Moving gun powder horns at the Cultural History museum
<p><strong>I work with history and communication at one of Sweden's largest museums, the Cultural History Museum in Lund in southern Sweden. One of Sweden's largest? Calculated in terms of exhibition space and number of objects in the collection, it is one of the biggest, even though Kulturen is a regional museum.</strong></p><p>In a museum, the museum's various historical objects are always being moved. As an employee, I have the opportunity to go behind the scenes and film some of the unique items and show you.</p><p>Here is a video of the items moved right now:</p><p>Gun powder horns from the 1600s and 1700s.</p><p>Right now, a weapons transfer is underway. Out of several hundred rifles, pistols, bayonets, armour, yes even a mine from the Second World War are to be moved to better premises that are climate-adapted for museum purposes.</p><p>The objects to be moved are photographed and cataloged and then packed into special boxes to preserve them for the future. Now is the chance to take pictures of the weapons before they are packed away!</p><p>The other day it was time for the museum's gun powder horns to be packed down and I was there to film this.</p><p>Powder horns were used to keep the gun powder for the rifle dry. From the beginning, hollowed-out horns from deer or cows were used, then you also got a practical spout that could be used when the gunpowder was poured into the muzzle-loaded rifle. Over time, powder horns began to be manufactured in ivory or some other exclusive material, to eventually also become mass-produced in metal.</p><p>The powder horns were often very richly decorated, and since it was the highest social class that engaged in hunting, they were expensive and fine powder horns that also showed material status, much like wearing an expensive watch today.</p><p>The museum has hundreds of powder horns like this.</p><p>Here is a video with some examples. It begins with the powder horn that Karl XII's soldiers during the Great Nordic War had in the field between 1700 and 1718. Interesting to see that they used the kings name as a “brand” for the army not a national flag. It was the king you were loyal to, the king who also participated in the fighting.</p><p>Here is the video!</p><p>Thank you for being a paid subscriber!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Hamas - Why did so few in the West hear what they really said?
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit <a href="https://johanromin.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7">johanromin.substack.com</a><br/><br/><p>I have traveled to Gaza three times and met with several of the groups that later participated in the October 7 attack on Israel. I met Hamas leaders and fighters/terrorists to listen what they had to say about the conflict with Israel.</p><p>In 2015, I filmed a reality series that was broadcasted on Swedish TV and in that show a group of militant men were interviewed.</p><p>The bakground and context was this:</p><p>Listening to this interview today, knowing that this group participated in the killing of Israeli civilians last October is both scary and horrifying, but especially knowing the Oct 7 attack, you realize that they were relatively open all along with what they were up to .</p><p>This interview is behind a paywall but can be viewed by all paying members. If you become one, close to 200 articles on Nordic history await. Articles that you can also listen to via Substack's own in-app AI tool. Welcome to become a paying member.</p>

Expedition: Historia – Avsnitt 7: När kungen skulle mördas
<p><strong>Året är 1573. </strong></p><p><strong>En grupp skotska yrkessoldater har marscherat genom Sverige, från västkusten mot Stockholm. Klädda i traditionella skotska rutiga kläder och huvudbonader, och med säckpipa, trummor o dragna vapen i hand, vandrar de nu in i Stockholm. </strong></p><p><strong>Stadsborna kantar gatorna och står häpna och hänförda. Ingen har sett en sådan syn tidigare.</strong></p><p><strong>Skottarnas mål med resan är kriget i Baltikum där de ska delta på svensk sida, köpta som de är för att kriga för den svenske monarken, mot Ivan den förskräcklige, de ryske härskaren.</strong></p><p><strong>Skottarna ses därför som ett välkommet tillskott, stridsvana soldater som kan krossa Ivans horder av män.</strong></p><p><strong>På vägen till kriget har de alltså stannat till i Stockholm, den viktigaste och största staden i kung Johan III:s rike. Här ska de möta några av de mäktigaste militärerna, kungen själv, samt hålla en uppvisning med sin traditionella svärdsdans, till den speciella skotska musiken. </strong></p><p><strong>Det kommer bli en spektakulär uppvisning. Med brinnande eldar, glimrande svärd, en dans till rytmisk musik, det delas ut gratis mat och vin till folket. Det kommer bli ett skådespel som både kungen och folket i Stockholm skulle komma att tala om i åratal framöver. </strong></p><p><strong>Men det finns en befallning från skottarnas officerare som kretsar runt i de dansandes huvuden, en order som om den skulle iscensättas och bli verklighet skulle komma att förändra Sveriges historia för all framtid. </strong></p><p><strong>I samband med svärdsdansen skulle nämligen kung Johan III mördas.</strong></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Swedish Historian at <a href="https://swedishhistorian.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">swedishhistorian.substack.com/subscribe</a>
