Viking Heritage

Viking heritage refers to the cultural, historical, and archaeological legacy of the Norse people from Scandinavia, primarily during the Viking Age (roughly 793–1066 AD). This includes their skills in exploration, shipbuilding, and trade, as well as their mythology, art, and societal structures. Vikings were not only warriors but also farmers, traders, and explorers who expanded across Europe, Asia, and North America. Their influence persists in modern traditions, language roots, and place names in Nordic countries, shaping a vibrant understanding of early Northern European history and culture.
