What did the natives do when the vikings showed up?
When viking raiders appeared on the horizon, local people tended to run away as fast and as far as they could. If they had time, they would collect what valuables they had so that they would not fall into viking hands. Some settlements had special fortifications built specifically for hiding inside. The vikings could not break in to harm them and the villagers knew that the raiders would have to leave eventually before real soldiers arrived.
It should be pointed out that not all vikings were raiders. Many traveled far and wide as merchants and colonists. Seeing a viking ship coming was not always something to inspire terror.

How much does a viking long ship cost in viking money?
From what I understand, It would be about $500,000 and alot of time for research. This may not be as much depending on the length of the ship, the amount of people working on the construction, and how wide you intend to make the ship. A very small basic one also is not counted in the $500,000. This is due to the amount of people working it, the research, the methods used, etc etc....
You could make it in alot less money, and if you can get people to volunteer and help cut the trees you intend on using, It could end up being alot cheaper. Most have some professional builders, or shipwrights, in the mix when tackling such a feat.

Did the Vikings brush their teeth?
Not the way we do. They used willow twigs and beech tree twigs to clean the teeth. Actually, they work pretty well because there is a chemical in them that does well when chewed and helps the teeth. There are people today who still use this old method.
They don't need too either, we brought teeth brushing on ourselfs by eating and drinking sugary foods and drinks, bread helps break down plaque. The method above would be reccomended to a peasant and it helped keep their breath fresh. A wife could devorse a man for having bad breath!
