The history of the Vikings. Children of Jaseny and Sleat

Few cultures of antiquity cause as much interest as the culture of the Vikings. In just three centuries, from about 750 to 1050, the peoples of Scandinavia transformed the Northern world, and the consequences of this are still felt. The Vikings changed the political and cultural map of Europe, gave a new form of trade, economics, settlements and conflicts, spreading them from the eastern coast of America to the Asian steppes. In addition to aggression, raids and robberies, the Scandinavians brought to the lands who opened, and the peoples that came across new ideas, technologies, beliefs and customs. An outstanding archaeologist with many years of experience Nile Price, based on the results of archaeological excavations and field research, analyzes the life and worldview of the Vikings and discards the deep -rooted stereotypes. Accompanied by a scientist and tireless practice, we will penetrate through the centuries into the distant past to see the Vikings with their own eyes: descendants of the first couple of people, children of ash and elm. This book, translated into several languages, equipped with cards, black and white illustrations and a color tab, contains an excellent review and source analysis and reminds us that the past is simultaneously similar and does not look like a reality usual
