About the funeral ritual.. at that time the Scandinavians didn't burn their dead, they buried them (in ships, if possible). The "burn time", as it was called, was several centuries earlier. That alone tells that the described ritual was different from what was practiced in Scandinavia.

You gotta love Olha. Her stunt with birds burning down Korosten is probably the first arial raid that pre-dates Wright brothers 😅

Such a great and interesting video! Thank you for your content!

Grateful for this Playlist! @Kings and Generals & Company!!

Ibn-Rustah wrote about 10th century Novgorod. Also archeological studies have shown that Novgorod was founded in 10th century so it doesn't make sense to reference to it in the pre-Kyiv period

Rurik is as legendary and mythical as the dragons on the vikings' sails. Mentioned only in 1113 in the same source that tells the story of "tribes inviting vikings to rule over them". Most probably Nestor's or someone else's invention

The Rus conquered the Slavs militarily and the Slavs conquered the Rus culturally in the end.

I'm trying my best to learn more about the world it can get very difficult trying to remember everything and the different people and languages.

I've always wondered if the vikings ever ran into any zoastrians
