Скачать или смотреть Archaeologists Found Viking Expansion Evidence Linking Baghdad To Vinland

Farmers, traders, and warriors from the North transformed three continents through naval mastery, tactical brilliance, and relentless ambition that reshaped the medieval world in ways historians are still uncovering. Between 793 and 1066 AD, Scandinavian seafarers didn't just raid—they rewired political boundaries, forged economic empires, and left genetic fingerprints across cultures from Baghdad to North America.

This documentary explores Viking Expansion Exploration, Warfare, Settlements, Trade Networks, and Cultural Influence through the lens of recent archaeological breakthroughs and primary sources. Environmental pressures in Scandinavia combined with revolutionary shipbuilding created the perfect conditions for an explosion outward. From the shock of Lindisfarne to Leif Erikson's landfall in Vinland five centuries before Columbus, from the establishment of the Danelaw to Dublin's founding as Ireland's first true city, Norse expansion connected distant worlds. Swedish Rus traders navigated river routes to Constantinople while others crossed the North Atlantic into uncharted waters. Excavations at L'Anse aux Meadows, Coppergate in York, and silver hoards across Scandinavia continue revealing sophisticated urban planners, lawmakers, and merchants alongside the warriors of legend.
