Don't worry, mate, the only Swedish music I listen to nowadays are Malaise and Hammerfall... and I'm 75 ( )!

I don't think they ate anyone but they burnt some slave women during the burial of one of their leaders. Sorry to disappoint you

Know they were burning them... BBQ?

Originally posted by MoonWolf Can't remember his name, but it's actually an Arab who is also a great source to our history. He travelled with the Vikings who reached Istanbul (I think) and he wrote down his observations in a neutral way not coloured by religion or culture.

Hvem var det? Jeg tror at det var så i filmen "13 Warriors" men jet tror ikke at det var så i realitet.

Sorry for my horrible Danish. I'm just happy if I see Reykjavik in there somewhere.

They are still called Vikings, but the country name is Scandinavia(just like Egyptians & Egypt, Zulus & Zululand and so on.).

now that defenatly makes more sence. has never been a nation called vikingland, but the people were vikings.

One complain about that as well, considering that there were Vikings outside of Scandinavia as well (e.g. the British Isles and Iceland), but that I wont do.

yes thats true. And in greenland as well, but they were immigrants from mostly Norway anyway, so it`s still allowed to call it scandinavia. though I think everyone that doesn`t live in scandinavia consider Scandinavia to be what we call Norden.
Norden:Norway,sweden,denmark,iceland,finland.
scandinavia:Norway,sweden,denmark

Did you mean my Norwegian or the word "danseband" (=dansemusic gruop for old people)?

Don't make me type that word, my fingers might sustain permanent damage

It's some early type of marine, attacking from a tireme.

I certainly would *not* call it early!

Hei! Selv om islandsk er veldig likt gammel-norsk (norrønt), er nok dansk lettere å forstå ja! Nei, det var nok ikke samme person. Men filmen "13 warriors" har nok tatt litt fra den historiske araberen. Det var i en tegneseriefortelling basert på hans beskrivelser jeg hørte om araberen. Jeg tror ikke han var med som kriger, men bare observerte og skrev ned det han så.

Reykjavik is also in the original viking list I think. I want to visit that place sometime...

you should have Jorvik in the list ( now the city of York in england)
