As a Norwegian myself, I was actually quite humbled to read the comments 🤣🤣 I know they are not ment to me personally, but I could not help to blush a bit and smile 😅😅
Absolutely they were considered the most beautifully built (both men and women) were noted as being golden angels from Mongolia, the natives in Canada, and All the way to the Mediterranean to the Middle East. All the cultures they encountered were stunned by their stature and otherworldly beauty.
@@Historys_a_Con I think hygiene played a major role, too. Most colonies weren't hygienic and were ignorant to the practice. Better question is was their hygiene based on religious practices and ceremonies or was it researched to find the correlation of hygiene between good hygiene and health
Eh. Fair skin was a common beauty standard everywhere. Blonde hair would be exotic outside of Europe. The men were probably taller and carried more muscle than most of the people they met. I'll say for most people that's enough to be considered hot.
remember that women did not pluck their facial hair that time and no shaving either... so watch hippies photos and see how they looked like. if you have hairy woman fetish - yes they were hot. extremely hot
The vikings are my ancient ancestors I'm proud to know where our family originated from and the kings who ran them . Man. Was in a different way. Of thinking then
Black Pete and Krampus Black painted faces a ancient Germanic custom The Vikings were also old Germanic Pretty sure the vikings also brought fear to their enemies with their appearance
I’d take a Latina, Israeli, Turk or Persian any day over a European. I was stationed in Europe for 10 yrs when I was in the military, I just couldn’t bring myself to date one of them, it just wasn’t my flavor, however I dated the foreign nationals living in Europe, like the Turkish, Arab, Indian & the others I mentioned above. The locals were just too pasty especially in Finland. I also highly doubt any women in the Middle Ages was “hot” it doesn’t matter what land they hailed from, sanitation & grooming just wasn’t a think in Europe until the moors, Arabs & the first iteration of Roman’s came through.

I know for a fact that contemporary Scandinavians, especially Norwegians, look better on average than any other place I have been.
Don’t think many people would disagree with you
I think Ray Charles is your father & Stevie Wonder is your uncle 😂😂😂, the only place you’ve been is likely only 2 towns over🤣

Do you think it’s just their grooming practices? Or is the genetic element more important?
(Tall, fair skinned, blonde haired etc)
@@Historys_a_Con I’m sure it mostly stemmed from rarity cuz rarity equates to beauty.
A Scandinavian Definitely would have been an unusual sight for the rest of the world

It’d be interesting to know where the practice came from. Unfortunately it’d all be speculation I imagine!

The point about the men is covered in some of my other videos. Their diet was exceptionally good by the days standards.

Hard to know if they plucked or shaved 🪒
@@Historys_a_Con we know they didnt. so yeah guess you have some kind of bear fetish
We Northern European women have almost no body hair at all. A little under the arms and a little... yes you understand where. The face, no.
Blonde hair blue eyes...what more could ya ask for?
Upping the baths to daily would definitely help ☝️
A personality...

Our family goes back to 800 to Sweden then Norwy & Denmark

Yeah it definitely would have certainly been intimidating if you had to negotiate with them
A serie won't by a success with only unattractive characters.... I'm sure most weren't very hot whatever gender they had 😂
We’ll never know!
AI is not, in any way ,a real representation of the past...Fail
These are real photos from 700ad?

The Vikings hygiene was particularly good though.
