thank you.

Very nice! Feels like I'm back at the university studying archaeology :)! Warm and cozy memories...

Once again thank you to Cornell and Neil Price. This is the best possible way to spend a Sunday!

What a wonderful presentation! Thank you!

Really interesting video and so refreshing and different from all the talk about war and conquests in many of those archaeological videos.

really great lecture, enjoyed listening and will enjoy listening to it again.

Thank you for these lectures, they are very interesting

I love your common denominator of story. My practical definition for religion, literally meaning "relinking," is "the relationship to the story you tell yourself." Excellent work. Loved watching all 3.

I very much enjoyed these lectures, thank you to all involved.

There is a new world, the rising of the phoenix is the depiction. The Vikings flags and symbolism are still very present to this day, they never left.

These lectures have been wonderful, thanks for posting them.

I love this kind of stuff because I am 100% Norwegian but you have to understand Ragnarok happened along long time ago it's an epic disaster that wiped out everything on Earth we are what remains now

Great presentation! Fascinating work.

Just stumbled on this... I wish it had links to the first two lectures in the description oh, also it would have been nice to have the title say something like 'part 3' or lecture 3 to indicate right off that I should be looking for the first two... this seems interesting.

Very relaxing presentation, much thanks.

That was an excellent lecture series, very well researched.

Thank,s profesore, great lecture,i enjoyed listening,Bravo.Salut from Romania,Vic.

very interesting and well presented,thank you.

Excellent lecture, I will remember Neil Price.

Thank you. Edifying.

It is a recent phenomenon that when presented with information from academics people immediately accept it as truth. Even things that cannot possibly be proven. It matters more that they already agree with what they're hearing. People were far more skeptical a short time ago.

The pole in the ship burial reminds me of the poles in Tarim Basin mummies 2000 years earlier.

Much appreciation for an excellent lecture

Brilliant symposium... Skol.

Deep profound perspectives about one of true pure Viking people, place and practices that tell epic tale of legends which throws Light on Spirit shaping the Soul Salty Stony Seedy Search for deeper meanings, higher purpose and wider sea surfacing secrets revealing the journey in the theatre of life and death.

Great lectures! Now, I had always heard that there were magical practices proper to men (galdr, which is incantation and evocation), vs. seidhr, which is invocation, deep trance, spirit possession, etc., which makes a man ergi. It's the practices that require giving up control that are looked down on for men, whether magical or sexual.

Just from the title photo: The catholic (and Protestant?) church has a practice of building churches on old burial grounds. It’s a pretty spooky and I’d say evil thing to do, and doesn’t even make sense in light of what the Bible says. It’s weird...

Freja also had a brother called "Frej" or "Frö", which was a fertility-god. Frö in swedish also means a "seed". So "Frösö" could also be dedicated to him.

The lake near the church that he talks about 41 minutes in the lecture is not located in Härjedalen but in Jämtland. Nice lecture though - thanks for uploading!

The admission of a lifetime: I was - once upon a long-long time ago - a guest at Ph.D. Niel Price's dissertation banquette in the very, very early years of my archaeology studies and I got a chance to speak with him têtê-à-têtê. And, yes, I made a complete ass of myself. Yeaps. This was way before I got a handle on how to handle your academy spirits (that is: how to survive the Flood of alcoholic beverages at academic events - especially when you're a (then) anorexic, weighing in at 105 lb...) I had no idea who I was talking to. We spoke in English which isn't my native language so if I were to guess: Niel spoke English. What the heck I was doing, no one knows... I had no idea how drunk I was because the alcohol had not yet fully hit me - it was more like randomly jabbing at me from the sidelines. I remember the ... ehrm ... conversation ... as ... ehm ... let's say "forced" on my part. On the part of Niel, my salvation all these years has been convincing myself that a: it didn't leave any memorable impression and/or b: I was just yet another young archaeologist drenched in alcohol (and in a party of say ten, there are at least a hundred of those ;) ). Anyway, the whole ordeal lasted about one cigarette before I successfully left the painful awkwardness that struck me like a wet bag of sand in the stomach in-between the as release-lieving as painful back-head jabbs of the alcohol. About 30 seconds later. In the staircase to the level below. The battle was over - the alcohol finally, to no-ones surprise- won. I'm not going to reveal the rest of the evening other than that it ended early, archaeologists are really nice and considerate people, I am cursed with the full recollection that comes from being blackout-impaired (though can't remember what happened mere minutes ago), and - finally - though regrettable, there are no regrets to be had (experience and teachings to learn from? Yes. Regrets? Pointless waste of time that would be better spent striving forward instead of dwelling on what can never change). But, I do SO wish I would one day have the chance to exchange a word (or a bunch) with Dr. Price again. I was a newbie, a rookie, and I knew nothing. 20 years later, I'm as happy as I am confident, to say: things change with time and the more I learn, the less I know, the more the questions that gnaw.

Thank you from Czech republic

This is a fascinating video thank you so much for sharing this!

Thank you for posting these lectures. Very interesting.

Frösön is indeed a beautiful place, I used to live there in town, Östersund....these days, I live in Glasgow!

Brilliant!

Love these lectures and want more :)

Ok, post a link to anything as good as this! See if we can get a ball rollin'

55:25 ..."In every way except physical I am a wolf"...

seems like the most important story is "i existed". "this is who i was". "remember me". and maby "this is where i am going and who i will be".

I love this

This guy is awesome

The head, hooves, skin thing is something that is found in graves of Scandinavian forerunners for thousands of years as they came out of the steppes. I think part of it is originally that the sacrificed animal was eaten in the funerary feast, and the remainder goes into the grave/given to god(s).

I have of course had moments of fear of death I share that to acknowledge I have had them. I think in order to not be cruel, vengeful, turn bitter to be optimistic one must not live in fear that’s not fully living. We as people have injured each other tremendously I have done so & been done so we all have fear is a liar a destroyer of ones peace.

that was top quality.

Jolly good !

UKposts sends me to these type of videos all the time.... why

This energy is also not only achieved in a sexual manner but in manners of focus and love. It’s also called intelligent energy that is channeled in from the intelligent infinity or infinite intelligence. It’s when you activate your crown chakra or violet ray chakra and it opens up the gateway to the intelligent infinity where people can get many ideas for creativeness such like nikola Tesla, da Vinci and many other great inventors did. It doesn’t only have to be achieved through love though both sides of the polarity spectrum of negative and positive can achieve this. According to some sources, the evil people who use this since they aren’t aligned towards love or positive, they tend to use people who do have their heart chakra activated so they can essentially skip that part through the usage of positive people or even rape which explains what the elite are doing.

Can imagine the grave being kept open for people coming from afar to pay their respect, it was a long journey by boat to get from the western parts of Norway to the Oslo fjord, maybe even from Denmark or Sweden. It might be several different party's at different times offering animals to this woman. It is believed she was some sort of priestess or witch, something religious. Her boat was ornate and not for trade or war, she might be seen as a traveling religious center, burying people, weddings, blessing the fertility of the land and people. It is also speculated that the animals found are hunting animals, for falconering. Bones of horses, dogs and falcons where found. Even a peacock's bones was found on the ship.

Great talks , thanks :))

brilliant! thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot - thankyou 🎇

Frigga or Freya, (from Whom we get Brigga or Bridget) is The Goddess in Her Sexual and Fecund Aspect. Britain is named after Bregedd/Bridget, Brittany too, and Britannia much later down the line. The church you showed was built specifically for Her, perhaps upon a grove sacred to Her. Indeed the very word church or kirk, is named after Circe, who also gives us the words; circle, sorceress amongst many others. The Tree (birch) is a primary Goddess symbol (The Wisdom Aspect of The Goddess). Friday was named after Freya, and She was far, far more important than we are led to believe. Christianity stopped these 'pagan' rituals and quashed Goddess worship /knowledge but it is clear that at one time She was The Primary Deity. The snake was considered a symbol of Lucifer/Venus, and in Ireland for example, the iconoclast St Patrick, defaced all snake headstones. The symbol represents The Goddess (Aukundi) in Her Life Giving Energy (kundalini) Aspect. Both Oak and acorn are derived from Her in that Aspect. That just leaves The Fish (fish churches), The Egg, The Bridge, Water itself, and the Spiral/Shell. Yggdrasill is named from Her Egg symbol, (The Goddess in Her Creator Aspect). Paganism derives its name from The Beech Tree incidentally. Fagus, Fagan, Pagan, and originally meant worshipping The Goddess as a Tree (Wisdom). This was a thing not at all appreciated in The Bible. However Gods wife in The Bible is Asherah, which is Buddha's Peepal or Mountain Fig Tree. To further back up this statement, The Druids, who did likewise, were named after the wisdom of the trees, hence tree wit, trewit, druid. I really hope that will help in the further study of this important work. Understanding the deities of that era is surely of utmost importance but has been neglected due to our attitude. The spears are representative of The Sun/Son (Thor/Apollo). The same appearing in Egyptian art. The spear, (The Vel) is what gives Bel, Baal His name.

Totally engrossing set of lectures...

30:55 It's not actually a matter of which language you use, because spelling the final v sound with an f is a remnant of runic orthography; it was changed in Swedish back in 1906 in order to facilitate learning how to read and write, whereas some other Scandinavian languages have retained this frankly awesome archaic feature stemming from the fact that there was no v rune in the Younger Futhark. You would use ᚢ in the beginning of a word and ᚠ at the end.

Very interesting stuff. One tiny detail I wondered about actually. He said thatbtehy found bones of 6 elk at Frösö church. I guess this is a common mistake. The Elk (with k) - Cervus canadensis - is not common in Scandinavia. I guess he was referring to moose (elg in Scandinavian languages)

They had keys back then? With victorian style key holes? Looks phallic to me.

Magnificent 👍🙏🏽🍻!

I swear Prof. Price was talking about a fourth lecture in this one.

At 10:00 minutes viewing the the 2 monuments.... turn them upsidedown... there is more artwork on it them... that's why it seems garbled or whatever was said to describe the blurry(?) image. You can turn it 90 degrees 4x and it makes 4 sets of different images and I bet there is a back side with more ambiguous art, as well as a side view that you can flip as well. I bet they also exhibit contour rivalry... meaning depending on the angle what is viewed on the "monuments" changes. I know a LOT MORE about that particular type of "monument". I'm going to share it with others(as I'm trying to do here). All other forums I've tried block and delete my comments/posts You can try to take credit for it but you don't know how I came about obtaining this knowledge... and you got it from me, the only one (so far) that knows (as far as I know). So when they ask you how you figured it out, you wont have the answer and are incapable of coming up with the right answer because I haven't told you. You'd think that you would have figured it out yourself by now, but you have already demonstrated you can't, for you already would have... and haven't. I'm telling all... Don't or I will show, I will be hot and have no sympathy intending disgrace. Lion-Serpent-Bat

Today in Norwegian, Danish & German the word "hov", hof is also used for the foot of a horse.. Imagine there is a connection to the cult room where one is transferred to an another place or world..

Honestly. It is almost a joke how often i am brought here

Hälsningar från Jämtland!

Thank you for interesting lectures! Was the fourth also filmed?

Holocaust translates as burnt offering. Baal requires burnt offerings of children. The structures today were taken over and turned into Cathedrals, they are Cathodes power centers and frequency healing centers originally.

Really cool.

@Bustin Jest is this who you speak of?

I love when you can hear the passion in someone's voice. We should all strive to have that one love, that thing we do. That thing we would do for free but you've "tricked" someone or some company to pay you to do that thing. 😏🤭🤫😛😜🤪🤑🤑 I love video games, eating, smoking weed & cigarettes, women, muscle cars, traveling, helping people, going somewhere for the 1st time and being lazy and lounging around in PJ'S all day long..... soooo what is that, job/career wise????!!???? Please help those are my favorite things in the world, how do I get payed to do those things?

The young man that made the Introductions kept referring to the Northern Europeans as “Vikings” but “Viking was the action not the people :)

When on right path our souls give messages to the as Juan body us...

Awesome

I would love to take this guy way out in the mountains and feed him an heroic dose of magic mushrooms after a lunar cycle of shamanic dosing of fly agaric along with the waters of life to induce the quickening. One lunar month then hit the woods, rip his ego out and shred his institutionalized conditioning then see what comes of it. What would his immense knowledge combined with his new knowledge of the infinite world of the tree of life produce? I predict the outcome would be amazing! This guy is incredible!

He had me at "A particularly terrible kind of power."

The dead has access to their graves and bones being a link to the world of the living and the old stories sometimes use this by having kin visit the graves of their father or ancestor and speaking to them and another reason bones make powerful talismans and runes being linked to the realm of the dead and the living and adding blood to it could be a means of giving it life even forming a connection between the person and the bones and such links and portals may not be limited to graves and bones and could mean the difference between a cursed or blessed ring or place.

very educational;

Survive the Jive

Its being at a crossroads in life n see sawing in and out of old or new or left or right so to speak.

I know serveral viking reenacters, after these lectures I can only conclude they are more christian than viking

ALL THIS INTELLECT AND WHAT STANDS OUT IN MY MIND IS CANNABIS WAS FOUND IN A GRAVE. YOU CAN KEEP THE HENBANE THANK YOU, BUT MY GREATEST GRANNY WAS A POT HEAD. I'LL GO VIKING FOR THAT. OH AND THANKS PROFESSOR PRICE--GOOD STUFF. HAVE FUN GARE

Trollas not withstanding the discussion, that's interesting, I'd never heard that about Nuremberg..

Who else woke up and this was playing?

is there the fourth lecture anywhere?

These beliefs live on somewhere in our ancestral consciousness.

This guy managed to execute a very enjoyable, thorough and informative and insight into old Northern Nordic practices. I don't believe he covered the part where they get their intelligence from.- I heard that they kept their cattle within their tall home and their gas would ways be present, which lowered the IQ of the Nordics. Air quality has a strong
