Actually, Vikings lived in several countries. These notorious sea raiders and explorers hailed from three Scandinavian homelands: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The Danes made their mark in the British Isles and along the coastlines of Europe. The Norwegians sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to reach America. And the Swedes traveled up Russian rivers to reach Constantinople and the Orient.

Historians say the Viking Age began in 793 AD with the raid on Lindisfarne monastery in England, and ended in 1066 AD with the defeat of the Viking king Harald by English king Harold.

I've heard that there are still words which are the same in Hungarian and Finnish. Apparently, there's a sentence that is exactly the same in both languages, and menas exactly the same thing. can you tell me what that sentence looks like (I speak Finnish so I can understand the words).

Vikings developed in Scandinavia from the earlier clan-based cultures that formerly lived there. After raiding Europe, many Vikings brought back ideas that changed their culture, making them more like Europeans. By 1050 AD, Viking culture had undergone significant change, especially the conversion of many to Christianity. Afterwards, the descendants of the Vikings called themselves Norwegians, Danes, Swedes or Scandinavians.

Viking burials often used boats like we use caskets today. For the highest status people, large ships were often buried with the dead. Some Vikings preferred to be cremated. But even then, the ashes were buried with artifacts the dead had used in their life, perhaps because the Vikings believed they could reuse these objects in the next life.

The Vikings were a seafaring people living along the long coast of the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) between 750 and 1050 AD. The term Viking more specifically refers to the part-time warrior/raiders who left their homelands and plundered the riches of France, England and other parts of Europe.

No helmets with horns have ever been found in all of the Viking warrior gear that researchers have found. In fact, Vikings rarely wore helmets at all!

The Vikings played a lot of card and board games, especially during the winter. One of the games Vikings used to play is a board game called Hnefatafl which means "king's board or game" in Old Norse. This chess-like game of strategy simulated a Viking raid and the object of the game was to trap the King's piece.

Until the 1960s, scholars had no evidence other than the sagas that proved Vikings had reached North America. However, the discovery of Viking house foundations and artifacts at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada offers proof that Vikings did, in fact, reach North America 1000 years ago!

There is alot of homegrown and official advice on what you can do to keep deer from eating your plants. There's also lots of things you can buy that claim to repel deer. But, deer will anything if they're hungry enough. You can spend alot of money on repellants. People have mixed results with repellants, which seem to be affected by deer populations and food supply (deer will eat anything if they're hungry enough), to operator error -- oops, forgot to reapply after it rained.

Chris has a younger brother and a sister, Amy and Daniel. Before his mother Sheila moved out, Chris, his parents, his maternal grandmother, and his two siblings all lived together in their trailer, but Chris sometimes slept in an adjacent small trailer they kept on their property. After Sheila moved out, Amy and Daniel stayed with Chris and his father and grandmother. But later, when Sheila left Kentucky, Amy and Daniel went with her.

According to Bruce Lincoln, "At present, the majority opinion among scholars probably inclines toward the end of the second millennium or the beginning of the first, although there are still those who hold for a date in the seventh century." (Death, War, and Sacrifice, 1991, pg 150) Humbach and Ichaporia seem to favor the Xanthos date of 1080 BC but mention the 630 date also. (Heritage, 1994, pg 11). A commonly given date is the seventh century B.C.E.

No. Not even close. The last dinosaurs to roam the earth, including the area that became Texas, became extinct about 66 million years ago. The earliest humans may not have arrived in this area of North America until shortly before 13,500 years ago (11,500 B.C.). Some scientists think humans probably arrived by 15,000 years ago or maybe even as much as 20,000 years ago. This still leaves quite a gap!

Most people picture tipis when they think about Indian homes. Tipis have been around a long time; stone circles dating back several thousand years have been found at various sites on the Plains. Paleoindian peoples, living near the end of the ice age, did not appear to have used tipis. Traces have been found of posts which probably anchored tent frames or similar structures. Caves and rockshelters were also used as homes by various peoples in the past.
