Why did the vikings wear horned helmets?

They didn't. Well, at least not in battle. A horned helmet might LOOK good, but the horns would make it real easy to knock the helmet off. And if you had it strapped on tight, a good strike would either knock the horn off, or break your neck. Horned headgear might have been used in rituals for some sort of symbolic value though.

What do ancient vikings warriors wear?

Many probably didn't wear helmets at all. Artwork from that era shows roughly half of Vikings in battle bareheaded, while the rest wear unremarkable dome-shaped or conical helmets. Low class or poor vikings wore leather helmets that didn't last. A few metal ones have been included iron "spectacle" helmets, so called because they have bronze eye-and-nose guards that look a bit like a pair of glasses. In general a viking owned only a pound or two of iron fo r his weapons and armor, so equipment was a t a minimum. One thing that they did not wear was a helmet with eagle wings or cows horns. That affectation is reserved for opera vikings and cheesy movies made on a tight budget.
