Na Lochlannaich/The Vikings

Travel back to Viking times with Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters. The series brings history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.

The Vikings sailed from Scandinavia to just about every corner of the known world. Their boats were sleek enough to travel quickly across vast oceans, strong enough to withstand rough seas and had shallow bottoms which made it easier to land on beaches. The History Hunters' first challenge is to use Viking techniques to create an oared longship from a milk carton. They were known as fearless pirates, but the Vikings also had a much softer side - they were well-groomed and loved bling. Learn how to construct a solar-powered compass to help search for Viking treasure and find out if the Vikings really wore horned helmets!
