Vikings: The SHOCKING Lies & The ONE Truth TV Won't Let Go

⚔️ PUT DOWN YOUR HORNED HELMET. 🐍 For decades, TV and movies have sold us a version of Vikings that is 90% fantasy. But buried under all the Hollywood nonsense is a single, shocking truth that is more brutal and fascinating than anything a screenwriter could invent.

On this episode of Pastpulse, we're separating the Viking fact from the pop culture fiction. We're debunking the myths and revealing the one terrifyingly accurate detail that proves sometimes, reality is the best story.

WE'RE RAIDING THE TRUTH:

❌ DEBUNKED: The Horned Helmets - The archaeological truth behind this silly, historically-impossible myth.

❌ DEBUNKED: The Mindless Barbarians - Why Vikings were actually sophisticated traders, explorers, and diplomats (who also loved a good raid).

❌ DEBUNKED: The Dirty Savages - The truth about Viking grooming, with archeological evidence of tweezers, razors, and a reputation for being the "cleanest" people in Europe.

✅ CONFIRMED: The BERSERKERS Were Real - The ONE thing TV got right. We dive into the historical accounts of these feared, trance-like warriors who fought with a frenzied, animalistic fury that terrified their enemies. Were they high on hallucinogens? Suffering from PTSD? We break down the terrifying reality.

This is the ultimate Viking reality check. It's time to trade the cartoon clichés for a story that is, in many ways, even more impressive and intimidating.
