Did the vikings? ...

Vikings are a branch of Germanic people living in Scandinavia, also known as Nord (Yankee, "North" is still called Nord in German). Vikings have a small population, but they are a race with great influence in European history. Their footprints reach the hinterland of Greenland, Iceland and Russia in the north, Alexandria and Jerusalem in the south and the warm Mediterranean coast, Britain and Ireland in the west, and northeast North America in the east (vikland is called by the vikings, which means Viking land). At the peak, more than 3,000 Viking immigrants settled in more than 300 pastures on the west coast of Greenland. According to tax records, the Viking population in Iceland reached 77,500 in 1095.

The basic way of life of the Vikings was farming, and their farms were family-based. But they are not self-sufficient small farmers. They also went out to sea to catch fish, and caught a kind of cod rich in the North Atlantic, that is, the fish used to make wheat-flavored fish hamburgers and fish and chips (cod chips, a British snack that is deeply hated by international students), and then salted them and bought them for western Europe; They are also engaged in international trade.

The harsh environment and backward production methods make Viking culture in a rather primitive state. Myths and heroic epics are passed down orally by minstrels.

Vikings are warlike. There are two main gods in their genealogy. The noblest god is Odin, who belongs to Ethel and keeps company with Regonsol. He created everything in the world and has all the knowledge, but the most important thing is that he is the god of war and dominates life and death. Another god, Vannier, is composed of Frey and his sister freya. It is relatively mild, in charge of reproduction and wealth, roughly equivalent to Zhao Gongming and Songzi Guanyin.

Vikings made no secret of their pursuit of wealth and contempt for poverty. In their mythology, Rigg, also known as Heimdahl, the father of mankind, roamed the world. He called Tral to the descendants of the poor, ugly and hunchbacked, and was a slave for generations; For a well-off family, he sent Carl, a healthy and handsome child, and his descendants are skilled and hardworking free men; Nobles with outstanding achievements and rich armor were admitted to Yale. He is blond and blue-eyed. When I grew up, I fought in the north, opened up territory, had many children and grandchildren and became a royal family.

The Vikings didn't have no words, but the 24-letter writing system handed down by the Yankees was primitive. Without a good medium, they could only be carved on wood and stone, which could only be used as records and was not convenient for communication. For the convenience of marking, letters are composed of straight lines and broken lines, and there is no curve of modern letters. For example, the "O" is a circle now, but it was a diamond at that time. This kind of writing is the embryonic form of English later. However, depressed Vikings thought that 24 letters were too complicated and gradually simplified to 16, and their expressive ability was even worse.
