What Viking Hygiene Was Like

Ойын-сауық

The Vikings - a group of exploring and raiding seafarers from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway - traversed the world from the eighth to the 11th centuries. As warriors, traders, and eventual settlers, the Vikings disrupted the lives of those groups they encountered while simultaneously facilitating cultural exchange and making an impression that was often less than positive. This is how they managed to keep it clean.

    A. You're talking about Feudal Japan here. They weren't exactly noted for refering to anyone but themselves in a glowing light. No matter how bigoted you think _your own_ culture might be, it will never hold a candle to _that_ level of xenophobia and racial ego. B. Their exposures to Westerners were based on a bunch of sailors showing up on their shores. The Yamato people didn't exactly send much in the way of objective explorers out into the world to figure out the rest of the world's hygiene practices. C. Besides the cherry picking over who had the better soap, they developed a quick love for Western fashions learned through visiting traders and ambassadors. They wouldn't have become obsessed with fancy Victorian era suits if they _really_ thought Western culture was filthy.

    I am an interpretive historian who studies the spread of culture and practices, so the Vikings come up a lot in my studies, and I would like to add one point. A large amount of what we know of Viking life comes from Ibn Fadlan, who was a 10th century Muslim. Islamic culture has many regulations around cleanliness, some of which are to never bathe in still water and to never clean oneself with your left hand. The myth of Vikings sharing a communal bathing bowl is likely a facsimile made by Fadlan because he deemed still water to be contaminated (as was briefly covered in the video), but also any actions of cleaning with the left hand (which happened often as many accounts show most Vikings were ambidextrous) would have been discounted as further dirtying to Fadlan.

    That scene had me cringing into the fetal position when I saw! To show disgust to that practice was very offensive to the Vikings! Bathing and passing the bowl like that was a sign of unity, brotherhood which was a very strong concept among them. Bur still disgusting all the same. I believe the Muslim wrote fact...that this was a true practice among them.

    Thank you for this excellent and accurate video on the vikings and their lives. Since most references for vikings that the western world uses, comes from christian Europeans, they get depicted in a very negative, mostly inaccurate way - usually with horns on their helmets (which they didn't have -probably to depict them as devilish), raping, filthy barbarians. There is a lot of actual nordic reference on the vikings, which this video is clearly based on.
