And today the descendants are at the mercy of the Muslims.

Love the books, and love the actors, in particular, Alfred and Uhtred.

Great portrayals.

“With no trees to absorb carbon dioxide, they’re playing a major role in climate change.”

They did it all ON DECK! No below-deck cabins, just out on deck in all weather!

Of course, it was a very warm period of time, but still Atlantic spray is never warm and cozy.

Thanks for posting, Kaslin, you find some great articles!

I recently ran a DNA ancestry test. My family line is all England with a single, paternal grandfather from Denmark (a ship’s captain who married an English girl in South Africa, then moved to New York).

Well, so much for that English, or Anglo, I should say, ancestry — we’re 75% Scandinavian. Them Vikings did more than murder and pillage...

Rolled my eyes at that one too.

1. Iceland is a very small fraction of the land surface of the planet.
2. Much is covered with glaciers, which always preclude the growth of trees (or anything else).
3. When trees grow, they absorb carbon dioxide. When they die and rot, their decay releases that carbon dioxide back into the air, for a net change of ZERO.

Fascinating, terrifying video. Vikings had some serious courage to embark on those voyages.

10 minute video of building a “dragon ship”. They were definitely craftsman who understood the sea.

Totally amazing, what smart people can do without electrical power, much less electronics or computers.

We think we are so smart. We’re not.

And when the power goes out, and the computers, electronics and electrics disappear, who will be smart enough to accomplish such things?

Amazing how the NPC/SJW mentality has invaded so much normal thinking.

Great article. I (regrettably) just finished the final season of Last Kingdom.

Excellent TV series.

We will adapt. The human being is a very adaptive creature.

Sure, as a society we have gotten soft and spoiled. But you would be very surprised how quickly most of us will toughen up and get our act together if ever put to the test.

I've seen it for myself in Marine Boot Camp. I personally saw a group of spoiled and soft civilians transform into United States Marines over a 13 week period on Parris Island during 1981.

I’m afraid if the power went out, much of the world would be toast.

Not many craftsmen anymore.

"Others spoke of omens — great lightning storms, famine, and even dragons — that heralded the coming of the Vikings.”

What, no global warming?

I guess in order to get the article applauded by the right people, they needed to kiss the ring.

State of society, if you don’t think “right” you can’t even hold a job in most places.
