TRUTH !!
Horned helmets were worn by many people around the world, but not, contrary
to the modern myth, the Vikings.
Headpieces mounted with animal horns or replicas were also worn, as in the
Mesolithic Star Carr. These were probably used for religious ceremonial or
ritual purposes. Much of the evidence for these helmets and headpieces comes
from depictions rather than the items themselves.
