The wealthy boat graves in Vendel has named the Vendel Period.
The helmets from Vendel (550 AD - 793 AD)
The 3 helmets in this video are dated to the 5-7th century. These helmets were found in ship burials in and near the Vendel churchyard northwest of Uppsala.
The graves were numbered in order of excavation.
Vendel 1 Helm
The grave this helm was found in had many artifacts, such as a sword hilt, scabbard fittings and bridle mounts. The animal and interlaced band ornamentation on the artifacts suggests that they were made in the 6-7th century.
It is possible that this helm shared the same basic sectional construction as the Valsgärde 6, but it is hard to tell since it was found in fragmentary condition.
Vendel 12 Helm
The grave this helm was found in seems to date from the 6-7th century.
Again, it is possible that this helm shared the same basic sectional construction as the Valsgärde 6, but it is hard to tell since it was found in fragmentary condition.
Vendel 14 Helm
The grave this helm was found in is thought to dated to the 5-6 th century.
The helm had the standard crested helm frame with shallow concavities on the brow band forming part of the eyeholes. The gaps were filled in with two plates, one sub-rectangular and one sub-triangular. However, the helm did not have the standard ocular. Instead the cheek piece had a double curved profile to the front edge -- the top curve extended out to almost meet the nasal forming eyeholes, the lower ends extended and curved out to meet under/across the chin. This provided very effective face protection. Hinged metal strips hung from the brow band to protect the back and sides of the neck.
Music: Manowar - Glory. Majesty. Unity
Two steps from hell - Icarus (Skyworld)

An extraordinary splendour recreated. It is like a king´s helmet or crown.
Well these helmets from the Vendel era are truly amazing and according to me its maby the most epic helmets ever made.
Cheers from Södermanland :-)
BEAUTIFUL HELMETS. IT CROSSED MY MIND THAT 1600 YEARS AGO MY ANCESTORS WOULD KILL TO GET ONE OF THOSE.
FORTUNATELY NOW I CAN BUY A REPLICA FOR PEANUTS.
HAVE FUN AND TAKE CARE GARE
This should be sent to the people who say that Vikings didn’t wear helmets
Agreed, and even if these were pre-viking age helmets, there are still a number of viking age helmet fragments, including the complete norwegian Gjermundbu helmet.
Convenient combining of video and audio, amazing artifacts and atmospheric music, reproducing the atmosphere of those times. BTW, I'd heard Manowar for long time, even their first album had some Viking's theme.
Thanks that you like my uploads :-)
I dident actually know that the helmet from Sutton Hoo was designed as to amplify the wearer's voice & give it a more commanding & awesome resonance?
Intresting facts there.

Is there any big difference between the Vendel age and the Viking age?
Underbar video, utan tvekan de vackraste hjälmarna man sett.
Yeah there is that infact and that is that the detailed epic helmets like these ones hasent been found from the Viking age.

Skål ifrån Sverige
Well I dont think so becuase the helmets was found in the burials, so they were probably very personal objects.
Cheers
Ja det är verkligen episka hjälmar. Ja hjälmen som fanns i grav 14 i Vendel har starka Romerska drag och man kan väll kanske misstänka att personen som hjälmen tillhörde hade tjänst gjort i den Romerska armén.
Det har hittats gravar i Sverige redan ifrån runt 150 ekr som pekar på att dessa krigare har tjänst gjort i den Romerska armén redan då.
It has been said that Oden and his guards Tor and Frej probably landed on the Onsala peninsula and may be some of the tribe also landed on the Bokenäs peninsula and their tribe was called the ASARS which later was called the ASA gods and Eddan told they came from ASIA south of the Ural mountains. Scientists have followed the names of the ASARS and it seems as if they tried to take hold of the geatic areas and came to the karst mountain Kinnekulle at lake Van which means the ASA kin became the owners of that mountain which became the most holy of the west geatic karst mountains who all are seen as holy for the geats and ASA gods. There were fights against the svears who were commanded by queens why their northern land was called Kvänland ( Queensland ). There are suggesstions that ostrogots returned to Gotaland during the time when the hunner invasion took place and the name Hunneberg goes back to that event. Oden had two wise Ravens and he had one blind eye like Attila. These vendel helmets are looking like the west geatic helmet in Sutton Hoo and the vendel people are likely to be west geatic ( may be ASA made ).
@ Birka...
Vendel is a strange name. The name itself is associated with the "Winithos"/Wends or "Wandalos"/Vandals... It can mean both Slavs or Vandals depending on how you look at it.
What is the Swedish interpretation on the origins of these people? Are they the native Swedes? I already know what google has to say about it... Something in-between the Migration Age and the Viking Age.

Getwulf: Well hard to say but it would be very logic if the name deraves from the Vanir gods since Yngvi-Freyr are said to have lived near this area.
@ Birka...
Well yes... They look original to me. The "horn wearing men" motifs on the helmets are somewhat indicative of the Nordic Bronze Age. I don't know too much about this subject though.
Do you think that people from the Bronze Age in Sweden have some kinship to the "bog bodies" from ancient Denmark? I haven't seen anyone mention such a thing. In fact, the Danes are mostly left out when it comes to ancient Scandinavia. I know Sweden, Denmark and Norway don't really get along all that well since the Kalmar Union.
Getwulf: In the Nordic bronze age its the same type of culture in Sweden, Denmark, Norway plus some in the Baltic countrys and north Germany.
@ Birka...
Hmmm... Well thank you for the reply.
After examining the Norse, I think that I'm starting to piece it all together.
My hypothesis regarding the relationship between the Norse and the Goths is as follows...
The Danes/inheritors of the Nordic Bronze Age/bog burial culture... are actually the ancestors of the Dacians! These "Suebian knot" wearers/"Dacians" reach southern Europe/what is today Romania around 50 BC and take over some of the lands of the Getae. It should be noted that there were previous trade relationships between the two cultures. I don't know what prompted their migration or if it was even an invasion.
Dacians/Danes and Getae co-exist until about 107 AD, then the Daco-Roman wars end and the Dacians are subjugated to Rome but not the Getae who are pushed in to the east.
The Getae seem to have an alliance of sorts with Rome and the Romans pay them an annual stipend. Then somewhere in the later part of the 3rd C AD relationships with Rome decline and the Getae start to become known as Goths or as we would know them later... and so on etc...
Jordanes writing in the 6th C. AD speaks about the Gothic migration from the north and calls them Getae. Everyone says that he is confused and that Goths have nothing to do with Getae. I think that it is pretty clear that he is in fact referring to the migration of the Dacians from the north and the symbiosis that forms between the Getae and the Dacians/Danes. With time we see the emergence of Goths in Scandinavia and the north... In reality, these are "Dacians/Danes"/Vikings who are culturally changed by their interactions with southern Europe and the Getae and have probably taken the "Goth" name north with them.
Then at around the same time that Jordanes was writing the Getica we have the appearance of the Vendel Age (and obviously later the Viking Age) in Scandinavia. Jordanes may have known about early developments in the Vendel Age as well and might have worked that into the Getica.
What do you think...?
those old funny viking helmets ---i think they found like 2 or something
that's a myth!
but---these helets i have no idea about--watching the video!
