The I'm not you know, I'm a lot of

you know Hello and welcome to the history of Vikings.

This month, September of 2020, the largest ever study of Viking genetics

was published. This new report has revealed fascinating details about who the Vikings were,

including some effects of their vast trading networks and seafaring expeditions. If you've been on social media recently,

you'll probably know that this study has gone viral across the internet. For this reason,

I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore on the podcast. Joining me to discuss the

recent Viking Genetics Study, and additionally,

Viking Age Burials, is Dr. Sorin Sindbek, professor of archaeology at Arhus University

in Denmark. Before we get into my conversation with Soren, I want to tell you that we've recently partnered
