Vikings

He had two brothers, Thorvald and Thorsteinn.

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.

The Normans were in descendant of the Vikings and lent their names to the region in North France named Normandy. The Duchy of Normandy started in 911.

They called it "Bretland". I do not know why.

Rape, pillage, and destroy priceless records and artifacts, sell prisoners as slaves, loot, and loot Saints tombs, and they slaughtered monks, men, women, and children.

No modern technology but they did use the log under and pull rope technique.

Vikings used the most advanced naval equipment of the day, the viking longship. It was capable of ocean going and had shallow enough draft to be able to sail up waterway.

For fishing the Vikings used next to catch fish, along the coast fish was a major portion of their diet. The Vikings used several weapons for hunting such as spears, bows and arrows, and sling shots.

Blacksmiths are the people that made weapons. They worked with iron. Viking blacksmiths even worked with bundles of iron, using them together to create a one of a kind piece of weaponry. These swords were most often held with one hand, making the other hand free to hold a wooden shield.

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!

The viking longship was the main reason people feared them. It was light, and had a flat bottom, so it could easily be pulled ashore, and was able to navigate with ease through shallow waters. villiages and towns that were very up river and thought themselves safe, would be shocked when a warband came from the river, sacked and pillaged, and then left in an hour or two. They were fast, fierce, brave, and skilled.

The Viking Age began June 8, 793, when the Norse warriors ransacked the abbey of Lindisfarne, and lasted until the 11th century.

It is said that the Vikings used the skulls of their enemies as drinking vessels. This was done to as a form of intimidation, to make them appear even more fierce to the people they planned to conquer.

Recent research has found the drinking in skulls by vikings to be a myth. It is supposed to have emerged through a mistranslation of a Norse poetic metaphor (a kenning) where horns (drinking horns) were called "the skull's trees" (because horns "grow" from the skull like trees do from the ground). A modern-era translator, however, forgot the "tree" part and, perhaps out of wild imaginations about how savage the vikings were, rendered it as drinking skulls instead of drinking horns.

They had many dry goods they would bring along. For long voyages they would bring straw and cattle, so they would have milk. But mostly grains. As for drink, they knew not to drink mead or wine when sailing. They would of course have water, but again, on the LONG voyages, they would recycle their water by drinking their own urine.

Yes, Brett Favre retired again, this time probably for good.

He first retired on March 4, 2008, after a tremendous season in which he broke the biggest career records for a quarterback, including most wins, yards, completions, and touchdowns. During his career he won 3 MVP awards and a Super Bowl. He un-retired during 2008 training camp and was traded to the New York Jets. But now he is fully retired and he is not coming back he made his decision already and he ended with the New York Jets.

The vikings wrote with the Futhark. Its a character row that was designed to be carved into wood or stone. They didn't have parchment or paper, so books and whatnot were nearly impossible. Stories and other knowledge was passed down verbally. However, there are MANY examples of rune carved monuments, as well wooden stakes and tablets with quick short messages. Many of them were used by traders to identify goods.
The runes were also believed to be magical, and is the basis of one of the two viking age style of magic, called galdr.

The Vikings were a group of Norse peoples that came from the lands that are now parts of modern day Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. They were both skilled mariners and warriors. They spoke various dialects of what we now call the Old Norse language, a Teutonic language (Old Germanic dialects including the Anglo-Saxon dialect that became Old English are also Teutonic languages). They had a pre-Christian religion at a time when most of the rest of Europe was Catholic.

They invaded Europe to plunder and conquer. They often picked Catholic monasteries as targets, where the unarmed monks could not fight against them or small villages where there were no fortifications.

They also settled in large parts of England (e.g. Northumbria) and northwestern France (hence the region called 'Normandy') and conquered and ruled Sicily for centuries.

about 120 mph I disagree with ^ above, a 200cc chopper only goes as fast as the displacement it can average between 65mph and 90mph depending on where it is set at, however a 200cc motorbike could possibly go 120mph with the proper displacement.

it depend on how many hairs on your nuts one has and how lond they are

yes it was first conquered by grim hence the name grimsby
