Could Viking mythology preserve memories of ancient technology, flying machines, and encounters with beings from beyond Earth? On this episode of Earth Ancients, Cliff Dunning welcomes Australian author, artist, and researcher David Lovegrove to explore his book, Viking Superpowers—Way of Asgard, and his unconventional interpretations of the Norse gods and their mysterious homeland. Drawing on his study of Old Norse and Icelandic, Lovegrove reexamines the Icelandic sagas, the Eddas, Bronze Age Scandinavian rock carvings, and unusual artifacts. He proposes that descriptions of Asgard, celestial bridges, and powerful supernatural beings could reflect encounters with advanced civilizations.
We explore his interpretations of apparent flying craft, orbital stations, ancient artificial intelligence, and humanoid robotics—and ask how these readings compare with familiar understandings of Viking mythology. Who were the Aesir, and why did medieval historian Snorri Sturluson connect their origins with Asia? Could traditions from Türkiye and ancient Armenia share meaningful connections with the stories of Scandinavia? Lovegrove discusses the “Sky People,” cross-in-circle sunwheel symbols, and two archaeological finds he believes support his case for ancient extraterrestrial contact.
Join us for a provocative conversation about Norse mythology, Viking history, ancient mysteries, paleocontact, and the relationship between myth and evidence.
