Synopsis:

The Vikings: The Vikings. Rugged warriors from Scandinavia who built an empire by tyrannising the sea and raiding and pillaging other lands. The era lasted three centuries before fading out, but the legends about them have never been forgotten. Vikings in North America: Before Columbus's epic 1492 voyage to the Americas, it was believed he was beaten by the Vikings. Is this legend true? The Vikings: Voyage to America: Josh Bernstein hits the high seas and takes on the history books, challenging the age-old assumption that Columbus was the first to cross the Atlantic and the first to discover America. According to the Viking sagas, Eric the Red's son Leif Erikson was the first European on the continent. Using the sagas as his guide, Josh makes a grueling 4,000 mile journey from Scandinavia to Iceland to Greenland and then onto the edge of the New World. He's on the hunt for archaeological evidence of the sagas' claims and to prove the Vikings got to America before Columbus.

Experience over four hours of fascinating history that begins in the 8th century when the Scandinavian Vikings mobilized their majestic warships to conquer unknown lands. For the neighboring continents, the invasion from the north came as a complete surprise. The Vikings ravaged, murdered and plundered without mercy and soon set their sights on the major European cities. 300 years later, their advance had led to enormous devastation, but also to trade relations that stretched across the world. A revealing documentary about an enigmatic warrior people, their brutal actions and sudden disappearance. The collection contains four independent documentary films that tell, among other things, about the barbarians' majestic life in the North, their stately warships, the plundering of Europe and the mythical journey to America.
