The First Berserkers: the Bronze Age Koryos

Video Description

The berserker Viking warrior is famous but the tradition can be traced back to the early Bronze Age warband called the koryos. The berserkers fought like madmen, in a trance-like state of fury that struck fear into the hearts of their enemies. But why did they act in this way? And why were they associated with wolves and bears? In this video we travel back thousands of years into the history of Bronze Age Europe and find out why the youths of Indo-European cultures transformed into wolves and other animals during their rites of passage. *Get Godborn exclusively from Audible here* US ➜ https://www.audible.com/pd/Godborn-Audiobook/1774247860 UK ➜ https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Godborn-Audiobook/1774247860 CA ➜ https://www.audible.ca/pd/Godborn-Audiobook/1774247860 AUS ➜ https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Godborn-Audiobook/1774247860 Not on Audible?
