During the hunter's stone age, the cold of the ice sheet was succeeded by a multi-thousand-year heatwave. Both pelicans and marsh turtles thrived. The Swedish natives formed a strange ancient culture, which the new archaeology has largely reassessed. There was peace and equality, famine was rare thanks to birth control and a great deal of natural knowledge.

Agriculture and metal technology are two inventions that revolutionized two antiquities eras, the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. The first farmer's time was a time of unrest. One in 10 people faced a violent death. The population grew and the history of diseases began, including tuberculosis. Alcohol came to the Nordic countries and the Bronze Age chief marked his power and wealth in vast tomb constructions.

Iron Age Swedes were presented by ancient scholars as a people with horse feet and giant ears. In the last part of antiquity, life in the villages, where indoors in winter it was only twelve degrees warm, is told about moss-like and ancient castles. Unique pictures show our first trade centre Helgö and our first city, Birka. The Asa gods and the Uppsala Temple lose the fight against Christianity.
