Norse mythology is a mythological system coming from the North Germanic Peoples and Old Norse religion. Norse (or Nordic or Scandinavian) mythology contains stories of gods, creatures and humans derived from various sources such as folk tales and the medieval scripts such as the Sagas and Eddas, as well as archaeological evidence such as rune stones. The myths include differing types of gods such as the Aesir and the Vanir, locations such as the Nine Worlds including Asgard and Vanaheim, and various elements to explain creation, the afterlife and the end of times in Ragnarok.
Ancient Origins has been quoted by:
At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe.
