Viking Helmets:

A reconstruction of a Spangenhelm-type helm (9th-11th centuries)

The famous Gjermundbu-helm, one of the few authentic Viking Helmets found (Norway, 10th century)

A 10th century sculpture from Sigtuna showing what kind of helmets Viking-warriors used:

 

Pre-Viking Scandinavian helms, found at Vendel and Valsgrde (early 7th century)

This may appear strange to some of you, but I think that the actual helmets the scandinavians wore, such as those shown by Mangudai, are far more interesting then the fantasy helmets made by bad propmen.

helmet is Illyrian, derived from the other traditional type made originally of several sections riveted together. This one dates no earlier than the late 6th century B.C., by which time the method of manufacture had long been assimilated to that of the Corinthian helmet, and so these helmets were also made in one piece. As its type characteristic there are two raised ridges, beaten out in the metal and running along the crown, designed to ward off a blow from the seam in the centre, where in the earliest examples of this type the right and the left halves of the helmet were joined. The three lightly incised lines between the two ridges hark back to the guide lines along which this join had been made in the past. They were retained as part of the traditional appearance of the helmet long after they had ceased to serve a purpose, part perhaps of a magical 'rightness', necessary to satisfy customers, particularly those from beyond the Greek world.

It looks like the bronze helmet that was found in Sindos.

Were the ribs on top of the helmets for decoration, or to help snap a sword or blund object that hit it?

If i'm not completely wrong i think Sindos was a city established by Corinthians from the begining so this makes sense.
