    What we call the Viking Age persisted from approximately 800 to 1150 AD.
    They lived among the villages of Scandinavia, as well as modern Norway, Sweden
    and Denmark. From here they traveled great distances, primarily by sea and river -
    as far as North America to the west, Russia to the east, Finland to the north, and
    North Africa and Iraq to the south. They were skilled craftsmen and boat-builders,
    adventurous explorers and wide-ranging traders. This extension during the Viking
    Age took the form of warfare, exploration, settlement, and trade. These Vikings were
    world- renowned raiders.

    With what we know of the Vikings being a vast developing culture Ive
    noticed they still lived strongly towards their own ways to their culture. This
    includes their Mythology, Food, and their ways of transportation (longship).
    Mythology, like in most cultures, is an important fundamental of the Vikings.
    Unexpectedly, when reading, it turns out Norse mythology is on the level of those of
    Greek and Roman. This is because of one, Thor, and two, the help of Marvel. Viking
    cuisine is also a core part of their culture. Feasts were very common among this
    label. I found out that the Vikings were the first group to celebrate after the
    successful battles and raids. Guess what they did, they feasted of course. Last but not
    least, the distinguished longship of the Vikings. The Vikings wouldnt be the Vikings
    without this ship. It was their way to travel to coastline villages to complete their
    raids. It is what defines them as the Vikings. I also included postcards from the time
    I had while visiting these lands of the Vikings.

    With all the information I have learned about the Vikings, it almost feels as if
    I have actually learned from a Viking himself, furthermore to as if I actually lived
    during the Viking age. However, I fell I wouldnt survive during this age. It seems to
    be much too dangerous for a young boy. I say this because boys, at the age of
    fourteen, enter the fleet as a Viking warrior. One question, that I am still unable to
    find an answer to, lingers in my mind. It is, did the Vikings actually wear horned
    helmets or is just an exaggeration? Hopefully one day I will find a satisfied answer
    to my question. Other than that, no more questions appeared and I enjoyed my time
    learning the ways of the Vikings.
