0:00

#vikings #history #medieval In this episode, Hendrik and Carmen
show you the fascinating world of the Vikings – the real history,
not the Hollywood clichés! From bearded warriors with horned
helmets to wild raiders: what's actually true? We dive into a
complex society of farmers, traders, and seafarers who ventured
from Scandinavia all the way to North America with their
revolutionary longships. Learn all about the sophisticated social
system with Jarls, Karls, and Thralls, surprisingly progressive
women's rights, and everyday life in the famous longhouses. From
the fascinating world of gods featuring Odin, Thor, and Loki to
the dramatic Ragnarök prophecy – Norse mythology still resonates
in pop culture and metal music today. Spectacular archaeological
finds like the Oseberg ship and L'Anse aux Meadows prove: the
Vikings reached America 500 years before Columbus! Enjoy this
exciting journey into the past! #vikinghistory #norsemythology
