Description:

In 921 AD, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, an ambassador from the Abbasid Caliphate, was sent on a diplomatic mission to the King of the Volga Bulgars. What he found along the way was a culture unlike anything he had ever seen: the Rus’ (Volga Vikings).
In this 4:30 minute documentary, we explore the eyewitness testimony that changed history. Ibn Fadlan’s meticulous journals provide a rare, first-hand look at the physical appearance, hygiene (or lack thereof), and the terrifyingly grand funeral ceremonies of the Viking tribal leaders.
Key Highlights in this Video:
• The Meeting of Two Worlds: An Arab intellectual encounters the fierce Northmen.
• Viking Customs: How Ibn Fadlan’s descriptions confirm the existence and lifestyle of the Rus'.
• The Death Ceremony: A breakdown of the ship burial and the rituals surrounding a fallen Viking chieftain.
• Historical Accuracy: Why this 1,000-year-old diary remains a cornerstone for historians today.
If you’re a fan of history, archaeology, or the 13th Warrior, this is a story you cannot miss.
