In which John Green teaches you about Vikings! That's right, one of our most requested subjects, the Vikings, right here on Crash Course. So what's the deal with Vikings? Well, the stuff you've heard about them may not be true. The Vikings weren't ju...st pagan raiders striking terror into the hearts of defenseless European Christendom. They were some of the greatest travelers of their time, and they weren't always traveling to steal. In a lot of cases, they were traveling to trade. John will teach you about Viking trade goods, Norse Mythology, and yes, there will be blood, guts, and dragons. OK? (11:17)

The Vikings of ancient Scandinavia have a reputation in history for being brutish, blood-thirsty warriors, travelling across oceans in their ingeniously designed longships to either hunt or plunder. Or, at least that’s what most would expect. The Vik...ings were traders, adventurers, farmers, and, overall. were devoted to their gods. But there is so much more about these seafarers, from the rights of Viking women to their exceptionally strange tales of mythology. These are 10 things you probably didn’t know about the Vikings.

Popular, modern conceptions of the Vikings—the term frequently applied casually to their modern descendants and the inhabitants of modern Scandinavia—often strongly differ from the complex picture that emerges from archaeology and historical sources.... A romanticized picture of Vikings as noble savages began to emerge in the 18th century; this developed and became widely propagated during the 19th-century Viking revival.[4][5] Perceived views of the Vikings as alternatively violent, piratical heathens or as intrepid adventurers owe much to conflicting varieties of the modern Viking myth that had taken shape by the early 20th century. Current popular representations of the Vikings are typically based on cultural clichés and stereotypes, complicating modern appreciation of the Viking legacy. (47:47)
