00:00:00.000 Hello lads! Welcome back to the Swedish history series. I am checking in from an Iron Age fortress.
00:00:10.000 So this was in use during the 4 or 5 hundreds AD. So a bit earlier than the Viking Age.
00:00:19.000 And there is a little legend about this fortress that there lived a woman here who inherited a large fortune from her father.
00:00:29.000 And she had a lot of suitors who perhaps they were out for the inheritance as well. Who knows?
00:00:35.000 But she spurned them all and one day there came a raiding party and sacked the castle.
00:00:43.000 Might be some truth to it even though it's a legend. I don't know.
00:00:47.000 But what I do know is if you look around you here it's quite far from the coast.
00:00:54.000 But during that time, during the Iron Age and Viking Age, the sea level was much higher than it is today.
00:01:02.000 So this was actually connected to the sea. And the next location I will show in this video was also connected to the sea.
00:01:11.000 So right now this is out in the forest basically. But back in the day it was an important hub where you could go out into Viking or you could trade and stuff.
00:01:25.000 So a lot more connected back then. So that is where I'm at.
00:01:32.000 Iron Age fortress. So yeah, you can have a look around the common sequence of this place.
00:01:38.000 And then we'll move on to another place which you might be familiar with since I've taken a lot of pictures there.
00:01:55.000 And that's it, but that's right.
00:02:06.000 So because I'm praying and I'm
00:02:19.020 like and I'm like, should I lower it?
00:02:20.000 We'll be right back.
00:02:50.000 Your ancestors are watching, so make sure they are admiring what they see.
00:03:01.260 So you might recognize this epic rune stone right here.
00:03:05.580 And where I am at right now is just as the other place.
00:03:09.860 It was connected to the sea back in the day, but now it's just a lake, a little walk further
00:03:17.060 in that direction.
00:03:18.720 And what was happening here, you ask?
00:03:21.240 Yes, it was a ting.
00:03:22.920 So a ting was basically a meeting place slash council, basically where men got together
00:03:29.340 to decide on matters of law.
00:03:31.800 So if someone had an errand, yeah, you took it up with a ting.
00:03:34.920 So Arkils Tingsta is what this place is called.
00:03:39.080 And of course, since this is quite central and connected to the sea, it was a quite well-visited
00:03:45.800 ting.
00:03:46.800 And a lot of powerful men came here with their supporters to do lawfare against each other
00:03:52.480 if some predicament had occurred.
00:03:55.780 So that is basically what I wanted to show in this video.
00:04:00.260 Just showing some sights in the nice nature.
00:04:02.780 On to the next sight.
00:04:04.460 Greetings and salutations, I am checking in with my good friend, Survive the Jive.
00:04:12.980 That's right!
00:04:13.980 That's right!
00:04:14.980 Phrase of power that we use here.
00:04:17.560 So basically, I will link his video as well.
00:04:20.340 I have recommended his channel for a long time, I will do so again.
00:04:24.340 Very good content.
00:04:25.340 So we are at a Bronze Age petroglyph.
00:04:30.060 So I will show that now.
00:04:31.840 And I don't know which video I will end up using this material in, but I'm sure it's
00:04:35.960 a great video anyway.
00:04:37.380 So yeah, have a look at this absolutely aesthetic thing.
00:04:50.340 So I'm actually not quite sure how much of it you can see because of the light, but it
00:05:04.740 looks quite aesthetic from where I'm looking now at least.
00:05:08.840 So yeah, a lot of epic finds here.
00:05:12.060 So I just thought to check in with that.
