I love shows like this!!! I'm an American who uploaded my DNA to the ancient DNA site. They matched me to Chedder Man (6500 BC) in Southern England and of course, many Vikings!
The presence of burials with warrior gear and grave goods suggests that the Vikings had a nuanced social hierarchy, where status was tied to warfare and conquest. This detail breaks the stereotype of Vikings as mere savages; they were complex, with customs and rituals that echoed their values. The political use of burials, especially on Anglo-Saxon royal sites, feels like a declaration of conquest - a way of saying, "We’re not just here to visit; we’re here to stay." Additionally, it’s fascinating to consider the blend of cultures that resulted from these invasions. The infusion of Scandinavian customs into English society, from place names to artifacts, implies a far deeper integration than simple occupation. It’s easy to see this as an early form of globalization, with cultural exchange happening amidst chaos and conflict. King Alfred’s peace treaty with the Vikings wasn’t just about halting wars; it was about acknowledging a new, shared reality where both cultures had to coexist, paving the way for a uniquely hybrid English identity.
cool....but totally wrong.......and this is why....: do you remember the invasion of the Normandy by the Cowboys??? in 1944 an army of Cowboys landed on the shores of France...and then the Cowboy army defeated Hitler and bla bla.....
Two minutes in is more than enough listening to these woke clowns. "Unfortunately we don't really have a much better word to use, at the moment "Vikings" is really the best that we've got." WTF?????????

i wonder what did soldiers do during a raid if they had to poo. Did they just stop and do it and fall behind.
