I SPENT MANY HOURS ON THE "NET" TO OBTAIN PICTURES AND HISTORICAL FACTS PERTAINING TO VIKINGS AND THIER CULTURE. I HAVE MET MANY PEOPLE DURING THIS COURSE OF EVENTS, AND CAME ONTO MANY INFORMATIVE SITES.ALOT OF THESE SITES ARE BASED IN ENGLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN AND GERMANY. I WISH I HAD ALL THE SPACE I NEED TO DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT DO THAT. SO WHAT I DECIDED TO DO WAS TO LINK SEVERAL VERY INTERESTING ARTIFACTS PICTURES.THESE LINKS WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THEM ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK YOUR FINGER AND HIT YOUR BACK BUTTON TO HERE AGAIN. FOLLOWING PICTURES LINKS, I SET UP LINKS TO SEVERAL VERY GOOD AND INFORMATIVE SITES IN REGARDS TO VIKING ERA, THEIR CONQUEST AND MIGRATION PERIOD.
I DO NOT EXPECT YOU TO SEE EVERYTHING AT ONCE. BUT BE KIND ENOUGH TO BOOKMARK THEM FOR THOSE DAYS YOU ARE BORED. I ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL FIND SOME VERY INTERESTING READING. THE VIKINGS WERE JUST NOT RAIDERS AND WARMONGERS. THEY WERE EXPLORERS, AND THEY WERE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA LONG BEFORE COLUMBUS. THEY WERE BUIDERS, AND FARMERS, AND HAD THEIR OWN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. THEY LEFT THEIR MARKS ON EUROPE, TO WHICH TODAY CAN STILL BE CREDITED BACK TO THEM. DID YOU KNOW THE DAYS OF THE WEEKS ARE THEIRS?
