10 Unsolved Viking Mysteries

The Viking raiders were terrifying, which is why I haven't been to Denmark. I will never go into that medieval death trap of a country. They never say that Denmark is the most mysterious country in the world and when I say very I mainly mean myself, it is mysterious because of the Viking influence in its absurd culture. The Vikings were like the ten team of Europe in the good century. Wherever they went, they left a trail of destruction and mystery. Here are some of those

mysteries

at the end of the 10th century. Viking explorers arrived in Greenland, settled there and colonized the islands. together with Iceland they settled in the southwest, which for a time was uninhabited.

The Greenlandic Inuit lived in the north. The Viking colonies and Greenland grew rapidly as their exports of walrus tusks were valuable, but after 400 V years, the Greenlandic Vikings mysteriously disappeared, their settlements became ghost towns and it is unknown why Forte left Greenland until recently. due to climate change, but modern studies show that climate change did not occur not in Greenland, at least some say they left to settle in Canada because Greenland's soil had eroded and they say the Inuit forced them. Going back to Scandinavia, all we know for sure is that the roof suddenly disappeared, but the swords are a type of medieval sword.

The swords were of Viking origin, but spread throughout Europe, as they were known for their strength. Dumbswords were seen as legendary and dominant on battlefields. Every king wanted one. but less than 200 genuine ulfberht swords have been found, although there are many imitations, it is obvious to know which one is a genuine and Witcher imitation, but no one knows how the Vikings made ulfberht swords, they were much stronger than any other sword of the time with which they were manufactured. crucible steel which, as far as history can tell, was only possible to create in the 18th century, but the Vikings clearly used crucible steel a thousand years before this, how did Viking blacksmiths use such advanced technology a thousand years before their time they were forging super? -Strong swords and it is not known how Abuk Blood Ax was a Norwegian Viking who became king of Northumbria in northern England.

It is not clear how he became king, but the English king was not happy about this, he ordered his soldiers to attack Northumbria in revenge and promising more destruction. Unless they eliminated their Viking king in no time, Erik Blood Ax lost his phone, but just four years later in '92, he became king again and again, we don't know how he did it, this time he converted to Christianity , but that was not enough, since we know from beings that they once again forced him from power. Alec was exiled and while in Spain killed, although that is one story of how he died, we don't know for sure what happens to Erik Blood Axe, another story says that he was betrayed in battle and killed by his own soldiers but we don't know what What happens to him or if he was also king of Norway as some sagas describe, either way he died in 954 and when Northumbria was absorbed by England he was its last king.

A mysterious urban legend comes from November 1965 and goes like this: a police officer was doing rounds in a small town near Liverpool late at night arrested a man thought to be a mugger but suddenly they noticed a green glow from above looking up into the sky they saw the cloud glowing brightly and in the shape of a

viking

ship it was moving faster than the other clouds as if they were sailing through the sky, you can see 20 Vikings inside the cloud that little by little appeared as a real ship instead of a cloud, soon the ship disappeared into the air.

They later discovered that an ancient Viking ship was discovered in that area in 1828. Medieval sagas say that the Vikings used sunstones to navigate their vest-type ships. A mysterious crystal that the Vikings held in their eyes, the crystal showed them which direction to sail or something like a Norse myth. account and since medieval times people have wondered if there was any truth to it and, if so, what were sunstones? A 16th century shipwreck was recently discovered underwater. Among the remains was a cloudy but transparent glass. Some researchers think it could be a sunstone it was made of.

A glass mine in Iceland turns out that looking through the glass can help you see the Sun on cloudy days, which would have been useful for navigation. Rotating the crystal can reveal the position of the sun to a degree, so maybe the sun stones were real or maybe not. You've seen the show Vikings, you may be familiar with Ragnar Lothbrok. He was a Viking hero mentioned in several sagas and poems. His adventures were legendary. He led many raids against England. He was said to have become a powerful Viking king, but was eventually captured by the Northumbrian king and executed by being thrown into a snake pit.

The only problem is that we don't know if he existed. There are no historical records of him, but he is mentioned in more than 30 poems. In the poems, he was the father of Ivar Boneless, a Viking who existed Ivar Boneless was a Viking commander who invaded England we don't know why they called him Boneless Suggested reasons ranged from erectile dysfunction to disability, which is why Ivar Boneless existed. but his father might not have done it or something Rollo was a notorious Viking known for During his raids into what is now France, the Frankish king granted Rollo and his warriors an area of ​​land called Normandy, where Rollo became the first Duke of Kings.

Council to stop Rollo's raids on his cities. Historians have always wondered why Rollo came, but they never knew. It was probably Denmark or Norway who discovered that they opened the grave of his grandson and conducted DNA tests, but upon opening the grave they realized that the skeleton was much older than Rollo and had family connections. He appears to be an ancient Celtic chief, but was buried in the manner of a medieval duke in 1888 a Viking tomb was discovered in Norway he appeared to be an important leader buried with a long ship a discovery too important to risk damaging a study He sealed the tomb for future historians in 2007.

It was eventually reopened inside a burial mound atop a Viking ship. He was clearly a wealthy man who died around 900 AD. C., but there are no records of who this man was, something that could have been king of a small kingdom unknown to historians, would have been short-lived and would have soon been absorbed. In Norway people hunt reindeer in Norway and to be honest I'm surprised Santa Claus allows it. The reindeer hunter was recently at a table on a remote mountain when he found a Viking sword. He was five thousand three hundred and eighty-one feet above sea level when he realized it. a well-preserved Viking sword in the ground has most likely been there for over a thousand years untouched it is impossible to know why it was left there possibly it was lost during a heavy snow storm the iron of a sword is well rusted the The fact that it survived for so long outdoors only shows how strong Viking swords were, it is incredible how far the Viking explorers went and it is unclear how far their colonies extended.

There are two questions, but one of the biggest Viking

mysteries

of all, how far the Viking colonies went. Scope and where is Vinland Finland is an area of ​​North America explored by the Vikings in the year 1000, it was described in the Arges verse and disputed to mean land of wine, it was a large Viking colony, but its location is unclear, only one long-term settlement has been found. It has been found in North America, the settlement is not fought to be Vinland, but part of a larger colony called Vinland, so the real question is how far Vinland extended and where the other settlements are this August.

Hellas Vinland failed due to internal conflicts among the Viking settlers. possible other settlements were completely destroyed, well that's the end of this video and it was a glorious video, if I do say so myself, I hope you enjoyed it and I would love for you to answer this question in the comments and if you like, even more content you will find interesting facts on my Instagram daily you will find extra videos on my Facebook page and that is also daily
