Episode 3: Iron Age
December 2, 1985 • 156 min
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.
