Barbarians - The Vandals

For More Great Documentaries please visit www.DocuFans.com and support the site

They were the dreaded forces on the fringes of civilization, the bloodthirsty warriors who defied the Roman legions and terrorized the people of Europe. They were the Barbarians, and their names still evoke images of cruelty and chaos. But what do we really know of these legendary warriors?

From the frigid North Sea to the Russian steppes, this ambitious series tells the fascinating stories of four of the most fabled groups of fighters in history, tracing 1,000 years of conquest and adventure through inspired scholarship and some of the most extensive reenactments ever filmed.

Ranging far from their roots in Germany, these power-hungry pagans swept through Spain, then across North Africa, and eventually to the gates of Rome itself.

@astmapiippu thanks for explaining, because i only thought uralic tribes lived in that area.

@metalhealth1980 Some German tribes were living in that part of the world at that time. Slavs came to these parts of Europe later. There were also Finno-ugrian tribes living around Baltic sea.

The Vandals and other Germans were not really that barbaric. Its pretty much Roman propaganda. Huns on the other hand really were brutal just like mongols.

@moraruro Catholocism and Orthodoxy were not created because of the great schism. Thats why it is called a schism they already existed but as one unit. actualy orthodoxy just means the one who is in the right. The actual religion has always been called Catholic. The first written record of the church being called catholic is from the year 106 A.D.

i was always told that the vandals were a Germanic/Scandinavian tribe, but this video said they came from the Baltic sea. can someone explain?

[shortist2003]

Germans are always bad asses.

@gosha2012 My apology. The Berbers predated the Vandals in North Africa.
