Welcome my friends have you ever heard about
the Vikings sure if hear his name will feel the power and strong bloody thirsty fighters but what was their strange story about them vanishing just vanish
without any clue let me show you the real story be the focus because we will go
deeper in so old north history.
Are you ready ????????
Let’s go………
The Vikings :
- The Vikings or (in Old Norse: víkingr) is a
term given to Norse Germanic peoples, often to ship navigators, merchants, and
warriors in the Scandinavian regions who attacked the British and French coasts
and other parts of Europe in the late eighth to the eleventh century
(793-1066),
- and it is called the Viking era, as It is used
less frequently to refer to the inhabitants of the Scandinavian regions in
general.
- Scandinavian countries include Sweden, Denmark,
Norway, and Iceland.
- They were bloodthirsty, strong, fearless, and
engaged in agriculture and trade in everything from crops, valuables, and
slaves, and all of that was part of their raids.
- The Vikings were famous for their navigation
skills and their longships, and the unique design of the ships that contained a
place designated for burying their dead until their final resting place,
- and in a few hundred years they were able to
control and colonize the coasts, rivers, and islands of Europe, where they
burned, killed, and plundered, deserving of their name Vikings, which means
pirate in the ancient Scandinavian languages.
- The language of the Vikings depended on the
region in which they stayed. The Viking era lasted for a long time and included
large areas of Northern Europe, which explains their ability to speak any
language common to their location. Here are some of the languages they spoke:
- Old Norse was popular with the Scandinavians
and Norse settlements from the thirteenth century.
- And they launched a lot
of invasions to satisfy their desire to expand their kingdom.
- Nearly four centuries
before the arrival of the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus to the coasts
of the Americas, Viking fighters had reached the shores of Greenland and then
the North American continent, and established a settlement for them in
"Lan o Meadows" at the far northern tip of Newfoundland Island in
Canada, according to the results. New study.
Strange……….
What they believed what was their religion:
- The religion of the Vikings before Christianity
was similar to the religion of other Germanic tribes, where they sanctified several
gods, such as Odin, the god of war, the leader of the Norwegian gods, Thor, the
god of thunder, and Balder, the god of light.
- Viking warriors believed that if they died
heroically they would be invited to dwell with Odin in Valhalla, his palace in
the realm of the gods.
- The Norse gods are opposed by a large group of
evil giants, led by Loki.
- The Vikings believed that gods and men would
eventually be destroyed in the Ragnarok, a mighty battle against the giants,
and yet that a new peaceful world would emerge from the abyss of disaster.
Their most prominent kings:
 |
| Eric the Red |
Eric the Red was known by this name for his red
hair. Eric discovered Green Land in the year 985, and Eric has three sons:
 |
| Leif Ericson |
- 1-Leif Ericson discovered the American coast.
 |
| Harold Godwinson |
- 2-Harold Godwinson shone in Norway and achieved
great victories from the many conquests he conquered.
 |
| Ragnar Lothbrok |
- 3-The legendary Ragnar Lothbrok, married three times
and had six children, and the facts of this king are attested by the most
prominent historical sources.
- Ragnar was a simple peasant before he rose in
the hierarchy of power and became a king of extreme misery and semi-gods for the Vikings, leading vast invasions.
What is the secret of their disappearance?
 |
| The Viking's lands |
- In the year 985, the Vikings discovered the
island of Greenland, led by Eric the Red, and after 1410, there were 100,000
Viking colonists on the shores of Greenland, and this was the last date that
recorded their presence in that colony, and since that time, none of them were
seen again and no news was heard of them.
- Where Norway and Iceland, like the whole of
Europe, entered a labyrinth of wars and deadly diseases, and here all
communication was cut off with the people of Greenland far from Europe, and the
last contact between the two parties was in the year 1410 with a ship voyage
from Greenland to Norway.
- After these dark and gloomy years had passed,
Hans Edge returned to establish a new colony in Greenland in 1721, and
searchers for the old Vikings colony found only traces of their villages and
huts and some of the animals they migrated from.
- Their disappearance has become one of the
biggest mysteries in our modern history unless you ask the Inuit what happened
to the Vikings.
- Even the writer “Vilhal Jamhir Stephensen” wrote in his book
that the disappearance of the Viking colony of Greenland is something
mysterious and strange.
- Strangely, the confirmed hypothesis says that
the Vikings, the inhabitants of the colony of Greenland, traveled to the north,
to the far north of Greenland, to the North Pole, where life was with gardens,
warm and fertile forests, and fish were abundant until they disappeared!
Ensure the fact that they migrated to the inner
world:
- In a serious attempt, Fert, an officer of the
US Navy Division, decided to discover the reason for the disappearance of the
Vikings at the beginning of the year 1900.
- He confirmed that he had studied the
nature and way of life of the Eskimos. The Eskimos acknowledged that the
Vikings had headed north toward the North Pole.
- Where they found a paradise where there are
abundant fish, a place the Eskimo said they were aware of. But they did not
think of living in it because they believed there were evil creatures in it!
- After that, a group of Viking explorers returned
with the officer to Greenland and told the residents there of the great mystery
of the disappearance of their ancestors, which the Eskimos told them about the
existence of this world.
- And many groups of them went to this place, but
they never returned
- According to Admiral "Cook Bradley",
this region where the Vikings disappeared is located in the southwest of the
Arctic, and it is the same undiscovered region of this pole, called "the
unexplored region."
At The End:
As we see this story didn’t end and no one
knows what happened to them the evidence I showed you can say they went for new
land but is this really what happened or there is something else?
Maybe with days, we will discover the truth,
what you think what happened to them tell me and if you like my topics follow
me and tell me if there is any topic want me to talk about it.
Best Wishes For The Next Time
