600-year-old #Viking #shipwreck is the largest of its kind. The medieval ‘cog’ was nearly 92 feet long and featured castles on its bow and stern. Link for more information and photos: www.popsci.com/science/larg...

Apparently Erling Haaland's insane flexibility & incredible technical skills are thanks to playing handball & doing track and field in childhood. Even moves that seem comical at first glance are only possible because of his amazing core strength & agility. #ErlingHaaland #Football #Norway #Viking

The Oseberg Ship from Norway is the World’s best-preserved #Viking ship. Built of oak around the year 820, it was pulled ashore fourteen years later for use as a burial ship for two powerful women. Found in a large burial mound in 1903. Excavated the next year. 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

My photo shows the bow (forward part) of the famous Oseberg Viking Ship on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. The ship is richly decorated with carved animal ornaments that wind up along the bow and end in a coiled serpent head prow.

According to the Viking Ship Museum info:
The Oseberg ship was found in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm in Slagen in Vestfold county in 1903. The ship was built in western Norway around AD 820 and had been in regular use for a number of years before it served as a grave ship for two prominent women in AD 834. Their bodies were placed in a burial chamber in the centre of the ship, along with a rich assortment of grave goods. The ship is built of oak and measures 22 metres in length and 5 metres in width. Its twelve strakes are joined with iron rivets. The ship could be rowed as well as sailed. With its sail it could reach a speed of more than ten knots. The uppermost strake has 15 pairs of oar-holes. A full set of oars was included in the grave. When the ship was under sail, the oars were placed in the four wooden forks on the railing. The Vikings would have hung their shields behind the pine lath on the outside of the ship. The archaeologists found no shields in the grave. The rudder is placed aft on the right (starboard) side. There are no thwarts in the Oseberg ship; the crew probably used their sea chests to sit on. The Oseberg ship is the most lavishly decorated Viking ship ever found, but unlike the Gokstad ship, it was probably not designed for long sea voyages.

My photo was taken in 2018. The Viking Ship Museum is currently closed for rebuilding and will reopen as the Museum of the Viking Age in 2027.

I recently played Valheim for the first time, and this was the first thing I noticed, so I had to make a little comic about it. #anforscorner #comic #art #furryart #furrycomic #avian #anthro #history #viking #vegvísir

"Anfor's Corner - Vegvísir"

Panel 1, Anfor, an anthropomorphic magpie, explains while holding a book "Vikings and medieval norse culture are very popular in media nowadays. And one symbol that is seen a lot in those settings is this one, the Vegvisir"

Panel 2, Anfor continues, along a bigger copy of the symbol "a magical compass, this symbol appears in all kinds of Viking-themed movies, series, video games, tattoos... but it has nothing to do with the vikings!"

Panel 3 shows a photo of the vegvísir, as it appears in the Huld Manuscript. "It first appeared in the Huld Manuscript, a magic book from 1860, way long after the viking age. It claims to come from earlier nordic traditions, but without proof."

Fourth and final panel. Anfor, with a distraught look, continues. "Another magical symbol that is not from the Viking Age, but that I have seen Viking reenactors paint on their shields is the so-called “Helm of Awe.” And although the helm appears in Norse sagas, the symbol is taken from a 1670 manuscript!"

We went to #Norway and found this descendant of a #Viking #rooster, proudly proclaiming his heritage. All the #chickens at this historic village were free ranging and seemed well cared for, roaming among the guests. #fowl #hens #hen #birds #travel #animals #funnyanimals #farm #poultry
