SOON OUT: The Roots of the Vikings

Who were the first Scandinavians? ? What legacy did they leave behind? Drawing on cutting-edge DNA research, this book delves into the ancient warrior wisdom and rich mythology of Scandinavia. By exploring history through the lens of both Northern peoples and the great catastrophes that shaped them, this journey uncovers profound insights into where we are today - and where we may be headed.

This book is relevant for all descendents of Scandinavians and also the Germanic tribes, such as English, French, Germans, Slavs, including Russians, and also people with Polish, Ukrainian, Baltic, Finnish, Scottish and Irish heritage. Based on the podcast series Wolfgang Wee Uncut, this book explores how geography and several Ragnaröks have shaped Scandinavians and anyone with shared Scandinavian heritage from many time periods before the Viking Age.
