Its not entirely myth. Mostly Norse priests among them wore headgears with horns in their religious ceremonies. Strangely i read somewhere that Thracians wore helmets with horns too. ------------- A mathematician is a person who thinks that if there are supposed to be three people in a room, but five come out, then two more must enter the room in order for it to be empty. |

The helmets above are the "vikso" helmets. I have an article from the Acta Archaeologia somewhere about them. As for "Viking Age" helmets, I've heard of two: The first is the Gjermundr Helm--I have info on that as well, but for a quick reference see James Grahms-Campbell's "Viking Artefacts: a Select Catalogue" (1980). The second I have read about in passing in "Rus Vikings" (2005) by Duczky. I have no other documentation than that, but apparently it was found in the early 20th century by someone named Sauzon, or something like that (the publication of is from 1903, and is extremely rare in the US Other infromation can be gleaned from representational (pictorical) sources. The Gotland stones. Some carvings. By the Way, what source stated that priest's of the vikings wore horned ceremonial helmets? Adam of Bremin? Mord. ------------- errr...left turn at vinland? |

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. ------------- |

This helmet was produced from a single sheet of metal, requiring a great degree of technical sophistication on the part of the smith. The helmet also has two distinctive raised ridges beaten out of the bronze that run along the crown. This striking feature is derived from earlier examples of the type that were made from seperate sheets of metal that were seamed together. The raised ridges would have protected the central seam from a striking blow. These ridges were retained as part of the design long after they ceased to serve a purpose. A horse hair crest may have run along the ridges. - (LA.511) ------------- |

Propably you are talking about Potidaia, Sindos was established much earlier than the 9th century BC, the original name of it was Echedoros. ------------- Give me a place to stand and I will move the world.

 Perhaps it wasn't the most effective helmet ever, but who can argue with the awesome idea of wearing an entire, full-size, eagle's face. On your HEAD.

 The type Illyrian helmet originated in the Peloponnese and is Greek at 7th century bc the term "illyrian" is conventional just like all terms for helms. Terms such as Illyrian and attic are used in archaeology for convenience to denote a particulat type of helmet and do not imply its origin.
