The Viking Sword That Was 1000 Years Ahead of Its Time | Stories to fall asleep to

For centuries, historians believed medieval Europe lacked the technology to produce advanced high-carbon steel. And yet, in Viking graves across Northern Europe, archaeologists discovered something that challenges that belief. Blades stamped with the name +ULFBERH+T. Swords forged with a level of purity and strength that Europe would not reliably reproduce for hundreds of years. In this documentary, we explore: • The mystery of the Ulfberht swords • The science behind their advanced steel • Viking trade routes stretching into the East • The possibility of early medieval “branding” • And why this extraordinary technology vanished Were these blades evidence of lost knowledge? Or proof that the Viking world was far more connected than we imagine? This is the story of a sword that should not exist.
