Subject: RE: BS: the new Worst movie of ALL time From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jun 13 - 12:57 PM Yeah, that's hilariously fake looking. Despite the marketing, Vikings apparently did not wear horns on their helmets. From an article on the subject: "If Viking warriors didn't wear winged or horned helmets in battle, what did they wear? Many probably didn't wear helmets at all. Writing about seven centuries before the Viking era, the Roman historian Tacitus says most Germans didn't. But we needn't take his word for it. Contemporary Viking era artwork shows roughly half of Vikings in battle bareheaded, while the rest wear unremarkable dome-shaped or conical helmets. Few helmets have survived from the Viking Age, probably because the rank-and-file wore leather helmets that didn't last. The few metal ones that have been discovered presumably belonged to the richest Vikings. Some are iron "spectacle" helmets, so called because they have bronze eye-and-nose guards that look a bit like a pair of glasses except that there's nothing at all nerdy about them. I'm willing to bet that anybody who called their wearers "four-eyes" was soon made to see the light--or stars." |

Subject: RE: BS: the new Worst movie of ALL time From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Jun 13 - 01:06 PM The thing is, wearing horns or other large and solid protuberances on a helmet is a very bad idea in a battle. It gives people something to grab onto and pull you off balance. It provides an inconvenient surface for a sword or other weapon to strike and wrench your kneck out of joint with the impact or knock the helmet off your head. It's one hell of a bad idea, and it would have been a stupid thing to have on a helmet in a battle. Archaelogists think that the few horned and winged helmets found were probably ceremonial gear rather than equipment meant to be worn in battle. |
