little else.

Berbers are indigenous to
North Africa and have played a key role in trade and military history. They
founded the Almoravid and Almohad dynasties, which controlled vast regions of
Spain and Africa. Ever wondered how they influenced the spread of Islam in the
West?

Misunderstood History…
Vikings Didn’t Actually Wear Horned Helmets
Thanks to movies and art, we picture Vikings with terrifying
horned helmets. But archaeologists have never found a real Viking helmet with
horns.
The myth likely started in the 1800s with costume designs for Wagner’s operas.
Actual Viking helmets were simple, made of iron or leather, designed for
protection, not fashion.
The horned helmet image is pure fiction, created long after the Viking Age
ended.
