Vikings didn’t have horns on their helmets but I bet if you showed them a single modern Viking depiction they’d all start doing it like gangsters imitating The Godfather

    I dunno, Norupo is like 65% just folk wisdom from the Vedas

    But yeah the costumes and music would be pretty otherworldly to them

    Also: Vikings were pretty dedicated warrior culture, and horns on helmets are only a gift to the enemy who wants to control you in combat. Same with long braids that they are often depicted with so no, they wouldn’t wear horns in combat

    AFTER, maybe. Vikings were very vain and I can imagine them having a separate ‘party helmet’ where horns would become a display contest
