From Raiders To Kingdoms: What Happened When The Vikings Stayed | The Vikings | Timeline

The Vikings are perhaps best known as Raiders, but perhaps their most enduring legacy is that of settlers. Many of Europe's nations owe a great debt to the Vikings and wouldn't be the same countries we know today without the influence of these warriors from the north.

"Saxon paranoia"!!!! I would suggest that hatred/suspicion of Vikings was NOT paranoia.

[@oneshothunter9877]

Exactly, they had their reasons. My ancestors are fortunate enough to be able to take them out. Or maybe they fled.

A Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.

[@paulroese1376]

given the Viking military success why isn't this video being presented in Norse? why are Christian churches from that period not temples of Odin or Thor? how much of the Viking GNP was based on Human Trafficking? are Norse folks still involved in the slave market? when did the Vikings establish universal healthcare in their zones of conquest?

[@lucylovic]

But the Romans were so much more powerful..and advanced.

[@viking8889]

Vikings, the original channel crossing illegal immigrants. Just saying

[@camel303]

Nobody knows how Vikings looked and dressed but still you see these generic fantasy pictures.

[@FacesintheStone]

We know how the ancient people looked, we know how the Paleo Indians looked. I’m sure there are some stones with some Vikings on them as well. Before paper, stone was the media for holding information.

[@veronicajensen7690]

that is not true we there have been found lots of clothes from the Vikings, and from Scandinavians from much earlier than the Viking age, dna also shows they looked much like modern day Scandinavians the amount of blonde hair was the same as today, so some had brown hair, some blond, some red ect, we also know how they braided their hair what jewelry they had, what they ate and much more
