In this one-time class, your learners will study the Scandinavian origins of the medieval civilisation known as the Vikings, and their expansion through Europe, parts of Asia, North America and the Atlantic, through the evidence gathered by archaeologists, historians, and other scientists. We will examine the myths and legends regarding the Vikings, as well as the scientific debates about who they really were, i.e. were they just raiders, or did they also integrate into the societies that they "visited?" They disappeared into obscurity just as quickly as they spontaneously appeared during the Bronze and Iron Ages. The mystery surrounding the Vikings and their elusive origins makes for a fascinating historical study. No prior knowledge is required to take this class. I always teach the class, even if there is only one learner enrolled, so please do not worry about the cancellation of my classes if you should receive an automated email from Outschool stating that the class might be canceled if enrolment is too low.
Learning Goals
Learners will improve their understanding with regard to this medieval society, and how and where their genetics are still present today.Other Details
