Hello lads welcome back to the Swedish history series. I am checking in from an Iron Age fortress so this wasn't used during the four or five hundred AD so a bit earlier than the Viking Age and there is a little legend about this fortress that they lived a woman here who inherited a large fortune from her father and she had a lot of suitors who perhaps they were out for the inheritance as well who knows but she spurned the mole and one day there came a raiding party and sacked the castle might be some truth to it even though it's a legend I don't know but what I do know is if you look around you here it's quite far from the coast but during that time during the Iron Age and Viking Age the sea level was much higher than it is today so this was actually connected to the sea and the next location I will show in this video was also connected to the sea so right now this is yeah 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 so a lot more connected back then so that is where I'm at an Iron Age fortress so yeah you can have a look around the common sequence this place and then we'll move on to another place which you might be familiar with since I'm taking a lot of pictures there your ancestors are watching so make sure they are admiring what they see so you might recognize this epic roonstone right here and where I am at right now is just as the other place it was connected to the sea back in the day but now it's just a lake a little walk further in that direction and what was happening here you ask yes it was a ting so a ting was basically a meeting place slash council basically where men got together to decide on match so law so if someone had an errand yeah you took it up with the ting so Arkel's ting stuff is what this place is called and of course since this is quite central and connected to the sea it was a quite well visited ting and a lot of powerful men came here with their supporters to do law fair against each other if some predicament had occurred so that is basically what I wanted to show in this video just showing some sights in the nice nature onto the next site greetings and salutations I'm checking in with my good friend survived a jive that's right that's right the phrase of power that we use here so basically I will link his video as well I have recommended his channel for a long time I will do so again very good contents we are at a bronze age petroglyph so I will show that now and I don't know which video I will end up using this material in but I'm sure it's a great video anyway so yeah have a look at this absolutely aesthetic thing so I'm actually not quite sure how much of it you can see because of the light but it looks quite aesthetic from from where I'm looking now at least so yeah a lot of epic finds here so I just thought to check in with that exact so boom you
