The Mysterious Horned Helmets of Bronze Age Europe

Horned Helmets of the Bronze Age. Figures wearing horned helmets are depicted in Scandinavian rock art, on stelae in the Iberian Peninsula, and menhirs on Corsica. And horned helmets feature on statuettes from Zealand, Sardinia, and Cyprus, on wall decorations of the Sea People on reliefs in Egypt before the Bronze Age collapse, and on the Mycenaean Warrior Vase. Clearly, horned helmets were widely distributed during this period of the Bronze Age. But why? What do they mean? And are they connected in some way? In this video we’re taking an epic voyage through the European Bronze Age in the 12th century BC from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula and across the Mediterranean to the east in search of the horned helmets of traders, warriors, kings, and gods. *If you enjoy my videos please consider supporting the channel* Patreon ➜ PayPal ➜ Ko-fi ➜ *My Books* Godborn: Gods of Bronze 1 ➜ All my books on Amazon ➜ *My Links* Website Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: *Video Sources* The Rise of Bronze Age Society by Kristiansen & Larsson ➜ Protecting the Body in War and Combat by Marianne Mödlinger ➜ Globalization, Battlefields & Economics by Helle Vandkilde ➜ Bronze Age Voyaging and Cosmologies in the Making - Helle Vandkilde The above links include affiliate links which means we will earn a small commission from your purchases at no additional cost to you which is a way to support the channel. *Video Chapters* 00:00 Horned Helmets 0:54 The Veksø helmets 03:36 The Horse Twins and Twin Chiefs of the Nordic Bronze Age 04:47 Horned Chiefs in Scandinavian Rock Art 05:46 Bronze Age Rock Art of Galicia 07:31 Iberian Warrior Stelae 08:47 Bronze Figurines of the Nuragic Civilization 11:15 Sea Peoples Images at Medinet Habu 13:16 Horned Helmets of the Near East 14:26 Bronze Figurines from Enkomi 15:36 Bull Iconography of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece 16:06 Horns at Dendra and the Mycenaean Warrior Vase 17:08 Central European Trade Links 18:25 The Meanings Behind Horned Helmets 21:39 Interconnectivity in the Bronze Age
