Why Viking Helmets Are a Lie?? (And What They Actually Wore??)

No horns. No helmet, even. Here's what being a Viking warrior actually meant - and it's stranger and harder than the movies ever showed you. In this video we break down the real gear, training, and tactics of Viking-age warriors: the myth of the horned helmet (and where it actually came from), why most raiders couldn't afford armor, how boys trained for combat from age seven, the shield wall tactics that really won battles, the truth about berserkers, and the uncomfortable economics behind raids like Lindisfarne in 793.
