10 things you did not know about Vikings. A comprehensive video about these mythical warrior people who are more popular than ever. Do you think they were bloodthirsty, hairy murderers who just could rob, rape and set fire to the towns they came to? Be prepared to change your mind!
In this video you will meet an enthusiastic Viking expert and archaeologist eager to kill the myths from the tourists outside the Viking Ship Museum. The specialist provides startling new insights about Vikings – while she crushes myths like a barbarian. We walk through the amazing Viking Museum with the biggest Viking ships ever found, and take a close look at important details that gives us a new and different understanding of this very modern and interesting warrior tribe from Scandinavia.
Did you know that the Vikings were tech savvy nerds who changed the world through their impressive innovations? Did you know that the Vikings were sensitive artists who loved to smoke pot? Did you know that the Vikings were vain hipsters who plucked eyebrows and dressed up before going into battle? Did you know that the Vikings gave rise to today’s chat and SMS language?
In this video, we meet people from France, Brazil, South Korea, England and Norway and get to know what kind of misconceptions they have when it comes to Vikings – representing all of us in a way.
Mads Nilsson and Ronald Sagatun made this Video. But we could not have done it without help.
First and foremost, we must thank Ellen Marie Næss. She is the star of this video and her communication joy infects all. Together with Augusto Perez and the guard at the Viking Ship Museum they made it possible for us to make this video.
Then we must thank everyone we talked to outside the museum. You give our story energy and authenticity. Big shout out to you guys!
