Vikings, Volcanoes, and Sheep: How Geology Rewrites Ancient History

The video explores the settlement history of the Pharaoh Islands, challenging the theory that Vikings were the first settlers. It presents evidence of earlier human presence through geological and environmental studies, including tephra analysis. Discoveries of sheep DNA suggest human activity around 500 CE, predating the Vikings. These findings have broader implications for understanding human migration and environmental impact, offering new methods for archaeological research.
