A humorous look at the Vikings, from daily life to exploring and pillaging.

Take a romp into the past and meet the dudes who made history happen.

Thousands of years ago, a mighty civilisation flourished on the banks of the River Nile. Its people built incredible pyramids and temples, worshipped their kings and queens as gods, and used tortoise brains as a cure for eyesight problems.

Come face-to-face with a wig maker who reveals the bald truth about hairstyles, visit a gang of tomb raiders who’ll show how they stole incredible treasures and join troublemaking Pharaoh Akhenaten who explains why he tried to change everyone’s religion.

Take a romp into the past and meet the dudes who made history happen.

Roaring in from Scandinavia to burn, pillage and generally cause a whole heap of trouble, the Vikings terrorized Europe for hundreds of years. But they weren’t all bad: Viking dudes were superb seafarers, played football, got to America way before Columbus and didn’t wear horns in their helmets.

Read interviews and profiles of Bjorn the Beserk and Harald the Shaggy (who refused to cut his hair), let a Viking woman show you round her tastefully decorated longhouse and come face to face with the fearsome snake killer, Ragnar Hairy Breeks.
