Based on “Vikings” on the History Channel, I’m wondering if they will have that annual human sacrifice.

they are similarly “spiritually” bent...but thankfully they dont seem to officially adhere to beheadings and the like...at least not in the 21st century

Blot blood rites varied, often horsies and pigs but...
the Danish version on Zealand, at least, reportedly included 99 human sacrifices

....

progress?

Bloody Vikings!

They probably pillaged a few of my ancestors’ villages, and thus, the blue-eyed Inuit!

LOL.
