The Vikings were skilled seafarers and warriors who dominated European seas and rivers for three centuries. Their origins remain a mystery, but archaeology and science provide insights into their extensive trade networks and the fear they inspired across Europe. Viking culture was deeply connected to the sea, with ship burials being a common practice. Archaeological evidence shows that they engaged in brutal battles, with many victims buried quickly after fierce conflicts. Over time, the Vikings integrated into the cultures they encountered, eventually converting to Christianity. Their influence persisted in the regions they settled, contributing to the formation of new kingdoms and societal changes in Europe.
