About this audiobook
Dragonships, raiding and looting parties, hand-to-hand combat, explorers and adventures, and gods and goddesses —which of these truly describe the fearless Vikings?
The word Viking conjures many images. Often, these are created as a result of the numerous movies, books, shows, and comics about the warriors. Some depictions are historically accurate, while others are developed to add to the allure of the invincible warrior.
This audiobook will provide you with details about the time period in which the Vikings reigned. Learn how the Scandinavian people lived, who sailed as part of the Viking raids, the weapons used in battle, and their religious beliefs.
You will discover facts that differ from fiction commercially shown about the Vikings. But don’t worry; your admiration of them will not be diminished. These were amazing Scandinavian people worth knowing more about.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:
- The impact of the Ice Age on Norse landforms
- How the Stone Age and Bronze Age influenced the Vikings
- The first known Viking raid
