Fascinating Viking Titbits

"Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of the Vikings! These Norse explorers, traders, and warriors from Scandinavia lived over 1,000 years ago. They were famous for their longships, conquests, and mythologies, like tales of Thor and Odin. But they were more than just raiders – they built settlements, traded across Europe, and left a lasting cultural legacy. Let’s explore who they were, how they lived, and why they’re still so intriguing today."
