Brute Norse Podcast Ep. 22: The Bronze Age Flasher (With Aksel Klausen)

In this smoking hot episode of the BN Pod, Aksel Klausen returns for banter-filled spitballing on ancient Scandinavia and new old news from European prehistory. Like, Whatever happened to that frickin’ viking ship (?) from episode 14, and what's up with these Viking Era mortuary houses?

Some of the subjects tackled this time around:

- The Crossroads exhibit at the Art & History Museum, Brussels.
- Migration period identity.
- Aksel's time travel hitlist.
- Preliminary results from the Gjellestad ship excavation.
- Democratization of Viking burial practice.
- A phallic stone from Bronze Age Sweden.
- Iron Age mortuary houses.
- Eirik's dream burial.
- Hollow promises of future podcast subjects.
- The afterlife, reincarnation, and Germanic naming conventions.
