Top 10 Norse Gods


Chances are you'll probably guess the top three before the video ends, but it's still a fun one nonetheless:

Thanks for the video. I don't know much about Norse Mythology (despite watching all those MCU movies where Thor's in 😉). Didn't realize many days of the 7 days in a week were associated with Norse gods. So I googled the origin of days and find this:
Tuesday is the first to be named after a god. It was named for Tiu, or Twia, a lesser-known god of war and the sky from the English/Germanic pantheon. He is also associated with the Norse god Tyr, who was a defender god in Viking mythology.
Thursday is one of the easiest days to translate, meaning “Thor’s day”. Named for the Norse god of thunder and lightning.
Friday is associated with Freya, the Norse goddess of love, marriage, and fertility.
Here's the full article about the 7 days of the week if anyone's interested. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/04/the-origin-of-the-7-day-week-and-the-names-of-the-days-of-the-week/

And then in the comment section, some suggests that friday (Frige's Day) is associated with Frigg instead of Freya. Frigg, is Odin's wife. Lastly, also another one suggests that Sat is associated with Loki, citing this research http://samla.raa.se/xmlui/bitstream/handle/raa/2914/1998_201.pdf. Very interesting read.
