  • For nearly 500 years the Norse people dominated the oceans, known by their remarkable ships and known for their death, destruction and burning down of anything in their way. They used sophisticated navigation methods and navigated safely over remarkably long distances.

    What is like to be raided by vikings? I don't know. This video has nothing to offer in this regard. However if you're interested in old videos renamed it was great.

    good documentary but the title is misleading as it has nothing to say about what it was like to be raided by the vikings.
    as for how much of North America he explored i don't think they went any farther than the southern bank of the St Lawrence River. from what i understand they loved to take their longships upriver and why risk the open sea when there was a spectacular river to explore right by l'Anse aux Medeadows

    I don't know when this documentary was made I visited this museum this very summer and is a bigger and nicer place, besides the building where the recovered Viking ships are they have a big yard with different things with some learning purpose like a small workshop for kids as well as a real workshop where you can see the tools and current work of the museum researchers, you can board on a warship replica made with the Viking construction techniques (maybe is the one they are building in the doc? :O) as well as trading ships and small boat replicas a really cool experience for those who like ships and Viking history. The Museum is near Copenhagen in Roskilde IDk like 30min.

    I agree with Gunnar Eggertsson that, for the purposes of exploration, the Norse traveled further south than the settlement of L'Anse Aux Meadows. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Scandinavian Vikings traveled and explored pretty much everywhere that their ships could reach. All over Europe, deep into what is now Russia, through the Middle East, all around the Mediterranean and Africa, to the edges of Asia, they went everywhere. I don't see them just reaching Newfoundland and sitting there. They would have realized, just by their encounters with the indigenous Americans that they met, that they had reached a new land that no Europeans had ever been to. I think they would have been aching to explore further, and the natural course to set would have been south along the eastern seaboard. He went on to say he believed they might have ventured as far as Florida, and perhaps even into the Gulf of Mexico. Their ships were certainly capable of such voyages, and I agree with him there too.

      I think she used the wrong words, I think she meant out of convenience and preservation not lack of curiosity. I agree is more likely than not that they kept going down but I understand her point because it was a super hard and short life they lived, and those travels were very costly in resources, ships, and human lives, therefore they would find the first place worth exploring and if it was somewhat comfortable and safe they will settle to create a community, grow some crops and fruits, raise their children and go back to trade with Greenland and Iceland. That would be so time-consuming that they wouldn't have energy for the next risky journey further down even more so if they realized they had a big if not a lost battle to fight for the land and resources with the native Americans. I think that's what she meant.

    Downvoted for saying Vikings and Scandinavians aren't tied to a single ethnic identity. Saying there were non-Scandinavians who were Vikings therefore this isn't an ethnic identity of a common people to the exclusion of others is like saying there were Frenchmen in London therefore the English don't exist and the French don't either. It's always one race's identity targeted and deconstructed, replaced or just erased. The Scandinavians, for which I don't belong, have always shared this identity until not because it's literally being brainwashed out of them as it is with all other peoples from Europe whether there or diaspora.

    This really wasn't about what it was like to be raided by the Vikings. My grandparents came from Sweden and i always wonder if some of my ancestors went viking and raided my ancestors from England and Germany and if they had children with them. Is there a way to see if you have DNA of people who went viking? My uncle has done extensive family history research and my great ( how ever many greats) grandfather, Cardinal Henry Beaufort, was the son of King Edward the 3rd. Henry was said to have had an illegitimate child with a woman and I'm the grandchild of Henry. From what ive read about King Edward the 3rd, a very large portion of the population is descendant from him
