The Early Exploits Of The First Vikings

Published 2020-11-22
Nearly 1,000 years ago, the Vikings left Scandinavia and settled across Europe - giving their name to Normandy along the way - before their Norman descendants seized the English throne at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. But what do we really know about them? By combining expert analysis with compelling drama, 'The Last Journey of the Vikings' (Swedish title: 'Vikingarnas sista resa') tells a new and often surprising story about this complex people.

  • History is so interesting to me. Idk how people think it’s boring. It literally feels like an entirely different world that these people used to love on but it’s the same ground we walk on today. It’s breathtaking when you think about it
  • @robertkahl7765
    This is probably the best documentary I've seen about the vikings. It answered many questions I had concerning social and economic typology prior to the "raids" . Very well done.
  • @jillellis62
    I would love to go back in time to get a glimpse of how these people lived and acted. In all eras... Amazing!
  • My 10 year old is learning about the Vikings at school, so this documentary will come in handy
  • @freudbrahms254
    How do you make documentaries so quick? Your upload rate is so high, I mean your work is cinema quality
  • @JOOLZBRUTNELL
    Best documentary on the Vikings EVER . Thank you so much for sharing with us :)
  • @davidjordahl
    Beautiful! Something I would have in my home or office, for two reasons. One, the design is efficient and not bulky, yet shows plenty of strength to be used very comfortably. And two, it is handmade and not simply a piece of "production." It's more personal, and warm, both in the way it was constructed, and the very warmth of the wood itself! Awesome. Thank you!

    Camera work during the interview segments is really great.
  • Thank you for sharing!😊 It's nice to learn about history around the world!😊👍🏾💯

    In school I got an A* in history mock exam but after taking it as a option for gcse I was told I wasn’t going to be accepted as they thought It was too much work for a student like me (basically thought I wasn’t smart enough and was from a rough working class area) 8 years later I’m still amazed by all facets of history , great judgment by the teachers.
  • I’m SO in love with this channel! I miss the “old” history channel on tv!
  • @jelliepirate
    I hope they upload the other episodes, they’re on Amazon prime but only available in the USA and I don’t want to get a VPN just for three episodes of vaguely factual docu-drama 😅😂 it’s so good though... I need the other episodes!
  • @kerrybruce760

    The emotional detachment from children in their early years would make sense. Graveyards from where I grew up and I have visited around the US, you find that until the early 20th century a lot of people didn't name their child until they reached 2 or 3 years old. Child mortality caused by influenza, typhoid, tetanus, diphtheria, and household accidents, was in some places as high as 60% for children 3 and under.
