Vikings Weren’t Who You Think They Were | Myths vs Reality | Psychology 🧠

Описание: Vikings Weren’t Who You Think They Were | Myths vs Reality | Psychology 🧠

For centuries, Vikings have been portrayed as horned-helmeted barbarians who drank from skulls and burned Europe to the ground. But history tells a far more complex — and far more interesting — story.

In this video, we separate myth from reality to uncover who the Vikings really were. From the true origins of the word “Viking” and the early raids that marked the beginning of the Viking Age, to the climate shifts, political pressures, and maritime technology that pushed Scandinavian societies toward raiding, trade, and expansion.

We explore what archaeology reveals about Viking warfare, slavery, trade networks, burial practices, and gender roles — including evidence that challenges the idea of Vikings as exclusively male warriors. You’ll also learn where famous myths like horned helmets, skull goblets, and fiery ship funerals actually came from — and why most of them are modern inventions.

Drawing on historical accounts, archaeological discoveries, and recent research, this video shows how limited our sources are — and how much of the Viking world remains misunderstood even today.

If you’re interested in real history beyond pop-culture stereotypes, this deep dive into the Viking Age is for you.
