WILD THINGS ABOUT THE VIKINGS
Added on: 11th Sep 2016
VIKINGS PREFERRED TO BE BLONDE. MEN WITH
DARKER HAIR WOULD USE STRONG SOAP WITH A
HIGH LEVEL OF LYE TO BLEACH THEIR HAIR
SOME VIKINGS WOULD BLEACH THEIR BEARDS AS WELL
VIKINGS WERE NEVER PART OF A UNIFIED GROUP,
AS IN THEY DIDN'T SEE THEMSELVES AS BEING
ONE NATION OF VIKINGS
THE TERM VIKING ONLY REFERS TO SCANDINAVIANS WHO
TOOK PART IN OVERSEAS EXPEDITIONS
DURING THE VIKING AGE, PRESENT DAY DENMARK,
SWEDEN, AND NORWAY SIMPLY CONSISTED OF A
NUMBER OF TRIBES WHO WERE CONSTANTLY AT
WAR WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN THEY WEREN'T
OFF RAIDING
THE AVERAGE VIKING LIVED TO BE AROUND
40 YEARS OLD
LONG BEFORE THEY REACHED THAT AGE, THEIR
TEETH WOULD HAVE BEEN WORN DOWN BY
THE GRIT IN THEIR BREAD
A VIKING'S MOST TREASURED POSSESSION WAS HIS
SWORD. IT WAS OFTEN HANDED DOWN FROM
GENERATION TO GENERATION.
