"Recent historical findings suggest that the discovery of gunpowder may have been made independently and before it came to Europe, by Viking settlers in Iceland.

Because, there is a story in the Icelandic Saga’s that appears to describe the invention of gunpowder in Iceland between 800 and 1000 A.D.

The saga portrays a young man from a humble background who attains mastery in weapon-smiting and is credited with constructing a formidable weapon called the Atgeirr, which is referenced multiple times, but not adequately described in the Saga’s. Until now!"

This is an April fools joke by Jackson Crawford last year, and I fell for it, hook line and sinker! This is NOT real, but I thought you might have a good laugh over me, not realizing that it was April's fools day...

Just like modern-day life, pets were an integral part of daily life and culture in Viking society. While Vikings are often associated with their prowess in battle and seafaring adventures, they also had a deep connection with animals, using them for practical purposes, companionship, and as symbols of status and prosperity.
They were valued members of Viking households and contributed to the overall fabric of Viking life and culture.

March 16, 1968 an American platoon enters the sleepy village of My Lai. In the next four hours, more than 500 people will be killed in America’s most infamous mass-killing of the Vietnam War.

This is “Understanding the My Lai Massacre: The Anatomy of a War Crime”.

Days of the week named by Vikings.

#viking #daysoftheweek #shorts

The inception of Hells Angels Denmark marked a pivotal moment in the country's counterculture and motorcycle club history.

Emerging in the early 80s, the founding of this notorious chapter reflected a unique fusion of rebellious spirit, camaraderie, and violence.

Inspired by the original Hells Angels, the Danish chapter quickly carved its own distinct identity, embodying the ethos of freedom, independence, and a disdain for societal norms.

Hells Angels Denmark became a formidable presence, captivating attention for both its enigmatic allure and its controversial and brutal reputation, making them the most violent biker chapter in Europe.

This is the beginning and rise of Hells Angels Denmark.

Hells Angels Denmark was declining after three major wars in the last 35 years. But it was the fourth war and third biker war in Denmark, who really put the Angels to the test.
A new, all colour inclusive biker club had just entered Denmark, challenging the dominance of Hells Angels, Satudarah MC.
They would soon double in size compared to their rival the Angels, but also brought crime and violence not seen in Scandinavia before, sparking the third biker war in Denmark.
This is biker history with Magnus.

The Christening of Norway was a slow but brutal affair. Norwegians have always been fiercely independent and didn’t like that the old Norse God’s and temples were being burnt down.
The first king who tried to convert the Norwegians had to repent in front of Pagan God’s and symbols, wowing to never try again and was forced to worship his God in private.
But the following Christian King’s would not make the same mistake and brutally forced people to be baptized or they would be killed.
This is the story of the brutal Viking Christening of Norway.

Dan Lynge became Hells Angels during the first Danish biker war, but feared for his life after crossing one of the most powerful members of HA Denmark and decided to go to the police.
Instead of prosecuting him for being involved in a murder, weapons and other serious criminal activities, he was never charged, and became the Police’s most valuable biker informant in Denmark’s history.
This was illegal in Denmark at the time, causing a great scandal, not only for the police and the security police, but also for several high ranking officials in the government.
He worked for the police as a Hells Angels member, but got kicked out in “Bad standing” for so to change his colors and become Bandidos, while still working for the police.
From hang around to prospect, from fully patched member to Sergeant of arms, and from biker to police informant, This is the story of Dan Lynge, Denmarks best or worst, depending on who you ask, “Stikker” (snitch).

Thomas Francis Neale was a New Zealand bushcraft and survival enthusiast, who, unlike the other castaway stories I have here on my channel, chose this himself.
He spent much of his life in the Cook Islands, a total of 16 years, in three sessions – living alone on an island of the Suwarrow atoll, the first two of which were the basis of his popular autobiography An Island To Oneself.
Even though being a father of 4, or maybe even 6 children, he was an absentee father, following his dream to the bitter end.

Apologies for a few rough cuts in this video, my editing program crashed while making this video and I could not change it. But I hope you will find the information interesting anyway.

A massive explosion rocked the western side of Chicago, targeting a building on Grand Avenue. This incident ranked as the third-largest car bomb attack in the United States, following the Oklahoma City bombing. 100 pounds of C4 explosives were hidden in a stolen sedan and detonated during rush hour on a busy city street. The target was the clubhouse of the Hells Henchmen, a local biker club associated with Hells Angels. Law enforcement suspects the Outlaws, the dominant motorcycle gang in the region, as the culprits. The Hells Angels were trying to expand in the Midwest, leading to a violent clash with the Outlaws, resulting in car bombs and escalating conflict with the Hells Angels.

This is the war for the American Midwest.

Is civilization really only 7-8000 years old, or is there evidence that human civilization might be much older? Is everything we read in the history books correct, or are there aspects of human history that we might have wrong, or miss interpreted?
