الفايكنج | ثقافة الاكتشاف والنهب

A colorful journey into Viking history, training, weapons, lifestyles and legacy. From Norway to Sicily, from Russia to Ireland, across the Atlantic to North America, Vikings roamed the world in search of land and spoils. Famed for their ferocious sea raids, these brave warriors plundered the coasts of Europe for more than 250 years. The legacy of the Vikings, including such illustrious names as Erik the Red, Harald Hardrada and Cnut, remains central to history, and their actions left an indelible mark wherever they went. Featuring stunning drawings and photographs, this book covers the world of the Vikings, from their customs and war tactics, to their famous weapons and long ships that enabled them to navigate treacherous waters, to their farms where they raised their families, built their communities, and created a culture that still continues to exist. Its effects remain to this day.
