Maybe Phoenicians? Sea-fairing, worshiped Baal (often depicted with horns), ships look pretty similar.
Check this out...
"Viking society only developed in the 9th century C.E., and there is no sign that Vikings really wore horned helmets."
They mention Sardinia a few times in the article, but I don't know if that is where the horned helmets actually came from...I still think Tyre and Phoenicia would be a good bet.
I skimmed the article but got the gist...you might want to give it a closer look.
Edit: They say the helmets are from the "Near East" but I don't think they specify.
Oh wait..."The motif likely reached Europe from the East thanks to Phoenician travelers from the eastern Mediterranean coastal area, reports Sana Noor Haq for CNN."
See, this is why I should read articles more thoroughly.

Starts at like the 2:50 mark.
I think it's a bit deeper than drugs. Probably raised in occult culture.
I was in Mensa back in the day, and on a lark I went to a young single Mensans event.
A woman held them at a bar right on or around DuPont Circle in DC. In fact, I believe she lived above the bar.
That lady was a cryptographer, and had spider in her email address. Possibly NSA or something along those lines. Anyhow, she was like way older than everyone else. A little creepy if ya ask me,...I don't know if I would consider 45 or so "young". Everyone else was under 30, and almost everyone 25 or younger.
I've seen Phish a few times. More than a few actually.
And since my brother is a fan, heard a fair amount of their live shows online.
One really intriguing one was Madison Square Garden, 12/30/1997, where Trey played a version of the song "Harpua" that was called the "Pentagram Harpua".
He tells a LONG story during the song about how a line of synchronicities led him to stealing various (and odd) pieces of food and placing them on a pentagram in the woods (to feed a demon I believe).
My brother laughed that story off. I found it fairly profound, but not in a good way. I would say that I found it interesting because I never thought about occultists getting synchronicities too (not that Trey is one, but that story was VERY questionable).
Not only that, but they have a guest singer on after that story, and he and Trey do the song 500 Miles, and they say "Hannibal Lecter" during the chorus.
Just goofy all around.
Funnily enough, the dude that made me think about the situation more deeply was Frederick Douglass. In fact, upon looking into it more, one of his famous quotes was, "I would unite with anyone to do right and with nobody to do wrong."
I had a friend in high school from Nigeria. Let's just say he didn't fit in well at my school. He played basketball but couldn't jump, he was too "ethnic" for most blacks at my school, and so on. Super nice guy. We played on some terrible basketball teams together. But he wore ankle weights for like a year straight until he could dunk. It was crazy.
We're still friends, and he runs a charity that literally drives around feeding homeless people at night. Doing something like that takes some real cajones. He even posts videos so people can see what the people and situations are actually like in some areas.
By comparison, there was this one dude on the track and cross-country teams that was black and "proper" (like preppie type dresser), fairly smart and all, but always rubbed me the wrong way. Almost never talked to him.
Turns out, he practiced track because he was a long-time drug runner. Had oodles of guns, was in multiple gangs, you name it. Even had an AK-47 LOL. This was a private school I went to, btw. Shitty, but private. Like $3000 a year when I started there LOL. It's like $18000 now, and I ain't that old.
Unfortunately for me, out of sheer boredom, I mainly hung out with the "shenanigans" crowd. It was hard for me to fault people that generally just want to have fun. Not always the best or smartest people though. But it gets REAL easy to sense people who have generally good intentions from those that don't.
Within a span of a week and a half, my mom's friend had his car stolen directly in front of her house, and the real funny one is that a contractor fitting screen doors for my mom had his side mirror completely shattered by a dude who sped off. He was there for like 20 minutes. Even he reckoned that he should have tucked his side mirror in though; that street is really narrow.
I myself was both carjacked and held up at gunpoint on two separate occasions.
After a rash of murders on the street, police put in one of those mobile "blue light specials" (bright blue lights and I'm pretty sure cameras) which do absolutely nothing to deter crime...in fact it was only like 15 feet away from the aforementioned car theft.
And honestly, glownigger (who might really be a FED) and I had a nice conversation about BLAME.
HE claimed that Jews brought blacks here as slaves and to create dissent, but still blames black people for their crime and such and said they should all be deported back to Africa.
I'm of the opinion that if you pack people like sardines into a city, and then take away all the industry, of course things are going to devolve.
I would like to point out that glownigger, in the midst of our conversation about blacks and the slave trade, dared me to live in Baltimore for a year. I've lived in Baltimore my whole life except grad school. When I told him that, he called me a Jew multiple times and even ended the conversation spouting Yiddish. Talk about bizarre.
I'd also like to point out that crime wasn't rampant in Baltimore until Nancy Pelosi's father took over. His son also had the reins for a while. Is crime going to get better when mafioso are in charge?
A guy in the worldnews sub of Reddit slipped in an interesting post (and even with good comments) about the Scythe missiles in Ukraine and how they relate to the ancient Scythians. His comments were decidely conspiracy-related in nature, but well disguised.
Well, the post is deleted, and the dude's comments are gone, but essentially the Scythians were marauders and were also instrumental in the formation of the Silk Road.
Part of the grand lie is hiding the worst of it, and by that I mean genocide, trafficking, etc. Treating other humans as inferior to yourself, one way or another. Talk to virtually any Satanist...they all have superiority complexes. It's all directly related.
I think so many become or just are Satanists because they live a life based on compounded lies, so may as well devote yourself to it. Zelensky is the perfect example.
I'm also old enough to remember when we had an actor was president, who was, like Kevin McCarthy, a Bohemian Grove attendee.
So many are very poor liars, too. Zelensky is totally unbelievable. But they tried I guess.
Holocaust denial is the only OPINION that can get you in jail (in some countries).
Yeah, that was stunningly mind-blowing and dumb. Just point arrows at how phony it is.
Here's a good one...I was talking to a Jewish person on Reddit, who stated that Hitler wanted to "exterminate all the Jews". I brought up the Haavara Agreement, where Hitler willingly agreed with sending the rich Jews with their possessions to Palestine. There wouldn't be Israel without Hitler's assistance. I further stated that if Nazis want to kill all the Jews, the Azov Battalion should just kill Zelensky.
The first sentence of his reply was, "What you are doing is immoral."
Wow, you really are a loser.
Bad faith? You can't name a time he prophesied. Why lie?
Then, you just attack me, because why not? You've got nothing better.
Oh, my account time is in the same number of years, wow. That's like, super astute.
No, you stated the prophet thing and "loss and madness" in his words, which there isn't.
Stating definitions and making some rather shrewd observations doesn't sound like "loss" or "madness".
Now where did he make prophecies or try to lead people astray, religion-wise?
I never upvote or downvote.
That's the dumbest request ever.
Like I said, hot garbage.
