Vikings were distinct from other civilizations primarily due to their seafaring prowess, raiding culture, and trading networks that spanned across Europe, Asia, and even North America. Their society was marked by a unique blend of Norse mythology, clan-based governance, and a strong warrior ethos. While they shared some commonalities with contemporaneous cultures, such as agricultural practices and social hierarchies, their maritime innovations and exploration set them apart. Overall, the Viking Age represents a unique chapter in history characterized by both violence and vibrant cultural exchange.
