Very fascinating video. Anybody who has studied the Anglo-Saxons and the Norse Vikings in the Early Middle Ages even in a cursory manner knows that, culturally speaking, they were pretty much the same people. I didn't realize, however, that the similarities were so complete that their languages were mutually intelligible.

Anybody who has studied the Saxons, knows that they love to pretend they are the same as the Norse when it suits them, and then shove the knife in their back when it suits them too.
The most enduring cultural-ethical borders in Europe is between Denmark and Germany, echoed by the Viking conflicts in Britain and that disparaging saxon propaganda ritual which is still most of the current narrative today of their alleged history.
The same cultural-ethical conflicts which were ww1, and ww2, even the american civil war...
Which is and always has been about the difference between a free and open society, and an hierarchical one based on superficial racial-fetish.

Hm. Fascinating. The setters in the Lower South region of the United States that started the Civil War that I am a native of came from Southwestern England, the area in England settled by Saxons Wessex, Middlesex, Essex, Sussex, Hwicce. The people that settled the rest of the country came from the part of England settled by the Angles the former Northumbria (The Upper South/Scots-Irish country), Mercia (The Midlands/Pennsylvania and the Lower Midwest), and East Anglia (New England, Upstate New York, the Upper Midwest, and the West Coast). I believe that the Angle and Saxon split in England does not the get the attention it deserves when studying history and ethnology.   |

Some people built innovative craft, others wrote stories about them.
