Step into the world of the Vikings as an extraordinary ship burial discovery in Estonia rewrites history and uncovers secrets of the Viking Age. In this captivating documentary, we explore the remarkable Salme ship burials on the Estonian island of Saaremaa. When construction workers stumbled upon ancient bones in 2008, they unearthed not just one, but two ship graves filled with Viking warriors and grave goods, including the oldest sailboat ever found in the Baltic Sea. These findings challenge everything we thought we knew about the reach, culture, and maritime technology of the Vikings. Journey with us as we reveal how the Viking Age began, why violence and trade were their chief exports, and how Norse society was structured. Learn about the strategic board games like Knefertafel that trained Viking minds, the importance of familial bonds, and the everyday life of Scandinavian settlements. We delve into the role of Estonia as a crossroads for Viking travel, the use of rivers and new sailing technology, and the surprising involvement of local Estonian men in Viking expeditions. The Salme discoveries also raise intriguing questions: What led to these massive burials? Who were these men, and what brought them to Estonia? With insights from archaeologists and historians, plus vivid storytelling, this video brings to life the most significant Viking archaeological find in recent history.
