Vikings

[chemical_art]

I know that there has been a fair amount of revisionist history about the Vikings, portraying them as traders not raiders and certain of aspects of their society seem remarkably different and interesting. However, I personally sit with Simon Schama's view that if you look at a people long enough, you will find something nice to say about them.

Reminds me of a history book that tried to portray Vikings as early advancers of democracies.

My professor said that was garbage and to disregard anything involving that, it wouldn't be tested on.
