Many female viking graves have been found with weapons in them. Appears it was based on skill and experience how much or what kind of weapons it was there, from household items and a Sax up to a girl who lay on her shield, had sword, axe,bow and arrows,spear and her horse by her feet. Can be compared with the Schythian women warriors, or the native blonde/ red haired tribes in South America of possible Phoenician or Viking origin that gave name to the river there when the puzzled Spaniards encountered them.

Skip the overdubbing of English and put subtitles. Simple as that.

I'm thinking Nordic women of the Era had more rights and respect because they shouldered all the roles when the men went " a viking " away for long periods of time.. I independent autonomy encourages competence and strength. A l so, longer periods between childbearing meant overall better health. They had to do or die. I wrote this before the narrator said it. So I'm glad I haven't romanticized their history.

God why are so many people whining about a story that shows a woman in charge
@spraakkanon3 жыл бұрын
Because it didn't happen. They don't whine about a woman in charge, they criticize people who lie about history to fit their narrative. These lies often grow when they are passed on in circles to whom it benefits to believe the claim. These people will also 'teach' others and completely distort facts. One example of this is the type of presence that sub-saharan Africans imposed on the northern fringes of the Roman empire. People who really know history know that the romans had contacts with black Africans and even that some of them were occasionally (but rarely) stationed in Western Europe, perhaps some of them even had high positions. As soon as 'woke' people got air of this they first increased the perceived percentage of black Africans in roman legions in the north, than they added more and spread the assumption that a lot of them had high ranking roles in the field and Rome itself, than they added more to the flame by claiming that the roman empire was basically a sub-saharan creation and that Africans imposed culture to Europeans. History should never be part of a socio-political narrative.

Yes we have female burials, high status, some with spears, but no proof of warrior femails a spear is a sign of importance, most likely a seer or wife of a king, not a warrior. Years of practice and use would be evident on skeletal remains, due to overdeveloped muscles/ tendons etc in certain areas of the body. To us they would look unnatural, like descriptions of medieval longbow men,would appear lopsided and in life easy to spot. No femail burials like that have been found. It's possible a few powerful women fought. But nothing like in the show 'vikings' small slim blondes, is pure fiction.

@@moniquem783 Yup. Youre Correct . That happens a Lot of the time . IF you want to learn things from Archeological Evidence and how they deduce things, might i suggest watching Time Team . IF you enjoy watching things come out from the ground and see how its done and in an entertaining way then you would enjoy it . Theres a few digs from York, Jorvik as it was known back then, of a Viking Settlement, from how the town evolved and grew to the daily life of the people there . Cheers.

As a Historian and translator I find it funny how this is passed off as a history documentary. The Historians commenting clearly studied other cultures and Viking history is completely alien to them. They just ignore the Dane Law and Runic carvings and act as if the Vikings were in the middle of a modern day feminist movement. This whole documentary is fictional and contains less historical fact than the TV show Vikings. If one of my students ever said sayga instead of saga.... I'd have recommend the blood eagle for them. The name of this channel should be Absolute BS.

This is ideology, not history, viking women did not fight and there is not a shred of evidence to support that they did.

Some of the "facts" in this video about the vikings are not accurate. I believe some of the writings from arabic writers discuss unicorns. The first troll/rickroll from the vikings documented lol
