Sturla Ellingvåg on Vikings, Norse Myths, Genetic Memory & Connecting the Longer Lines in History

My ancestors give me strenght.

Thanks for inviting Sturla, Jan. Sturla is a man capable of independent thinking, a rare gift. Supported by scientific knowledge such a man may travel far, and that's just what he did, apparently, since he ventured 12000 years into the chasm of our past. I'm fairly curious. Cheers.

Thank you for this interview. I love talks that almost hurt my brain! I’m a retired visual artist who has always been inspired by Mythology, especially Celtic and 100% believe in genetic memory even before dna tests clarified my heritage for me. As a women, our history is almost never spoken of. I heard a science author talk about how intrinsic memory especially in females reaches back in time, as a woman’s mother’s eggs are formed in her grandmother’s uterus during gestation. Hence passing along trauma and other memory traits affected by experiences from that grandmother. I’m a mother, grandmother, a Canadian born of Highland Scots, Irish and Norse people. The older I get, the more connections to and answers for my ancient memories and traits. So, so interesting.

This is so accurate. I 100% believe in cell memory. The more I study my ancestors culture the more I realize I am practicing it without having been taught.

On the runes being more like greek letters: an Alexander - medal/coin was dug out of a field in Sweden some years back..

Thanks for this wonderful message that helps me understand my intuitiveness. I have learned so much today through the work you both do. If you have no fear of unknown things, you can pull strength for the future. Lynn in Naples FL 💕

Sturla Ellingvåg is a great Historian!

@VikingStories is one of my favorite channels. Thank you for having him on yours.

Yes Transcend Fantastic i love this DNA remembering ❤️

Great discussion, I would like to hear more from Sturla.

I love listening to Sturla!

Amazing video. Thanks for putting it out there.

Great video & great channel! I’ve seen one or two of Sturla’s interviews before and always appreciated that he’s clearly a wise man but the things he went into today and hinted at made me realise he’s on-top of the most groundbreaking discoveries about the Interconnectedness of the European peoples and our great ancient legacies across the globe! Great interview—subbed!

I enjoyed the discussion topic! I thought that the information you shared on genetic memory was really great. I have been looking for more information on the pre-history of the Vikings, which you covered very well!

Start your timecode at 00:00 chaps, the chapters don't show up on the timeline unless you do. Great work

Correction: 19:01 does not mention that "English law is Norman law." William ("the conquerer") divested the natives of property in favor of Normans,, but did not totally dismantle the administrative practices already in place in certain regions, because some were recognized as effective and efficient, and some pre-Norman usages were codified in law. I do not however, agree with the concept of "genetic memory" in relation to myths.

Very enjoyable, two of my favorite youtubers at once, great!

What a superb conversation! Thank you for bringing such tremendous insights into our heritage.❤

This is a fascinating academic area. An excellent discussion.

Amazing video and interview my friend 👍😀
