episode Unveiling the Real Vikings: Beyond Myths and Helmets cover

Description

In this episode, I explored the world of Vikings beyond the myths. We talked about the misconception of horned helmets, a fabrication from Wagner's opera, and delved into their roles as farmers, traders, and skilled navigators. I also highlighted the complexity of Viking society, where women enjoyed rights uncommon for the era, including property ownership and the ability to initiate divorce. These were multifaceted people, not just raiders, but explorers, settlers, and community leaders.
