    We just found a viking settlement along the Niagara river in western n.y., so far we know that there were over 200 vikings and they lived and intermingled with the local natives. We are in the beginning phases and expect much more.

    Nothing really started with the vikings. The scandinavians lived like this for thousands of years.

    they are way more detailed and beautiful than the mainstream gives the vikings credit for. these were very talented craftsmen.

    Vallsgärde and the Uppsala area in Sweden are well worth visiting. Uppsala was the place were the big temple dedicated to the god Frey was situated. Nice video !!!

    Chainmail beard. On a serious note the workmanship of Viking artifacts of this quality always amazes me. I'd say on the same level of craftsmanship as many Japanese blades and fittings (except for a few exceptions). That's just my opinion though.

    its sad that the bloodlines of Vikings are very thin or else these items could've been received by their families of today if they even have any

    I looked at your pictures. It must have cost quite a bit to buy those things back when they were made. They must have been owned by the rich and powerful!

    That shield was massive, the ones used in the vikings TV series are small compared to this one! The level of detail in the swords is mind boggling and the chain mail face covering is something I never knew they used with the helmets. Amazing.

    I’m a swede with a huge interest in early medieval history and have seen some of these helmets live before but the sword with the preserved sheath and rich decorations I have never seen before! It’s awesome! Such a rare find. Thank you so much for this video and the great pictured!
