The long ship was what the Vikings used to sail over seas to other regions along the coasts. With all the rows, it was a very fast powerful ship, it's shape allowing quick easy movement across the water.
This is the typical home of a Viking. They're usually one to two roomed huts with wooden frames. Not much furniture would be found in them, perhaps only a table, stools and a chest for clothing. If you were of the richest class, you might even have a chair in your possession, but otherwise the homes were very empty. They had a hole in the roof where smoke would filted out from the cooking.
This is a piece of armor that the Vikings used during their raid. This particular item, the helmet, had protective strips going down the neck and shieling the face as well to help guard soft spots.
This is a drinking horn. Vikings would hollow an animals tusk or horn out, and it became a mug of sorts for them to drink out of.
This is the map of the world, showing Scandinavia, such a small place, a little ways away from greenland.
The typical viking man: Burly and rugged and in a stance that showed just how ready for battle he was.
The viking women: The very ones the men come back home to, the ones who dedicatingy do their job with the food and cleaning and farming. Busy ladies who could definitly live independant lives if the need came.
