Dr. Zarka answers this question and explores how the draugr, Nordic undead monsters, bear a striking resemblance to the White Walkers—and more importantly, how these monsters connect to the history of Ancient Nordic peoples. The concept of medieval-era and older undead beings fighting and terrifying the living isn’t new; it’s a part of Nordic, particularly Icelandic, history. The Draugr Myth, popularized by games such as Skyrim and God of War, offers insight into the burial practices, religious beliefs, cultural attitudes, and gender roles of Vikings and other Ancient Nordic people. #whitewalkers #zombies #MonstrumPBS Written and Hosted by: Dr. Emily Zarka Director: David Schulte Executive Producer: Amanda Fox Producer: Stephanie Noone Illustrator: Samuel Allen Editor: Sara Roma Produced by Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.
